Speaker 1: We are as radio people were all Gerbils in a
Speaker 1: scientific study, and they've just created one of those mazes.
Speaker 1: So that is my theory. They have obstructed the main
Speaker 1: routing for the morning show radio studios RUSS and I
Speaker 1: studio to the bathroom, and it's not okay, so much
Speaker 1: construction going on right now. So yeah, I think they're
Speaker 1: studying to see what happens. I guess if somebody's got
Speaker 1: to figure alternate routing to the now. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: If it was like that and we were maintaining the
Speaker 1: same footprint of space, it would be good because then
Speaker 1: salespeople couldn't walk down to the studio. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Ross, That would be fine, but.
Speaker 2: No, I understand.
Speaker 1: Ye, what what is with your audio?
Speaker 3: This?
Speaker 1: What's with your say something?
Speaker 2: Hello?
Speaker 1: You know you sound like you're in the Greensboro studio
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I'm actually I'm in a I'm at home today, okay,
Speaker 2: and the weather was so bad the snow that I
Speaker 2: set up a makeshift studio in my house, so I'm
Speaker 2: actually in the U in the storage area.
Speaker 1: Does it sound okay, No, it sounds it's it sounds unique.
Speaker 1: I guess would be.
Speaker 2: So I can't really do much today. So it was
Speaker 2: the weather was so bad.
Speaker 1: You know you threatened this yesterday, you said you weren't
Speaker 1: gonna be on the air. There's snow and then let's
Speaker 1: see here, let me just let me jump away.
Speaker 2: Durham schools are just closed. So yeah, and.
Speaker 1: Then it's what early really, well, it's not. It's it's
Speaker 1: all early release for your kid. It's not even in school.
Speaker 2: I can't say next gend of the phones or I'm
Speaker 2: doing my best. I'm I'm here because my work ethic
Speaker 2: is so impeccable that I couldn't miss a day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I'm here, but not really here. So it's kind
Speaker 2: of you're on your own. I see, okay, is it
Speaker 2: not that bad? And Raleigh because my street it's bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well there's a giant at at coming down the
Speaker 1: street Greece and people like that one time on Glenwood Avenue.
Speaker 1: So strap my phone. It's probably not good.
Speaker 2: You don't want to ruin your microphone. It'll sound bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay. So yeah, because it's weird because you sent me, uh,
Speaker 1: at five o'clock yesterday, you sent me a photo.
Speaker 2: I just posted the photo on my Twitter and retweet
Speaker 2: that I barely have Wi Fi because it's just the
Speaker 2: snow is so bad here and wake Forth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so it's just so Raleigh, which doesn't have
Speaker 1: any snow.
Speaker 2: Right, it was a freak event. It's just I can't
Speaker 2: come in, so I'm at home.
Speaker 1: So if I was to head just a couple miles
Speaker 1: north of the studio, you're telling me it's a frozen.
Speaker 2: Oh it's horrible. Yeah, yeah, it's it's like, uh, it's
Speaker 2: like Greenland.
Speaker 1: So if I was to ask listeners who live in
Speaker 1: wake Forest, it really it really depends where.
Speaker 2: And we're in wake Forest. Like if you go to
Speaker 2: my neighbor Reid, who's right down the street who listens
Speaker 2: to the show, yeah, he'll probably vouch for me because
Speaker 2: he's probably in the same situation and he's a good dude.
Speaker 1: Right, So just in your neighborhood, was.
Speaker 2: This Bill next to me, Bill who is an older gentleman,
Speaker 2: and I take out his trash every Thursday. He probably
Speaker 2: at my back too, would be like, yeah, definitely snow there.
Speaker 1: Well it might be because you take out his trash
Speaker 1: every Thursday, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: Chris across the street, you know, yeah, I take care
Speaker 2: of his launch. So he's probably there's another guy you
Speaker 2: shared a pet with or something. Yeah, sure did took
Speaker 2: care of his cat before it passed away. Yeah it,
Speaker 2: he'll vouch for me.
Speaker 1: Okay. But if others, let's say, if they're up by,
Speaker 1: I don't know, not in your neighborhood, they might tell
Speaker 1: me there's no snow.
Speaker 2: Probably yeah it's a freak occurrence. I could not come in.
Speaker 2: Or they're just because it does does it not sound? Okay, no,
Speaker 2: it sounds.
Speaker 1: It sounds you exactly like when I'm in Greensboro.
Speaker 2: So oh sounds like super expensive.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, you guys know from a nightmare fuel perspective,
Speaker 1: like they want to do that to my microphone. So
Speaker 1: just let you know. That's a whole other thing. Oh
Speaker 1: jeez man, what an absolute day. Wait what is this
Speaker 1: thing fighting with me for? All right? Oh? Maybe Ross
Speaker 1: is right. I don't know, my stupid next gen's fighting me.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's affected by this snow or something going on
Speaker 1: up in wake Forest. All right, we'll try this here
Speaker 1: in just a moment, all right, So so there you go.
Speaker 1: Ross is just trying to survive the snow apocalypse. Is
Speaker 1: that maybe that's the word we're going with. We'll ask
Speaker 1: Ray a little later what the actual name of the
Speaker 1: storm that is terrorizing poor Ross is. But you know,
Speaker 1: we're still gonna We're gonna do this thing as we
Speaker 1: do there. I mean, it's so weird this way.
Speaker 2: I might have to stay in on Monday as well.
Speaker 1: Oh you think it might have impacted Well, it's funny
Speaker 1: because next Monday is a work day, but the Monday
Speaker 1: after that is a holiday, right, and an inauguration?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: I don't really focus on time off, you know, because
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm all about work.
Speaker 1: Soever, the vacation schedule comes out, you print it giant
Speaker 1: and you tape it to your window facing outwards.
Speaker 2: That's for you.
Speaker 4: Is it just for me?
Speaker 1: It's not to tell sales what's up? No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, huh, that's that's me. You know what you
Speaker 1: should do in this emergency situation. You should track down
Speaker 1: the governor of California and get him to call the
Speaker 1: president for you. Have you have you even considered that.
Speaker 2: I'm on the phone with Biden right now.
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Can I see it? Can I listen
Speaker 1: to it?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: You cannot, But but I want to hear what you're
Speaker 1: doing for me? Ross, Yeah, yeah, but you're not. Your
Speaker 1: phone's not to your ear either, and it's not on.
Speaker 1: So like, there's some some clues that I'm seeing right there,
Speaker 1: because it sounds very similar to the conversation that woman
Speaker 1: had with Gavin Newsom yesterday. If you guys didn't hear it, allow.
Speaker 5: Me, governor, you got a second.
Speaker 1: So the governor of California is just about to jump
Speaker 1: into one of his state funded Chevy Tahoes or suburbans
Speaker 1: or whatever that is. And this woman who lives in
Speaker 1: this neighborhood, I you know, people are like, oh, her
Speaker 1: agenda was, she doesn't like Newsome. You know what, I'll
Speaker 1: bet if you did a poll of Newsom's favorability and
Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades right now, it's not good. Okay, So the
Speaker 1: water carrying's got to stop, so she's gonna come up
Speaker 1: because she sees them. He's walking around the neighborhood. They're
Speaker 1: taking pictures, and this is the exchange that happens. It's
Speaker 1: so and he's and he's he's he's caught. There's nothing
Speaker 1: he can do because there are photographers there, there is
Speaker 1: a news camera there. Like he's cooked. He can't just
Speaker 1: be like go away woman, right, he has and and
Speaker 1: she's not like politically harassing him. She's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is why I would ever vote for you. And Caruso,
Speaker 1: the guy who was the runner up in the mayor's
Speaker 1: race to Miss Bass whose properties are the only things
Speaker 1: still standing in Pacific Palisades, by the way, it's not that.
Speaker 1: And he is, he just there's nothing he can do.
Speaker 1: All of the slickness that defines Gavin Newsom does him
Speaker 1: no good in this situation, because she's not politically harassing him.
Speaker 1: She's begging for help, and she's pointing out what her
Speaker 1: and her neighbors are with and her have in her
Speaker 1: kid's school which just burned down. And he is I'll
Speaker 1: bet you I wonder how many of his schedulers or
Speaker 1: staffers he raged on after this interaction. All right, you're
Speaker 1: ready for this. This is how you're starting your morning.
Speaker 1: Here we go, Governor.
Speaker 6: You got a second.
Speaker 7: Governor, Governor, I live here.
Speaker 1: Governor, that was my daughter's school.
Speaker 2: Governor, please tell me what you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hurt on my promise.
Speaker 8: Literally talking to the president right now.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing too, they're getting ready to taze
Speaker 1: this woman for rolling up. They're getting ready to give
Speaker 1: her a little of the Zeus juice, right because they
Speaker 1: don't know what and she's just she's just a small woman.
Speaker 1: Not picking on her. She's just like, there's nothing. Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom's a big dude. She's got nothing in her hands.
Speaker 1: She just wants to talk to him. And they're getting
Speaker 1: ready to, you know, pancake this woman and hit her
Speaker 1: with the Edison medicine. Ross, what do you like more
Speaker 1: Zeus juice or Edison medicine to describe tasing of individuals.
Speaker 1: I like the Zeus juice, Zeus juice more than Edison medicine.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, you don't like Edison. I forgot Ross
Speaker 1: is uh.
Speaker 2: Now you know what he did to the elephants, so
Speaker 2: I well, I mean you got to show people that
Speaker 2: that was an attack on the GOP. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's a good point there. Anyway, Sorry, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go with Zeus juice. So they're getting ready to
Speaker 1: give this woman the Zeus juice, and just the whole
Speaker 1: thing is a politician's worst nightmare.
Speaker 5: Governor, you got a second.
Speaker 1: Governor, Governor, I live here governor.
Speaker 2: That was my daughter's school.
Speaker 5: Governor.
Speaker 1: Please tell me what you're gonna do.
Speaker 9: But I'm not gonna hurt on my promise.
Speaker 8: I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically
Speaker 8: answer the question of what we can do.
Speaker 1: And he's holding a that's not on or not unlocked
Speaker 1: and doing stuff right you know, we're on the lock screen. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's just holding the phone there now. His reasoning and
Speaker 1: what he's saying might be accurate, but that's because the
Speaker 1: fire burned everything, including the cell phone towers for you
Speaker 1: and your daughter?
Speaker 10: Can I hear it? Can I hear your call?
Speaker 1: Because I don't believe it?
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, can I there's literally I've tried five times.
Speaker 8: That's why I'm walking.
Speaker 2: Around to make ident not taking your call because it's
Speaker 2: not going through.
Speaker 1: Why I have to get self service.
Speaker 2: Let's get it, let's get it.
Speaker 7: I want to be here when you call the President.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm doing that right now, and it's to.
Speaker 8: Immediately get reimbursements, individual assistance, and.
Speaker 1: To help you on the devast looking for all the
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty dollars ross. Hypothetically, let's say you
Speaker 1: had a five million dollar mansion. Actually, I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know what your henge is worth. But let's
Speaker 1: say you had that and now you don't. Right, it's
Speaker 1: all gone. Was seven hundred and fifty dollars fixt that.
Speaker 1: Do we know?
Speaker 2: I can do the math here, I don't think so
Speaker 2: non do this. I am broadcasting from home.
Speaker 1: You're not. You're a studio.
Speaker 2: I'm at home because the snow was so bad. I
Speaker 2: posted in your studio. I posted photo the parking lot.
Speaker 2: You're in your studio and that's happening. Photo I posted
Speaker 2: of the storm on my straight in wick Forest, which
Speaker 2: is the reason I can't come in. It was so
Speaker 2: iconic that shutter Shock already like buploaded it. That's why
Speaker 2: it says that on the bottom of the photo.
Speaker 1: I see it's just licensed at this right. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm in my store historical nature. Yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 1: So my point is seven fitty ain't getna cover.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, especially for your daughter.
Speaker 2: I have four kids.
Speaker 1: Everyone who went to school there.
Speaker 4: They lost their homes.
Speaker 7: They lost two homes because they were living in one building.
Speaker 11: Another letter, Please tell me, tell me what are you
Speaker 11: going to do with the president?
Speaker 8: Right now getting we're getting the resources to help rebuild.
Speaker 1: Is there no water in the hydrants?
Speaker 4: Governor?
Speaker 8: It's all literally?
Speaker 9: Is it going to be.
Speaker 1: Different next time? It has to be has to be
Speaker 1: of course, what.
Speaker 3: Are you going to do to fill the hydrants?
Speaker 1: I would fill them up personally.
Speaker 11: You know that I would fill off the hydrants myself.
Speaker 4: But would you do that? I would do whatever I can,
Speaker 4: but you're not.
Speaker 8: I see the Do you know there's water dripping over there?
Speaker 10: Governor?
Speaker 1: There's water coming out there? You can use it.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
Speaker 8: I'm going to make the call to address everything I
Speaker 8: can right now, including making sure people to make.
Speaker 1: Sure you can I have an opportunity to at least
Speaker 1: tell people what you're doing, what you're saying you're doing.
Speaker 5: Can somebody have a contact?
Speaker 1: Can I have your contact right now? And then they
Speaker 1: get the peasant patrol out so that she's not making
Speaker 1: the governor uncomfortable?
Speaker 12: Ross?
Speaker 1: Do you realize what you've started? I'm on the Twitter
Speaker 1: feed right now and now people are posting pictures of
Speaker 1: what is clearly a Star Wars movie and it's Burlington.
Speaker 2: Do you they probably shouldn't go into work today?
Speaker 1: No, this is not a way for people to get
Speaker 1: out of work.
Speaker 2: Man, I mean it's weather. We're still in morning from
Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter, you know, are we? I mean climate change
Speaker 2: is real.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think a lot of people when they heard
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter died were like he was still alive. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be honest here, because I happen to
Speaker 1: see people post that, so.
Speaker 2: Okay, can't work today.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, I just saw who posted the Star
Speaker 1: Wars thing. It's hard that harbinger who posts fake photos
Speaker 1: of the boone big beer. So anyway, he's not to
Speaker 1: be trusted. So, and there's somebody photoshopped you into a
Speaker 1: virtual teams meeting. Actually, let me explain something to you,
Speaker 1: Martin who wrote this. That's not how Ross does a
Speaker 1: team's meeting because he doesn't call in on teams. He
Speaker 1: calls in on his phone and there's not even a
Speaker 1: logo because there ain't no cameras happening. So you got
Speaker 1: you got a little wrong. And then some one of
Speaker 1: our listeners who's always in Yo. Actually I know who
Speaker 1: that guy is. He sends me pictures of Wyoming. He's
Speaker 1: a truck driver, and so I believe him when he
Speaker 1: says it's minus eleven with windchill, because that's normal January there.
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, well that's what we're dealing with today,
Speaker 1: but you will make the best of it. Even though
Speaker 1: there's not an ounce of snow around the radio station.
Speaker 1: It's just so weird. We got Pete calendar coming up.
Speaker 1: We'll see if it's a blizzard in Charlotte or midday
Speaker 1: buddy down on w b T and uh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: If you're Gavin newsoid Man, that's nightmare fuel that woman
Speaker 1: walking up to you and almost got it, almost got
Speaker 1: crazy with your security, like dah, we should probably shoot
Speaker 1: this woman twenty times or whatever because she not. And
Speaker 1: I saw people like, she's only doing it to embarrass him.
Speaker 1: That was my That was the comment that just made
Speaker 1: me lose my mind. She's only doing it to embarrass him.
Speaker 1: She's standing in front of the school her kids go to,
Speaker 1: and she lives in the neighborhood there that he's touring.
Speaker 1: There's a chance she's a Republican operative, I guess, but
Speaker 1: probably not really. Did you see all of you see
Speaker 1: the Hollywood stars revolting? I think Ross, you're the one
Speaker 1: who brought this up yesterday when you were still able
Speaker 1: to make it into the station where you were like, ah,
Speaker 1: what are the what are the Hollywood people gonna do?
Speaker 1: Like Hollywood people are openly and actively revolting against Newsom
Speaker 1: and in small part Democrats posting on their social media.
Speaker 1: It's it's that's how bad you know it is if
Speaker 1: the Hollywood crew are willing to start questioning their political affinity.
Speaker 1: And yet that's where we are. So we'll get into that.
Speaker 1: We'll finally hear even though she pretended she couldn't speak yesterday,
Speaker 1: from the mayor of Los Angeles, Mayor Bass, who's not pleased,
Speaker 1: and so much more coming up, hang on back in
Speaker 1: a few So this is this is the big tech
Speaker 1: show in Vegas, right what is it called? See whatever?
Speaker 1: Right where they got all the gadget And don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, I'm a big fan and I also love
Speaker 1: the fact that it happens. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: always happens at the same time, but that it it
Speaker 1: like at the same time the big tech shows going
Speaker 1: on is the like the Adult Film Awards show or
Speaker 1: the adult Film conference see like like at the convention
Speaker 1: center there you got nerds and porn stars so interesting.
Speaker 1: But that being said, you know, robots are a thing,
Speaker 1: and they're interviewing this dude who has this five foot
Speaker 1: two blonde, very busty robot with him. Why did you
Speaker 1: make it that way, sir? And he's talking. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, people want, you know, service bots to do this,
Speaker 1: that and the other. We just made one who's good
Speaker 1: at conversation. And I'm like, I don't know, man, I
Speaker 1: don't feel like you designed that robot for conversational purposes.
Speaker 1: Ross You've seen the video. You think that he designed
Speaker 1: that robot so he could talk about Tolstoy or something else.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't want an ugly robot, you know?
Speaker 1: Why do you keep doing that when you're clearly in
Speaker 1: your studio.
Speaker 2: Want you want something like Rosie from the Jetson's robot.
Speaker 1: Come on, well, Rosie was efficient right, handled all the
Speaker 1: needs of the Jetson.
Speaker 2: I just, I just I want to know who he
Speaker 2: modeled her after, because.
Speaker 1: You literally stole my thunder. I was just going to say,
Speaker 1: how awkward is it if you're some intern at that
Speaker 1: company and you're like, that looks a lot like me.
Speaker 2: Right, they were an ex girlfriend or somebody he sat
Speaker 2: next to in school or something, and they're seeing the
Speaker 2: video the Oh my god.
Speaker 1: How are you filtering your voice that I can't figure out?
Speaker 2: I'm at home because the weather's so bad in wake Forest.
Speaker 2: Actually it is so bad I couldn't get out of
Speaker 2: a driveway. So this is a makeshift studio in my phone.
Speaker 1: Is this somebody who's gonna lie for you? Is that
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing on my call screener here? Is that?
Speaker 1: What is that? What's going on here?
Speaker 2: I just appreciate the false, disparaging, malicious lies. My work
Speaker 2: thing is impeccable.
Speaker 1: Why if you just have a robot for companionship and conversation,
Speaker 1: does it have to be five foot two, one hundred
Speaker 1: and five pounds with double d's. I'm just wondering, just wondering.
Speaker 1: But yeah, to to your point in what I was
Speaker 1: going to make, like, how awkward if that looks like
Speaker 1: you and you work with the student. Yeah, you're Brandy,
Speaker 1: You're the you're the intern from UCLA that year or whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh man, probably file a lawsuit. All right, let's let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and fall on this knife. Yes, Boston, Paul,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm remote calor remotely.
Speaker 1: And I was you're holding pay from your face, I
Speaker 1: can tell what's happening. What do you want?
Speaker 5: I was up in the wake Forest scoping out my
Speaker 5: hot dog drink, see if I can get to it
Speaker 5: at lunch time, and you know it doesn't.
Speaker 12: Look that way.
Speaker 5: I think Ross said the right thing by not putting
Speaker 5: a stupid ad on trying to drive into the studio.
Speaker 1: First, you live south of Raleigh. Why are you in
Speaker 1: wake Forest? That doesn't track?
Speaker 5: I told you my my hot dog during Best in
Speaker 5: the World.
Speaker 1: Which one is it? Which?
Speaker 2: What is it? Shorty hot Dogs?
Speaker 1: Yeah, as Tony's pretty good down by the Universe by
Speaker 1: NSI state there anyway.
Speaker 5: When you have one, you know you know he ordered
Speaker 5: a one.
Speaker 1: I see, okay, So yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 12: Ross is doing the right thing.
Speaker 13: I mean you didn't.
Speaker 5: You didn't need to put a stupid high on him
Speaker 5: drive all the.
Speaker 2: Way into I appreciate Paul's service to the community and
Speaker 2: to the show. He's a he's well respected, and uh,
Speaker 2: all this time there in Boston. He knows safety and
Speaker 2: I feel that he's making the right decisions, saying that
Speaker 2: I made the right decisions.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that Yeah, that's that's that's good. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how much money has changed hands. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question. There are two questions there, Boston Paul,
Speaker 1: back when you were still wanting a badge UH and
Speaker 1: running around tasing the public for giving the attitude, did
Speaker 1: you go with Zeus juice or Edison medicine.
Speaker 5: We weren't allowed to have favors time we did, but
Speaker 5: they took them away from us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's Boston. You guys just shoot people so
Speaker 1: obviously different, you know. Second, d are you super excited
Speaker 1: for your playoff game on Sunday?
Speaker 5: Let's shoot another?
Speaker 1: Is this the show going to be pretending not to
Speaker 1: be near their microphone? Is that what I'm doing to
Speaker 1: on a Friday? So you're so your Buccaneers play at
Speaker 1: seven against UH on Sunday against the Years at seven?
Speaker 1: I never said it was a Buccaneers what's up?
Speaker 5: Never said I never said it was a Buccaneers scene.
Speaker 1: Ross. Did Boston Paul ever call in excited about the Buccaneers?
Speaker 6: No, No, Paul.
Speaker 1: I'm asking Ross because I feel like.
Speaker 13: You had always has in red skins always, Pat. I
Speaker 13: don't know why he because I don't.
Speaker 2: Know I think I think. I think football stupid and
Speaker 2: I can't pay attention to it because it's a childish
Speaker 2: thing and I'm more focused on survival at the moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, how many inches or how many inches of
Speaker 1: snow is there in wake Forest Ross? Since I can't.
Speaker 2: See it, it looks like hawf It's like haff.
Speaker 1: You know that that's in Wyoming. We used to call
Speaker 1: that Monday and then we go to school right to
Speaker 1: pack you on your dead tantan around you and off
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 5: So all right, I'm just glad Darren gonna put their
Speaker 5: stupid head on. They took it there.
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't with this audio. You need to
Speaker 1: go away now, all right, go back, go back to
Speaker 1: drinking or whatever you do. All right, get out of here.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know this is worse than It's worse
Speaker 1: than Pirate Day, International Pirate Day. That's my least favorite
Speaker 1: day doing a radio show.
Speaker 2: What do pirates like to do on the weekend? Yard work?
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, plunder booty. I mean that's what.
Speaker 2: Yard worre.
Speaker 1: Okay, is it break time yet? Oh dear god, it's not.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Let me just play something to irritate you and distract
Speaker 1: you can I let's learn more about the fire firefighting
Speaker 1: folks and the general attitude. Since this California story is big,
Speaker 1: this won't irritate you at all.
Speaker 3: You want to see somebody that responds to your house,
Speaker 3: your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call,
Speaker 3: that looks like you. It gives that person a little
Speaker 3: bit more ease knowing that somebody no.
Speaker 1: All right, hold on, ma'am, I think, ma'am, hang on,
Speaker 1: I want to see somebody. If my house is on
Speaker 1: fire and I'm in my house, I want to see anybody.
Speaker 1: I don't like any If I'm trapped in my house
Speaker 1: and it's all on fire, I don't care if you,
Speaker 1: ma'am come through the door, or some dude who looks
Speaker 1: like Magnus Magnuson or whatever the strong like, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I just want to be like, Oh now, I don't
Speaker 1: have to burn to death. Okay, That's where I'm at.
Speaker 1: And by the way, UH, correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Ross This woman is not. She's a firefighter on a
Speaker 1: TV show. Right, Oh come on, man?
Speaker 2: What Trevor just came in and took my paper towel
Speaker 2: roll away? So now we're back to a normal Friday
Speaker 2: and very it sucks. Well, so confused, my rights have
Speaker 2: been violated. Do we only have one paper towel in
Speaker 2: the whole building? Well, you can't get back to the
Speaker 2: kitchen now because it's sealed off from all the construction.
Speaker 2: The lobby was gone this morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you have to you have to repel the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Nos. Like, if I have to go the bathroom, I'm doomed,
Speaker 2: Like it's not possible today, Like you have to.
Speaker 1: There's eleven floors of yeah rooms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but to get to the I don't even know
Speaker 2: like how to even to get back to the stairs.
Speaker 2: To get to those floors. Now, it's like like you
Speaker 2: said before in the beginning of the show, it's like
Speaker 2: a maze. It's like a maze to get out of
Speaker 2: here now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's it's hold on. Somebody just send me something.
Speaker 1: Hold on. They got a question. I'll go ahead and
Speaker 1: tackle this question. Why am I getting anybody have a
Speaker 1: coworker who sends everybody in the company calendars for their
Speaker 1: uh when they're going to be in the office and
Speaker 1: not in the office, Because.
Speaker 2: I think it's like a new thing that people do.
Speaker 1: But no, but Ashley's the only one who does it. Sorry,
Speaker 1: it's called Ashley. I'm not mad at her. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you're going to be in this market
Speaker 1: today and that they just don't know that. I need
Speaker 1: it on my calendar anyway. But no, this like that
Speaker 1: person's not even a real firefighter? Am I wrong? Before
Speaker 1: I play the rest of this audio? All right, hold on,
Speaker 1: here's the question. Finally got this work. Why is it
Speaker 1: we only make robots to either have sex with or
Speaker 1: kill people? Well? Why not both, sir? That's what I want.
Speaker 2: I like the safety protocols them both though, right, Because
Speaker 2: like when a robot is gonna kill you and go evil,
Speaker 2: it's eyes turn red, But when the sex robot has
Speaker 2: a headache, the eyes also go red. So it's good.
Speaker 2: It's a good safety pro It's Isaac Asimov's fourth rule
Speaker 2: of robotics, I believe.
Speaker 1: I don't do you notice, though, how much we skipped
Speaker 1: over that whole era of making robots sex bots that
Speaker 1: would have a headache? Right? Remember remember all these geniuses
Speaker 1: years ago we've talked about on the show. Well, this
Speaker 1: robot has a menstrual cycle, and it's like, why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they wanted to make that a thing. They
Speaker 2: wanted to actually make it a thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Remember the what was the consent bot? Remember consent bot? Right?
Speaker 1: It was like, we're gonna have a robot, but it's
Speaker 1: a sex bot, but sometimes it tells you no, and
Speaker 1: it's to train you too. Okay, well, let me say this.
Speaker 1: If you're buying a twenty thousand dollars sex spot, I
Speaker 1: don't think you're in a lot of situations where you're
Speaker 1: having to get consent from a real woman. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's I don't think that's a normal part of
Speaker 1: your schedule. Yeah, they're like, oh yeah, well, what damn it?
Speaker 1: What did we name? We came up with a name.
Speaker 1: Well I was trying to remember what we called the name.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, the menstruating robot. Do you remember
Speaker 1: what we called it? I just remembered. Do you remember ross?
Speaker 1: Do you remember what you're calling it? Cry boorgh that's right? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah cryboard. That was the only redeeming quality of
Speaker 1: that whole story. So I don't know why that is, sir,
Speaker 1: but I would say, you want both, right, you want
Speaker 1: a h.
Speaker 2: What's it?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 1: You want a chef in the kitchen and a freaking
Speaker 1: the sheets kind of thing, or in this case, you
Speaker 1: want you want a stone cold killer and to freaking
Speaker 1: the sheets. So I think that's what the people are
Speaker 1: looking for. It's weird. Ross's audio just got a lot better.
Speaker 1: That's so strange how that happened. All right, anyway back
Speaker 1: to this, so uh yeah, so let's go back to
Speaker 1: what you're looking for in a firefighter. I'm sorry, if
Speaker 1: my house is burning down, you could you guys could
Speaker 1: all show up and look like the the umpa lumpas.
Speaker 1: But if you're getting it done and you're not trying
Speaker 1: to put the fire out with a bag of water,
Speaker 1: did you see this video? I tweeted this out yesterday,
Speaker 1: so and and I understand that these are literally specially
Speaker 1: designed bags so that they don't leak, so you can
Speaker 1: carry water over, But the whole situation seems ridiculous. It's
Speaker 1: clearly a shed. I'm assuming it's probably trash cans and
Speaker 1: stuff in there, probably six six to eight. The whole
Speaker 1: damn thing's on fire, and you're running over with and
Speaker 1: it looks like a bag. Its the size of a
Speaker 1: bag you would get if you went over to sheets
Speaker 1: this morning and bought a couple of things and they
Speaker 1: threw it in the bag and they're trying to put
Speaker 1: fires out with that. Now, why would that be? Because
Speaker 1: the truck they're gaining the water from isn't able to
Speaker 1: hook in and get water from the hydrants. They're having
Speaker 1: to ration the water that they're using. Meanwhile, this is happening.
Speaker 3: You want to see somebody that responds to your house,
Speaker 3: your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call,
Speaker 3: that looks like you. It gives that person a little
Speaker 3: bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.
Speaker 1: Is she strong enough to ross? If let's say hypothetically,
Speaker 1: you're on fire, Okay, somehow you've you've caught fire. I
Speaker 1: don't maybe Lincoln let you on fire, or your probably
Speaker 1: your cat did it. Whatever, you're on fire and somebody
Speaker 1: comes to put you out. Are you going to be
Speaker 1: hesitant if they don't look like it, don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't care. It's not something a computer process. I'm like,
Speaker 2: put the fire out, That's what I Because you're on fire,
Speaker 2: You're just like put Yeah, you think that you think
Speaker 2: the woman that was set on fire and the subway
Speaker 2: there in New York. Cared. Yeah, the person was walking
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Better be a sixty year old woman who comes down
Speaker 1: or whatever she aged she was sixty year old woman
Speaker 1: who comes down here to put me out? No, I
Speaker 1: think she probably didn't. Well, I'm not sure she was
Speaker 1: able to process it.
Speaker 3: Either do this or you couldn't carry my husband out
Speaker 3: of a fire, which my response is he got himself
Speaker 3: from the wrong place.
Speaker 1: If I have to carry him out of a fire.
Speaker 2: That isn't what?
Speaker 1: All right, hold on, because I kind of buried the
Speaker 1: lead there. I should have warned you. The last statement
Speaker 1: that this woman is going to make is going to
Speaker 1: drive you up the wall. Let's hear it in its entirety.
Speaker 3: Do you want to see somebody that responds to your house,
Speaker 3: your emergency, whether it's a medical call or.
Speaker 2: A fire, that looks like you.
Speaker 3: It gives that person a little bit more ease knowing
Speaker 3: that somebody might understand their situation better. Is she strong
Speaker 3: enough to do this? Or you couldn't carry my husband
Speaker 3: out of a fire, which my response is he got
Speaker 3: himself in the wrong place. If I have to carry
Speaker 3: him out.
Speaker 1: Of a fire, what a loser?
Speaker 12: Huh?
Speaker 1: What hm, lit on fire like that?
Speaker 2: The hell is that? Can you imagine any other dude?
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that? You know, I don't your wig forest,
Speaker 2: police department, the chief or whatever. Yeah, he's like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: you know, if you're a woman and you're you're caught
Speaker 2: in a fire, you know, you put yourself in that situation.
Speaker 2: I yeah, standing in the fire like that. Now, sometimes
Speaker 2: people do, because you know, Florida exists. We know this
Speaker 2: is a thing. People like themselves on fire. That being said,
Speaker 2: f you, I just f you for days.
Speaker 1: Probably you have this expectation. Do you scold them before
Speaker 1: you smother them with the blanket? I mean, what how
Speaker 1: does that work?
Speaker 2: You have some like the husband's house for over, like
Speaker 2: outside watching or you know, thinking about their loved one
Speaker 2: burning alive in the house, and you're screaming at this
Speaker 2: police chief, go save my police you know, save my husband.
Speaker 2: And you're like, he did it to himself? Yeah, is
Speaker 2: now he may have.
Speaker 1: But do you know, just to bring a more serious
Speaker 1: point to this, do you know the first Now they're
Speaker 1: the first two people they found dead. So there was
Speaker 1: a time when they thought there was two before there
Speaker 1: was five yesterday and onward and upward.
Speaker 2: But do you know what.
Speaker 1: The two people, the first two people they found dead
Speaker 1: were doing how they found them. They've died with their
Speaker 1: garden hose in their hand. They were running around, they
Speaker 1: were trying to put the fire out around their house,
Speaker 1: and even though they were outside, they just they feel
Speaker 1: that they probably you know, because I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know, this fire loves oxygen and so it very
Speaker 1: clearly SAPs the oxygen. And so they're running around trying
Speaker 1: to save everything that they own with an effinge garden
Speaker 1: hose and they just they were overcome with everything and
Speaker 1: they died. Screw you all day, right there. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, people are going to die in
Speaker 1: in big horrific things. It's not on the fire department.
Speaker 1: But screw you talking about oh well, why are you
Speaker 1: in that position? Well, that's why they were in that position.
Speaker 1: They're looking at literally everything they have and going, well,
Speaker 1: just maybe since the fire hydrants are working, maybe I
Speaker 1: can put it out myself.
Speaker 2: But just to be clear, right and this die. The
Speaker 2: city put this in a promotional video and published it
Speaker 2: and posted it and they're like, yeah, we're going to
Speaker 2: go along with that. What she just said which is
Speaker 2: completely insane.
Speaker 1: And they hashtaged its celebrating diversity in the original post,
Speaker 1: which is what I would do to mockt. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you did. You get it from the original
Speaker 1: where they had the original on it, Okay, so they
Speaker 1: literally in the original post on their own social media
Speaker 1: they hashtag celebrating diversity while telling people, hey, dummy, don't
Speaker 1: light yourself on fire, which is good advice. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll be back, all right. A couple emails. I just
Speaker 1: want to real quickly address one. Is it true that
Speaker 1: some LA Fire Department assets supplies determined to be surplus
Speaker 1: were sent to Ukraine. Yes, that is true. That is true,
Speaker 1: and not just from the Fire Department but from various
Speaker 1: like Los Angeles. The LA City Council put out a
Speaker 1: statement and they had a whole price package for him.
Speaker 1: And yes, some of them were LA Fire Department assets.
Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily if they directly correlated, because I
Speaker 1: don't know the totality of what they were, but that
Speaker 1: is true. And the fire department budget, more importantly, which
Speaker 1: then could have been spent on maintenance, that was seventeen
Speaker 1: point six million, and that was redirected to migrants, So
Speaker 1: you know, shifting assets and dollars or is not uncommon,
Speaker 1: but it looks really bad in retrospect. The thing that's
Speaker 1: really crazy, and it kind of gets lost in the
Speaker 1: shuffle of this stuff is the amount of people I've
Speaker 1: seen interviewed going back to when the fires first broke out,
Speaker 1: who saw no law enforcement attempting to mitigate traffic issues. Right,
Speaker 1: So when you have this an exasperated event like this
Speaker 1: where all these people like you saw in because California,
Speaker 1: because of the topography, likely especially when you're in these
Speaker 1: these quick elevation changes like Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, those kinds
Speaker 1: of areas where it's you know, it's the hills, the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Hills there, there's usually only one road up through there.
Speaker 1: There's not a bunch of them, so you stall one road,
Speaker 1: doubt it's a problem. And that's why you saw Steve
Speaker 1: Gutenberg in that clip running around trying to tell them people, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave, You're gonna ditch your cars, leave the
Speaker 1: keys at them because if not a snope, literally a
Speaker 1: snowplow is going to come through and push your car
Speaker 1: off the road so people can get out. But at
Speaker 1: the time the fires were going on, when people were
Speaker 1: really there was they didn't have the l a PD
Speaker 1: or the sheriff for anybody out there in most of
Speaker 1: these areas, and as a result, you get gridlock. I mean,
Speaker 1: the police can do what the police can do, but
Speaker 1: still they're they're providing some order to this. So the
Speaker 1: whole thing is a dumpster fire, for lack of a
Speaker 1: better term, and people are outrage and and a lot
Speaker 1: of people who are we we're probably the main supporters
Speaker 1: of the current leadership right probably held fundraisers. Pacific Palisades
Speaker 1: is a it's it's it's probably a less known haunt
Speaker 1: of Hollywood, but it's chalk full of Hollywood people, the
Speaker 1: very very nice suburb of Los Angeles, and like those
Speaker 1: people are flipping this woman right here, This is this
Speaker 1: is exactly what I was wondering if it was going
Speaker 1: to happen. Hold on, let me play this audio for you.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by this at all. And then you
Speaker 1: got to ask, well, what's law enforcement going to do
Speaker 1: about this. Here's a woman being interviewed who lives in
Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades. Are used to because her house right Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go as I.
Speaker 11: Was getting my whole family out, all you have in
Speaker 11: your mind is just youre a survival mode.
Speaker 1: At that point, I.
Speaker 11: Saw men coming into our neighborhoods.
Speaker 9: Police confirmed it.
Speaker 2: She had this to say, take a listen.
Speaker 1: It was wild.
Speaker 11: I would we just start seeing all these cars pull up,
Speaker 11: doors open, groups of men running up our street, going
Speaker 11: up to the doors of these houses, and we weren't
Speaker 11: sure what was going on. I'm thinking, are these people
Speaker 11: here to help my neighbors?
Speaker 1: I hope so?
Speaker 11: And I left, and then my husband talked to the
Speaker 11: fleece and said, what are those guys doing. These guys
Speaker 11: don't live here, get them out. My next door neiber
Speaker 11: said his quote, there were like one hundred people that
Speaker 11: came up on scooters and were trying to get into
Speaker 11: any and all houses on the street.
Speaker 8: And did you physically see police officers stopping them.
Speaker 11: I didn't, but it's not to say that they weren't.
Speaker 11: It was so incredibly chaotic, and I was so worried
Speaker 11: about my big family and getting them out of our
Speaker 11: old tinder box of a house that I was just
Speaker 11: focused on them first.
Speaker 1: Yes, the absolute worst of humanity then descended on these
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the unburned homes where they knew
Speaker 1: people had fled for the purpose of looting them. Yea,
Speaker 1: And what do you do with that boy? One hundred people?
Speaker 1: It's you know what it sounds like. It sounds like
Speaker 1: those videos you see were like fifty misguided utes decide
Speaker 1: to ransack a convenience store, except they're doing this to
Speaker 1: five million dollar homes of Pacific Palisades. Now. The other
Speaker 1: I said, I there's two emails I want to address.
Speaker 1: That's one of one was the question about the fire
Speaker 1: dollars and being redirected. Here's the other one, quote, why
Speaker 1: do you care? Why do you care? After what happened
Speaker 1: in North Carolina? And nobody cares? I care because it
Speaker 1: provides an a a very interesting lesson in how people
Speaker 1: prioritize disaster relief. Okay, but you But also I do care.
Speaker 1: I do, And even if it's I was gonna say
Speaker 1: if Robert de Niro's house was burning, but I honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about that because that
Speaker 1: guy is so dead to me. But in the totality
Speaker 1: of I do care, and California's and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of crazy people there, but I really enjoyed the years
Speaker 1: that I spent out there, and I know a lot
Speaker 1: of nice people, and it's not all like that. Most
Speaker 1: of those folks just basically are subjugated, right, there's nothing
Speaker 1: they can do with though Santa Barbarie does have a
Speaker 1: little bit of red in it. I do care, But
Speaker 1: I also am flabbergasted at watching the response to what's
Speaker 1: going on in LA almost immediately, the amount of dollars
Speaker 1: that are flowing, in the amount of concern in the
Speaker 1: voice of the President, the governor, and everybody else, when
Speaker 1: we didn't have that. Okay, and I will die on
Speaker 1: this hill. Roy Cooper and Josh Stein who is now
Speaker 1: the governor, gave zero fs when it came to actively
Speaker 1: monitoring and criticizing what we're glaring airrors in FEMA's response.
Speaker 1: Where you had those houses Citty in Hickory, when you
Speaker 1: had officials up in the mountains like that absolute lunatic
Speaker 1: woman who we played the audio of, who made it
Speaker 1: as partisan as possible as a city, a city council member,
Speaker 1: supper county commissioner out in western North Carolina, like like,
Speaker 1: what's happening. They're gonna have a telethon, let's just be honest.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a friggin' telethon for the victims of
Speaker 1: the fire in California. And I don't begrudge him for that,
Speaker 1: But Joe Biden is Johnny on the spot, He's on
Speaker 1: the ground, the governor cares. They're even being critical of
Speaker 1: some of the other outlets, mostly to deflect blame. But
Speaker 1: you watch Pacific Palisades will be rebuilt before, and then
Speaker 1: pick whatever western North Carolina it'll be. It'll be rebuilt
Speaker 1: before Asheville is.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, and there's a reason for that, right it's
Speaker 2: a donor dollars and fifty four electoral votes from a
Speaker 2: solid red state. Are you saying that politics may may
Speaker 2: play here, But like you said, it's been what forty
Speaker 2: eight hours, and they're already committing. You know, we're going
Speaker 2: to pay for the one hundred and eighty days of recovery,
Speaker 2: and everything's gonna be paid for, and we're sending you know,
Speaker 2: Sea one thirties, and we're sending fire departments and firefighters
Speaker 2: and everything's going to be okay. Meanwhile, you have people
Speaker 2: that are and let's let's be honest. A lot of
Speaker 2: people just give an example, like say like a Paris Hilton.
Speaker 2: She's not going to be financially ruined from this. I
Speaker 2: don't want to see anybody lose a house.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's not attacking Billy.
Speaker 2: An example, these people. Right, it's horrible and it's horrific and
Speaker 2: it's awful and nobody should live through that.
Speaker 1: How we even if you have a ten million dollar house,
Speaker 1: I don't want you to use it.
Speaker 2: They're going to be financially Okay, they're not going to
Speaker 2: be financially ruined. Meanwhile, you have people in western North
Speaker 2: Carolina who lost everything and are going to be financially ruined,
Speaker 2: and we are going to be they are they are yeah,
Speaker 2: and they're currently what their FEMA vouchers are running out
Speaker 2: and they're being kicked out of their hotels in the middle. Iay, right,
Speaker 2: all of this, but even on top of that, right
Speaker 2: when this happened, how how many days went by before
Speaker 2: they got any response? And then the.
Speaker 1: National Guard wouldn't if we were doing National Guard response
Speaker 1: and it was the same as North Carolina, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: deploy until Sunday.
Speaker 2: Right, And then when they did get a response, they
Speaker 2: held a press conference where Kamala Harris was like, you know,
Speaker 2: waving her seven hundred fifty dollars check around, going hey,
Speaker 2: we're here to help you out right. You know, even
Speaker 2: if they did that, even if they had this, you know,
Speaker 2: and I agree with you, they're gonna have some sort
Speaker 2: of telethon or something to help the victims of this area.
Speaker 2: And you know they're gonna be even if they presented,
Speaker 2: you know, Paris Hilton, here's the seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: dollars to help you recoup from this disaster. Once again,
Speaker 2: she's going to be. Okay, they're gonna have.
Speaker 1: A place to stay right now wherever went to, Paris Hilton,
Speaker 1: go to stay.
Speaker 2: Right, do we know? I mean, okay, just the judgabusiness
Speaker 2: of my house.
Speaker 1: I got an extra room.
Speaker 2: The comparison to these two disasters and the video camera
Speaker 2: the response, but the comparison of these two disasters and
Speaker 2: the response speed, it's disgusting, it really is.
Speaker 1: But it's so glaring, is what it is. Too Like
Speaker 1: it would be one thing if it was a slightly
Speaker 1: blue district, but it's the it is the right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a swamp center of Democrat politics. And again, uh,
Speaker 1: to reiterate what Ross just said, I don't want Billy
Speaker 1: Crystal's house to burn down. Don't even know the Billy crime.
Speaker 1: I've never seen him really do a political This isn't politics,
Speaker 1: even Paris Hilton, right, the ultimate NEPO baby. I don't
Speaker 1: want this. What was the reality show idiots who they
Speaker 1: lost their house?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 1: What is the name of that reality I never watched
Speaker 1: any of it, But they're just awful people on the
Speaker 1: reality show. Maybe in real life. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Beings said, I'm like that sucks man, because they were
Speaker 1: talking about their kid's bedroom burning and luckily their kid
Speaker 1: wasn't in it, so they don't have to get scolded
Speaker 1: by that insane fire woman. But they were talking about
Speaker 1: their their their emotional reaction to looking at what used
Speaker 1: to be their son's bedroom and it's just torched and
Speaker 1: the kids and it weird. It's weird because the bed
Speaker 1: burned and the ashes look like a heart. They really do.
Speaker 1: And these people who years ago when they were doing
Speaker 1: their reality show, Heidi montagu and then whoever the dude
Speaker 1: is just I never saw any.
Speaker 2: Of your time.
Speaker 1: These people are what's that Spencer Pratt? Spencer Pratt, I like,
Speaker 1: these are awful people. Whenever I see video of them
Speaker 1: all that, but they're they're so human when they're sitting
Speaker 1: there talking about staring at where their kid used to sleep,
Speaker 1: and they're busting up emotionally over it. Because even with
Speaker 1: everything that goes on and all the all the politics
Speaker 1: of and in the opinions we have in the good times,
Speaker 1: I don't want that on anybody. I don't even have
Speaker 1: a kid. And I was like, geez, is it Dusty
Speaker 1: in here? What's going going on? Man? And yes, the
Speaker 1: the absolute response for the federal government Joe Biden everybody else,
Speaker 1: although to be fair, Joe Biden is not given his level.
Speaker 1: Best bag Biden.
Speaker 6: If they contact Disaster Assistance dot gov anybody's lost everything
Speaker 6: or anything of consequence, Disaster Assistants dot gov or one
Speaker 6: eight hundred two assummate one eight hundred two, I beg
Speaker 6: your pardon one eight hundred six two one three three
Speaker 6: six two.
Speaker 1: Which is still not the number, by the way, jeez.
Speaker 1: But they're out there and they're making the effort, and
Speaker 1: they're laying it out there. And Joe Biden's always had
Speaker 1: problems with you know, internet stuff. Do you remember Joe
Speaker 1: Biden back when the UH when they were rolling out
Speaker 1: healthcare dot gov and they sent Joe Biden to go
Speaker 1: do all the interviews the right after they passed it. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was an absolute disaster. Here's that audio.
Speaker 10: By the way, do you know I'm embarrassed? Do you
Speaker 10: know the website number?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 10: I should have it in front of me and I don't.
Speaker 1: You are you were sent out to promote a website.
Speaker 1: I just want to be clear. You were sent to
Speaker 1: do like twenty interviews over a few days with all
Speaker 1: the different media outlets, and your sole job was to
Speaker 1: promote a website, and you don't have it in front
Speaker 1: of you. And holy crap, this was what twelve years ago,
Speaker 1: thirteen years ago when people probably didn't think he was senile.
Speaker 10: Do you know, I'm embarrassed? Do you know the website number?
Speaker 10: You know? I should have it in front of me
Speaker 10: and I don't.
Speaker 1: But they're all there and they're with a big pile
Speaker 1: of money, and it's absolutely maddening. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about it with Pete Calender coming up at eight oh five.
Speaker 1: And if you think it's just the FEDS who have
Speaker 1: their head in their behind, they finally got the mayor
Speaker 1: who was forced to come back from Ghana who refused
Speaker 1: to answer any questions by the Sky News reporter. They
Speaker 1: finally got a mic in front of her face and
Speaker 1: this is how it went.
Speaker 2: Right Now, if you need help, emergency information resources and
Speaker 2: shelter is available. All of this can be found at URL.
Speaker 1: At what at what? What do you talk? What are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Did you not like? What it shows?
Speaker 11: Is?
Speaker 1: Let me explain something to you for somebody who does
Speaker 1: this for a living, where I have to read something,
Speaker 1: consume it, generally commit parts of it to memory, and
Speaker 1: then explain it to you. And I'm still not real
Speaker 1: good at it, but good enough. I'm employed. So with
Speaker 1: that in mind, if I know, my job is to
Speaker 1: open my mouth and in fifteen seconds explain to you
Speaker 1: this website you need to go to. I know the website.
Speaker 1: It's very simple. If I'm like, oh, so if you
Speaker 1: want to enter this contest, go to caseyodradio dot com
Speaker 1: and then I commit that to it to memory. I
Speaker 1: don't need a sheet in front of me. She's reading something.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they wrote it, and then the URL showed
Speaker 1: up but the website didn't or whatever on whatever the
Speaker 1: hell she's reading? How does this happen? How are you
Speaker 1: not embarrassed? And the only way you're not embarrassed is
Speaker 1: you're shameless, absolutely shameless. So keep a Yes, we're going
Speaker 1: to keep covering this because and they have arrested a guy.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that here in just a moment.
Speaker 1: But we're going to keep covering this because it is
Speaker 1: such a stark contrast to a bunch of FEMA workers
Speaker 1: running around not going to sign a yards with Trump signs,
Speaker 1: or seven here's seven hundred and fifty dollars, or you
Speaker 1: better pay your taxes on that house that floated away.
Speaker 1: That's why we're covering and we're going to keep doing it.
Speaker 1: And I'll explain who they arrested and what they arrested.
Speaker 1: Some homeless dude, one of these, one of the the
Speaker 1: guy they think started one of the hobo fires as
Speaker 1: I'm calling it now, So more on that in a moment.
Speaker 1: Hang on a speculation. Now, they did arrest a dude,
Speaker 1: a homeless man for one of the fires. Let me
Speaker 1: see here. Yeah, one person taken into custody and connection
Speaker 1: to the Kenneth fire, which are up at Thursday in
Speaker 1: the West Hills of la Arson. Investigators of the lap
Speaker 1: D said that they Let's see, what is this guy's
Speaker 1: They have a name on him, yet this is north
Speaker 1: this is just north of LA's like Ventura, if you
Speaker 1: have any knowledge of the geography there. Let's see here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a homeless man in his thirties was arrested. This is
Speaker 1: the one where they think a fires. So not necessarily
Speaker 1: that he was out there lighting it, but he had
Speaker 1: an uncontrolled fire. There is obviously huge problem with that
Speaker 1: many homeless people is and understandably so they want fire
Speaker 1: to either keep warm or cook food or whatever. So
Speaker 1: but it's it's not government official's fault in La. So
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Uh, who do you think
Speaker 1: a sitting member of Congress by the name of Premilla
Speaker 1: jayapal Jaya Palell. I never know how to pronounce her
Speaker 1: name because I don't care because she's insane. Who She's
Speaker 1: not California, she's Western Washington, Seattle, I think, But if
Speaker 1: not somewhere in there. Who did she play ross? You
Speaker 1: haven't even seen this. Who do you think Primilla Jaya
Speaker 1: Palell decided it's responsible for the fires?
Speaker 2: Take a Trump and musk.
Speaker 1: No, that was that CNN's theory. Well, actually their theory
Speaker 1: is partially Trump at the beginning, but also they're in
Speaker 1: inhibiting the ability to effectively fight the fires. So CNN
Speaker 1: did run that game yesterday.
Speaker 12: No J.
Speaker 1: Powell has decided, are you ready for this? McDonald's. That's right,
Speaker 1: the Golden arches. Now, maybe you're wondering, you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: explain it to me, Like I'm five, and and really
Speaker 1: I can't, but I can kind of explain it. So
Speaker 1: she tweeted out, corporations got us into this mess, but
Speaker 1: even they can't escape the devastating reality of climate change.
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if you said, you see
Speaker 1: the video of the McDonald's getting absolutely cooked yesterday one
Speaker 1: of the McDonald's burned down and it's in the winds,
Speaker 1: so you just it's it's aggressive. You just see the
Speaker 1: fire swoop in there. Yeah, So she posted that video
Speaker 1: and then blame corporations for this.
Speaker 2: See blaming the corporations and blaming climate change is like
Speaker 2: it's evil. It's because you're blaming these things and you're
Speaker 2: not looking at anything that could possibly be human responsibility. Right,
Speaker 2: So that's put aside, so you can't fix the problem,
Speaker 2: so it might happen again, and you're like Oh, it's
Speaker 2: this climate change.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like we talked about yesterday. Even if you
Speaker 1: if you accept the premise that's one hundred percent climate change. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's say it's one hundred percent climate change. If you
Speaker 1: accept that premise and you think it is that climate
Speaker 1: change has the ability to essentially murder ten people and
Speaker 1: devastate one of the wealthiest enclaves in all of the
Speaker 1: United States. If you believe that, then you prepare for it,
Speaker 1: and you have reservoirs of water and you make sure
Speaker 1: your hydrants are working because it is such a threat.
Speaker 1: That's what this is what you do every you You
Speaker 1: mitigate danger in your life all day every day. Ross
Speaker 1: do you lock your door at night?
Speaker 2: I sure do?
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. Why do you do that? Why
Speaker 1: do you lock your door.
Speaker 2: In case there's a crazy person that trice and knocking
Speaker 2: my door for you, I'm asking for five dollars in quarters?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, remember that happen? Yeah, yeah, I do. I'll
Speaker 1: never forget that. It's so weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So you think that there is the potential of the
Speaker 1: possibility that somebody may then enter your home for nefarious
Speaker 1: reasons or to make change.
Speaker 2: Right now, imagine if I didn't lock my door and
Speaker 2: then something you know, does happen, and then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's due to climate change, and then it's why.
Speaker 1: Were you no, no, no, no, Also why were you
Speaker 1: in there anyway?
Speaker 2: And it takes all responsibility away from me, right, so
Speaker 2: you can put that to the side. You don't want
Speaker 2: to feel guilt or take responsibility for anything. And climate
Speaker 2: change is a constant boogeyman, and that's evil.
Speaker 1: It's just h There is a serious lack of critical
Speaker 1: thinking on this stuff, and politicians feast on it. When
Speaker 1: you when you refuse to analyze what it is they're saying,
Speaker 1: they win. They win in deflecting responsibility. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's arguable that lawmakers in charge of Los Angeles at
Speaker 1: a local all the way up to the federal level
Speaker 1: couldn't have done a better job of getting ready for this.
Speaker 1: These This is not unknown now. If a tornado devastated
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, by the way, has happened once a long
Speaker 1: time ago. If a tornado ripped through there, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be criticizing people for not having storm shutters, do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Because I'm like, that's Los Angeles
Speaker 1: that shouldn't happen in the same way that I'm not
Speaker 1: looking at a dude in little Switzerland who's house floated away,
Speaker 1: going wow, why didn't you think there was a flood
Speaker 1: that was coming? Because we can critically think about these things,
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some other examples too. Letgrassi
Speaker 1: calls that I promised to do that. So let's let's
Speaker 1: get that. Janet, you're up first this morning. How you doing.
Speaker 14: I'm good case, I hope you are. I was just
Speaker 14: calling to let you know that I actually had a
Speaker 14: house fire, and I did stay at my driveway and
Speaker 14: stop all the trucks to inspect the crew, to make
Speaker 14: sure that they were well diversified and represented me properly.
Speaker 1: Did you get pronouns? You got pronouns from everybody? Did
Speaker 1: you I did? Yeah, I did.
Speaker 12: I got everybody.
Speaker 1: When you're when you when you're screaming at the officer
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, save your dog that's on fire,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you use the proper
Speaker 1: pronouns there.
Speaker 14: So right, well, you know, I didn't get all excited.
Speaker 14: I've been paying my insurance for a while, so I
Speaker 14: felt like I had plenty of time. And the worst
Speaker 14: part is, you know, the indoor pull down on it
Speaker 14: was it was a complete loss. The house was a
Speaker 14: complete loss.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 14: The trucks to honestly, the trucks that I had to
Speaker 14: turn around went pretty rude about it, and they kept
Speaker 14: screaming something about new your car, lady, and yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I figured it was that. You know that
Speaker 14: white man, Trevlge that all white man just the worst.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's just it's Keystone, cops. But it's Keystone everybody.
Speaker 2: It's just.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 1: It's baffling. And then as we were thanks for the caller, Janet,
Speaker 1: as we were talking about it's then when you compare
Speaker 1: the expediency of all these folks, Remember Joe Biden finally
Speaker 1: came to North Carolina, and what did he do. He
Speaker 1: stood in front of a microphone, said, Hey, I talked
Speaker 1: to the Mountain people. They're like, they think it's great.
Speaker 1: They love me. That's what he said. I'm paraphrased, but
Speaker 1: that's what he said. He said, No, they're happy, that's
Speaker 1: what he said. So they're happy. No, they're happy. It's like,
Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up. Jamal, what's going on?
Speaker 13: Hey, K see what's going on this morning?
Speaker 1: I don't know the world's burning. It's starting with LA.
Speaker 13: So you know what, KC this LA fire, it's purproved
Speaker 13: the d I don't work. You know, I lived here
Speaker 13: in Durham, whereas four point DEEI you don't work. But
Speaker 13: in LA you cannot even criticize DEEI on television because
Speaker 13: I fit lost this clip of Scott Jennings telling people
Speaker 13: the policy, the things they in act and what they
Speaker 13: was worried about. They took seventeen million dollars from the.
Speaker 5: LA five.
Speaker 1: Soft cell at seventeen point six because six hundred thousands
Speaker 1: a lot of money. They took seventeen point six out
Speaker 1: of the budget, which was the preparatory budget to give
Speaker 1: to migrant housing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and then and then they said, like you said,
Speaker 13: some of the stuff. But when Scott Jennings was the
Speaker 13: debating U A, I call her Congressman Jazz and Cratchett
Speaker 13: cast Crockett.
Speaker 1: I saw the video. She is absolutely out of her mind.
Speaker 13: So she started talking about THEEI. Why white people scared
Speaker 13: of heaving people of color? White people aren't scared of
Speaker 13: having people of color White people don't qualified people of color.
Speaker 13: White people don't want you having a white person that's
Speaker 13: beating her meeting the standards, and a black person who
Speaker 13: barely beating the standards. But you got to choose a
Speaker 13: black person because the black person, you need one more
Speaker 13: black person. Then she go on this rent. Now these
Speaker 13: people homes have been burnt down. You had the FBI
Speaker 13: agent from New Orleans, idiotic said this won't a character class.
Speaker 13: Then you had the idiotic mayor nor Orleans. Now you've
Speaker 13: got this idiotic mayor who's a communist. Now not we're
Speaker 13: not saying, oh she We're not saying she's a communist
Speaker 13: because we're conservative. We don't like because she is a
Speaker 13: communist who was part of a radical communist group, which
Speaker 13: she was in college. Just because she's black.
Speaker 12: She started going.
Speaker 13: Educated any tail down.
Speaker 1: It's not because she's black, it's because she's dumb. I
Speaker 1: think that I think that I would like to see
Speaker 1: her take an IQ test. This woman is not smart.
Speaker 1: And any human who any human who read a statement
Speaker 1: at this time of need with that ended with ur
Speaker 1: L looks over at their staff members goes, hey, the
Speaker 1: website's not on the paper here, What is it, and
Speaker 1: then make sure that you say it into the microphone
Speaker 1: two or three times for people because it's the purpose
Speaker 1: of your statement. She's functionally.
Speaker 2: I I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she has an adult IQ at
Speaker 1: this point. And she's been a lunatic the whole time
Speaker 1: she was in Congress. It's just now amplified with what's
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 13: Yes, and there you have these people that when you
Speaker 13: criticize the they want to take this statistication. I want
Speaker 13: to get this ball out. They say that black women
Speaker 13: are the most educated. They or not if you want,
Speaker 13: black women are more educated amongst black men. Yes, when
Speaker 13: it comes to black women have more degrees than black
Speaker 13: men than true, but when you shan't white women have
Speaker 13: the most of college degrees when it comes to women
Speaker 13: as all women being Asian women called mens black women
Speaker 13: waiting the third. So you hear Jazzmin Cratchett sit here
Speaker 13: and tell this why try to beat down on Scott
Speaker 13: Jenners And this is what they do. They just don't
Speaker 13: want admit their policies have failed. EI is a failure.
Speaker 13: We have that here and Durham. So people needn't just
Speaker 13: tell the truth. They're in Hollywood and people see that
Speaker 13: DEEI has failed, But that means they just start doing
Speaker 13: shows addressing DEI id EI has failed and people won't
Speaker 13: qualify people. It's somewhat black as qualified people with black
Speaker 13: people want.
Speaker 1: Then this is this is so much simple than that.
Speaker 1: All right. If I if my house is on fire
Speaker 1: and I'm trapped inside, okay, and one hundred and five
Speaker 1: pound little white woman comes through the door and I'm
Speaker 1: not able to move, I'm like, I'm probably gonna burn.
Speaker 1: And it's not a it's not a reflection of her.
Speaker 1: She can do whatever she can do. But if some
Speaker 1: big John Coffee looking dude from Green Mile comes through,
Speaker 1: you know what you mall, I'm like, I'm saved, right yeah,
Speaker 1: that big that that big dude's carrying me out of there.
Speaker 1: So this is like, it's it's not even the normal
Speaker 1: articulable lines that they wanted to thanks for the Colleja
Speaker 1: mall that they want to divide us over. It's just logic,
Speaker 1: which is very absent. All right, Oh crap, seven forty
Speaker 1: seven races.
Speaker 9: Sorry, yeah, yeah, the day when you need it to
Speaker 9: you wait, where are you? I'm in the building.
Speaker 1: You're not in your main studio.
Speaker 9: I'm not at home, believe it or not. I think
Speaker 9: it sounds better from home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this sounds this is Ross was trying to pull
Speaker 1: this crapper, pretending not going to come in because snow,
Speaker 1: and he was posting pictures of hof.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm at home today because the weather.
Speaker 1: Yeah, only snowed. And I want to check this with you.
Speaker 1: It only snowed in wake Forest, in Ross's neighbors.
Speaker 2: It did it?
Speaker 9: Did?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it didn't stop it.
Speaker 2: This is good.
Speaker 9: This is your credibility, man, I know, I know, but hey,
Speaker 9: listen as you go down eighty five snowing, snow and
Speaker 9: Atlanta right now you want to talk about panic. This
Speaker 9: is fun watching this, But we'll get.
Speaker 1: Ours, bunch. Dude. I've been in your airport when they
Speaker 1: had a flake of snow and I stayed in that
Speaker 1: airport for eight hours.
Speaker 9: How's that? How'd that worked out for you?
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is not I can't even see him.
Speaker 1: Where's the snow?
Speaker 9: Crazy?
Speaker 1: Anyway?
Speaker 9: It's crazy, but it is and getting sloppy, and that's
Speaker 9: all going to work north northeast and we'll get ours
Speaker 9: mid late afternoon from west east winter storm warnings. Probably
Speaker 9: starts as snow, then we get a mix as we
Speaker 9: head toured early tonight and overnight snow, sleet, freezing rain.
Speaker 9: So you know, you say ice and snow accumulating one
Speaker 9: to three inches, and tomorrow when it all wraps up,
Speaker 9: you're gonna be like, well, there are about three inches
Speaker 9: of snow because the initial snow is gonna get compressed
Speaker 9: by the sleet and freezing rain. So it's not gonna
Speaker 9: be kind of that Christmas snow as I call it,
Speaker 9: light and fluffy in it probably not gonna be in
Speaker 9: all snow vent but dangerous travel late today, early tonight
Speaker 9: through the overnight hours could get a little icing too,
Speaker 9: which certainly could complicate problems. The good news is for
Speaker 9: tomorrow morning. You know we're on a Saturday, so that
Speaker 9: does help. We've had some black ice around Saturday night
Speaker 9: Sunday morning with anything that does melt or any slush
Speaker 9: that freezes over than sun at the end of the
Speaker 9: weekend and up near the forty degree marks. So I'll
Speaker 9: get better, but the worst later today tonight, tapering off
Speaker 9: tomorrow afternoon, so.
Speaker 1: Roz can have the day off. Tomorrow's where you can
Speaker 1: have off.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, good, Yeah, well we'll allow that, all right,
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Now, I will say this
Speaker 1: for those of you who might have to leave to
Speaker 1: drive in that because you've gotta go to work because
Speaker 1: your stupid family needs to eat or something, just remember
Speaker 1: you put yourself in that situation.
Speaker 2: That's you, that's on you.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's what we learned today, and we'll
Speaker 1: learn some more coming up in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Hanging on. What a week and it's been a minute
Speaker 1: before we've uh, since we've had a chance to chat
Speaker 1: with our radio buddy of the self, Pete Calendar. He's uh,
Speaker 1: he's with us. Good morning, Pete. How you doing. I
Speaker 1: am good.
Speaker 12: I've you know, surrounded myself with condensed milk and bread
Speaker 12: and toilet paper.
Speaker 1: Ross was he was just complaining about this poor guy
Speaker 1: he's got He got a honey dude had to go
Speaker 1: to Target yesterday and he couldn't find a parking spot
Speaker 1: so didn't have to walk inside. So because that's what
Speaker 1: we did, all right, So you guys are you guys
Speaker 1: are preparing for army gain. Just remember Pete that if
Speaker 1: something does happen due to whatever, you know, snow or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's your fault for being there, Okay.
Speaker 12: Right, I put myself in this position.
Speaker 1: Oh good, you knew exactly what I was referencing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's important to important to understand that. I honestly the
Speaker 1: whole week I was like, I was going to do
Speaker 1: the thing where we just talk about out how insane
Speaker 1: the last two weeks were with that we had off, like,
Speaker 1: you know, we do our last show of the year.
Speaker 1: You took two weeks as well, right, I think I did. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, what, thank you, it's good. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you've seen the light. But like, how crazy was that? Dude?
Speaker 1: The last show on Friday? A day and a half
Speaker 1: later they light a woman on fire, then New Orleans,
Speaker 1: then the the truck in front of the Trump Hotel,
Speaker 1: the H one B argument. I'm leaving probably seventy two
Speaker 1: things out, and yet we're going to get into all that.
Speaker 1: And now I am just core focused on these fires
Speaker 1: out in California and comparing and contrasting the response, immediate
Speaker 1: response out there versus I don't know, let's say, western
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Is that fair because some people are saying
Speaker 1: it's not fair to look at those two things and
Speaker 1: wonder why the federal government sending personal butt wipers out
Speaker 1: to appease the celebrities when in reality, I don't want
Speaker 1: a guy in little Switzerland to have his double wide
Speaker 1: washed away, and I don't want somebody like Billy Crystal
Speaker 1: to have his ten million dollar house burned down because
Speaker 1: I'm human, right, Why are we going through this performative theater?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 12: So look, I think it is undeniable that the attention
Speaker 12: of the fires is partly due to and I don't
Speaker 12: know how large of an effect it is, but we
Speaker 12: obviously you throw in celebrities and people feel connections because
Speaker 12: these are people that they feel like they know because
Speaker 12: they've seen you know, you mentioned Billy Crystal and John Goodman.
Speaker 12: There are a lot of people that they are celebrities
Speaker 12: and they live in these areas and so there are
Speaker 12: pictures of them and people connect to them. So yes,
Speaker 12: I think that is a part of it. Also, you
Speaker 12: know this being a member of the meeting and being
Speaker 12: a former reporter that the fire video is captivating. I mean,
Speaker 12: there's a reason why local newsrooms send people out to
Speaker 12: cover apartment fires when when the damage is minimal and
Speaker 12: nobody was killed. It's it's you know, fire makes for
Speaker 12: captivating video on TV.
Speaker 1: I don't know, a house floating down the French food works.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, so sure that does. That does well.
Speaker 12: But for the media, they like mops to the flame.
Speaker 1: Like literally, right, let me say this, and this is
Speaker 1: a compliment. I mean this. Look well, I lived, you know,
Speaker 1: I went to school in California, right, so Wyoming kids
Speaker 1: straight to southern California. It's a little bit of a
Speaker 1: culture shop. But the news in California does breaking news
Speaker 1: almost better than anybody out there. Every afternoon, there was
Speaker 1: a possibility that if I turn on KTLA, which we
Speaker 1: got up in Santa Barbara, and in addition to our
Speaker 1: locals that there was the craziest car chase you've ever seen.
Speaker 1: And they had infrastructure to cover these things, right So
Speaker 1: so yeah, and now you're in the number two media
Speaker 1: market in the country, one of the biggest in the world.
Speaker 1: Although they the one hill that they have there were
Speaker 1: all of the transmitter towers for Odyssey and others. I
Speaker 1: guess that burned down.
Speaker 12: So yeah, that Mount Wilson, I think it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they they have an infrastructure that makes it
Speaker 1: more readily available. Than even what Western North Carolina had.
Speaker 1: Even though everybody's got a camera on their damn phone,
Speaker 1: they do a professional job. The craziest car chase is
Speaker 1: this dude. I watched the whole thing. You ran from
Speaker 1: La No Long Beach, so just south LA got to
Speaker 1: the border crossing south of San Diego into Tijuana there
Speaker 1: and it's it's just traffic nightmare. So he's like two
Speaker 1: football fields away from freedom and he starts running and
Speaker 1: he and there's something in his hand, and the officers
Speaker 1: are chasing him on foot. He turns around, throws the
Speaker 1: thing in his hand and an officer who catches it,
Speaker 1: gets about fifty feet from the border and they tackle him.
Speaker 1: He threw a baby at him. He threw a baby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you look this up. It's yeah. It was pretty obviously
Speaker 1: a big deal at the time. And I never missed
Speaker 1: a minute from the moment they were trying to pull
Speaker 1: this dude over in Long Beach. So I understand they're
Speaker 1: going to be able to sell it, and I sell
Speaker 1: sounds like a not a generous word, and I don't
Speaker 1: mean it like that. I mean they're going to have
Speaker 1: the ability to make but the politicians still have to
Speaker 1: respond and Karen Bass coming out and going go to
Speaker 1: the URL right or or refuse to answer. Did you
Speaker 1: see the video of her refusing to talk in god.
Speaker 12: There had any of her talking points handed to her
Speaker 12: by by her staff, I guess. And so I mean
Speaker 12: just really awkward and uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: But you know what it.
Speaker 12: Reminded me of of you remember Senator kay Hagen and
Speaker 12: when remember she was she had missed a bunch of
Speaker 12: those Armed Service Committee meetings talking about the rise of ISIS.
Speaker 12: And then she comes out and makes her announcement that
Speaker 12: she's going to run for re election, and then she
Speaker 12: refuses to take any questions and she tries to escape
Speaker 12: in the parking lot. Meanwhile, she had called the press conference,
Speaker 12: so all the media now just follows her out into
Speaker 12: the parking lot and it like just the worst optics
Speaker 12: you could imagine, and she's got nothing to say about
Speaker 12: her absences, and she's just trying to like run away
Speaker 12: like she was caught on one of the uh, you know,
Speaker 12: the child reprendator videos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hey she had Mike's hard lemonade. So I mean, damning,
Speaker 1: uh no, no, And that's actually where I was going
Speaker 1: with this. So, but the ability to do. It cuts
Speaker 1: both ways, and so what you also end up with
Speaker 1: is you saw it. I'm gonna play this for folks
Speaker 1: who haven't heard it. This woman confronting Gavin Newsom who's
Speaker 1: walking in the neighborhood, and this is damn It should
Speaker 1: be damning stuff, right, it should be because this is
Speaker 1: what I remember with Tamala Harris would pretend to be
Speaker 1: on her phone walking to and from the plane. This
Speaker 1: is what Newsom's doing. If you guys haven't heard this,
Speaker 1: let's listen to it together. And then I want to
Speaker 1: I want to have Pete respond, and my question is
Speaker 1: going to be does it move the needle? Here is
Speaker 1: the confrontation.
Speaker 4: Governor, you got a second.
Speaker 8: Governor, Governor, I live here, Governor that was my daughter's school.
Speaker 5: Governor, Please tell me what you're going to do.
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna hurt on my promise. Literally by
Speaker 1: the way, they're getting ready to tage this woman, which
Speaker 1: I guess would have made it worse. But anyway, I continue.
Speaker 8: Talking to the president right now to specifically answer the
Speaker 8: question of what we can do for you and your daughter.
Speaker 1: Can I hear it?
Speaker 2: Can I hear your call?
Speaker 11: Because I don't believe it.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry. There's literally I've tried five times. That's why
Speaker 8: I'm walking around to make this.
Speaker 2: Why is the president not taking your call.
Speaker 4: Because it's not going through.
Speaker 1: Why I have to get cell service.
Speaker 2: Let's get it, let's get it.
Speaker 4: I want to be here when you call the president.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not going to play the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Why doesn't Gavin Newsom has sat phone and you can't
Speaker 1: convince me otherwise by the way his hand, but like
Speaker 1: in his like.
Speaker 12: They wouldn't deploy him, Yeah, like they wouldn't have deployed
Speaker 12: into this disaster area without some form of communication for
Speaker 12: the governor of the state. Like that's not that's just
Speaker 12: not believable. But note the ease with which he lies,
Speaker 12: right he says, I'm on the phone right now. Yeah,
Speaker 12: I'm talking to him right just immediately, I'm talking to
Speaker 12: him right now. And then when she's like can I listen,
Speaker 12: and it's like, oh, I'm actually trying to call him,
Speaker 12: So you're not talking to him right now, and in fact,
Speaker 12: you can't get self service, and I don't even believe that. So, yeah,
Speaker 12: just the striking ease that that he lies with. It's
Speaker 12: I mean It is impressive. I will say that to
Speaker 12: be able to just you know, shift to an alternate
Speaker 12: reality that quickly and then when busted, immediately shift to
Speaker 12: a backup cover story kind of deal. Like, that's impressive.
Speaker 1: It's like the Marble movies now with the multiverse, which
Speaker 1: just it's gotten tired, man, because it doesn't move the needle.
Speaker 1: And and because there's a lot of celebrities that are
Speaker 1: clearly Democrats who are uh you know, are burning up
Speaker 1: their social media accounts. Karen Bass obviously is a lunatic.
Speaker 1: She've been a lunatic. So she's been in uh in Congress.
Speaker 12: And and before that she was running trips to Cuba
Speaker 12: to learn how to be communist revolutionaries.
Speaker 1: Yeah we did. We didn't mention that earlier. And and
Speaker 1: and the irony and the visual irony of Caruso, the
Speaker 1: developer who was who lost her in the race because
Speaker 1: he wasn't bad enough his mall in Pacific Palisades being
Speaker 1: the only thing standing in that rubble. I mean, what
Speaker 1: of what of visually striking, Hey, this is this is
Speaker 1: the guy you could have had things point to La
Speaker 1: residents say, you know what, maybe we need to check.
Speaker 12: So, yeah, this is the old was it Manking? You know,
Speaker 12: they're going to get the government that they deserve, good
Speaker 12: and hard, right, and they're getting it. And what's going
Speaker 12: to compound the problem is the efforts to rebuild, if
Speaker 12: they're even allowed to, like, that's going to be a
Speaker 12: year's long process. These people who have very limited interactions
Speaker 12: with the governments that they vote for and then virtue
Speaker 12: signal about and preme you know that they are of
Speaker 12: high moral standing because they support these radical democrats that
Speaker 12: have lost sight of their core functions of a local
Speaker 12: government or a state government, and they added more and
Speaker 12: more regulations on top of everything. And now it's going
Speaker 12: to take you three years, four years to rebuild that house. Meanwhile,
Speaker 12: your property is probably going to be taken over by
Speaker 12: some homeless people in RVs because they don't go through
Speaker 12: the government pervating process. I think it's going to be
Speaker 12: an eye opener, but I don't think it changes. It might,
Speaker 12: I mean fingers crossed, it might. You know, red pill
Speaker 12: a lot of people. But I'm you know, I'll believe
Speaker 12: that when I see it, because I think the the
Speaker 12: peer pressure component, uh is so great. Now, maybe you know,
Speaker 12: if you've seen Adam Carolla talk about, uh, this the
Speaker 12: the level of regulation necessary to get stuff. He talked
Speaker 12: about a double hull requirement for a pool to be installed.
Speaker 12: They made, they made some Hollywood actor put two holes
Speaker 12: into the pool, like on the like. So you've got
Speaker 12: a pool within a pool. Basically in case the first
Speaker 12: one leaks, then the pool of water doesn't go into
Speaker 12: the ground water.
Speaker 1: If there's one thing they hate in the static, the
Speaker 1: state of California, you'd say, to do where you dig
Speaker 1: a hole and contain water in it, that's.
Speaker 12: True, they do block a lot of that stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 12: so and and I again, I don't know. I would
Speaker 12: like to think that this would be an eye opener,
Speaker 12: but uh, I don't. I don't understand. Uh some of
Speaker 12: the I mean this is remember that old audio clip
Speaker 12: I think it was out of Austin, Texas at the time,
Speaker 12: where a voter was, you know, like a person on
Speaker 12: the street interview was after some sort of a referendum
Speaker 12: on some public referendum on spending for building new arts
Speaker 12: or or sports things or whatever, and she said, I
Speaker 12: voted for every single thing, and now I can't even
Speaker 12: afford to live here, right, Like that kind of disconnect,
Speaker 12: I don't know how you how you beat that if
Speaker 12: they cannot associate the kind of profligate spending with the
Speaker 12: and the DEI stuff and the focus on all things
Speaker 12: that aren't core services that distract like that's you know,
Speaker 12: it's distracting the local governments from their core missions by
Speaker 12: doing all of these other things. And I don't know
Speaker 12: if the people that are applauding and egging on government
Speaker 12: to do all of those other things, I don't know
Speaker 12: if it breaks through that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now and then you have to fix Blain right,
Speaker 1: and of course we went you know that old climate
Speaker 1: change right, let's go Republicans well, and then and then yes,
Speaker 1: CNN yesterday among others, was it's Elon Musk and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump beat me because they're tweeting stuff. Permilla jal. I
Speaker 1: never know how Yeah, she she blamed McDonald's yesterday.
Speaker 12: Apparently I saw, yeah, I saw somebody. Could they call
Speaker 12: this the the r c i P the republic or
Speaker 12: ri i c P the Republican in Closest Proximity Rule? Yeah, yeah, Jarvis, Yeah,
Speaker 12: and it's true. And then of course he says, if
Speaker 12: there are no Republicans like like we're seeing in LA
Speaker 12: where it's the mayor's Democrat, right, all local government's Democrat,
Speaker 12: the state's Democrat, and you've got a Democrat president. There
Speaker 12: isn't a Republican in closest proximity. So then you do
Speaker 12: the hypothetical republican, which is it would have been so
Speaker 12: much worse if hypothetically Donald Trump was the president. This
Speaker 12: would be worse.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, they're like, what are they saying. Oh,
Speaker 1: he was threatening to cut off funding for disaster. No,
Speaker 1: he was saying that if you're not going to use
Speaker 1: the fire dollars to mitigate fires, then he shouldn't give
Speaker 1: you mitigating fire dollars. That's what he said. It's very
Speaker 1: very clear here. No, it's uh, it's it is sheer
Speaker 1: lunacy out there.
Speaker 12: And I did.
Speaker 1: I have relatives out there still, and I talked to
Speaker 1: and I talked to one of my cousins just and
Speaker 1: I admit it. My cousin is he's a Democrat man,
Speaker 1: but he's not one of the you know, the mean ones.
Speaker 1: He's just that's how he is. So we'll have conversations
Speaker 1: and he'll say it and I always forget too, because
Speaker 1: he's a military dude. I'm like, oh, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: He's so red pilled right now. He's so red pilled.
Speaker 1: Right he lives up nor in Ventura, north of La There.
Speaker 1: He's so red pilled right now. It's crazy.
Speaker 12: Well that's I mean, that's encouraging. And by red pills,
Speaker 12: I don't mean you know, Republican no a line now, right,
Speaker 12: just just open eyes, open to to the way that
Speaker 12: these regulatory burdens affect people. And the way that I
Speaker 12: said the other day, I think it was Monday. Bad policy,
Speaker 12: bad politics, and bad priorities. That's what we that's the
Speaker 12: culmination of it. They deprioritize their core function missions and
Speaker 12: they gave higher priority to things that do not matter.
Speaker 12: When when you have failed to do the core mission,
Speaker 12: there is no other reason for a fire department except
Speaker 12: to do this, and when you focus their attention on
Speaker 12: other things, this is what suffers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again I'm going to keep watching. We got
Speaker 1: just about forty five seconds, so we'll have to end
Speaker 1: it here. But look, the disaster that struck western North
Speaker 1: Carolina and the disaster that struck Los Angeles is striking.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles are different for a lot of fundamental reasons.
Speaker 1: Population density and proximity and all. And I will readily
Speaker 1: admit that, but it is undeniable where the priority is.
Speaker 12: And it's right, Well, they didn't CNN did not send
Speaker 12: Cooper Anderson or Anderson Cooper or whatever. They did not
Speaker 12: send him to Western North Carolina. ABC did not send
Speaker 12: David Muir with his clothes spinned Sarkilinton. Yeah, they didn't
Speaker 12: send They didn't send them to Western North Carolina. And
Speaker 12: I think that is indicative of the double standard.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Well, maybe if Western North Carolinians would just have
Speaker 1: six million dollar mansions, this wouldn't happen. I got a roll,
Speaker 1: Thank you sir, and thank you one of the one
Speaker 1: of the women over at ESPN are formerly of ESPN.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter the and it said California is burning and
Speaker 1: all Trump wants to do is rename the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1: And it's one of those where that is where there's
Speaker 1: like six different Rando accounts that all tweeted the same thing.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's the new talking point. This goes
Speaker 1: back to the lack of critical thinking. Let me this like,
Speaker 1: let me give you some of the Golf of Mexico. Ross,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the Gulf of Mexico name
Speaker 1: and you just think it's humorous. Do you think it's good?
Speaker 12: Bad?
Speaker 1: I mean, where where's your head out on this?
Speaker 2: Or is it?
Speaker 1: Inconsequentially?
Speaker 2: I think it's funny.
Speaker 1: It's funny, but it really doesn't. This is what people
Speaker 1: don't understand and this is why the media can get you.
Speaker 1: You know that what you call something isn't what everyone
Speaker 1: else calls it.
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: You realize you realize that rossa what country?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Twice attempted to take over Europe dominate the world and
Speaker 1: was led in part by a failed artist from Austria.
Speaker 1: What country is that? Do you know that?
Speaker 2: That is probably?
Speaker 1: That is not Germany? That is Alamannia. That is Deutschlen
Speaker 1: how dare you right? But we call Germans called it
Speaker 1: Deutschland is what most of the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we call it Germany, but we call it Germany.
Speaker 1: Absolutely? What What country do you live in? Buddy? What
Speaker 1: country do you live in? Ross?
Speaker 2: The United States?
Speaker 1: No, I'm sorry, there is a status anitos or beautiful country?
Speaker 1: Would you translate? That's what the Chinese call and that's
Speaker 1: what Japan and Korea, well Korea does Korea and China
Speaker 1: refer to the US as beautiful country that is literally
Speaker 1: what they call us. What was the what was that
Speaker 1: country we dropped those two atomic weapons on back in
Speaker 1: the forties. Do you know what country that was?
Speaker 2: And that would be a Japan That's a Nihon or.
Speaker 1: Nippon, which is what the Japanese call their own damn country.
Speaker 1: We call it Japan. This is where the lack of
Speaker 1: critical It doesn't matter what you call the Gulf. So
Speaker 1: if Trump and the mayor of or the president of
Speaker 1: Mexico with her stupid map and they want to go back,
Speaker 1: I think it's funny. I don't even have anything against
Speaker 1: the President of Mexico. I want I expect her to
Speaker 1: do that, but I expect her to clown Trump back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, seeing all these reactions from these countries like Australia
Speaker 2: and the EU and taking these actually lawful measures to
Speaker 2: make sure these things don't happen, it makes me giggle
Speaker 2: because I don't think they're gonna happen anyway. Like when
Speaker 2: I hear him say, oh, we're gonna take Greenland or Canada.
Speaker 1: I think there's a real possibility that we try to
Speaker 1: buy Greenland, that we try to buy it, I think, But.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't care one way or the other. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I just I consider I see it as trolling.
Speaker 2: But I mean, if it were to happen, okay, but
Speaker 2: it's not like I'm sitting here going, man, I really
Speaker 2: wish we could get that. I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What was the other country you mentioned when
Speaker 1: you're in your statement there? What is it AUS? What
Speaker 1: was it US?
Speaker 2: What Australia?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I'm sorry, you mean sunburn or Lucky? What's
Speaker 1: your on names? If people call Australia and other parts
Speaker 1: of the world officially. This is the stupidity of this.
Speaker 1: So it then to like pile it on to the
Speaker 1: why the fire, why the fire response is bad because
Speaker 1: trumps What are you even talking about? I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this California not on the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 2: The reaction that's been driving me nuts is you see
Speaker 2: people now on the left, like Chuck Schumer and stuff, going, oh, well,
Speaker 2: you know he's talking about getting these these countries or whatever,
Speaker 2: where he should be focusing on or I saw Eric
Speaker 2: Swa will do this. He should be focusing on lowering
Speaker 2: the cost of groceries and inflation. Where it's like dude,
Speaker 2: what was the Inflation Reduction Act supposed to do? Wasn't
Speaker 2: didn't you already solve that, buddy.
Speaker 1: You know how cheap groceries are on a in a
Speaker 1: grocery store that's on fire.
Speaker 2: It's a good point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your food's already ready, so you got that
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, it's the the the the deflection is absolutely off
Speaker 1: the charts. But it's just little little things, and and
Speaker 1: some of it comes from people don't know that because
Speaker 1: you kind of think within your own bubble, like I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't know Japan didn't call itself Japan. Well, you know, instinctively,
Speaker 1: I remember learning that and going, oh, that makes sense,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Ireland is Orlandia, if you is what
Speaker 1: most of the world calls Ireland in the West or
Speaker 1: in the Western Hemisphere. Yeah, Orlandia, anglic Terra is England, Alamannia,
Speaker 1: Germany and onward and upward. So Italy though everyone kind
Speaker 1: of calls it Italy. I don't know why that is,
Speaker 1: probably because it's where the best chefs are, as we
Speaker 1: pointed out on the show. So yeah, sitting there and
Speaker 1: putting tweets out like that is, but you're not doing it.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you screwing yourself for future elections.
Speaker 1: But Gavin new remember they tried to recall Gavin news
Speaker 1: and he almost got recalled and then he got elected,
Speaker 1: re elected with more votes than he's ever gotten. So
Speaker 1: the attention span on people is very minim very minimal.
Speaker 1: So like the fact that the fires didn't happen in
Speaker 1: proximity to an actual election probably means they're gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: But like I said, you got celebrities out there, like
Speaker 1: who is a Sarah Michelle Geller, City of LA. You
Speaker 1: want everyone to evacuate, You have complete gridlock and not
Speaker 1: a single traffic cop on the roads helping. Well, you
Speaker 1: know what I want you to remember that, Sarah Michelle Geller,
Speaker 1: the next time you get invited to a Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: fundraiser in Brentwood, Okay, don't go. Don't give him any money.
Speaker 1: This is simple stuff. This is easy stuff. It's why
Speaker 1: on this radio show we clown politicians and politicians of
Speaker 1: all stripes. I could make fun of Tom Tillis for
Speaker 1: three hours every day, fifteen hours a week and be
Speaker 1: perfectly fine with it because the guy's a clown. I
Speaker 1: could mock Josh. You know, Josh Stein, you're one of
Speaker 1: the most silver spoon NEPO baby politicians in the state
Speaker 1: of North Carolina who's been elevated to the Governor's office.
Speaker 1: Governor's short round is we're calling him until I think
Speaker 1: of something better all day. I'm going to share a story,
Speaker 1: by the way, because nobody's Ross knows this story because
Speaker 1: the person who he said it to is no longer
Speaker 1: working for the company. So I'll share this story. Do
Speaker 1: you know? Do you know Josh teyn came into the
Speaker 1: radio studio one day as for something else. He was
Speaker 1: here for something else. He did not for not with
Speaker 1: me or Ross or anybody. He met with, met with
Speaker 1: some other folks for some other stuff. It was around,
Speaker 1: you know, campaign stuff and spending and all that. And
Speaker 1: the comment he made to one of our colleagues was, boy,
Speaker 1: that Casey effing hates me is the quote that I heard.
Speaker 1: And he's starting to just kind of chuckle, which is
Speaker 1: actually a very human response. I thought it was very funny.
Speaker 1: But to that, I say, I don't have to and
Speaker 1: I hope that the things that you came and laid
Speaker 1: out that you're going to do are are helpful for
Speaker 1: western North Carolina. Forgive me if I have some trepidation
Speaker 1: watching your inability to criticize what were clearly flawed mechanisms
Speaker 1: of giving relief to the people you're now the governor
Speaker 1: over because you didn't want to. You would have had
Speaker 1: to criticize your own party. I think that that is
Speaker 1: a moral failing on your part. And I hope it
Speaker 1: gets better, and I hope I'm wrong, and I hope
Speaker 1: that you know as you govern and as you do
Speaker 1: the things that you do and we meet these challenges
Speaker 1: that you're acting in a way that is, even if
Speaker 1: it's not always the best way, your intentions are there
Speaker 1: to be better. That's what I expect. And the difference
Speaker 1: is I don't forget, whereas in California, I think the
Speaker 1: Sarah Michelle Gellers of the world, who else was criticized
Speaker 1: and just a there's a bunch in this article here,
Speaker 1: I don't forget and talk to your friends at your
Speaker 1: Golden Globe party or whatever, your giant adrenachrome orgy or
Speaker 1: what you know, wherever you're gonna go this week and
Speaker 1: just be like, this is stupid. What are we doing?
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Let's see Meanwhile, you got. You
Speaker 1: got like people who have decided. Did you see they
Speaker 1: were like laughing over the fact that it was it
Speaker 1: wasn't accurate. But they're like James Wood's house burned down.
Speaker 1: That's karma. That was a professor from the journalism school
Speaker 1: at the University of Missouri. You know them from that
Speaker 1: crazy woman who tried to get students to go beat
Speaker 1: up a reporter and then she got fired, but then
Speaker 1: she got hired by an East Coast university, remember that late,
Speaker 1: that crazy lunatic lady. That's who you got to break through.
Speaker 1: You got to break through those people. And even though
Speaker 1: Sarah Michelle Geller is not the it girl of Hollywood
Speaker 1: right now, everyone knows who she is. She's probably got
Speaker 1: some friends. And you get enough of those friends together
Speaker 1: and maybe you have a real conversation and maybe, just
Speaker 1: maybe you utilize this platform that you have not to
Speaker 1: elevate these lunatics, but rather to say no, enough is enough. Man.
Speaker 1: And if somebody just sent me an email, I was
Speaker 1: just gonna end on this. Gavin Newsom's probably going to
Speaker 1: run for president next time, you know that, right, And
Speaker 1: there is a very high likelihood prior to these fires,
Speaker 1: I would have said he's gonna be the guy. Now
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm I hope that I don't know,
Speaker 1: because if they just rubber stamp him in there, you
Speaker 1: get everything you earn. Like Adam Krola was saying.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a matter of attention span, because in
Speaker 2: the forty eight hours he's had two big blunders.
Speaker 1: They should if he if he does get the nomination,
Speaker 1: Republicans should do nothing but run that clip of him
Speaker 1: talking to that woman.
Speaker 2: What was his other big guy, He's talking to Anderson
Speaker 2: Cooper about the oh, the water and he sort of
Speaker 2: puts his hands up and goes, they'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: The locals, he says, locals problem. Yeah, no, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I raced agic. He's uh semi local. I do one
Speaker 1: of our listeners streams of the showdown Atlanta. I sent
Speaker 1: a picture, you guys, that's rude man.
Speaker 2: He's eating.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I'll probably find one of the meteorologists around here, right.
Speaker 1: So Ro's got a little past a Roker.
Speaker 9: There's a blast from the past. I don't really do
Speaker 9: much with him anymore, So I don't know if that's
Speaker 9: good or bet or indifferent. Uh yeah, either way, I'll
Speaker 9: be big storm anywhere from Atlanta to Birmingham, Nashville getting
Speaker 9: snow and snow and ice and guess what all a
Speaker 9: heading in our direction? Good later today, good fun times.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So when our storm warning's up, snow and ice coming down,
Speaker 9: I think right in the heart of the rush hour later,
Speaker 9: so I'd get out sooner rather than later. I'm worried
Speaker 9: about the ice a little bit. If we get more
Speaker 9: freezing rain tonight early tomorrow than anything else, could have
Speaker 9: way down some tree and power lines. A guide in
Speaker 9: suggesting that better chance to the east southeast, but still
Speaker 9: I would at least prep for maybe some spotty power outages.
Speaker 9: But snow coming in west to east mid to late
Speaker 9: afternoon through tonight, mixing with sleet and freezing rain by
Speaker 9: tomorrow morning when it ends, anywhere from one to two
Speaker 9: inches of snow and ice possible. You know it's gonna
Speaker 9: be tough to measure that with a waiting down of it,
Speaker 9: but just be careful with that ice. Again. We may
Speaker 9: see some icing in some spots too. Augusty wins tomorrow.
Speaker 9: We do get to the mid forties twenty or near
Speaker 9: twenty Sunday morning, so maybe some refreezing near forty in
Speaker 9: the afternoon.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, sir. We'll stay safe and maybe
Speaker 1: we'll talk Monday. Okay, all right, we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1: We'll be back with Jeff Bellenser next. Hang on, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Even though nothing happened yesterday, what happened.
Speaker 4: Not a lot yesterday, but some things are happening today.
Speaker 7: We did not get the goldilocks employment report that Wall
Speaker 7: Street wanted. Job creation was much stronger than expected last month.
Speaker 7: The Labor Department says two hundred fifty twenty six thousand
Speaker 7: workers were added to payrolls in December. The nation's on
Speaker 7: employment rate ticked down to four point one percent. Jobs
Speaker 7: data suggests the Federal Reserve does not have to worry
Speaker 7: about the job market, and this supports the view of
Speaker 7: policymakers they don't have to be in a hurry to
Speaker 7: announce the next interest rate cut. So the stock market
Speaker 7: futures are lower ahead of the Friday session. S and
Speaker 7: P futures down fifty one points. Nasdaq futures are down
Speaker 7: two hundred and twenty five, the Dow futures down two
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty five. Delta Airlines Walgreens both checked in
Speaker 7: this morning with.
Speaker 4: Quarterly results that were better than expected.
Speaker 7: A big deal is in the works in the energy sector,
Speaker 7: with Constellation Energy agreeing to buy Calpine Corporation for nearly
Speaker 7: sixteen and a half billion dollars. The tragic wildfires in
Speaker 7: Los Angeles have caused huge economic losses. ACU Weathers estimates
Speaker 7: run as high as one hundred and fifty billion dollars
Speaker 7: that would rank among the most costly natural disasters in
Speaker 7: modern US history.
Speaker 4: Macy's planning to close dozens of stores.
Speaker 7: The retailer says sixty six of its department stores will
Speaker 7: be shuttered as part of its old New Chapter strategy.
Speaker 7: There are no North Carolina stores on the closing list,
Speaker 7: and the case officials of Target, including directors and several executives,
Speaker 7: are facing a shareholder's lawsuit. The plaintiffs say they were
Speaker 7: misled about the risks of the ill fated twenty twenty
Speaker 7: three pride campaign, which triggered immediate backlash from customers.
Speaker 1: Casey, well, I'm sorry, I don't zone over which company
Speaker 1: was that last story?
Speaker 4: It was Target? Target department stores?
Speaker 1: How did the thing was so on the radar? Was
Speaker 1: it bud Light investors going to sue too? I guess
Speaker 1: we'll see. So you know what's crazy is I just
Speaker 1: realized Elon musk networth is more than the damage in California.
Speaker 1: Really well, you said, what one hundred and fifty billion
Speaker 1: or up to up to one hundred up too, and
Speaker 1: he's I think his market, his work. I know it's
Speaker 1: not money on hand, but it's like twion two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty billion or something, so right with the toy
Speaker 1: of companies and then what he's worth. Oh okay, all right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, sir.
Speaker 4: Do appreciate Okay, sir, I have you have a good
Speaker 4: weekend to talk to you on Monday.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. There you go, Jeff Bellinger, I
Speaker 1: was just rambling out for no reason because somebody's got
Speaker 1: to listen.
