Speaker 1: Ross. I'm feeling a little guilty. Man, Do you feel
Speaker 1: a little guilty? We just had a whole week off
Speaker 1: and now we're gonna take Monday off.
Speaker 2: Uh yes, so let me think about it. I sure
Speaker 2: do not.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I do not.
Speaker 2: I'm in a great mood because of it.
Speaker 1: Just add a whole week, man, Just add a whole week.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it really wasn't a vacation for you.
Speaker 1: You just you know, your wife travel and you were
Speaker 1: at home doing all that.
Speaker 2: It was completely stressful and full of anxiety. So I
Speaker 2: need the day I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: You're going to do anything for Memorial Day or just nothing?
Speaker 2: Not a damn thing?
Speaker 1: All right? Perfect? Yeah, that was kind of my game
Speaker 1: plan as well. So I thought I'm taking another little trip.
Speaker 1: But then I would have feelt guilty. But ah, it's fine.
Speaker 1: That's fine, dude. The payoff is just Sunday night, making
Speaker 1: sure your alarm's off. That's the that's the room benefit there. Man.
Speaker 2: See I don't know, man, like I wake up at
Speaker 2: like three thirty four o'clock every day.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, or not no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: here's the here's the deal. I'll still I can generally
Speaker 1: force myself if possible, to go back to sleep till
Speaker 1: about six, but once once lights of bruin, it's it's
Speaker 1: a bit of a problem. But I'd like to have
Speaker 1: the option. Do you know what I mean? Because yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird. I'll feel super awake, I'll get up, I'll
Speaker 1: eat something, blah blah blah. Maybe plan for a nap later.
Speaker 1: But it's it's the finality of the alarm. It's all mental.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I'll tell you what I know. I will
Speaker 1: say this. You know, you know what. I can guarantee
Speaker 1: that whatever you and I choose to do, we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a better weekend than whoever built North Korea's new destroyer?
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that?
Speaker 2: I know nothing about the story, but just knowing they
Speaker 2: have a destroyer, I'm gonna say that it's probably not
Speaker 2: the best quality.
Speaker 1: Oh but but I know nothing about it. Oh well,
Speaker 1: that's the rub. They don't have a destroyer anymore. So
Speaker 1: you know when you know when they launch a ship
Speaker 1: they put it on, they like slid it sideways into
Speaker 1: the water. You ever seen like a big ship get launched, like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's the new cruise. And then there's that moment where
Speaker 1: they hit it with the champagne and then they slide
Speaker 1: it kind of sideways in the water and it bobs
Speaker 1: for a moment, and now it's in the water. Right,
Speaker 1: You've seen that whenever they've launched a ship. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: split in half and there's a big crowd there. It
Speaker 1: had a big ceremony and it it's like I'm a
Speaker 1: submarine now, so where they're like fatalities or well, it's
Speaker 1: that's the thing there. There's a bunch of shots before
Speaker 1: it goes in the water of it with you know,
Speaker 1: with having like a bunch of soldiers on there, having
Speaker 1: a little parade, you know, having a little little press
Speaker 1: conference thingy, like all right, let's go ahead and get
Speaker 1: this thing in the water. And so I don't know,
Speaker 1: but also North Korea is not exactly going to tell.
Speaker 2: You, well, here's no matter what though, like fatalities on
Speaker 2: the boat are off, Like someone is going to pay
Speaker 2: the price for this thing being cut in half. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's some engineer somewhere in some office who has like
Speaker 2: a cushy job when it comes to being in North Korea,
Speaker 2: who suddenly is going to be in like the chopping
Speaker 2: block because your big ship was embarrassed in front of
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 1: That dude's going to be standing in a field by Monday.
Speaker 1: Yeah wait go stand by the big red ex.
Speaker 2: So let's not let's not be confused. You know there's
Speaker 2: going to be some fatalities here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, but you specifically asked that at the
Speaker 1: moment I launched.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to know if it was
Speaker 2: going to be even worse like those fatalities on top
Speaker 2: of the ones that are coming right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, hang out here just to say, let me
Speaker 1: let me send you a little photo of this mess
Speaker 1: oo do do do do do um Yeah, And so
Speaker 1: we had there were like and so it happened, and
Speaker 1: then the US actually released satellite photos of it and
Speaker 1: then they covered it with a giant blue tarp, which
Speaker 1: I don't know where you're gonna tarp that big for
Speaker 1: a destroyer class ship. But let me, uh, let me
Speaker 1: share this to Ross and then Ross can share it
Speaker 1: with you, all right, just texted, texted it to you.
Speaker 1: All right. So so I'm gonna need well, uh, do
Speaker 1: we know because a lot of times these you talk
Speaker 1: about cushy jabiing the engineer, but a lot of times.
Speaker 1: To be able to command one of their naval vessels
Speaker 1: is kind of a big deal because feasibly, you and
Speaker 1: your crew could just be like, we don't want to
Speaker 1: live in North Korea anymore, and now your vessel's gone, right,
Speaker 1: So inherently that's why it's like family members that have
Speaker 1: command positions. His uncle before he fed him to dogs,
Speaker 1: things like that. So we know who the commanding officers
Speaker 1: of the ship are. All right, So ross has pulling
Speaker 1: me to my is this all right? So this is
Speaker 1: the these are the CEOs like these guys.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm just learning about this, but I
Speaker 2: put the information in the feed through ross Ai and
Speaker 2: it did come up with some answers.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, yeah, I just saw this story this morning.
Speaker 1: All right. You see the photos of that thing.
Speaker 2: It'll buff out.
Speaker 1: It actually looks it looks less like tarp and it
Speaker 1: looks like blue electrical tape. It'll buff out.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: The new destroyer named shang Jin. Oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: shang Jin is where it happened. What's the name of
Speaker 1: the destroyer? I suppose probably nothing, So I guess it
Speaker 1: caught on the little arms the pivot which to hold
Speaker 1: the ship in place for the dry dock, and then
Speaker 1: when they go to launch it, the arms pivot down
Speaker 1: open and then the ship. You know, the ships are
Speaker 1: supposed to slide off. It did it, just did it
Speaker 1: in two pieces, all right? So here here's all right?
Speaker 1: So these okay, all right, all right, So here are
Speaker 1: the commanding officers who are probably not having a good day.
Speaker 4: Some ting wong we too low? Holy fuck? And bang
Speaker 4: ding awl.
Speaker 1: That's what ross I came up.
Speaker 2: It never misses.
Speaker 1: That's I don't know if those names work for your
Speaker 1: new submarine excuse me, destroyer.
Speaker 4: Some ting wong we too low?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, as far as the water line goes,
Speaker 1: obviously you're half underwater there.
Speaker 4: And bang dan awl.
Speaker 1: That's actually that's when the missile hits you, when you're
Speaker 1: standing in the field there. Yeah, now, summer to anything.
Speaker 1: It's technically not broken in half. It's just twisted in half,
Speaker 1: which I don't know what the difference is. Probably not good.
Speaker 1: I want to say, Iran, help them build it. If
Speaker 1: I was right. I was just reading a flurry of
Speaker 1: articles on this this morning.
Speaker 2: All right, So I just put some more information into
Speaker 2: raws ai. Okay, and it came out with the actual
Speaker 2: audio of it going into the water.
Speaker 1: It's all the actual because there is some video footage
Speaker 1: of the earlier ceremonies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see it in the dock and being pushed
Speaker 2: into the water and the people are and then so
Speaker 2: it's right there in the button bar this second one.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, So.
Speaker 1: Here is from the moment of impact or destruction or
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 4: Some ting wong we too low, holy fuk and bang
Speaker 4: dang Au you joke.
Speaker 1: But now they're going to have to attack South Korea
Speaker 1: on a door. Then only one personal fit in, but
Speaker 1: easily multiple people foruld to fit in. You know that
Speaker 1: North Korea is designing new submarines too. How'd you like
Speaker 1: to draw that straw? Right you're in the military because
Speaker 1: you kind of have to be here. They'll kill three
Speaker 1: generations of your family.
Speaker 2: And well, at least Kim Jong oh is looking a
Speaker 2: bit lighter these days. Like before. I wouldn't put him
Speaker 2: in a submarine to test that thing out, you know, right,
Speaker 2: not it's fair break down to the bottom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, never to be Davy Jones locker and last thing
Speaker 1: you want him coming back as is a vengeful ghost pirate.
Speaker 1: Can we agree? Don't want that not from that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's I wonder if we'd done that.
Speaker 2: Oh you think maybe it was like an OP or something.
Speaker 1: Or South Korea done that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean it could just be in competence.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, no, no, no, it absolutely one could
Speaker 1: be in competence. Remember Iran's air force. We wiped out
Speaker 1: half of them accidentally one day. It's an amazing story.
Speaker 1: We wiped out half of their naval force in accidentally
Speaker 1: one day. And we didn't mean to. We're we're just gonna,
Speaker 1: we're gonna, we're gonna uh they mined, uh, they mined
Speaker 1: the channel there, and one of our ships hit one.
Speaker 1: We fixed it, by the way, didn't sink it, thank you.
Speaker 1: And then so we're like, all right, we're gonna go
Speaker 1: destroy one of their frigates. And so we went to
Speaker 1: find the two of them and then figure out which
Speaker 1: one we're gonna blow to smithereens, and then like idiots
Speaker 1: with fifty cow and seventy cow guns kept like shooting
Speaker 1: at our ward hoogs and stuff and our our actual destroyer.
Speaker 1: And so at that point, rules of engagement are like, hey,
Speaker 1: you shot at me, sour Our boys just sunk everything.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a wild story. We were going for
Speaker 1: red tribution of one frigate and we ended up sinking
Speaker 1: both frigates and like what was equal to half of
Speaker 1: their navy because the ships aren't super high quality either. Wait,
Speaker 1: when you're a death spot, really the safety of your
Speaker 1: own crew is really your last thought. So anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: so these guys are.
Speaker 4: Canceled, dumb ting wog, we too low ho lee fuk
Speaker 4: and bang dang ao.
Speaker 1: You know what, I need another perspective on this. Why
Speaker 1: don't we ask former Philippine president d'Arte what he would
Speaker 1: do if the you know, back when he was president,
Speaker 1: if he ordered a new destroyer and they were all
Speaker 1: there and I don't know, Saigon or whatever and this happened,
Speaker 1: how would you handle this? Former Philippine president is currently
Speaker 1: on trial for war crimes at the Hague d'warte. What
Speaker 1: would your plan be? My orders are shook them dead?
Speaker 2: I mean that is surprising coming from him.
Speaker 1: No, no, well remember he was he was a big
Speaker 1: gator feeder two right, that was his you know, so
Speaker 1: you didn't waste ammo. He also liked to feed drug
Speaker 1: dealers to gators.
Speaker 2: Our gators indigenous to North Korea.
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 2: Are they indigenous gators like Korea?
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un doesn't have a gators.
Speaker 2: Like weaponize, Sure does, of course.
Speaker 1: Dude, if you're a dictator, first day.
Speaker 2: Like you walk into like his like inner chamber or whatever,
Speaker 2: his throne rooms or all whatever, you guarantee one of
Speaker 2: those symptom. Yeah, one of the floor panels goes down
Speaker 2: to gators.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, guarantee sharts over here, gators over there. Probably
Speaker 1: just a probably standard pungee pit in various areas. I mean,
Speaker 1: you want to mix it up, that's first thing. Look,
Speaker 1: if I ever turn into a desk spot dictator ruler
Speaker 1: of pits of animals are happening. By the way, speaking
Speaker 1: of gators, did you see the lunatic Well, I just
Speaker 1: remembered this from over during our one week shameless vacation.
Speaker 1: Some lady was down, she was I have to find this.
Speaker 1: She's a big moon bag, and she stumbled upon a
Speaker 1: conspiracy where redneck white supremacist had put gats into the
Speaker 1: Rio Grande, and she had some footage of some gators
Speaker 1: in there. Did you say, I don't know. Do you
Speaker 1: see this? She's like, she's like, oh my gosh, you know,
Speaker 1: like a bunch of but well, I don't know, a
Speaker 1: bunch of Florida guys, I guess caught some gators and
Speaker 1: put them in the Rio Grand so that it's a
Speaker 1: gator pit. And she put this video out and did
Speaker 1: not check to see if gators are native to the
Speaker 1: Rio Grand, which they are in Texas. I know if
Speaker 1: you know this, they actually there are gators in the
Speaker 1: Rio Grand. They're not super agressive and there's not a
Speaker 1: ton of them. But this lunatic couldn't even be bothered
Speaker 1: to Google. So in her head there was this fantasy
Speaker 1: where a bunch of drunk rednecks who hate brown people
Speaker 1: were capturing gators and transporting into the Rio Grand to
Speaker 1: make a gator pit. I forgot. I can't believe I
Speaker 1: forgot to put that back in the stew Well, you
Speaker 1: already know the gist of it. Now, she's a lunatic.
Speaker 1: He then also, it's gonna be very interesting in North
Speaker 1: Korea this weekend.
Speaker 2: But you think, like like when they're in the crowd
Speaker 2: watching the ship go out in North Korea, like they're
Speaker 2: all there watching it and it goes out and they
Speaker 2: push it off the pier whatever, and then it cuts
Speaker 2: it half. Do you think it's like the same as
Speaker 2: like when like when you're a fan of a of
Speaker 2: a cursed franchise when when stuff goes wrong, you're just like,
Speaker 2: of course, like is it like is it like?
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what I mean? Like Jets, It's like
Speaker 1: when Brett Farv took us to the playoffs. When he
Speaker 1: came to the Vikings, I knew he was gonna throw
Speaker 1: off his back foot and do something.
Speaker 2: Right, Like you know, you're a Jets fan, and this
Speaker 2: is like Aaron Rodgers running out with the flag and
Speaker 2: like blowing out his achilles. Right, of course it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: So if you're think, you think you're sitting there watching
Speaker 2: the ship go out and you're like part of the
Speaker 2: population there in North Korea whatever, and it goes out and.
Speaker 1: You're just there because they're gonna feed you, and you're like,
Speaker 1: of course, of course, not even Christ And what what
Speaker 1: is the proper reaction? Like remember when when Dictator dies
Speaker 1: you have to cry on command for like three days.
Speaker 1: What do you got to do with this ship that's
Speaker 1: that you want to you want to know what freedom
Speaker 1: looks like in America? The audience would mock them, the
Speaker 1: whoever launched it?
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, no, I men, we did that. Whatever the
Speaker 2: Remember when Obamacare like blaunched the first day in a
Speaker 2: complete the West. Yeah yeah, yeah, we're like, boo, you suck.
Speaker 1: Yeah you can't do that, and uh yeah you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't threaten to primary him. Let's say you can.
Speaker 1: I look at that. He just won the primary. All right,
Speaker 1: Well that didn't work. So I don't know what you do.
Speaker 1: I think you got a homer in the bush it, man.
Speaker 1: That's what you gotta do. You gotta you gotta find
Speaker 1: something and just like slink back into it. Man, your
Speaker 1: family people are gonna come and they're gonna ask did
Speaker 1: I make it to that? I was not there. Traffic
Speaker 1: was horrible, doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: It's unfortunately because they don't have vegetation in North Korea,
Speaker 2: so there's no bush to go back into.
Speaker 1: Well, they ate it. They had a bush ate it
Speaker 1: with no sauce too. We know that, all right. So uh, anyway,
Speaker 1: I guess we don't have to worry about the new
Speaker 1: North Korean destroyer. According to the TAPA Dong news agency,
Speaker 1: which is my favorite new news agency. Did you notice
Speaker 1: that you know you can trust them? Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll be back. Hang on the humanitarian chief for the
Speaker 1: United Nations, and he said something at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the week. You probably saw the coverage, uh, he said,
Speaker 1: and I quote for eighteen thousand babies in Gaza could
Speaker 1: die within the next forty eight hours if AID doesn't
Speaker 1: reach them. All right, so this is specifically he said,
Speaker 1: there are fourteen thousand babies that will die in the
Speaker 1: next forty eight hours unless we can reach them, talking
Speaker 1: about AID trucks stalled at the border. And then he
Speaker 1: laid the blame on Israel because you know they're being
Speaker 1: mean and Trump because of all of the programs that
Speaker 1: got cut, and of course the money to the UN
Speaker 1: and the World Health Organization, which, by the way, their
Speaker 1: new threat now is that China's positioning to be the
Speaker 1: most important country in the World Health Organization and they're
Speaker 1: going to pay for most of it. So that's a
Speaker 1: win again. And the UN's already demonstrated that even when
Speaker 1: they don't pay the most, they'll do their bidding. So
Speaker 1: so Fletcher made this statement, and of course outlets ran
Speaker 1: with it. It's dead babies. Man. Now it's funny because
Speaker 1: last time they were talking about dead babies in Israel.
Speaker 1: Do you remember how they spent most of the time
Speaker 1: just trying to debunk that because the claim was on
Speaker 1: October sixth that they went through and they actually literally
Speaker 1: killed babies, And then they spent the whole time in
Speaker 1: the reporting not going, oh my gosh, that's horrible. They
Speaker 1: spent the whole time trying to tell you it didn't happen.
Speaker 1: And then, if you remember, the Trump White House showed
Speaker 1: that video to reporters, which left I believed a reporter
Speaker 1: getting physically ill. I don't think they identified who the
Speaker 1: reporter was. So now they get that claim from Fletcher
Speaker 1: that in forty eight hours, which, by the way, does
Speaker 1: that make any sense to you? Does that make sense
Speaker 1: that if food, if food trucks are not let in
Speaker 1: in two days, fourteen thousand babies will just die. Well,
Speaker 1: following days and days of coverage, they've now had to
Speaker 1: adjust that estimate, all right, Ross it was fourteen thousand
Speaker 1: dead babies. How many dead babies in the next forty
Speaker 1: eight hours, even though we're past forty eight hours, How
Speaker 1: many dead babies do you think they're estimating in the
Speaker 1: next forty eight hours if fourteen thousand has to be adjusted,
Speaker 1: it's slightly less.
Speaker 2: Oh it is. It's a bit less twelve, a bit
Speaker 2: lesser than that, less than that ten.
Speaker 1: Remember this is in the forty eight hour window. Ten
Speaker 1: thousand or ten babies.
Speaker 2: Ten thousand, I mean mistakes happened, so ten thousand.
Speaker 1: I'll listen to you. You're a North Korea ship apologist, right.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna have it. Five thousand.
Speaker 1: It's like a little less, little less.
Speaker 2: If I was on prices, right, this would be bad.
Speaker 1: This would be yeah.
Speaker 2: You I would go off the cliff.
Speaker 1: You'd be yoeling your way to doom.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: The answer is zero. Actually, a fourteen thousand number, which
Speaker 1: is actually fourteen thousand, one hundred is an estimate based
Speaker 1: on acute malnutrition of children aged six to fifty nine
Speaker 1: months over a one year period and has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with what's going on there. It's literally a standing
Speaker 1: number due to the squalid conditions that is Gaza. So
Speaker 1: this dude just grabbed the number, which is fourteen thy
Speaker 1: one hundred, and put not a two year timeline or
Speaker 1: a one year timeline on it, a two day timeline
Speaker 1: and one doesn't have anything to do with the other,
Speaker 1: and the media all ran with it. And I got
Speaker 1: to tell you, I'm having a really hard time finding
Speaker 1: corrected stories. And before you go, well, who debunked it?
Speaker 1: The UN? The UN corrected their own staffer. It's because
Speaker 1: it was easily searchable reporters, so like, that's insane. Do
Speaker 1: you have sourcing on this? And then they realize this
Speaker 1: guy just grab either doesn't know what he's talking about
Speaker 1: or he's lying intentionally. And if he's the ahead of
Speaker 1: Humanitarian whatever humanitarian chief that's his title, I suspect he
Speaker 1: does know the numbers in a In a follow up statement,
Speaker 1: the UN Office of what is Coordination of Humanitarian Fairs
Speaker 1: Affairs put a statement out to the BBC saying we
Speaker 1: need to get supplies in as soon as possible. That
Speaker 1: remains the same, ideally within the next forty eight hours. However,
Speaker 1: the prediction of mass deaths in that span is inaccurate.
Speaker 1: They won't correct it was it was too good to
Speaker 1: stoke anger against Israel. Well, at least that hasn't backfired, right,
Speaker 1: we know that because we're taking a wait and see
Speaker 1: approach on this dude who's accused of murdering this couple
Speaker 1: up in DC. This this this Jewish couple who he
Speaker 1: works for the for the embassy there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were warned yesterday not to rushed to judgment
Speaker 1: about the guy with the Hamas towel screaming free, free
Speaker 1: Gaza and saying, yeah, I did it. We were asked
Speaker 1: not to rush to judgment. However, there is a little
Speaker 1: there's a few other little nuggets of info trickling out.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we should use it to make
Speaker 1: a judgment call, because I wouldn't want to rush to judgment.
Speaker 1: AOC said, so, so I'll just give it to you
Speaker 1: and what you do with that information is up to you.
Speaker 1: So the suspected terrorist, because that's what this is, thirty
Speaker 1: one year old Elias Rodriguez. So they started digging into
Speaker 1: his history and there's a few things there, including his
Speaker 1: participation with a radical left wing group that spearheaded BLM
Speaker 1: protests and violence. Okay, but you know, let's not read
Speaker 1: into that. What else? Tell me something else here, because
Speaker 1: I don't want to rush to judgment. Rodriguez was once
Speaker 1: a lead to the Party for Socialism, and Liberation, which
Speaker 1: is a far left Antifa style group, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: then had to put a statement out saying, well, he
Speaker 1: was at some stuff like seven years ago. He wasn't
Speaker 1: really important. That's not us, And it's like, well, you
Speaker 1: guys were the courthouse burner downers. I mean, it's almost you.
Speaker 1: But anyway, and I suspect it also weaponized some of
Speaker 1: his thinking. But that's me rushing to judgment. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: do that. Let's see here. While the group did confirm
Speaker 1: that Rodriguez once held membership, they distanced themselves from the violence,
Speaker 1: saying that he had association with a branch of the party,
Speaker 1: but we haven't really he hasn't really done anything for
Speaker 1: like seven years, which is kind of not true because
Speaker 1: Rodriguez is a professional agitator. That's his gig. But again
Speaker 1: that's me Russian to judgment. And you can go and
Speaker 1: you can look at his social media and he's protesting
Speaker 1: everything under the sun, just going all around the country.
Speaker 1: Protests in Chicago, protests in DC, violent protests in Portland.
Speaker 1: He also did a protest let's see here against Amazon
Speaker 1: in Seattle, which was a pet project of his for
Speaker 1: quite some time. Blaming Amazon for the quote whitening of
Speaker 1: Seattle through structural racism and that it poses a direct
Speaker 1: danger to all workers who live in the city. He
Speaker 1: was part of a riot in Chicago during the protest
Speaker 1: of then Chicago meh Rama manual. So at least you
Speaker 1: know he hates everybody over the killing of the seventeen
Speaker 1: year old Lakwan MacDonald. Remember that story that from twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. It's almost ten years. However, he did hold
Speaker 1: before he was a professional agitator. He did hold a
Speaker 1: job as an oral history researcher. This is the other
Speaker 1: thing that makes us really dangerous. When you see these
Speaker 1: think tanks or you wonder how do these ideas get
Speaker 1: embedded in our education system, it's because these are the
Speaker 1: lunatics creating it. This is what the guy did. He
Speaker 1: worked for a company called the History Makers. He was
Speaker 1: a content writer for commercial and non commercial firms and
Speaker 1: the technology space, national and regional for education based stuff.
Speaker 1: So he's making videos, you know, the documentaries, instructional videos,
Speaker 1: and creating course curriculum. In this case, some of it's
Speaker 1: for university learning, but some of it's for internal learning
Speaker 1: and companies. So you know, like the videos that if
Speaker 1: you were for a big company, they may have their
Speaker 1: own learning materials. That's what this guy's putting together. Let's
Speaker 1: see here. Oh, he enjoys reading, writing, live music, film,
Speaker 1: and exploring new places. I don't think I'm going to
Speaker 1: swipe left on you, bro, Let's see here. Rodriguez is
Speaker 1: currently at DC's Metropolitan Police Department and being interviewed by
Speaker 1: the FBI as authority scramble to put this mystery together. Ah,
Speaker 1: here we go, and as predicted, apparently there's a manifesto,
Speaker 1: a nine hundred word manifesto, but they have not released
Speaker 1: it yet as they're trying to determine the documents authenticical.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the dude, we'll tell you whatever you want.
Speaker 1: He's proud of it. So there's that. The document, which
Speaker 1: was apparently on May twentieth, the day before, appeared to
Speaker 1: suggest that killings were an act of political protest ignited
Speaker 1: by the war in Gaza. So this is the ramp
Speaker 1: up of all the rhetoric. We have to get action,
Speaker 1: and the ends justify the means. So let's go shoot
Speaker 1: some Jewish people or some cops or you know whatever
Speaker 1: the validate or the permission that people have dangerously argued
Speaker 1: that them not getting their way where universities didn't divest,
Speaker 1: now allows them to commit crimes. What do you think
Speaker 1: do you think these university things were about. They were
Speaker 1: committing crimes, at the very least intimidation and non physical
Speaker 1: assault crimes. Some physical assault crimes. You could probably get
Speaker 1: them with a kidnapping charge where they literally surrounded and
Speaker 1: where students were fearful to come out of their dorms
Speaker 1: and we're not being allowed to. That's holding somebody against
Speaker 1: their will. I don't know if you know this. And
Speaker 1: so every inch that you'll justify yourself to take leads
Speaker 1: to this and historically leads to more because now it's
Speaker 1: not one thing just to shoot a couple people that
Speaker 1: you disagree with. You got to get rid of them.
Speaker 1: And if you feel that your acts are justified, this
Speaker 1: is where we go. You know, frankly, a lot of
Speaker 1: these think tanks and these companies around DC that are
Speaker 1: sucking at the teet of the taxpayer, although less so nowadays.
Speaker 1: It's in your best interest if you get wind of
Speaker 1: anybody like this justifying murders on social media, why would
Speaker 1: you hire that person? I don't care if they edit
Speaker 1: good or write good voiceover. It is a liability to
Speaker 1: what you do. And I and I understand that you can't,
Speaker 1: well can you hold a company irresponsible for what its
Speaker 1: employees do? Sometimes, Now if done of this was out
Speaker 1: there and they're like, I was a normal guy, came in,
Speaker 1: was on the softball team, nobody saw anything, Okay, this
Speaker 1: dude was like all he did was take his vacation
Speaker 1: days to go scream at people with bullhorns and try
Speaker 1: to burn buildings down, and you still kept employing him anyway.
Speaker 1: And who wears a suit to a double murder? I
Speaker 1: don't know, like the Joker, right, that's not a thing, right,
Speaker 1: James Bond? Maybe you know, like it's the Joker or
Speaker 1: two Face, like one of those. Yeah, you're you're a
Speaker 1: super villain. At that point, you're wearing a suit. You're
Speaker 1: wearing a suit to your hate crime. I don't know
Speaker 1: why that offends me more, but it somehow does. This
Speaker 1: is why I could never be a good supervillain. Man.
Speaker 1: I hate suits. Oh. The last time I wore a
Speaker 1: suit was when I got this job, and I only
Speaker 1: wore it for like an hour. I went back to
Speaker 1: my hotel because they interviewed me at a radio conference.
Speaker 2: Dude, I don't own a suit and I don't own
Speaker 2: any ties. No tie, you don't, none, absolutely none.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get you a tie with value.
Speaker 2: I don't want one. You want to. I'm a free
Speaker 2: man and I enjoy it that way.
Speaker 1: How about a bolo tie? Nope?
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 1: You can dress like the guy selling fireworks in Joe dirt.
Speaker 1: What do you think of that?
Speaker 2: I'll take seven?
Speaker 1: Okay, look at that. It's just this is why you
Speaker 1: gotta learn how to sell stuff. People. Words matter, all right,
Speaker 1: six forty nine, So don't rush your judgment with all
Speaker 1: the stuff I just told you. The investigation is still ongoing.
Speaker 1: We may never know. And I saw zero people trying
Speaker 1: to walk back their own rhetoric us terday. Not a damn.
Speaker 1: And if you think that Rashida Talib and Elon Omar
Speaker 1: didn't have a high five phone call, I don't know
Speaker 1: that for a fact, but I wouldn't be hard to believe,
Speaker 1: not with everything they've said. Anyway, all right, six forty nine,
Speaker 1: Hang on, CNN decided to do the Norm McDonald beam.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know what the Norm McDonald meme
Speaker 1: is the Norm McDonald meme is a tweet that he
Speaker 1: sent back in twenty sixteen, and he says what terrifies
Speaker 1: me is if Isis were to detonate a nuclear device
Speaker 1: and kill fifty million Americans, imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims.
Speaker 1: All right, very well put with his pure norm sense
Speaker 1: of humor there. So what does CNN do They get
Speaker 1: a hold of a witness who witnessed the shooting, who
Speaker 1: also was a grad student at Columbia, So he watched
Speaker 1: what happened in Columbia with the no bagels please protesters,
Speaker 1: so and then happen to be at this thing. That's
Speaker 1: who you want to interview if you're a news agency.
Speaker 1: Let's hear how it live.
Speaker 6: Can you give us any sense because you said you
Speaker 6: look the shooter in the eyes, can you give us
Speaker 6: any sense of what you saw in him?
Speaker 1: By the way, this guy just charged, I think they're
Speaker 1: estimating twenty one or twenty three rounds, so like the
Speaker 1: fact there's only two people dead is amazing.
Speaker 6: Can you give us any sense because you said you
Speaker 6: look the shooter in the eyes, can you give us
Speaker 6: any sense of what you saw in him as he
Speaker 6: was sort of getting help, and people were tending to
Speaker 6: him as if he too was a victim of seeing this.
Speaker 1: All right, that's a good question.
Speaker 7: I heard about that part because we were in a
Speaker 7: secure room when he initially walked in. I just saw
Speaker 7: him screaming and then being handcuffed. But what I saw
Speaker 7: in his eyes, I mean, I went to Columbia for grads.
Speaker 5: Go on.
Speaker 7: I saw the same thing in his eyes as I
Speaker 7: saw in the eyes of all the protesters at Columbia.
Speaker 7: Nothing different between him and them.
Speaker 6: But they did not create this horrific shooting. They did not,
Speaker 6: you know, oh really, they didn't shoot.
Speaker 7: They gave permission. They gave the permission, and they have
Speaker 7: called for this. They have called for intifought a revolution,
Speaker 7: which is the same thing he yelled last night.
Speaker 1: All right, So immediately, and we're not even done. I'm
Speaker 1: not to the good stuff yet, but immediately he's like,
Speaker 1: I see what he's talking about, the hatred man. The
Speaker 1: Oday radio program coming up one hour from now. Pete
Speaker 1: Calender will join us, so, uh, you know, we'll do
Speaker 1: the Friday thing because there's more enough to talk about,
Speaker 1: including one of the Charlotte City Council members who decided
Speaker 1: along with her daughters to allegedly steal a bunch of
Speaker 1: COVID money. But who could have seen this coming? Tiwana
Speaker 1: Brown and her two daughters accusing have been arrested in
Speaker 1: charge accused of fraudulently obtaining more than one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty four thousand and COVID nineteen relief funds. Some of
Speaker 1: the spending included fifteen thousand on a birthday party, which
Speaker 1: included a horse drawn carriage. That's nice. Got to do
Speaker 1: it up man? How much is a horse drawn carriage nowadays?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: It was all the other stuff. Brown, who represents the
Speaker 1: third District and was elected to Charlotte City Council in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, was seen as making history by becoming
Speaker 1: the first formally incarcerated person. All right, read that as
Speaker 1: felon to elected to Charlotte City Council. Now what did
Speaker 1: she do to go to jail the first time? Are
Speaker 1: you sitting down? She served four years in prison on
Speaker 1: federal fraud charge is for attempting to defraud the Small
Speaker 1: Business Administration, which I guess technically would be the victim here,
Speaker 1: even though we're the victim in these allegations. So really,
Speaker 1: no way to see this coming at all. And now
Speaker 1: it's a family business allegedly, So that's the thing. All right,
Speaker 1: let me get back to the audio here, so we'll
Speaker 1: talk to Pete a little more about that. We haven't
Speaker 1: had a good city council arrested in forever Man, not
Speaker 1: one of the big cities we broadcast in, been some
Speaker 1: little other ones. Then you have a Captain Dui, who
Speaker 1: the former mayor of We're somewhere east of the triangle,
Speaker 1: but no, not one of the big cities. So CNN.
Speaker 1: So CNN sits down and they get themselves an interview
Speaker 1: with what is this guy's name, Jonathan Epstein. Oh, I
Speaker 1: bet he hates that last name now, Jonathan Epstein, who
Speaker 1: not only is a former Columbia University grads student, but
Speaker 1: it was at the Israeli Embassy staff party where two
Speaker 1: people were murdered by a lunatic screaming free, Free Palestine.
Speaker 1: So he's got a pretty unique perspective, right, Really, the
Speaker 1: biggest highest profile stories in this whole Gaza Israel thing
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the news cycle, and this dude's
Speaker 1: on the ground for both of them. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: good interview. You should probably listen to what he has
Speaker 1: to say, and sure he's going to have some opinions.
Speaker 1: He just saw two of his buddies get murdered. Plus
Speaker 1: he had to go. He had to try to learn
Speaker 1: in that environment at Columbia University. And the first thing
Speaker 1: the CNN reporter does is try to make sure that
Speaker 1: he doesn't blame anyone at Colombia for perhaps contributing to
Speaker 1: what transpired, which is absolute insanity when you consider what
Speaker 1: was ross. What was your example, Oh yeah, if you
Speaker 1: make the okay symbol, then through a bunch of research
Speaker 1: and weird twisted logic, even though it's a four chan meme,
Speaker 1: that means you're a white supremacist. And yet when people
Speaker 1: are literally screaming, you know, into Fader Revolution and all
Speaker 1: this other stuff, you're like, let's not read into that.
Speaker 1: Or whether they're singing the Boar Kill the Bores song
Speaker 1: over in South Africa and I'm being told it's an
Speaker 1: apartheid hymnal, that's all. It's just an apartheid hymnal. CNN
Speaker 1: can't help themselves. They're absolutely shameless. And I played you
Speaker 1: just the first part buckle in for part numero dose.
Speaker 1: You ready here we go.
Speaker 6: Do you worry that there will be a conflation though,
Speaker 6: of the two those people who are speaking their mind,
Speaker 6: who really care about what is happening in Gaza, and
Speaker 6: those people who.
Speaker 1: This chick is so cooked. She's talking about the Columbia
Speaker 1: University students. Do I have to pull the audio of
Speaker 1: these lunatics out? They mean it.
Speaker 2: Probably rested up like members of Hamas. They have this
Speaker 2: stupid thing right there. They're they're dre there or they're cosplaying,
Speaker 2: is that? And they're screaming what accounts to kill the Jews? Yes,
Speaker 2: what they're doing on campus.
Speaker 1: But you no, you don't. But you're not complating the two?
Speaker 2: Yes, I am? I am?
Speaker 1: Actually, well are you rushing to judgment?
Speaker 2: I know, I think the evidence is pretty clear?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Scooby doing the game here, old man
Speaker 1: with her anyway, all right, so hold on. So now
Speaker 1: she's asking the student he's nervous Ross? If if would
Speaker 1: you be nervous? Let's yeah, because Ross.
Speaker 2: Protests were going on outside the station because, as you mentioned,
Speaker 2: this guy was on the campus of Columbia, right, he's
Speaker 2: a crash from there. So yeah, no, if I came
Speaker 2: into the building every morning and they're just you know,
Speaker 2: crowds of people would kill Ross signs or death to
Speaker 2: Ross or not.
Speaker 1: But they put a little cutesy thing. They wouldn't come
Speaker 1: right out and say it, but it would me.
Speaker 2: You know, I might might worry me a little bits. Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, yeah, I don't know if I want
Speaker 2: to walk through that crowd to get to work. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: I might be concerned, Howard.
Speaker 1: But if you don't come to work, how can you
Speaker 1: see your.
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I've never missed a day. I would could,
Speaker 2: I would go through the crowd, but I would be
Speaker 2: very uncomfortable because I would prefer not to die.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, all right, So CNN ask your
Speaker 1: stupid question. Let's hear his answer.
Speaker 6: Do you worry that there will be a come conslation?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 6: Of the two, those people who are speaking their mind,
Speaker 6: who really care about what is happening in Gaza, and those.
Speaker 1: Are you worried who people might shooting.
Speaker 6: Who intend to do harm?
Speaker 2: A conflation.
Speaker 7: I mean, they're calling for intifada at Columbia University. They
Speaker 7: call for antifada constantly. Now they're not quietly, they're loud.
Speaker 7: They're loud you can hear it. They make recordings of themselves.
Speaker 2: So what's the difference.
Speaker 6: Are you afraid?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we're all afraid.
Speaker 8: Everyone should be afraid.
Speaker 6: What are you doing to try to make yourself feel safer?
Speaker 9: Why can't you just go on?
Speaker 1: You live your life.
Speaker 7: I'm a New Yorker, I remember nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: You can't let them make you be afraid.
Speaker 2: You have to go on.
Speaker 7: You have to live your life and hopefully your government
Speaker 7: does things to protect you. Last night, our government failed us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to you want to know how much more?
Speaker 1: The whole thing's amazing. Let me just say that this
Speaker 1: is this two minutes you just heard is absolutely like howeffortlessly.
Speaker 1: And remember these are the same reporters that when a
Speaker 1: few years ago, when there was some some reorders at newsrooms,
Speaker 1: if somebody went on Twitter and told them to learn
Speaker 1: to code, it was treated as a physical threat. I
Speaker 1: want to repeat that. It was treated by Twitter pre
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. If you went on and told a reporter
Speaker 1: whose newsroom was getting guided, then maybe they should learn
Speaker 1: to code. It was treated as though you threatened them.
Speaker 1: And she's like, yeah, are you worried that the people
Speaker 1: hate you? Might be conflated with the other people that
Speaker 1: hate you and speaking of that government thing there, that's
Speaker 1: that's very interesting. So the father of the alleged shooter
Speaker 1: was the guest of a Democrat member of Congress to
Speaker 1: the President's special Joint Session. I guess we're still not
Speaker 1: technically calling at the state of the Union in the
Speaker 1: last one, but whatever the state of the Union. They
Speaker 1: were a gallery guest at a joint session by Trump.
Speaker 2: Who is the congress person.
Speaker 1: Uh, the congress person he was a member of chew
Speaker 1: Ye Garcia was a Chicago congressman.
Speaker 2: I was hoping it was going to be a member
Speaker 2: of the squad or wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: Well, this dude is he's he hangs out with the
Speaker 1: squad too, but I don't know that he's an official
Speaker 1: member of the squad. I think Bowman was the only
Speaker 1: official dude. But Garcia's conse he's a huge like he's
Speaker 1: comedy almost and he remember Shid taleb love each other.
Speaker 1: I've seen him with hanging out with her a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at the time that he decided he was going to
Speaker 1: bring his father, who he hailed as quote an outspoken
Speaker 1: advocate against attacks on veteran services and the rights of
Speaker 1: unionized Veldium employees. So Dad's against the attacks on veteran services,
Speaker 1: but not Jews. As you know, that's not fair. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how dad feels, but this family is
Speaker 1: all tied up in Democrat politics. Man, his dad's a
Speaker 1: union organizer. I want to say, he also works for
Speaker 1: the Department of Veterans Affairs or dead. So now your kids,
Speaker 1: your kids out there on the hook for a double murder,
Speaker 1: as you can imagine. Let's see here is there a
Speaker 1: statement from the congressman Nel didn't comment, all right, Rodriguez.
Speaker 1: His father also appeared in a Service Employees International Union SEIU.
Speaker 1: He's also in Iraq war VET. Yeah, and uh an
Speaker 1: employee of the Veterans Affairs Department. There we go that
Speaker 1: according to New York Times. There great. Yeah, here's a
Speaker 1: picture of the congressman and Rashida to leave and elon Omar.
Speaker 1: So that's funny. I had to go to that one,
Speaker 1: all right. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four the phone number you want to be on
Speaker 1: the show. Reminder, Pete Callener will be joining us coming
Speaker 1: up here at eight o five as well. The Trump
Speaker 1: administration dealing a significant although I mean the grand scheme
Speaker 1: of things, it's not gonna cut it down, but a
Speaker 1: pretty a rather interesting penalty at Harvard. Harvard, and everybody's
Speaker 1: all but heard over this, So we'll get to the
Speaker 1: we'll get to the details of that. And we got
Speaker 1: a new thing that climate change is doing to you,
Speaker 1: So lots to get to. Oh and this might be
Speaker 1: the most disgusting testimony of the Diddy trial thus far.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna warn you, no, it's not sexual, but
Speaker 1: it is gross. I'll explain coming up next. Hang on,
Speaker 1: all right, so there's actually a few events, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm it sounds like there's a few things going on.
Speaker 1: But one of the things is that WrestleMania forty two,
Speaker 1: which was, uh was supposed to go to New Orleans,
Speaker 1: apparently is now going to be in Vegas. Apparently there
Speaker 1: was some there were some concerns, some contractual concerns, there
Speaker 1: were some safety concerns. I mean, know this New Orleans
Speaker 1: is a little murdery at the moment, and that area
Speaker 1: over round the where the dome is over there, I
Speaker 1: guess I'm assuming that's whe they were gonna do it.
Speaker 1: A little sketch man, a little sketch, but like, how
Speaker 1: murdery or how violent does your city have to be
Speaker 1: if pro wrestlers won't come there.
Speaker 2: I was thinking the same thing, like this would not
Speaker 2: have happened back in the day, like in the heyday
Speaker 2: of the eighties and nineties when they were all like
Speaker 2: fueled on like steroids and cocaine. This would have not happened.
Speaker 1: If you outlook it, they'd be out three in the
Speaker 1: morning counting money, wearing bling. I mean, you're standing on
Speaker 1: like rampart or canal. You have somebody countless stories about
Speaker 1: how crazy some of these dudes were because of the lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard the story of Macho Man at
Speaker 1: the waffle house after an event? No, but I'd be
Speaker 1: that sounds amazing.
Speaker 2: I think I can't remember if some shoot videos watching
Speaker 2: and it was maybe like Honky talk Man was talking
Speaker 2: about it, or it could have maybe somebody else, but
Speaker 2: it was after an event and he was sitting there
Speaker 2: and these guys got up in Macho Man's face for
Speaker 2: some reason. I don't know. Maybe they were like really
Speaker 2: big fans or something, but.
Speaker 1: Or maybe they didn't know who it was and they
Speaker 1: were just dumb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was just sitting there in the booth
Speaker 2: by himself and whoever else is with him, and they
Speaker 2: started a confrontation with him, and he's just like, oh,
Speaker 2: yee brother. He takes off his glasses and he just
Speaker 2: starts like he I believe help.
Speaker 1: Me is Randy sav He's six one, so he's just
Speaker 1: an installer in me.
Speaker 2: I believe he assaulted one of the guys, and he
Speaker 2: actually might have. Like the police came and ended up
Speaker 2: taking him to jail. I believe like he had to go.
Speaker 2: But you did not mess with these guys back in
Speaker 2: the day, because they they walked the walk and they
Speaker 2: talked to talk like would you would you want to
Speaker 2: confront everything you know about a coked up steroid Randy
Speaker 2: Savage at a waffle house into in the morning.
Speaker 1: How many here's the thing, how many stories do we
Speaker 1: have where people try to fight box. It's so mma guys, right,
Speaker 1: because they're all they're all ginned up too, and they're
Speaker 1: just like, you know, I'll be a legend if I'd
Speaker 1: be rotten macho man's.
Speaker 2: But you're right right.
Speaker 1: Remember there was Steven Segall got famously got knocked out
Speaker 1: in a bar Doallard of California and then wanted to
Speaker 1: sue the paper for reporting.
Speaker 2: That's why Jim Cornett, you know, the famous manager, carried
Speaker 2: the tennis racket around. You know, he played like this
Speaker 2: guy like this, you know rich guy played tennis, you
Speaker 2: know with the polo t shirts and everything. But he
Speaker 2: was so used to people like believing it and going
Speaker 2: after him that when he had the tennis racket he
Speaker 2: could put like weights in it. Like he could put
Speaker 2: so when somebody would confront him, he could wail on
Speaker 2: him with the tennis racket and had these giant weights
Speaker 2: inside it that would just like pulverize the people. It
Speaker 2: was her self defense on.
Speaker 1: The interview with I saw an interview with Mike Tyson
Speaker 1: one time, and he was saying that like twice a
Speaker 1: year somebody tries to punch him.
Speaker 2: Which I guess you have a good story because right
Speaker 2: obviously you know odds are it's not going to go
Speaker 2: in your favor. But then you can tell everybody I
Speaker 2: was punched by Mike Tyson. If you survive, I was.
Speaker 1: Gonna say it. Maybe you could say it, or maybe
Speaker 1: you have to sign it or write it down. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolute lunatics man. Yeah, well, remember we had the pilot
Speaker 1: who listens to the show who had the plane, right,
Speaker 1: because when you when you when you when you're an
Speaker 1: airline pilot and you know you're the crew, you show
Speaker 1: up to the plane the cruise before you will document
Speaker 1: it anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he called in. He's like, yeah, they're like headrest
Speaker 1: and in two a is ripped off because Mike Tyson
Speaker 1: punched it or whatever whatever the hell it was. But
Speaker 1: I remember that video. I remember those people jacket with
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Mentioned you show for the morning shift that waffle house
Speaker 2: and you're like, what happened in here? And you're like,
Speaker 2: they're like, macho man, you know.
Speaker 1: Pissed beef if you were late to it. So you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna come here like a half hour earlier.
Speaker 2: Like a flying elbow off the counter.
Speaker 1: It's too bad. Yeah, it's it's simultaneously too bad but
Speaker 1: also probably good for them that, you know, there wasn't
Speaker 1: video of everything back in the day.
Speaker 2: I think I remember what it was now. Somebody was
Speaker 2: trying to hit on Elizabeth at the waffle house.
Speaker 1: Miss Elizabeth yea AND's waffle house incident, and it's it's
Speaker 1: slightly different in both the motive, but also the story
Speaker 1: just got so much.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so much better than I remember, because I
Speaker 2: remember there being a woman involved, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I think it was Miss Elizabeth and her honor, but
Speaker 2: it was reverse. So I found the original video that
Speaker 2: I watched like probably like a decade or so ago,
Speaker 2: and the guy telling the story once again. It's a
Speaker 2: wrestling shoot video where they're talking about you know, the
Speaker 2: history of wrestling and stuff, insider stuff and you know,
Speaker 2: stuff fans would really like. And the guy talking there
Speaker 2: is like, you know, an inside wrestling guy who was
Speaker 2: there with Randy Savage at the waffle house that night.
Speaker 2: So the story is Randy Savage is it's after a
Speaker 2: match and he's eating his steak and eggs and he's
Speaker 2: looking down his plate and he's tired, he's had a
Speaker 2: long night. And there's like a lower type, you know,
Speaker 2: like a busboy type, comes in, not management, somebody works
Speaker 2: for waffle house.
Speaker 1: Somebody works.
Speaker 2: He's a waffle house employee, and he's super excited and
Speaker 2: he says he shows up for work, shows up for work,
Speaker 2: gets there. Randy's already sitting in the booth and he's
Speaker 2: super excited. He goes, everybody, I'm so excited, I'm getting married.
Speaker 1: Oh. So he's telling all of his fellow employees this
Speaker 1: exciting thing. So he probably hasn't even clocked Randy.
Speaker 2: No, hasn't, doesn't even know he's there. So Randy takes
Speaker 2: off his glasses, you know, the famous macho man sunglasses,
Speaker 2: looks at the guy and goes.
Speaker 1: Who gives it?
Speaker 2: And the guy now is super pissed off because he
Speaker 2: feels like he has to defend the honor of his
Speaker 2: hamin so he does like the old time he put
Speaker 2: up your Duke's type moment.
Speaker 1: To Irish boxer. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So Randy Savage looks at the guy and he quickly
Speaker 2: assesses this situation and he leaps from his booth on
Speaker 2: top of the counter, oh the top rope, and he
Speaker 2: has his buddy throw him a butter knife, and he
Speaker 2: starts threatening the guy in macho man fashion.
Speaker 1: Of course he does. So the boy's doing a promo video.
Speaker 2: The police had to arrive before Macho and murders the
Speaker 2: guy and they separate him. I guess nobody was physically hit,
Speaker 2: but the guy came this close with macho man with
Speaker 2: a butter knife at the waffle house.
Speaker 1: Oh what I feel for that guy, because you're right,
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean, you still have to assess the situation.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I understand why the guy might
Speaker 1: have said something. Was he wearing the glasses with the
Speaker 1: yellow swirly line on it? No, who gives him the man?
Speaker 1: But he had a tough day of work.
Speaker 2: Gott to defend your woman, you know, got to defend
Speaker 2: your relationship, and sometimes, I mean, it's coming this close
Speaker 2: to death via a macho man and a butter knife
Speaker 2: on top of a counter at waffle house.
Speaker 1: Which pro wrestler would you want to fight in a
Speaker 1: waffle house at three in the morning.
Speaker 2: Probably Marty Janetti because he would jump through the waffle
Speaker 2: house window in an active cowardice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. So probably wasn't a real
Speaker 1: butter knisee. Probably a prop knife too, right, do we think?
Speaker 1: Maybe not?
Speaker 2: No, that was a real knife.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. I would think if you're a bacho man,
Speaker 1: you were required contractually to beat your opponent with a
Speaker 1: slim gym? Is that not accurate?
Speaker 2: I think this might have been before the slim gym endorsement.
Speaker 1: You ever buy the like the three foot long slim gyms,
Speaker 1: the super long ones. You sell them at some gas stations.
Speaker 1: You get them like a couple of feet long. You
Speaker 1: beat the crap out of your buddy with those ortis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are solid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So I would not want to be the
Speaker 1: recently betrothed waffle house busboy at that point. So all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes a little more sense. But also if he's
Speaker 1: wearing the glasses, I don't know, Hey, you don't know
Speaker 1: that's macho man Randy Savage, because those are unique. We'll
Speaker 1: just say, all right, couple things here, Where is this
Speaker 1: other story? Oh okay, here we go. So I saw
Speaker 1: this yesterday, got to do a canceling. So let me
Speaker 1: get the let me get the official canceling sound. All right.
Speaker 1: So uh and this is due to unhinged moonbats and
Speaker 1: what they're angry over all right, So you want to
Speaker 1: you want to guess the latest thing that the unhinged
Speaker 1: crazy moon bats are well unhinged over No, not the Jews.
Speaker 1: I mean we saw that. That was the other day,
Speaker 1: working out.
Speaker 9: Ross.
Speaker 1: This is something you used to partake in, right, working
Speaker 1: out right, that was your thing. I mean now that
Speaker 1: it's canceled, you can't.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I still do though, but no, I just I just
Speaker 1: it just cancel. Let's see, it's got the take rebelling everything.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw this thread yesterday where people were talking
Speaker 2: about it, how like you know, it's it's they've been
Speaker 2: saying for a while that, you know, being physically fit
Speaker 2: is for some reason a right wing thing.
Speaker 1: Remember, protein is problematic. We had that article the other
Speaker 1: day like milk.
Speaker 2: If you enjoy milk, you're a racist.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, you don't drink milky.
Speaker 2: I do lots of it.
Speaker 1: Oh you're literally hitler.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but some of the moonbats were chiming in
Speaker 2: saying it's unfair to state.
Speaker 1: Oh hold on, hold on, hold on, let me do
Speaker 1: this set up?
Speaker 2: Ye please do it.
Speaker 1: Punch line?
Speaker 3: You do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, you do the punchline because it is
Speaker 1: that insane. I'm just trying to I'm literally on the
Speaker 1: swing trying to call it up on my phone here
Speaker 1: because I realized I didn't put in the stack.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 1: I got it, all right, So uh and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: retweet this a thread, right, I just reposted it, all right,
Speaker 1: So it starts with just a random dude saying this.
Speaker 1: He said, I genuinely hate how much better working out
Speaker 1: makes me feel. A lighthearted comment. Right, he's joking about
Speaker 1: the fact that you gotta go through the grind, but
Speaker 1: yet you feel better after. It's a super innocuous statement, right, ross,
Speaker 1: do you feel better after you work.
Speaker 2: Out every time? And it is something you think about?
Speaker 2: You're like, this thing that I'm putting myself through is
Speaker 2: painful at times, and it takes a lot of work,
Speaker 2: but afterwards, there's never time where after you there's never
Speaker 2: a time where you leave the gym unless you've been
Speaker 2: injured somehow. There's never time you leave the gym and
Speaker 2: you're like, man, it sucked. I wish you didn't do that.
Speaker 2: Every time you leave, you're like, that was awesome. I
Speaker 2: feel great And makes way.
Speaker 1: You didn't get a good workout, you didn't do your best,
Speaker 1: but whatever, that's that's part of.
Speaker 2: You know, No, but you'll still feel better than when
Speaker 2: you went in.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right? And then following this innocuous tweet, another
Speaker 1: woman chimes in named Maya. She said, one of the
Speaker 1: tougher pills to swallow is that exercising makes you feel
Speaker 1: better is just unambiguously true. She agrees, All right, this
Speaker 1: is a lighthearted thread. What could possibly ruin this lighthearted thread?
Speaker 1: You ask a person who's whose handle is row the
Speaker 1: trans flag they slash them. Their handle is literally their pronouns.
Speaker 1: Who then comments one of the tougher pills to swallow
Speaker 1: is that the way you all talk about exercise appeals
Speaker 1: excuse me, appeals to fascists and maybe you should think
Speaker 1: before you tweet, which the Taylor Lorenz then reposted because
Speaker 1: of course you did, and uh, and then this guy
Speaker 1: and then this account they them whatever uh starts going
Speaker 1: into this insane diatribe ross why uh what was one
Speaker 1: of the main reasons why this person is angry?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Because working out is unfair for those that can't work
Speaker 2: out due to disabilities, Like if you're a paraplegic, you
Speaker 2: can't work out, so you're being unfair. So you shouldn't
Speaker 2: work out because you don't want to be a fascist, yeah,
Speaker 2: or just lazy people.
Speaker 1: You're offending lazy people, which.
Speaker 2: Is insane because I don't know, have you ever heard
Speaker 2: of like the Paralympics I have, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I had heard of that. There are a lot of
Speaker 2: like jacked paralympians like, okay, there's not a lot of
Speaker 2: quadriplegics in it, so.
Speaker 1: What about them? Oh man, checkmate. Yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 1: How do you think Stephen Hawking felt? Did you ever
Speaker 1: stop to think about that when you're doing your dead
Speaker 1: lifts or whatever you do? I'll bet you didn't. All right,
Speaker 1: so this account rights. We all know doctors love suggesting
Speaker 1: exercise for any problem. It's especially great when they have
Speaker 1: no idea what's wrong? So who does it serve when
Speaker 1: you make universal statements about exercise being good and then
Speaker 1: people are like, are you? People are common?
Speaker 3: Are you? Okay?
Speaker 1: I mean, what the heck? So also this person locked
Speaker 1: down their responses too, because of course they did. They
Speaker 1: then go on to write no caveats for the myriad
Speaker 1: of chronically ill or disabled people who can't exercise or
Speaker 1: have an uphill battle finding exercise that doesn't harm them.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a good idea that disabled people
Speaker 1: are completely erased from a conversation about exercise. At to
Speaker 1: Ross's point, disabled people, there's a big broad spectrum there,
Speaker 1: and for a lot of people who become disabled later
Speaker 1: in life and are having to go through physical therapy.
Speaker 1: They were in a horrific accident. They were a soldier
Speaker 1: that was blown up by an improvised explosive device. That
Speaker 1: road to recovery is rot with exercise. How many of
Speaker 1: you have ever had to do physical therapy? It sucks.
Speaker 1: When I got that really bad car accident and I
Speaker 1: broke my pelvis and my ribs and everything else, and
Speaker 1: I had a bone sticking out of my damn arm,
Speaker 1: I had to do physical therapy for a while after
Speaker 1: that and left my left hand the grip strength is
Speaker 1: like half of my right still so and you'd show
Speaker 1: up every week and two people would be there, the
Speaker 1: same people to torture you. I'm kidding. I appreciate all
Speaker 1: the work that they put in, but I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't running four minute miles and doing stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I was essentially trying to get my gate corrected and
Speaker 1: trying to strengthen this arm that I essentially couldn't use
Speaker 1: for about six months. That's what that was about. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it was painful and
Speaker 1: it sucked. And that's very minor compared to what people
Speaker 1: go through. And Ross's point, when you look at the Paralympians.
Speaker 1: They may be in a wheelchair, but their arms could
Speaker 1: deadlift you. They were crazy strong. So who the hell
Speaker 1: are you talking about.
Speaker 2: I think it's just an excuse so she can continue
Speaker 2: to enough fit in her pants.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry who they them? They they sorry, But there's
Speaker 1: very clearly a trans flag. They them and the word row,
Speaker 1: So I mean, I know, row like roe v Wade,
Speaker 1: not row like a boat. So there's that. The funniest,
Speaker 1: the funniest. I thought it was Special Olympics. My funniest
Speaker 1: South Park episode is that remember when Cartman decided he's
Speaker 1: going to go do that so he can win, and
Speaker 1: then he just gets destroyed by Timmy and all the categories.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. And the second second favorite one is when Men.
Speaker 1: It's the episode about men and women's sports, and it's
Speaker 1: macho man, uh destroying all the women. So look at
Speaker 1: that ties right back? All right? Oh boy, still having
Speaker 1: that issue? A right? Ken Boon from the Weather Channel
Speaker 1: joins us here on our Friday ahead of a three
Speaker 1: day weekend, So we're not going to need you guys Monday,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you probably don't want to be there anyway,
Speaker 1: So just half eye to the weather gods, and do
Speaker 1: you think, sir?
Speaker 5: All right, Well, we've got some cooler temperatures today, mostly
Speaker 5: sunny sky sports here today yesterday, and we got up
Speaker 5: into the low part of the eighties today, middle to
Speaker 5: upper seventies for after and high so really nice finished
Speaker 5: here to the business week. Clear skies here tonight, and
Speaker 5: you're fifty.
Speaker 3: Heading into the long holiday weekend.

Speaker 5: to increase. Late temperatures tomorrow afternoon in the upper part
Speaker 5: of the seventies, partly sunny. Sunday late day showers and
Speaker 5: storms possible Sunday eyes in the upper part of the seventies.
Speaker 5: We've got a chance of showers on Memorial Day. Otherwise

Speaker 1: All right, there you go, So we get some good
Speaker 1: weather in there, and we'll talk to you in the
Speaker 1: next hour, sir. Appreciate it, all right. Some of you
Speaker 1: may have seen this story, and of course the graphic
Speaker 1: that they chose to include with it is it's from
Speaker 1: these the Asheville newspaper, and it says Trump admid cancel
Speaker 1: seven point seven million dollar grant for rural western North
Speaker 1: Carolina and veterans, bad news for Helene recovery. And then
Speaker 1: they have the graphic is a picture of one of
Speaker 1: the many devastated rivers slash roads up in western North Carolina. Right, So,
Speaker 1: based on that headline and based on the photo I
Speaker 1: just told you's in this thing, which I will retweet
Speaker 1: this story for you, what do you think that grant
Speaker 1: was about? What a big Meani Trump is?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 1: Well, what's weird is they you can actually see what
Speaker 1: the grant's about. I know that's amazing. I will tell
Speaker 1: you what it's about. And let me tell you what
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with that ravaged river bottom,
Speaker 1: that home that's floating, or that road that's in the picture.
Speaker 9: Day he had a Marshall Man riding savage story and
Speaker 9: also a Rick Flair story.
Speaker 1: Okay, fire Arazer, all right, So friend.
Speaker 9: Of mine, I've known this middle school. You know, got
Speaker 9: Conpagress is there in college and they go down the
Speaker 9: Daytona Beach. This would have had to been like spring
Speaker 9: break ninety eight or ninety nine. Oh yeah, and there
Speaker 9: at the ball.
Speaker 5: Absolutely exactly exactly stuff.
Speaker 9: Micho Man and Righty Savage shows up with two drop
Speaker 9: dead gorgeous women's toiletto short skirts.
Speaker 1: Whatever. Sure, yeah, and he starts, you know, buying.
Speaker 9: Drinks to everybody. Everybody's you know, having a good time,
Speaker 9: you know, spring breakdays on the beach, and by like
Speaker 9: nine o'clock he is like just I mean blackout drunks.
Speaker 9: So the girls are trying to like pick him up
Speaker 9: to get him to the cab or whatever. Of course,
Speaker 9: you know they can't do it because the guy's like
Speaker 9: this big ball of muscle. And so my friends actually
Speaker 9: had to help the girls get him into the cab,
Speaker 9: and they had to actually go all the way back
Speaker 9: to his room in order for them to we get
Speaker 9: him in the bed. So they actually put him in
Speaker 9: bed and tuck them in the haven. He was blocked out,
Speaker 9: dropped by nine thirty.
Speaker 1: Did you did they take a picture? I mean he's
Speaker 1: blacked out. They wouldn't notice.
Speaker 9: Well, this was like back before anybody had smartphones or whatever.
Speaker 1: Remember those Remember those horrible yellow disposable cameras. Remember those
Speaker 1: yellow disposable cameras that we had them?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, well but then again you got a
Speaker 9: figure too. If they trying to be you don't want
Speaker 9: to document to.
Speaker 5: You know, a whole lot.
Speaker 1: That's fair. So how's Rick in this?
Speaker 9: So my dad, you know, he had a troubled childhood,
Speaker 9: so you know, I'd have to give him the right
Speaker 9: to look the house every now and then whatever. So uh,
Speaker 9: he was telling me back. So we would go here
Speaker 9: in Southeast Raleigh, and anytime that that wrestling king came
Speaker 9: to town, rich Flood would actually show up quote unquote
Speaker 9: at the liquor house in the hood, I mean in
Speaker 9: in a limo all the jury whatever. And he would
Speaker 9: literally go in there in the liquor house and play
Speaker 9: cards and get drunks.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I am shocked. No, that sounds that sounds
Speaker 1: that sounds on brand.
Speaker 9: Exactly. But yeah, real, I mean real, real cool guy.
Speaker 9: My dad. My dad can say nothing, nothing but good
Speaker 9: things about him. But those guys dating then, they just
Speaker 9: had a different kind of respects, you know, and you
Speaker 9: know in the world that they were, they were down
Speaker 9: the guys.
Speaker 1: You heard the story we were talking about. If you
Speaker 1: just came in and announced your engagement to your coworkers
Speaker 1: and some guy made that statement, you kind of have
Speaker 1: to say something, right, you can't let that go on
Speaker 1: and shot out.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I mean it's Rick, Come on now, it's
Speaker 9: it's Brandy Savage.
Speaker 1: Is is Rick Flair a good card player? Was either
Speaker 1: a hustling your dad or what?
Speaker 9: Well, he had money, so that's all they cared about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting him?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Rick, yeah yeah, Rick Yeah. So Rick Flair was
Speaker 9: he was He was you know, blond hair, blue eyes
Speaker 9: or whatever, but he was. He was a down to
Speaker 9: earth guy, played talk stade all that stuf.
Speaker 1: You mean, down to earth styling and profiling. I don't know, man, Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: love it all right, Albert, thanks for the stories. Appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Now Ross is debating whether what macho man is six
Speaker 1: to one? Would you say that to his face and
Speaker 1: his prime?
Speaker 2: Well not me, no, Albert off the Air said that
Speaker 2: he believed that man wasn't actually six to one. He
Speaker 2: said he's prime more like five a five nine. I
Speaker 2: don't know about that.
Speaker 1: A short king.
Speaker 2: I mean you see him side by side with Hogan,
Speaker 2: and Hogan's like a giant. Obviously, he's smaller than some
Speaker 2: of the wrestlers by.
Speaker 1: Him.
Speaker 2: Of adding interest too, he's like six five sixty six.
Speaker 2: But I'm sure they don't lie about their heights too.
Speaker 1: To the South mid days on WBT in the city
Speaker 1: that is the den of corruption, Charlotte. Good morning, Pete.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm nothing. I'm all right.
Speaker 1: Stolen COVID dollars yet, because apparently it's the thing to
Speaker 1: do now, Man, I was not aware of it.
Speaker 3: This this one, this one.
Speaker 1: Who seen this coming? But who could have seen this coming?
Speaker 3: All right? So no, no, you're exactly right. I asked
Speaker 3: the very same question yesterday when we became aware of
Speaker 3: the federal indictment of a Charlotte City council woman by
Speaker 3: the name of Tijuana Brown. And this woman ran on
Speaker 3: a platform as a this is the new term. I'm
Speaker 3: not sure people are aware of this, but the term
Speaker 3: is a formerly incarcerated person formerly incarcerated, which.
Speaker 1: To remember, we used to call them with houselessness or something.
Speaker 3: Yes, right, yes, right, because we we just used to
Speaker 3: call them convicted silence.
Speaker 1: That was well, But now hold on, I feel like,
Speaker 1: much like CNN told that Jewish student he might be
Speaker 1: conflating Columbia University and the attack that happened the other day,
Speaker 1: we'll get to you might be conflating. I mean it's
Speaker 1: just because she did a crime and did some time.
Speaker 1: I mean, how are you thinking that that that was
Speaker 1: associated with this? I mean, what is your tenuous connection there,
Speaker 1: Pete the throwing the boat.
Speaker 3: Well, she she served four years in federal prison for fraud,
Speaker 3: and now she's accused of engaging in fraud to get
Speaker 3: COVID pandemic money before she was in office. She won
Speaker 3: her seat in twenty three and so yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: if only there were there was some sort of a
Speaker 3: sign that she may engage in in fraud, you know,
Speaker 3: before voters put her into office, maybe they could have
Speaker 3: avoided that.
Speaker 1: But but it wasn't COVID dollars she stole the first
Speaker 1: time around. So right, apples and oranges.
Speaker 3: Buddy, that's you know, that's fair. Now elevate her.
Speaker 1: Daughter's help her the first time. I don't think they did.
Speaker 3: No, they did not. They were not even born at
Speaker 3: the time. One of them was born in the jail,
Speaker 3: in prison. Yes, And so she has been you know,
Speaker 3: in the years after her release, she has worked on
Speaker 3: and you know, criminal justice reform and advocated for the
Speaker 3: formerly incarcerated and such. And that is that all of
Speaker 3: that nonprofit stuff is not associated apparently with her swimwear
Speaker 3: line that she launched just before the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, send me, please, don't send me photos. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 3: Oh they're out there.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Okay. But it's not like, hey, that's just
Speaker 1: a city council member. It's not like your chief of
Speaker 1: police is doing illegal stuff, right.
Speaker 3: Not that I am aware of, no, except but he
Speaker 3: did say that a fight with a former council member
Speaker 3: who's now working for the Trump administration, that a that
Speaker 3: a text message he sent to the chief so defamed him,
Speaker 3: even though nobody saw the text message, that the city
Speaker 3: needed to pay him three hundred thousand dollars or more,
Speaker 3: we don't know. And and so the city council very
Speaker 3: concerned about the publicity and the chance that they may
Speaker 3: lose such a lawsuit, which by the way, was never filed.
Speaker 3: So it was just the threat of a lawsuit that
Speaker 3: then prompts the city council to agree to pay him off,
Speaker 3: even though an ethics complaint that was filed against that
Speaker 3: councilman was dismissed by the very same interim city attorney
Speaker 3: that recommended the city council settle with the chiefs. So
Speaker 3: it's pretty unclear as to why an ethics complaint would
Speaker 3: fail on its merits. But then the city council should
Speaker 3: pay them off three hundred thousand dollars or whatever it is,
Speaker 3: because they won't tell us what the settlement amount is,
Speaker 3: even though they are supposed to. We don't know why
Speaker 3: you would recommend, like, why would why would a defamation
Speaker 3: case that seems based on the information we have to
Speaker 3: be incredibly weak? Yeah, frivolous. Basically, why would you pay
Speaker 3: them off? Except for theory about it? But I suspect
Speaker 3: it was. It all started with this fight last year
Speaker 3: over outer carrier vests that a lot of the rank
Speaker 3: and file cops wanted to wear, and the former councilman,
Speaker 3: Tart Bakari, he put a budget request in for like
Speaker 3: half a million dollars. Democrats did not want to vote
Speaker 3: for that, and so, but they didn't want to come
Speaker 3: out as opposing the rank and file cops because we
Speaker 3: had just seen the murder of four law enforcement officers
Speaker 3: while serving a warrant, So they didn't want to take
Speaker 3: the public position, so they I think they let the
Speaker 3: chief run point on the opposition. He claims, We don't
Speaker 3: want the vest because they're too militaristic, right, so it's
Speaker 3: just purely aesthetic. Yeah, he's like, you got to keep
Speaker 3: the vests under the shirts, but that means you can't
Speaker 3: put other stuff in it. It's heavier, bulkier, restricts your
Speaker 3: movement and all of that. Whereas the outer carrier vests
Speaker 3: you can carry a lot more stuff on the outside.
Speaker 3: It's easier to grab your gear and whatnot. And there
Speaker 3: is there was this debate about its increased effectiveness in
Speaker 3: stopping higher caliber rounds, so that they put him out
Speaker 3: process the point, I would think so, so they didn't
Speaker 3: want to take the public position. Chief becomes the point
Speaker 3: man for the opposition. The FOP weighs in against him,
Speaker 3: and it creates all of this dissension inside of the
Speaker 3: Charlotte Mecklurg Police Department. Meanwhile, the councilman pulls his budget
Speaker 3: request and says, I'm going to make this a public campaign.
Speaker 3: He then raises the money, gets vests donated. With the
Speaker 3: money buys the vest makes them and says, can you
Speaker 3: just at least make these available to officers who ask
Speaker 3: for them? And the chief relents says that's fine, and
Speaker 3: that's the program that was implemented, and then it went
Speaker 3: away and nobody thought anything of it for a year
Speaker 3: until we find out that the city council paid off
Speaker 3: the chief because he got his feelings for it because
Speaker 3: in a private message the councilman, Bakari was like, I'm
Speaker 3: going to ruin your reputation, your legacy, whatever, I'm going
Speaker 3: to go after you full this is not personal, but
Speaker 3: you're on the wrong side of this. And then the
Speaker 3: chief tries to coordinate with the local NAACP chapter president
Speaker 3: to file the ethics complaint. They give her the language,
Speaker 3: they tell her what to look for in a foyer request,
Speaker 3: and that ethics complaint gets submitted. But then Bakari leaves
Speaker 3: goes up to the Trump administration after the ethics complaint
Speaker 3: is dismissed by the city attorney, who advises the council
Speaker 3: to settle even though there's no lawsuit filed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have you guys thought of vetting some of these
Speaker 1: people you have in government up there? Like one day
Speaker 1: you might have egg on your face because let me
Speaker 1: think of a hypothetical, like maybe one day the city
Speaker 1: council starts giving awards for LGBT advocacy, the child molesters
Speaker 1: like nopen no, no, wait no.
Speaker 3: I think that already did. So you're would it happen again?
Speaker 3: That's really that's the fear. Yeah, and the other the.
Speaker 1: One other is just the audience knows that's a real
Speaker 1: thing that happened. Yes, that's what happened.
Speaker 3: We had a mayor about ten years ago go to
Speaker 3: federal prison for taking bribes. So yeah, there's all that happening.
Speaker 3: But one just one other key point was that the complaint,
Speaker 3: the ethics complaint that was dismissed, that was never told
Speaker 3: to this to city council before they voted on the settlement,
Speaker 3: so they did not know that an ethics complaint had
Speaker 3: been dismissed. Oh and one other thing on the Tijuana
Speaker 3: Brown council member who got indicted name, Yeah, why would
Speaker 3: you think it was Wana?
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. Tijuana is just great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tijuana t I A w A N n A
Speaker 3: no no no. Now. Also keep in mind, this is
Speaker 3: not the same Saint Charlit City council member who was
Speaker 3: the nine to eleven conspiracy theorist. That's a different council member.
Speaker 3: That's Wi Wana Mayfield, So that's different okay, but the
Speaker 3: Tijuana Brown The indictment alleges that she and her two
Speaker 3: grown daughters used the PPP loans and these other programs
Speaker 3: at the time of the pandemic to get They applied
Speaker 3: for the loans. They did not get all of the loans,
Speaker 3: but they apparently got like one hundred and twenty five K.
Speaker 3: She claims that she just signed the paperwork, a third
Speaker 3: party filled it out. She wouldn't name who that was,
Speaker 3: and she when she found out that there was quote
Speaker 3: scrutiny about the loan, she paid it back and that
Speaker 3: should be enough. And it's like that's not enough.
Speaker 1: Actually a horse drawn carriage for the super birthday party.
Speaker 3: They would not answer that, so she did a press conference.
Speaker 3: She came out yesterday morning, did a press conference, and
Speaker 3: she said, you know what an innocent person would be.
Speaker 3: What I'm doing answering your questions. And then whenever a
Speaker 3: question would come up about like the expenditures of the
Speaker 3: horse drowng carriage, the throne that we're all part of.
Speaker 1: The throne, I'm sorry, Ross. Did I forgot to say
Speaker 1: that too, didn't I? Yeah, she had a throne.
Speaker 3: She had a throne. She had a horse strong carriage
Speaker 3: she spent. The allegation in the endictment is that she
Speaker 3: dropped fifteen thousand dollars on a fiftieth birthday party. There
Speaker 3: are videos that she posted to her social media from
Speaker 3: the party. It does appear to be an extravagant affair.
Speaker 3: And so, yeah, well, and when anybody asks her about
Speaker 3: any of those questions or the timing, the chronology, you
Speaker 3: know what kind of scrutiny was what prompted her to
Speaker 3: pay back the loan. Then it's like, we're not going
Speaker 3: to try this case in the media. We're going to
Speaker 3: wait for trial, We're going to wait for court. We're
Speaker 3: not telling you any of that. So it's kind of
Speaker 3: like you set up a standard of innocent people answer
Speaker 3: questions and then within a minute, less than a minute,
Speaker 3: you're now saying I'm not answering questions. So if I
Speaker 3: am to apply your standard to this performance, then that
Speaker 3: means you're lying.
Speaker 1: Are you just mad because you don't have a throne?
Speaker 1: Is that what this is about?
Speaker 3: No, I'm actually mad because when I so I lost
Speaker 3: when I was up in Ashville and I got let
Speaker 3: go as part of a round of riffs reductions in force.
Speaker 3: You know, layoffs and stuff, and I lost my job.
Speaker 3: That was January twenty twenty, right right before the pandemic
Speaker 3: hit opened. I started my podcast. People like you were
Speaker 3: very supportive, people of western North Carolina, very supportive. It's
Speaker 3: the only reason that I was able to pay my
Speaker 3: rent and put food on the table. Right, That's it.
Speaker 3: I didn't get any loans. I couldn't qualify for any
Speaker 3: loans because when I read on the loan things like
Speaker 3: the PPP, like do you have employees? I do not,
Speaker 3: So I could not apply for any of these things.
Speaker 3: And it burns me when I see people that are
Speaker 3: in a similar we're in a similar position as I
Speaker 3: was that then abused that system that I did not,
Speaker 3: I could not, I would not. And so yeah, this
Speaker 3: one's a little bit, this one angers me a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, do you think we'll ever understand the full scope
Speaker 1: of the front that was committed with that program.
Speaker 3: No, they're still they're still, uh, you know, trying to
Speaker 3: claw back some of the money and and doing charges,
Speaker 3: I mean the right and one.
Speaker 9: Of the things that brown.
Speaker 1: The amount of is insane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, hundreds of billions of dollars. It's yeah, it's
Speaker 3: nuts and and she I think she and her she
Speaker 3: had somebody with her. I don't know who it was,
Speaker 3: but he they there. It seems to me they're about
Speaker 3: to play the race card they made they made. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they made a couple of references to you know, that
Speaker 3: looks like.
Speaker 9: Me, you know when and when a politician says that.
Speaker 3: And they kept pointing out this Gaston County restaurant called
Speaker 3: Hillbilly Barbecue where they were ordered to pay one and
Speaker 3: a half million dollars in a settlement for misusing pandemic
Speaker 3: relief funds. But they kept pointing out that that was
Speaker 3: a civil proceeding and that there was a settlement offered
Speaker 3: to that guy, and why did he get it? And
Speaker 3: with me, it's going to be a criminal indictment, Like
Speaker 3: what's the deal with that? And I don't know, but
Speaker 3: I suspect it might have something to do with the
Speaker 3: maybe a new US attorney under Profit.
Speaker 1: Mitry possibly be it. Yeah, or when they first approached
Speaker 1: and the guy decided to pay the money back. I
Speaker 1: wonder how long they've been chatting with her?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. And she wouldn't talk. She would not
Speaker 3: speak at all about any of the timeline on how
Speaker 3: she was approached or when she knew the charges were
Speaker 3: coming because WBTV here in Charlotte has been digging into
Speaker 3: this apparently for a while. And did that prompt her repayment?
Speaker 3: Was that the scrutiny that she was talking about, or
Speaker 3: was she made aware by federal prosecutors that they were
Speaker 3: getting ready to or had just indicted her?
Speaker 1: Well, let me, let me, let me do this because
Speaker 1: I have to filip too. I got to flip to
Speaker 1: the shooting up in Washington.
Speaker 3: Do it all right?
Speaker 1: So I've been I was warned yesterday by AOC and
Speaker 1: others that were not to jump to conclusions here. And
Speaker 1: just because the guy was holding a red Hamas howl
Speaker 1: head thingy and screaming free, free Palestine and saying I
Speaker 1: did it, we should not infer a motive.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: No, we may never know the motive in this.
Speaker 1: You may never know. Now we find out he wrote
Speaker 1: a manifesto and it basically says all the same stuff
Speaker 1: his father. Did you see his dad went to the
Speaker 1: State of the Union as a guest of a Democrat congressman. No, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a New York top story in the New York
Speaker 1: Post right now, if you want to go look at it.
Speaker 1: Chewy Garcia.
Speaker 3: Rep.
Speaker 1: Garcia is a giant moonbats. He's squat eduction. I had
Speaker 1: this guy's father as his guest for a joint It
Speaker 1: was in the State of the Union. It was the
Speaker 1: thing they keep calling the joint address the technically in
Speaker 1: the State of the Union, but whatever. Yeah, I had
Speaker 1: this guy because he's a big, big SEIU government employee,
Speaker 1: union dude.
Speaker 3: And again we may never know the motive.
Speaker 1: And CNN this reporter sitting down with this student who
Speaker 1: witnessed the shooting or was there at the shooting. He
Speaker 1: witnessed the aftermath and was a grad student at Columbia,
Speaker 1: so he saw that. I wanted the audacity of CNN
Speaker 1: in this interview to say.
Speaker 6: This, can you give us any sense because you said
Speaker 6: you look the shooter in the eyes, Can you give
Speaker 6: us any sense of what you saw in him as
Speaker 6: he was sort of getting help and people were tending
Speaker 6: to him as if he too was a victim of
Speaker 6: seeing this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would just be clear.
Speaker 7: I like heard about that part because we were in
Speaker 7: a secure room when he initially walked in. I just
Speaker 7: saw him screaming and then being handcuffed.
Speaker 2: But what I saw in his eyes.
Speaker 7: I mean, I went to Columbia for grads.
Speaker 1: Go on.
Speaker 7: I saw the same thing in his eyes as I
Speaker 7: saw in the eyes of all the protesters at Columbia.
Speaker 2: Nothing different between him and them.
Speaker 6: But they did not create this horrific shooting. They did not,
Speaker 6: you know, sort of they didn't shoot the.
Speaker 7: The permission and it just.
Speaker 1: Gets where it just does. It gets so much worse.
Speaker 1: But you can get the gist of it. So how
Speaker 1: dare he? I got about forty five seconds? What say you? Now?
Speaker 3: What what did you think globalized the Intofada meant when
Speaker 3: they were standing.
Speaker 1: Out a Columbia marketing plan.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, River to the Sea, Yes, I
Speaker 3: don't know these things. Like at some point people on
Speaker 3: the left who are not psychopathic murderers or don't want
Speaker 3: to be around psychopathic murderers in their political movement. Democrats
Speaker 3: in the left need to excise this cancer. This has
Speaker 3: been going on for years and when they tell you
Speaker 3: who they are, believe them when they say globalize the Intifada,
Speaker 3: a massive terrorist campaign. That's what they're talking about. This
Speaker 3: is what they're talking about. So absolutely, yes, you are responsible.
Speaker 1: I gotta let you go. You're jumping to judgment, you're
Speaker 1: jumping to conclusions. So we'll do this now.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I will never know the motive did he trial?
Speaker 3: A lot of it?
Speaker 1: I can't even then. I can't get into like I
Speaker 1: could do the Obama ecstasy pills the other day, and
Speaker 1: I could do a little bit about the uh the
Speaker 1: jigelow named the punisher, but I couldn't get into details.
Speaker 1: I could tell you that the baby oil was laced
Speaker 1: with some sort of date rape drug according to some
Speaker 1: of the testimony, but I can't get into the real salacious,
Speaker 1: freak off stuff. However, yesterday I saw what might be
Speaker 1: among the most disturbing Diddy trial updates. I'm gonna share
Speaker 1: it with you. I will be delicate, but yeh, and
Speaker 1: then I just what did I? Where did I put
Speaker 1: this story?
Speaker 3: Here we go?
Speaker 1: Here we go. A former assistant to Sean Diddy Combs
Speaker 1: was on his name is what is this guy's name?
Speaker 1: George Caplan. He was basically his his get it done guy,
Speaker 1: right his minion. So if he needed a yacht rented,
Speaker 1: Kaplan would handle it. Kaplan had he had authorization on
Speaker 1: the black MX card, that did he had? And if
Speaker 1: he got one of those, you pretty much get whatever
Speaker 1: you want, so he would go out. He would do
Speaker 1: everything from procuring large quantities of baby oil to yacht
Speaker 1: leases to finding villas when they travel. And then the
Speaker 1: testimony took a very disgusting turn when Caplan testified about
Speaker 1: Diddy's eating habits. Now, two things. The first one is
Speaker 1: did he thought European condiments sucked? So anytime he traveled
Speaker 1: outside of the US, captain was required to essentially transport
Speaker 1: a cooler full of condiments because americn catch up is
Speaker 1: better mustard all of that stuff. I mean, all right, Ross, yeah,
Speaker 1: you would agree that's a good point. Also, he likes
Speaker 1: apple sauce on his cheeseburgers.
Speaker 2: What yeah, see the headline. What's the headline?
Speaker 1: The headline is like jurorsy bombshell? Did he trial learn
Speaker 1: disgusting way he liked his burgers At.
Speaker 2: This point, I just assumed it was with baby oil
Speaker 2: in yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, we don't have enough of the Uh hold on, now,
Speaker 1: you know you put twice as much baby oil as
Speaker 1: you did, Uh, come on, man, And then you gotta
Speaker 1: go all abby klobashar and throw the food at him
Speaker 1: and then like she did with this salad. Whatever the
Speaker 1: boss wants, whatever the boss wants, don't don't want to
Speaker 1: end up like Biggie. Apparently Ross is all over that theory. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: so Combs apparently put apple sauce on everything. What is
Speaker 1: apple sauce good on? Can you name something? I can
Speaker 1: name something about to say? Pork chops? Yeah, cinnamon apple, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they got that. I can't remember the name of that
Speaker 1: restaurant that's over by crap Tree. Now it's the Texas Chain.
Speaker 1: They have a pork chop that is the best pork
Speaker 1: chop you'll ever have.
Speaker 2: You know, it's the old Brady Buddy Brady bunch of quote.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sauce yeah, so you so you gotta try it on
Speaker 1: your cheeseburger.
Speaker 5: Now I will not.
Speaker 2: You know, it's good on a cheeseburger. It's like a
Speaker 2: nice like fried egg.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, dude, fried egg, some good pickles, some
Speaker 1: good uh like the pickle we not the wedges, but
Speaker 1: the yeah, some some of that rilled onions and some
Speaker 1: mustard bab and I'm a happy camp bur Bacon yeah,
Speaker 1: oh bacon, yeah, absolutely, yeah. But you throw a fried
Speaker 1: egg on there, I'm all over there.
Speaker 2: And then some baby oil and some what is the
Speaker 2: what is is that apple sauce?
Speaker 1: Or bleeping? Is it so gross? It's something else? But
Speaker 1: just it doesn't sound good to anybody.
Speaker 2: It's crazy to me. Like, the more time goes on
Speaker 2: that Dave Chappelle did he skit, it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he nailed it completely. Remember when he sends him out
Speaker 2: for the Cambodian breast milk, Hey man, like a whole competition.
Speaker 2: He's like drinking it and stuff.
Speaker 1: Chappelle was up on this though. He does a whole
Speaker 1: bit about why he was never at any of his parties.
Speaker 2: Did you see this?
Speaker 1: Chapelle was in one of his stand up skins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you go back and you watch that skit now
Speaker 2: and it takes something like it has a completely different meaning.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But one of his Netflix specials he does a
Speaker 1: bit about hey, Dave, why are you never at the
Speaker 1: didty parties? And he's like, eh, yes, you know, yes,
Speaker 1: you know it was too Yeah. I think the skit
Speaker 1: is do you think I'm so unpopular I wouldn't get
Speaker 1: invited or do you think something else was going on?
Speaker 1: But then the question is all these celebrities who did
Speaker 1: avoid it like, what did they know? And I guess
Speaker 1: from Chappelle he knows that he likes camboni and breast
Speaker 1: milk though, and app down you put apple sauce on
Speaker 1: the Cambodian breastmolker or not for some of that, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, full disclosure. I've never like spent any time actually
Speaker 2: behind the scenes in hip hop, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, you went to a music producer's house that one time.
Speaker 2: That was was the same That was David Foster. He
Speaker 2: was high class weirdo so oh okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1: They're all lunatics out in La Man. I tell you that.
Speaker 1: One of the weirdest thing, one of the weirdest things
Speaker 1: for me, especially being a kid from Wyoming, because I
Speaker 1: was able to get this gig doing the concert stage
Speaker 1: hand stuff. A lot of the promoter you know, you'd
Speaker 1: have to interact with the promoters. They're all driving porsches, right,
Speaker 1: They're all big Southern California music promoters, music producers, and
Speaker 1: they're all the weirdest people you've ever met. It's just
Speaker 1: it's a mindset out there, and it just I remember
Speaker 1: how off it felt to me just being a kid
Speaker 1: from Wyoming.
Speaker 2: I remember how weird it felt they took us from
Speaker 2: the like the pre like the bus, the tour bus
Speaker 2: that was taking us around town to David Foster's house,
Speaker 2: and they put us on these golf carts to go
Speaker 2: up to get to the house, to get to the house.
Speaker 2: Right from this, it took forever, and I felt like
Speaker 2: we were going to be hunted or something like it
Speaker 2: was going to be like a new show, like we
Speaker 2: we took twenty DJs from across the country. It's Dahn
Speaker 2: Foster's blood sport.
Speaker 1: Like it's like a Truman It's like a gritty Truman show. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd want no offense. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see you hunted, but i'd watch that show. You know,
Speaker 1: there's some people in radio that frankly would be fun
Speaker 1: to watch them hunted, not killed, just hunted like with
Speaker 1: the you know, like tasers. Right, Yeah, I'm sure. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've interacted with a few over the years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, that guy could use a good tasin. So yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd watch that show. I'd watch the heck out of
Speaker 1: that show. Oh man, all right, so uh there you go,
Speaker 1: Apple sauce on Hamburgers. Yeah, has anybody ever tried that? Well?
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you. If you've tried that
Speaker 1: and want to defend it, don't just call in. But
Speaker 1: oh it's gross eight eight eight nine three four seven
Speaker 1: eight seven four is what is? What did he saying? True?
Speaker 1: Or we're all missing out on hamburgers on apple you
Speaker 1: know they have apple sauce and I'm sure they have
Speaker 1: something that appears to be a hamburger in prison, so
Speaker 1: we'll be able to do that. So he's got that
Speaker 1: going for him. And check this out. Uh So this
Speaker 1: I saw this as part of a list like a
Speaker 1: listicle they did of some new tech when they do
Speaker 1: they have the CSC which is the big consumer show,
Speaker 1: and then they have the other one that's going on
Speaker 1: right now and these they have these new contact lenses
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to figure out what they're for. All right,
Speaker 1: so nanoscientists and material scientists from the University of Science
Speaker 1: and Technology in China, Well, it probably bursts into flames
Speaker 1: where you put them in your eyes. So they are
Speaker 1: transparent contact lenses, so they don't mess with your eye color. However,
Speaker 1: they allow you to see both infrared and visible lights.
Speaker 1: So think of think of like you know, like the
Speaker 1: goggles are soldiers where snap to their helmet, where they
Speaker 1: can you know, see things in low light conditions and
Speaker 1: even through infrared and with some of the tech out there,
Speaker 1: these would be literally contact lenses and they even work
Speaker 1: when your eyes are closed. What ross do you have
Speaker 1: a need for contact lenses where you can see everything
Speaker 1: around you like the predator while your eyes are closed.
Speaker 2: Nothing comes to mind.
Speaker 1: I mean, who's asking for this?
Speaker 2: That could have been really cool in like my parting
Speaker 2: days in my early twenties or something. You pass out
Speaker 2: drunk or something, and wait, you have no idea what's
Speaker 2: going on when you wake up and my eyes open?
Speaker 2: I have no idea?
Speaker 1: Well, I thought of one used. Let's say you're really
Speaker 1: itching to shoot a robber, right, so what you want
Speaker 1: to do is you want to get some of these
Speaker 1: a pistole of your choice and some of your valuables,
Speaker 1: maybe scattered around on your porch, maybe wearing flashy jewelry,
Speaker 1: and pretend to be sleeping on the swingy chair. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you're not sleeping. You don't have to sleep with one
Speaker 1: eye open. I mean to pop these bad boys. Ind
Speaker 1: do they have the ability to record? Because that could
Speaker 1: actually be pretty like a like a pretty cool safety thing.
Speaker 1: Like you're if you're falling asleep alone and you're afraid
Speaker 1: someone's gonna, you know, sneak in and stab you to
Speaker 1: death or something like they can. Okay, like it like
Speaker 1: a like a door, but like a like a door
Speaker 1: cameraing whatever for your face. All right, So if you're
Speaker 1: so paranoid you think that there's a monster in your room,
Speaker 1: would you want to be proven correct?
Speaker 2: No, but I'm saying there's something horrible to happen to me.
Speaker 2: They'd have the evidence. They'd be like, how look, we
Speaker 2: took the things out of his eyeballs and there's here's
Speaker 2: the guy that stabbed him. Casey stabbed him twenty times
Speaker 2: in the chest. Guilty, said I think the video was manipulated. Actually,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna go with the defense of that congress woman.
Speaker 2: Clearly manipulated video. All right, let's you have Ken Boone's
Speaker 2: down with the the the Diddy Burger. Hey, ken Boone
Speaker 2: from the Weather Channel. I was just reading one of
Speaker 2: the more disturbing things from the Diddy to testimony. This
Speaker 2: dude loves the apple sauce on his hamburgers.
Speaker 1: Oh right, Oh, what is going this is? They should
Speaker 1: get he should get five additional years for that. This
Speaker 1: man off the street, this maniac.
Speaker 2: All right, so you're a no.
Speaker 1: We'll write Ken Boon down for a no. All right. Uh,
Speaker 1: what do you got for weather, sir? Is it good
Speaker 1: that apple sauce, hamburger grilling weather? This weekend?
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a couple of really nice days today
Speaker 5: and tomorrow. We might have to dodge some showers and
Speaker 5: storms late Sunday and for Memorial Day though, to keep
Speaker 5: that in mind if you have any outdoor plans. But
Speaker 5: sunshine today, a little cooler than yesterday, a bit of
Speaker 5: a west breeze, heights mid seventies fifty tonight, sunshine tomorrow,
Speaker 5: the clowns begin to increase late in the day, upper seventies.
Speaker 5: Tomorrow afternoon Sunday is one will bring a chance for
Speaker 5: mainly late day showers and storms and high temperatures in
Speaker 5: the upper part of the seventies. Chance for showers on
Speaker 5: Memorial Day again, I think the best chance will be
Speaker 5: late with highs on Monday in the mid seventies.
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, have a good three day weekend, sir,
Speaker 1: you too, All right, there you go, Ken Boon from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel Ross, what do you think Jeff Bellinger
Speaker 1: apple sauce on burger or Nay, that might be a
Speaker 1: little too wild.
Speaker 2: He's probably never heard of a burger before. Well, that's
Speaker 2: a good point. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll test that theory when we chat with
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger and your calls coming up next.
Speaker 2: Well, good morning, KC.
Speaker 8: So much for a quiet pre holiday Friday session on
Speaker 8: Wall Street. Things were pretty calm, but then a social
Speaker 8: media posts from the White House turned the future sharply lower.
Speaker 8: President Trump is threatening to lower the tariff boom on
Speaker 8: Apple and the European Union. Mister Trump says Apple iPhones
Speaker 8: made outside the US should be subject to twenty five
Speaker 8: percent levies, and he is recommending a fifty percent tariff
Speaker 8: on the EU starting June first. So the futures are
Speaker 8: sharply lower, as I said, the S and P futures
Speaker 8: down eighty points, Nasdaq futures down three hundred and seventy eight,
Speaker 8: and the futures down five hundred five. The London based
Speaker 8: social media platform only Fans is reportedly in talks with
Speaker 8: the Los Angeles investment firm interested in buying the site.
Speaker 8: Reuters reports, Forest Road Company and only Fans are discussing
Speaker 8: a deal that could be worth around eight billion dollars.
Speaker 8: Only Fans is known for hosting adult content, but it
Speaker 8: has been working to attract less explicit material. The last
Speaker 8: of the Joe Anne Fabric stores will be closed by
Speaker 8: the end of this month. The bankrupt retailer closed more
Speaker 8: than two hundred fifty locations last month and says the
Speaker 8: remaining four hundred forty stores will be shuttered a week
Speaker 8: from tomorrow. Movie theater operators have high hopes for Memorial
Speaker 8: Day weekend. The Paramount Global film Mission Impossible. The Final

Speaker 8: carrier that was commissioned in two thousand and nine. And
Speaker 8: First Lady Milania Trump is releasing an audio book version
Speaker 8: of her memoir Milania has been in bookstores since October.
Speaker 8: The audio book version is narrated entirely by artificial intelligence,
Speaker 8: using Missus Trump's voice. The social media posting by the
Speaker 8: First Lady says it is the future of publishing.
Speaker 1: Casey all right, Jeff Hey, Jeff I got to ask
Speaker 1: you some it's kind of our quiz for the day.
Speaker 1: I don't know how close you're following the Ditty trial.
Speaker 1: I'm not disturbing stuff. However, yesterday it was testified that
Speaker 1: Ditty's hamburger of choice is with apple sauce on it.
Speaker 1: Have you ever eaten an apple sauce hamburger?
Speaker 3: I have not.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the weirdest thing you like on a burger?
