WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.799 Friday Show coming up. Remember when you thought Jim Acosta 2 00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:10.160 had hit the top limits of insufferability. It was post 3 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.199 really fake news because like at first when he was 4 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.480 just fake news on that first one, and like, ah, 5 00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.320 that was what a moment. Like there were a few 6 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.719 moments early in Trump's presidency. There was the initial labeling 7 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.760 of Jim Acosta, Jim Acosta fake news. And if I 8 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:34.320 remember correctly, that happened at the how are we going 9 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.759 to handle the finances press or? Do you remember that 10 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.880 they held a press conference and they had all what 11 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.880 do they have? They had like all the papers in 12 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.000 front of them. I remember, I don't remember the totality 13 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.119 of what it was, but basically it was when they 14 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.719 talked about the structure of how Trump's not going to 15 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.240 be involved, his boys are going to do it. Here's 16 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.359 what they're going to do, some stuff having to do 17 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.280 with the hotel they owned in Washington there and and 18 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.920 it was at that one where he earned his first stripe. 19 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.280 And then not that long after was the famous Yellow 20 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.840 Room press conference where Trump just sat up there for 21 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.359 well over an hour just sparring with reporters. April Ryan 22 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.159 Jim Acosta again, that's where he earned very fake news 23 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.239 second stripe and I talked about it. I might you know, 24 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:33.040 Jim Acosta should be naming children after Donald Trump? Had you, Russ, 25 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.239 We work in this history industry. Have you had you 26 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.640 ever heard of Jim Acosta? Really? I mean maybe you'd 27 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.159 heard it before, but that name didn't stick with you 28 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.159 until Trump labeled him, right, they didn't. 29 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.439 Never heard of him? Yeah, I mean you know, he 30 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.799 was the annoying guy from CNN who yelled at Trump. 31 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.040 Yes, that was it, and then he got like he 32 00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.480 made Trump made you, bro. You you can tell it. 33 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.439 You can even say that you made you by getting Trump. Fine, whatever, 34 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.120 but if not for Trump, then not you. 35 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:10.039 You're you were. 36 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.680 His foil and everybody has to This is I mean, 37 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.680 this is straight comic book one oh one, and I 38 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.240 know it's du dau well, no, no, no, no, it's 39 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.879 because comics. The concept that comics utilize is a concept 40 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.919 from real life, or at least they used to utilize 41 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.199 the inherent struggle of good versus evil. And yes, you 42 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.400 can even murky it up right, And so you would 43 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:37.479 have protagonists that are not altogether good people, which in 44 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:45.439 a way is is a foundation of spirituality because you're 45 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.159 you're you're only human, right. I'm trying to keep this 46 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.159 as secular as possible. But but understand, and I know 47 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.080 that some of you hate this. Understand that the best 48 00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:01.759 use and in character arc, which it was a consistent 49 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.319 one in Hollywood. Look, we didn't even coordinate. We didn't 50 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:06.960 even let me make sure Ross isn't screen and call. 51 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.759 We didn't even coordinate this ross. What is the proper 52 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:15.240 heroes arc used to be? As you understand it, because 53 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.039 I this is, this is defined, this is something culturally 54 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:19.479 we know. 55 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.599 You mean a storybook like the hero's journey. 56 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.360 Yes, the hero's journey. 57 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.080 This is the most classic thing in life and in 58 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.719 cinema and in comic books and books, in literature, you 59 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:34.199 name it. 60 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.560 Sure, you're sort of like maybe a nothing or a 61 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.680 normal person. And then you have a challenge and you 62 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.319 fail and you overcome it and then you succeed and 63 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.759 you you you you know, you overcome whatever it was 64 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:46.719 that was keeping you down. 65 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.120 But you have to fail. 66 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.039 For you have to fail, there has to be a struggle. 67 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.759 Yes, doesn't that sound a lot like the Bible? Again, 68 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.759 I'm trying to keep it secular, but but you know, 69 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.520 because without and this is the trans and this is 70 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.759 and this is why I think people, this is why 71 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.680 this is what's roady movies too, because we're not going 72 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:06.479 to do this thing, and that's how you end up 73 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.280 with these uh you know, uh female superheroes that are are. 74 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.000 That was the problem with Captain Marvel, right, yeah, or 75 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.759 the problem with Ray and Star Wars yeah. 76 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:22.079 Op from the jump, right, nothing to overcome, nothing to overcome, 77 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.319 or if if there was, you know, in Ray, it's 78 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.480 implied that basically your life sucks there and that's fine, 79 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.839 but you don't you don't see it, and then there's 80 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.800 no there's nothing past that. There's adversity, but it's always 81 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.399 met on an equal footing and then eventually it's just 82 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.720 it's far exceeded. So when when you're when you're looking 83 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.959 at all of this stuff and and you look at 84 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:50.040 those narratives, Jim Acosta was was one of the things 85 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.879 that Trump had to overcome. And if you want to 86 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.680 reverse it, right, because sometimes this is why we have 87 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.800 discussions about who was actually who was portrayed as a 88 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.160 but was actually right. You see those lists all the time. 89 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.199 Then you can have people who, through the lens of 90 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.160 political ideology, they see Jim Acosta as currently in that 91 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.720 he needs to overcome him mode. I don't care how 92 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.199 you view it. The one needs the other, the ying 93 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.879 and the yang. So whether you look at it, you 94 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.879 know from a spiritualist sense where you need to overcome 95 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.279 and then you do so by you know, from you know, 96 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.879 accepting Jesus and living your life and knowing that. 97 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.759 You know you're always valuable fallible, that's fine. 98 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.639 Or if you just want to look at purely from 99 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.199 a comic book heroes arc these are classic elements that is, 100 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:54.040 subconsciously people identify form opinions about like this is this 101 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.360 is getting into some more deep divy stuff, but like, 102 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.560 subconsciously we like to have somebody to root for and 103 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.600 root again anst. Obviously, when it comes to politics, there's 104 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:04.639 many instances where. 105 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.639 We take it too far, but you still like to 106 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.560 know who's who for. 107 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.399 The same reason we're sitting there breaking down the uh 108 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.720 the Philly fan Green Bay fan thing. Because life's complicated. 109 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.240 It's not just some guy yelling the sea word at 110 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.199 a woman. It's some guys yelling the sea word at 111 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.879 a woman who's man and is pushing it on for 112 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.240 like clout and and and requiring her to sit there 113 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:39.879 and take more abuse like sometimes sometimes there's there's really 114 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.439 it's very difficult to figure out who who the good 115 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.959 people are. There's lots of movies like that too, lots 116 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.639 of movies like that. There's no fight Club. There are 117 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.800 no good people in fight Club. So that's where we 118 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.560 get the anti hero and all this stuff. All right, Well, 119 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.519 we're not gonna get into film philosophy and this stuff. 120 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.720 I'm just pointing out that Jim Acosta should name a 121 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.360 a family member after Trump as a thank you or 122 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.279 you know, his estate. We'll see if he gets to 123 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.480 stick around there doing some some chair shuffling on the 124 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:14.839 decks of the Titanic. 125 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:15.560 Over there, we'll tell you about that. 126 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.519 Unfortunately, we had a couple people pass away yesterday. We 127 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.160 got to talk about I don't know who the third 128 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.839 is yet, and what the hell is going on in Georgia. 129 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.680 Uh did you see that? You see the video of 130 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.439 the state senator there who was either either tripped over 131 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.800 a stanchion took himself a soccer dive. That's not important. 132 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.519 I don't care why he ended up on well, I 133 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.680 care why he ended up on the ground. I don't 134 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.040 even care if he played it up a little, it's 135 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.560 how they got there. And if you don't know the story, 136 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.360 and this is a Republican of Republican violence, that's what's 137 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.319 even crazier. When I first saw it, I didn't realize 138 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.399 that the speaker in Georgia was Republican and not a Democrat. 139 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.399 Based on what was happening there and the reason why 140 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.360 it is absolutely insane. So we'll fill you in on 141 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.879 that so you don't have to get into the muck 142 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.240 trying to figure it out. Also, of course, Pete Calender 143 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:19.279 will join us at eight o five, So stick around 144 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.360 back in just a few because there's there's a story 145 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.879 about something Wyoming wants to do, so I'm interested, so 146 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.920 I'm clicking on it and it makes a ton of sense. 147 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.639 Then I see people mad at the state of Wyoming 148 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:37.559 for for no reason I can understand, and then they 149 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.840 have to in true Internet fashion, is if Wyoming was 150 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.639 a person, right, and they're mad at this person for 151 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.600 something else, they then have to go deep dive to 152 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.320 try to find an obscure takedown point. And then, trust me, 153 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.159 when I fill in what these two things are, it 154 00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.360 sounds crazy, I'll defended and I'll mock the people mad 155 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.639 at and you'll learn something. We'll get into that here 156 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.000 at six thirty five. Okay, uh, first this, I was 157 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.559 reading this article this once as w r L looks 158 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:18.039 like it's AP with some localization or whatever. No, okay, 159 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.120 all right, no no, no, this one's this is just 160 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.639 ril on the slug here, all right, Triangle residents brace 161 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:28.320 for TikTok band impact amid uncertain future for local creators. 162 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:35.039 So Sunday could be the day goes today though, and. 163 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.879 Then what are they are? 164 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.919 They are they waiting for? Try to find the timing here? 165 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.960 When is the Supreme Court thing supposed to? Is that Monday? 166 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.960 So it could you shut off Sunday but then starting 167 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.480 getting Monday. I don't know what's going to happen. And 168 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.039 but let me say this because the article is mostly 169 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:58.279 them talking to North Carolina based TikTok creators, and they 170 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.960 a variety of things. They talk to a woman who 171 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:08.000 does parenting stuff, another one that does cookings, and the 172 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.120 what's it called where they're doing the makeup get get 173 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.720 ready with me or something? I am. So I'm gonna 174 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.480 sound so old on the TikTok stuff because really the 175 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.240 only time I dip in to TikTok is to talk 176 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:27.240 about his political impact and stupid challenges where people are 177 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.519 clearly trying to get other people killed. So, but I 178 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:34.360 want to say is I don't begrudge the creators. It's hard. 179 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.320 It's hard to. 180 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.200 Build followers on you know, on on one of these platforms. 181 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.840 It's just like it's hard to build followers and listeners 182 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.039 or viewers and in in in any sense of it, 183 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.720 unless you're Ross's Twitch channel, which blows up immediately. But hey, 184 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:53.320 we can't all be that, you know. And so they 185 00:10:53.360 --> 00:11:02.120 worked and they built this and not and they when 186 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.960 and when they built this stuff. Nobody I don't think 187 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.360 anyone really seriously had the concerns that has has led 188 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:14.399 to this. And and for every minute the company, the 189 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:19.639 parent company, indicates that they're unwilling to even sell this thing, 190 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.679 that they're not going to be able to do anymore 191 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:26.519 in the US and would rather shut it down, it 192 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.120 becomes that much more suss that if you ever got 193 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:34.679 to look at the code, Holy hell, right, like what 194 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.200 is going on? Like the concerns with behavior like that, 195 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.720 you're kind of telling on yourself. But I also feel 196 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.120 bad for people who either this is their primary income 197 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.679 or it's a side thing. I don't know. I don't 198 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.639 even know what normal follower numbers on TikTok are, Like 199 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.039 what's the number where it could become your own job, 200 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.960 your only job? Like what is that break even number? 201 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:06.320 Because it's different on every you know, YouTube subscribers are 202 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:11.720 far more valuable from a revenue standpoint than Twitter impressions, right, 203 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:15.919 So I don't know what that is, but I thought 204 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.799 it's usually high. So I don't think these are their 205 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.440 primary jobs. Like one of the women here runs cooking 206 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.639 one uh Gigi's kitchen. She has one hundred thousand followers. 207 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.159 I'm assuming that's not that's not a full time job, 208 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.879 but you know it's obviously creators with with with much more, 209 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.679 and I feel and hopefully you've you've diversified on some 210 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:44.960 other platforms. But also like, this isn't a decision. Just 211 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.320 if this decision was just about TikTok, stupid and people 212 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.879 keep eating cinnamon, so we need to stop this. But 213 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.799 that's this is this is far different, and there's a 214 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.559 lot of different opinions on this. But like even that 215 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.600 one of the creators their interview, I mean her, she's like, yeah, 216 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.240 it sounds like a valid reason to shut this down, 217 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.039 and I'm I'm glad they're taking a critical look at it, 218 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.480 and I really hope they're able to get a deal done, 219 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.759 even as little interest as I have with TikTok in general, 220 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.759 if they get a get a job, or get it done, 221 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.639 sell it to I don't know, pick somebody here in 222 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.200 the US and want to move forward, trying to get 223 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:28.240 teenagers eat too much cinnamon whatever, do your thing, go 224 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.480 along with it along the way. Uh yeah, okay, no, no, no, okay, 225 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.960 So are those the Supreme Court is expected to release 226 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.039 their TikTok. 227 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:35.720 Band this morning. 228 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.840 Okay, all right, that's good. I could I always just 229 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.159 assume it's Monday unless stated so it will happen before 230 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.440 when the thing, So it will happen probably right after 231 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:54.480 the show. Uh so we'll uh, we shall see, all right. 232 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.039 It is that time of the year. It is that 233 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:03.639 time of the year, Monday, of course MLK Day, right, 234 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.759 but diration m okay, the holiday, the observant of the holiday. 235 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.480 We will not be on the air Monday, just FI 236 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.360 on that company holiday. And you know I you don't 237 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.200 want to say no to the company, so uh and 238 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.519 that's fine, because really Tuesday is what you want, like 239 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.240 what happened to the inauguration? Because nothing will be happening 240 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:27.480 in the morning. But and then you get you know, 241 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.600 Black History Month, and every year, like clockwork, there is 242 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.799 a story that we wait and see, you know how 243 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:38.360 around Halloween. Eventually there'll be a frat or a sorority 244 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.159 that hosts a party where people are running around with 245 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:47.960 shoe polo shud every year like clockwork. Can't can't understand it. 246 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.919 But also, I don't think we missed a year. 247 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:52.159 Ross. 248 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.240 I haven't seen our our annual story that we see 249 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.399 this time of the year, you know, the one Acoday 250 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.759 Radio for Oh it was down such a rabbit hole there, 251 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.279 but I not remember what I teased for six point thirty. Oh, 252 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:10.200 that's right, this audio, okay, or might make a little 253 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.799 note for myself what's going on down in Georgia? So 254 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.240 and this is his best I understand it. So I'm 255 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.639 sure that if I lived in Georgia, there's probably a 256 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:27.840 lot more behind the scenes, little nuanced stuff that adds 257 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.159 a little flavor to this. But I think that we've 258 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:36.080 got more than enough to get a pretty good understanding. 259 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.120 And it starts with a situation that we have seen 260 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:44.039 in the North Carolina elected official in General Assembly here. 261 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.399 We've seen it at the congressional level obviously, and that 262 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:52.559 is establishment versus upstart. Okay, and you have it on 263 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.120 the Republican side, and you have it on the Democrat side. 264 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.240 You got the squad, and then you got Pelosi, You've 265 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.960 got the Freedom Caucus, and you've got you know, your 266 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.879 your country club GOP or however you want to describe 267 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.320 them leadership, and they butt heads. It's the reason that 268 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.919 Massy was probably removed from his cushy committee thing the 269 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:21.120 other day. They get pay because Mike Johnson, if you 270 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.080 step out of line. 271 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.759 This is what they do. 272 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:25.480 And they always do it, even when you say that 273 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.679 they're going to do it, they do it because it's 274 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.480 them ruling with an iron fist. I'll let you make 275 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.759 your own opinion as what your party does, but you 276 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.360 know this scenario. So that's what's going on down in Georgia. 277 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:45.360 You have the establishment Republicans, the old school Republicans, and 278 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.240 you have some of these guys and gals who are 279 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.039 you know, Freedom Caucus or outliers or whatever. 280 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.200 And they don't suffer. They don't fall in line. 281 00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.919 They are they're very outspoken, and that is but prompted 282 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:05.000 all of this because you have this dude from like 283 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:09.039 northwest Georgia who is I don't mean this as an 284 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:17.640 insult that boy is country af okay, but seriously, and 285 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.200 he and I guess it was surrounding the. 286 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.319 Naming of a building. 287 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.079 For the for a former Speaker of the House who 288 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.680 had passed away in Georgia. Again, I don't know all 289 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.039 of Georgia's politics there, but and the Speaker of the 290 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.400 House is a Republican. This state senator is also a Republican. 291 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.680 But they are the opposite ends of that spectrum I 292 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:48.160 just talked about, and so and also his name is 293 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.960 Colton Moore, by the way, who's the senator who got arrested. 294 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:54.640 He was attempting to attend the State of the State, 295 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.920 the Joint Session, which is held in the House Chamber. 296 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.640 Because I think people were confused by editor was trying 297 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.400 to go in the House chamber. He was trying to 298 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.599 go in the House Chamber because it's the larger chamber, 299 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:06.200 which is why we. 300 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:07.200 Went to the State of the Union. 301 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.839 It's held in the you know, the House representatives at 302 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:14.160 the federal level, and he was told he's not allowed 303 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.640 to go to it. 304 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:17.559 Well, he was elected. 305 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.880 He represents I think it's about a quarter million Georgians, 306 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.640 if that's what they're called, and he was going to go, 307 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.440 but he had gotten a letter from the Speaker of 308 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.559 the House saying that unless he did certain things, he 309 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.440 wasn't going to be allowed to attend. John Burns is 310 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.839 the speaker. Because when they were considering what is usually 311 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.119 a pretty innocuous thing to have this the former now 312 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.200 deceee Speaker's name slapped on the side of the building. 313 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:57.079 He criticized the former speaker openly, and the old school 314 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.000 people there they lost their crap, including Burns, And he 315 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.480 sent a letter. And I don't know how any of 316 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.920 this is constitutional, whether it's under the federal constitution, but 317 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.480 more specifically under George's constitution, which I'll explain in a moment. 318 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.680 He sent a letter to Moore saying that unless he. 319 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:22.759 Apologized publicly and did it, did a literally one of 320 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.119 the apologies in front of all the members. He had 321 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.559 to burn said he had to go over the other 322 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.400 chamber and apologize to all the represent and he said no, 323 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.599 he said, I can say whatever I want you guys 324 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:37.599 are proffering a bill thinking that this guy should have 325 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:39.720 his name on something, and I think he's I think 326 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.519 he was a jackass. And again, maybe War's right, maybe 327 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:47.039 he's not, but it doesn't matter. And so butterert was 328 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.119 this speaker that he barred him from being able to 329 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:55.440 access where the Moore does his job because he was 330 00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:00.559 duly elected. But Moore shows up anyway, and he's not 331 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.480 swinging fists or anything. In fact, he's he's he's you 332 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.759 can tell he's very intentionally, slowly just moving his body 333 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.759 forward trying to enter. And you have are they they 334 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:16.519 called the door manager or something whatever, and you have 335 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:21.000 all these Georgia State Police there, and the door manager 336 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.519 kind of pushes his way back into him, and more 337 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.759 whether he tripped over a stanchion there's like a little 338 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:32.279 metal footing for this thing that's there, or the foot 339 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.480 of one of the officers standing there. More goes backwards, 340 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:38.519 and you know, people like it's exaggerated, but all like 341 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:42.079 he clearly it started with the guy pushing him, is 342 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:46.319 pushed to the ground, he gets up and the Georgia police, 343 00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:48.400 the guy who pushed him fades into the back the 344 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.000 Georgia police surround him, they put him in handcuffs and 345 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:58.799 arrest him. Well, in Georgia, it says no member during 346 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:04.119 a legislative session, which they are in right now, or 347 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.920 during a legislative you know, an event that was called 348 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.079 into session basically, and the state of the state is 349 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.039 an event called into session. They can't Georgia, this is 350 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.480 pretty They can't get arrested, which is the law in 351 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.799 a lot of states with the accept you know, they 352 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.759 get arrested for murder and stuff, but for most things 353 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:25.960 during any official capacity or time and up to fifteen 354 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.720 days after I actually read the statute in Georgia something 355 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.519 like this. You can't arrest people that are elected members 356 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.480 that are attempting to do something that's part of their duty. 357 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.319 There and you know, demanding. 358 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:43.839 An apology of struggle session because he disparaged your dead 359 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:44.640 friend's name. 360 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:47.200 It doesn't work like that. 361 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.359 So, I mean, what's going on down there is I 362 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:55.240 understand it is pretty pretty bad man, and that's something 363 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.279 the governor doesn't want to get involved because he's being 364 00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:57.799 a coward. 365 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:02.160 He probably should will there be. 366 00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.640 Consequences for the guy, for the guy who shoved this. 367 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.640 How about those police officers. This is why this is 368 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:13.359 the concern people have with police officers, is because there 369 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:17.559 are far too many instances where any normal person should 370 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.599 recognize that what's happening here shouldn't be happening, and because 371 00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.400 you have powerful people telling you to do this, like 372 00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:30.160 the speaker of the house or the official they have 373 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.559 some weird name for again, the door open or the 374 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:35.680 door holder or something whatever they call it. The officer, 375 00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:42.920 the presiding officer is what this is. They literally committed assault. 376 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:45.440 Now you got to ask yourself, does the assault rise 377 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:51.279 to the level enough of being able to arrest the speaker? 378 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:55.480 Probably not because of the way that the thing, but 379 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.200 for the same reason that more shouldn't be barred from it. 380 00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:02.799 And the Georgia police that are that join in on this, no, 381 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:09.480 they this is easy and if you don't understand it, 382 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.960 you have an obligation to try to understand it. I 383 00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:14.960 read the statute. It seems very clear to me. And 384 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.720 I'm not a lawyer. We had a Russhack before the show. 385 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.200 I'm not a lawyer, but there's a lot of lawyers 386 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.400 around there, and I think it's more a lawyer. 387 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:27.119 He might even be a lawyer. The whole thing is. 388 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:31.759 Pretty wild and uh, deeply disturbing for again for a 389 00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:44.400 number of reasons. Again, so there's not a lot of screaming, 390 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.640 there's not even a ton of pushing because bors A 391 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:49.319 keeping his. 392 00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:53.119 Hands down to Northwest Georgia, who duly elected me to 393 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:54.000 be here today. 394 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.720 All right, Yeah, so that's it, that's him and uh 395 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.519 and just moments later he's in a handc huffs getting 396 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.400 let out of there. Yeah, they get them themselves a 397 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.799 little bit of a problem down there, Atlanta and Georgia. 398 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.119 They're they're going to feature prominently in the show today 399 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.519 with one other story, and that's the one I teased 400 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.359 for you about. It's not the menu thing where we 401 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:23.240 generally see that outrage. It's arguably arguably something a lot 402 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:31.480 crazier man, a lot crazier. Uh And uh, well you'll 403 00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:33.680 tell you what we'll put we'll pair these two together. 404 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:38.720 It's again, it's not the special MLK day menu story. 405 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:43.079 Like every year, that is a thing where they decide, hey, 406 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.240 let's have a let's have an MLK menu and then 407 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.680 it's fried chicken and collar greens and you know, usually 408 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.400 that kind of stuff and then everyone apologizes and and 409 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.440 almost every I don't think I've seen a story where 410 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:58.039 anyone wasn't just trying to be nice. I don't know 411 00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.960 about this one though. And we don't really have the 412 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:05.599 promoter scene as much. I mean, I know it's around 413 00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.759 in the Try and the Triangle. Anywhere you got people 414 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.920 and you know, concert venues or party places, you're going 415 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:12.720 to see this stuff. 416 00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.359 You know, usually they put together. 417 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:21.960 Very very bright graphic little little cards to hand out 418 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.440 promoting parties, little posters you see. When I was in 419 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.920 southern California, it's craps. Everybody's a damn promoter and they 420 00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.039 do parties. And I have to assume Atlanta's like this too. 421 00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.319 Ross Ross used to live in Atlanta. 422 00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:35.720 Yeah, No, when I worked there was awful. 423 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:36.559 Yeah. 424 00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:39.880 And you've got you've got some experience because doing Top forty, 425 00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.119 you've you've done a bunch of club parties. 426 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:46.119 A bunch. I had a club gig Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Wow, 427 00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:50.079 three hours every night, open bar, early twenties, and I 428 00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:51.920 did it so much of the promoters were like they 429 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.880 tried to get me to work with them, like as 430 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.440 a promoter, They're like, you'd be great at this, And 431 00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.599 I'm like no, I hate this. 432 00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:02.000 Yeah, oh a good promoter, man, they make bank dude. 433 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.039 But it's but I wanted to establish that just because 434 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.799 a venue is doing so now the venue has obligation 435 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.359 go hey, what are we reading you this for? But 436 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.720 there's three parties. There's the you know, there's the venue, 437 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.720 there's the promoters and slash artists if they're doing something 438 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.279 like that, and then there's you know, everybody else, the customer, 439 00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:27.720 so to speak. So initially people saw what I'm going 440 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:31.039 to delicately explain to you be for an event that 441 00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:36.640 was being promoted surrounding MLK Junior also including Rosa Parks, 442 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.559 but a MLK Day event party, and it's it's clearly 443 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:46.440 just a club party popping bottles, you know, people twerking 444 00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:51.319 and and a couple couple hip hop artists, uh three, 445 00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:55.160 they're listed on here and you know, so that's pretty innocuous. 446 00:26:55.240 --> 00:27:00.400 But what they chose to go with, Rossie, you've seen 447 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.960 the Oh that's right, I texted you this morning. You've 448 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.480 seen the flyer. Probably not the one you would have 449 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:09.279 gone with, though, right if. 450 00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.759 Yeah, I know I would have opted for something different, Okay, 451 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:13.519 Like if that was me, if I took that gig 452 00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:15.440 and I'm like, yeah, let's let me be a club promoter. 453 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:17.559 This is now my passion. I would probably went in 454 00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:19.759 a different direction than the flyer. 455 00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:22.599 The name of the event is. 456 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:28.680 Good Lord all right. It's at a restaurant called Mela, 457 00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:31.279 which is a restaurant lounge. 458 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.880 It looks you know, it's a club that also serves food. 459 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.759 During the day. And then you get everybody in their 460 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:42.279 bottle service. They they got hookahs and whatever. And the 461 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:48.519 event is entitled first is MLK Weekend Celebration, So it's actually, uh, 462 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:53.079 tomorrow is the event, and it's entitled he Scared of 463 00:27:53.200 --> 00:28:02.759 the Woman part, the thing, the the hats the other 464 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:08.759 word for cats, okay, And the graphic is a photo 465 00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:16.039 of a dude, you know, in modern day like athletic clothing. 466 00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.079 He's got big gold chains around his neck and he 467 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:25.480 is behind a woman who is splayed out in front 468 00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:30.519 of him wearing modern day tiny lingerie with a giant 469 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:34.000 butt that this guy's behind. Right, you understand what's going on, 470 00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:37.680 and also when you think about the name, that'll give 471 00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.200 you a little insight into what they're indicating is happening there. 472 00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:45.400 And listen, man, they put a torque in Rosa Parks. 473 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.319 I didn't even say that I had that was the 474 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.240 listen and their heads are on the bodies. 475 00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:53.440 MLK is behind Rosa Parks. 476 00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:55.359 Ye, listen. 477 00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.200 I don't want to maybe that. I don't think that's 478 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:01.799 her body, that's all I listen. It's that's Rosa Parks's 479 00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.359 elderly face. Yeah, that went with the old face onto 480 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.920 like a hold up body. Yeah, directly behind her butt 481 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.759 because she's bent over is MLK. I don't think that's 482 00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:16.720 MLK once again with the big gold shot. 483 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:24.400 Okay, I'm trying to read what's on the and the 484 00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:28.559 top of the flyer says scared of the P word yeah, 485 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:31.799 which implies that there's something else. 486 00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.079 Like how does this get made? 487 00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:40.519 And this is the second year because you see the 488 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:45.960 word reloaded god, which is also a pun. They had 489 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.000 the same last year and I guess it just didn't 490 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.880 make it into the news. Well this time it made 491 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:53.920 it into the news. The only upside here, I don't 492 00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:55.720 know that this is an upside, but at least it's 493 00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:58.720 it doesn't twist it in this other thing. I'm pretty 494 00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:02.839 sure everyone from club ownership to promoter to artists are 495 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.039 all black. So there's like it wasn't. Wasn't some white 496 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.160 dude who came up with this, so we don't have 497 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.480 to have that slice of this. But I don't care 498 00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:17.039 holy cow man, because the people who are upset are 499 00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:22.039 are obviously the black community, which I don't blame them. 500 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.920 Now Here's the thing is is that any more offensive 501 00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:31.559 than dipping a crucifix in urine and calling it art? 502 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.400 This comes down to whose ox is getting gored? But 503 00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.079 that just seems like a bad idea all around. So 504 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.559 initially they went after the club. They're like, ah, They're like, 505 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.480 we're going to cancel the club, and the club's like, 506 00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:47.160 there's a promoter he booked with us, which is half correct. 507 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:51.000 But also if I have an if I rent out 508 00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:53.440 space to people, I don't care whether you're you you 509 00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:55.680 have an apartment or a condo that you rent like 510 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.640 an Airbnb thing, or you you have a club and 511 00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:04.359 people you know book it for concerts. You ask, don't 512 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.279 you I know you do? We were Russia? How many 513 00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.400 times have you worked with like Live Nation folks, and 514 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.519 and where every step of the way, everybody's got to 515 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.640 be on the same page on stuff, right for we 516 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.079 have to like we do if we give tickets away 517 00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:22.559 or contest, we have to get it has to go 518 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:25.480 through all of these different people because everyone wants to 519 00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:26.839 make sure everyone's gonna look good. 520 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:29.279 There's so many departments, like the imaging and the graphics 521 00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:31.839 have to be approved, and like the yeah, the way 522 00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:33.920 you're gonna say things, it has to be just right, 523 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.039 m the verbiage, you know, the words that you're gonna say. 524 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:39.920 I've done, I would, I did. I hosted an event 525 00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.880 at kocabooth Amphitheater one time and it had you had 526 00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.559 sponsors attached, and I had a ten minute briefing on 527 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.839 exactly how the sponsors how to mention them. 528 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.319 Oh, they wanted to what orders we're supposed to. 529 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.200 Be in you So if you don't know who the 530 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:58.000 spikes are in uh NYC, they got a little bit 531 00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.720 of an issue. And you've probably seen video. Well I 532 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:02.880 know we've seen video because we talked about that. One time. 533 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.839 A news crew just stood by the turnstiles and one 534 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.319 of the subway stops and just pointed a camera to watch. 535 00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.599 Like every other person either double load behind somebody's pain 536 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.200 or you know, you do the hop right, you put 537 00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.559 your hands on the turnstile and then swing your legs 538 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.640 over like you're a kid going over a fence or 539 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.559 like it's a pomer horse or something, and then you 540 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:26.759 ride for free, or you get your buddy to open 541 00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:28.599 the gate and you pop in a lot of different ways. 542 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:31.440 So but it's a problem. And I remember the number 543 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:34.920 they were saying in NYC that weren't pain and it 544 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:42.680 was a substantial amount, and so they they decided to 545 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.960 do the thing where on the turnstile there's just metal 546 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:48.640 like a metal grate now, and at the top it's 547 00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:51.279 cut into like a spiky pattern. I mean, it's not 548 00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.480 razor sharp or anything, but if you were to put 549 00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:55.960 the palm of your hands on those spikes and lift 550 00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.680 your full body weight, you'd probably injure yourself. And they're like, there, 551 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.720 that'll solve it. And now the news crew went down 552 00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:07.119 and it's everybody who has figured out that, well, if 553 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.720 you just pushed the sides of the spike plates and 554 00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:11.519 don't put your hand on there, you can swing, or 555 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.920 if you have gloves, and then they're just evading all 556 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:17.680 the affairs again. So that's. 557 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.559 That's working out pretty well there, and. 558 00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.279 I'm sure it costs them an absolute crap ton of 559 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.559 money to go ahead and do that. Yeah, man, that's 560 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.839 or see I'm looking at all the different pictures here. Yeah, 561 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:36.920 he's got his hand to the side of the spike plates. 562 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.359 I don't know how to describe it. And then he 563 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:42.240 puts a foot where the reader is because it's kind 564 00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.720 of at an angle. And then I mean it's minimal athleticism. 565 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:49.000 I even me today, I could probably swing myself over then, 566 00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.519 So they stopped literally nothing. Here's a guy who's using 567 00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:56.440 his sleeves to disperse the pressure where his hands are 568 00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:01.640 on the spikes, and that seems to be working. It 569 00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:03.519 probably took him like a year to do it, and 570 00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:07.200 a billion dollars. I don't even see what the price was. 571 00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:12.000 So a good job, you've you've prevented nothing. All right, 572 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:17.039 let's get into this. So yesterday the final press conference 573 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:23.440 for Anthony Blincoln happened. Okay, so the big State Department, 574 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:31.480 bye bye, and it went went poorly, went rather poorly. 575 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:36.559 So you have the credential State Department. There's three big credentialings. 576 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.440 Well there's four, right, there's the Congressional and Senate credentialing. 577 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:42.280 No that that's not really as much the White House 578 00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:46.199 press pool is the top dogs. The Pentagon press pool 579 00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:50.400 is number two in state department, Okay, at number three there. 580 00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.239 So it's it's. 581 00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:56.360 Competitive in how many spaces there are. But you have 582 00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:59.599 to generally, you had to meet certain requirements, be of 583 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.159 a certain size and notoriety to basically be able to 584 00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:08.000 credential in there. And so you have two journalists. You 585 00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:11.719 have Max Blumenthal. I'm sure you've heard the name Blumenthal. 586 00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:14.559 Used to be New York Times or Post. I can't remember. 587 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:18.119 It doesn't matter. He's in there. He's working for grey 588 00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:23.559 Zone News now. And who is the other journalist? Who? Oh, 589 00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:29.039 Hussani Husseini, Sam Husseini, Who's he's substack, but he has 590 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.440 a big distribution and he writes for Atlantic I think 591 00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:36.760 sometimes and various others. All right, So why am I 592 00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.920 pointing these two out? Because here's how it was structured. 593 00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:42.760 So Blincoln was going to say, you know, hey, here's 594 00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:44.599 what I did a Secretary of State. Kumbayia. I was 595 00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.800 a little bit of a victory lap. But it had 596 00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.679 a dual purpose because of what just transpired or what 597 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.199 is transpiring with what's going on in Israel. And so 598 00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.679 as part of it, he was giving his assessment of 599 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:03.679 what they've done, but also laying out the Israel Gaza 600 00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:06.400 where they're at, what's the hostage thing going to look like? 601 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:11.079 What do they and then after that it was gonna 602 00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:16.800 be questions. Pretty standard setup mirrors so many press conferences 603 00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:21.400 I've gone to to cover and everybody knows what's up. However, 604 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:25.360 as soon as Blincoln started getting into what's going on 605 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:29.840 these two reporters I'm making air quotes, starts screaming questions 606 00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:33.599 at him. And at first he's just like, nah, we'll 607 00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:37.840 do questions after. And now they start screaming accusations at him, 608 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.559 and they had to be like physically restrained and moved 609 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:47.639 out of there. Again, they're not to the Q and 610 00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:51.519 A thing yet and they're screaming genocide at him. They're 611 00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:56.559 clearly not engaged in journalism anymore. They are pro hamas 612 00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:00.840 protesters at this point. They're the same lunatics sitting around 613 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.880 banning bagel donations at Columbia University, which will never not 614 00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:10.880 be funny, will never not be If you don't know 615 00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:13.159 what that is, I'll explain it again because I would 616 00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:15.679 want to teat you of this. On the list of 617 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.599 things we need by the student protesters at Columbia University. 618 00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.039 They also had a list of things they don't need. 619 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.199 And some of it's practical, like they're like, oh, we 620 00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:28.079 already have enough water, so maybe get us something else, 621 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:31.239 but it's just randomly floating around on the do not 622 00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.599 donate list. We're bagels, which makes sense if you think 623 00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:39.719 about it, right, they're like, ah, that's too jewish, and 624 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:43.920 it's just it's also so childish. But that's what these 625 00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:47.239 two and they're not young people who's saying. He looks 626 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:50.199 like he's probably in your retirement age. And so he's 627 00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:55.320 sitting there screaming, criminal, criminal, Why aren't you in the Hague? 628 00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:57.960 Why aren't you in the Hague? Why aren't you in 629 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:02.039 the Hague. The other journal lists too, are looking at 630 00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:08.039 him like what are you doing? And then Blumenthal starts screaming, 631 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:11.960 and he goes, why don't you answer? We're a free press. 632 00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.800 So they tried to go that round. They're just a 633 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.920 reporter doing that, whereas every other reporter was listening to 634 00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:19.440 it probably had their own questions, and by the way, 635 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.920 I probably were questions that were very not you know, 636 00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:27.159 very negative, because they're all basically in the bag for this, 637 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:32.239 you know, this anti Israel kick in the way that 638 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.119 you see these stories emulate. And but no, they couldn't 639 00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.960 even wait and they're screaming at blinking Weich, don't get 640 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:41.559 me wrong, and a love for Anthony blinkn running around. 641 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.880 We made it one of his state ad missions to 642 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.519 essentially promote and then you know, insane social justice stuff 643 00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:54.679 worldwide and then get money funded to it. You know, nobody, 644 00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.119 You have no idea how many woke NGOs have your 645 00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.239 money to run around in foreign countries and try to 646 00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:05.559 woke it up. Like in the same way that we 647 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.239 felt it was our job to spread democracy, this administration 648 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:14.239 thinks it's their job to spread wocism, which I think 649 00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.760 the voters uh weighed in on that back in November. 650 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:19.679 So we'll see how that goes. Do you know the 651 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.079 FBI shut down their DEI office already. 652 00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:25.440 I wonder why that is. 653 00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:32.320 Weird? I why you shut it down? You think they 654 00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:36.280 retained all records? That all thing's a mess. 655 00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.039 No, dude, I heard that we both had the same idea, 656 00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:40.840 So I read that yesterday. I'm like, dude, that paper 657 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.679 shredder was like an old time. 658 00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, all there's twenty dudes in a room 659 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.039 right now, just sweating on their an eighth cup of coffee. 660 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.760 Just like that scene in the firm right where Tom 661 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:54.639 Cruise looks to the door that what's going on in there? 662 00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.519 Like nothing? Nothing is having a shred night. Nothing to 663 00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:04.480 see here? Crazy, But uh, these two should never be 664 00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:05.400 credentialed again. 665 00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:07.119 Am I wrong? 666 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:07.400 Here? 667 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.440 I have to think a death sentence for your ability 668 00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:12.800 to get credentialed in Washington or anywhere if that matter, 669 00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:14.440 but definitely in Washington, definitely. 670 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:15.639 One of these high level. 671 00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:19.599 Is when you when you've decided you're no longer a 672 00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.960 journalist and you're an activist. And who's in he as 673 00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:26.559 an activist? It's not even close. Bloomenthal is he is 674 00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.199 an activist? I don't I never got to read he 675 00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.880 was as committed. But he is a giant moonbat. And 676 00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:35.559 you can't in the middle of press conference turn into 677 00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:39.280 one of these protesters that glues yourself to stuff. So 678 00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:43.079 what's crazy is both of them should never be credentialed 679 00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:47.880 again ever, and that the first the first thing that 680 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:50.840 Trump's State Department's got to do is revoke those I 681 00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:53.599 don't know what the what the Biden State Department's done. 682 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.440 But you can't do that. You're not journalists trying to 683 00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:02.400 get an answer. You're you're you're this performative stuff. Do 684 00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:04.320 you remember when and oh yeah, it was our old 685 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:06.760 boy jimmy College, Remember when Jim Acosta wouldn't give the 686 00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:10.280 microphone back And that was a whole that whole event, 687 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:15.239 just the just the smugness of it. But no, you're 688 00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:17.280 gonna wig out and have to get drug out like 689 00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:21.360 somebody getting extracted from a plane by by a. 690 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:22.239 Team of security. 691 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.760 And this I saw people were comparing it to what 692 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:28.880 happened to that senator down in Georgia we talked about. No, 693 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:33.440 these are remarkably different things. One of the first, the 694 00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:38.199 senator is an elected official who is mandated by his 695 00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:41.440 oath of office to attend these events. 696 00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:43.039 So that's one thing. 697 00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:45.679 This is a reporter who if he stays in his 698 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:50.239 lane and does reporting, not only will get questions and 699 00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:53.239 even can yell over his colleagues if he wants, But 700 00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:56.079 you don't get to disrupt the whole thing. And and 701 00:41:56.119 --> 00:41:58.440 now you're not he's not even asking questions anymore. He's 702 00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.920 just screaming genocide, and and you should go to the 703 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:09.719 Hagen stuff. Uh and uh I I don't. I've scanned 704 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:11.719 like three stories this morn. I have not seen where 705 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.360 they've they've said that they're pulling the uh you know, 706 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:17.679 in a normal world, their outlets. 707 00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:20.679 Well, Hussein, he's independent, but Blumenthal's. 708 00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:24.480 Outlet would fire him because the you penalize the outlet 709 00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:30.639 too if they don't. It was a really really bad look. 710 00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:36.599 And uh, I I expect because we saw examples with Trump, 711 00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:38.760 it'll be handled a little differently should it break out. 712 00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:41.320 All right, coming up on the show, I mentioned the 713 00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:43.760 Washington Post there will get a little update on one 714 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:44.480 of their employees. 715 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:44.960 Mm hmm. 716 00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:48.000 And wait till you hear what the city of la 717 00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:53.960 is doing. They just can't help themselves. And we'll even 718 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:56.760 hear from Jim Acosta and Pete Callender at eight oh 719 00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:59.760 five he'll come up, so lots to get to hang on. Well, 720 00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.159 we'll well, what would you think is not worth your time? 721 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:06.880 Not a good idea? Gun stores? Right, that's probably I mean, 722 00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:09.159 that's probably very lucrative if you can get through there. 723 00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:11.719 But I don't think I've ever been in a gun 724 00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:14.880 store where an employee, or for that matter of customer 725 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:18.480 didn't literally have a gun at the ready, and there's 726 00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:21.119 a lot of ideos of people coming in and getting 727 00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:24.639 just blasted. Man, but that'd be up there. How about 728 00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:29.480 this one? How about a VFW post? You didn't it'd 729 00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.400 be a good idea to rob a VFW post. Obviously 730 00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:35.000 there's probably not gonna be as much money readily available 731 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.960 to you. And there's the part where it's a VFW 732 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:46.480 But that didn't stop two cretens up in come on Massachusetts. 733 00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:51.519 What is the name of the stupid town bill Billy Rica, Billerry, 734 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.800 I don't care. I don't even know where it is 735 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:58.320 in Massachusetts. But anyway, two people decided they were going 736 00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:02.920 to go rob the Bill Bill Rica VFW post. 737 00:44:03.159 --> 00:44:06.960 And actually I will say this, they went in there 738 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:07.719 and they were. 739 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:10.239 Able to, like the two of them, haul a safe 740 00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:13.599 out of there. But here's where the story gets crazy. 741 00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:19.800 They get the safe out and obviously the police didn't 742 00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:22.639 get involved, and they're looking for him, and then randomly, 743 00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:27.079 not the police, but rather some of the VFW guys, 744 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.559 one of which I had a tow truck with the 745 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:33.239 safe literally loaded on it and brought it back and 746 00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:34.960 then police had to go figure out how they got 747 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.840 their safe back. There's a lot more to this story. 748 00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:46.559 And then I guess the police ended up finding the two. Yeah, 749 00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:48.840 they did arrest They did eventually arrest them with whatever 750 00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:52.639 information some of the VFW members provided. You know, who 751 00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.360 thought that was a good idea? Who thought going into 752 00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:02.239 a building that you know, is going to be at 753 00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:06.119 the very least filled with people have had basic training, 754 00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:09.719 let alone the types of folks that tend to hang 755 00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:14.519 out at a VFW right generally, generally in the VFW, 756 00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:19.840 the types of folks there because you know, I, you know, I, uh, 757 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.519 every I had a lot of military service in my 758 00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:27.400 family and so, you know, including grandfather and two of 759 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.679 my uncles and cousins and all the rest. I spent 760 00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:32.559 some time at a VFW. Especially if you live in 761 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:34.559 a small town. The VFW is a hub for a 762 00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.280 lot of stuff. I've been too, multiple weddings at the 763 00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:41.480 VFW and where I grew up a lot of things. Generally, 764 00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:44.599 that seems like the it seems like the group who's 765 00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.079 not going to sit there and put up with it. 766 00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:49.559 The fact that these idiots got their safe left and 767 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:54.719 somehow got the safe back, and then police had to 768 00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.239 code to them to find the suspects. I want to 769 00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:02.320 know the condition the suspects are in, because if the 770 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.320 the other thing is you get a lot of retired 771 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.440 guys here in the VFW and they're like, I don't 772 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.239 got anything to do. Hey, you guys want to use 773 00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:11.280 our training to go track down these idiots get our 774 00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:17.280 stuff back. Well they did so good on them. All right. 775 00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:20.239 It's a little weird, weird story I saw there, but 776 00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:25.199 I love it absolutely all right, let me uh, I 777 00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:27.440 promise him, Jim Acosta audio, but I want to play 778 00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:28.840 the whole thing for you, and I'm gonna need a 779 00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:32.800 little more time. Yeah. Oh wait, Oh we have Austin 780 00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:36.280 Paul here, all right, well maybe he was in on it, Yes, 781 00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:37.440 Boston Paul.

It was let's see twelve 804 00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:33.000 thirty yesterday afternoon. So there's that the toddler had been 805 00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:36.920 under the care of a babysitter, that the family had hired. 806 00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:44.719 The babysitter. Oh lord, she's on one of these babysitting 807 00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:47.480 sites mom trusted. Oh she has a good rating too. 808 00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:56.199 She's thirty years old, elementary education degree, but I guess 809 00:47:56.199 --> 00:47:58.360 she has her own or she's pursuing an RN So 810 00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:01.519 now she's babysitting. So what happened? Well, police find this 811 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:03.119 toddler and like, what the hell's go is there a 812 00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:05.559 toddler roaming around? They figure out where the toddler lives 813 00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.880 to go to the house. The babysitter is almost dead, 814 00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:14.280 not from a home invasion. She got into the family's 815 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.119 booze stash and drank herself to the point she had 816 00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:19.960 to have her stomach pumped. So obviously at that point 817 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:24.119 she to nighted. Looking after the toddler. Yeah, she almost died 818 00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:26.960 because she consumed so much alcohol. In fact, it was 819 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:31.719 the toddler probably walking around and then subsequent police coming 820 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:33.320 to figure out where the kid lives and coming to 821 00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:38.079 the house that probably saved her. Okay, now I'll try 822 00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:40.400 her profile. She was thirty, she's thirty five. Now she's 823 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:45.400 been doing that for a while. Then that's scary stuff too, 824 00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:51.360 because it sounds like the family, Yeah, they had not 825 00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:56.440 used her before you people? Is that a thing? I guess. 826 00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:57.400 I don't have kids. 827 00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:58.320 I don't know how it works. 828 00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:01.039 I don't I don't When I was a kid, I 829 00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:03.760 don't remember all of our babysitters. But I don't think 830 00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:08.440 I remember any babysitter that wasn't known to my family. 831 00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:12.239 Do you We had a couple, we had a couple 832 00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:16.599 that were family friends, like the older daughters that were 833 00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:22.559 a primary, But I don't remember any babysitters that weren't 834 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.320 in like where they didn't know them before you left 835 00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:27.360 your kids? Is that a thing that you do now? 836 00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:28.840 If you go on a. 837 00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:31.800 Website and there's a good enough star rating, you're comfortable 838 00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:34.840 enough leaving your kids with them. I'm just asking. I 839 00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:36.840 don't know and I don't have kids, and I could 840 00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:38.480 criticize how you do stuff, but that. 841 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:39.639 Just seems insane to me. 842 00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:45.440 Like it'd be one thing if you had a very 843 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.000 trusted family friend and their babysitter who maybe you didn't know, 844 00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.719 but you've known your friend thirty years and the babysitters 845 00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:56.519 worked for them for five years, and maybe you take 846 00:49:56.519 --> 00:50:00.079 a leap there. But hiring off the internet feels like 847 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:04.519 like buying drugs on where the all the stuff's misspelled. 848 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:06.719 Just the roll of the dice. 849 00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:10.079 But also it seems like a very efficient way for 850 00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.360 people who want to be caregivers. And I'm sure most 851 00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:16.920 of them are, you know, fine with your kids. But 852 00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:19.119 she's like, I'm in the Jersey Shore, I'm gonna I'm 853 00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:23.400 gonna party up, and you pay a membership fee to 854 00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:26.119 use the website. Well, that sounds like that website is 855 00:50:26.119 --> 00:50:33.360 gonna have themselves a problem. Nanny Nanny Laine issued a 856 00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:35.480 statement said we're very happy to hear the toddler is 857 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:38.800 safe and the okay, so it was a neighbor, was 858 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:40.239 the because I was trying to figure out because the 859 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:42.440 toddler couldn't say where they lived. I guess a neighbor 860 00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:44.559 saw the police went over and was like, oh, that's 861 00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:48.400 the kid from there. Okay, yeah, they had tried the 862 00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:54.280 site for three days, so they didn't they din't't have 863 00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:56.159 trust in the site. They sign up for the site. 864 00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:59.079 Three days later they a complete stranger comes over like, here, 865 00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:01.920 watch our kids, and she almost died and your kid 866 00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:06.440 almost died. Oh yeah, there's a lawsuit coming there. Man, 867 00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:08.599 Holy cow. All right, let me get to the gym 868 00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:13.639 Acosta audio. All right, what is this? Some people said, 869 00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.079 I've used care dot com to find it, so I'm 870 00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:19.159 just asking again, I don't know, and I also don't 871 00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:22.039 know what those sites promise you from a vetting perspective. 872 00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:24.920 And then also you have to trust that the site's 873 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:26.400 going to do it. So do you vet the site 874 00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:30.840 to make sure they're telling the truth. That's the part 875 00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:34.000 where it just seems seems a little strange to me. 876 00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:39.480 But because I can't you know, obviously, I can't remember 877 00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:41.679 when I was young, young, but I don't remember any 878 00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:46.800 babysitter that wasn't well known to my family ever. Ever, 879 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:50.519 I remember that I felt bad for them. Oh we 880 00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:54.280 were a little rambunctious, but they handled it, so whatever, 881 00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:56.760 all right. Let me get over to the Jim Acosta stuff. 882 00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:02.119 So I'm not a fan of and you see it 883 00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:04.920 mostly with sports, but a lot of politics stuff. I 884 00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:08.639 hate going click in a video where somebody's up at 885 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:10.559 a podium speaking, So it could be like a coach 886 00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:13.199 in a post game, or it could be Anthony Blincoln, 887 00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.159 or could be Joe Biden. It doesn't matter. And I 888 00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:19.239 click on it assuming I'm gonna hear whatever it is 889 00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.199 they're saying, because they haven't disclosed it, and it's just 890 00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:25.199 somebody with this with an Ai dub who's a poor writer. 891 00:52:25.639 --> 00:52:28.000 It's half the time, it's never even fine. It's clearly 892 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:32.119 not real. I clicked on this Acosta video and there 893 00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:34.400 was a part of me. I'm so untrusting now that 894 00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:36.719 there's a part of me the whole time until he 895 00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:42.519 pulls the stupid sign out where I'm like, is this real? 896 00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:51.719 Is it? Because yeah, the guy's an ego maniac, but really, really, okay, 897 00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:56.960 it's clearly it is clearly delusional. What you're gonna hear 898 00:52:56.960 --> 00:53:00.920 a Costa say, I'm gonna play right here talking about 899 00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:04.440 how the media is the lifeblood of America and they're 900 00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:06.800 great and we're here and here's proof. 901 00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:08.719 Listen to this stupidity. 902 00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:10.360 I want to take a moment to talk about something 903 00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:14.000 President Biden said during his farewell address. He warned, the 904 00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:17.320 free press is crumbling in this country. I would add 905 00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:20.800 that's only if we, the people, let that happen. Journalists 906 00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:23.480 exist to seek the truth, to tell people's stories, to 907 00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:27.000 lift up voices that may not be heard otherwise, to 908 00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:30.480 shine a light on injustice, and to hold the powerful accountable. 909 00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:33.039 We are not the enemy of the people. We are 910 00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:36.599 the defenders of the people. Walter Cronkite once said, freedom 911 00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:39.440 of the press is not just important to democracy, it 912 00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.320 is democracy. I want to take a moment to show 913 00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:45.079 you something. A woman sent me this sign eight years ago. 914 00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:48.159 She carried it here at a march in Washington. She 915 00:53:48.199 --> 00:53:50.519 wrote on the back of the sign to me and 916 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:54.000 the press here in DC, you have our support to 917 00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:55.480 Nora wherever you are. 918 00:53:56.480 --> 00:54:00.960 Right back at you, Oh yeah, we're We're not We're 919 00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:03.599 not there. We're the defenders of the people. Well, clearly 920 00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:06.960 the people haven't got the memo, and less and less 921 00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:10.079 of them actually believe that, and especially with you, sir, 922 00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:14.800 and you are no Walter Cronkite, how's that to quote 923 00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:20.119 another quote that is usable here and then this science 924 00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:22.639 so right, you think it's a legit sign. I'm so cynical. 925 00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:25.400 I think he had his daughter make it put some 926 00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:30.000 glitter on there, even if it is, because yeah, I 927 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:33.199 did see some of those marches. Who the hell knows? Man, 928 00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:37.599 holy is? What is Jamal hate date night? Hold on, 929 00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:38.360 let's check this out. 930 00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:39.480 Yeah, Jamal, what's up? 931 00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:45.599 Well, just real quick, the press is the defenders of democracy, 932 00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:50.000 the podcasts are defenders of the republic. But Kingsey, well, 933 00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:53.800 my kids were children. I never had a babysitter. I'm 934 00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:58.239 one of those parents, Kasey that was always scared that 935 00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:01.599 something may happen like that when it comes to the 936 00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:05.199 drunk babysitter. The only people that have ever watched my 937 00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:10.039 children is their grand their grandmother, my wife's mother, and 938 00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:12.880 my wife's father because both of my parents passed away. 939 00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:16.760 So that was the only people who ever watch my children. 940 00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:22.440 Other than that. Of course, you know daycare, well Christian 941 00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:24.760 Daytare we send them to you know, we pick them 942 00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:25.480 up after work. 943 00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:27.880 But okay with my on the culture and says, you've 944 00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:30.880 never had your children, never had a babysitter, So that's a. 945 00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:33.679 You know, I've never had a babysitter. I've never had 946 00:55:33.679 --> 00:55:34.639 a babysitter never. 947 00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:38.639 Well, yes you have. There were relatives and daycare. So 948 00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:41.239 I thought you were so. I thought you were like 949 00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:43.639 never never so, And it's fine. I'm not criticizing you 950 00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:46.400 for it, but I mean, just don't know them. They 951 00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:47.679 don't count as a babysitter. 952 00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:51.599 No, their family, they don't count as babysitting. Your grandmother, 953 00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:55.360 your grandmother, and your granddaddy do not count as babysitters. 954 00:55:55.400 --> 00:55:57.519 And of course the school, because I want to make 955 00:55:57.559 --> 00:55:59.880 sure I say this because if you' somebody hear me 956 00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:03.159 say it, doesn't tell my wife. My wife will email 957 00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:08.960 me immediately. I'm not saying teachers are babysitters. No, Ma, 958 00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:12.880 daycare there not babysitters. They are there to educate and 959 00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.559 teach and stuff like that.

The toddler's out wandering 982 00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:23.440 around in the cold. The babysitter got in the liquor 983 00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:27.840 cabinet and was put herself in critical condition drinking so much. 984 00:57:28.199 --> 00:57:31.440 Oh wow, And only the finding the toddler were they 985 00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:33.800 able to find hersh but I would have died. And 986 00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:35.760 it's like the family had never met her. They went 987 00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:37.800 on a website and just say all right, here's our kid, 988 00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:41.360 and then left and I don't know, it seems crazy 989 00:57:41.400 --> 00:57:44.440 to me, but anyway, all right, sorry to drag you 990 00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:47.440 into that, sir, no proper for other purposes, So ruin 991 00:57:47.599 --> 00:57:49.440 everybody's travel plans go. 992 00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:52.159 Yes, Well, we've got some some wet weather that's going 993 00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:54.400 to head in this weekend and then turning really cold 994 00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:56.760 as we look towards the early part of next week, 995 00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:59.760 and the possibility for some winter precipitation as we head 996 00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.920 toward the middle of next week. So sunshine today, temperatures 997 00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:04.880 into low part of the fifties. Clouds will roll in 998 00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:07.119 here tonight load to bit thirties.

We'll we'll do a little contest 1015 00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:51.159 kind of other thing.

Okay, we'll do it next hang on, that's 1018 00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:00.199 my confirmation. We got a lot to get into with 1019 00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:04.199 with him. That'll that'll be at eight oh five. All right, 1020 00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:08.119 well we got two stories. Let's pretend we only got 1021 00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:10.440 one wood chipper and see who gets it, shall we? 1022 00:59:10.719 --> 00:59:15.719 All right, let me start here. Washington Post pullets are 1023 00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:22.559 prize winning cartoonists and obviously a seething moonbat TDS sufferer. 1024 00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:29.719 Was arrested Darren Bell and he is where's he lives? 1025 00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:33.920 He lives in Sacramento. And they they went in full 1026 00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:38.440 like full kit and arrest of this dude over eight 1027 00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:41.280 over What did he have? Okay? So what triggered it 1028 00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:46.000 is somebody uploaded eighteen files of child porn, child sexual abuse. 1029 00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:50.199 They ended up busting him allegedly. This is what the 1030 00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:55.199 arrest report says, with one hundred and thirty four videos 1031 00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:59.840 like tens of thousands of folk, I mean of just awful, awful, 1032 01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:03.599 fully sharing this stuff is what they're saying online, all right. 1033 01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:09.360 And it's ironic because Bell there's several of his cartoons 1034 01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:15.840 where he was literally tackling like groomer stuff, and you know, 1035 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.679 the Nazism of Republicans calling people groomers, and you know, 1036 01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:24.239 it's it is really weird how so many times we 1037 01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:29.480 find ourselves going the loudest critics of people being critical 1038 01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:32.760 are telling on themselves, and then the story turns out. 1039 01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:36.320 To be true. We don't know yet. Here, these are 1040 01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:37.880 just alleged. The arrest was made. 1041 01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:41.480 They hold them on a million dollars bail though, and 1042 01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:45.599 remember he was arrested in California. Also, they say that 1043 01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:50.599 he was using an AI child porn generator. So that's 1044 01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:56.760 that's a new thing that's now in my memory as existing. 1045 01:00:56.880 --> 01:01:03.519 So that's awful. So so that's contestant number one. Contestant 1046 01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:07.360 number one contestant number two in a moment, let me 1047 01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:09.800 grab a quick phone call Hannah, what's going on? 1048 01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:15.639 Hey, Casey Salla's calling because I'm a pediatric PA and 1049 01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:18.519 I see new parents all the time who just needs 1050 01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:20.760 all kinds of new parent advice. And one of the 1051 01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:23.760 biggest things I tell them is like, do not use websites. 1052 01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:29.119 Do not use Facebook pages to find a babysitter. Don't 1053 01:01:29.119 --> 01:01:31.760 post I need a babysitter. Don't get anything. This is crazy. 1054 01:01:32.760 --> 01:01:34.880 You can't bet people like that, you have no just 1055 01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:37.239 because they have a background check just can mean nothing. 1056 01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:39.719 It means they haven't been caught. I mean, it's just terrible. 1057 01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:42.639 I've had two, like in the past five years to 1058 01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:47.079 molest station cases from the in home daycare where it's 1059 01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:49.559 you know, Susie from church is watching them. But you 1060 01:01:49.559 --> 01:01:52.239 can't control nephew or grandson that comes in and out 1061 01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:52.800 of the house. 1062 01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:55.599 All the time. I mean, but you know that, and 1063 01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:57.920 I know you know this, but you know the the 1064 01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.719 idea that somebody's good, if somebody's gonna mess with the. 1065 01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:02.920 Kid, there's a huge chunk of. 1066 01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:05.760 That that's coming from inside the family right where you 1067 01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:09.519 see these cases. So you're never going to be one 1068 01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:12.480 hundred percent, but at least you got to on those folks, right, 1069 01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:14.880 you gotta beat us. And I feel bad for people 1070 01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:17.159 who literally just want to care for kids and are 1071 01:02:17.159 --> 01:02:19.199 good at it and trying to expand what they're doing 1072 01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:22.960 because and this this creeps it out. All right, Well 1073 01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:25.480 that's uh, I'm sorry, but that's that's part of your 1074 01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:26.880 gig and I hate that you have to see it. 1075 01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:28.800 But yeah, this whole thing seemed weird to me, and 1076 01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:35.920 I appreciate you calling in there. Oof, there's no there's 1077 01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:38.119 no winners in any of these stories. All right, here 1078 01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:40.000 is contestant number two for the chip. 1079 01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:40.559 Are you ready? 1080 01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:46.639 An Australian social media influencer has been arrested and charged 1081 01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:51.320 by police after she was drugging her top. I guess 1082 01:02:51.320 --> 01:02:56.119 he's one, the one, Yeah, he's one. She's drugging her 1083 01:02:56.159 --> 01:02:59.519 own one year old. She to make videos and uh 1084 01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:02.400 part some of the videos look like early on like 1085 01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:04.719 she's trying to do the David at the dentist, But like, 1086 01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:07.800 what's a one year old saying? But these are prescription 1087 01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:13.360 drugs that she's misusing. She's using essentially her anxiety medication 1088 01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:15.920 and you know the stuff they give you if you're 1089 01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:18.559 afraid of flying and drugging her kid with it. But 1090 01:03:18.719 --> 01:03:23.800 then she spun it allegedly into her kids having health problems. 1091 01:03:24.199 --> 01:03:24.599 It's a. 1092 01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:28.880 What's the what's the thing. 1093 01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:32.400 Where you where you make your kids sick? Right, so 1094 01:03:32.639 --> 01:03:36.800 you can get the attention that goes Yeah, Munchausen by proxy. 1095 01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:40.599 It feels a lot like that. And so then she 1096 01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:44.079 would make these weepy videos about how she's a single mom. 1097 01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:46.440 She's just trying to raise this kid who's got all 1098 01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:48.679 these medical concerns, and when she sticks on the camera, 1099 01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:51.000 the kid looks like he's off, but it's because he's 1100 01:03:51.000 --> 01:03:55.960 on all this medication. So I know, I don't know 1101 01:03:56.000 --> 01:03:59.119 who gets the wood chipper there, man, somebody would drug 1102 01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:02.760 their own one old for internet clout and you know, 1103 01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:04.840 could have killed him very easily, could have killed him, 1104 01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:12.159 or the dude with the AI child porn generator, or 1105 01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:16.920 maybe we just need to buy more woodshippers. I don't know, man. Uh. 1106 01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:21.159 She's charged with five counts of administering poison. I don't 1107 01:04:21.159 --> 01:04:24.880 know how that stacks up in Australia, but they did. 1108 01:04:25.159 --> 01:04:27.320 They did hit her with a with like a top 1109 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.079 charge of torture. You know what good I did the 1110 01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:32.639 math and the math doesn't math. The math I'm referring 1111 01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:35.000 to would be the number of minutes and or hours 1112 01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.920 necessary for our next guest, Pete Callander and I to 1113 01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:42.639 thoroughly go through the absolute slog that has been the 1114 01:04:42.719 --> 01:04:46.920 last week.

So I've got 1153 01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:35.320 that open during the show in case for some reason 1154 01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:39.480 I come across something that I slapped into the Google document. 1155 01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:41.519 But that, like my Google document is now I think 1156 01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:45.519 thirty eight pages long of just prep links that I 1157 01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:49.079 don't ever get to because drinking from a fire. 1158 01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:52.599 Hose, Yeah, that's exactly it. But there are predictive things 1159 01:06:52.599 --> 01:06:54.400 in this business. And now I want to point out 1160 01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:57.119 that Pete and I have not coordinated this conversation. I 1161 01:06:57.199 --> 01:06:59.679 intentionally didn't do it, but I think that Pete will 1162 01:06:59.679 --> 01:07:02.440 know exactly the answers to these questions. And when I 1163 01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:05.480 talk about predictive events, if you've been doing this as 1164 01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:07.679 long as you and I have been doing this, you 1165 01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:11.039 know that when you hit certain milestones. 1166 01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:13.039 Dates of the year, holidays. 1167 01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:16.559 Weekends, specific things, that there is a type of story 1168 01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.719 that you're just kind of waiting for. Okay, it's kind 1169 01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:22.840 of you just you know, it's you know it's coming, like. 1170 01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:25.559 Fourth or tween. Somebody somebody's losing there. 1171 01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:27.840 I was just going to say, how okay, So, and 1172 01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:30.440 again we have not coordinated this. What is the story 1173 01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:33.480 around Halloween that you and I both know will eventually 1174 01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:36.039 emerge on a college campus somewhere. 1175 01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:39.679 What is it right somebody will have dressed in a 1176 01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:43.880 culturally insensitive manner and outrage will ensue. 1177 01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:49.880 Correct, absolutely one percent. What is the story that during 1178 01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:55.039 it could be either as early as MLK holiday, but 1179 01:07:55.559 --> 01:07:59.159 will have absolutely transpired at some point by the end 1180 01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:03.920 of February. What is that story every year on the 1181 01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:07.920 food front that we know is going to happen on 1182 01:08:08.039 --> 01:08:12.960 the food front, Yes, yes, yes, yes, m OK or 1183 01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:16.640 Black History Month a food oh yeah, story that will 1184 01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:17.439 happen every year. 1185 01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:21.720 Well, I mean there's going to be something involving, you know, 1186 01:08:22.239 --> 01:08:29.800 inappropriate use of iconic figures and maybe insensitive events that. 1187 01:08:29.920 --> 01:08:31.760 Command the mark. 1188 01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:36.760 You're getting swayed because the one story we have, which no, no, no, 1189 01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:40.560 there will inevitably be a story of a restaurant or 1190 01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:43.960 a cafeteria that decides to do an m l oh. 1191 01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:48.359 Yeah yeah, yeah right, and they'll sell collared greens or something. Right, Yeah, 1192 01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:51.439 They'll have a they'll have a menu that has culturally 1193 01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:54.840 insensitive food on it, and outrage will ensue. 1194 01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:57.399 Well, in most cases too, the foods is good, and 1195 01:08:57.600 --> 01:09:00.359 in most of those stories, there's not. They were doing 1196 01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:03.680 it to be mean, like there, right they they literally 1197 01:09:03.680 --> 01:09:06.039 were trying to do it too, and it just it 1198 01:09:06.079 --> 01:09:09.199 blew up. This year we went in a different direction 1199 01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:13.359 down in Atlanta. I did not see this one referencing 1200 01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:16.479 you didn't this I poisoned you a little with it 1201 01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:19.279 because this is I didn't expect to see this one. 1202 01:09:19.359 --> 01:09:22.960 So if you miss a part of the show in Atlanta, 1203 01:09:23.119 --> 01:09:27.279 a promoter who had partnered with a venue was promoting 1204 01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:30.279 a party which I can't read the name of, but 1205 01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:32.800 the you know the bill, the little flyer for it 1206 01:09:32.920 --> 01:09:38.319 has a a a modern in modern clothing, right. It 1207 01:09:38.359 --> 01:09:41.600 has a dude with like athletic clothes and big gold 1208 01:09:41.720 --> 01:09:45.119 chains who is right behind a woman who's bent over 1209 01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:48.640 a table. Clearly you know what's going on. She's wearing 1210 01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:54.600 a little nothing, basically little long and the name of 1211 01:09:54.680 --> 01:09:59.520 it implies that that he they're they're using an alternative 1212 01:10:00.399 --> 01:10:04.560 in that. And the heads of the figures are rows 1213 01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:08.319 of old rosa parks from when she's getting the Congressional 1214 01:10:08.359 --> 01:10:11.279 Medal of Honor the Presidential Medal of Honor, or not 1215 01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:14.640 medal of honor, what's the Medal of Freedom. That's the 1216 01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:17.520 photo from her on stage getting it. And it's that 1217 01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:20.000 on the on the woman's body and MLK and the 1218 01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:24.399 man's body. And they said, and it's the second year 1219 01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:28.479 they've done this party, right, what's going on? 1220 01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:32.000 So it's so then the name of the event, but 1221 01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:35.720 I'll help you out with this one. Is he scared 1222 01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:39.399 of the cat the kitty? 1223 01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:40.840 Yes, yes, yes, yes, right. 1224 01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:50.279 Reloaded so yeah obviously right, yes m LK weekend celebration. 1225 01:10:50.760 --> 01:10:51.960 Uh. 1226 01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:55.720 And it's at some Ethiopian restaurant, which they look just 1227 01:10:55.800 --> 01:10:59.239 as an aside. They've come a long way, I would say, 1228 01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:01.800 because when I was a kid, you would not ever 1229 01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:05.840 expect to see an Ethiopian restaurant. I'm just saying due 1230 01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:08.319 to the current events at the time, I feel like 1231 01:11:09.439 --> 01:11:14.640 famine and yes, so the idea, yeah yeah, yeah, so 1232 01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:16.920 the idea now, I mean, and I think it is 1233 01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:20.600 very important that we honor progress where it occurs, because 1234 01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:24.600 so many times in our political culture and in our 1235 01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:28.319 society kind of at large, we never stop and recognize 1236 01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:33.199 the progress that we have made. Particularly it's bad among progressives, 1237 01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:37.479 ironically enough, they never think that we've actually progressed. And 1238 01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:39.800 so I think it's important to note that that here 1239 01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:44.119 they are now with restaurants in America, right, God bless America. 1240 01:11:44.199 --> 01:11:46.720 So there's that. Now. The other thing here is that 1241 01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:50.840 I like, I'm not sure who is in charge of this, 1242 01:11:50.960 --> 01:11:53.079 like the restaurants as I understand it, has come out 1243 01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:55.560 and said like we didn't do anything about this, like 1244 01:11:55.840 --> 01:11:58.039 we just like both. 1245 01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:00.840 And to have a party. You and I have worked 1246 01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:04.600 in radio enough and and we're we have promoters, and 1247 01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:08.560 we have a vent whether it's spoke and the amount 1248 01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:13.399 of bureaucracy for us to do like a show, you 1249 01:12:13.399 --> 01:12:17.359 know with a guess maybe we d PAK or something like. Yeah, 1250 01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:20.199 everybody kind of knows what's going on. I don't think 1251 01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:23.880 the restaurant's off the hook, even if they didn't plan it, because. 1252 01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:25.399 No, I'm not saying completely. 1253 01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:28.920 Right. I'm not saying they're completely off the hook. I 1254 01:12:28.960 --> 01:12:31.359 don't know what the branding was like last year. Maybe 1255 01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:34.199 this year is different or something. But also, if this 1256 01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:37.279 isn't Ethiopian restaurant, I am assuming that the owners are 1257 01:12:37.319 --> 01:12:39.760 in fact Ethiopian. I know that's a big assumption, but 1258 01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:42.399 I'm just going to assume that they may not actually 1259 01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:45.920 And so think about think about like somebody coming from 1260 01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:48.920 another country, they arrive in America, they set up a 1261 01:12:48.960 --> 01:12:52.880 restaurant in Atlanta, I assume, or a restaurant and club 1262 01:12:52.960 --> 01:12:56.680 I guess, so they are catering to a clientele, right, 1263 01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:01.479 think about when they are presented with this poster that 1264 01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:05.439 they are not sort of steeped in the cultural ways 1265 01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:09.479 of America of the last you know, thirty forty years 1266 01:13:09.560 --> 01:13:12.319 or so, so all they know is what they have 1267 01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:15.760 recently been exposed to culturally. So when they look at 1268 01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:20.680 a poster of this sort, they don't see anything wrong 1269 01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:23.319 with it. They don't see something And again this is 1270 01:13:23.359 --> 01:13:25.119 not a defense to anybody that it is. 1271 01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:29.720 This is, but you're in culture minutes, if you're in 1272 01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:33.199 Atlanta for five minutes, you're gonna hear about mk no. 1273 01:13:33.239 --> 01:13:37.720 I agree, yeah, yeah, yeah, down there, yes, absolutely, no, absolutely. 1274 01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:41.159 But the idea though that this isn't sort of in 1275 01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:45.760 line with the cultural norms, I think that might be 1276 01:13:45.800 --> 01:13:48.920 a bit too much to ask somebody who's not from America, 1277 01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:52.359 and they just they're exposed to the current cultural norm 1278 01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:57.720 where this kind of imagery is. It's pretty normal. Not 1279 01:13:57.800 --> 01:14:00.479 with the faces on the bodies obviously, but like this 1280 01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:03.720 kind of use of the body and the selling of 1281 01:14:03.880 --> 01:14:06.199 sex and promiscuity and all. 1282 01:14:06.119 --> 01:14:09.720 Of that rightsolutely right. 1283 01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:13.319 So they get presented with this this poster, even if 1284 01:14:13.359 --> 01:14:16.399 they knew who Rosa Parks was by you know, by 1285 01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:19.600 the photo identification, right, So let's assume that they knew 1286 01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:22.560 that that was Rosa Parks. Think about it, that they 1287 01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:26.079 are in this current culture and they would not recognize 1288 01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:31.000 that this is egregious, right, That to me is an 1289 01:14:31.039 --> 01:14:34.159 indictment if true. Again, I gotta keep saying, I don't 1290 01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:37.000 know who the owners are, you know, what they knew, 1291 01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:39.840 what their body of knowledge was about these uh, these 1292 01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:44.560 historical figures. But if they were unaware and of who 1293 01:14:44.600 --> 01:14:46.960 these people are, or even if they knew who they are, 1294 01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:51.159 but they think that this is acceptable because of what 1295 01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:54.399 they see all around them all the time currently, that's 1296 01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:55.079 an indictment. 1297 01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:59.439 Well, you know what, I'll meet you halfway on it. 1298 01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:01.840 Do you know what I should do is I should 1299 01:15:01.840 --> 01:15:04.279 have gone instead of see how long the restaurant's been there, 1300 01:15:04.359 --> 01:15:05.279 you know, and they're about me? 1301 01:15:05.439 --> 01:15:06.840 Yeah they're there twenty years? 1302 01:15:06.920 --> 01:15:09.079 Then then yeah they should know better. 1303 01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:12.000 Absolutely all right, I'll meet you halfway on that. And 1304 01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:13.520 you know what I think it is. I think that 1305 01:15:13.640 --> 01:15:16.560 they just have really poor planning when it comes to 1306 01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:17.560 bar events in Atlanta. 1307 01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:19.279 Did you see the story a few weeks ago or 1308 01:15:19.279 --> 01:15:20.079 do I guess it was just. 1309 01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:22.640 Before the bit we all kind of took our big vacation. 1310 01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:24.039 Of the bar. 1311 01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:27.239 It's just outside of Atlanta, and it's very rule. And 1312 01:15:27.319 --> 01:15:30.279 if you look at what I do you do this 1313 01:15:30.359 --> 01:15:31.920 when you want to look and get a sense for 1314 01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:33.840 a place, do you ever go to like Google Earth 1315 01:15:33.920 --> 01:15:36.960 and look at a street view or or if you're 1316 01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:39.600 on there, if you click on a restaurant and on 1317 01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:43.680 the Google and they they have photos, they have photos 1318 01:15:43.760 --> 01:15:45.279 of what it looks like when there's a bunch of 1319 01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:46.800 people in there, so you can get a sense of 1320 01:15:46.920 --> 01:15:48.720 Do they have a bar, a nice bar to sit at. 1321 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:50.760 They have a pool table, even if it's not just 1322 01:15:51.319 --> 01:15:55.199 I use it all the time. This bar, this one 1323 01:15:56.079 --> 01:15:57.920 not for this one, but for this other story. So 1324 01:15:58.000 --> 01:15:59.960 the bar and the other story from a few weeks ago. 1325 01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:04.239 So it's pickup trucks, many of which have like blue 1326 01:16:04.239 --> 01:16:09.600 collar you know, like Mike's plumbing all that, motorcycles and 1327 01:16:09.920 --> 01:16:12.560 uh you know, dirt parking lot. And it looks like 1328 01:16:13.239 --> 01:16:16.840 it looks like it's it's uh, you know, very very 1329 01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:21.520 blue collar, probably a little rednecky. From the juke box 1330 01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:23.159 and the posters that are up there, it looks like 1331 01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:24.760 kind of place I'd actually like to go. And those 1332 01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:28.079 are the places I like. So so they hire a 1333 01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:30.560 band to come in and one of the singers in 1334 01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:36.000 the band starts screaming about killing white people, and the 1335 01:16:36.039 --> 01:16:38.479 owner didn't vet it well. And then it turned into 1336 01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:42.039 the stereotypical where they were breaking pool cues to fight eGain, 1337 01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:48.359 and it's the whole thing is insane. It's like I'm 1338 01:16:48.359 --> 01:16:50.520 looking at the bar and I'm like that, and and 1339 01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:53.159 every and every one of the photos it's a bunch 1340 01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:56.760 of it's a bunch of white people, bikers and uh, 1341 01:16:56.840 --> 01:17:00.680 you know, farmer looking dudes, and and so you brought 1342 01:17:00.760 --> 01:17:03.399 in the Bill Whitey thing. And what was so funny 1343 01:17:03.560 --> 01:17:06.279 is the old Eddie Murphy bit when he did the VFW. 1344 01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:07.239 Do you remember that? 1345 01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:08.760 No, but. 1346 01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:13.359 If you can quickly find that he's probably doing something 1347 01:17:13.359 --> 01:17:14.159 else but. 1348 01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:17.600 The jazz singer Neil Diamond, he dresses up in black face. 1349 01:17:18.039 --> 01:17:20.680 You have you never seen the old Eddie Murphy. You 1350 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:23.079 never seen the old Eddie Murphy of vf W skit 1351 01:17:23.239 --> 01:17:26.840 from ESSENL. It's dude, it's one of they have. It's 1352 01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:29.680 one of the So Eddie Murphy is part here. It 1353 01:17:29.800 --> 01:17:30.600 is okay? 1354 01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:33.319 Is that the is that the no, give me the hook? 1355 01:17:33.640 --> 01:17:34.159 Is that the hook? 1356 01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:35.000 Okay? 1357 01:17:35.039 --> 01:17:35.199 Here? 1358 01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:37.960 It is all right. So it's a there're a they're 1359 01:17:38.000 --> 01:17:40.000 a reggae band, and so. 1360 01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:42.880 It's it's all a bunch of old veterans. It's all 1361 01:17:42.920 --> 01:17:44.159 a bunch of old veterans. 1362 01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:47.000 And uh, and Eddie Murphy's guys go up there and 1363 01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:52.680 start singing this hold on, hold. 1364 01:17:52.439 --> 01:18:03.039 On, what fun my record? 1365 01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:07.720 All Right? He did the meme, and it's like, that 1366 01:18:07.880 --> 01:18:10.560 is our society now doing the meme. You saw Kirsten 1367 01:18:10.600 --> 01:18:13.600 gillibrand Pete Hegseth did the meme the other day with 1368 01:18:13.720 --> 01:18:15.680 the came for the plate of salad and all that. 1369 01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:18.199 So I'm going to use this transition, probably a lot 1370 01:18:18.279 --> 01:18:20.359 later than I should have. H What have you thought 1371 01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:24.039 of the confirmation hearings? Do you think anyone's been disqualified 1372 01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:25.560 or you think they're going to sound through? 1373 01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:26.560 Yeah? 1374 01:18:26.600 --> 01:18:28.159 I think they're all going to get through. I think 1375 01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:31.479 they're I think hag Seth was the toughest one to 1376 01:18:31.520 --> 01:18:35.359 get through, and he did well. Yeah, he did well. 1377 01:18:35.479 --> 01:18:37.920 Women, I'm sorry, I don't want to make this about women, 1378 01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:43.399 but like Democrat women, you're not doing yourself any favors. 1379 01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:49.039 No, No, it's uh, it's yeah, it's have you heard 1380 01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:53.319 this term the long house? I you know what I mean? 1381 01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:56.239 I've heard I've heard of reference from a Native American perspective, 1382 01:18:56.239 --> 01:18:57.720 but I think you means so, right, So what is. 1383 01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:01.720 It about the long house? And these remember the native cultures, 1384 01:19:01.760 --> 01:19:06.800 the indigenous people who their their villages and their societies 1385 01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:10.640 were governed and led by women. And so this is 1386 01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:14.560 what is now kind of emerging, is this narrative if 1387 01:19:14.600 --> 01:19:17.399 you will that uh, like, this is what the long 1388 01:19:17.479 --> 01:19:22.560 house looks like? And uh, I mean yeah, like, I 1389 01:19:22.640 --> 01:19:27.039 like there is a way to you know, express passion 1390 01:19:27.199 --> 01:19:31.640 and uh and emotion and you know, lay into account 1391 01:19:31.680 --> 01:19:36.239 for me or something. But there's also a line that 1392 01:19:36.279 --> 01:19:39.279 you shouldn't cross when it turns into shrieking, you know. 1393 01:19:40.560 --> 01:19:43.000 And you're telling on your stuff because you don't think 1394 01:19:43.039 --> 01:19:45.880 you can compete unless you do that. That's what's that's 1395 01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:48.319 what's crazy about it, right, Yeah, you have to do 1396 01:19:48.359 --> 01:19:51.159 that even though your male counterparts are being equally as 1397 01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:55.439 jerkish and bringing up irrelevant stuff, but you feel you 1398 01:19:55.479 --> 01:19:58.319 have to do it at a higher decibel, right. 1399 01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:00.640 And yeah, and that's the thing. We all know what 1400 01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:02.520 these hearings are about. They're all going to get confirmed, 1401 01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:05.520 it looks like, and what these hearings are about is 1402 01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:08.439 creating the thirty second clip so you can send it 1403 01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:11.439 out to your big time donors and then they all 1404 01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:13.640 know that you're fighting for them and they'll throw you 1405 01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:16.560 some more money. That's that's all these things are good for, 1406 01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:19.000 I think at this point. I honestly though, the best 1407 01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:22.520 one I saw was Rubio's Marco Rubios, where I guess 1408 01:20:22.560 --> 01:20:25.039 because he is a senator and he has good relationships 1409 01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:27.840 with the people that you know, he served with that 1410 01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:32.520 it was actually a discussion about like geopolitics and American 1411 01:20:32.600 --> 01:20:35.439 posture toward the rest of the world. It was actually 1412 01:20:35.520 --> 01:20:38.359 very substantive. It was three hours long, but I enjoyed it. 1413 01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:41.119 Why look, I watched a whole bunch of Democrats Republicans 1414 01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:44.279 who were asking substantive questions. I appreciate that there's also 1415 01:20:44.359 --> 01:20:47.760 Republican posturing, but it's just oh yeah, so all right, 1416 01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:49.960 I got a roll. And by the way, shriek skull, 1417 01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:54.560 Kirsten Gillibran shriek scolding hag Seth over drinking is hilarious. 1418 01:20:54.960 --> 01:20:58.199 But that's for another day. All right, Pete, have a 1419 01:20:58.199 --> 01:21:12.119 good weekend. Brother who wants to talk about exploding livestock? 1420 01:21:12.279 --> 01:21:15.399 Raise your all of you, Okay, good, good, good good. 1421 01:21:15.720 --> 01:21:17.760 But we're not gonna start there. But I'm gonna go 1422 01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:21.800 there because, yes, even though I don't live in Wyoming anymore, 1423 01:21:22.640 --> 01:21:25.760 that's where I come from. And uh, there's a So 1424 01:21:25.800 --> 01:21:28.439 I follow the news and there's a there's an interesting 1425 01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:32.279 story out there, and I went to go read it, 1426 01:21:32.760 --> 01:21:34.600 the latest update on it, because it sounds like the 1427 01:21:34.920 --> 01:21:42.640 thing's getting approved. And the comments were insane. People are upset, 1428 01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:45.520 and they got all different things, and then they started 1429 01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:48.199 pulling up old stuff and going, well, there's a way 1430 01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:54.279 you can't trust wyomingites. They blow up horses. So don't worry. 1431 01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:55.199 It's all gonna make sense. 1432 01:21:55.239 --> 01:21:55.680 Here we go. 1433 01:21:56.760 --> 01:22:00.560 So this is interesting. One of the things we know 1434 01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:03.640 about the windmills, the big you know, the big wind turbines, 1435 01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:07.319 is the blades have a lifespan, and when you take 1436 01:22:07.359 --> 01:22:13.119 them apart, it is they generally just they it's landfill city, man. 1437 01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:16.840 They're not reusing them. It's you know, it's the part 1438 01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:19.479 of green energy that they don't dwell upon. You know, 1439 01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:21.760 where it's eating all the eagles and then there's massive 1440 01:22:21.800 --> 01:22:23.720 amounts of waste. But there is so what do you 1441 01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:28.680 do with those blades? Well, some lawmakers in Wyoming had 1442 01:22:28.680 --> 01:22:33.039 an idea because Wyoming has their own issue when it 1443 01:22:33.039 --> 01:22:36.720 comes to energy production, albeit of the older school variety. 1444 01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:39.800 If any of you have ever spent any time out 1445 01:22:39.800 --> 01:22:45.720 in Wyoming around the Gillette area, they have mines, including 1446 01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:50.680 the largest open faced coal mine in the world. 1447 01:22:51.279 --> 01:22:52.600 And it's not close. 1448 01:22:52.760 --> 01:22:55.920 In fact, if you're in Gellette and you go on 1449 01:22:55.960 --> 01:22:59.720 the old highway like five ten miles towards Claremont and 1450 01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:02.760 Flow where I'm from, which is like ninety miles away, 1451 01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:08.279 you are presented with the that mine and it's right 1452 01:23:08.279 --> 01:23:09.159 alongside the road. 1453 01:23:09.239 --> 01:23:11.720 In fact, there's like a pull off rest stop. 1454 01:23:11.479 --> 01:23:15.000 And then these and then there's a viewing tower. It's 1455 01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:18.520 just and i'll describe it's like a platform for speakers 1456 01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:20.279 or whatever. And you walk up there and you look 1457 01:23:20.319 --> 01:23:22.760 down in this thing. When you look down, you see 1458 01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:25.279 what looks like a regular sized dump truck, but it's 1459 01:23:25.319 --> 01:23:28.159 so far down. It's one where you if you stood 1460 01:23:28.199 --> 01:23:31.520 next to it, your head wouldn't come up to the 1461 01:23:31.560 --> 01:23:37.479 middle of the wheel. And you and so on many occasions, 1462 01:23:37.560 --> 01:23:39.439 me and my buddies a stare down into that thing 1463 01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:43.800 just because I don't know, we're dudes whatever. But once 1464 01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:46.720 you're done with that particular mine. And there are two 1465 01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:50.439 where they start on a new hole. They have to 1466 01:23:50.479 --> 01:23:53.439 backfill it, but they don't have enough earth to backfill 1467 01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:56.239 it because there's the earth they took. 1468 01:23:56.319 --> 01:23:58.520 But once they hit the coal and you can see 1469 01:23:58.520 --> 01:24:00.439 the coal, it's pure coal. 1470 01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:05.920 There's so much and that's all been extracted and utilized. 1471 01:24:05.960 --> 01:24:08.800 So now what do you fill it with? Well, some 1472 01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:12.840 lawmaker in Wyoming is like, hey, what if we we 1473 01:24:12.960 --> 01:24:16.359 offer essentially a hole for them to throw all. 1474 01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:17.600 Their stupid old blades in. 1475 01:24:17.760 --> 01:24:20.439 We charge them a crap ton of money that and 1476 01:24:20.479 --> 01:24:23.880 then we don't have to pay for, you know, having 1477 01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:26.760 to fill it in with other stuff, and then we 1478 01:24:26.840 --> 01:24:29.800 save money and make money at the same time. It's 1479 01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:33.279 that fiscal responsibility in Wyoming I love so much. So 1480 01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:37.600 who would hate on this? Apparently everybody because it's got 1481 01:24:37.640 --> 01:24:40.000 the word coal in it. 1482 01:24:40.000 --> 01:24:41.479 It's just the dumbest stuff. 1483 01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:46.239 And then somebody decided to roll the exploding horse hand grenade. 1484 01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:51.720 I have heard this insult for as long as I right, 1485 01:24:51.760 --> 01:24:53.359 as long as I've been alive, as long as I 1486 01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:57.479 paid attention to this stuff, and I realized people don't 1487 01:24:57.520 --> 01:25:00.720 know about this very much. But let me, let me 1488 01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:04.960 explain it. Really, it got some prominence here. I don't 1489 01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:06.680 know about a year ago. I don't think we did 1490 01:25:06.720 --> 01:25:13.880 it on the air, but in in Wyoming rangers forest 1491 01:25:14.000 --> 01:25:18.720 rangers because of how dry it was announced that they 1492 01:25:18.760 --> 01:25:25.000 would cease or temporarily cease uh A, something that they do, 1493 01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:30.279 and that is blowing up dead horses. And I know true, 1494 01:25:30.479 --> 01:25:36.520 you're like, what why would you literally detonate a horse carcass? Okay, 1495 01:25:36.680 --> 01:25:41.560 they're not killing the horses. Are these are either these 1496 01:25:41.560 --> 01:25:44.880 are horses that they utilize and then the horse dies. 1497 01:25:45.000 --> 01:25:47.399 But they're up at they're in patrol cabins. A patrol 1498 01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:50.319 cabins up in the Shoshone wilderness there. That's where these 1499 01:25:50.399 --> 01:25:53.359 rangers come in. And if you've got a horseback country falls, 1500 01:25:53.399 --> 01:25:55.479 gets injured, has to be put down. What do you 1501 01:25:55.520 --> 01:25:59.079 do with the carcass? And you don't leave it? And 1502 01:25:59.119 --> 01:26:01.800 the reason you don't leave it is because if it's 1503 01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:04.359 in proximity to where you are, you're going to be 1504 01:26:04.359 --> 01:26:10.199 in proximity to grizzly bears and wolves in a minute. 1505 01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:14.880 So I'm not making this up. In fact, there is 1506 01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:19.279 a there is little There are documents that you can 1507 01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:22.520 get from the US Forest Service that give you a 1508 01:26:22.600 --> 01:26:24.359 tutorial on how to. 1509 01:26:24.359 --> 01:26:25.279 Blow up a horse. 1510 01:26:25.720 --> 01:26:30.199 No, I encountered this, Actually, no I did. I'm being serious. So, okay, 1511 01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:31.840 like two thousand and three, I took a job I 1512 01:26:31.880 --> 01:26:33.720 was working in Omha, Nebraska. I took a job at 1513 01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:36.399 a radio station in Salt Lake City and I drive through. Yeah, 1514 01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:38.319 there was about I don't know, I want to say, 1515 01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:41.640 fifteen to twenty minute span when I'm driving through Wyoming 1516 01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:44.760 and it was just raining cattle parts onto my car. 1517 01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:50.960 Okay, that's I remember, like fifteen the big thud. Damn, 1518 01:26:51.119 --> 01:26:53.680 Like is that like a hoof? Yeah, it's free meat. 1519 01:26:53.760 --> 01:26:58.600 So all right, I'm sorry that happened to you. That's 1520 01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:02.279 that thing that totally happened. I'm sorry that happened to you. No, No, 1521 01:27:02.319 --> 01:27:04.760 this is serious and many and we don't explain if 1522 01:27:04.760 --> 01:27:05.760 we have a cow die. 1523 01:27:06.119 --> 01:27:07.039 Here's the deal. 1524 01:27:07.079 --> 01:27:10.359 On a ranch, you'll have what's called a boneyard usually 1525 01:27:11.479 --> 01:27:16.920 and so and it's it's as far away from one 1526 01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:20.840 where the higher elevation, but two you want it as 1527 01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:22.760 far away obviously of where you're going to be on 1528 01:27:22.800 --> 01:27:26.039 the regular. And while we don't explode a dead cow, 1529 01:27:26.840 --> 01:27:29.279 we'll load them up in the front loader or whatever 1530 01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:32.359 or whatever we need, pop them on, drive them out there, 1531 01:27:32.479 --> 01:27:37.199 and then carcass there and you can burn them. Now 1532 01:27:37.359 --> 01:27:40.640 I'm such a jerk. What I would do is I 1533 01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:43.840 drop the carcass there because we don't have down that 1534 01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:46.640 lower part the proximity. They're probably gonna get a grizzly 1535 01:27:46.640 --> 01:27:50.039 bear down there. I get some wolves, but but I'm 1536 01:27:50.079 --> 01:27:53.079 looking for coyotes, baby, So if we had a cow die, 1537 01:27:53.159 --> 01:27:56.239 I'd be sad, but I'd also be happy cause now 1538 01:27:56.279 --> 01:27:58.319 I'm gonna put that fresh carcass there and you show 1539 01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:01.279 up and there's bones of cows. There's bones of cows, 1540 01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:04.560 just bacon in the sun there from my great grandparents. 1541 01:28:05.520 --> 01:28:08.079 Because we don't have a lot of critters that eat 1542 01:28:08.119 --> 01:28:11.640 bones and antlers like you see it like North Carolina's 1543 01:28:11.680 --> 01:28:12.000 got a lot. 1544 01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:12.800 We don't have a lot of. 1545 01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:15.560 Forest floor and so we don't like That's why you 1546 01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:18.239 can find shed hoorns. I found a shed horns that's calcified. 1547 01:28:18.279 --> 01:28:22.119 That's amazing. That's clearly from an elk from probably before 1548 01:28:22.159 --> 01:28:25.680 I was born. They just don't go away. And I'd 1549 01:28:25.680 --> 01:28:30.399 put the carcass there and then about two hundred yards away. 1550 01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:35.960 There's this like this very random rise, little butte looking thing, 1551 01:28:36.560 --> 01:28:38.840 and you can I can drive up on top of 1552 01:28:38.880 --> 01:28:42.239 it and I go up there and at dusk and 1553 01:28:42.520 --> 01:28:44.439 me and my buddies would just be sitting there shooting 1554 01:28:44.439 --> 01:28:47.079 the breeze and then we just slay in coyotes man, 1555 01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:50.720 which in Wyoming, even if you're not a resident, you 1556 01:28:50.720 --> 01:28:54.800 don't need to tag for it. They're considered varmits. So yeah, 1557 01:28:54.840 --> 01:28:57.279 and then eventually you gotta go and you hit it 1558 01:28:57.319 --> 01:28:59.560 with the gasoline and you burn it, and you stand 1559 01:28:59.600 --> 01:29:02.640 Aroundbviously it's control burn and then there you go. That's 1560 01:29:02.840 --> 01:29:05.359 but they can't burn it when they're up in that stuff. 1561 01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:10.960 So they literally explode the horse. And there is a guy. 1562 01:29:11.039 --> 01:29:13.439 There's literally a guide to do it that the Forest 1563 01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:16.079 Service publishes. I'm not making this side. In fact, I 1564 01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:18.199 said it to Ross so he could confirm that it 1565 01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:20.359 is a thing I did. 1566 01:29:20.439 --> 01:29:22.960 I not send you any how to explode horses. 1567 01:29:23.000 --> 01:29:24.920 You send me the PDF and it's like a blueprint 1568 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:27.119 of how to properly blow up a horse. And that 1569 01:29:27.239 --> 01:29:29.680 reminded me of my drive through I know, my. 1570 01:29:30.960 --> 01:29:34.680 Yeah, because like because I kid you not, You're like, 1571 01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:36.720 why would why would you need a guy. It shows 1572 01:29:36.760 --> 01:29:40.319 you where to place the explosives. But most importantly, you 1573 01:29:40.399 --> 01:29:43.680 got to strip the horse first. Uh, if they're shod, 1574 01:29:43.800 --> 01:29:45.359 you got to take those shoes off. You're going to 1575 01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:46.800 get killed by a fly and shoe. 1576 01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:48.479 Plus, you don't want it to be like those idiots 1577 01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:49.600 in Oregon with the whale. 1578 01:29:50.359 --> 01:29:50.840 That's right. 1579 01:29:50.960 --> 01:29:55.279 That's why I'm so judgmental of the whale because obviously 1580 01:29:55.319 --> 01:29:58.000 those rookies didn't know what they're doing. Now have I 1581 01:29:58.119 --> 01:30:02.520 seen a carcass, a horse carcass, Yes, I have. I 1582 01:30:02.640 --> 01:30:07.079 have watched it. It wasn't by the forest Service that 1583 01:30:07.119 --> 01:30:08.840 did it. One of the ranchers did it. And he 1584 01:30:08.920 --> 01:30:11.359 did it because it was a thing that there's a 1585 01:30:11.399 --> 01:30:13.920 frigging guide showing you how to do, and he had 1586 01:30:13.960 --> 01:30:16.439 some explosives. So what are you gonna do? And you 1587 01:30:16.479 --> 01:30:20.800 know what, pretty efficient that. Don't get me wrong. You're 1588 01:30:20.800 --> 01:30:23.479 still gonna have scavengers in there. But because it spreads 1589 01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:25.399 it out and there's a couple other things you do 1590 01:30:25.439 --> 01:30:27.960 where you kind of dig around there, you can you 1591 01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:32.359 can mitigate a lot of the the predators from coming in. 1592 01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:37.319 It's just it sounds crazy, but it's like it makes sense. 1593 01:30:37.439 --> 01:30:43.560 If you understand trying to mitigate an encounter with the 1594 01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:45.199 grizzly bear, which you don't want. 1595 01:30:45.079 --> 01:30:45.520 None of. 1596 01:30:47.079 --> 01:30:50.199 You want none of that. I've and down the lower 1597 01:30:50.199 --> 01:30:53.760 part of the property. I think my entire lifetime, I 1598 01:30:53.800 --> 01:30:57.880 saw only one brown bear. And I'm not even sure 1599 01:30:57.920 --> 01:31:00.600 of it. I'm seventy five percent because he was so 1600 01:31:00.720 --> 01:31:03.119 far away. But the body size was so big. It 1601 01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:04.960 couldn't have been a black bear because they just don't 1602 01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:08.920 get that big. And or we been a black bear 1603 01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:10.760 that was in more of a browner phase, which we 1604 01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:14.159 have a lot of in Wyoming. So yeah, yeah, there's 1605 01:31:14.199 --> 01:31:16.680 reasons you do this stuff, and then people use as 1606 01:31:16.720 --> 01:31:21.439 an insult and they don't understand that it is wild 1607 01:31:21.560 --> 01:31:24.199 and it happens to this day. Okay, that we all 1608 01:31:24.279 --> 01:31:27.239 learned something. And for those of you have a horse 1609 01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:31.279 that's getting near the end, maybe you got some ideas. 1610 01:31:31.319 --> 01:31:33.199 I don't know if that's legal in North Carolina. Look 1611 01:31:33.199 --> 01:31:37.279 it up Ken Boon for the Weather Channel. Got he's 1612 01:31:37.319 --> 01:31:40.199 got some weather here and you're not gonna like it 1613 01:31:40.279 --> 01:31:41.760 anyway unless. 1614 01:31:41.479 --> 01:31:43.279 You're a weirdo who likes to freeze. 1615 01:31:43.319 --> 01:31:44.159 So what's up man? 1616 01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:45.520 Not much? 1617 01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:47.680 We do have some rain, that's gonna head in this weekend, 1618 01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:51.560 followed by really cold air looking towards next week. Sunshine 1619 01:31:51.560 --> 01:31:53.600 out there today, so a nice finish here to the week. 1620 01:31:53.640 --> 01:31:56.880 Temperatures into low fifties this afternoon. Clouds expected to roll 1621 01:31:56.880 --> 01:31:59.640 in tonight, low to mid thirties, rain tomorrow. Best chance 1622 01:31:59.640 --> 01:32:01.880 will be through the first part of the day, the afternoon, 1623 01:32:01.920 --> 01:32:04.600 I think, mad extu to see some sunshine. Temperatures tomorrow 1624 01:32:04.760 --> 01:32:06.680 into the middle part of the fifties. Chance to shower 1625 01:32:06.800 --> 01:32:09.159 Sunday to finish the weekend upper forties, and then he 1626 01:32:09.199 --> 01:32:11.960 gets really cold as we head into early next week. 1627 01:32:12.199 --> 01:32:16.760 Clearing sky's force on Sunday night. Temperatures on Sunday night 1628 01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:19.560 head it all the way down to near twenty degrees 1629 01:32:19.880 --> 01:32:21.720 thirty two for a high on Monday. 1630 01:32:22.199 --> 01:32:25.840 All right, thank you sir, having good weekend you too. Yeah. Oh, 1631 01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:28.640 and by the way, it's not just horses. Also, if 1632 01:32:28.680 --> 01:32:30.960 they come across a moose or an elk carcass, they'll 1633 01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:33.479 blow that thing up too. Yeah. 1634 01:32:34.199 --> 01:32:36.319 Let's uh oh is that? How crazy? 1635 01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:38.479 Is that what they're doing at Chris Christie's funeral when 1636 01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:42.640 it happened? Come on, sir, I mean, maybe what if 1637 01:32:43.159 --> 01:32:45.000 what if some dude road in his will that's what 1638 01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:47.960 he wanted, would you have to follow it? Because like, 1639 01:32:48.000 --> 01:32:49.560 what does it matter? He just wants to go out 1640 01:32:49.560 --> 01:32:52.159 with a bang. See what I did there? No, okay, 1641 01:32:52.279 --> 01:32:54.640 all right, we'll be back. Hang on three day weekend 1642 01:32:54.720 --> 01:32:56.640 coming up, Jeff. I'm assuming for you as well, So 1643 01:32:56.960 --> 01:32:58.279 let's make it a good one. What's up. 1644 01:32:58.840 --> 01:33:01.920 Yeah, we'll get a good start to today's session. At 1645 01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:05.000 least that's what the futures are suggesting a case. S 1646 01:33:05.039 --> 01:33:08.399 and P futures are up forty Nasdaq futures or up 1647 01:33:08.439 --> 01:33:10.760 two hundred sixty one in the Dow futures or up 1648 01:33:10.760 --> 01:33:13.359 two hundred and thirty three. Just got a report that 1649 01:33:13.399 --> 01:33:16.359 homebuilders were at work on a lot of new projects 1650 01:33:16.439 --> 01:33:20.520 last month. The government reports housing starts surge nearly sixteen 1651 01:33:20.640 --> 01:33:24.479 percent in December. A three percent increase was expected. The 1652 01:33:24.560 --> 01:33:29.520 report says groundbreakings for multifamily projects were especially strong. The 1653 01:33:29.640 --> 01:33:32.960 jump and mortgage interest rates sent pending home sales lower 1654 01:33:33.119 --> 01:33:36.439 last month. Redfinn says pending sales were down four and 1655 01:33:36.439 --> 01:33:39.760 a half percent from November. That was the biggest month 1656 01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:43.680 over month declined since twenty twenty two. Mortgage interest rates 1657 01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:46.119 moved even higher this month, so that could mean more 1658 01:33:46.159 --> 01:33:49.960 trouble for housing sales. Now appears TikTok will be around 1659 01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:53.000 for at least a while longer, even if the Supreme 1660 01:33:53.079 --> 01:33:56.199 Court upholds the ban scheduled to take effect on Sunday. 1661 01:33:56.520 --> 01:33:59.239 The timing of the band works in TikTok's favor. It 1662 01:33:59.279 --> 01:34:02.479 comes on a Holly Day weekend, just ahead of Inauguration Day, 1663 01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:05.359 and Donald Trump has said he will allow more time 1664 01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:09.359 for the app's Chinese parent company to divest. American Express 1665 01:34:09.439 --> 01:34:12.760 settled charges related to its sales practice. The company will 1666 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:15.920 pay two hundred and thirty million dollars in penalties. The 1667 01:34:16.079 --> 01:34:20.239 Justice Department had accused MX of using deceptive practices to 1668 01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:24.640 sell products to small businesses. Those practices were discontinued in 1669 01:34:24.680 --> 01:34:28.159 twenty twenty one. United Healthcare will pay two and a 1670 01:34:28.239 --> 01:34:31.720 half million dollars to settle charges that it violated the 1671 01:34:31.760 --> 01:34:36.079 Telephone Consumer Protection Act by placing telemarketing calls to non 1672 01:34:36.119 --> 01:34:39.600 members after attorney's fees or paid. The remainder of the 1673 01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:43.680 settlement will be distributed to more than twelve thousand plaintiffs 1674 01:34:43.680 --> 01:34:48.000 with valid claims, so no Hawaii vacations coming there In Casey. 1675 01:34:48.039 --> 01:34:51.439 A new report is fueling debate over whether calorie labels 1676 01:34:51.439 --> 01:34:54.960 are worth keeping. Researchers looked at twenty five studies from 1677 01:34:55.000 --> 01:34:58.239 the US, UK, France, and other nations. They found that 1678 01:34:58.359 --> 01:35:02.399 posting calorie information and supermarkets and restaurants has just a 1679 01:35:02.479 --> 01:35:07.000 minimal impact on consumers food choices. Having the dietary information 1680 01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:11.359 available resulted in an average calorie reduction less than two percent. 1681 01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:14.960 One review says, that's like removing two almonds from a 1682 01:35:15.039 --> 01:35:16.439 six hundred calorie meal. 1683 01:35:16.720 --> 01:35:20.520 Casey, every little bit and every little bit, Okay, maybe 1684 01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:22.680 a little more would be I needed there. Jeff, have 1685 01:35:22.720 --> 01:35:24.880 yourself a good long weekend. We'll talk Tuesday, sir. 1686 01:35:25.199 --> 01:35:27.359 Okay, you have a good one too, Casey, take care. 1687 01:35:27.720 --> 01:35:33.640 There you go.
