Speaker 1: Just downed upon me. Tomorrow's Friday the thirteenth, we got
Speaker 1: one of those, so, you know, for whatever that's worth.
Speaker 1: Although it's like, what possibly, what could you do to
Speaker 1: make things worse with just everything going on? When Jimmy
Speaker 1: Kimmel's producer is sitting there and openly saying that she
Speaker 1: wants to quote go visit Luigi and jail, make him
Speaker 1: cookies and quote maybe more, I don't know where we
Speaker 1: are except in probably the most dangerous and buying I'm
Speaker 1: going to bring this back to Trump. I don't if
Speaker 1: this attitude continues to permeate, not just among some idiot
Speaker 1: producer who has a lot of influence, considering she produces
Speaker 1: a national television show.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren and others who are clearly on this eat
Speaker 1: the rich kick okay, clearly, well, who's richer than Trump?
Speaker 1: In the minds of people who are not all there
Speaker 1: and think they should go out and do stuff, it's it.
Speaker 1: It's this might be one of the greatest pieces of
Speaker 1: projection I've ever heard of or watched unfold this. Words
Speaker 1: words are violence, Words are violence. Maps with districts being
Speaker 1: targeted is violence? Right, every all of these things had
Speaker 1: to be spun to fit that narrative, and then you
Speaker 1: have actual members of Congress, including senators, House members would
Speaker 1: be candidates, state candidates. I mean, the list of people
Speaker 1: that are coming out and and saying stuff that sounds
Speaker 1: slightly permissive or really permissive makes me think that if
Speaker 1: you're a ce because here's what do you think the
Speaker 1: CEOs are going to do? If you think inherently that,
Speaker 1: Like Elizabeth Warren and others have stated, Kamala Harris stated
Speaker 1: that all of these CEOs, which by the way, the
Speaker 1: majority of CEOs are of the top well essentially on
Speaker 1: the Nasdaq, the majority of them give more money to Democrats,
Speaker 1: just so we're clear here, So like more than half
Speaker 1: of these are quote unquote your people. Okay, but if
Speaker 1: you think they're all just sitting around in cigar filled
Speaker 1: rooms and at rich guy clubs, which don't be wrong,
Speaker 1: a lot of them are, but you're making nefarious something too.
Speaker 1: CEOs might like to interact and talk with other CEOs
Speaker 1: because they're kind of in the biz and they network
Speaker 1: and they do all this stuff. Okay, So with that
Speaker 1: in mind, but if you think they're all evil and
Speaker 1: don't care if you think they're inherently evil. What do
Speaker 1: you think they're going to do. Do you think that
Speaker 1: they're going to slash their business so it's essentially a
Speaker 1: nonprofit or you think they're just going to hire security,
Speaker 1: really really badass security. I had a friend in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Well I have still have a friend, but when I
Speaker 1: lived in Minnesota, a good friend of mine and a
Speaker 1: guy did some radio and TV stuff with and he's
Speaker 1: now a retirement age but I met him when he
Speaker 1: was in his fifties. I'm in my thirties. We did
Speaker 1: a lot of work together, including we hosted a syndicated
Speaker 1: hunting and fishing show. And so this guy is he's
Speaker 1: not a political guy. He's an outdoor writer. He's written
Speaker 1: for think of any outdoor magazine, he's written for it. Okay,
Speaker 1: his wife, i'd give you his name, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about his wife now, who's not a
Speaker 1: media person per se, but was one of the vice
Speaker 1: presidents at a huge one of the biggest companies in
Speaker 1: the world. You've heard of it, Okay, And part of
Speaker 1: her job because she was a vice president for labor
Speaker 1: and essentially the hr vice president. But but for her
Speaker 1: because the company is worldwide. She would have to go
Speaker 1: to a lot of places is where we do a
Speaker 1: lot of business from agricultural standpoints around the world and
Speaker 1: basically solve the needs of the company there, like she
Speaker 1: And so when she traveled, because I asked my buddy,
Speaker 1: I'm like, do you get nervous? His wife's a pistol,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, so very nice lady. But she's
Speaker 1: also you know, one hundred and fifteen pounds, five foot
Speaker 1: three or something like. And so when they would send her,
Speaker 1: because she did a lot of work in South America too,
Speaker 1: they'd send her with all the blackrock carried out blackrock,
Speaker 1: all the what do they call themselves now, the the
Speaker 1: academy folks, right, the mercenaries. They would they'd have a
Speaker 1: whole team of mercenaries with her just to go, just
Speaker 1: to go to places that you might even feel comfortable
Speaker 1: going on vacation because more so than just any inherent
Speaker 1: danger there, you know, it's the rich people kidnapped thing.
Speaker 1: Remember I told you that George Norri. When George Norri
Speaker 1: came to do a station event with us in Greensboro
Speaker 1: years ago, was also when we had that big storm
Speaker 1: where nothing was moving for days and me and George
Speaker 1: Norri are literally Initially we had this whole hotel to ourself, basically,
Speaker 1: and then when all the power outage went, like a
Speaker 1: lot of people from the Triad went to hotels and
Speaker 1: it's just me and George Norri for like three days,
Speaker 1: stuck this hotel. And so you get to talking, right,
Speaker 1: He's kind of an interesting dude, obviously, and he was
Speaker 1: telling me what happened. He just went to Mexico to
Speaker 1: essentially do what he was doing here. He's got a
Speaker 1: lot of fans like Coast to coast down to Mexico too,
Speaker 1: and so he went down to Mexico City, and they
Speaker 1: like professionally, they attempted to professionally kidnap George Norri because
Speaker 1: you know rich guy, Okay, well, you get a cera,
Speaker 1: a vice president of a major conglomerate. There's some incentive
Speaker 1: there if they knew that she was coming, and they
Speaker 1: would know because she's going down to some of these
Speaker 1: places which are rural places, and they're establishing factories and
Speaker 1: processing plants for the agriculture and some of the other stuff.
Speaker 1: And so people notice when literally hundreds of people all
Speaker 1: of a sudden have a job the next day. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's how she traveled. What do you think the
Speaker 1: CEOs are going to do? Do you think they're gonna
Speaker 1: bend to whatever will if you just shoot enough of them,
Speaker 1: or do you think they're just going to use the
Speaker 1: money that you're so mad that they have to buy Rambo?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you they're buying Rambo. And eventually you
Speaker 1: hit that tipping point where even people who were like,
Speaker 1: all right, you know what, good for him because I
Speaker 1: hated my healthcare experience, Well then you grease somebody who's
Speaker 1: not healthcare. Now you're mad at the mortgage industry. Now
Speaker 1: you're mad at the banksters. Those are a popular target.
Speaker 1: You're mad at a food CEO because you think they're
Speaker 1: price gouging because the eggs are more, because you've been
Speaker 1: told that over and over and over again that the
Speaker 1: only reason that these items which are hangible items that
Speaker 1: need to be produced, acquired, packaged, and retailed, and the
Speaker 1: supply it's not like a mountain where you found where
Speaker 1: you have a known quantity of whatever ore you're pulling out,
Speaker 1: and it's all about your production schedule. We're talking about
Speaker 1: av and flu can flip the side of the price
Speaker 1: of eggs. We're talking about government regulation which requires you
Speaker 1: to fund on site FDA employees if you want to
Speaker 1: open a slaughterhouse, thus precluding the majority of small producers
Speaker 1: from rising to that level because it's cost prohibitive. But
Speaker 1: you know, the big companies don't care. When all of
Speaker 1: that happens, and then somebody does something to one of
Speaker 1: those folks, you're going to have people tapping out of
Speaker 1: this ideology. And what's left are the purest or the lunatics.
Speaker 1: That's where we're headed. And I'm you know me, slippery
Speaker 1: slope guy. But Elizabeth, Elizabeth Warren out for what is is,
Speaker 1: she says her people. We'll call out for scalps. Right
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Here is the lunacy. She
Speaker 1: told her reporter.
Speaker 3: We were talking a lot about this Fluiji MANNGIONI, the
Speaker 3: you know, the case about the United Healthcare seat. People
Speaker 3: are very angry United Healthcare, I think for good reason,
Speaker 3: denying care and the whole system. And we were just
Speaker 3: talking of the previous block, you know, killing us, that
Speaker 3: it is not the way you change. You have to
Speaker 3: regulate them, right, and so we've got attempts to try
Speaker 3: to rein in some of these big businesses. The consumer
Speaker 3: financial protection here, which was your creation.
Speaker 4: The Trump administration wants to get rid of it.
Speaker 3: That is like protecting people from like credit card fraud. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what happens if that goes away?
Speaker 1: So look terrible by the way, the whole promise to
Speaker 1: that question, the whole setup where she of course had
Speaker 1: to knock the victim first, right, but you remember what happened.
Speaker 1: If you go on and be like, oh, the George
Speaker 1: Floyd thing, I don't think you should have died, but
Speaker 1: I don't think you should have put a gun to
Speaker 1: a pregnant woman's chest or been high out of his
Speaker 1: mind on whatever the hell that was. Well it was
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything, or you know, trying to
Speaker 1: pass a fake bill. Oh man, you brought any of
Speaker 1: that stuff up. People lose their minds, try to cancel you.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Do you have evidence that he himself did that?
Speaker 4: You might?
Speaker 1: You might just look at the denial numbers there. And
Speaker 1: again this isn't about your beef with United Healthcare. You
Speaker 1: have to be unequivocal on this stuff. And that whole
Speaker 1: Consumer Protection Financial Bureau, that the whole thing was that
Speaker 1: thing just turned into another mechanism of control for government
Speaker 1: and a funnel of taxpayer dollars to progressive causes. And
Speaker 1: then occasionally'll get around to, you know, highlighting a credit
Speaker 1: card fraud thing. Right, it's the idea that that that
Speaker 1: they're that they're inherently pure in what they do, and
Speaker 1: the reality, like most of government, is there not. And
Speaker 1: so the way that you get rid of that, no, no,
Speaker 1: you don't shoot that person. You elect people who go
Speaker 1: this isn't working. Either we need to do something else
Speaker 1: or maybe nothing at all. All right, See, the whole
Speaker 1: question is garbage, of course, but the answer even more garbage, individuals.
Speaker 5: But stop and think overall about the social contract. You know,
Speaker 5: part of the deal in how we've kept this this
Speaker 5: democracy's economy, this country on a fairly steady path for
Speaker 5: more than two hundred years, has been that those at
Speaker 5: the top pay a little more in taxes, are a
Speaker 5: little less rich the majority might be, and everybody else
Speaker 5: at least gets chance. And what happens when you turn
Speaker 5: this into the billionaires run at all is they get
Speaker 5: the opportunity to squeeze every last penny. And look, we'll
Speaker 5: say it over and over. Violence is never the answer.
Speaker 5: This guy gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO
Speaker 5: of United Health. But you can only push people so
Speaker 5: far and then they start to take matters into our
Speaker 5: own hands.
Speaker 1: Yeah what what? Why did you have to add that?
Speaker 1: At the end, people can only take it so much.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they are setting up for more of this,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it'll be CEO. I'm I
Speaker 1: honestly I think it. I think that they'll at some point,
Speaker 1: and I hope I'm wrong on this. I think at
Speaker 1: some point in the next four years there's somebody there
Speaker 1: is a significant attempt on Donald Trump's life. Ross do
Speaker 1: you what do you think? I hate to be the
Speaker 1: guy making this prediction, but do you think that that's
Speaker 1: a very real possibility in this environment.
Speaker 6: Where considering we've already seen this like twice and now
Speaker 6: this is happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think the Ruth lunatic whatever that dude and
Speaker 1: his pervy son allegedly.
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, there's a lot of crazy people out
Speaker 6: there that are ideologically driven. And what's going to happen
Speaker 6: is one person does it, and then a person sees
Speaker 6: that and says, oh, well, now I'm going to do it,
Speaker 6: and then a second person sees it and says, well,
Speaker 6: now I'm going to do it, And every time it happens,
Speaker 6: it creates more of the same thing because people become
Speaker 6: more like they feel like they're justified to do it now,
Speaker 6: like it becomes like a norm.
Speaker 1: Because this isn't speculative violent, well maybe me saying that
Speaker 1: maybe Trump has another attempt, but that's I don't even
Speaker 1: know that's speculative, because as you pointed out, they made
Speaker 1: two attempts last you know, six months or whatever on
Speaker 1: the guy that being said, you can't have the producer
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Kimmel going yeah, it was kind of cool,
Speaker 1: or the ladies on the view it was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Or Elizabeth Warren, which I don't understand it. A lot
Speaker 1: of people like that woman. Her whole premise lunatic who
Speaker 1: used to live down the street from the radio station.
Speaker 6: Her premise alone along about taxes is stupid because we
Speaker 6: didn't have an income tax till nineteen thirteen. Right she's
Speaker 6: talking about this has been like a foundation of the
Speaker 6: country for over two hundred years. What are you talking about.
Speaker 1: Because that's what she needs to You can't if you
Speaker 1: don't have taxes, you can't redistribute it to your friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's your mechanism for extracting this money from them. So
Speaker 1: it's dude, these are dangerous times and they may not
Speaker 1: feel like it. And frankly I did. I didn't. The
Speaker 1: fact that that she then and this is how you
Speaker 1: know that she knew she screwed up. The response was
Speaker 1: so overwhelming she had to issue a clarification. Quote clarification
Speaker 1: reads violence is never the answer, period. I should have
Speaker 1: just been much clear. There was never a justification for murder. Now,
Speaker 1: So your clarification is you want to you meant the
Speaker 1: opposite of what you said. That's not that's not. Oh
Speaker 1: I got I got a town name wrong, and let
Speaker 1: me clarify it because I gave an example. He said, No,
Speaker 1: you went out there and like, dah, yeah, you probably
Speaker 1: shouldn't murder unless you're pushed too far, and then you
Speaker 1: know it's, uh, it's understandable. What do you What are
Speaker 1: you lunatics doing? And if somebody points out that you're
Speaker 1: a lunatic, that in and of itself like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: demonizing your political opponents and dehumanizing them, so people go
Speaker 1: kill him. That's what they said about Trump literally every
Speaker 1: day of his first uh time in office. Every day
Speaker 1: he remember, he was trying to get all the press
Speaker 1: corps killed by calling oh you called him fake news.
Speaker 1: It dehumanizes him. It's what Hitler did to the US.
Speaker 1: And it's like the amount of projection here is so
Speaker 1: off the chart. It's like the you know what, it's
Speaker 1: like Tim Walls right where It's like, now we know
Speaker 1: in hindsight that the reason that he came out and
Speaker 1: was jd. Vance is weird is because he was weird,
Speaker 1: really weird, really really weird. And what I love is
Speaker 1: things like that are backfiring. But you never know who
Speaker 1: you're gonna catch along the way. Jd. Vance is remarkably
Speaker 1: Look is he a little weird? Yeah he is. He's
Speaker 1: a famous dude. He's a senator and he's going to
Speaker 1: be vice president. There's a little oddity to you, and
Speaker 1: a lot of it's just how people perceive you because
Speaker 1: of your life being so different than than most people's.
Speaker 1: That being said, Tim Walls is a lunatic man, and
Speaker 1: he always has been a lunatic. I just luckily I
Speaker 1: was able to forget about him because I moved away
Speaker 1: from Minnesota until I was reminded, like JD.
Speaker 6: Van's right, like his his path has been super weird,
Speaker 6: like an exceptional path.
Speaker 1: Oh, youth is different. I don't know if weird's the
Speaker 1: right words. Yeah, me either.
Speaker 6: But when you see him actually sit down and have
Speaker 6: a conversation with people like Joe Rogan, You're like, this
Speaker 6: dude is super normal for all.
Speaker 1: Of the things that he's gone through and achieved. He
Speaker 1: is like, if you're going on that sliding scale, that
Speaker 1: is really normal. That's really normal. We talk about the
Speaker 1: vampiric effect of DC and you and I have experienced this.
Speaker 1: How many people have we talked to either at the
Speaker 1: beginning of their congressional career or when they're running, and
Speaker 1: then they get into office and you're like, who are you?
Speaker 1: I thought I booked the guy I used to talk
Speaker 1: to or the gal I used to talk to. And
Speaker 1: it's really depressing and I've commented on it, but some
Speaker 1: of them just get weird and you can kind of
Speaker 1: deal with weird. JD. Vance is remarkably unweird on that scale.
Speaker 1: And and the thing is is the people screaming loudest
Speaker 1: about his weirdness are the weirdest ones, Kamala Harris is weird,
Speaker 1: Tim Walls is weird. Weird, Elizabeth Warren is weird. Don't
Speaker 1: you think you'd feel shame after all of the stuff
Speaker 1: that's been uncovered about you? But she doesn't because they
Speaker 1: don't care. And the fact that you have to have
Speaker 1: you have to clarify, and the clarification is, yeah, whatever
Speaker 1: I said, I meant the opposite. You're a clown. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll be back. Hang on, do you remember with the
Speaker 1: Kyle Rittenhouse thing. What would happen if you'd go on
Speaker 1: social media or go to Reddit even and say something like,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe he was justified in doing that.
Speaker 1: You could literally just suggest it in the same way
Speaker 1: a lawyer did. Redd It at the time would give
Speaker 1: you a three day ban depending on unless you had
Speaker 1: more on your history than they might just purge your account.
Speaker 1: Anyone even after the verdict, who said, you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe Rittenhouse was justified in what he's doing, including obviously
Speaker 1: a jury in a court who said that you were
Speaker 1: subject to bands. Reddit is a cesspool right now of
Speaker 1: people who are really into this, dude. And it's not
Speaker 1: all smarmy and sarcastic. It's like you got a bunch
Speaker 1: of people or like you know, who have that eat
Speaker 1: the rich mentality and they're not handing this stuff out.
Speaker 1: You can go post all you want on Facebook. You
Speaker 1: think the CEO thing was okay, you can post it
Speaker 1: on Twitter. But Twitter is a different animal now, so
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's a fair comparison. But you
Speaker 1: can post all this stuff, and obviously you can post
Speaker 1: post it over on Blue Sky. Of course you can't
Speaker 1: post the opposite. So you're actually watching that filtering process happen.
Speaker 1: And obviously to think that Kyle Rittenhouse is the same
Speaker 1: as this Luigi guy, that's that's insanity. But you're dealing
Speaker 1: with insane people. You're dealing with people who project case
Speaker 1: in point. And I guess let's go ahead and get
Speaker 1: into this because I brought up the walls. The walls
Speaker 1: they're weird, right, I think that I think, what were
Speaker 1: you calling him Captain Jazz Hands or whatever or general
Speaker 1: jazz Hands? Right? Just watching Tim Walls operate is strange.
Speaker 1: And I even give them the Minnesota's uh scaling because
Speaker 1: Minnesotans are especially ones who really really are the walls
Speaker 1: is not as Minnesotan. I'm talking like almost Fargo esque
Speaker 1: folks if once you get to know them, it seems
Speaker 1: really normal. But for outsiders because of it, Minnesotans are
Speaker 1: a little weird. And I think Minnesotan's kind of like
Speaker 1: that too. I remember I spent over a decade living
Speaker 1: in that state. And and but Tim Walls is something different, dude.
Speaker 1: And so him and his wife, there's a video that
Speaker 1: was released of them doing the final decorations and waxing
Speaker 1: nostalgic over their Christmas tree and it's it's it's for
Speaker 1: their daughter. So it's and which is not abnormal if
Speaker 1: you've got adult kids that are not they're not home
Speaker 1: for a particular moment over the holidays. Now it days,
Speaker 1: even folks who are senior citizens are savvy enough and
Speaker 1: understand how to use the technology, in many cases better
Speaker 1: than a lot of folks, to capture these moments in
Speaker 1: these videos to send to family members who aren't there
Speaker 1: to converse with. Maybe they have members serving in the
Speaker 1: armed forces, or they're away at college for now and
Speaker 1: they miss the tree decorating, but they'll be home for
Speaker 1: whatever it is. That's not abnormal. The problem is twofold.
Speaker 1: The way the video I'm gonna play it for you.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. In fact, let me not give
Speaker 1: you any parts of the video specifically yet, so you
Speaker 1: can you can cleanly judge this. But here's the problem.
Speaker 1: They said it got posted even though it was meant
Speaker 1: for their daughter, it accidentally got posted to their social
Speaker 1: media for everyone to see. I don't believe you. I
Speaker 1: don't believe you because the Walls is and Gwen Walls
Speaker 1: specifically does social media stuff and post videos of herself,
Speaker 1: which is where they were able to mind some of
Speaker 1: that insanity on her, so she's not not savvy to
Speaker 1: how to do it. I honestly, my theory is this
Speaker 1: is it's fake. It's not fake in the sense that
Speaker 1: they filmed this in the idea that was for their daughter.
Speaker 1: But I think the plan all along was to post it,
Speaker 1: which makes it far worse because now it wasn't shot
Speaker 1: just for your loved one. And you know, sometimes people
Speaker 1: people have things in their families that seem weird to outsiders.
Speaker 1: It's always interesting, how many when you lit the first
Speaker 1: time you went to Christmas or Thanksgiving or whatever with
Speaker 1: your spouse's family a little weird, right, because people do,
Speaker 1: especially Christmas and stuff they do things a little different,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just like everyone gets so open to
Speaker 1: present the night before and you're like, my house, that
Speaker 1: wouldn't have worked, but and you blend that stuff together.
Speaker 1: But no, I don't know what's going on here, So
Speaker 1: I want you to look at it through the lens
Speaker 1: of it was intended just for their daughter and it
Speaker 1: was a whoopsie, which I don't believe, or they did
Speaker 1: it in an attempt to normalize themselves because now all
Speaker 1: that they're getting and hearing on these shows, and including
Speaker 1: that big media panel that Kelly and Conway and Van
Speaker 1: Jones and all those folks were on that big forum
Speaker 1: the New York Times is putting on, You're pricing clips
Speaker 1: on Twitter like even they even all the Democrats on there,
Speaker 1: keep talking about how weird Walls and his wife are
Speaker 1: and how he was a bad choice. So you know,
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to hear that. But then you think
Speaker 1: you can do something about it, and so you put
Speaker 1: this video out. Are you ready? Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: You have been warned. Let's do this.
Speaker 7: Hey, hope, mom and dad here, Hey help her girl.
Speaker 8: Finishing decorating the family tree in the living room or
Speaker 8: in our family room here, and it's all of the hen.
Speaker 1: And also that weird little clarification like, wouldn't she know
Speaker 1: where the tree is? Why do you have to tell
Speaker 1: her that it's in the family room and then correct
Speaker 1: to a different room, Like, didn't Ross, and you're growing up?
Speaker 1: Was your tree mostly always in the same place?
Speaker 6: This entire thing?
Speaker 1: Well, don't poison anybody. Yeah, I'll let you get have
Speaker 1: the first ran at the moment it's done, though, I
Speaker 1: promise Ross has some thoughts. All right, I'm just asking
Speaker 1: your tree when you were growing up, was usually in
Speaker 1: the same place? Tree? Yes, yeah, why would you have
Speaker 1: to clarify?
Speaker 7: Hey, Hope, mom and dad here, Hey hooper girl, finishing.
Speaker 4: Decorating the family place all the way through it in our.
Speaker 8: Family room here, and it's all of the handmade ornaments
Speaker 8: over the years. So we were thinking of you, and
Speaker 8: I just wanted to show you a couple. We were
Speaker 8: cracking up about a couple of these. So I'll try it.
Speaker 4: Here. You go, take a look at this.
Speaker 9: Look at those pretty sparkles.
Speaker 8: Youse two thousand and five. Here's children are like snowflakes.
Speaker 8: Each one is unique.
Speaker 9: Right there, you're on a little reindeer at rock Sands house.
Speaker 4: All right, and uh, here's Gus, your brother.
Speaker 10: There.
Speaker 9: He made us that one from basketball.
Speaker 4: When he was dunking. So anyway, hey, Hope, we got
Speaker 4: the final one.
Speaker 8: You're gonna love this toilet paper roll angel you made it.
Speaker 9: Do you see your little hands? Here the angel wings.
Speaker 4: So here we go on the tree, not on.
Speaker 9: A real tree, but on this family tree. We dad
Speaker 9: got it on their Joy to the World.
Speaker 4: All right, there you go.
Speaker 8: I know you're missing your Grisweld family. Decorate your house
Speaker 8: for Christmas.
Speaker 4: We're thinking of you. Love your hope bye.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, so the Joy of the World
Speaker 1: reference all right, ros I'm told you that first bike.
Speaker 6: Oh I am more confused by this video than by
Speaker 6: the drone videos we're seeing coming out of New Joow.
Speaker 6: That is not how you talk to a family member
Speaker 6: in a video. It is And listen, I can be weird.
Speaker 1: I can.
Speaker 6: I am a super introverted person, especially on camera, but
Speaker 6: not even my own family. Like if sending my sisters
Speaker 6: or my mom a video. I've known you now forever.
Speaker 6: If I were to send you a video in the studio,
Speaker 6: it wouldn't be like Hi, k C.
Speaker 1: It's me Ross, co worker for over a decade.
Speaker 6: I'm here in the studio in which studio you know,
Speaker 6: in which studio I don't know. So clarify the way
Speaker 6: they're speaking the presentation, like, hey, this is our tree.
Speaker 6: These are our ornaments, a real tree. These are ornaments
Speaker 6: that you've probably put on the tree for a lotly
Speaker 6: yearf through year. Because these are old ornaments. You don't
Speaker 6: need to explain to her if she, if this video
Speaker 6: is for her, what these ornaments are, because she has
Speaker 6: seen them.
Speaker 1: They hold it up and go, remember this.
Speaker 6: This would listen, This would make sense if say, and
Speaker 6: I as and I'm saying this as as I don't
Speaker 6: mean this isn't offensive. I'm saying this is a parent
Speaker 6: of a special needs child. It sounds like they're talking
Speaker 6: to a three or four year old or like say,
Speaker 6: like an older special needs child. It makes and she's
Speaker 6: not special needs, which is like she's a great she's
Speaker 6: an adult. Correct.
Speaker 1: Correct. Her and her brother did a video that was
Speaker 1: before and they actually seem more normal than their.
Speaker 6: Making a video where where you're like, I hope i'm
Speaker 6: your mom and dad, it's Christmas, and here's our tree.
Speaker 6: Here's ornaments that we're putting this thing is as as
Speaker 6: as real and as generic as all these fake promo
Speaker 6: campaign videos as they put out during during the like
Speaker 6: where he's like, I'm just a guy and I'm changing
Speaker 6: the filter in my car, and now let me tell
Speaker 6: you about the economy. You know what it's It's all fake.
Speaker 6: It's super fake, and they're weird. I don't understand the
Speaker 6: point of this. It's bizarre, Like I said, I am
Speaker 6: more confused confused by this video, the presentation, how they're speaking,
Speaker 6: and what they're doing, than the weird drones in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, that's become a choose your own adventure.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that here in a moment. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and and be what makes it extra weird is so
Speaker 1: you believe, like me, that this was not a whoopsie
Speaker 1: that they meant for their daughter or do you think
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 6: I I don't know what it, Like I said, I'm
Speaker 6: confused by it. I don't because it's really creepy both way.
Speaker 6: It seems like a weird produced like the kind of
Speaker 6: stuff you saw from them during the campaign that didn't work.
Speaker 6: And the reason it didn't work is because it's weird.
Speaker 6: It's relate to how you speak. If I'm if I
Speaker 6: A were to send a video now to my sisters,
Speaker 6: it wouldn't be it would be very It wouldn't the presentation.
Speaker 6: It seems like it's they're trying to produce something. It
Speaker 6: wouldn't be like, hey Karen, it's your brother Ross. It
Speaker 6: would be hey, how are you so? What's It would
Speaker 6: just be like a conversational type video where it wouldn't
Speaker 6: have to be super focused in and the camera would
Speaker 6: be moving around. I've sent videos to friends and filmly
Speaker 6: and that's how those videos are because you're not thinking
Speaker 6: about it, because it doesn't have to be overproduced because
Speaker 6: the world isn't going to see it.
Speaker 1: It's a thing. It's a And I saw some people
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, the toilet paper angels the problem. No,
Speaker 1: that's the least for the problem. Homemade homemade ornaments from
Speaker 1: your kid when they were younger is normal.
Speaker 6: Right, And I have those at home, and we have
Speaker 6: the angel, we have the stuff that Lincoln made at
Speaker 6: school out of a pine cone that looks like it's like, yeah,
Speaker 6: we have all that kind of stuff, and the macaroni art.
Speaker 6: The reason they're showing that is because they think it's
Speaker 6: relatable because everyone has it. Because it's fake, it's phony, it's.
Speaker 1: Not real what they're seeking. Let's just be clear. People
Speaker 1: don't want to be hated. I mean maybe a few
Speaker 1: people do you know if your last name is the Impaler,
Speaker 1: But most people don't want to be hated. And I
Speaker 1: think what Tim Walls and his wife want is they
Speaker 1: want that moment where when people talk about them in
Speaker 1: the news, they go, man, we missed out right. That's
Speaker 1: for losing politician. One of the one of the few
Speaker 1: things that can then make you feel better is if
Speaker 1: later down the road people start having second thoughts and
Speaker 1: and and are almost apologetic that they didn't embrace you
Speaker 1: when they should have. I feel that's as good as
Speaker 1: you can feel, and I think that's what they're looking for.
Speaker 6: I feel bad for the daughter too, because the daughter's
Speaker 6: friends are going to see that and be like, why
Speaker 6: are your parents talking to you like like you're three
Speaker 6: or four?
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know. Maybe it's but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe our friends are all lunatics too. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, But I saw that video and
Speaker 1: I realized it was cringe. But it was cringe on
Speaker 1: two different paths and I don't know, but that's like
Speaker 1: all of our stories, there are two different paths. Like
Speaker 1: I mentioned, the drone thing is to choose your own adventure. Ross,
Speaker 1: do you want to go with aliens or Iranian mother ships?
Speaker 1: Which page you want to flip to Iranian otherships or aliens?
Speaker 1: I would prefer the aliens? All right, all right, so
Speaker 1: let's do this. We come back, we'll see if Ross
Speaker 1: just landed in quicksand we'll do it next. Hang on,
Speaker 1: there's we'll get into that. I'm gonna probably irritate some
Speaker 1: of the some of the Catholic community here, but I
Speaker 1: just like, I don't understand some things. And I'm my
Speaker 1: family's Catholic, and I was raised Catholic, so I did
Speaker 1: a catechkids, I did all the stuff, okay, and I'm
Speaker 1: just really confounded with stuff that's going on here. So
Speaker 1: I don't want you to think there's an attack on Catholicism.
Speaker 1: It's an attack on what these things. And then Ross
Speaker 1: told me that the Pope was opening portals and I'm like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: what the hell is that? And now I figured out
Speaker 1: what it is. It is different, but we'll do our
Speaker 1: best to explain that I am, you know what, ross,
Speaker 1: I can't go to news sites because every damn news
Speaker 1: site has a top breaking news banner about Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: and it's just killing me. And you know who had
Speaker 1: to send me like nine friggin emails yesterday because he's
Speaker 1: so super excited. It's probably gonna go out a fangirl
Speaker 1: and try to groop you over there or something. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm aware of what's going on. I think it's interesting,
Speaker 1: as I saw one writer write that you essentially felt
Speaker 1: a way to you felt a need to purge yourself
Speaker 1: of a seventy three year old who clearly you thought
Speaker 1: the game was passing him by to hire a seventy
Speaker 1: two year old. That's interesting to a lot of people.
Speaker 1: But maybe it works out. Guys got six whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: they doesn't have the NFL to constantly find them. Probably
Speaker 1: won't get in trouble for filming other people's practices even
Speaker 1: though they're not supposed to.
Speaker 6: I think you're gonna have an implosion of epic proportions.
Speaker 1: When it does go bad. It's gonna go so bad,
Speaker 1: is yes? I would agree with you there, all right?
Speaker 1: So well, yes, I'm aware of it. Thank you all
Speaker 1: the news sites and Boston Paul's relentless email campaign. All right,
Speaker 1: so the Jersey drones thing for a moment had an answer,
Speaker 1: and then it didn't. So now it's to choose your
Speaker 1: own adventure. And I'm even more confused. So when we
Speaker 1: last left the story, you could either yesterday gravitate towards
Speaker 1: the drones are from an Iranian mothership, and then a
Speaker 1: few short hours hours later they're not from an Iranian mothership.
Speaker 1: And that's not a thing. And these are Pentagon spokespeople
Speaker 1: and members of Congress telling you two different stories. So
Speaker 1: I guess at that point you get to choose. All right,
Speaker 1: So Ross you went with aliens, right, so Ross is
Speaker 1: going with aliens. I'm gonna go with Iranian mothership. Let's
Speaker 1: hear how those two things play out. We'll start with
Speaker 1: the mothership because that was the first press conference or interview. Rather,
Speaker 1: it was an interview on Fox of the Day. Let's
Speaker 1: do this and focus now.
Speaker 5: Republican Congressman Jeff Van Andrew of New Jersey, member of
Speaker 5: the House Judiciary Committee on the Hill.
Speaker 3: Right now, how do you address this at this point?
Speaker 11: Well, here's the real deal, Harris you know, I'm also
Speaker 11: on the Transportation Committee, on the Aviation Subcommittee, and I've
Speaker 11: gotten to know people and from very high sources, very
Speaker 11: qualified sources, very responsible sources. I'm going to tell you
Speaker 11: the real deal. Iran launched a mothership, probably about a
Speaker 11: month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off
Speaker 11: I'm gonna tell you the deal. It's off the east
Speaker 11: coast of the United States of America. They've launched. Drone
Speaker 11: is everything that we can see or hear. And again,
Speaker 11: these are from high sources. I don't say this lightly. Now,
Speaker 11: you know, we know there was a probability it could
Speaker 11: have been our own government. We know it's not our
Speaker 11: own government because they would have let us know. It
Speaker 11: could have been some really glorified hobbyist or hobbyists that we're.
Speaker 4: Doing something unbelievable.
Speaker 11: They don't have the technology, but let's pretend that's possible.
Speaker 11: The third possibility with somebody, an adversarial country doing this.
Speaker 11: You know that Iran made a deal with China to
Speaker 11: purchase drones, motherships, and technology in order to go.
Speaker 1: Forward wildly competing quote unquote official announcements on this one
Speaker 1: from a member of Congress from New Jersey who also
Speaker 1: sits on a bunch of different committees, including Foreign Relations, Transportation,
Speaker 1: and Aviation, which those are the you know, that's the
Speaker 1: group that's probably gonna be the most wondering what's going on.
Speaker 1: And he's from New Jersey, and he started talking about
Speaker 1: how sources told him that the drones were emanating from
Speaker 1: some sort of Iranian mothership, which if it's a mothership,
Speaker 1: you'd have to subjugate it, but whatever, So that's the
Speaker 1: terms they use, which is that's crazy, But is it
Speaker 1: really that people would sit in international waters and screw
Speaker 1: with folks? Not that crazy. You'd have to have some
Speaker 1: range on those drones. But also it'd be even crazier
Speaker 1: as if that is something that they knew and they
Speaker 1: weren't popping these things out of the sky. But we
Speaker 1: saw what happened with the Chinese weather balloon thing, the
Speaker 1: spy balloon insanity. And so with that, Ami, I'm going
Speaker 1: to finish this story and then we're going to get
Speaker 1: into the pardons that were just announced. Yes, that story's
Speaker 1: breaking this morning, and I wanted some time to digest
Speaker 1: what was on there, to make sure they weren't trying
Speaker 1: to slip anything through I don't know that this is
Speaker 1: the end you're going to see on this stuff, but
Speaker 1: it is. It is surely a new record. So that
Speaker 1: here in just a moment, none of the big names
Speaker 1: that you're thinking about are on there, at least in
Speaker 1: this batch. But I'll explain the reasoning for over fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred commutations and pardons which were just announced. Okay, so
Speaker 1: let me get back to this. So this congressman comes out,
Speaker 1: He tells Fox News that there's an Iranian mother ship
Speaker 1: and that they're sending these drones to spy. And there
Speaker 1: was a bunch of drones that were over Bedminster, which
Speaker 1: is the golf club that Trump owns. They're in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: so I'm probably mispronounce it, but I don't care.
Speaker 5: Like that.
Speaker 1: But also it could be a bunch of moonbats. I
Speaker 1: think it's funny to screw with Trump. Like, people just
Speaker 1: want answers. So would a foreign adversary do something like
Speaker 1: that the Iranians who have empowered people to sit there
Speaker 1: on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula and fire indiscriminately
Speaker 1: at any boat that goes by. Yeah, Iran would do
Speaker 1: something like that. So then the Press the Pentagon like
Speaker 1: the White House has a daily press conference, and so
Speaker 1: several hours later we go to the Pentagon and they
Speaker 1: have the Pentagon spokesperson there, who's who is now has
Speaker 1: to hit this head on And I assumed it was
Speaker 1: going to be a bunch of no comment, We're looking
Speaker 1: into it, we had a handle on it, but instead
Speaker 1: it was something completely different.
Speaker 12: So aware of those drone sightings that have been reported.
Speaker 12: At this time, we have no evidence that these activities
Speaker 12: are coming from a foreign entity or the work of
Speaker 12: an adversary. We're going to continue to monitor what is happening.
Speaker 12: But you know, at no point where our installations threatened
Speaker 12: when this activity was occurring.
Speaker 2: Can you rule out that these are American drums, were
Speaker 2: military drums.
Speaker 12: These are not US military drones. Again, this is being
Speaker 12: investigated by local law enforcement. What our initial assessment here
Speaker 12: is that these are not drones or activity coming from
Speaker 12: a foreign entity or adversary.
Speaker 2: Representative Jeff Andrew, who is a Republican from New Jersey,
Speaker 2: was just on the air saying that Iran launched a
Speaker 2: mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones,
Speaker 2: and that that mothership is off the coast of the
Speaker 2: East Coast of the United States. Is there any truth
Speaker 2: to that.
Speaker 12: There is not any truth to that. There is no
Speaker 12: Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and
Speaker 12: there's no so called mothership launching drones towards the United States.
Speaker 1: First of all, here's my quibble. There are are there
Speaker 1: Iranian ships out there spying on the US. Yes, are
Speaker 1: they at the technology that ours are? No but Iran
Speaker 1: Even though even though back in the day, and it's
Speaker 1: very very famous, long story that I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get into, we went to go we went to go
Speaker 1: down one Iranian ship or aircraft like to send a message.
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out what to do, and these
Speaker 1: insane Iranians kept engaging far superior US military and we
Speaker 1: ended up annihilating half of their fleet. We didn't even
Speaker 1: try to We didn't even try to annihilate the half
Speaker 1: of their fleet like THEYD because they drive buying a
Speaker 1: ship and they'd have I don't know, some uh, you know,
Speaker 1: some big manned mounted gun on the ship but clearly
Speaker 1: not its primary weapon, and they would just indiscriminately fire
Speaker 1: them at US battleships and then, like some do, the
Speaker 1: battleship after he'd had enough but just be like can
Speaker 1: we engage and like, well, I mean technically if they've
Speaker 1: engaged you and then he just hit a button and
Speaker 1: then just blow them to smitherings. And this happened for
Speaker 1: like thirty six hours. They ended up losing half their fleet.
Speaker 1: But they're still out there, So don't tell me Iran's
Speaker 1: not out doing stuff. Okay, that being said, how are
Speaker 1: these takes so different? And who's motivated to tell us
Speaker 1: the truth or not the truth? It's really hard to
Speaker 1: weigh this stuff because this isn't where a lot of
Speaker 1: times you can look at this stuff and realize that
Speaker 1: one side's playing a little Koi and the other side
Speaker 1: is playing a little Koi and there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of truth to both things going on. But she said, unilaterly,
Speaker 1: there is no Iranian mothership. There is no drones of
Speaker 1: foreign adversaries or US military drones. She ruled both of
Speaker 1: those out unequivocally, and v Andrews said, literally the opposite thing.
Speaker 1: Who's lying? And then you just have to start asking, well,
Speaker 1: who benefits or loses politically, because even in times where
Speaker 1: people are actually scared and it could be just exaggerated,
Speaker 1: like some of the killer clowns some of the shark
Speaker 1: media stuff, or there's something really going on, and even
Speaker 1: if it's hoaxters, you have to take that seriously. I
Speaker 1: saw one of these state reps in New Jersey doing
Speaker 1: an interview yesterday because he drove to DC. They called
Speaker 1: local officials together to DC and they had a one
Speaker 1: hour meeting and during the meeting they provided no information.
Speaker 1: Guy was livid, livid. He's like, I drove two hours
Speaker 1: and I've drive two hours back and it was one
Speaker 1: hour where they told us nothing. They brought him in
Speaker 1: a room, made him travel to tell them that they
Speaker 1: knew nothing. They weren't really looking into anything, and it's
Speaker 1: probably nothing. So now I have to sit there and
Speaker 1: run it through the thing. Now, would the New Jersey
Speaker 1: guy do it? Because he's ginned up and he's getting
Speaker 1: hit by a bunch of constituents and he was led
Speaker 1: astray by a source. It's a possibility. But the other
Speaker 1: possibility is it is a foreign adversary and they don't
Speaker 1: want a bunch of you good old boys in bass
Speaker 1: boats pop it out there at eighty miles an hour
Speaker 1: with a shotgun to handle this yourself, which kind of
Speaker 1: seems like more of a possibility. Are you look at
Speaker 1: those Trump flot remember the Trump flotillas during during the
Speaker 1: Florida rallies. They have all these boat flotillas, right, you
Speaker 1: think there's not half those people out there? Thought they
Speaker 1: were flying drones to survey of them. That wouldn't be like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I wonder if I could shoot one down. I know
Speaker 1: people I went to school with would be first in
Speaker 1: line for that. And that's obviously that's not a good
Speaker 1: thing if you're wanting to maintain every aspect of control,
Speaker 1: even if your control kind of looks like you're ignoring
Speaker 1: this thing. So I don't know what the answer is,
Speaker 1: but those those two cuts couldn't be more different. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's we'll leave that. They're eight eight eight nine
Speaker 1: three four seven eight seven four. I don't know what
Speaker 1: do you what do you think is going on? And
Speaker 1: I got a hard time with the I got a
Speaker 1: hard time listening to the Pentagon lady, because you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. Over the years,
Speaker 1: the Pentagon has not always been truthful with us. In fact,
Speaker 1: I think they had some papers one time. I don't
Speaker 1: have to look back on that. Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1: What do you want what I do for you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, if you're seventy two years old, right, I'm doing
Speaker 10: and it's a possible ability you may have to replace
Speaker 10: your twenty four year old girlfriend already ready to go?
Speaker 10: Do you go to the well? So what is so
Speaker 10: hard literally for you to understand? Yeah? Exactly, Yeah, you're
Speaker 10: having a hard time understanding this. And on the drone thing,
Speaker 10: they write to us so much, Uh, it could be
Speaker 10: Iran And she come out and said it's absolutely not Okay,
Speaker 10: then mat it's China.
Speaker 1: Well said it's absolutely not for an for an adversary.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. If she'd have just said it's
Speaker 1: not Iran, I'd be sitting here going okay, somebody else
Speaker 1: and she's being koy about it. But she said it's
Speaker 1: not a foreign adversary. Well, how do you know that?
Speaker 10: If you don't know anything, I don't believe anything they
Speaker 10: say an it wants.
Speaker 1: So I have another theory you ready?
Speaker 4: M hm?
Speaker 1: It's it's Bill Belichick.
Speaker 10: Has you know his assistant coach Tom Brady. He's probably
Speaker 10: gonna make the next superstar of a quarterback come out
Speaker 10: of you.
Speaker 1: And see, are you gonna go out there like groupie
Speaker 1: with tight tight little belly belly shirt on and some
Speaker 1: short shorts. If you can go hang.
Speaker 10: Out with I'm gonna paint myself blue. Yeah all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you realize that when this goes bad, it's
Speaker 1: gonna go real bad.
Speaker 10: Right, it might who knows, but it may go very well.
Speaker 10: You don't, you don't know.
Speaker 1: It's a coin toss, but eventually it will go bad
Speaker 1: because that's.
Speaker 10: The coin does. Yeah, all right, that's why he's going
Speaker 10: to the well.
Speaker 1: Rigged coin toss, which they now catch in their hands
Speaker 1: a championship game.
Speaker 10: That's why you go to the well.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right. By the way, don't be a bunch
Speaker 1: of creepy old men going out to the UNC to
Speaker 1: the well and trying to pick up college students there.
Speaker 1: Pick him up at the bars like a normal person. Donna,
Speaker 1: what's up, Good morning, Casey, good morning.
Speaker 13: Uh, you were wrong once again, Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick
Speaker 13: has eight rings, six for head coach and two for
Speaker 13: defensive coordinator's giant for.
Speaker 1: The Giants, which is why he's harassing and probably former
Speaker 1: Giants players living just south of Manhattan there. So I
Speaker 1: was not wrong. I said he had six rings with
Speaker 1: the Patriots.
Speaker 11: No, you didn't.
Speaker 13: Six rings six.
Speaker 1: As a coat. Well all right, so we're splitting hairs here,
Speaker 1: but what that whatever?
Speaker 13: Okay, okay, Ross, we need to replay.
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, you're probably right. I probably didn't clarify, but
Speaker 1: that's what I meant.
Speaker 13: So so two things. If if Boston Paul wants to
Speaker 13: share an uber, I will go group you with him,
Speaker 13: and I will also paint myself blue.
Speaker 1: I don't want you guys doing that, please.
Speaker 13: And the other thing is, I know you're going to
Speaker 13: be talking about the commutations, and I sent you some
Speaker 13: stats because they want to they want Biden to commutate.
Speaker 1: We got the audio.
Speaker 14: Stat make sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was about all the murdering, but
Speaker 1: apparently it's about the racism. So yeah, right, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: find out. So all right, kay, yeah, we're headed down
Speaker 1: that rabbit hole in a moment. So don't fit yourself blue.
Speaker 11: This is.
Speaker 1: There's going to be interesting. Seven eighteen. Hang on, Biden
Speaker 1: commutes roughly fifteen hundred sentences and pardons thirty nine people
Speaker 1: in single biggest day act of clemency. And it's not
Speaker 1: even close, by the way, fifteen hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 1: people on one day. Pales to the current record holder
Speaker 1: or I guess the previous record holder, which was three
Speaker 1: hundred and what Barack Obama held the record, remember when
Speaker 1: he did that mass thing, which, by the way, it's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting when he then starts seeing how everything turned
Speaker 1: out for everybody who was pardon there. Now, I will
Speaker 1: say this, there are a lot of people when you
Speaker 1: get into the clemency side, that probably are deserving of that.
Speaker 1: And it's it's one of the reasons that states have
Speaker 1: pushed in many instances to provide a pathway to doing
Speaker 1: things like being able to regain your ability to vote. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's weird that they always wanted for voting. They never
Speaker 1: want it for the Second Amendment, and gee, I wonder why.
Speaker 1: But if you think people have had have turned their
Speaker 1: life around, they've served their sentence, that is remarkably different
Speaker 1: than some of the preemptive pardons we were talking about.
Speaker 1: And then we can we can debate on a case
Speaker 1: by case basis, but to throw fifteen hundred out there
Speaker 1: on one day, that's pretty crazy. So who are we
Speaker 1: talking about? Well, it runs the gamut. It runs the gamut.
Speaker 1: You have you have pardons that you know, pardons or
Speaker 1: clemency that a lot of there's a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: there is. There's a lot of people who were released
Speaker 1: from prison during COVID. Remember we were doing that. We're like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's get people out of the prisons because they're all
Speaker 1: going to get the COVID. And they claimed it was
Speaker 1: gonna be all non violent offenders. It wasn't. But a
Speaker 1: lot of folks who then didn't decide that they were
Speaker 1: going to go out and do a lot more crime
Speaker 1: or at least get caught for it, are on this list.
Speaker 1: But it's not the big name stuff that people were
Speaker 1: talking about. Okay, it's not the you know, it's not
Speaker 1: the Merry Garland, it's not to Adam Schiff, not yet.
Speaker 1: But the White House does say that they'll they'll have
Speaker 1: they'll have some more before the end of the term,
Speaker 1: and so you keep a watchful either. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they it's it's it's quite the number there. So I
Speaker 1: don't know whether that will distract people all day from
Speaker 1: the fact that there's either alien or Iranian mothership or
Speaker 1: something else. Drones, as many of you pointed out, its
Speaker 1: interesting the location, Like you notice, if they were if
Speaker 1: the goal is to surveil or harass Trump flying over
Speaker 1: his New Jersey club. Wouldn't it be a lot better
Speaker 1: to surveil and harassed Trump over mar A Lago? Right?
Speaker 1: Why do you think? Why do you think that they're
Speaker 1: surveilling and harassing truck if you believe that's the goal.
Speaker 1: And I mean they're definitely like there was like eleven
Speaker 1: different drones they've cided over and that's from New Jersey
Speaker 1: State Police or whatever. They just don't know what they
Speaker 1: are over there, So it clearly looks like it. Why
Speaker 1: do you think that they're willing to do that to
Speaker 1: New Jersey but not Florida? Any guesses as to why
Speaker 1: that might be? Because those drones don't make it back? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Who could have predicted this? Right here? So at first
Speaker 1: this was identified the person who is dead, they identified
Speaker 1: as the former deputy mayor of some city in Siberia.
Speaker 1: Turned out it was it's not him, but it's like
Speaker 1: his assistant. Okay, So it's all What it's all about
Speaker 1: is what it will released. What they're saying is it's
Speaker 1: part of a larger corruption investigation into bribery. Although in
Speaker 1: Russia maybe it's because you wouldn't take bribes. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But so they bring this guy to the Russian Investigative
Speaker 1: Committee building. And you should read this as the current
Speaker 1: iteration of some of the secret police KGB Stazi kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. It's just now they're wearing nicer suits kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. But still, I mean, it's rubber hoses and
Speaker 1: answer our questions. You don't want to go there. Well,
Speaker 1: what happened was is they're trying to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of this. They take this individual into the interrogation rooms,
Speaker 1: which are this whole building, are on the eleventh floor,
Speaker 1: lucky number eleven. And apparently while they're while they're interrogating
Speaker 1: this guy in one of their conversation rooms, because you
Speaker 1: don't call him interrogation rooms anymore, right, even in US,
Speaker 1: they call him something else. But I don't know, I
Speaker 1: haven't been arrested enough. So and apparently something happened, something
Speaker 1: else happened, and before you know it, there's literally video
Speaker 1: from street cams of this dude's body emanating from this
Speaker 1: this big Florida ceiling window there on the eleventh floor,
Speaker 1: then falling to his death. But first he didn't hit
Speaker 1: the street. He actually fell through the building next door,
Speaker 1: which is two stories slam through the roof into I
Speaker 1: think it was a restroom arry or something, is what
Speaker 1: they were saying. I have a question, how many of
Speaker 1: you have watched a show with police and suspects? Ross
Speaker 1: you ever watched a show with police and suspects? Police procedural?
Speaker 1: You ever lay eyes of those? Okay? When you and
Speaker 1: you've seen interrogation rooms in there they have Okay, do
Speaker 1: they have Florida's ceiling openable of windows? Do they have
Speaker 1: that in the interrogation room?
Speaker 6: I typically I don't think so. Maybe maybe it's different
Speaker 6: in Russia. It's like a.
Speaker 1: Culture currently it is. It's very dangerous whenever.
Speaker 6: We see it, like you know, like like American media,
Speaker 6: it's like that interrogation room is like in like a
Speaker 6: basement or something.
Speaker 1: Like you they want you, don't want you to be
Speaker 1: able to wiggle out of the window. So yeah, very dark,
Speaker 1: not a big window there now. But in Russia they
Speaker 1: want to let the sun shine in man so or
Speaker 1: in this case it's Siberia's there's probably not a lot
Speaker 1: of that. What the hell again for the for the
Speaker 1: umpteenth time, Ah, guess we'll never know. They're looking into
Speaker 1: it though, they're trying to figure out what happened. So
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll get back to us. Just say every week, man,
Speaker 1: every week, it's something, all right. So now I've had
Speaker 1: I've had a moment. This is one of the most
Speaker 1: click baby. Oh geez, Now Carolina Football's your Twitter account
Speaker 1: is just posting Family Guy for the There's this thing
Speaker 1: right now going on where you take Family Guy clips
Speaker 1: and then you stitch it into real life. It's really weird.
Speaker 1: And so they're just doing all the Bill Belichick Family
Speaker 1: Guy appearances. Are you guys gonna change your name to
Speaker 1: the Silly Nannies too? That'd be interesting. So thank you
Speaker 1: really for everyone who's tagging me on that as I
Speaker 1: block you or at least mute you. So this is
Speaker 1: such a clickbaity headline and it relies on people not
Speaker 1: having any concept of Catholic dogma, which is fine. A
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know everything about all the differ
Speaker 1: and I surely don't know all of it. It's been
Speaker 1: a while since Catechism and really going to the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church on the regular. So with that being said, when
Speaker 1: you read this headline, Russ sent me pretty crazy, man.
Speaker 1: Pope France is to open five sacred portals on Christmas
Speaker 1: Eve for a ritual that's never been done before. That
Speaker 1: sounds pretty interesting. Huh. The Pope's going to open portals,
Speaker 1: portals to where the upside down heaven?
Speaker 9: Hell?
Speaker 1: What's going on here? What does that mean?
Speaker 6: It brings in all three Christmas ghosts and two mystery ghosts.
Speaker 1: Oh we got mystery like cameos or something? Right, which
Speaker 1: which ghost do you want cameo for this? I was
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, what about large march? Can we
Speaker 1: camm can we cameo her in before we bring Jesus back?
Speaker 1: Which you know you're probably gonna go finale on that thing.
Speaker 1: So the Holy ghost, Like, No, that's not what it means. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not. Just so are clear. There's no portals per
Speaker 1: se here. The the opening of these doors, which are
Speaker 1: very ornate doors. Oh and why do they say they've
Speaker 1: never been done before, because the timing is different, and
Speaker 1: more specifically, the location of one of the doors is different.
Speaker 1: But these are really grandiose. If anybody's been to Rome
Speaker 1: and been to Vatican City, it's obviously the architecture is
Speaker 1: pretty over the top, kind of a whole mark of churches,
Speaker 1: especially some of the great, big churches around the world.
Speaker 1: I don't just mean of the of the Catholic faith
Speaker 1: or the Christian faith, but like some of the most
Speaker 1: impressive things that you can see from historical architecture because
Speaker 1: it was such an integral part of or integral part
Speaker 1: of a life, whether you wanted it to be or not.
Speaker 1: Back then, they spared no expense for these things, and
Speaker 1: it's it's really impressive stuff. And if you get a
Speaker 1: chance to go to Europe and you're in any of
Speaker 1: that stuff, I know it sounds boring, but I'm a
Speaker 1: history nerd and it's not. There's so much history there
Speaker 1: and so much like if you get a chance to
Speaker 1: go to Rosalind Chapel, I know it got rug into
Speaker 1: all of the if you're in Scotland, I know it
Speaker 1: got drug into all of the you know, the Tom
Speaker 1: Hanks movies and all of that. And there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the church that weren't pleased with that.
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a it's a very unique ornate place.
Speaker 1: It's very interesting. So what they're talking about outer doors
Speaker 1: that are symbols, Okay, it's symbolism, and essentially the symbolism
Speaker 1: is enter through here to enter under the protection of
Speaker 1: God and in the city, you know, and and in
Speaker 1: and into the faith. Okay, So it's not science fiction portal.
Speaker 1: It's not a wormhole to the multiverse. No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It would be interesting if it was. I'd be terrified
Speaker 1: what would pop out of there.
Speaker 6: I mean, they got some interesting stuff in the catacombs,
Speaker 6: like the basement of the Vatican or whatever. I mean,
Speaker 6: they could one in the base the Vatican archives. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: there's I mean, there's speculation what's all in there. But
Speaker 6: the stuff that we kind of know is in there
Speaker 6: is pretty crazy, right. So yeah, I'd love to get
Speaker 6: I'd love to get in there. I don't want the
Speaker 6: air turned off, but yeah, no, i'd love that would
Speaker 6: be that would be fascinating.
Speaker 1: Hey man, that almost ended badly. So with that in mind,
Speaker 1: that's what they're talking about with these doors, and I
Speaker 1: could get into more of the specific nature of it. Well,
Speaker 1: the thing that's different this time around is one he's
Speaker 1: he's kind of hurrying the process, the pope. But more importantly,
Speaker 1: one of the doors is in a prison. Okay, rub Eva,
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of the prison, but and
Speaker 1: so it's the first time they've done one of these
Speaker 1: in this prison setting, and I guess the pope's theory
Speaker 1: is that they need hope because they're in prison. So
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do, all right, And it's
Speaker 1: more symbolism for people in prison, not necessarily even in
Speaker 1: the historical concept of this prison. And then they do
Speaker 1: they have doors in the different basilicas, and they it
Speaker 1: starts Christmas at Christmas Eve, and then they do it
Speaker 1: on specific days, including New Year's which is which is
Speaker 1: a thing within the Catholic Church as well. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of religions and so that's what they're talking about here.
Speaker 1: There's no actual wormholes, but what a clickbaity article. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure I probably shrewd a little of it up,
Speaker 1: but I'm on there. The thing that I'm more concerned about,
Speaker 1: and this is what I'm curious. What's up with that
Speaker 1: nativity scene? And it's not the only one, but the
Speaker 1: fact that this Jesuit pope is kneeling in front of it,
Speaker 1: I'm really concerned. So I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 1: There's a nativity scene and baby Jesus is swaddled in
Speaker 1: a Palestinian capilla or whatever, The thing is, you know
Speaker 1: the thing, you know, the thing that all the protesters
Speaker 1: are wearing. The baby Jesus is swaddled in this Muslim garb.
Speaker 1: What are we doing? This is like protect the home team.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. Also, some Jewish
Speaker 1: people are pretty mad about this, except that's a whole
Speaker 1: sticky wicked. But you know, when he was baby Jesus,
Speaker 1: he was a Jew. So some people find this extra
Speaker 1: what are you doing? But for the Catholic pope to
Speaker 1: be kneeling in front of it, somebody's gonna have to help.
Speaker 1: It make sense to me. Yeah, it's super weird. You're
Speaker 1: seeing this more and more.
Speaker 6: I've said, besides this, I've seen it where it's like, hey,
Speaker 6: this is the new Nativity scene and they're like decked out,
Speaker 6: like you said, in like Muslim guard. But it's like
Speaker 6: this is before that was the thing like this.
Speaker 1: And to be clear, within the Muslim faith, Jesus existed. Okay,
Speaker 1: the beef with Jesus as I understand it, and I
Speaker 1: admittedly i'm not I'm not your your go to guy
Speaker 1: Muslim stuff, but the generic understanding is, yeah, Jesus was
Speaker 1: Jesus was a guy. He was a prophet, but he
Speaker 1: wasn't the son of God. And if you want real
Speaker 1: prophecy looked to Muhammad. All right, So but obviously there's
Speaker 1: a disconnect. Though.
Speaker 6: It's all pretty racist because the people making this and
Speaker 6: saying this is how it was, they're pretty much saying, hey,
Speaker 6: it's in this section of the world. Everyone looks like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's and and and and it's I expect
Speaker 1: lunatics to remember with Baby Jesus during Trump, they were
Speaker 1: putting Baby Jesus in cages right to make politiic. Do
Speaker 1: you remember that early Trump where they would have some church,
Speaker 1: some super woke church would have like or a Nativity
Speaker 1: scene with baby Jesus in a cage, right, And it's
Speaker 1: just like, can you not write? Can you not right now?
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know this. He was
Speaker 1: in a cage. He wasn't in a cage, but he
Speaker 1: was executed. Yeah, so drawing the comparisons here's kind of
Speaker 1: a crazy thing. But I expect that. I don't expect
Speaker 1: the pope to kneel in front of it. I don't
Speaker 1: don't expect that at all. So I, you know, forget
Speaker 1: the clickbaity headline. Maybe just look to that and go,
Speaker 1: what the heck's going on here? What are we doing?
Speaker 1: All right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four, let's get rased agic from the weather channel here, dude,
Speaker 1: everything's everything's crazy. So either there's an Iranian mothership launching
Speaker 1: drones or it's aliens. Do you have a preference? Do
Speaker 1: you do you care which one it is?
Speaker 15: Wellgo, I'd rather have the aliens, honestly.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, just yeah, nucas I get it over with. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean we don't know.
Speaker 15: I mean anybody else would probably want to do that, right,
Speaker 15: so we don't know. We could have aliens come down
Speaker 15: and they could be very friendly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, with three boobs. We talked about this, Yes, yes
Speaker 1: we did. Yeah, but over this, Yeah, it's certainly.
Speaker 13: No.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's a good invasion weather, so
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I was gonna say, yeah, certainly getting better. Multiple inches
Speaker 15: rain yesterday, especially to the northwest, and uh they try
Speaker 15: it over three inches about one to two inches locally.
Speaker 15: Now the cold rares come back, and we're in pretty
Speaker 15: good shape next few days as the mild weather will
Speaker 15: quickly return. So cold morning, but as we get into
Speaker 15: the afternoon. Should see plenty of sunshine, a little breezy,
Speaker 15: mid upper forties, tonight in the twenties again, and then
Speaker 15: tomorrow upper forties to low fifties with a little more
Speaker 15: cloud coming in, but a decent Saturday upper forties to
Speaker 15: low fifties, mostly sunny, and then some rain on Sunday
Speaker 15: afternoon and too Sunday nights. So it does look like
Speaker 15: we'll get some rain back and some showers early next week.
Speaker 15: Is the mild the weather returns are back into the
Speaker 15: sixties next week case, so another little cold shot, quick
Speaker 15: kind of jab in the arm. Then it goes away
Speaker 15: cold this morning, probably tomorrow morning, and then the milder
Speaker 15: day is coming with as I said, close to sixty
Speaker 15: by Monday, and that rain chance probably second part of Sunday.
Speaker 1: And I'd be curious to see.
Speaker 15: What you think, Maybe not now, but at one point
Speaker 15: or another Belichick in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Oh, No, I was just gonna ask you, are you
Speaker 1: terrified as a Clemson fan? No, I think I think
Speaker 1: this ends in a spectacular fireball, but maybe some good comforts.
Speaker 15: I just can't wait for the first press conference.
Speaker 1: That's just what I'm saying. This is they are so
Speaker 1: snowflaked over at un see, not all of them, but
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's definitely a very high snowflake environment.
Speaker 1: And Belichie throws sharp elbows.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and I don't know, you might agree, but I
Speaker 15: don't know what he was without Brady, do you agree
Speaker 15: with that or with that?
Speaker 1: On this show is crapping all over Boston, So you know, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the thing.
Speaker 7: Sounds good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my thing. But no, no, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: Because of the high profile nature of the press conference, right,
Speaker 1: there's also opportunities grabbed on the regular by some of
Speaker 1: the protesters there at UNC. If you're a protester at UNC,
Speaker 1: the highest profile thing you can go and glue yourself
Speaker 1: to something in front of is a Bill Belichick presser
Speaker 1: because that's where all the cameras are going to be.
Speaker 1: So if you're one of these climate psychos who wants
Speaker 1: they blue yourself to the Mona Lisa or whatever or
Speaker 1: start screaming or doing the wiggle worm, bill Belichick's presser
Speaker 1: is are gonna do it? You think Bill Belichick's gonna
Speaker 1: put up with that? There's not a chance. Oh so, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's gonna be interesting, so we'll find out,
Speaker 1: all right, Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
Speaker 14: All right.
Speaker 1: Hey, you guys, remember when you weren't allowed to refer
Speaker 1: to Haiti as an s whole and then Trump did,
Speaker 1: and then CNN decided to say s hole like a
Speaker 1: hundred times in one day. I'm just wondering if that's
Speaker 1: allowed now, and I'll explain why. Coming up next, a
Speaker 1: NERD correspondent and a big time climate lawsuit enthusiasts. Judging
Speaker 1: by your Twitter feed, how are you doing this morning?
Speaker 14: Sir?
Speaker 1: Did I not get him on? Hello Steven? All right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And put that on hold there. They got him, they
Speaker 1: got him, he figured something out and then they got him.
Speaker 1: Well well all right, so we'll see if we can
Speaker 1: get that rectified here real quick. Oh anyway, we've got
Speaker 1: that's more audio too. We're gonna be getting into before
Speaker 1: the before the end of the show. So uh, busy, busy,
Speaker 1: busy hour. All right, we're going to go okay, good,
Speaker 1: all right, Steven Kent? Are you there this morning? Sir?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 14: Good morning, casey and nice to be with you.
Speaker 1: Hey, how you doing so all right? I thought they
Speaker 1: got you from I got one of the drones. Got you, dude,
Speaker 1: what do you think is going on there? Yesterday or
Speaker 1: till we have one congressman saying that it's an Iranian
Speaker 1: mother ship, and then the Pentagon spokeswoman she's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's none of those. It's not a foreign adversary, it's
Speaker 1: a So now we're back to aliens. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the heck's going on or is it just one
Speaker 1: of those media frenzies. Where are you at a US?
Speaker 14: Well, if we're talking about lights in the sky, I'm
Speaker 14: always of the mind that this is the mess stick
Speaker 14: technology being piloted and tested out over the American homeland
Speaker 14: by the highest highest levels of government, the deepest, deepest
Speaker 14: of the state that most pilots and even even generals
Speaker 14: don't even know about. So that's that's where I think
Speaker 14: this is headed, and that's why we'll never find out
Speaker 14: what these things truly are.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is that is a very well, now that's
Speaker 1: not true. Maybe one day, very long down the road
Speaker 1: we do. I was just reading yesterday the CIA did
Speaker 1: classified some reports from the Army where they were studying
Speaker 1: reincarnation and astro projection, and apparently they thought it was
Speaker 1: working so like, you know this, this stuff comes out
Speaker 1: of the wash. But I think that you can offer
Speaker 1: a theory. I think it. I think that the idea
Speaker 1: that foreign aversary, well, we know that foreign adversaries literally
Speaker 1: park off in international waters because we do it everywhere, right,
Speaker 1: That's why we have submarines, we got ships. Sometimes we
Speaker 1: roll in a whole flotilla there and uh like look
Speaker 1: at us. And sometimes we do it clandestinely, and and
Speaker 1: this happens. In fact, during the Cold War, I have
Speaker 1: you ever seen a map of how many Russian subs
Speaker 1: and listening posts were right outside of US territories. It's
Speaker 1: it's like I didn't realize I had that any submarines. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's not a new thing. So if you tell
Speaker 1: people that there's a busted Iranian ship, because remember there
Speaker 1: was one day in the eighties where we destroyed half
Speaker 1: of their fleet and we didn't even mean to. They're
Speaker 1: so bad at needy stuff. So but if they got
Speaker 1: one of their busted ships sitting off there spying on
Speaker 1: us or just screwing with people, I wouldn't put that
Speaker 1: past Iran because of the way that they handle things, right,
Speaker 1: they proxied the hoo thies down on the point of
Speaker 1: this Sarrabian peninsula to randomly indiscriminately fired.
Speaker 14: I can't even I can't even imagine the Iranians on
Speaker 14: the water. Do they swim with that thing that they do?
Speaker 1: They have boats, so it's an amazing story. We went
Speaker 1: we were going to go do a proportional response, so
Speaker 1: we were going to sink one of their They didn't
Speaker 1: even have a battleship. They I can't remember what they were.
Speaker 1: We're going to go sink one, but we're gonna do it
Speaker 1: in the way where we're like, hey, we're about to
Speaker 1: sink this. You guys should get off right just to
Speaker 1: do that. And then these these lunatics started busting out
Speaker 1: all of their navy and they would fire like mounted
Speaker 1: fifty cows at US battleships. And at that point it
Speaker 1: jumped from hey be very clean and concise to they've
Speaker 1: engaged you in this way, and it's you know, one
Speaker 1: of our sailors had hit a button once and then
Speaker 1: it would blow it to smitherings. They're very bad at it.
Speaker 14: Cotton.
Speaker 1: But if you think, if you think that there's a
Speaker 1: ship sitting off, you know, out where, guys are willing
Speaker 1: to run to go fishing. You think a bunch of
Speaker 1: good old boys in bass boats with shotguns don't think
Speaker 1: they can solve that problem. And that's the last thing
Speaker 1: you want, obviously, is some guy in his skeeter with
Speaker 1: a twelve gauge. That being said, I don't think they'd
Speaker 1: admit if that was happening there, because it also looks bad.
Speaker 1: Am I being too conspiratorial here?
Speaker 14: I think somewhat casey? I think I think you're you're
Speaker 14: off the off the reservation here.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, fine, whatever, that's fine. So you're
Speaker 1: gonna go with what hobbyists or just mass panic, which
Speaker 1: is a possibility obviously, so.
Speaker 14: I always will choose mass panic.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, very good. Well let's let's get into
Speaker 1: a few other things. Uh, why is Harry Potter now
Speaker 1: the gonna be the new victim here? Or do you
Speaker 1: not see it that way? Where if you don't know,
Speaker 1: they're wanting to recast Snape, who was played by what
Speaker 1: Alan Rickman? Right? That's Alan Rickman's character loved me Smith,
Speaker 1: and I want to recast it with a black actor
Speaker 1: who I don't have a beef with the actor, but
Speaker 1: fans of the source material point out that we know
Speaker 1: what's what was his first name, Servius. We know what
Speaker 1: Servius Snape look like.
Speaker 14: Oh my gosh, it just through.
Speaker 1: The ire of ross in my ear, Severus Snape. So
Speaker 1: we know what he looks like from the book descriptions.
Speaker 1: So what are we doing?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean he has described numerous times as having
Speaker 14: pallides in, being deeply pale, sallow skin, the color of
Speaker 14: sour milk, with greasy black hair. He's pretty much also,
Speaker 14: then at the very end of the book, after he
Speaker 14: is confronting Voldemort, is described as marble white, and then
Speaker 14: you kind of have you know, leftist for visionaries will
Speaker 14: come out and say like, oh, yeah, you know, Snap's
Speaker 14: never really described as white, so you know it's flexible.
Speaker 14: Well that's not true. He is, and that's fine. I
Speaker 14: have nothing against the actor. His name is papau A CD.
Speaker 14: He's a TV actor for the most part who comes
Speaker 14: from the Lazarus Project. He was a murder on the
Speaker 14: Orient Express. But for the most part, no one's ever
Speaker 14: seen this person. My main issue is that he's just
Speaker 14: so young. He's so young, as well as the person
Speaker 14: that they're casting for Hagrid they're talking about bringing in
Speaker 14: Ted Lasso actor Brett Goldstein. You might know Brett gold
Speaker 14: Seeing and Ted Lasso as the cranky soccer coach, the
Speaker 14: one who cusses a lot. The cast is just going
Speaker 14: to be a lot younger. It's going to be like
Speaker 14: a bunch of kids playing Harry Potter dress up. And
Speaker 14: it's very strange.
Speaker 1: And so I got the impression when I was first
Speaker 1: reading about it that the reason was is because it
Speaker 1: takes place earlier on and they need younger actors. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like that's the case.
Speaker 14: No, I mean, they certainly don't. If you want to
Speaker 14: be if you want to be a super picky about
Speaker 14: Harry Potter, you know, Severa Snape is technically thirty years old.
Speaker 14: In the first Harry Potter movie, The Sorcerer's Stone, he
Speaker 14: fell in love with Harry Potter's mother when they were
Speaker 14: twenty years old, and that is when Harry Potter's mother
Speaker 14: was killed by Voldemort, which makes Severa Snape a thirty
Speaker 14: year old man who is younger than me, and he
Speaker 14: already has all these wrinkles and lines and then droopy
Speaker 14: eyes all over his face. So they already cast in
Speaker 14: the in the first movie a guy who was actually
Speaker 14: probably too old to play separate snape, but they did
Speaker 14: it anyways. I do have an issue though, with the
Speaker 14: race spending on these characters, because it is it is
Speaker 14: done in a provocative way. It is meant to have
Speaker 14: people dare say anything about it? You have a problem
Speaker 14: with this? How dare you? And it's just it's inviting
Speaker 14: conflict on a show that is otherwise going to.
Speaker 10: Be pretty exciting.
Speaker 14: People are jazzed about Harry Potter coming back. If you're not,
Speaker 14: you know, one of these sort of like JK Rowling,
Speaker 14: radical haters, But now this is going to really mar
Speaker 14: its return and I'm not excited about that.
Speaker 1: What was the other one? I saw people go, oh,
Speaker 1: they were upset over the new Star Trek movie trailer.
Speaker 1: I can't hember what it's called, But with that one,
Speaker 1: I got the impression that they were saying, this is
Speaker 1: going to be something completely different within the universe. I
Speaker 1: think that that. Now, why would you have a problem
Speaker 1: with that? If they say it's going to be different
Speaker 1: within the universe and they're going to be coming up
Speaker 1: with new characters and it has a different vibe, isn't
Speaker 1: that what you kind of want is some experimenting. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe it's full of woke stuff, but like I find
Speaker 1: that less problematic than established characters in established timelines.
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, you know, we've kind of been in this
Speaker 14: same you know, ballpark with James Bond. There was a
Speaker 14: story recently where former Bond girl from the Daniel Craig films,
Speaker 14: Jimma Arterton, was just talking about the idea of a
Speaker 14: female double O seven and said it would just be like,
Speaker 14: way too outrageous, and it's just better to have female
Speaker 14: action stars doing their own thing rather than stepping on
Speaker 14: the foot of something that is well established and beloved
Speaker 14: by people. And for Star Trek, you you're kind of
Speaker 14: dealing with the same thing. There's no reason that you
Speaker 14: can't just carve out a corner of the universe to
Speaker 14: tell a completely original story that features people who might
Speaker 14: not fit the bill of casting. When Star Trek was
Speaker 14: originally kickstarted decades and decades and decades ago. The same
Speaker 14: goes for Star Wars. People will always comment about how
Speaker 14: the Empire was pretty much all white in the original
Speaker 14: Star Wars films, and so they would tie that to
Speaker 14: fascist regimes and the Nazis and all this stuff. But
Speaker 14: as Star Wars has evolved over the years, you can
Speaker 14: now find women and black officers in the ranks of
Speaker 14: the Empire in Star Wars. In fact, the first order
Speaker 14: in the newest Star Wars films were majority Asian and
Speaker 14: black and less white officers on the board of those ships,
Speaker 14: which sort of cuts against that very message of that
Speaker 14: this is some sort of fascistic Nazi homage in space
Speaker 14: because it's so multi racial, and I think that's sort
Speaker 14: of an interesting blunder for liberals in Hollywood to make
Speaker 14: it undercuts their own ideas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Trevor, Rogue One, all right, So when Rogue
Speaker 1: One came out, like, I don't know how you felt
Speaker 1: about that movie. I like that movie. I liked it
Speaker 1: and fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, But so there's parts of it
Speaker 1: where it needs to hold the storyline. And obviously things
Speaker 1: that happened to Rogue One informed some of the more
Speaker 1: recent Star Wars productions. But and it kept with the
Speaker 1: storyline about how how do the Rebels get the plans right?
Speaker 1: And and so it told a very unique story there.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's stepped on any toes, and I actually.
Speaker 14: There was there was no discussion about recasting the dead
Speaker 14: Peter Cushing, who plays Grand Admiral Tarkin, with a black
Speaker 14: or or Latino actor, just to make a point. They
Speaker 14: did everything they could to make sure that the understanding
Speaker 14: in the audience of this character was was maintained across
Speaker 14: time and space. And you can again make this case
Speaker 14: about severa snape. This is a reboot, a television adaptation
Speaker 14: of Harry Potter. But it just these things destroy act
Speaker 14: audiences from being able to simply enjoy the story that
Speaker 14: they thought that they knew, and people want to feel
Speaker 14: as though they know and are connected to these stories.
Speaker 14: And I'm kind of shocked that this is happening while JK.
Speaker 14: Rowling is still at the helm of Harry Potter and
Speaker 14: she is still in control of this production.
Speaker 10: But it's worth.
Speaker 14: Remembering that even though she is on the opposite end
Speaker 14: of the transgender wars and is sort of hated by
Speaker 14: the far left for that issue, she has always been
Speaker 14: and continues to be, a political liberal, so this probably
Speaker 14: doesn't bother her.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's keep in mind, before we got into trans stuff,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of revisionist stuff that Rally did
Speaker 1: on character sexuality, right where she essentially said, oh, that
Speaker 1: one character of the book, Yeah, he's gay or he is,
Speaker 1: Like so she she already was cool with that. I
Speaker 1: don't know that it was changing as much as it
Speaker 1: was adding storyline to the backgrounds of so many characters,
Speaker 1: so like she was engaging in it, and then she
Speaker 1: just hit a point where she's like, no, we're not
Speaker 1: doing this and then public Enemy number one. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question. Are you a fan of American
Speaker 1: horror story?
Speaker 13: I was?
Speaker 14: I really I watched every season up until the Witch Coven.
Speaker 14: I saw that one and then I felt like it
Speaker 14: kind of jumped the shark, but I enjoyed it for
Speaker 14: a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Future the Doomsday Monker season was very good.
Speaker 1: I like that show. But what was unique about that
Speaker 1: show and very interesting is that you'd have the same
Speaker 1: actors coming back each season, and occasionally there'd be carryover,
Speaker 1: like some of the Witches carry over into other seasons,
Speaker 1: but for the most part, the actors would be completely recast.
Speaker 1: So you had the Haunted House and then why McDermott
Speaker 1: didn't come back, You had most of the actresses who
Speaker 1: are now what do they do with the asylum? Was
Speaker 1: the next one? Right? And then yeah, and then onwards
Speaker 1: and now you got everyone playing all these different characters
Speaker 1: each season. It's a very unique, interesting concept. Why is
Speaker 1: Marvel trying to do it though? And do you think
Speaker 1: it'll be successful? Case Robert Downey Junior will come back,
Speaker 1: probably as Doctor Doom. There's some speculation on the Avengers Doomsday,
Speaker 1: and now reports that Chris Evans will be joining the
Speaker 1: film's expanding cast, but not as Captain America. So my
Speaker 1: question is do you think fans are going to be
Speaker 1: cool with this? And before anyone and we mentioned this yesterday, Yes,
Speaker 1: there is some character shifting that Chris Evans does in
Speaker 1: the recent Deadpool Wolverine. I don't want to spoil it
Speaker 1: for you, but it's more of a cameo. That's more
Speaker 1: of a cameo, right, So if all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: here comes here's Captain America, but he's not Captain America.
Speaker 1: And here's Iron Man but he's not Iron Man. It
Speaker 1: kind of feels like that. But I don't know that
Speaker 1: fans are going to embrace it as much. What do
Speaker 1: you think?
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, you know I do remember, you know Kevin
Speaker 14: or Chris Evans, his first appearance on a Marvel anything
Speaker 14: was two thousand and five, as he was in The
Speaker 14: Fantastic four.
Speaker 1: The Human don't because I don't need people screaming. We
Speaker 1: mentioned that yesterday and then people got mad and said
Speaker 1: that Fox, it's not Marvel.
Speaker 14: So well it was, but that's not my point, Like this,
Speaker 14: it's not the NCU, but the point being, like you know,
Speaker 14: we've kind of seen Chris Evans pop up throughout Marvel
Speaker 14: stories for a long long time. I do think that
Speaker 14: people won't mind Chris Evans being recast in another role
Speaker 14: in the continued MCU under Kevin Feige. I just think
Speaker 14: that general audiences will be confused, and that's kind of
Speaker 14: what I'm always most concerned about. Kind of good to
Speaker 14: pivot back to Star Wars as an example, when The
Speaker 14: Force Awakens came out in twenty fifteen and you had
Speaker 14: this thing called the First Order. I remember distinctly and
Speaker 14: had conversations for years the confusion of dads in the
Speaker 14: audience about like, oh, yes, and this is the Empires.
Speaker 1: It's the Empire.
Speaker 14: They're back, but it's not the Empire and they're not back.
Speaker 14: There's something else, and now you don't understand. And I
Speaker 14: think that people really hate that, and so Chris Evan's
Speaker 14: coming back and Robert Downey Junior coming back. I think
Speaker 14: for the pore fans of the MCU it will be fine,
Speaker 14: and that's enough to carry those movies to box office success,
Speaker 14: but it will gradually alienate people from these stories over time.
Speaker 14: There's no reason to pull these people back.
Speaker 1: No, And I think it's the greatest admission. Okay, we
Speaker 1: got to go to Let me just say this real quick.
Speaker 1: I think it's the best admission that when they had
Speaker 1: that come to Jesus meeting going what happened? Why do
Speaker 1: we make all the money the first time? And what's
Speaker 1: going on? They are leaning hard into the nostalgia. Now
Speaker 1: with this, it's very clear to me, so at least
Speaker 1: maybe they recognize that they got a little off track.
Speaker 1: So we'll see, because I think with the word Avengers
Speaker 1: in the title, will probably do pretty well. All right,
Speaker 1: we got a roll. Probably we got so much weirdness,
Speaker 1: so much weirdness, you know. I mentioned with Steven Kent
Speaker 1: there like this with the CIA with their oh yeah no,
Speaker 1: we and the Army more specifically this report from nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty three that got declassified basically where they were trying
Speaker 1: to do astral projection and reincarnation. And this is why
Speaker 1: I'm bringing it up because I've heard of the astral
Speaker 1: projection stuff. Right, all of these experiments they did with
Speaker 1: well you know, from mk Ultra up to the men
Speaker 1: that stare at goats and that kind of that stuff
Speaker 1: was real, by the way. Obviously the movie took license,
Speaker 1: but that was the thing that happened, and astral projection
Speaker 1: was a big thing because Spye, right, what do you
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to go in there? One of
Speaker 1: my what was the movie where the one character goes
Speaker 1: in and gets like Iran's nuke secrets? Was that that
Speaker 1: was one of the suicide squad, right, like, this is
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that they want. So I thought
Speaker 1: it was weird. But there's also reincarnation, and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to understand how that works for spine unless they think
Speaker 1: they can, I guess, kill you and then you reincarnate,
Speaker 1: but as your enemies and you're still loyal. Like the
Speaker 1: whole thing is weird, but yeah, that's out there. If
Speaker 1: you're like falling down rabbit holes on stuff. Was the
Speaker 1: other us? What was the other one? You were never
Speaker 1: talking because neither of us understand it. It was the
Speaker 1: quantum computer thing, right, for the computers figured out that
Speaker 1: what we're actually yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 6: We're going across this yesterday and they're like, well, the
Speaker 6: quantum computers have proven that the multiverse does exist, right, yeah,
Speaker 6: and that apparently and then it also is it with
Speaker 6: simulation theory rights And I read it, and I read
Speaker 6: it numerous times and I'm like, I don't understand what
Speaker 6: this is saying. Because they were trying to explain it.
Speaker 6: I'm like, so I'll just move on to something different.
Speaker 6: But but you're going to take accept it. Yeah, now
Speaker 6: you get the reincarnation. Well, now reincarnation or astro projection
Speaker 6: that that ties in with. You know, if you're in
Speaker 6: a simulation too, right, you just oh, your character got rebooted.
Speaker 1: It's like you kill it. It's like some some character
Speaker 1: you killed. But every time you go back into the level,
Speaker 1: there it is again. So I don't know, there's all
Speaker 1: sorts of weirdness out there, but it's not limited to
Speaker 1: just the sci fi stuff. If you missed the first
Speaker 1: part of the show, I'm going to do this again
Speaker 1: because holy hell, it's weird. So Tim will his wife.
Speaker 1: There was a video yesterday they got posted to social
Speaker 1: media for everybody. But the story they said was whoopsie,
Speaker 1: we meant to send this to our daughter, Which how
Speaker 1: does that work unless they were gonna tagger on it?
Speaker 1: But is that how you send a video to a
Speaker 1: family member? Ross Do you upload it to social media
Speaker 1: and then try to DM it to him or do
Speaker 1: you just text it to him? Because I feel like
Speaker 1: you just text him a video right or FaceTime or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So I'm really confused. So I don't
Speaker 1: believe them. I think that this video was made to
Speaker 1: recover some of their dignity because he wants what any
Speaker 1: losing politician wants, and it's really the only thing available
Speaker 1: to you. He wants people to become of the thought
Speaker 1: that they made a big mistake. He should have been
Speaker 1: in there as vice president, Kamala should have been in there. Whatever,
Speaker 1: he made a big mistake or they made a big mistake.
Speaker 1: They I just wish they had chosen you, because that's
Speaker 1: the best thing you're going to get after you've been
Speaker 1: handed a loss. Is people nostalgic for you. It can
Speaker 1: kind of be a little save for the soul. So
Speaker 1: I think that's what he's chasing here. The problem is
Speaker 1: whether you believe it was just for the daughter, or
Speaker 1: if you believe it was a scripted or at the
Speaker 1: very least organized, devised plan to go whoopsie, we posted
Speaker 1: this out there. Look how normal we are like all
Speaker 1: the rest of you and your family around Christmas, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, don't use the word normal and families
Speaker 1: around Christmas because people do things a little differently, and
Speaker 1: I think all of us have probably over the years.
Speaker 1: Maybe we went to Christmas at a boyfriend, girlfriend, or
Speaker 1: spouse's home, and they just do things different, and some
Speaker 1: of it's a little weird. It is weird because it's unusual.
Speaker 1: This is not that I would argue this is. I
Speaker 1: don't know what this is. I'm gonna play it for you.
Speaker 1: It's one minute long. And remember it's it's and his
Speaker 1: wife knows how to post videos to social media that
Speaker 1: she shoots. We know this. There's there's so much going
Speaker 1: on here, but it's one minute, and it's purportedly to
Speaker 1: their daughter, who is a grown adult, and that is
Speaker 1: very important. And you tell me what you think.
Speaker 7: Hey, hope, mom and dad here, Hey help her girl.
Speaker 8: Finishing decorating the family tree in the living room or
Speaker 8: in our family room here and it's all of the
Speaker 8: handmade ornaments over the years. So we were thinking of
Speaker 8: you and I just wanted to show you a couple.
Speaker 8: We were cracking up about a couple of these.
Speaker 1: So all right, before before we get into those, that's
Speaker 1: just weird off the bat. Why do you tell your
Speaker 1: adult daughter where the Christmas tree that's always in the
Speaker 1: same place as I think at the rooms backwards, like,
Speaker 1: it's just that's strange. You would just say you're decorating
Speaker 1: the tree because you're going to assume if she lived
Speaker 1: eighteen years in your house and can visually see the tree,
Speaker 1: that she'll know where it is. So this is these
Speaker 1: are all the clues.
Speaker 4: Right you go take a look at this.
Speaker 9: Look at those pretty sparkles you.
Speaker 8: Two thousand and five. Here's children are like snowflakes. Each
Speaker 8: one is unique.
Speaker 9: Right there, you're on a little reindeer at rock Sands house.
Speaker 4: All right, And.
Speaker 1: Uh, here's Gus your brother's cutter off too.
Speaker 9: There he made us that one from basketball when he
Speaker 9: was dunking.
Speaker 8: So anyway, hey, hope we got the final one. You're
Speaker 8: gonna love this toilet paper roll angel you made it?
Speaker 9: Do you see your little hands.
Speaker 4: Here the angel wings. So here we go on the tree,
Speaker 4: not on a real.
Speaker 9: Tree, but on this family tree.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 9: Dad got it on?
Speaker 10: There?
Speaker 9: Joy to the world.
Speaker 4: All right, there you go.
Speaker 8: I know you're missing your Griswold family. Decorate your house
Speaker 8: for Christmas. We're thinking of you, love your hope.
Speaker 4: Bye.
Speaker 1: And then the Grizzwold reference sounds forced. So do you
Speaker 1: like that's clearly that that clearly looks like that was
Speaker 1: intended for everybody, and they thought it was normal. And
Speaker 1: I saw people like, oh, it's like the ornaments. No,
Speaker 1: the ornaments are not abnormal. That's not abnormal. In fact,
Speaker 1: I think my sister made one of those tries.
Speaker 6: I mean, what's abnormal about it is the whole way
Speaker 6: ron Like when you send a video to a family member.
Speaker 6: It's not like, Hi, Hope, it's me your dad, and
Speaker 6: here's your mom, and here's the Christmas tree in the
Speaker 6: living room and here's some ornaments that you've maybe never
Speaker 6: seen before that we're gonna put on the tree. The
Speaker 6: whole presentation is weird. Like if I were to send
Speaker 6: you a video, it wouldn't be like that, right, It
Speaker 6: wouldn't be like, hey, Casey it's me Ross, you're coworker
Speaker 6: of like what twelve thirteen years are I'm here studio.
Speaker 6: I'm here in my studio. This is where I do
Speaker 6: the show. And they're talking. If she's a grown adult,
Speaker 6: I could understand maybe this video if the kid was
Speaker 6: three or four, it sounds like they're talking to.
Speaker 1: A child in the video. Yeah it does.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it just it's like everything else that you saw
Speaker 6: in this campaign, it's fake, it's phony, it's produced. It's
Speaker 6: like when you saw him working on the car or
Speaker 6: taking the phone calls from Kamala Harris right, or the
Speaker 6: gutters thing. Yes, so weird man, So like what clearly.
Speaker 1: Looks like an effort designed to show that you're not
Speaker 1: weird is like the cherry on the weird cake, which
Speaker 1: was the entire campaign. I went cake because that's how
Speaker 1: he would say it, and not pie. So anyway, what.
Speaker 6: You just summed up the entire campaign?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why it was projection from day one or like, ah,
Speaker 1: like advance, he's so weird, is he?
Speaker 2: For?
Speaker 1: For a guy's who's done everything he's done and is
Speaker 1: now going to be vice president, he's arguably one of
Speaker 1: the least weird people. I've seen in that and I
Speaker 1: expect weird people to fill that slot.
Speaker 6: If my sister sent me a video similar to that
Speaker 6: one with my brother in law and with my nieces
Speaker 6: and my nephews and it was it was like that,
Speaker 6: I would I would call her back and be like,
Speaker 6: is everything okay? Yeah, no, you'd call you call another
Speaker 6: family member check on her. We do a welfare check
Speaker 6: on Karen or whatever.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 6: Think about how many videos that you've sent before in
Speaker 6: the past, or I know I've sent in the past
Speaker 6: to family members.
Speaker 1: They're not like that. They're casual there, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, They're yeah, and my mom, I get the
Speaker 1: parents that the thing where you're trying to kind of
Speaker 1: embarrass because I mentioned that. My mom thought it was
Speaker 1: hilarious because she had like the descending getting older photo
Speaker 1: thing where there's like, you know, ten slots per frame,
Speaker 1: and then she had each of the kids over the
Speaker 1: years and one of the first photo is me and
Speaker 1: a cowboy had buck naked. Write what I learned to
Speaker 1: walk running around? Right?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 6: And if somebody already send you that video, right, if
Speaker 6: it was a family member, to be like, you know,
Speaker 6: you see the person, the frame whatever, and be like, hey, dude,
Speaker 6: check it out. I found this old fold.
Speaker 1: Do you remember this?
Speaker 14: Haha?
Speaker 4: Yah?
Speaker 6: And it would be really quick. It wouldn't be this
Speaker 6: big presentation.
Speaker 1: No, that was to have for ornaments you made and
Speaker 1: have been there, which again that's the least weird part
Speaker 1: of this too. Kids make ornaments and they and they
Speaker 1: continue to go on the tree. Uh My mom had
Speaker 1: do you know remember the hands redipped the baby's hand,
Speaker 1: mom's hand and plaster, she had those made into this
Speaker 1: like Christmas display thing. It didn't sit on the tree,
Speaker 1: but it sat on the mantles. You were so proud
Speaker 1: of that thing. But it was you know, it's very personal,
Speaker 1: clear thing. At no point since the when I was
Speaker 1: old enough to go, what is this thing? And she
Speaker 1: told me right from then on, did she ever have
Speaker 1: to explain to me what it.
Speaker 6: Is unless you were, like you some tragic accident, you
Speaker 6: were in a coma and you woke up and you
Speaker 6: have amnesia and they're trying to explain to you what
Speaker 6: everything is. That's how the video comes across.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's pretty pretty cringey stuff, man, absolutely, But
Speaker 1: also what it was then he had Joe Biden yesterday
Speaker 1: did you hear Joe Biden yesterday? Like this is the
Speaker 1: other reason too, because Vance has been there, Dvance, excuse me,
Speaker 1: A wall's been kind of thrown to the wolves. And
Speaker 1: I think his wife didn't like Everyone run around thinking
Speaker 1: she's weird. But it's because she's weird and so is he,
Speaker 1: and and they don't like that. And and now you
Speaker 1: got the Bidens are who are punching down on the Harrises.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't tell me this isn't what she means.
Speaker 16: So I hope that you all feel that sense of
Speaker 16: you know, peace and light, and that uh, just for
Speaker 16: a moment when you leave here today, that you feel,
Speaker 16: I don't know, a little a sense of joy, because
Speaker 16: I think we all need like this, you know, we
Speaker 16: all need to feel joy now during this time of
Speaker 16: the season, during just during this time. So anyway, okay,
Speaker 16: now I'll start.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that, don't read into it, she says, everyone knows.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and I don't even mean this in a
Speaker 1: fully negative way. Jill Biden is a bee on wheels, man,
Speaker 1: like she'll cut you, so she'll cut you. She's clearly
Speaker 1: mocking Harris. There, right, we agree on this one. Hundred
Speaker 1: per second. I'm I'm on Ross's theory that she voted
Speaker 1: for Trump. Now I'm in. They convinced me, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? We need joy? And she was saying
Speaker 1: in the weird whimsical way that Harris would say it too.
Speaker 6: Dude, she's not going to vote for the person that
Speaker 6: stabbed her husband in the back.
Speaker 1: No, she's clearly clearly mocking her. And you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm here for it, all right, a forty six, not
Speaker 1: to be mocked. Whether God, no, please don't less you know,
Speaker 1: please don't cowboys hire Bill Belichick or something. But yeah, I.
Speaker 15: Didn't want them. So I'm just ready for the show,
Speaker 15: which led me to a whole bunch of other things.
Speaker 15: I hate this time of year because now anyway, I
Speaker 15: started booking things, and I'm not going to book anything
Speaker 15: in Chapel Hill yet because Clemson will play there.
Speaker 1: If you come to do some sort of Chapel Hill visit,
Speaker 1: pilgrimage or anything like that, maybe maybe Clemson, then we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to do something showy show thing too. Absolutely
Speaker 1: a little meet and greet, Okay, definitely that I need
Speaker 1: you to do. Well thirty seconds because I went.
Speaker 15: Oh, of course, of course, we'll go from the sixties
Speaker 15: today to maybe fifty the average highs or a low
Speaker 15: to mid fifties. That probably closer to normal the next
Speaker 15: few days with no rain. I've been up for forties today.
Speaker 15: It's a little chili. We're back close to fifty tomorrow
Speaker 15: and Saturday, a lot of sun maybe some tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 15: The next chance of rain in here Sunday afternoon, and
Speaker 15: it will be rain getting into that time of here.
Speaker 15: We're got to watch these systems coming in and I
Speaker 15: do think, Casey, we get back into the sixties next week.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll take it. Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: We'll come back with Jock bellingcher next. Hang on now,
Speaker 1: good morning, Casey.
Speaker 17: There was a bigger than expected increased last month in
Speaker 17: the overall rate of wholesale inflation. The Producer Price Index
Speaker 17: was up four tenths percent in November, mostly though we're
Speaker 17: hearing about, because of egg prices. With food and energy excluded,
Speaker 17: the core PPI was up two tenths percent. That was
Speaker 17: right in line with forecasts. There was a surprise increase
Speaker 17: last week and the number of new claims for unemployment benefits.
Speaker 17: The labor department counted two hundred and forty two thousand
Speaker 17: first time applications. That was seventeen thousand more than.
Speaker 1: The prior week.
Speaker 17: Stock market futures are pointing lower times. Person of the Year,
Speaker 17: mister Donald Trump, will be ringing the opening bell on
Speaker 17: the big board this morning. Perspective, home buyers are apparently
Speaker 17: paying close attention to mortgage infestrates. Redfin reports, home tours,
Speaker 17: mortgage applications, and pending sales are all rising as rates
Speaker 17: on home loans tick lower. The richer getting richer. Elon
Speaker 17: Musk is now worth more than four hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 17: He's the first person to reach that milestone, and while
Speaker 17: Musk is the world's richest individual, the world's richest family,
Speaker 17: Walmart's Walton family is about halfway to a trillion dollar
Speaker 17: fortune thanks to the performance of Walmart stock. As for
Speaker 17: the rest of US, Casey Bamboo Hr says forty percent
Speaker 17: of salaried workers have not perceived a raise this year,
Speaker 17: and for the sixty percent who did get a salary bump,
Speaker 17: the raise was smaller than the one they got last year.
Speaker 1: Casey, well, at least they got one. Hey, can you
Speaker 1: give me a favorite can you shoot one of these
Speaker 1: drones down so we can figure out what's up?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish somebody would do that.
Speaker 1: It's been that I put it on you. Come on, man, Jacks.
Speaker 1: One is misery, like you want to know if it's
Speaker 1: an Iranian mothership or aliens. Very curious.
Speaker 17: So a lot of people are I live in New Jersey,
Speaker 17: so let's sake this topic.
Speaker 1: Gay Well, I tasked you the only New Jersey person
Speaker 1: I know, So all right.
Speaker 4: Get on it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, take care. They got Jeff Bellinger
Speaker 1: Bloomberg News to sitting on his roof with a gat
Speaker 1: later that it'd be great. By the way, And if you
Speaker 1: live in New Jersey in the the greater New York area,
Speaker 1: you probably need something to distract you. I was looking
Speaker 1: at the NFL lines trying to figure out because you know,
Speaker 1: you got Thursday night. Then I just kind of feel
