Speaker 1: Very exciting. Sure the kids are freaking out when a
Speaker 1: Halloween's on a Thursday. I'm trying to determine because I
Speaker 1: got from my you know, in a little neighborhood email group,
Speaker 1: and they're like, we're gonna have a trick or treat
Speaker 1: event today and then we're gonna have a trick or
Speaker 1: treat event something on Saturday. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: the kids have earned a tuffer from the calendar or
Speaker 1: if my neighborhood's just gonna have a bunch of fat kids.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're gonna go ahead, and uh, I guess
Speaker 1: get into that thing. But before we do any of that,
Speaker 1: and uh, I know it's very early, I understand that,
Speaker 1: but this can't wait because it is a big day. Look,
Speaker 1: hold on, click the wrong button here. We got to
Speaker 1: solve a mystery first as we get things fulling, and
Speaker 1: before I even give you a show rundown. So get
Speaker 1: your little detective hat, your cheap bottle of booze in
Speaker 1: the drawer, a little gumshoe badge there. We need to
Speaker 1: solve the mystery, and I think this is just the
Speaker 1: crack team to do it. All right, you ready, who
Speaker 1: opened Ross's candy? Already a day early? Who did it?
Speaker 1: Who committed this savage crack?
Speaker 2: Ross?
Speaker 1: Did you open your own candy a day early? Man?
Speaker 1: I saw I saw this bolding last night.
Speaker 3: I am not taking questions at this time. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Well, when you want to give the bottom of the
Speaker 1: theft of your own candy, we.
Speaker 3: Are doing our own internal investigation and I can't comment
Speaker 3: at this time.
Speaker 1: Do you take this very seriously?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 1: Okay, you do? What kind of candy did they abscond with.
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: Do you remember? You remember what kind of candy you ate?
Speaker 3: Now again, I can't comment. I can't comment. Oh, he
Speaker 3: can't do it. It's pretty sad. Would it would impede the
Speaker 3: integrity of the investigation?
Speaker 1: What are you?
Speaker 3: The FBI and the Okay, No, I can't. I can't
Speaker 3: speak on it.
Speaker 1: Is there a client's list involved in this? Should? Should
Speaker 1: I start a movement? All right?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately the candy burglars got to Ross's house yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's very sad. So well, don't let that put you down.
Speaker 1: I should I shouldn't say that Ross is in a
Speaker 1: great mood. He's he is actually in a high res
Speaker 1: vest this morning. And uh, why is the employee of
Speaker 1: the month parking have a garbage truck in it? What's
Speaker 1: up with that? Man? I figured out what it is
Speaker 1: with Trump before we get into this where where his
Speaker 1: sweet Trump's sweet spot is this? And I and it
Speaker 1: hit it hit me when I saw him drive. I
Speaker 1: saw him not just driving or ride around in that
Speaker 1: garbage truck yesterday, but when he then went to a
Speaker 1: his rally Wisconsin's where he was. He goes to his
Speaker 1: rally and he's wearing a suit minus the jacket. And
Speaker 1: instead of the jacket, he now has the high res vest.
Speaker 1: And normally when politicians do this, it's dumb. Can we
Speaker 1: agree on this, right? How many politicians have you seen
Speaker 1: wearing a T shirt? Right? And then at the collar
Speaker 1: you can see the tie under it, because it's like
Speaker 1: you went to this thing and you know people are
Speaker 1: people are volunteering or doing this. Or remember when the
Speaker 1: Democrats decided they were going to get the Kente cloths
Speaker 1: right so they could stunt out and then they we
Speaker 1: have that wonderful photo of them kneeling in the rotunda
Speaker 1: of the Capitol there and without anyone even checking to
Speaker 1: determine that that particular cloth pattern doesn't belong to slavers,
Speaker 1: which it did right The stunts hit week where Trump's
Speaker 1: sweet spot is, and trust me, he deviates outside of
Speaker 1: this like everybody else where Trump's sweetest spot is is
Speaker 1: high school group of high school dudes bored figuring out
Speaker 1: how they can, you know, prank people and mess around
Speaker 1: with people and screw with people. It's it's gotta doesn't
Speaker 1: have a little bully edge, yes, but all of politics
Speaker 1: does if you're going to go negative on your opponent
Speaker 1: at any point. And obviously Trump is fully justified because
Speaker 1: it's not like anyone started positive on him. That being said,
Speaker 1: it doesn't come across as mean spirited. It's funny, do
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's just it's just funny stuff.
Speaker 1: And yeah, if your Kamala, or if you're Kamala right
Speaker 1: now this you thought you had the You thought you
Speaker 1: had the world by the horns man, you thought this
Speaker 1: was done. And granted it's not even you who screwed
Speaker 1: it up. But now that the Pandora's box is open,
Speaker 1: of course, Donald Trump showed Ross called this yesterday. He
Speaker 1: said it would be hilarious if dude got a garbage truck.
Speaker 1: In fact, we I have proof of it because yesterday
Speaker 1: when we were talking about it on the show, Uh,
Speaker 1: we have a listener who drives a garbage truck and
Speaker 1: he offered his garbage truck if Trump would to come
Speaker 1: down to ride in it. So for him to go
Speaker 1: up and do it, it doesn't come across as mean spirited.
Speaker 1: It comes across as hilarious, just chilling in his truck. Well,
Speaker 1: hold on, you turn the volume up please.
Speaker 6: How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is
Speaker 6: an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry coming across this last night, right, Like, dude,
Speaker 3: you're texting me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, rus is not a text case.
Speaker 3: Just the visual of him sitting in the truck with
Speaker 3: the vest, the words, the way he delivers it, the
Speaker 3: way that the way CNN broke away from speaking about
Speaker 3: whatever they were speaking about with the big news crawl
Speaker 3: to show him in the truck because they're horrified. I
Speaker 3: just laughed so hard, and I find myself doing prep.
Speaker 3: It was like thirty minutes later and I'm just doing prep.
Speaker 3: I'm sort of an automode, right, yeah, and it's it's
Speaker 3: I just would think about it now, burst into laughter
Speaker 3: and Mark'd be like, you're thinking about the garbage truck again.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I am. It's funny. It's funny, and that's
Speaker 1: just sweet spot right there.
Speaker 3: The other thing is, like you're talking about political props
Speaker 3: when they become carrot top and stuff, because they write
Speaker 3: these serious issues and they try to them with the
Speaker 3: props sort of make it not as serious. This is
Speaker 3: something it's just funny, man.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, he didn't claim he was gonna go run away.
Speaker 1: He didn't claim I went and did a route and
Speaker 1: you know I need to go shower.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's self deprecating too. It really is,
Speaker 3: because people realize how good like he with him at
Speaker 3: the McDonald's. He's part of the fun.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's again. Is it the most mature thing
Speaker 1: in the world. Not not remotely. However, people also, in
Speaker 1: addition to not liking corrupt politicians, most people and I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about the stick to the issues crowd, most
Speaker 1: people also have zero time for stick in the h
Speaker 1: in the buttox style politicians too. I think they also
Speaker 1: The timing of it is perfect because yes, I did
Speaker 1: a put thank you, Joe. I mean really, yeah, I
Speaker 1: put a pull.
Speaker 3: Up yesterday about election anxiety, like, how are you feeling
Speaker 3: about it? And majority of people are feeling like their
Speaker 3: election anxiety is high. I'm very jealous of the people
Speaker 3: that have say their election anxiety is non existent. But
Speaker 3: the timing of this is perfect because it's light, it's fun,
Speaker 3: it has a sense of joy, right.
Speaker 1: Hold on, But it's not it's not fun. Were you trying,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, were you thinking you were having fun with these?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Because you put it side by side with a Kamala
Speaker 3: where the brown Hitler jacket screaming frantically about concentration camps
Speaker 3: and tyrants and how this is fun to people that
Speaker 3: died at Normandy and all this bull crap, and then
Speaker 3: you put it side by side with and he's just
Speaker 3: a goofy guy having fun in a garbage truck turning
Speaker 3: something that you said that was horrible about the American
Speaker 3: people around, and it's just it's a great moment. It's
Speaker 3: another one of these small moments in the campaign that
Speaker 3: you're gonna remember in your mind.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: We talked before about all the pictures that show up
Speaker 3: in this campaign. When you think about it, think about
Speaker 3: all historic pictures and memes that have come out of
Speaker 3: this campaign.
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean the ones that got memory hold basically
Speaker 1: for pretty much. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a few
Speaker 1: of them. But here's what you don't understand. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: you know who else sought to deal with a garbage
Speaker 1: crisis as part of their initial foray into public office,
Speaker 1: and then it eventually spun out of control because they
Speaker 1: said they could also make the trains work on time,
Speaker 1: and then they made people drink castor oil and brown shirts.
Speaker 1: Do you know who that was? Mussolini? You know how
Speaker 1: I learned that one of MSNBC's reporter also had an
Speaker 1: interest in making sure garbage pickup was was.
Speaker 3: Done and them going that in that direction from this
Speaker 3: goofy moment proves the point right.
Speaker 1: Humorless, absolutely humorless. Oh no, if Kamala was in a
Speaker 1: garbage truck, it'd be the greatest garbage truck.
Speaker 3: And the fact that the garbage truck had a big
Speaker 3: Trump logo on it, you see, it's perfect.
Speaker 1: Well, it made it better.
Speaker 3: If it was like a gold plated garbage truck, that
Speaker 3: would have any funnier, No it what.
Speaker 1: Would have been fire is when it does the thing
Speaker 1: where it's got to compact the trash right, so you
Speaker 1: know it does all its transformer stuff, but the noise
Speaker 1: it makes is her cackling. That would have been more amazing.
Speaker 1: But I digress. Yeah, I I don't know. So I
Speaker 1: saw the Mussolini thing. There's some quibble as to whether
Speaker 1: it's his garbage truck. Uh, even if it's not, you know,
Speaker 1: he could just go buy one today, like you you're
Speaker 1: gonna go buy hot dogs for lunch or whatever.
Speaker 3: The other thing is like yeah, but the other thing
Speaker 3: is like after the whole thing, and he arrives at
Speaker 3: the venue and he's speaking. It is the funniest I've
Speaker 3: ever heard a politician in like any politician sound.
Speaker 1: You know why, It's because when you're having fun. How
Speaker 1: many times you and your boys are having fun. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it might be because you know you're you're probably kind
Speaker 1: of being a little bit of a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: You're making fun of sunny, but you're loving it. Dude,
Speaker 1: you're just dying. You know, remember those moments when you
Speaker 1: were a kid, you sit around your friend's circle and
Speaker 1: you're all laughing. You can't like stop laughing. Like Ross
Speaker 1: was just saying, Trump's doing that now in his seventies,
Speaker 1: right there.
Speaker 3: It sounded like a stand up set. It's something you
Speaker 3: realize the other side can't do because, once again going
Speaker 3: back to this, they're not authentic. He's just sitting there
Speaker 3: riffing on it, like for four or five minutes about
Speaker 3: the concept of the truck, getting in the truck, the vest.
Speaker 3: It's incredible.
Speaker 6: How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is
Speaker 6: an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: Oh, it pans away and you see the giant logo
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, you're supposed to. It's hy res dirus.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. All right, so we got that. What
Speaker 1: is that? Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't
Speaker 1: get things done. It's called a garbage can, not a
Speaker 1: garbage you can't all right now, people are sending me memes.
Speaker 1: Boston Paul suggests you all wear a garbage bag when
Speaker 1: you go to vote. Why so they blend in with you?
Speaker 5: Sir?
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Did you see that when they so they blend in
Speaker 3: with Aaron Boone? Sir, I'm sorry, No, it's not You
Speaker 3: should have been saying that all week to put that
Speaker 3: dude in the sun. Yeah, did you see the video
Speaker 3: of the people on line. I don't know what what
Speaker 3: precinct or district or what state it was in, but
Speaker 3: it was it was you know, somebody was when you
Speaker 3: go to the polling place and they have people from
Speaker 3: the Dems and people from the Republicans, and they hand
Speaker 3: out their flyers, you know, and one of them at
Speaker 3: this location was they were in a red hat and
Speaker 3: they had their flyers there handing out you know, right,
Speaker 3: vote for the people on the right side of the ballot.
Speaker 3: But yeah, instead of like a regular suit or they
Speaker 3: were wearing a trash bag.
Speaker 1: Dice stands out pleasu, you're not wearing a fake lanyard.
Speaker 1: That makes me think you might work for the Yeah. Those,
Speaker 1: by the way, those things we talked about yesterday. I
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure I had had some semilance and
Speaker 1: an idea. Yeah, none of them work for the actual
Speaker 1: polling place. So what's more fun somebody with a fake
Speaker 1: land you'd trying to have you pulled out of a
Speaker 1: polling place using a cop like that story we talked
Speaker 1: about yesterday, Or why is that dude in a trash bag?
Speaker 1: You might think he's a hobo at first, but then
Speaker 1: you're like ah. You know why, because if even for
Speaker 1: a moment in your brain you thought that was funny,
Speaker 1: it's going to reignite that when you thought that was
Speaker 1: funny while you're standing in line, and who knows, maybe
Speaker 1: you're a split ticket voter that's right on the cusp,
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, yeah, that was funny, because
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you're comparing and contrasting it
Speaker 1: against right here.
Speaker 7: Just the other day, I speaker at Israeli called Puerto
Speaker 7: Rico a floating island garbage. Well, let me tell you
Speaker 7: something I don't. I don't know the Puerto rican that
Speaker 7: I know, or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home
Speaker 7: state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only
Speaker 7: garbage I see floating down there is his supporters, his
Speaker 7: his his demonizational scene is unconscionable, and it's on American
Speaker 7: It's totally contrary to everything we've done.
Speaker 1: Right right, Okay, all right, remember that stick in the
Speaker 1: petard there. But also if anyone then took a moment
Speaker 1: to think about it, and actually, I don't know, look
Speaker 1: at or watch the watch the comedy skit there, and
Speaker 1: then maybe catch the Daily Show. You before you know it.
Speaker 1: These are all visual representations. And maybe when you feel
Speaker 1: that the media wasn't being honest with you, and then
Speaker 1: you look into the whole rally and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't see any clan members there. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: visual visual, which which is why most polling places, when
Speaker 1: you're within a certain distance, you can't have campaign stuff
Speaker 1: on because they recognize is the power the susceptibility of
Speaker 1: the American public who's been trained on subconscious advertising and suggestions.
Speaker 1: And and look, look how quickly they turned an entire
Speaker 1: political party to someone that they loathed. They loathed him,
Speaker 1: and I saw somebody saying that or loathed her. I
Speaker 1: saw somebody saying, well, that's how it was for Trump
Speaker 1: when he was on, when he was up there, even
Speaker 1: during the primary, everyone hated him. No, they didn't. The
Speaker 1: other sixteen candidates hated him. I think that's pretty clear.
Speaker 1: But you know there were people who did. It was
Speaker 1: a primary. But with Kamala, even people who had voted
Speaker 1: for her via voting for Biden didn't have a positive
Speaker 1: opinion on her, and they got that bad boy turned
Speaker 1: around like two weeks. Apparently not for enough of them, though,
Speaker 1: So don't give me any of that garbage. Trump in
Speaker 1: the truck, tr I'm taking Q and A in the
Speaker 1: truck is.
Speaker 2: Answering some questions from reporters used to make that statement.
Speaker 1: He's sitting in the truck, He's sittings he's not an
Speaker 1: electern right, he's he didn't walk into the Gold Room
Speaker 1: of the White House. He's sitting in a waste management
Speaker 1: truck up in Wisconsin with a high res vest on.
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, we'll get to this. And they had
Speaker 1: to throw to Is that answering some questions from reporters.
Speaker 2: Used to make that statement.
Speaker 1: All right, so we'll I'm teasing you because I gotta
Speaker 1: go to break, but when we come back, we'll we'll
Speaker 1: get into all the truck insanity.
Speaker 3: I heard she's going to show up on the Kamal
Speaker 3: is going to show up on the tarmac today dressed
Speaker 3: as an apostrophe. Can you confirm uh apostrophe?
Speaker 1: Dude. I'll tell you what if caut I I know
Speaker 1: people are gonna like this if Kamala got out of
Speaker 1: Air Force two in a high res vest like a
Speaker 1: ground crew and airport with those little uh the little
Speaker 1: glow sticks. I'm trying to I'm trying to think if
Speaker 1: I think it's funny or it would just be sad.
Speaker 1: I don't know. She should try and let's see, we'll
Speaker 1: be back hang on. Obviously they listened to the show
Speaker 1: because it was on this show yesterday. I believe Ross said,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be funny if he drove a garbage or
Speaker 1: rode in a garbage truck? Yeah, he didn't just ride
Speaker 1: in one. He got in one with his high viz vest.
Speaker 1: Somebody said, I said, Rez, I don't know. I probably did,
Speaker 1: but you know he's got his orange, little green reflectively vest.
Speaker 5: And he.
Speaker 1: He didn't just pose for the photo in the truck.
Speaker 1: He did a press gaggle from the truck in the
Speaker 1: passenger seat, put his arm there. And remember he's wearing
Speaker 1: every other aspect of his suit minus the jacket so
Speaker 1: that he could put the vest on. And he's just
Speaker 1: chilling in there, just as comfortable. That's the other thing,
Speaker 1: as comfortable as could be. It's a lot of funny
Speaker 1: moments are due to the sheer discomfort of the politician
Speaker 1: who wants to go play pretend. Trump's playing pretend and
Speaker 1: he's all in on it. So he does the gaggle
Speaker 1: and then when the gaggle's over, he does his rally
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin and he leaves the vest On, and of
Speaker 1: course half the people swooned. Half the people lost their
Speaker 1: ever loving minds. All right, let's get to the press.
Speaker 1: Gaggles shells answering some questions.
Speaker 2: Just to make that statement, it's really a disgress.
Speaker 1: They're having to yell up eight feet at him because
Speaker 1: the truck it's uh, well we'll find out. It's it's
Speaker 1: high up, you know. And like there's a thing, there's
Speaker 1: a there's one of these fung shway things. I don't
Speaker 1: know fun shway is the right word. But if you
Speaker 1: ever walk into an office of a you know, like
Speaker 1: a CEO of a big company, Trump's office is set
Speaker 1: up like this. He literally explained it on The Apprentice
Speaker 1: one time. There's a lot of subconscious things when people
Speaker 1: put those offices together. Now I'm not a scientist, and
Speaker 1: some of the stuff, see, but it's like Trump's handshake.
Speaker 1: He buys into all this stuff. So when he shakes
Speaker 1: your hand, he's gonna try to He's going to try
Speaker 1: to move you because if he can, if he forces
Speaker 1: you to even take a half step, it's a subconscious
Speaker 1: superiority thing. One of the ways you achieve that in
Speaker 1: an office setting is you elevate the person. It's why
Speaker 1: stages are elevated. Mentally, we just accept that if somebody's
Speaker 1: in an elevated position, there in a position of authority,
Speaker 1: or they have the room, so to speak.
Speaker 3: Andy Kaufman did an old bit on this when he
Speaker 3: had like an old like gear like a skit show,
Speaker 3: and in the skit he was doing like a Tonight
Speaker 3: show type thing, but his desk was like twenty feet
Speaker 3: up in the air.
Speaker 1: Look, yeah, it's like it's like, who's the espnu, who's
Speaker 1: got the Really they make fun of him itself. But
Speaker 1: the point, the point is like we know that subconsciously
Speaker 1: if you're looking up it's and so there is a
Speaker 1: little of that right there. They're like children talking to
Speaker 1: the garbage man. It's funny as hell, you know.
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll have to be used.
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna have a big picture, and I
Speaker 6: think two hundred and fifty million people in this country
Speaker 6: are gonna be very happy because we're gonna bring the
Speaker 6: country back where a nation in decline, very very serious
Speaker 6: to tribe, and we're gonna bring our country back.
Speaker 1: And I want to go back to that reporter's question
Speaker 1: because it's such a stupid question. You said that the
Speaker 1: National Guard might need to be used on election day?
Speaker 1: What did you mean by that? What do you think
Speaker 1: he meant by that? This is what I hate about
Speaker 1: reporters like like your your your bold question, where the
Speaker 1: man is clearly pointing out that if if, if people
Speaker 1: lose their mind and start burning US cities, then the
Speaker 1: national You would agree with that, right, ross? Would you
Speaker 1: agree that if people start burning cities to the ground
Speaker 1: over election results, that the National Guard might need to
Speaker 1: be mobilized, especially.
Speaker 3: Because they've been hyping it up as if this guy's
Speaker 3: a Nazi and the next Hitler, And you can see
Speaker 3: how people on the left would like overreact and set
Speaker 3: things on fire.
Speaker 1: They even said they remember they read an article saying
Speaker 1: that he's even if he loses, he's still gonna do
Speaker 1: the Hitler stuff. So that's what he means, you know
Speaker 1: what he means. But like he's gonna in a moment
Speaker 1: of whoopsie, he's just gonna be like, yeah, we're gonna,
Speaker 1: we're gonna right before the announce the results, We're gonna
Speaker 1: coo the country.
Speaker 8: Shut Upon is a great guy.
Speaker 6: He's one of our geniuses, and we have to protect
Speaker 6: our geniuses. We have to take care of our genius.
Speaker 6: I love Puerto Rico, and Puerto Rico loves me.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about it, comedian. I just I
Speaker 2: love Quarto.
Speaker 7: Rick you go.
Speaker 2: Nobody's done more for Puerto Rico than me.
Speaker 6: I took care of them when they had the big hurricanes,
Speaker 6: and nobody nobody gets along better with Puerto Rico and
Speaker 6: the Puerto Rican people people to me, they love me and.
Speaker 2: I love them.
Speaker 1: Can you ros I want you to imagine being Keith
Speaker 1: Oberman watching this. But he gets to the Puerto Rico bar.
Speaker 1: Have we done a wellness check on Keith Oberman? Do
Speaker 1: we know if he's okay? I don't think he could
Speaker 1: have handled that? And we ate dumb my response? Did
Speaker 1: you all right? So this now he's transitioned from the
Speaker 1: trash truck to the Do we call it a trash
Speaker 1: truck or is there some PC thing?
Speaker 7: Nah?
Speaker 1: I know a couple guys in this business and they
Speaker 1: don't strike me as PC. So uh, Anyway, he's out
Speaker 1: of the trash truck into the rally in Wisconsin, high
Speaker 1: high visibility vests still adorned upon his body, and uh,
Speaker 1: he just it's it's just a continuation, man Like He's
Speaker 1: just you know, when you're feeling really good and then
Speaker 1: the next thing that comes up, you just approach with
Speaker 1: a lot probably better attitude and vigor. Dude rolls in
Speaker 1: and he's still rocking the vest is the visual reminder
Speaker 1: and it was funny.
Speaker 2: My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple.
Speaker 6: You can't lead America if you don't love Americans.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 6: You can't be president if you hate the American people,
Speaker 6: which I believe they do.
Speaker 1: It's look, it's clear, and I know you're not going
Speaker 1: to control what Trump says, but it's clear that the
Speaker 1: people they have around them in his campaign now, and
Speaker 1: it's not all of them, but a lot of them
Speaker 1: are different and that's for the better. Uh, Ross, You've
Speaker 1: you've recognized that trump early presidential campaign, this cycle and
Speaker 1: the late one are remarkably different. You would agree, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: so good on you whoever got in there. And it's
Speaker 1: and it's it's a lot of little things, right, and
Speaker 1: I again, I don't know the level of influence they
Speaker 1: have on Trump. I don't know where they if he
Speaker 1: himself has been more you know, he used to just
Speaker 1: do it a lot of times, you just look at
Speaker 1: something and go, f that, I'm gonna do it. And
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's more reflective. And I don't know
Speaker 1: whether it's Butler, the people around him, or just the
Speaker 1: momentum he has, but he's been He's handled things with
Speaker 1: a couple exceptions, pretty flawless. I know the media won't
Speaker 1: tell you that, but but you know, his messaging up
Speaker 1: there behind the podium, it says Trump will fix it.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: That's that was a shift in messaging, and I think
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good one. And that line about you
Speaker 1: can't govern the American people if you don't love the
Speaker 1: American people, it's a pretty that's a pretty strong line
Speaker 1: with a lot of people, especially if you're somebody who's
Speaker 1: told that inherently you're you're racist, or inherently or this
Speaker 1: or that because you happen to have a good job,
Speaker 1: or and you're sitting there, especially when you're somebody liking
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. He'd be the extreme example, but a lot
Speaker 1: of people who were sitting there going I've been you know,
Speaker 1: I voted Democrat, and I you know, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that I wanted to do that you said
Speaker 1: you wanted to do, but I just can't anymore. And
Speaker 1: the attitude that's going to get you there is they
Speaker 1: hate me. They hate me for no reason. Do you
Speaker 1: see the people who want Elon deported and they're running
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden was I'm sorry, will you put the
Speaker 1: Biden Elon cutback up? We never got to it the
Speaker 1: other day, like the natural Progress, I understand you think
Speaker 1: you're in a gotcha circle. They're like, oh, look at this.
Speaker 1: Elon may have transitioned his visa from a J one
Speaker 1: to a or from a student one to a J
Speaker 1: two or like and admittedly I don't understand all of it,
Speaker 1: but they have like intricate moonbats coming out. Well, technically
Speaker 1: he could transition, but he would have had to physically
Speaker 1: leave the country or he'd have to convince a pe
Speaker 1: And they don't know anything. It's all speculative and they're
Speaker 1: sitting there and they're like, well, the obvious thing is
Speaker 1: he violated that we needed to port him. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question and then they'll go. Because Trump
Speaker 1: wants to deport the migrants here. All right, let me
Speaker 1: ask you. Let me ask you this. What do you
Speaker 1: think would happen if Trump went and Elon went, h okay,
Speaker 1: I'll will deport me, and then we'll deport every single
Speaker 1: migrant You got your way. Think about what you're going after,
Speaker 1: think about what you're hoping to achieve. It would be
Speaker 1: an actual nightmare. You know what Elon would do. He'd
Speaker 1: go buy a country and then you know, crack open,
Speaker 1: Hey it's a Lanistan or whatever that means, and then
Speaker 1: just fire his rockets off.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 3: That's also the argument against the unrealized capital gains, right,
Speaker 3: because if you're gonna be taking that, he's going to
Speaker 3: leave the country, and you know what's going to happen
Speaker 3: to the stock market, right, Yeah, and everybody.
Speaker 1: Else went ninety percentile dep Pardue held that presser like
Speaker 1: three days later, actor and after that money left, right.
Speaker 1: And it happened in Norway, and it happened. I was
Speaker 1: watching a documentary in Switzerland. Did you see what's going
Speaker 1: on in Switzerland with the grocery police? So Switzerland obviously
Speaker 1: is you know, it's a country. I think they have
Speaker 1: nine or ten million people there and the majority of
Speaker 1: people in Switzerland due to well one, Geneva being where
Speaker 1: it is, but in Switzerland live within a few minutes
Speaker 1: drive of the border. And on the French side, it's
Speaker 1: the groceries in France are less than half the price
Speaker 1: they are in Switzerland, and when you're EU it's a
Speaker 1: lot easier to flow. So Switzerland figured out because they
Speaker 1: have these huge taxes on groceries, that Swiss people were
Speaker 1: just driving into France buying groceries and then coming back
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they're like, why is
Speaker 1: anyone buying groceries here? Well, you've taxed them to the
Speaker 1: so they're double and so they ended up having to
Speaker 1: spend a bunch of money to it looks like North
Speaker 1: Korea some of these some of these border crossings, and
Speaker 1: they have a show I kids you not. I saw
Speaker 1: it dubbed in English on YouTube kind of like cops,
Speaker 1: but it's grocery cops, and it's just it's just grocery
Speaker 1: cops trying to find people that are crossing, you know,
Speaker 1: crossing over in some of these areas that have like
Speaker 1: a trunk with groceries in it, you can't have you'd
Speaker 1: have little stuff, but not enough They had a family
Speaker 1: and a van that was sitting in like a booking
Speaker 1: station while the vehicle was being ripped apart. And it's
Speaker 1: mom and dad and like four kids, and they have
Speaker 1: a table that's visible to them, but they can't reach
Speaker 1: it of all the groceries, like they're stacking bricks of cocaine.
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, I don't remember how I wanted it
Speaker 1: all in here. I was just blown away by watching that.
Speaker 1: And so you know, this is all of this stuff
Speaker 1: goes into the uh in the factor.
Speaker 3: You have people that are like, Okay, well if they
Speaker 3: did leave, if that didn't happen, that doesn't affect me. Well,
Speaker 3: do you have a four to one k because it
Speaker 3: would affect you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I kind of feel like that's gonna that's
Speaker 1: gonna impact but it all but in the longer term,
Speaker 1: it also impacts you a little bit.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: One of the things that the US has done over
Speaker 1: the years, although to set with some questionability post World
Speaker 1: War two, is we have we have strived so that
Speaker 1: smart people want to come here and set up shop here.
Speaker 1: They want to if you're if you are somebody who
Speaker 1: is who is a good who is very good at entrepreneurship.
Speaker 1: You may be, you may be, you may stick in
Speaker 1: your part of the world, but a crap ton of
Speaker 1: them come here. You know why, Because if you're that
Speaker 1: motivated and you're that good at at this particular thing,
Speaker 1: there's no arena bigger than the United States. That's where
Speaker 1: you're gonna go prove your metal. And if you're a
Speaker 1: driven individual, that's what you're gonna do. And if you're
Speaker 1: really into the tech side of it, the I don't
Speaker 1: know where you go other than the US. I understand
Speaker 1: the Chinese are doing what they're doing, but a lot
Speaker 1: of it's just ripped off blueprints they stole off the Internet.
Speaker 1: They're not innovating over there. They're innovating on their ability
Speaker 1: to make knockoff rolexes.
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 1: Ross?
Speaker 5: Do you know?
Speaker 1: In China they're so good at making knockoff rolexes. There's
Speaker 1: a term for a knockoff that's so good, called epic,
Speaker 1: and they use that as code so that online sellers
Speaker 1: don't get in the way. So it's not a real rolex,
Speaker 1: but it's a thousand dollars because it's so close. That's
Speaker 1: the technology they're innovating on. We're sitting here, like, let's
Speaker 1: go to space. What do we do with these Nazi scientists.
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know, give them a house, which
Speaker 1: is a thing that happened. But in more of a sense,
Speaker 1: you tell the world, Hey, if you're really, really smart,
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of money to spend, or you
Speaker 1: got you got a bunch of money to be made.
Speaker 1: Chances are you can get in here and people will go, oh, well,
Speaker 1: how come they had an easier time and they were
Speaker 1: able to buy land and they gave them an exemption
Speaker 1: all that, And it's like, because they're rich and they
Speaker 1: make money. Every other country, almost every other country on
Speaker 1: the world, requires you to show proof of financial the
Speaker 1: ability to financially be able to not just be a
Speaker 1: bum here, you know, not just come and show up.
Speaker 1: In some countries you go into you have to provide
Speaker 1: bank account details. Now with the US, we don't see
Speaker 1: it as much because US passport holders are generally assumed
Speaker 1: by most other countries to have the financial wherewithal I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the craziest thing I've ever seen, and we'll
Speaker 1: get into the rest of this Trump thing. Because him
Speaker 1: explaining the vest and everything it requires all to be
Speaker 1: done at once. It's that great. But you know, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, the craziest thing that I ever saw from
Speaker 1: an American perspective is that I got panhandled in a
Speaker 1: foreign country by an American who had gone to this country.
Speaker 1: And I don't even and just I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: smoked all his money away, injected it. I don't know
Speaker 1: how he got there. He looked pretty rough, who was
Speaker 1: running a scam, trying to tell me he was Jamie
Speaker 1: Diamond's son and he couldn't reach his father, and I
Speaker 1: just started, I'm just laughing at the dude. I'm like,
Speaker 1: who does that? I asked, who does that work on?
Speaker 1: And he just got kind of angry, and I wasn't
Speaker 1: being insensive. I'm just like, come on, bro, nobody's thinking
Speaker 1: here Jamie Diamond's son. I did give him roughly about
Speaker 1: like three dollars, and I understand he's on a houstle,
Speaker 1: but the dude looked like he was having a bad day.
Speaker 1: So my point is, you have this, There is this,
Speaker 1: There is this notion across the world, whether you are rich,
Speaker 1: poor or otherwise, the USA is the place you want
Speaker 1: to be and not everyone and shares it. And arguably
Speaker 1: when we have politicians that run out and go everything
Speaker 1: sucks here. Everybody's racist and it's just horrible. That cuts
Speaker 1: into that. But wanting to be the place where the
Speaker 1: cool kids come and the people who can propel your
Speaker 1: economy and whatnot, there's nothing wrong with that. We just
Speaker 1: happen to have the venue for it. All right, little
Speaker 1: teaser on the best thing because it is so fun.
Speaker 1: And one of my people came in and said, sir, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on.
Speaker 2: My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple.
Speaker 6: You can't lead America if you don't love Americans.
Speaker 1: It's a strong thing. And they would tell you it's nationalism,
Speaker 1: but it's not, and unless you ask them, then it is.
Speaker 1: And I've never understood. Well it's say, all right, so
Speaker 1: if you really so, do you not love the country? Well, no,
Speaker 1: we do, so you're nationalists because that's like your only
Speaker 1: standard is somehow they profess love for the country. So
Speaker 1: right after that, what does he do? He starts professing
Speaker 1: love for his vest.
Speaker 6: And one of my people came in and said, sir,
Speaker 6: you know, the word garbage is the hottest thing right
Speaker 6: now out there, the hottest thing out there, Sir, would
Speaker 6: you like to drive a garbage truck?
Speaker 1: Hell?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Now we're about, you know, thirty minutes from landing.
Speaker 6: We had to do this pretty quick. I said, it's
Speaker 6: sort of cool, though, isn't it, because you know and
Speaker 6: I said, you know, I think that's okay, but you know,
Speaker 6: I don't feel comfortable wearing a suit and they pulled
Speaker 6: up this garbage truck.
Speaker 2: I don't know how the hell they did it so fast.
Speaker 2: I have very capable, all.
Speaker 1: Right, hanging on the rest in a moment, phone number
Speaker 1: eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: That'll get you on the show this morning. I mean,
Speaker 1: unless you call and say something stupid, then Ross will
Speaker 1: put you on. But you know, if you want to
Speaker 1: weigh on things we're talking about, Phil Free like, uh,
Speaker 1: Trump and a trash truck. Trump and a trash truck
Speaker 1: and in one of the vests, the high visibility vests,
Speaker 1: and then Trump with the same vest going to his
Speaker 1: rally in Wisconsin and Ross, would you say there was
Speaker 1: any joy there with the whole with the whole litany
Speaker 1: of events with the trash truck and Trump, because he
Speaker 1: looked like a dude who was very he was having fun.
Speaker 3: Dude, he was having so much fun.
Speaker 1: So case you're wondering, because I saw people on MSNBC
Speaker 1: with Kamala, where did the joy go? Trump bought it.
Speaker 1: That's what billionaires do. They see something they like and
Speaker 1: they acquire it. I guess, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's just more effective too. It's one of these images, right,
Speaker 3: Like I saw somebody mentioned that, you know, side by side,
Speaker 3: which pictures do you think are more effective? And then
Speaker 3: like the picture on the right was Kamala with the
Speaker 3: cast of the Avengers backstage at a rally, and I
Speaker 3: left there was a picture of Trump with the workers
Speaker 3: at the McDonald's handing out fries, and the other one
Speaker 3: him in the garbage truck, like sitting side by side
Speaker 3: with the driver.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to pick on garbage guys,
Speaker 1: but you tell me I can hang out with the
Speaker 1: guy who picks my tray today's trash day, the dude
Speaker 1: who picks up my trash today, or Scarlet Johansson. No,
Speaker 1: but I mean which one doesn't think dude did.
Speaker 3: Understand which one is more relatable to the average work Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well hands down the guy who's gonna swing by
Speaker 1: my house today, Yeah, Or guys. Uh, I guess yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Oh, but also I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk to Scarlett, So there's that. So AnyWho, all right,
Speaker 1: let's get let's get back into this. Also, oh, look
Speaker 1: at this, I had no idea. I had no idea
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: I want to remind you too. Coming up, Congressman Richard
Speaker 1: Hudson will join us at seven thirty five. Uh, he
Speaker 1: will be in Ah, he's going to be in a
Speaker 1: should we put him in a trash should we have
Speaker 1: him a t rash truck for the interview. I'm just
Speaker 1: talking about related Bill. Well, he's in Fayetteville, so he,
Speaker 1: like the ducoccus urge has to be there all the time, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: stick me in a military thing, give me a helmet
Speaker 1: and take a picture.
Speaker 3: Oh that's the thing that pissed me off. So somebody
Speaker 3: yesterday was mentioning how they were like, how many doucoccus
Speaker 3: moments has Trump had in this campaign?
Speaker 1: And they're there, you don't clearly understand what it do
Speaker 1: caucus moment.
Speaker 3: Their example was the McDonald's thing and this thing yesterday
Speaker 3: sitting in the garbage truck and what made the caucus
Speaker 3: moment of the Ducoccus moment was it was a dude
Speaker 3: who was obviously very weak trying to look like he
Speaker 3: was strong, and it looked ridiculous. This is if you're
Speaker 3: looking for the Doucacus moment of this campaign, it would
Speaker 3: be Tim Walls with that rifle with the shotgun.
Speaker 1: Well, Tim Walls with the shotgun, or Tim Walls with
Speaker 1: the tweets about Kamala or excuse me aoc runs of
Speaker 1: mean pick six for her offense. Yeah, yeah, those are
Speaker 1: Ducoccus moments. That's where you get call because you are
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's like it's like a
Speaker 1: card game where you bid. So if you play like
Speaker 1: spades or something where you bid right, and you're bidding
Speaker 1: when you're claiming, you're gonna do something. So when you're caught,
Speaker 1: when you're when you're do caucus, you're like, ah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put this on and I'm going to project power.
Speaker 1: I've actually read about his advisors thought it would project power.
Speaker 3: Right, and it looks stupid and it looks stupid.
Speaker 1: Whereas Trump's not promising he's gonna go run uh garbage
Speaker 1: pickup that day, right, he just he's like, oh, they
Speaker 1: look at this cool truck. And if you're a guy
Speaker 1: who works, if your guy who works in waste management,
Speaker 1: the truck that you use is foreign to most people. Right,
Speaker 1: they get in there. And I'm a guy who can
Speaker 1: run heavy equipment. Right, I can run a gray I
Speaker 1: can run most of the cat equipment. I can run
Speaker 1: a back home. Just because you know, these are these
Speaker 1: are skills that were necessarily picked up when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. We actually co own a greater so our
Speaker 1: road stays open. But also working in directional boring, uh,
Speaker 1: doing some roofing things like that. You know, keep myself
Speaker 1: busy with work, either while I was in school or
Speaker 1: after but while the radio thing was picking up and
Speaker 1: and but they're still cool, every every kid for the
Speaker 1: most part. If you were to put them in an act,
Speaker 1: you remember when you were a little kid and you
Speaker 1: had the the you had the the back hoe toy.
Speaker 1: And then maybe you go to the park where you
Speaker 1: had that back hoe kind of ride thing there were
Speaker 1: you dig in the sand. Ask any eight year old
Speaker 1: boy if he wants to see the inside of that
Speaker 1: of that back hoe, and uh, it'll it'll look like
Speaker 1: a clown car in there. They'll get excited. So people
Speaker 1: have a national that we have an interest to learn
Speaker 1: about things. It doesn't have to be heavy equipment, but
Speaker 1: to learn about things. And it's clear that Trump is
Speaker 1: fascinated and actually fascinated or one of the best actors
Speaker 1: with the aspects of that job. And everybody, I don't
Speaker 1: care what you do. There's some unique thing about your
Speaker 1: job that a lot of people don't know that they
Speaker 1: probably find interesting. Not this job, right, it's very boring
Speaker 1: what Ross and I do, but most jobs, and Trump
Speaker 1: not only. And here's how you know he found it interesting.
Speaker 1: You ready, he wouldn't shut up about it when he
Speaker 1: got inside. All right, let's let's dive back into that.
Speaker 6: And one of my people came in and said, sir,
Speaker 6: you know, the word garbage is the hottest thing right now,
Speaker 6: out there, the hottest.
Speaker 2: Thing out there, sir, would you like to drive a
Speaker 2: garbage truck?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: We're about, you know, thirty minutes from landing. We had
Speaker 2: to do this pretty quarly. I said, it's sort of cool, though,
Speaker 2: isn't it, because you know?
Speaker 6: And I said, you know, I think that's okay, but
Speaker 6: you know, I don't feel comfortable wearing a suit.
Speaker 2: And they pulled up this garbage truck. I don't know
Speaker 2: how the hell they did it so fast. I have
Speaker 2: very capable people. They put a big sign on the truck.
Speaker 2: Did you see it? I think they show it to you.
Speaker 6: And then they said, sir, we have a vest. I said, well,
Speaker 6: should I leave my suit on and put it over
Speaker 6: the vest? But that doesn't look very good? Right, that
Speaker 6: doesn't look good? So I said, look, let me take
Speaker 6: it off. And then I actually said I climbed into
Speaker 6: the truck. But so I said, how the hell do
Speaker 6: you get into the truck? It's way up high, it's
Speaker 6: a big way.
Speaker 2: This was a beauty. I said, you didn't have to
Speaker 2: buy it that big, right, you have to get it
Speaker 2: that big. They brought this.
Speaker 6: Brand new, gorgeous truck. Wonderful driver. He looked like Carrie
Speaker 6: Grant in his prime. You know that, this beautiful driver,
Speaker 6: and he drove that big thing up.
Speaker 1: And this isn't this is a little trump thing that
Speaker 1: he does. And he did it the other day about
Speaker 1: the pilots on Air Force One. Anyone he wants to
Speaker 1: tell you a story about looks like a movie star.
Speaker 1: And people are like and then they'd bele like, wow,
Speaker 1: they don't actually look like that, but like he went
Speaker 1: on like a three minute ran about the pilots on
Speaker 1: Air Force one, talking about how capable they are. But
Speaker 1: also he thought when he first walked in there that
Speaker 1: there was a problem because they looked like they were
Speaker 1: for a photo shooter Central Casting. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't remember seeing their photos, so I don't know
Speaker 1: the answer to that. But it's a thing that he does.
Speaker 1: And people are like, well, he's lying. The guy doesn't
Speaker 1: look like Kerry Grant. Well, you know what, your wife
Speaker 1: also doesn't look good in that dress. Okay, so not
Speaker 1: your wife. Your wife looks great in that dress. The
Speaker 1: other guy, the guy we don't like. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 1: she has a bad attitude. So I have no problem
Speaker 1: saying that. It's it's like, if this is what you're
Speaker 1: getting hung up on, you're missing the forest for the trees,
Speaker 1: because listen to the audience, and I know it's his people,
Speaker 1: but also I'm sure there were people involved in the stunt,
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, it is a
Speaker 1: stunt that also were not necessarily they didn't know what
Speaker 1: to think of Trump or maybe didn't like the guy.
Speaker 1: And I have to wonder how interacting with him when
Speaker 1: And I think that's the true test when you do
Speaker 1: this stuff, as Ross pointed out, if you say you're
Speaker 1: going to do it and all trucks, all Trump's promising
Speaker 1: is to hey, I'm gonna go right around on the
Speaker 1: truck and do a little press gaggle from it. Then
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's met his obligations, whereas Ducacus was
Speaker 1: going to project power and it was absolutely laughable. All right,
Speaker 1: let's let's continue the journey.
Speaker 2: So I said, Man, if I don't get up there,
Speaker 2: this is going to be very embarrassing. He's stupid.
Speaker 6: People they'll say he's cognitively and physically impaired.
Speaker 1: By the way Ross, I want to see Joe Biden
Speaker 1: and Trump in a get in a garbage truck off right,
Speaker 1: we got two identical trucks. They'd both be wearing suits
Speaker 1: minus the jacket with the vest, and let's just see
Speaker 1: you can get in the truck. Let's go, and we
Speaker 1: should start now. So we have a winter by the
Speaker 1: end of the weekend.
Speaker 2: And I can't that when I'm alongside of this great athlete.
Speaker 2: I got to get up to that. So so look,
Speaker 2: so the stair, the first stair is like up here.
Speaker 2: I'm sick, so so I had the adrenaline going.
Speaker 7: And I made it.
Speaker 1: All right. So and you know he's he's relating the
Speaker 1: story there. But the but the deal is because then
Speaker 1: people like you just get to your mess. Everyone's having
Speaker 1: a good time there. Have you ever been to a
Speaker 1: Trump rally? That's about seventy five percent of it, well
Speaker 1: unless you sit in the media part where I sat,
Speaker 1: And then about half of it is people asking you
Speaker 1: if you're dumb, questions, try to make fun of you,
Speaker 1: and it's funny as hell. And it's what's really funny
Speaker 1: is some of the traveling press from the leftist organizations,
Speaker 1: like it's just there. There are people who follow Trump
Speaker 1: around the rallies who then make a point to go
Speaker 1: check in and make fun of the piece. So there's
Speaker 1: like this weird relationship with like the MSNBC guy and
Speaker 1: these three women that apparently follow Trump. Brown. I just
Speaker 1: happen to witness this in Charlotte, and they all knew
Speaker 1: each other, like first named Basis was the It was
Speaker 1: the most high school thing I'd ever seen. All Right,
Speaker 1: one more real quick, Uh finish your story, sir, And then.
Speaker 2: We drove about two feet I got a got into
Speaker 2: the player.
Speaker 6: And then I got in the car and I'm driving
Speaker 6: over here and I have this still long and I
Speaker 6: come into the arena and I say, where's my jacket?
Speaker 2: I want to get out of this stage. And they
Speaker 2: said it would be unbelievable if you could wear it
Speaker 2: on stage.
Speaker 1: I said, so you made the right decision.
Speaker 2: And I said, no way. I got twenty five thousand
Speaker 2: people standing.
Speaker 6: Out, son, I got all these people here, there's no
Speaker 6: way I'm wearing it on stage. They said, oh, okay, sir,
Speaker 6: I said, get me my jacket. But if you did,
Speaker 6: you know it actually makes you look thinner.
Speaker 2: I said, cool, and they got me. I said, I
Speaker 2: want to wear it on stage. When they said I
Speaker 2: looked thinner.
Speaker 1: I said, in that case, oh to the video where
Speaker 1: I saw this, this exchange right here to the first
Speaker 1: comment under it was this guy who had a Ukraine
Speaker 1: you know flag in his in his Twitter account photo
Speaker 1: and he just that conversation didn't happen. Joyless man, just
Speaker 1: absolutely joyless. Actually that's not fair. Maybe there is some
Speaker 1: joy going on over there. Let's hear from Kamala on
Speaker 1: this whole garbage insanity show.
Speaker 9: Listen, I think that. First of all, he clarified his comment,
Speaker 9: but let me be clara. I strongly disagree with any
Speaker 9: criticism of.
Speaker 2: People based on who they vote for.
Speaker 9: As you've heard in my speech last night and continuously
Speaker 9: throughout my career. I believe that the work that I do,
Speaker 9: it's about representing all the people, whether they support me
Speaker 9: or not.
Speaker 1: All right, And this is what I wants you to
Speaker 1: think about as we continue to listen to the rest
Speaker 1: of this. This is a reaction to a thing that
Speaker 1: twenty four hours ago she thought probably was gonna win
Speaker 1: her the election. I didn't say she's right, but she
Speaker 1: probably thought that. And now she's the one having to
Speaker 1: hold a somber well, it was clarified. It's not what
Speaker 1: they meant. And my other like she's having it's like
Speaker 1: she's the one who's having to defend the thing that
Speaker 1: happened to Trump's rally. It's amazing. Meanwhile, he's talking about
Speaker 1: how the garbage vest makes him look thinner. It's people,
Speaker 1: even if they don't hear your words, they pick up
Speaker 1: on your energy.
Speaker 9: And as president of the United States, I will be
Speaker 9: a president for all Americans.
Speaker 3: Whether you vote from me or not.
Speaker 9: That is my responsibility, and that's the kind of work
Speaker 9: that I've done my entire career, and I take it
Speaker 9: very seriously.
Speaker 1: You spoke the comments and either.
Speaker 4: That did call me last night, but this thing come up?
Speaker 10: Are you concerned about what I practice may have on
Speaker 10: voters on the divisiveness of the election, and whether or
Speaker 10: not it's gonna dissuade some people from supporting.
Speaker 2: You because of your afiliation with president of this administration.
Speaker 9: I've been very clear with the American public. I respect
Speaker 9: the challenge is that people face. I respect the fact
Speaker 9: that we all have so much more in common than
Speaker 9: what separates us kind of a most past, that they
Speaker 9: get that and approaches their role of leadership that way.
Speaker 9: I've been very clear from my earliest years as a prosecutor.
Speaker 9: I never asked anyone I be a Democrat or Republican.
Speaker 3: The only thing I have hoped with are you okay,
Speaker 3: it's a soul stupid?
Speaker 1: And then you send a woman to jail because her
Speaker 1: daughter was in the hospital for sixty days, So yeah,
Speaker 1: you were you were busy. So one more timea is
Speaker 1: a soul stupid? How she gotta be sitting in a
Speaker 1: room going his guys said Puerto Rico island of garbage?
Speaker 1: How am I having this conversation right now? It's got
Speaker 1: to just boggle her mind. Well, she could wrap her
Speaker 1: head around it, but what a mess. And then, uh,
Speaker 1: what do you gotta do while you got you need
Speaker 1: the heavy lift because obviously Kamala and Joey digging their
Speaker 1: way out of this. So uh, you know, let's let's
Speaker 1: get our media buddies.
Speaker 10: We're trying to pay this to be the next basket
Speaker 10: of deplorables.
Speaker 4: Well, of course, and Donald Trum says shocking things every
Speaker 4: day in Fox News and and all of his apologies
Speaker 4: of the Republican Party immediately go to it and and
Speaker 4: brush it off, explained it away, to just completely ignore it.
Speaker 4: Here they're trying to make a firestorm out of something
Speaker 4: that again, if you look at it, you look at
Speaker 4: what he said immediately afterward, Donald Trump didn't say he
Speaker 4: immediately afterwards said.
Speaker 1: No, that's not what I meant.
Speaker 4: I was talking about the comedian and people that supported
Speaker 4: that kind of talk. And you know, willly Joe Biden
Speaker 4: obviously doesn't believe that we had that.
Speaker 1: I figure what state it was in, but it.
Speaker 4: Was during a hurricane after a hurricane, I believe, and
Speaker 4: Joe Biden went in and he went and talked to
Speaker 4: the crowd, went over, talked to a guy who was
Speaker 4: a big Trump supporter, joked with him, put the hat
Speaker 4: on him, and again trying to bring people together.
Speaker 1: And then do you remember what he did the moment
Speaker 1: they stuck a mic in his face when he was
Speaker 1: back at the White House. Remember what he said? He said, No,
Speaker 1: everybody's good, everybody's fine. Yeah, North Carolina, the North Carolina remembers.
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, well are you clarified it? Trump's
Speaker 1: clarified stuff doesn't do any good. So anyway, man, what
Speaker 1: a switcher through? All right, The congressman joins us. Next,
Speaker 1: hang on, I'm coming up on the show, our nerd correspondent.
Speaker 1: He's back from his James Bond esque world tour. We'll
Speaker 1: chat with him at eight oh five. And we got
Speaker 1: plenty of nerdy stuff to get into, as we do.
Speaker 1: But before we get into that, let's get into some
Speaker 1: more serious stuff. Although tongue in cheek, Congressman Richard Hudson
Speaker 1: joins us, this morning, let me let me guess you're
Speaker 1: dressed as a guy who empties septic systems. And or
Speaker 1: like when you watched the trash truck stuff yesterday, Congressman,
Speaker 1: how inspired were you guys in Congress, because, let's face it,
Speaker 1: some of your colleagues love little stunts. Trump is the
Speaker 1: king of this stuff.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: What a what a what a positive day for his
Speaker 1: campaign yesterday?
Speaker 11: Well, Nonald Trump is on fire. It's incredible.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 11: I was with him earlier yesterday in Rocky Mount and
Speaker 11: I have never seen a crowd more fired up, more
Speaker 11: more diverse, more more hopeful about America. And it was
Speaker 11: just an incredible experience. And and for a boy who
Speaker 11: grew up in Ronal Graft, it's just you know, forty
Speaker 11: five minutes north of there. Uh, you know, in a
Speaker 11: middle class family, was a public school teacher mom and
Speaker 11: a dad had started his own business. To be standing
Speaker 11: there all these years later in the leadership of the
Speaker 11: United States Congress, I told the crowd, only in America, Well, don't.
Speaker 1: Be models, don't be modest. I mean, he grew up
Speaker 1: next to that theater, so.
Speaker 11: That really well, you know, we didn't have the theater
Speaker 11: back then.
Speaker 1: I mean, oh yeah, the dream and on the country later.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Let me put your
Speaker 1: politician hat on, and then we'll get to a couple
Speaker 1: of issues, the strategic side of it. When when when
Speaker 1: you did you catch any of the Madison Square Garden rally?
Speaker 1: Were you there? Maybe you were there. I don't know.
Speaker 11: No, I was not there, but you know I watched
Speaker 11: from the highlights later.
Speaker 1: All right, So you watched that comedian. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're familiar with that comedian. So you watched it,
Speaker 1: and it was it was clear from that moment that
Speaker 1: the Harris campaign and the media had found their October
Speaker 1: surprise and quote Trump had just given it to them,
Speaker 1: right and in forty eight hours. In forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: Kamal has given eulogy style little press gaggles with the
Speaker 1: helicopter noise in the back, talking to you know, very somber,
Speaker 1: and Trump's driving around in high visibility vest and it's
Speaker 1: like to be able to flip that was it was
Speaker 1: crazy to me, like is he just have that much
Speaker 1: of a better team around him? Or is he more disciplined?
Speaker 1: Like how is this Trump not as rough around the
Speaker 1: edges as we have seen? In your opinion, it.
Speaker 11: Starts with Donald Trump is hysterically funny. I mean, the
Speaker 11: guy could could be a professional comedian if you wanted to.
Speaker 11: He's got incredible timing and the guys real, you know,
Speaker 11: and everything about Kamala Harris is scripted and fake and
Speaker 11: and so that's why he's able to respond and capitalize on,
Speaker 11: you know, these obvious mistakes. I mean, you've got a
Speaker 11: vice presidential candidate who's supposedly mister gun guy, who doesn't
Speaker 11: have a load of shotgun and all of a sudden,
Speaker 11: Kamala Harris is a lifelong big government left. This liberal
Speaker 11: is you know, some kind of moderate who wants to
Speaker 11: secure the border and and bring you know, more fracking.
Speaker 11: I mean, it's not authentic. The American people don't don't
Speaker 11: buy it. But Donald Trump's who he is and and
Speaker 11: so that's why he's able to capitalize on these kind
Speaker 11: of moments.
Speaker 1: And he's not pretending to be a fry cooker garbage man.
Speaker 1: He's he's a billionaire pretending to be a you're in
Speaker 1: on the joke, and it's like it's a it's a
Speaker 1: weird difference that that people don't pick up on it,
Speaker 1: but it pays dividends, Like you your entire career congressman
Speaker 1: considering Faydeville's in your like you had to resist the
Speaker 1: Michael Dukakis moment your entire career, haven't you. But you
Speaker 1: don't want to be that guy?
Speaker 11: Well, it's true. You know, I never had the honor
Speaker 11: of serving in the military. I actually tried to join
Speaker 11: the military when I was in college when the Gulf
Speaker 11: War broke out, and they said, no, thanks. I had
Speaker 11: a B C average and they said, you know, you'll
Speaker 11: never be officer materials and no, thank you, but we'll
Speaker 11: get perfect for Congress but the military.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 11: But but I represent the largest army base in the world,
Speaker 11: the greatest patriots who've ever lived. I'm their voice, and
Speaker 11: so I don't pretend that I'm one of them. But
Speaker 11: I am honored that now is my chance to serve.
Speaker 11: I get to be their voice. I get to make
Speaker 11: sure they get the things they need. And it's a
Speaker 11: huge honor for me to be able to do this.
Speaker 11: But I don't pretend I'm something I'm not.
Speaker 1: What was Walls like serving because you know, I broadcasted
Speaker 1: Minnesota before I came to North Carolina twelve thirteen years ago,
Speaker 1: and I remember Walls.
Speaker 2: I met.
Speaker 1: Walls was the first congratulate the Congress. The first congressional
Speaker 1: race I recovered because I was covering gilgutenex race in
Speaker 1: the first district down there, who had served a long
Speaker 1: time and he got flipped by walls in a red district,
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking this guy was fake at that moment.
Speaker 1: And then all the scandals that people just heard were
Speaker 1: scandals that were breaking in Minnesota at the time, and
Speaker 1: it never really permeated. I'm just curious. I didn't have
Speaker 1: a lot of one on one time with this dude.
Speaker 1: Did you work with him when he was in Congress?
Speaker 1: Did you know him?
Speaker 11: I knew him, and he's an affable guy. I mean,
Speaker 11: he's likable, but he's goofy and no one took him seriously.
Speaker 11: I mean he was not so whey you think of
Speaker 11: that you know, was consequential or you know, was always
Speaker 11: coming to you with ideas of things we ought to
Speaker 11: work on together. Uh he was, you know, he was
Speaker 11: this liberal kind of you know, not serious person.
Speaker 1: Let me uh, let me transition over to this. Even
Speaker 1: with the fun and the vests and the photos and
Speaker 1: all this, we got some real serious issues. And even
Speaker 1: though I saw them try to use it to flip
Speaker 1: around on Trump, where they're just like he wants to
Speaker 1: deport people. You Puerto Ricans should be scared. One that's
Speaker 1: a pack who doesn't understand how Puerto Ricans are able
Speaker 1: to freely move across the country. But two, I don't
Speaker 1: want to get away from the fact that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of you call it dirty work, it's very emotional
Speaker 1: work that has to get done. So we can have
Speaker 1: fun with vests and garbage trucks. But the fact remains
Speaker 1: our migrant crisis issues, illegal immigration and everything. Do you
Speaker 1: still believe that is the number one thing out there,
Speaker 1: coupled maybe with the economy, and do you think what
Speaker 1: is your understanding having spent time with Trump that day
Speaker 1: one he is going to do. Forget what the media
Speaker 1: says he's going to do.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 11: The fact is Donald Trump is going to win this election.
Speaker 11: And the reason is because he's talking about the issues
Speaker 11: that the American people are concerned about. I mean, real
Speaker 11: people are hurting right now because the cost of things
Speaker 11: driven by inflation, which is driven by Kamala Harrison and
Speaker 11: Joe Biden's policies, and and that is the reality. Uh,
Speaker 11: the border is open. UH crime is on the rise
Speaker 11: because of it. Fenting on deaths are happening in every
Speaker 11: community in America because of it. That is the reality
Speaker 11: the American people are dealing with, and they're sick of
Speaker 11: it and they want change. And the Democrats can't talk
Speaker 11: about it because their policies caused these problems, and so
Speaker 11: all they can do to win this election is distract
Speaker 11: the American people. Why to the American people? I mean,
Speaker 11: you know, I'm running all the different campaigns for Congress
Speaker 11: around the country. Every single one of these competitive races
Speaker 11: has the exact thing cookie cookie cutter ads running saying
Speaker 11: insert name Republican congressman is going to throw you in
Speaker 11: jail if you get an abortion.
Speaker 5: I mean, and.
Speaker 1: Why are you doing that, Congressman? Are you got a
Speaker 1: paddy wagon so you can do your Trump moment? Is
Speaker 1: that happening?
Speaker 11: It's just not true, and the American people aren't buying it,
Speaker 11: and uh and and and the other reality is Donald
Speaker 11: Trump is you know, the views that that comedian said
Speaker 11: that the the event do not reflect Donald Trump's views,
Speaker 11: and the American people know it. Donald Trump is going
Speaker 11: to get a larger share of Latino voters than any
Speaker 11: Republican candidate in history, and that's why he's going to win.
Speaker 11: That's why these billy attacks don't work.
Speaker 1: Not only that he's going to he's probably going to
Speaker 1: have the majority Latino vote in some states and Nevada
Speaker 1: might be one of them, which obviously is that's bonkers man.
Speaker 1: That's just you've sat in those rooms with you know,
Speaker 1: when you're up obviously you're up for election again, but
Speaker 1: as goes the House every two years. But like when
Speaker 1: you're talking about an eighth of a percentage point here
Speaker 1: and maybe ten thousand voters there and their ability to
Speaker 1: literally flip like gubernatorial elections and then under one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand for president, it's that much movement when you're talking
Speaker 1: about in places like Nevada we saw in Florida with
Speaker 1: Latinos last time around, should be indicative of better results.
Speaker 1: Yet Trump isn't the president right now. So how nervous
Speaker 1: are you that if we see those bell weathers going
Speaker 1: to Trump again, if we see that Latinovo flipping into
Speaker 1: Vada or Florida, that people are not people are going
Speaker 1: to be rightfully questioning and some are going to step
Speaker 1: over a line. It's just the reality of having three
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million people how nervous are you? And
Speaker 1: then the flip side, if Trump wins, do you think
Speaker 1: we're going to see some US cities on fire? What
Speaker 1: is your nervous level, what is your hopefulness?
Speaker 11: Well, you know, I'm nervous about what the Democrats will
Speaker 11: do when Donald Trump wins, because we saw what they
Speaker 11: did in the summer when they were burning cities across America.
Speaker 11: I worry about that. But you know, I think you're
Speaker 11: making a good point about Hispanic voters. I mean, let
Speaker 11: me tell you. We have a district down in the
Speaker 11: Rio Grand Valley of Texas where our candidate Myra Flores
Speaker 11: won a special election and then lost in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 11: This is a district where Hillary Clinton won by thirty
Speaker 11: percentage points, but then Joe Biden only won it by
Speaker 11: fifteen percentage points. And now the poland shows Donald Trump
Speaker 11: could win this district, this majority Hispanic, longtime Democrat district
Speaker 11: in Texas, and Myra Flora is in a tie with
Speaker 11: the Democratic tumbment. And so it's incredible to see Hispanic
Speaker 11: voters embracing Donald Trump, embracing the Republican Party. And I
Speaker 11: think it's because we're talking about the issues that matter
Speaker 11: to them, we're talking about the cost of living, we're
Speaker 11: talking about securing the border, we're talking about crime. The
Speaker 11: Hispanic voters are turning into Republican voters because the Democrats
Speaker 11: are not talking about the issues they care about.
Speaker 1: They're thinking about. Granted, yeah, if you're a Hispanic voter
Speaker 1: and you're not here illegal because people fail to draw
Speaker 1: this line. The news will say they'll not delineate between
Speaker 1: legal and illegal. But if you're a Hispanic voter, chances
Speaker 1: are you have a higher propensity that you're Catholic or
Speaker 1: Christian in some way. That's just the reality of the stats.
Speaker 1: And you got eyeballs, and you're also looking around going,
Speaker 1: wait a second, I went through this whole process. We're
Speaker 1: here legally. Why are there one hundred more people competing
Speaker 1: for where my kid goes to school or where I
Speaker 1: work or any of the rest. And it's like, we
Speaker 1: got to stop. I think it's dumb. I understand for
Speaker 1: polling purposes they want to delineate demographics, but it's dumb.
Speaker 1: Your Hispanic neighbor across the street, who maybe works where
Speaker 1: you work and has the same number of kids, and
Speaker 1: they go to school at the same place. Everything that's
Speaker 1: hitting you is hitting them as well. So I don't
Speaker 1: think it's a no brainer, Congress, But I'll give you
Speaker 1: the final word.
Speaker 11: I think you're exactly right. And I think, you know,
Speaker 11: the Democrats they want to put everybody you want to
Speaker 11: in some kind of group. They want to separate us,
Speaker 11: and and they think work. You know, every Hispanic is
Speaker 11: the same as every other Hispanic. It's just not true.
Speaker 11: The Republicans, we believe in the individual u and you know,
Speaker 11: but Franklin, we've done a bad job in the past
Speaker 11: of communicating with the other groups. You know, Donald Trump
Speaker 11: will will bring together more African Americans, more Hispanic Americans.
Speaker 11: He had Arab Americans in Michigan endorse him this week.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, you know, it's incredible to see the coalition
Speaker 11: that he's putting together. And but what's exciting to me
Speaker 11: is once Donald Trump wins, what are Republican Congress and
Speaker 11: Donald Trump can do to secure the border, to bring
Speaker 11: down inflation, to turn this country around, and get us
Speaker 11: back on the path to prosperity. It's exciting.
Speaker 1: It was just worth it watching MSNBC after the endorsement
Speaker 1: up in Michigan, watching them just lose their mind. All right, Congressman,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. We're out of time, but let's I know,
Speaker 1: let's talk after the election and if things start catching
Speaker 1: on fire craziness Ensue's okay, Yeah, I'd love to talk.
Speaker 11: Look four days, seventeen hours and what fourteen minutes until
Speaker 11: the election. Get out there and vote.
Speaker 1: Look at that Congressman Richard Hudson doing his imitation of
Speaker 1: the show. Rent appreciate it, Thank you, sir. I have
Speaker 1: a good one, all right, raced agic he's here to
Speaker 1: do his impression of Oh Jeff Marr. That's right, Ray
Speaker 1: doesn't work ever, Jeff Maher here is raised above all
Speaker 1: of us. Yeah, what a nice I was just gonna
Speaker 1: take three days off. Good for him, all right, Jeff,
Speaker 1: what's your turning the barrel? Although he didn't leave you
Speaker 1: off too badly?
Speaker 10: No, no, nice and warm for Halloween. The record high
Speaker 10: for today's eighty five. We'll get awfully close to that mark,
Speaker 10: topping out in your eighty three with sunshine and wins
Speaker 10: out of the southwest, and for the trigger treads heading
Speaker 10: out tonight, dry conditions and light winds if clouds are
Speaker 10: moving with an overnight load near sixty still warm, tomorrow,
Speaker 10: clouds will spread in with a high eighty. There will
Speaker 10: be a slight chance for a shower tomorrow night with
Speaker 10: a front moving through as the low drops a sixty
Speaker 10: one color behind the front with clouds Saturday and behind
Speaker 10: your seventy and the clearing takes place Sunday with hind
Speaker 10: your seventy one. Temperatures warm back up mid seventies Monday,
Speaker 10: and around eighty for a high by next Tuesday.
Speaker 1: All right, look at that. So whatever you do, if
Speaker 1: you're going to the bars Halloween parties downtown, make sure
Speaker 1: very light costumes. Ladies don't want to Overdress's gonna be
Speaker 1: very warm. So all right, thank you Jeff for me
Speaker 1: to sleazily hauld that. In coming up, we'll tell you
Speaker 1: the story of Peanut. It's not a good story, but
Speaker 1: it is a bureaucracy run a muck story. And we'll
Speaker 1: get into our little nerd correspondent conversation. Steven Ken will
Speaker 1: join us. That's eighth, five lots to get to case
Speaker 1: O Day radio program. All right, thank you to the
Speaker 1: Congressman for joining us for a few minutes. I didn't
Speaker 1: get to get into some of the hurricanes stuff, even
Speaker 1: though it's not really his district, but we will be.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 1: We got to get him on more often because he
Speaker 1: doesn't get all stuffy when I make dumb jokes, so
Speaker 1: it is very self serving, but we'll work on that.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into a conversation with Steven Kent our
Speaker 1: dird corresponded, and video games obviously will be a part
Speaker 1: of it. Ross was just telling me about an exciting
Speaker 1: new feature and we'll Oh god, we're gonna play the
Speaker 1: okay perfect. The game in this case is called Dragon
Speaker 1: Age the Veil Guard. Don't I don't know anything really
Speaker 1: about this game, but now I know from seeing this
Speaker 1: I probably don't want to play it. Is this where
Speaker 1: we are now? You couldn't get enough woke scolding in
Speaker 1: and movies and music and everything else, So now we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into woke scolding in the video games, even
Speaker 1: when it makes no sense. Also, our dragon's non binary.
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer, but maybe Stephen can fill
Speaker 1: us in on that, so we'll chat with him. We
Speaker 1: got to talk about the Madden debacle and if you
Speaker 1: saw a Nazi in a video game, and in the
Speaker 1: video game your job was to kill the Nazis, whether
Speaker 1: it's with guns or whips? Do you want to go
Speaker 1: old school? Would you assume that the manufacturers of the game.
Speaker 1: Would you assume the manufacturers of the game or glorifying
Speaker 1: Nazi ideology? No, you'd have to be stupid, right, Well,
Speaker 1: guess what we have. We've reached that level of stupid.
Speaker 1: So we'll chat with Stephen about all of that, and
Speaker 1: also we'll figure out who he was. I'm assuming when
Speaker 1: he's all this traveling, he's doing this because he's doing
Speaker 1: wet work across the world, and it is Thursday. We
Speaker 1: get to do well, we didn't get to do this
Speaker 1: last week because he was off doing wet work in
Speaker 1: Europe or something. Steven Kent are NERD corresponding entertainment guy.
Speaker 1: How you doing, sir? I'm assuming that I'm doing too right?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's a very very bond esque No, seriously,
Speaker 1: where'd you go? You went to, like Spain or something?
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: They deployed me around the world to fight for consumer issues,
Speaker 5: and most recently was Spain. You know, fine country, good people.
Speaker 5: Most I assume.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I thought there was a butt. I didn't
Speaker 1: know if you had because I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this in part where'd you go? You went to Madrid? Though, right?
Speaker 5: I did?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So have you get over to Have
Speaker 1: you ever been to Barcelona or any of the couple
Speaker 1: of the other little areas.
Speaker 5: On that now, But I think I would prefer to
Speaker 5: go to Barcelona next time. Madrid was unimpressive and the
Speaker 5: police didn't like me very much for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you have that look about you, like you
Speaker 1: know you're up to see. Here's the thing about Spain.
Speaker 1: I think Spain is gorgeous, but Spain has like, especially
Speaker 1: when you get over to a lot of the big
Speaker 1: tourist areas are in around Barcelona, like they have a
Speaker 1: real problem with tourists. And I don't want to get
Speaker 1: you in trouble over there, but it's it's the dumbest
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. I heard somebody point out to
Speaker 1: Europe that at the end of the day, they're Epcot now,
Speaker 1: but they're the big Epcot and they need to just
Speaker 1: fall in line. I don't know if I'll go quite
Speaker 1: that aggressive, but they have. Like they had a woman
Speaker 1: there who was running around spritzing. She was organizing people
Speaker 1: online to use spray bottles to spritz tourists like you
Speaker 1: do your cat when you want to leave something alone.
Speaker 5: And then her daughter, yeah, unhinged activity.
Speaker 1: And she's a big business person and her daughter was
Speaker 1: one of the two they got the book thrown at
Speaker 1: him for their louing themselves to shut down the road's
Speaker 1: climate protests, and she flipped out. So look at that
Speaker 1: all this, so you know, they got a kind of
Speaker 1: a stick in their button some instances anyway, But I
Speaker 1: want to let's stick a little closer to home. Ross
Speaker 1: was explaining this to me because I am not a
Speaker 1: Dragon Age player. I don't know if you are, so
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know the totality of everything that
Speaker 1: brought us here. But obviously a bunch of people are
Speaker 1: excited with the new dragon Age with the Veil Shield
Speaker 1: or whatever it's called game, which breaking into the controversy.
Speaker 1: Tell me, what's your are, how big is this game?
Speaker 1: And what's the history here?
Speaker 5: Well, dragon Age Vail Guard. I mean, Ross can probably
Speaker 5: tell you a lot more about it than me. But
Speaker 5: you know, we're talking about a game with an eighteen
Speaker 5: percent approval rating on its Google stored downloads. It's by BioWare,
Speaker 5: and you know, the Dragon Age franchise is pretty well
Speaker 5: known and well established with gamers, but like most games
Speaker 5: in this genre, it's it's sort of in decline. But again,
Speaker 5: we're talking about a game that has like Hans Zemma
Speaker 5: on the soundtrack, So okay, it's not like it's not
Speaker 5: like they put it's not like they put no money into.
Speaker 1: This, all right. So with that, well, that's what's making
Speaker 1: all of these failures that much more spectacular. Whether it
Speaker 1: is I kind of forget the name of the game
Speaker 1: over there in Japan, the crap of the bed, and
Speaker 1: then of course the whole Ninja Assassin controversy with Assassin's creed,
Speaker 1: but like, the bigger, the better. I saw their interviewing
Speaker 1: the dude who was the director for Dustborn, and he
Speaker 1: said that it was a rousing success. So they're not
Speaker 1: even dealing in reality.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 1: So what did Dragon Age do that got them an
Speaker 1: eighteen percent rating by fans? Well?
Speaker 5: Oh, man, we where do we begin?
Speaker 1: So we're gonna play the audio. I'm gonna play the
Speaker 1: audio and then please perfect all right, here we go.
Speaker 2: The laws of Fortune have Tashi's back.
Speaker 12: Oh Tash isn't the first non binary member of the Lord.
Speaker 10: Really?
Speaker 12: It was a little before your time, but Horlick's was
Speaker 12: one of ours. Humh, Bustard looked better than I did,
Speaker 12: and address all pants and out of them too.
Speaker 1: This sounds like a parody. I'm gonna keep playing. This
Speaker 1: sounds like a parody. I assure you. It's not any
Speaker 1: reason you.
Speaker 3: Can't just apologize.
Speaker 12: Sometimes people say ooh sorry and hope that fixes it,
Speaker 12: but they just want to get the whole thing over with.
Speaker 3: Trust me, I know.
Speaker 12: But pulling a barth you sweat a little makes you
Speaker 12: think about as a little more shows the other person.
Speaker 3: You mean it, or what if they mean it when
Speaker 3: they say they're sorry, though, And that's the other.
Speaker 12: Reason some people mess up and get all dramatic. They
Speaker 12: make it about them. Oh you know, I didn't mean it, right,
Speaker 12: I never do that on purpose. They feel so bad
Speaker 12: about it that it's on everyone else to smooth it
Speaker 12: over and make them feel better.
Speaker 1: All right, So what is the high crime that they're
Speaker 1: discussing there in this tale of Dragons, lords and elves?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Misgendering?
Speaker 5: Somebody, yes, and a barb is doing push ups, So
Speaker 5: you know you miss gender? You miss gender? Someone an
Speaker 5: elf or a pirate or something like that, and uh,
Speaker 5: instead of apologizing, you do push ups in order to
Speaker 5: demonstrate demonstrate your your sorrow over what you have done.
Speaker 1: That's weird because I remember in China they used to
Speaker 1: have a thing like this where if you were sorry
Speaker 1: that you didn't fall in line with the Communist party,
Speaker 1: you could do work. Well, we're in a giant dunce
Speaker 1: at while people screamed at you. And then if it
Speaker 1: didn't go, well, they just killed you. Anyway, was it
Speaker 1: like me?
Speaker 5: Why do that when we have when we have nine
Speaker 5: tail whips, you can just whip yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's that's that is fair? How how how much?
Speaker 9: How?
Speaker 1: How sorry do you want to appear to be in
Speaker 1: front of your your lord's and betters. Here's the crazy
Speaker 1: about cutscene skipper? Are you a cut scene skipper?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, I am too. So I don't know, maybe I've
Speaker 1: missed a lot of this, but please help me out.
Speaker 1: Is this the loan of reason people are upset? Or
Speaker 1: is there other stuff going on? I don't really know.
Speaker 5: I mean this stuff sort of rises to the surface
Speaker 5: in the social media era, where you've got people kind
Speaker 5: of clipping. Usually the thing about a game that is
Speaker 5: the most outrageous. But here's my hint. Okay, here's my hint.
Speaker 5: There's probably more going on here this dialogue. If you
Speaker 5: go find this scene, you can find it on Twitter.
Speaker 5: Case and the team just posted it there on their
Speaker 5: Twitter account, and the dialogue is almost word for word
Speaker 5: what my human resources department makes us watch every two
Speaker 5: years to get certified for harassment training. I mean, this
Speaker 5: video is taking the script of very boiler plate c
Speaker 5: suite HR videos.
Speaker 11: You know, the old cringey stuff.
Speaker 5: You had to watch before your yeah, with bad actors
Speaker 5: and all that stuff about how to deal with pronouns workplace,
Speaker 5: how to do apologies. So if this scene is written
Speaker 5: by the HR department, how many other scenes are written
Speaker 5: by the HR department instead of creative people.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But if you ever micro aggressed a dragon,
Speaker 1: I would I would not do that. Probably don't want
Speaker 1: to micro aggress a dragon.
Speaker 3: In Casey, you mentioned about skipping cut scenes. You can't
Speaker 3: do this because it's an RPG.
Speaker 6: This is in it.
Speaker 3: You have Oh my gosh, you have tree branch conversations
Speaker 3: that you have to choose. Oh, this is part of
Speaker 3: like an integral part of the game.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so much worse. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: cut scene. Oh my gosh. No, and I hate the conversation.
Speaker 1: Even though I kind of like those kinds of games,
Speaker 1: sometimes some of those cut scenes get are just slogs,
Speaker 1: are not structured, right, So in the middle, this little
Speaker 1: easter egg gets tossed in my face. No, thank you?
Speaker 5: No, yeah, I mean this is this is a scene
Speaker 5: you can't you can't opt out of. This is integral
Speaker 5: to your decision making.
Speaker 1: If you have a hammer, walk you through it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I asked this question a thousand times. It's like,
Speaker 1: let me give you another little nuanced thing. So you
Speaker 1: saw the India What's up with the Indiana Jones new game?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: So if you don't know, it's called what the Great Circle?
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones in the Great Circle, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: I saw somebody already has a conspiracy video out about
Speaker 1: how that's illumininati Illuminati thing, so you know that's fun.
Speaker 1: But anyway, in the game, Indiana Jones is facing, among others,
Speaker 1: his usual enemy Steven. What is Indiana Jones is or
Speaker 1: who is Indiana Jones's typical enemy? If you took the.
Speaker 5: Time, Oh, I know this one, I know this one
Speaker 5: not I hate these na.
Speaker 1: Oh you hate those guys. But you know, maybe that's
Speaker 1: not clear, So how are they going to make it clear?
Speaker 1: Developers of Indiana Jones in the Great Circle have included
Speaker 1: a disclaimer in case you were to get confused. Are
Speaker 1: you ready for this? So the disclaimer basically, uh, here
Speaker 1: we go. It says that Nazis quote should not or
Speaker 1: the occlusion of Nazis in the game should not be
Speaker 1: in any way construed to condone, glorify, or endorse their ideology.
Speaker 1: Where was this during Wolfenstein?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm you read my mind. The Wolfenstein controversy.
Speaker 1: About Qualtica used.
Speaker 5: M yeah, I mean this. This basically became a problem
Speaker 5: with World War two shooter games, particularly multiplayer games, where
Speaker 5: a lot of game developers were noticing that players preferred
Speaker 5: to play on the axis side in you know, games
Speaker 5: like Call of Duty or Medal of Honor, preferred to
Speaker 5: play as Nazi snipers or German officers. And the reason
Speaker 5: is is really not that coded. It's not because America
Speaker 5: is still old with Nazi sympathizers. It's because their uniforms
Speaker 5: are pretty sharp.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 1: And also the thing, if if I'm playing a game
Speaker 1: out yeah, if I'm playing a game out and I
Speaker 1: want to be able to reply, what replay value your game,
Speaker 1: allowing me to approach it with different missions or from
Speaker 1: a different side. They take Normandy for example, Now we
Speaker 1: can we can talk about the appropriateness of putting any
Speaker 1: of this out. They obviously did have to deal with that,
Speaker 1: but just from a pure pure game mechanics standpoint, let's
Speaker 1: take Normandy. Right, there is a there is a there
Speaker 1: is a whole aspect to being the guys in the
Speaker 1: boats to the guys in the pill boxes. Right if
Speaker 1: you remove every you know, all the historical there and
Speaker 1: so like, But it doesn't mean they want to start
Speaker 1: a new Reich and uh and and yet we have
Speaker 1: to disclaim that that's the case.
Speaker 5: So yeah, you know, I've played a couple of World
Speaker 5: War Two games where you know, German officers and in
Speaker 5: German military bases. Uh, the red flag is blurred in
Speaker 5: the middle, or the swastika is a black triangle, or
Speaker 5: they substitute the iron the German iron cross. That's usually
Speaker 5: the most normal one that they do, because that you know,
Speaker 5: has roots back to World War One. But they pretty
Speaker 5: much just fudge history to get rid of the swastaka,
Speaker 5: and I believe in in Germany, I believe it is illegal.
Speaker 5: I think it is against the law to make games
Speaker 5: uh and to display the swastika. So like the US
Speaker 5: is an outlier in that sense. But you know, obviously
Speaker 5: we know why we feel differently about it here versus there.
Speaker 3: The reasoning, the reasoning too is much simpler. It does
Speaker 3: doesn't have to go as deep as that, because I
Speaker 3: played like Call of Duty World at War back in
Speaker 3: the day, and the simple answer is the weapons were better.
Speaker 3: The MP forty in the game was better than the Thompson.
Speaker 1: It was well, that was the tale of That was
Speaker 1: the tale of World War Two in a lot of instances,
Speaker 1: whether it was the zo row on the Japanese side,
Speaker 1: and what did we do? We went all right, and
Speaker 1: we innovated and then we kicked their ass. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: k the.
Speaker 5: KA R nine D eight German German rifles better than
Speaker 5: the M one. The M one could shoot quicker, but
Speaker 5: it was very an actorate.
Speaker 1: But how how far does this have to go? Like
Speaker 1: should does Ralph Findes need to hold a pressor today
Speaker 1: to apologize for that time he dressed up as among golf?
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't apologize.
Speaker 1: You do a bar Oh excuse me, excuse me? Does
Speaker 1: he have to do a barb?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: I mean, where where are we going with this? Nobody
Speaker 1: thought that Ralph Fines is a big fan of guys
Speaker 1: who run Nazi death camps. But he nailed it. But
Speaker 1: what a what a in Chindler's list? What a character
Speaker 1: man like? I was terrified And I don't know, but
Speaker 1: he's not glorified. He's not glorifying the dude. And and
Speaker 1: you're you're treating us like children? But you know what,
Speaker 1: what would you expect you?
Speaker 11: Here?
Speaker 1: Here's another example of this, uh the And I want
Speaker 1: you to approach this from a gamer perspective. You're seeing
Speaker 1: this and you tell me if it moves the needle?
Speaker 1: Did you see the video game insanity by the Harris
Speaker 1: campaign over the last week, there's two distinct incidents. One
Speaker 1: now mad Madden, right Madden? You saw the stunt with
Speaker 1: balls and AOC playing Madden?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 6: Nope?
Speaker 1: Are you home?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm so excited I get to tell you this. So
Speaker 1: as part of a stunt, Tim Walls, the VP nominee
Speaker 1: obviously with Harris and aoc Acasio Cortes. The congresswoman decided
Speaker 1: on Sunday, in the middle of NFL football, they were
Speaker 1: going to have a special event where they streamed themselves
Speaker 1: playing Madden because they need to get more male voters,
Speaker 1: and obviously the best way to reach out to younger
Speaker 1: male voters is to do an event in the middle
Speaker 1: of NFL Sunday football. Right, But it's probably a good
Speaker 1: thing because they decided to play Madden and nobody scored.
Speaker 1: Nobody could figure out how to score. They was so bad.
Speaker 5: Man, So like, this is this is miraculous. What is
Speaker 5: that I'm watching? I'm watching the Walls video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the cove ever he's a former coach,
Speaker 1: posts something along the lines of AOC puts a scheme.
Speaker 1: She's on offense. I just want to be clear. She
Speaker 1: schemes a mean pick six. Nobody schemes a pick six
Speaker 1: on offense. Well, the Jets do. But other than that,
Speaker 1: that's when.
Speaker 5: You betray your team or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's everything's so dumb. And then not to
Speaker 1: be out dumbed, Kamala Harris decided that she was going
Speaker 1: to do a Fortnite event. I'm not sure if you
Speaker 1: saw this. Fortnite the the the Battle Royale Shooter your
Speaker 1: kid loves. In fact, so many kids love it. That
Speaker 1: kid in Greensboro during the tornado when his neighbor's house
Speaker 1: went up, didn't stop playing because there was only three
Speaker 1: people left. I remember running his audio. It was amazing.
Speaker 1: So she goes in do that and except they have
Speaker 1: their own new Fortnite map called Freedom Town, USA. And
Speaker 1: guns are banned in Freedomtown, USA map in Fortnite, the
Speaker 1: guns you can't use guns?
Speaker 5: Do they eat the cats and eat the dogs there too?
Speaker 1: Howdo you do guns in Fortnite? I'm not a big
Speaker 1: Fortnite guy, but explain it to me, Like I'm two,
Speaker 1: I have thirty seconds. What the hell is going on?
Speaker 11: Man?
Speaker 5: Meghan the Stallion is probably the mayor of this town.
Speaker 5: What a dystopia.
Speaker 1: By the way, they only got four hundred, four hundred
Speaker 1: people playing during the event, So she's there. Obviously not
Speaker 1: nobody's shooting anybody.
Speaker 5: She's cooked, Casey, she's cooked, and everyone knows it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry we're bouncing around today. There's just so much
Speaker 1: weird stuff rather than one big thing. But I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be here next week? After the with
Speaker 1: the country gets set on fire from election results.
Speaker 5: Or I will be in the bunker after having boarded
Speaker 5: up all my windows.
Speaker 1: And uh and good luck to you. By the way.
Speaker 1: We'll explain that next week, but for now we've got
Speaker 1: a roll. Stephen Kent, appreciate it, and we'll be back there. You. Uh.
Speaker 1: This poor old man finds himself being accosted by a
Speaker 1: biker gang and it doesn't go well for the bike
Speaker 1: for the bikers. Yeah, and by biker gang, I don't
Speaker 1: mean some one percent. I mean the dudes pimping FedEx
Speaker 1: in their bicycling outfits. Here's the thing. I know that
Speaker 1: people get into the whole car versus bicycle thing. I
Speaker 1: really don't care. I just don't under why is it
Speaker 1: that everyone dresses like they're in the Tour de France.
Speaker 1: I get the logoing stuff, but like that always kind
Speaker 1: of was like and it just sounds like it has
Speaker 1: to be expensive, is the thing. But hey, it's an
Speaker 1: expensive sport and you want to spend your money, So
Speaker 1: be it that being said, this these this group of bikers,
Speaker 1: there's three of them are and I don't know what
Speaker 1: prompted the disagreement, but they have some how found themselves
Speaker 1: face to face with slightly younger Charlie well everything slightly younger,
Speaker 1: but younger Charlie Daniels. And like the one dude, the
Speaker 1: one bicyclist who's kind of I don't know, he kind
Speaker 1: of seems to be the dude in charge because he's
Speaker 1: telling the other ones what to do. His buddy gets
Speaker 1: pushed because his buddy gets right in Charlie Daniel's face.
Speaker 1: It's not actually Charlie Daniels, but you'll see what I
Speaker 1: mean when you see the video. And Charlie Daniels g
Speaker 1: was him a little push like, boy, don't mess with me.
Speaker 1: You don't want none of this. And it was that
Speaker 1: moment where the biker or the bicyclist remembered third through
Speaker 1: fifth grade when his mom made him go to karate
Speaker 1: or something and he thought he could execute an MMA
Speaker 1: kick on the dude.
Speaker 3: One.
Speaker 1: No, you can't too. Dude didn't move, Charlie Daniels didn't move,
Speaker 1: and this guy missed. And then I noticed Charlie Daniels
Speaker 1: didn't flinch either. We even though a foot did come
Speaker 1: about six inches from his face, but the velocity was lacking.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened after that. But if I
Speaker 1: got a pick, who's gonna win that, My money's on
Speaker 1: Charlie Daniels Ross Team Charlie Daniels on this one, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming I.
Speaker 3: Mean yeah, because I mean, first off, he beat the devil,
Speaker 3: right he did.
Speaker 1: He did do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but famously the way he doesn't flinch. I just
Speaker 3: imagine he's going to go back to his house and
Speaker 3: dig some tunnels and just sit in his porch and wait.
Speaker 1: First, I think he's gonna sit in his living room
Speaker 1: in view of his shadow box from his Vietnam service
Speaker 1: of nine tours, right, and then go dig the tunnels.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, that boy he used to be best with.
Speaker 1: These three don't stand a chance, and feasibly they should
Speaker 1: stand a better chance because they're wearing protection. They were
Speaker 1: in head protection and stuff. It's so it's the most
Speaker 1: beta video of the day and we have it there
Speaker 1: for you at Casey on the radio. You can go
Speaker 1: check that out. All right. So, as you know, like
Speaker 1: a lot of places, although they do their own unique things,
Speaker 1: the state of New York is dealing with some stuff.
Speaker 1: They got a shrinking population folks exiting a lot of
Speaker 1: those folks, high dollar folks, like I don't know. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's a good example, and that's a big, little, big
Speaker 1: chunk there out of your tax revenues, and it is impactful.
Speaker 1: You have the migrant insanity, you have Midtown Manhattan which
Speaker 1: has been turned into Little Venezuela. And it's fine if
Speaker 1: you want to help, but people who are in this
Speaker 1: country who need help are looking at it going what
Speaker 1: is this. People in North Carolina I just watched their
Speaker 1: house float away are looking at this going, what the
Speaker 1: hell's going on? What do I get seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty dollars and they get a midtown Manhattan apartment? What
Speaker 1: are we doing here? But you'll be happy to know
Speaker 1: they've solved all those problems and now New York is
Speaker 1: able to turn the attention of state bureaucrats toward it's
Speaker 1: important stuff like the seizing and execution of Peanut. Do
Speaker 1: you guys know who Peanut the squirrel is? I have
Speaker 1: no idea, But also what I don't really follow a
Speaker 1: lot of meme animals. I think we talked about this yesterday,
Speaker 1: Like I do who Grumpy Cat was. Other than that,
Speaker 1: I don't know. So Peanut is a squirrel that lives
Speaker 1: with this dude who actually is from Connecticut initially. All right,
Speaker 1: guy's name is Mark Longo. Seven years ago, long ago,
Speaker 1: when he was living in Connecticut, he said, in front
Speaker 1: of his house, he walked out and he saw a
Speaker 1: squirrel that had been hit by a car. And then
Speaker 1: he sees something moving and he realizes, oh man, there's
Speaker 1: a baby squirrel over there too, and that's probably its mom.
Speaker 1: So he scoops up the baby squirrel they call him Kits,
Speaker 1: and brings him inside. He had been out there a
Speaker 1: little while, had to kind of nurse him back to health,
Speaker 1: and once he got to full size, pinut didn't want
Speaker 1: to go anywhere, and so he continued to live with
Speaker 1: this guy, this Mark guy, for seven years, which I
Speaker 1: don't know how long a squirrel lives. That's probably pretty
Speaker 1: good for a squirrel. And Longo started to take pictures
Speaker 1: of Peanut just doing you know, squirrel stuff around the house.
Speaker 1: Very affectionate. Loves frozen waffles also, and he grew a
Speaker 1: social media following to the point where the squirrel I
Speaker 1: think has two million followers, and the revenue started to
Speaker 1: flow in, and rather than just buying himself a new
Speaker 1: lambou and doing all that stuff, Longo, who claims he
Speaker 1: is an animal lover, said that he was going to
Speaker 1: open an animal rescue and so he took that money
Speaker 1: that was from peanuts ad revenue and he moved to Elmira,
Speaker 1: New York. Where's Elmira? Is that down by like rybym
Speaker 1: and stuff?
Speaker 7: Is?
Speaker 1: Why do I think that is? It's not Elmira's not
Speaker 1: in New York City proper though, right, it's outstate New York.
Speaker 1: I think, okay, all right, I just want to be
Speaker 1: clear because he's not in the middle of Manhattan. He's
Speaker 1: out where I don't say it's normal, but it's normalish, Okay.
Speaker 1: So he's got the channel. They started rescuing animals. He's
Speaker 1: got this piece of property. They invested a bunch of money,
Speaker 1: he did fundraisers, did donations, started a five O one
Speaker 1: C three peanuts freedom farm and everything was going along
Speaker 1: and till the weekend, so he gets a knock on
Speaker 1: his door and its officials from the state of New
Speaker 1: York as well as the county in which this is,
Speaker 1: and they are there to seize his animals. His animals,
Speaker 1: by the way, include peanut and he had over that
Speaker 1: time also had a raccoon whose mom was killed, or
Speaker 1: of his mom was killed, but they couldn't find his parents.
Speaker 1: Baby raccoon that lives there. Now I understand that there's
Speaker 1: state laws as it pertains to raccoons there. But they
Speaker 1: came in and they seized both and then told long
Speaker 1: ago that the animals will have to be euthanized. So
Speaker 1: the state of New York went in to this house
Speaker 1: seized a squirrel that has two million followers that's just
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Okay, so no, no, no, that is a combination.
Speaker 1: Still still still, still still and they're just gonna take
Speaker 1: it and grease it. What is how do you bureaucracy
Speaker 1: into that? How do you how do you feel? How
Speaker 1: are you comfortable enough going in to seize a squirrel?
Speaker 1: A squirrel, by the way, you don't even have to
Speaker 1: put in a carrier because it'll run up your arm
Speaker 1: judging by these videos, and you're like, oh, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: nice squirrel. Yeah, we're gonna have to execute that squirrel
Speaker 1: in New York. With everything else you got going on,
Speaker 1: this is what you have priority to. If you never
Speaker 1: needed an indication that you're you are paying way too
Speaker 1: much in taxes that are being used for way too
Speaker 1: stupid things. Uh, it's it's gonna be the plight of
Speaker 1: peanut here. Or don't get me wrong, I got no
Speaker 1: love one way or the other for squirrels. But still,
Speaker 1: who gets who volunteers for that? Also, who's sitting there
Speaker 1: in the raw rah meeting at the state office like, well,
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. You know, hey, you know
Speaker 1: that's and and by the way, here's where it gets
Speaker 1: even worse. Apparently, over the last few months, animal rights
Speaker 1: people have been all up in this guy's business, saying
Speaker 1: you can't have these things. And it's just like, I
Speaker 1: just I just did a five O one C three,
Speaker 1: I opened a rescue thing. What's the problem? They're like,
Speaker 1: you can't do that? So he got docks And the
Speaker 1: allegation is is that some of the people threatened to
Speaker 1: do or not docs but report him. They did a
Speaker 1: mass reporting of him. And they also feel that there's
Speaker 1: that somebody who was part of coming in and raiding
Speaker 1: his house as a member of one of these groups
Speaker 1: or something. So they use the power of bureaucracy and
Speaker 1: the pitchfork mob to come in and kill the internetslebrity squirrel,
Speaker 1: cause why wouldn't you and it is those mob actions
Speaker 1: that are very effective. How many of you have a
Speaker 1: birdwatch level Twitter account? And if you don't know what
Speaker 1: that is, so Birdwatch is the group is the accounts.
Speaker 1: Our show account is one of them, My personal is not.
Speaker 1: And they're the ones that are authorized to write community notes.
Speaker 1: And I just remember when they were asking what accounts
Speaker 1: wanted it, I submitted the show account, but I submitted
Speaker 1: my personal account, but not the show. They did the
Speaker 1: one and then the proved the other was so weird.
Speaker 1: But but I wanted to be on there, and I
Speaker 1: was right to do so, because what you can't see,
Speaker 1: you only see community notes once they show up. I
Speaker 1: see them through all stages of voting, and it is
Speaker 1: abundantly clear that ninety nine percent of community notes are
Speaker 1: clearly people who want to put an opinion in it's
Speaker 1: not about facts, and they didn't want to do it
Speaker 1: in the comment and want to influence your ability to
Speaker 1: discuss it, and so they go ahead and they do this.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: They just found out that Kamala Harris's had followers, not followers,
Speaker 1: but campaign people had organized a group of individuals who
Speaker 1: were tasked every time a something that was positive for
Speaker 1: Kamala got community noted or something that was really negative
Speaker 1: for Trump, like Kamala HQ accounts. It would snap this
Speaker 1: slack channel into action, and all these people who had
Speaker 1: birdwatch accounts would go in and manipulate community notes, either
Speaker 1: to keep them off or to undermine something Trump was doing.
Speaker 1: And so they were essentially doing the mass organizing, mass reporting.
Speaker 1: I'm happy that they were caught doing it because this
Speaker 1: is a blind spot that Elon Musk, I know, he's
Speaker 1: got a lot going on, has never addressed the absolute
Speaker 1: abuse of community notes. That's why you don't see them
Speaker 1: as much as you think you should. And it's also
Speaker 1: why you see them tempting community notes on really innocuous
Speaker 1: stuff because they overwhelm the system. If you click notes
Speaker 1: that you don't show, there's usually like fifty of the
Speaker 1: damn things. If it's a big, big, big story, and
Speaker 1: they just organ they weaponize, the manipulation of information. They
Speaker 1: were willing to do that, and they seemingly don't care
Speaker 1: that you know that they were trying to weaponize and
Speaker 1: manipulate information. It's it's crazy to me now, Jeff Barr,
Speaker 1: he just gives you the straight facts. That's what they
Speaker 1: do over the weather Channel, and we appreciate that. And
Speaker 1: the facts are it's probably going to be aoka for
Speaker 1: your kids out trick or treating today.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's it'd be great for trick or treaters. Dry conditions,
Speaker 10: light winds, and certainly some above average temperatures as we
Speaker 10: head through this Halloween. The record high today's eighty five
Speaker 10: will get close to that, climbing up to eighty three
Speaker 10: during the afternoon with sunshine and wins out of the southwest.
Speaker 10: For the trick or treaters venturing out tonight, a partly
Speaker 10: cloudy sky, winds will stay light overnight, the lowell hover
Speaker 10: and you're sixty Tomorrow. Clouds will increase with the high
Speaker 10: You're eighty approaching front may result in an isolated shower
Speaker 10: tomorrow night with the low sixty one behind the front,
Speaker 10: cooler into the weekend cloud Saturday behind your seventy. Clearing
Speaker 10: takes place on Sunday, with behind the low seventies and
Speaker 10: mid seventies Monday, before you approach eighty again by next Tuesday.
