9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,920
your support. So I mentioned last hour about press conference

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,759
that was held by North Carolina state Representative Laura Bud

11
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:41,439
And she's a Democrat, and she says that we got

12
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:45,679
to get to the root causes of crime. She emphasized

13
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:49,600
at this news conference that safety concerns on transit are

14
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:55,240
part of a broader problem affecting communities nationwide. Bud called

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,200
for concrete steps to improve public safety, including more police

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,439
officers states wide, stronger mental health support, and expanded authority

17
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,840
for judges and magistrates to intervene when signs of mental

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,920
illness are evident. If she wants to join this effort,

19
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:19,120
I welcome her to this side of the argument. And

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,760
I do I like, yes, any Democrat that is willing

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,519
to toss off the dumb assery of defunding the police.

22
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:33,680
I welcome them to team sanity. Okay, I welcome her.

23
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,359
Now I'm a little bit more suspicious, or as the

24
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:43,400
kid say, sus of Kimberly Owens, who was at the

25
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,359
press conference. She is a Charlotte City Council candidate for

26
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:51,959
District six. That is the seat that was held by

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,920
Tark Bacari. He then went up and took a job

28
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,280
in the Trump administration. His wife, Christa Bakari filed an

29
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,079
application to be appointed to fill the unexpired term. City

30
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,840
council broke in half, and there's a you know, the

31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,240
voting block with the mayor that said no to her.

32
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:14,000
They put in Edwin Peacock instead. Peacock is now running

33
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:18,280
at large. He's a Republican and this now opens that

34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,439
seat up for this race, and Christoph Bacari is facing

35
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:27,960
she won the primary. She is facing Kimberly Owens, who

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,560
is the Democrat. So Kimberly Owens is at the press

37
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:37,479
conference and she praised Bud's approach and said the biggest

38
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,639
start of all is a conversation, a by partisan conversation

39
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,960
around Here's the key. What it means to be a

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:55,039
healthy society. Okay, I shall take you up on this offer.

41
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,159
What it means to be a healthy society? I would

42
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,199
submit that what it means to be a healthy society

43
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,400
is to shun people publicly who say things like, oh,

44
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,599
I don't know. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, you

45
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,039
would say something like, I'm not here to debate. I'm

46
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,680
glad he's dead. I think he deserved to die. I

47
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:32,360
think a healthy society would not embrace that kind of rhetoric.

48
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:39,240
That is decidedly unhealthy for a society. So let's have

49
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,039
a conversation about that. Well, in fact, somebody did try

50
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,240
to have a conversation with Kimberly Owens about those very comments.

51
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:51,000
Now why would they try to have a conversation with

52
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,879
her about those comments? Very good question, Glad you asked.

53
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,960
That's what her husband said on social media. She posted

54
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,039
a video of talking about you know, political violence has

55
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,800
no place in our democracy, but her own husband posted

56
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:19,000
on the Facebook or the Instagram. I think it's the Facebook.

57
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,160
I'm not here to debate you. I'm glad he's dead.

58
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:26,800
This country doesn't need his level of bigotry. Question is,

59
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,759
did God need him in heaven or did the devil

60
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,360
need him in hell? When it's your time, it's your time, right,

61
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,879
smiley face. And then in another response, he says, hmm,

62
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,040
I think he deserved to die, and so did the devil.

63
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:43,800
Don't bleep with higher powers, and then he's got a

64
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:53,199
laughing emoji. Lol. So about that conversation about what makes

65
00:04:53,199 --> 00:05:01,120
a healthy society? Okay? Well? A woman on Twitter responded

66
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:09,240
to Kimberly Owens and asked her, Hey, what's up with this?

67
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:19,319
She sent me the screenshots of the response. Kimberly Owens responded, Oh,

68
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,360
this was email, sent me the response. I appreciate you

69
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
reaching out and welcome a chance to connect over coffee. No,

70
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,920
I do not share my husband's beliefs. However, I respect

71
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,160
my husband's right to have different beliefs, as we have

72
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,879
had vastly different lived experiences with respect to opportunity, safety,

73
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,240
and assumptions about our intellect and our intentions. I don't

74
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,800
even know what the hell she's trying to say there is.

75
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:54,600
This is just pat as with the fact, as with

76
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,279
the fact that he carries a concealed weapon each time

77
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,480
he leaves. Oh that's nice. So this guy who's like, Oh,

78
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,319
I'm glad to this person's dead because I disagree with

79
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,680
his politics. Oh, I think he deserved to die. This

80
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,759
guy's a concealed carry permit holder walking around. That's good

81
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:10,959
to know, as with the fact that he carries a

82
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:13,279
concealed weapon each time he leaves our home. I respect

83
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,439
that I have different views, but we have no right

84
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,920
to substitute my judgment for his, given that I have

85
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,959
never lived as a black man in America. Oh, there

86
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,160
you go, so as a black guy because Melissa or

87
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:28,879
sorry Kimberly Owens is a white woman and her husband

88
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:34,399
is a black guy. So therefore I can't judge him

89
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:39,680
based on his lived experience as a black man. I'm

90
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,680
not a black man, So therefore, calling for people to

91
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,079
be killed, or saying somebody deserve to die celebrating a

92
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:54,839
political assassination, well that's just his lived experience. Meanwhile, talking

93
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,920
out of the other side of your disgusting mouth, you

94
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,199
say the biggest, the biggest start of all is a

95
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,000
conversation around what it means to be a healthy society.

96
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,560
This is not healthy, Kimberly Owens, This is not healthy.

97
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,079
That kind of talking, as I understand it, he has

98
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:21,800
deleted these comments. She goes on to say, the expression

99
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,240
of his opinion on Charlie Kirk is his opinion. I

100
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:27,360
appreciate that a number of Kirk's more in sendiary racist comment.

101
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:30,399
There are no racist comments, by the way. I mean,

102
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,519
here's the thing, if you want a glimpse into this delusion,

103
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,319
you've got the same people that are twisting and trying

104
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,160
to see the meaning and the context of Jimmy Kimmel's words, right,

105
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,120
trying to take all of that his one sentence out

106
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,319
of context, trying to take little pieces of it to

107
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:51,040
give him every benefit of the doubt and make it

108
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,959
seem like he wasn't actually saying the very thing that

109
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:00,879
he said. Contrast that to the twisting the words of

110
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:03,959
what Charlie Kirk has said. And I played the other day,

111
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:08,680
I played the actual sound bites in full context, so

112
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:12,079
you hear the argument he is making. He's not making

113
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:19,519
racist arguments. She says. Inceniary racist comments, coupled with the

114
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,399
fact that black fathers are routinely taken from their families

115
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:26,120
without a mass outpouring of grief, have triggered my husband

116
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,160
to post his feelings to a friend on social media.

117
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,200
So there's excuse making for depravity. That's what that is.

118
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:44,679
That's called depravity. So I asked this person who was

119
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:48,360
corresponding with Kimberly Owens, I said, did she say what

120
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,720
the racist comments were that she alleges? And the woman

121
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,879
says that she asked Owens to send her some proof

122
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,200
of these racist comments, maybe send some videos or something,

123
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,120
and she said that she was done responding. So that's

124
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,519
how you start a conversation to a democrat, I guess,

125
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,679
to a democrat running for Charlotte City council, right, you

126
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,080
want to start the conversation, and it needs to start

127
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,639
with what it means to be a healthy society. And

128
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,679
when I identify something that your own husband said, you

129
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:28,519
sidestep it, you deflect, you defend, and then you shut

130
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,320
down the conversation. So you don't actually want to hear

131
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,759
a conversation, which is precisely why Charlie Kirk was murdered.

132
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:39,399
So when I was a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's,

133
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,679
and before he died, my mom and my dad took

134
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,960
care of him as he got worse. Forty years ago,

135
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:47,120
there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers

136
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,720
and family. But things are different today because of the

137
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,919
work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of

138
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,559
Western Carolina. It's a great organization with awesome people with

139
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,480
huge hearts. I've been a supporter for twenty five years.

140
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:02,799
This cause means a lot to me. I participate in

141
00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:05,720
the annual Walk to end Alzheimer's and I'm leading a

142
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:08,919
Charlotte team again this year, and it's called once again

143
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,399
Pete's Pack. You can sign up and you can join

144
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200
the team and walk with us. It's on October eighteenth,

145
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:18,360
that truest field. Sign up at alz dot org slash

146
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,759
Walk and then you can search for my team name

147
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,320
Pete's Pack. There's also a link at thepetepod dot com.

148
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,039
There's also a link in the description of this podcast. Also,

149
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:30,759
I'll be am seeing the Gastonia Walk on October eleventh,

150
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:32,600
and so you can make a team and join that

151
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:34,960
one too, or make a donation and help me hit

152
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,240
my goal of five thousand dollars. If you do, I

153
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,679
really appreciate it. There are a bunch of other walks

154
00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:42,399
all over the Carolinas. You can go to alz dot

155
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:45,480
org slash Walk for all the dates and locations. We're

156
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,360
closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's. Can you help us

157
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:50,720
get there? Will you walk with me? For a different future,

158
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:54,600
for families, for more time for treatments. This is why

159
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:57,960
we walk. Let me get to some messages, because I

160
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,320
have been woefully inadequate in my keeping up with the massages.

161
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:08,679
Terry says, since crime shows are so popular on TV,

162
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:13,440
that is true, end on podcasts. Why doesn't the Charlotte

163
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:17,559
Chamber of Commerce start promoting Charlotte as a destination for

164
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:23,039
crime tourism. Visit Charlotte and witness a crime. Visit Charlotte

165
00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:25,519
and you too might be able to be an extra

166
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:29,799
on a TV crime show. Just harvest those tourism docs.

167
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,039
I like get Terry thinking outside the box a little bit. Ooh,

168
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:37,960
we could get Sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden to

169
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,240
reprise his role as I Am Homicide and we could

170
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,879
get him to be like the host or something. Mm

171
00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:54,039
hm hm hm Okay, I'm just spitbowling here. Let me

172
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,159
go over to the text line. Oh my goodness, so

173
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:03,720
many texts that Scott says to adssault to the wound

174
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:06,639
of the cats issues. There are dozens of positions that

175
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,360
have salaries over one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars

176
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:12,799
per year. I didn't see what the director makes. Deputy

177
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,720
directors all made between two twenty five to two fifty k.

178
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,240
You'd think millions on salaries for managers would at least

179
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:28,080
give taxpayers good cause for expectations. Oh that's a good one, Scott, Scott, Scott,

180
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:34,200
And that's not how that works. No, the the administrative

181
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,759
bloat just gets blowtier. Okay, that's it. He doesn't lead

182
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:45,559
to better outcomes come now, um, yes, then again, government exactly, Scott.

183
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,279
He knows what's up. Jefferson says, Pete, what was that

184
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,240
old saying about uh, Mussolini and the trains running on time?

185
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,399
I think that was Stalin. I forget who it was about.

186
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,639
It was some dictator, right, some bloodthirsty, tyrannical dictator who

187
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,919
I hearded millions of people. And the joke was, well,

188
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,320
at least the trains run on time. So Tim says,

189
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120
I know how to improve the train system in Charlotte.

190
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Everybody who rides the train system must be armed. And

191
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:14,679
when someone tries to pull a trick like that low life,

192
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,879
he gets shot dead. And then gets shot dead again.

193
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,080
That will get the message out there. There are armed

194
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,200
people always on the train. So if you want to die,

195
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:24,840
take a train right on the train if you're a

196
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,399
bad guy. Problem solved, right. Well, that's the problem right

197
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,320
there is that they don't allow weapons on the train,

198
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:39,480
which doesn't work if you don't follow laws, right. I know,

199
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,240
it's a I am as confused as anybody as to

200
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:49,799
how the suspect, the killer of Arena Zarutzka got onto

201
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,600
the train with a knife when the sign clearly says

202
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,559
no weapons allowed on the train. I'm not sure how

203
00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:05,120
that happened, so we may never know. This is from anonymous.

204
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,480
I know somebody high up at CMPD and I was

205
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:12,440
told they don't even investigate drive by shootings into homes

206
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,120
anymore unless there's a death because they know it's not

207
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:18,679
worth their time. Nobody's going to talk and it will

208
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:24,519
be handled on the streets. Not surprising. Regarding one of

209
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:27,600
the guys who was victimized, A homeless man was robbed

210
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:30,039
at gunpoint. I believe it was on one of the

211
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,519
at one of the stations on the light rail line. Yes,

212
00:14:34,559 --> 00:14:38,440
he had three grand in a cash app. I guess

213
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,480
he had a smartphone as well, but he was homeless

214
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:45,480
and he had three grand in his bank. So and

215
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:48,360
I guess they forced him to turn it over something.

216
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,919
I'm not really sure. Why not enforce ticket sales to

217
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,679
increase revenue instead of taxing? Yeah, I would like to

218
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,559
know that too, Charles. Can we get a can we

219
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,440
get an accounting? I would love to se what the

220
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:04,159
numbers would look like if you let, like, I don't know,

221
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:12,360
take an average of fair collection rates around the nation

222
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:16,960
in the transit systems, right, you know, compare apples to apples,

223
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,480
you know, try to at least and say, okay, well,

224
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:23,639
what's the average you know, successful collection rate? Is it

225
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,159
ninety percent, is it eighty percent, is it ninety nine percent?

226
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Whatever it is? So find out what that number is,

227
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,159
and then try to ascertain by increasing enforcement of fair skipping,

228
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,519
do we do we find out like how much money

229
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,960
we should be collecting versus how much we are. Look

230
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,919
at the ridership numbers, right, and say, okay, and is

231
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,120
that just based on fares or is that based on

232
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:58,240
like body council on the train, using your cameras and stuff, right,

233
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,159
try to ascertain how many people aren't actually paying the

234
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,399
fares and find out what that number is, what revenue

235
00:16:05,639 --> 00:16:09,639
would we otherwise be collecting if we were not running

236
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:15,279
on a complete honor system. And there, look it's not working.

237
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:25,799
It's not working. Let me see here. Sorry the text

238
00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:31,919
message the system. It bounces. So they can add a

239
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,879
thousand police officers and mall cops to the rail system.

240
00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:37,360
But if the DA judges and the Charlotte government continue

241
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:39,399
to let the crooks and crime makers out on the street,

242
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:41,600
it's going to do no good. Right, this is going

243
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:44,960
to be the problem is and I've said this every

244
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,919
time I talk about this, it requires legislative action. Republicans

245
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,159
in Raleigh need to rewrite laws. They need to amend

246
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,960
some laws, and they need to force somehow through the

247
00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:05,200
legislation tougher crime punishments to take some of this, to

248
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,920
take some of the ability of these magistrates to let

249
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,839
people walk on all of these charges. Like look, I'm

250
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,960
not saying a three strike system, but how about a

251
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,920
three strike system. Okay, if you start racking up misdemeanors,

252
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:24,119
low level crimes, you start racking those up within a

253
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,279
certain period of time, say five years, If you keep

254
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:31,200
getting popped like no, now we're gonna start jacking up

255
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,440
the bail for you to make it more and more

256
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,400
and more expensive for you to go down that path

257
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,319
to career criminal status. All right, You hear me talk

258
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:46,039
a lot about incentives, Right, Well, let's talk about incentive trips,

259
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,039
the kind that companies offer employees to fire them up

260
00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:51,680
and reward their teams. If you own a business or

261
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,680
you work somewhere that offers these incentive trips, first off,

262
00:17:54,839 --> 00:17:57,400
good for you, but also there is a custom app

263
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,039
that's a game changer for these trips. It's called in

264
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:05,400
incentive Tripkit. Private group messaging, shared photos, your itinerary, travel details,

265
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:08,759
all built into a single, easy to use app. There's

266
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:11,680
even a traveler locator so Carl from Accounting doesn't get

267
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:15,720
left behind. The best part about incentive Tripkit it's totally private,

268
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,559
no email captures, no sign ups, no cringe ads. It's simple,

269
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,960
clean and secure. And when the trip is over, incentive

270
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,880
trip Kit turns those highlights into a professional storytelling video.

271
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,039
So think about it. When you launch next year's incentive

272
00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:35,079
trip campaign, that video becomes your greatest motivator. Talk about

273
00:18:35,079 --> 00:18:37,559
a return on investment. Right, You got to check out

incentive trip Kit for your business visit incentive tripkit dot

275
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,839
com because great trips deserve even better returns. Let me

276
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,720
get back to some messages here. Here is a message

277
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,960
from the hellyon on Twitter regarding Yeah, we need to

278
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,480
get to the root causes those types of comments that

279
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:06,920
usually means our policies suck. Now. Yeah, yeah, set up

280
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,200
a Blue Ribbon commission. Maybe we do something like that.

281
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,400
That's what we need to do. Russ says, ooh ooh,

282
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:18,839
I know what study the root causes actually means. It

283
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,680
means we do nothing different but funnel more money into

284
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:25,799
leftist aligned NGOs and keep our minions employed and enrich

285
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:29,759
ourselves while we further to undermine, further undermined Western civilization.

286
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,160
That's I'd say that's a pretty fair assessment of that.

287
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,400
Let me see if there's anything on the wow okay,

288
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,519
uh sorry, I'm just trying to make sure this is

289
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:50,359
fit for air. The uh okay anonymous text says the

290
00:19:50,599 --> 00:19:53,759
see Something Say Something came to a screeching halt when

291
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:57,680
people started getting called racist, homophobic, xenophobic, et cetera, or

292
00:19:57,759 --> 00:19:59,960
even being charged with murder. No one is stepping up

293
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,160
anymore because the law will set their sights on the

294
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:08,880
do gooders instead of the bad guys. How come we

295
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,039
don't call them do batters. I'm just I just noticed

296
00:20:13,079 --> 00:20:21,519
that now do gooders versus do batters. Breaking news and exclusive.

297
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,200
This is from the Daily Wire. The man who attempted

298
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,640
to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh? Remember that one

299
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,440
the left kind of memory? Hold that right quick? Apparently

300
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,000
the twenty nine year old defendant now identifies as a

301
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:47,960
trans woman. There you go, shocking. It's a new court

302
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:55,880
filing outlining the case and identifies as transgender woman and

303
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:03,400
claims to have been deeply mentally ill and suicidal. Also

304
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,279
this story from cbsnews dot com. A twenty two year

305
00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:12,000
old man is in custody after police say he threatened

306
00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:18,400
to kill New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayot. Ayot, a Republican

307
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,759
who previously was a Senator in New Hampshire, defeated Democrat

308
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:27,079
Joyce Craig in the race for governor last November. The

309
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:33,319
suspect lives in Hooksett, New Hampshire, and discharged with criminal

310
00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:37,799
threatening and harm or threats to certain government officials. The

311
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,960
criminal complaint against him, released Thursday, alleges that he quote

312
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,319
did knowingly threaten to commit the crime of homicide and

313
00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:49,359
or assault against Governor Kelly Ayot, the current governor of

314
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,119
the state of New Hampshire, for the purpose of influencing

315
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,279
such officials action or in retaliation for action taken as

316
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:04,240
part of such government officials duties. The suspect was allegedly

317
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:08,440
messaging with a woman on Snapchat and said quote, I'm

318
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,319
going to target the New Hampshire Mayor Kelly Ayott, not

319
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,000
the mayor. Just for the record there, she was not

320
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,240
the mayor, she was the governor. And he said he

321
00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:21,519
was going to do so with quote my weapon of

322
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,920
mass destruction Anderson. Oh sorry, I'm trying not to name

323
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,279
this guy. He made this anti He also made anti

324
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:32,880
Semitic remarks as well. Oh see, so if it's if

325
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,160
it's not the trans issue, it's going to be the

326
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,880
free Palestine guys, right, the the hamas holays. The woman

327
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:47,319
on the snapchat conversation told police that he owned guns

328
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,319
and that he had made mention of making pipe bombs.

329
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,640
He also had allegedly shown the woman metal tubes he

330
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,079
was using to make the bombs, as well as nuts

331
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:03,480
and bolts that he was going to put in the bombs.

332
00:23:05,559 --> 00:23:07,640
And now people may be thinking, why would he say

333
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,920
all of this stuff on the snapchat. Here's one of

334
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:17,720
the things these types of losers is what they are.

335
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:25,000
They want to be noticed because they're losers. They have

336
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:27,759
no purpose or meaning in life. They have no self

337
00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:32,880
respect or self esteem. They don't feel like they are

338
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,960
getting noticed for how awesome they are, and so they

339
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,559
want to brag they and you know, even if they

340
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:45,720
carry these things out, they then want the credit. That's

341
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:49,119
why they go on to these message boards that are

342
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,480
you know, fantasizing about mass shootings, and they do all

343
00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:55,119
this research on the mass shooters and they like they

344
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,400
grade them and critique them. This is what I would

345
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,160
have done, and all of that. There's always this idea,

346
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,200
this is the thing that's going to give my life purpose.

347
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,160
Because they're losers. That's why he would say this stuff.

348
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:13,559
He wants the acclaim, he wants he wants to be supported.

349
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,279
He wants them to be he wants to be affirmed.

350
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,759

390
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,160
it's just like the anti Nobel Prize.

391
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,799
Speaker 1: It is is this like for the evil people or no,

392
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,799
it's for the it's for the it's for the stupid stuff.

393
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:48,960
What Stupideah. Yeah, And they have actual Nobel Prize winners

394
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:54,880
that hand out the prizes. The prizes are banknotes of

395
00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,400
ten trillion zimbabwe dollars. That's what you win, a ten

396
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,920
trillion dollars Zimbabwean note. Let me let me calculate, that's

397
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,079
like three probably yeah. Yeah. They also the audience was

398
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:15,720
treated to a mini opera about gastro enterologists, a mini opera.

399
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:21,319
Where did this happen? Mit Mi t Mitt Yeah, Boston.

400
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,200
So they honor some of the stupidest research. So for example,

401
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,000
you're ready for this. So the theme of this year's

402
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:34,839
ceremony was digestion. The Nutrition prize went to a surprising

403
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,720
study published in the African Journal of Ecology on the

404
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:47,279
pizza topping preferences of rainbow lizards pizza. So that's where

405
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:49,039
the preferences.

406
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: So that's where the US AID money.

407
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,599
Speaker 1: Went, right, of rainbow lizards. Rainbow lizards, So many different

408
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:57,720
ways I could take this what do you think the

409
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:05,640
preferred pizza topping of the Rainbow Lizard is. I would maggots. No, no, no,

410
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,519
like standard pizza toppings, like we.

411
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 2: Would eat whatever Alex Padia is doing.

412
00:28:13,079 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: Because he graduated mit I just refer to him. I

413
00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:20,400
don't know, that's weird. Four Cheese, the four Cheese pizza.

414
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:24,119
It had these things dropping. No, they had them dropping

415
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,880
out of the trees to get the pizza. They love

416
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,200
the Four Cheese, not to be confused with the Four

417
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:32,279
Seasons pizza, which they basically ignored.

418
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 2: Oh you know, he was such a talented singer.

419
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: I agree. How about this one. Telling somebody that they

420
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,720
are smart when they don't deserve it, you might actually

421
00:28:43,759 --> 00:28:47,480
be making them more narcissistic. That was a study that

422
00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:50,200
was done, or they went back and they actually gave

423
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,680
an award posthumously in the from a study that was

424
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,839
done nineteen ninety one in the Journal of Pediatrics. The

425
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,599
study looked into the effect of eating garb on breast

426
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,319
milk on breast milk and whether it changed the suckling

427
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,480
behavior of Bibbi's what the heck are we doing right? Overall,

428
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:10,920
by the way, the baby seemed to kind of like

429
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,920
it man, m hmm, that's wild. Also, yes, sir, bats,

430
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,160
should they get drunk and fly?

431
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:24,519
Speaker 2: Yes, because they do not have bat uber yet.

432
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: They do not have bat uber, although I guess when

433
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,799
they're young they do, don't. They like carry them around,

434
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:31,960
They carry their babies on their backs. Those are possums. Well,

435
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,680
aren't bats just flying possums?

436
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:33,839
Speaker 2: No?

437
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so well, because possums are blind too. Really, do

438
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:40,480
you know the average possum, like their lifespan is like

439
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:41,039
two years.

440
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,359
Speaker 2: Who what were they doing if they went blind? You know,

441
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,480
people once upon a time said, if you keep doing that,

442
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:48,480
you're gonna go blind.

443
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,119
Speaker 1: They do have a don't they have a posable? I

444
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,759
don't even want to I don't even know. So, although

445
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:56,839
it's rare, it's long been known that fruit bats can

446
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,000
end up ingesting alcohol from the over ripened fruit.

447
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,279
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I love fruit I love fruit bats, especially

448
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:04,440
when they accuse me of things.

449
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:08,039
Speaker 1: It also in the public sphere, it changed the way

450
00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:11,000
they communicated with their calls having more single clicks rather

451
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:13,000
than the more regular double clicks. So that's it. So

452
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,599
they kind of got drunk and were like kind of

453
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:21,079
bouncing into walls. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
