Speaker 1: What's happening out in California, man, Because somehow that got
Speaker 1: even much more incredibly worse, sadly, uh than when we
Speaker 1: were done with the show yesterday. I believe the the
Speaker 1: death hole there's so let's try to do it straight.
Speaker 1: It said, well he gets the water there we go,
Speaker 1: all right, So I believe the death toll is five now, uh,
Speaker 1: probably it's going to be higher. Some of the visuals,
Speaker 1: you know. One of one of the things that is
Speaker 1: great but also is able, I want to say, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be used for bad but used to
Speaker 1: make a point and really drive a point home, is
Speaker 1: is the ability to side by side these pictures of
Speaker 1: devastation with like Google Earth street View photos and and
Speaker 1: and see what these neighborhoods, these business districts, the It's
Speaker 1: crazy because the Pacific Palisades Mall, which somehow survived, is
Speaker 1: really famous. The Pacific Palisades Mall. If you go on
Speaker 1: like IMDb and you look at like where it's a
Speaker 1: filming location for stuff, it's everywhere. I think they used
Speaker 1: they I think they used the Palisades Mall for Back
Speaker 1: to the Future too, when they're out there in the
Speaker 1: parking lot. But it's just and and it's just like
Speaker 1: the fire just went around it. And I've been to
Speaker 1: the Palisades Mall. I you know, it's one of those
Speaker 1: things where when I went out there, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: got to go to these different spots for movies and stuff.
Speaker 1: And so I did do the little nerdy tourism thing
Speaker 1: just driving around La uh, you know, being a kid
Speaker 1: from Lowman, it was pretty fascinating. And it's all gone. Man,
Speaker 1: it's all gone. And again it's easy to say, well,
Speaker 1: it's California. I don't get me wrong. From a leadership perspective,
Speaker 1: We're going to do a bunch of that today. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do a bunch of that today because it's it's
Speaker 1: even more atrocious than when we last left it. They
Speaker 1: were trying to ask questions of the mayor, who's over
Speaker 1: in Ghana. Remember she's over in Ghana for the new
Speaker 1: president's getting inaugurated. She's doing some like going back to
Speaker 1: does she run around there like a middle aged white
Speaker 1: dude from Boston landing in Dublin for the first time, right,
Speaker 1: going to one of those ancestry centers. I'm home, which
Speaker 1: is fine, go ahead and do that. Unfortunately, you're the
Speaker 1: mayor of a city that's on fire right now and
Speaker 1: being being devastated, and there's a lot of problems, and
Speaker 1: so reporters obviously are there because you have the guiness
Speaker 1: is a guines Ghani's I don't know how you say
Speaker 1: it in mass but the new president of Ghana. So
Speaker 1: there's reporters over there and they're trying to ask her
Speaker 1: about it, and she's standing there, not speaking, just stoneface,
Speaker 1: staring at him, clearly not willing to answer questions about
Speaker 1: what's going on over there. Now she did answer some,
Speaker 1: but not in a random environment, and you know, little
Speaker 1: nuggets start coming out, like how she diverted seventeen sixteen
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars that literally was the money
Speaker 1: for fire preparation and for the fire department, but specifically
Speaker 1: allocated for the maintenance side of it, which is things
Speaker 1: like making sure the hydrants have enough water source and
Speaker 1: are in proper working order. She diverted that to pay
Speaker 1: for all of the illegal immigrant stuff. And obviously she's
Speaker 1: allocated a lot more money, but that was directly pulled
Speaker 1: months ago from the LA Fire Department's budget. So you
Speaker 1: have that, you have Newsom who's now said, Wow, it's
Speaker 1: the local people. You have the local media in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles who were watching their own city burn again but
Speaker 1: now in a much more insane and draving and fashion,
Speaker 1: who are literally there running running interference for people who
Speaker 1: might be critical. Rick Caruso was the runner up, if
Speaker 1: you will, for the mayor of Los Angeles. And he's
Speaker 1: a big developer. He's a billionaire. He's a super rich guy.
Speaker 1: But he's a guy who obviously has some pretty good
Speaker 1: management skills. He's not some conservative, by the way, get
Speaker 1: that out of your head. But he's also not a
Speaker 1: lunatic at least from what I've seen of him. Like Bass,
Speaker 1: he would be kind of a be a California moderate
Speaker 1: if you will. And and so he's getting a lot
Speaker 1: of time because he talked about this stuff. He talked
Speaker 1: about it during the campaign. He talked about how yeah,
Speaker 1: he talked about how poorly managed things are, and he
Speaker 1: wanted to bring his business acuum and his management skills, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, being a developer in California has got
Speaker 1: to be a bureaucrat nightmare of all nightmares. And you
Speaker 1: better have pretty good management style if you want to
Speaker 1: get stuff done and be profitable, and I want you
Speaker 1: to listen to this. So you have this anchor there
Speaker 1: from is it KLA, well anyway, one of the local ones,
Speaker 1: and he's given a little report and he is playing
Speaker 1: audio from Caruso being interviewed by one of their reporters,
Speaker 1: and Caruso makes a statement that they're out of water.
Speaker 1: You know the thing that yesterday while we were still
Speaker 1: on the air, there were already reports coming out of
Speaker 1: So Caruso says that it's part of the interview, and
Speaker 1: the anchor at KTLA decides he's going to go ahead
Speaker 1: and fact check the dude live on the air, and
Speaker 1: then goes to a reporter who's literally standing there in Palisades,
Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades, And I just want you to hear this
Speaker 1: whole thing because it takes a team. Okay, it takes
Speaker 1: a team. And well here we go, all right, So
Speaker 1: check this out.
Speaker 2: Form rate eller, excuse me? Former LA mayoral candidate and
Speaker 2: real estate developer Rick Caruso, criticizing the city's response to
Speaker 2: the winstorm and fires, He says officials should.
Speaker 1: Have been Oh, by the way, you have to let
Speaker 1: me and you have to know this. The talking points
Speaker 1: are out and I heard them implement it almost immediately
Speaker 1: on CNN and others. The fire is from climate change.
Speaker 1: The scale of it is beyond anything that anyone could
Speaker 1: have imagined. They're essentially trying to western North Carolina. The thing,
Speaker 1: you know, like the people of Asheville should have expected
Speaker 1: to be under twenty feet of water. No Californians expect
Speaker 1: that when fire breaks out, it's going to be a problem,
Speaker 1: especially with San Ana wins this time of the year,
Speaker 1: so the time when it's the driest of the time,
Speaker 1: when it's the windiest. So this is not like western
Speaker 1: North Carolina. But but that is it. None None of
Speaker 1: the people in charge, they couldn't have they couldn't have
Speaker 1: fathomed this. They hold no responsibility. It's climate change. There's
Speaker 1: nothing we could do, everyone's evil whatever. So those are
Speaker 1: the talking points absolving them of responsibility. So that's what
Speaker 1: this anchor is going to go ahead and try to do.
Speaker 2: Get more prepared.
Speaker 3: The real issue to me is twofold. We've had decades
Speaker 3: to go remove the brush in these hills that spread
Speaker 3: so quickly. And the second is you've got to have water.
Speaker 3: And my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in
Speaker 3: time and in a timely manner to keep the hydrants gone.
Speaker 3: So that's a failure, whether I'm DWP's part or another
Speaker 3: city agency. But this is basic stuff. This isn't high
Speaker 3: science there, and it's all about leadership and management that
Speaker 3: we're seeing a failure of and all of these residents
Speaker 3: are paying the ultimate price for that.
Speaker 2: Despite what you have heard from Caruso, no firefighters have
Speaker 2: told us that they are running out of water.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So which is weird because like me
Speaker 1: doing a radio show on the other side of the country,
Speaker 1: like I was already seeing these reports well before you
Speaker 1: talk to Caruso. So that's weird that I would know. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's why do we throw to your reporters standing they're
Speaker 1: in the middle of what used to be I don't
Speaker 1: know somebody's home, and let's go.
Speaker 3: Out to Gigi Gracie.
Speaker 4: She is live in Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 1: I know your signal's not the best, but Gigi, what
Speaker 1: can you tell us?
Speaker 4: Well, firefighters have told me they have no water on
Speaker 4: this block, and you may be able to make out
Speaker 4: the emberstorm that we're in.
Speaker 5: The middle of right now.
Speaker 1: This house going to be a total loss.
Speaker 5: They have no water to put on this fire.
Speaker 1: They are standing by because.
Speaker 6: They're trying to stave the home that is.
Speaker 1: Next to it. Absolute clown show, Absolute clown show. Man.
Speaker 1: You fact check, you don't know what the hell you're
Speaker 1: talking about, and then your own reporter fact checks you
Speaker 1: within five seconds. Stand you know why because right because
Speaker 1: she's because she's standing in the middle. It's undeniable what's
Speaker 1: going on. She's watching it, and you're sitting there at
Speaker 1: your anchor desk. You're a nice little cushy gig and
Speaker 1: you're completely unplugged. And this is the same network whose
Speaker 1: reporter didn't know who Steve Gutenberg is. I just can't
Speaker 1: even with these people. And when that's not going on,
Speaker 1: they're interviewing people on the street. And there's a lot,
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting cats in California. Arguably California should
Speaker 1: arrival Florida for just the sheer, weirdness and lunacy that's
Speaker 1: out there. And I don't know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: some of these people are screwing with the reporters or
Speaker 1: what's going Listen to this, this is an interesting theory.
Speaker 1: All right, you're ready, let's test this theory.
Speaker 7: Yes, I can hear you.
Speaker 3: So the family with a with a poor little girl who.
Speaker 1: Is far opening right now walked about, why is there
Speaker 1: a fire opening right now?
Speaker 7: There are multiple fires that are taking place.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm youthful.
Speaker 5: You're supposed to know.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know how it started.
Speaker 1: We don't know how it started. There, you know, all
Speaker 1: the all the all the gay people in la.
Speaker 3: Okay, I got the unacceptable.
Speaker 1: What what kind of theory is that? Okay, let me
Speaker 1: let me tell Ross. Would you do me a favorite?
Speaker 1: Would you uh, We're gonna test this theory. Would you
Speaker 1: look to see if San Francisco looks like Chicago late
Speaker 1: October eighteen seventy one. All right, Ross is gonna check
Speaker 1: to see if it looks like the great Chicago fire
Speaker 1: but in sand because like under that theory, let me
Speaker 1: just have to be a mule log. Let me check. No,
Speaker 1: it's fine, Well it's not fine. Let's just be honest.
Speaker 1: San Francisco's not fine, I mean relatively right, right. It's
Speaker 1: the same drug dead that when we last left it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I don't know about that theory, sir. I don't
Speaker 1: know that probably is probably is gonna be the leading
Speaker 1: cause there. But okay, all right, so yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: just wild times out there.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 1: We got some more stories surrounding that. Also coming up
Speaker 1: on the show, we will be reunited with our official
Speaker 1: NERD correspondent, Stevid Kent. He'll join us. That'll be in
Speaker 1: the third hour. We got Superman stuff to talk about,
Speaker 1: Batman stuff to talk about. In fact, I'll tell I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that the Batman story isn't advanced because's just
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. Let's see, I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on over the Capitol. All the crazies are coming out there,
Speaker 1: so we'll check in on that and uh, well, lots
Speaker 1: to get to. I don't believe people are giving me
Speaker 1: the proper way to say gunese peep. I think it's gnes.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the thing you say. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: not falling for that six ' nineteen Hang on with
Speaker 1: the David Muir thing. As they pushed back, they said, well, no,
Speaker 1: the reason he had an all clothes pinned like that
Speaker 1: is so that the jacket didn't flat roun in the wind,
Speaker 1: which is bs because one you can accomplish that without
Speaker 1: showing a six pack off through a jacket. Okay, look,
Speaker 1: it's it can be done. I'm able to hide my
Speaker 1: six pack every day. Ross you ever see me wearing
Speaker 1: something so tight there's a six pack showing through No,
Speaker 1: So it can be done, David Muir. Secondly, none of
Speaker 1: the other reporters did that. They're wearing the same jacket
Speaker 1: you are. Uh. And Thirdly, where you're standing to anchor
Speaker 1: your show, right, you're not just doing a one off hit.
Speaker 1: You are outside kind of, But if you've ever seen
Speaker 1: how they set these things up, there is a ton
Speaker 1: of those light reflective materials. I promise you there is
Speaker 1: a There is probably redirecting of wind because the air
Speaker 1: is so bad where he's standing. And three, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I necessarily believe he's fully outside and that's
Speaker 1: not a screen behind him, But even if he is outside,
Speaker 1: they have because the wind interferes with the audio and
Speaker 1: the cables and the everything that's going on, the ability
Speaker 1: to do an anchored show there. His hair's not moving.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: Obviously he puts a lot of product in there, but
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that they have attempted to mitigate wind, smoke,
Speaker 1: and sound for obvious reasons for broadcast purposes. So it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean your jacket needs to be pinned. You just
Speaker 1: look like a douche. Okay, you get our Douche of
Speaker 1: the Day award. Congratulations, congratulations. So dude, some of these
Speaker 1: anchors are absolutely puppets, just puppets, man, And it's just
Speaker 1: like they're not even people. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: news anchors, and I know quite a few of that
Speaker 1: are not like that, but some of them are just
Speaker 1: there's a reason anchorman is a parody worked, Okay, and
Speaker 1: that's that's the vibes people are getting there. So now
Speaker 1: I'm not not buying that. Excuse, get out of here
Speaker 1: with that. All right, Let's check on just a couple
Speaker 1: other things real quick, shall we. Okay, very good. So again,
Speaker 1: prognosticating and predicting that this thing was under the right
Speaker 1: conditions going to turn into what we've seen here was
Speaker 1: was not difficult, but was quite the political football. I
Speaker 1: saw a bunch of people yesterday were running around talking
Speaker 1: about Trump going to not well, I'm playing the Rogan
Speaker 1: thing here in just a moment, because they talked about
Speaker 1: this when he was on Rogan prior to the election.
Speaker 1: But do you remember when Trump was talking about raking
Speaker 1: for us and they and and rather than to look
Speaker 1: up what that term meant, which I immediately knew what
Speaker 1: it meant, all right, and I'm sure some of you
Speaker 1: did as well. It's not just somebody going through with
Speaker 1: the rake, but sometimes it is. But really it's it's
Speaker 1: getting the dry, burnable brush. They're like, when I grew up,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to log for fence posts, you could
Speaker 1: go to near burn areas or burn areas, so burn
Speaker 1: areas where they didn't they didn't take out the tree necessarily,
Speaker 1: or areas where there's a lot of underbrush. They would
Speaker 1: incentivize those to where bee where the logging permits are
Speaker 1: because inevitably you're also clearing down trees because you don't
Speaker 1: have to cut them at that point, right, and you're
Speaker 1: going for fence posts. So not only do they get
Speaker 1: like it's like the permit was ten dollars a day
Speaker 1: or something, right, and we could make a lot of
Speaker 1: money busting our butt for a day. It was grueling work,
Speaker 1: but it was a good way when I was a
Speaker 1: teenager where we could make some quick cash. Right, And
Speaker 1: you go through and you do that and it's necessary,
Speaker 1: and where it's not and where you have a lot
Speaker 1: of downtimber from windstorms. The Forest Service goes in there
Speaker 1: and clears it. That's what they're talking about. And they
Speaker 1: were running this report because he said he spoke about
Speaker 1: it with the President of Finland or the Prime Minister
Speaker 1: of Finland, whatever they have over there, and somebody asked
Speaker 1: the President of Finley. He said, no, we didn't talk
Speaker 1: about that. But the thing was they did, but the
Speaker 1: way they asked the question. And we know this because
Speaker 1: they taped them talking about it, and so that story
Speaker 1: with the media turned out to be a lie. And
Speaker 1: now years later people are bringing the damn thing up again,
Speaker 1: and it's like, why are you fighting this. This is
Speaker 1: where a lot of you live, Like this shouldn't be
Speaker 1: a partisan thing. This should be an incompetence thing, and
Speaker 1: you should be on board with this, and you should
Speaker 1: understand what they talk about doing that, but the environmental
Speaker 1: lunatics don't want you.
Speaker 5: To do that.
Speaker 1: They also basically, you know, the newsome was talking about
Speaker 1: how proud he was for removing this big damn up
Speaker 1: in northern California so the diversity smelt or whatever didn't
Speaker 1: go extinct, and it devastated the ability to refill other
Speaker 1: reservoirs up there. They took a whole reservoir full of water,
Speaker 1: pull the dam up, and let it all flow out
Speaker 1: to the Pacific. Absolute lunatics, man, And you're running around
Speaker 1: with a de bank story. That was a gotcha Trump
Speaker 1: story from you know, six years ago or whatever, rather
Speaker 1: than going, holy crap, everything I know is on fire?
Speaker 1: Why is everything I know on fire? Just so you
Speaker 1: can get Trump again?
Speaker 6: They said we have no water. I said, do you
Speaker 6: have a drought.
Speaker 1: No, we don't have a drought.
Speaker 6: I said, why didn't he have no water?
Speaker 1: Because remember this is months ago he said this.
Speaker 6: They said we have no water. I said, do you
Speaker 6: have a drought. No, we don't have a drought. I said,
Speaker 6: why didn't he have no water?
Speaker 1: Because he's talking about farm Central Valley.
Speaker 6: It's got a natural flow from Canada all the way
Speaker 6: up north, more water than they could have use. And
Speaker 6: in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water
Speaker 6: up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and
Speaker 6: millions of gallons of water gets poured. I could have
Speaker 6: water for all of that land, water for your forests.
Speaker 6: You know your forests are dry as a bone.
Speaker 1: Okay, dangerous That water could be routed.
Speaker 6: You know, you could have everything, not only dangerous. Billions
Speaker 6: of dollars a year they spend on forests farret and
Speaker 6: you know, there's a case with the environment. They're not
Speaker 6: allowed to rake their forest because you're not allowed to
Speaker 6: touch it. And all they have to do is clean
Speaker 6: their forest, meaning rake it up, get rid of the leaves,
Speaker 6: get rid of you know, leaves that are sitting there
Speaker 6: for five years. And they'll certainly get rid of the
Speaker 6: dead fall and get rid of the trees that are
Speaker 6: falling at them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is this is forest management, one
Speaker 1: on one stuff. And what he was talking about is
Speaker 1: he was talking about when he visited California. He went
Speaker 1: with a bunch of farmers. They're in the San Joaquin
Speaker 1: Valley and and one of the interior valleys, I can't
Speaker 1: remember which one he mentioned, the other side of Fresno there,
Speaker 1: whatever that's called. And he was he was taken aback
Speaker 1: because they have If you drive through there and you
Speaker 1: come out of the desert before you kind of drop
Speaker 1: into Los Angeles, there's a ton of agriculture. The bread
Speaker 1: basket of America is what they love calling the central
Speaker 1: Valley the San Joaquin Valley there, and in many parts
Speaker 1: that is the case. But there's a lot of it
Speaker 1: that clearly has been tilled and planted before that's unutilized.
Speaker 1: And he's talking, and he was talking about that sharp
Speaker 1: contrast where it's what should be fertile soiled, nothing's being
Speaker 1: planted in it. And then all of a sudden there's
Speaker 1: a very small portion of the owned property where they
Speaker 1: actually do agricultural work, and that's because they only can
Speaker 1: have so much water. California. Also, there's a massive thing
Speaker 1: that with a couple big agricultural operations, the almond people.
Speaker 1: There's a family that's like the Almond Barns, and they
Speaker 1: were so up in local government that they have so
Speaker 1: much water rights that they've accumulated they hold on and
Speaker 1: then they had like they then sell it at like
Speaker 1: panic prices to people, right, So like they're making money
Speaker 1: off the almonds, but they're making a crap ton of
Speaker 1: money off the public water that they've somehow acquired through
Speaker 1: sweetheart deals that they sell back to people who are
Speaker 1: desperate because the government doesn't have any more water to
Speaker 1: sell them. Oh yeah, it's I can't remember the family.
Speaker 1: It's a whole it's like a constant thing out there
Speaker 1: with this argument, and they wanted to but it's death
Speaker 1: by a thousand cuts. And even if you go look,
Speaker 1: it's the greedy almond grower family, which is that they're
Speaker 1: super super rich a little bit, but how do they
Speaker 1: get those deals because you and your cohorts, you elected officials,
Speaker 1: allowed it to happen. You allowed it to happen while
Speaker 1: you screwed everybody else over because they had a better thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the stuff that you hate about government,
Speaker 1: just under a microscope at this point, and you're able
Speaker 1: to stare right at it. And yet nobody. Everyone's just gonna, oh,
Speaker 1: it's climate change and and you know, Trump supporters or
Speaker 1: what I mean, whoever you're blaming. It's incredibly sad. I
Speaker 1: was able to. I talked yesterday to my family members
Speaker 1: that live in California. They're thankfully not near they're north
Speaker 1: of the big Malibu fire there, but well we were
Speaker 1: just talking about and and somehow my cousin said, it's
Speaker 1: it's far worse than when I was there for fires.
Speaker 1: He's just like he goes, you know, you have no
Speaker 1: idea how bad it's gotten. And he was give me
Speaker 1: some descriptions and some of the regulations and stuff, and
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. It's like, and here's the problem. If
Speaker 1: you want to do everything purely the environmental way, right,
Speaker 1: and you want to make it look as though the
Speaker 1: land is untouched, then you're going to have to excommunicate
Speaker 1: a bunch of residents. You simply cannot have the population
Speaker 1: density that you have in these areas. If you're going
Speaker 1: to want to leave the land untouched, you can't do it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. And even over in the European Union,
Speaker 1: where you know, arguably they might even be crazier on
Speaker 1: some of this stuff, they themselves realize that there is,
Speaker 1: you know, the whole the Netherlands, the whole of the
Speaker 1: the hole where the main cities portions are, and the
Speaker 1: expansion in the Netherlands is all man made. It is.
Speaker 1: It is one of the greatest examples of being able
Speaker 1: to control water for your advantage that the world has
Speaker 1: ever seen. It's really impressive. There's a name for the
Speaker 1: project and I can't remember what it is. But when
Speaker 1: you look at what they were able to accomplish over there,
Speaker 1: and they're not putting up with this stuff, and they
Speaker 1: got brackish water behind them in ocean water on the
Speaker 1: other side, and somehow they make it work. California has
Speaker 1: a mountain range that produces the one of the largest
Speaker 1: quantities of runoff in the northern hemisphere, and they still
Speaker 1: can't figure this out. Nope, I just got to go
Speaker 1: ahead and make fun of, make fun of trump Man.
Speaker 1: What is the situation with water?
Speaker 4: Obviously in the palisage ran out last night and the
Speaker 4: hybrants I firmed the firefighter on this block they left
Speaker 4: because there was no water in the hybrandt here.
Speaker 1: The local boats are trying to figure that out.
Speaker 7: I mean, just when you have a system, it's not
Speaker 7: dissimilar to what we've seen in other extraordinarily large scale fires,
Speaker 7: whether it be pipe electricity or whether it just be
Speaker 7: the complete overwhelm of the system. I mean, those hydrants
Speaker 7: are typical for two or three fires, maybe one fire.
Speaker 7: You have something at this scale. But again that's going
Speaker 7: to be determined by the local.
Speaker 1: Right, right, But the locals the lake to the extent
Speaker 1: that is within their boundaries, can only control the water
Speaker 1: that's within their boundaries. Okay, most of these reservoirs do
Speaker 1: not sit within these cities like I told you is
Speaker 1: Santa Barbara. The reservoir that feeds that is a reservoir
Speaker 1: called Kachuma, which is a lake north of there in
Speaker 1: the sanny Neez Valle, and it is way outside the
Speaker 1: bounds of the city of Santa Barbara. So they are
Speaker 1: beholden to these to the state at that point for
Speaker 1: how much water they can use. I've read many, many,
Speaker 1: many stories where it's the city arguing with the state
Speaker 1: about how much water they can draw off Kachuma. And
Speaker 1: so Newsome pretending like he's got no culpability here is
Speaker 1: just completely on brand base. We're in the public safety face.
Speaker 1: I hite to even ask this question, but the President
Speaker 1: electros tous Anderson Cooper, by the way, and I hate
Speaker 1: how he words this pace.
Speaker 3: We're in the.
Speaker 1: Public safety face.
Speaker 4: I hate to even ask this question, but the president
Speaker 4: electros to attack you, blame you.
Speaker 3: For this.
Speaker 7: One can't even respond to it. I mean, it's well
Speaker 7: one should if people are literally fleeing, people have lost
Speaker 7: their lives.
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, people are also fleeing prior to
Speaker 1: the fire because of you guys. Fifth year in a row, California.
Speaker 1: Most fleets they just saw that and it's not even close.
Speaker 7: Kids lost their schools, family is completely torn asunder, churches
Speaker 7: burned down. This guy wanted to politicize it. I have
Speaker 7: a lot of thoughts, and I know what I want
Speaker 7: to say. I won't. I stood next to a president
Speaker 7: of the United States of America today, and I was
Speaker 7: proud to be with Joe Biden. And he had the
Speaker 7: backs of every single person in this community. He didn't
Speaker 7: play politics, couldn't try to divide any of us.
Speaker 1: No, he was busy talking about something else. I seem
Speaker 1: to remember, I'm a great fan follower. Look, I don't
Speaker 1: good for him. That's that's great. I don't think the
Speaker 1: residents of California want to hear about what a good
Speaker 1: day you're having. It's like when he left, It's like
Speaker 1: he did this in North Carolina. Remember, He's like, Oh no,
Speaker 1: I talked to him. Everything's fine, and he's sitting here
Speaker 1: with this. I'm a great fan follow He's getting the
Speaker 1: choco choco chip response, Ross, can we get the choco
Speaker 1: chocolate chip up please? Just so people know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. It's like it's it's like entertaining a toddler.
Speaker 1: Oh he's a big boy. Oh, it's so good. Look
Speaker 1: at you. Oh you put your pants on right, Oh,
Speaker 1: how nice. Oh you went potty by yourself. Good for you.
Speaker 1: It's that it's that same energy like when he visited
Speaker 1: Durham went and got himself some ice cream and they
Speaker 1: stuck a microphone in his fund in his face, and
Speaker 1: we got this.
Speaker 7: Chocoate chocolate chip.
Speaker 1: By yourself? Did you order all by yourself? Dude? The
Speaker 1: gas the gas lighting from Newsome. Dear god, can you
Speaker 1: imagine if we were ready to slip into a Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris right after this, all Newsome and his cronies would
Speaker 1: have to do is just count down eleven more days
Speaker 1: and then you know, Harris would be right there with them,
Speaker 1: trying to deflect from this. Oh. It's just it's enraging.
Speaker 1: And I don't even live there. And it's enraging because
Speaker 1: I know people there. But even if I didn't know
Speaker 1: people there, because there are so many people in this
Speaker 1: country that think California is this this beacon of how
Speaker 1: government should be done? You do you want this? Time's
Speaker 1: fifty or maybe fifty one, but fifty. Canada's got a
Speaker 1: lot of water.
Speaker 5: By the way, I don't know if you guys know this,
Speaker 5: the fact that they're blaming Donald Trump though. You saw
Speaker 5: Bernie Sanders come out yesterday and he said, you know,
Speaker 5: Trump has to take this seriously climate change, and it's like, dude,
Speaker 5: you're talking about a state, but first off, Trump isn't
Speaker 5: even the president yet, like Biden is the president, and
Speaker 5: you're talking about a state that's completely run by Democrats.
Speaker 5: But they're looking for the closest Republican to blame and
Speaker 5: then they can blame that on climate change. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think who posted I thought was it Jarvis
Speaker 1: who posted that yesterday? It was really funny, but it
Speaker 1: basically was like they were the problem. They ran into
Speaker 1: the closest reprobat and there wasn't one, so they had
Speaker 1: to make up one.
Speaker 5: Right, They're looking around, They're like, you know, where's the
Speaker 5: Republican in California we can blame for this who's denying
Speaker 5: climate change? And they're like, oh, crapper, in California, there
Speaker 5: is none. We'll go to the next closest one who's
Speaker 5: gonna be sworn into office in the next week or so.
Speaker 1: It's Trump's fault. Yeah, I can't believe he did that.
Speaker 1: It's Trump and the gaze. According to the one guy
Speaker 1: walking through.
Speaker 5: There, just if it's climate change, and if it's you know,
Speaker 5: but politics of fault, then it would be Joe Biden's responsibility.
Speaker 5: Then Joe Biden climate change serious enough?
Speaker 1: Right, well obviously not. But but but let's take it
Speaker 1: a step further. If you honestly believe that, then you
Speaker 1: would think, yes, I can hear you. So the family
Speaker 1: actually clicked that if you honestly believe that that it's
Speaker 1: climate change, and it's just this is this is what
Speaker 1: Republicans have wrought. Let's go, let's go one hundred percent
Speaker 1: in with that, you bear no responsibility. Shouldn't your priority
Speaker 1: be to double secure your when bad things happen, supplies
Speaker 1: right your bunker. Wouldn't you want to say, all right, well,
Speaker 1: if the Republicans aren't going to take it seriously, and
Speaker 1: this is what climate change is going to do, we
Speaker 1: should have double reservoirs. We should have we should have
Speaker 1: fire capacity within these fire hydrants that is far exceeding
Speaker 1: what we normally do.
Speaker 5: Right right, If you think that's the problem, then you
Speaker 5: you should have a big supply of water. And you're like,
Speaker 5: we have no water because the climate change in the reservoirs. Well,
Speaker 5: you've got like a record number of water last year.
Speaker 5: What it was it? Remember all they we've talked about this.
Speaker 1: Well, hang hang on, I want to look it up.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna look this up and we got
Speaker 1: to go to break here. I'm going to find that number.
Speaker 1: I think it was something like eleven million gallons per
Speaker 1: minute or something. It was some crazy number, but we'll
Speaker 1: get to it. Hang on. Earlier in the show, I
Speaker 1: had said that the mayor of Los Angeles, the former
Speaker 1: con gershwoman now Mayor Karen Bass, who again sat there yesterday, well,
Speaker 1: like a b BA BBC reporter was picking up on
Speaker 1: the accent in Ghana, is sticking a mic in her face,
Speaker 1: going hey, you anything to say, and she won't say
Speaker 1: anything about this. I had indicated that she made a
Speaker 1: decision to move sixteen and a half million from the
Speaker 1: fire department's preparatory funds basically for maintenance, for hydrants and
Speaker 1: equipment and stuff like that, to give to migrants. And
Speaker 1: that was not accurate. It was seventeen point six. So
Speaker 1: wanted to make that correction. All right, looked up the
Speaker 1: snowfall and yeah, so we were you know, we had
Speaker 1: all these stories where we were talking about there's record snowfall.
Speaker 1: I remember talking about with Ray stage it. The numbers
Speaker 1: are crazy.
Speaker 5: You remember the videos because they were all screaming climate
Speaker 5: change out in California because we never get snow here.
Speaker 5: Look at all the snow.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's there's a famous photo of a dude
Speaker 1: who's just below a cabin where there's seventeen feet that
Speaker 1: have dritten out to arre. It is a little drift
Speaker 1: in this case, but not by much. And I look,
Speaker 1: I grew up with this, not we were at lower elevation,
Speaker 1: but if you go to the top of our property,
Speaker 1: it's damn near. Even with where the passes, their Donner
Speaker 1: Pass and above that and the road the little reflector
Speaker 1: poles on the side of the road. When you get
Speaker 1: into a road like that, they're like ten feet tall,
Speaker 1: and it's really crazy. And I have a picture somewhere
Speaker 1: I gotta find it on my phone of you drive
Speaker 1: through like I don't call it a tunnel, but where
Speaker 1: there's ten feet of snow on the side of the road.
Speaker 1: It's really disconcerting to drive through there too, because there's
Speaker 1: no room for air and it's wild and It's one
Speaker 1: of those things that whenever somebody's like, ah, we got
Speaker 1: a lot of snow, I'd be like, that's not a
Speaker 1: lot of snow, right, I do the old man thing.
Speaker 1: But we got I think the most snowfall I remember
Speaker 1: we got on the property one year was about two
Speaker 1: hundred inches. But if you go above that, like just
Speaker 1: above Cloud Peak, which is the main peak there where
Speaker 1: I grew up, they get on average three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty inches. And that's at the top of a mountain.
Speaker 1: This is above tree line, so there's not it's just
Speaker 1: it's it's so much snow. They got six hundred They
Speaker 1: got six hundred and seventy seven inches of snow. For
Speaker 1: those of you who want to do the little early
Speaker 1: don't want to do the quick math, that's over fifty
Speaker 1: five feet of snow and they did nothing to procure
Speaker 1: that bonus that mother nature. Yeah, Ross made a good
Speaker 1: point off the air. It's like that joke of the
Speaker 1: guy standing on top of his house with the flood
Speaker 1: waters around him. Right, So he's stand on top of
Speaker 1: his house and here comes the guy comes buying a
Speaker 1: canoe and he's like, hey man, I'm here to rescue you.
Speaker 1: And he's like, I'll be fine. I have Jesus right,
Speaker 1: all right. Guy goes away, and then here comes some
Speaker 1: dudes in a speedboat and they're like, hey, man, we're
Speaker 1: here to rescue you. And he's like, no, it's so,
Speaker 1: it's fine, Jesus will save me. And then and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes a rescue helicopter. Right
Speaker 1: they're hovering over the dude's house, ladders down like, get in, man,
Speaker 1: we're here to save you, and he's like it's okay,
Speaker 1: Jesus will save me. And then his dumb ass drowns
Speaker 1: and he gets up there right at the pearly gates,
Speaker 1: and Saint Peter's surprised to see him, and he goes,
Speaker 1: what happened to you? What are you not supposed to
Speaker 1: be here? And he's like, oh, I drowned, and well,
Speaker 1: I can't believe Jesus didn't save me, and and Saint
Speaker 1: Peter goes, well, we sent you two boats and a helicopter. Dummy,
Speaker 1: Well you got six hundred and seventy seven inches of
Speaker 1: snow and ross. Do you remember what happened when they
Speaker 1: just politely pointed out that maybe they should dig a
Speaker 1: big ass hole down at the bottom of the mountain
Speaker 1: and then let nature do its own thing. Remember how
Speaker 1: outraged they were over that. How dare you? We can't
Speaker 1: the diversity smelt?
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's so dumb, I was saying off there too.
Speaker 5: Reminds you of like if you're playing like a video game,
Speaker 5: you're playing like an RPG, and you come across you know,
Speaker 5: there's a.
Speaker 1: Fork in the right choose your own advance in situation.
Speaker 5: You can save you know, uh, the the settlement, the
Speaker 5: people in your settlement, which would be in this part
Speaker 5: of California, or you can save the endangered species. I'm
Speaker 5: not even thinking about it, and I'm gonna save my
Speaker 5: settlement because I've been working hard and I'd rather that
Speaker 5: not burned down. Or it's like yeah, I don't care,
Speaker 5: so it comes, or another choice, like there's a media
Speaker 5: coming and you don't have a choice in this game,
Speaker 5: and the media can either hit a colony of Pandas
Speaker 5: Adorable Adorable Pandas.
Speaker 1: All they're rolling around playing, aren't they all look at that?
Speaker 5: Or you know, random a Costa Rica somewhere like that.
Speaker 1: I'm no's where I like that's right? No? No, I
Speaker 1: like that play So sorry pandas they I'll open the
Speaker 1: panda's gate and give them a chance. Right, you're free
Speaker 1: if you want it. But I feel like it would
Speaker 1: turn like when the when those moon bats rated that
Speaker 1: zoo in Wisconsin and they open all the animal gates,
Speaker 1: and then the next day the zoo keeper shows up
Speaker 1: and all the animals are in their pens because that's
Speaker 1: where the food is. THO.
Speaker 5: They just played it on the National news there from
Speaker 5: Fox at the top of the hour, they're like, you know,
Speaker 5: twenty twenty President Trump had this solution, but the people
Speaker 5: in California said it wasn't scientifically plausible because of the
Speaker 5: endangered species. Well, no, you're choosing that. That's your choice.
Speaker 5: It would have worked, but you're saying we can't do
Speaker 5: that because of the endangered species. Well that's hold on,
Speaker 5: hold on.
Speaker 1: You're over your skis here. Trump didn't have that idea.
Speaker 1: The earliest agrarian societies.
Speaker 5: Yes, right, right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like Mesopotamia was between two rivers to move
Speaker 1: the water.
Speaker 5: It wasn't like it came up by there, like we
Speaker 5: should give him a Nobel prize. It's as right, yeah, right,
Speaker 5: the choice that you have made the Sumerians. The Sumerians
Speaker 5: had that idea. And the sad thing is, see, now
Speaker 5: if people like I'm just going to say, I'm just spitball,
Speaker 5: like you probably have some sort of celebrities like a
Speaker 5: Mark Ruffalo or somebody in this area, it's like, no,
Speaker 5: we made the right decision because we have to save
Speaker 5: the endangered species and what's happening now is climate change
Speaker 5: and has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1: No, they said, but I think that. But do you
Speaker 1: remember when when the piece the Peaceless Summer peaceful mostly
Speaker 1: peaceful protests was going on, and that one guy was all,
Speaker 1: he's gone from Twitter. He must be over at Blue
Speaker 1: Sky now he used to play basketball, and he was.
Speaker 1: Within forty eight hours. He's like, yes, these this is
Speaker 1: rage that you know, white people have brought on and
Speaker 1: uh and so now you've got to take your medicine.
Speaker 1: And then he's frantic tweeting forty eight hours later that
Speaker 1: the criminals are in his neighborhood and please come save
Speaker 1: us and how is this happening because.
Speaker 5: They came to his front yard and suddenly it's different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like, God, I didn't mean all this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's it's self own, it's it's all
Speaker 1: cell phone. And that with Karen Bass, the mayor there,
Speaker 1: who's absolutely incompetent, and they should have known this. She's
Speaker 1: been this way when she was in Congress, not answering questions.
Speaker 1: Do you the way that they're they're defending her is
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. I know if you saw this yesterday, Yeah, well, well,
Speaker 1: how how dare you criticize Karen Bass, who again wouldn't
Speaker 1: even take questions? How dare you criticize her? When Ted
Speaker 1: Cruz fled Texas during that snowstorm years ago and went
Speaker 1: to can Kun do you mean the senator? You mean this?
Speaker 1: This senator left during something that was run by state officials.
Speaker 1: The emergency management has being run by state officials. Karen
Speaker 1: Bass is the mayor, and you're all going to play
Speaker 1: that game. And you know you're right, Russ. Some of
Speaker 1: them will come down like Mark Ruflow and their house
Speaker 1: won't burn down, and so they'll just hold on to that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure John Cryer hasn't changed from last week when
Speaker 1: he was on pill maher. They you just you messing
Speaker 1: with your own livelihood. At this point, I told you
Speaker 1: I talked to family members out. One of my family
Speaker 1: members is not a conservative. He's also not an angry
Speaker 1: progressive or whatever, but like, and he doesn't really talk politics,
Speaker 1: but over the years, whenever we brought something up, he'll
Speaker 1: come out with a take and I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot, that's okay, But you know, it doesn't bother
Speaker 1: us that dude's so red pilled right now. He's so
Speaker 1: red pilled right now. It was it was interesting talking
Speaker 1: to him because I and I didn't want to stop
Speaker 1: him because he's he's you know, he's dealing because he
Speaker 1: had a friend who's whose house is gone. It's somebody
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he was telling me that, and
Speaker 1: he's so red pilled right now, and I just wanted
Speaker 1: to stop and be like, bro, good for you. But
Speaker 1: I didn't because he just wanted to vent and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to get all that. But yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's what it takes. The problem is you're
Speaker 1: so far gone and and the the APPARATUSUS of power
Speaker 1: in California are so fortified, and they do all the
Speaker 1: stuff that the people scream bloody murder about like that.
Speaker 1: All the Republicans at the North Carolina General Assembly are
Speaker 1: doing this, you know why, because California has done all
Speaker 1: of that already. There's a reason they don't even have
Speaker 1: normal elections there. Yeah, what are they they're jungle jungle primaries. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The first time, ye first time you hear about this,
Speaker 5: you're like, that can't your real thing? And because you're like, well,
Speaker 5: how come you know they haven't voted for a Republican
Speaker 5: in forever? Are they that evil or whatever? Like why
Speaker 5: haven't they made that leap? And it's like it's almost
Speaker 5: impossible now.
Speaker 1: Because when you get by the time you get to
Speaker 1: the general election, like with the last Senate race, there
Speaker 1: no two are sent of races ago because the last
Speaker 1: one was in a race, it was an appointment. So
Speaker 1: the way it works is this, So let's say that
Speaker 1: there is there's an office, all right, and Ross and
Speaker 1: I and Kyle from News are running all right, and
Speaker 1: Ross and I are are super one ideology, and then
Speaker 1: Kyle's the other because he eats Sey Chariso. We don't
Speaker 1: want Kyle in there in his Sey Chariso. So what
Speaker 1: we will do during the primary is generally they'll get
Speaker 1: a couple different other Kyles. Sometimes they're not even really ideologues.
Speaker 1: With Kyle, and they will spread it and then they'll
Speaker 1: get the two Democrats or in this case, the Ross
Speaker 1: and I for the purpose of the store, sorry, we'll
Speaker 1: get well, we'll come out of the primary, regardless of
Speaker 1: party affiliation, with the most votes, and then for the
Speaker 1: general election they only put the top two on there.
Speaker 1: So now there's not a chance that Kyle and Issouy
Speaker 1: Chariso Brigade or others are going to even have a
Speaker 1: chance because they're not on the general ballot. And that's
Speaker 1: how that works. Tell me, that's not the craziest thing
Speaker 1: you've ever heard. And what it does too, is that
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people in California who are
Speaker 1: conservative but don't even vote. They don't vote because they're
Speaker 1: deincentivized because they can't even vote for, you know, one
Speaker 1: of the bigger races and have it make a difference,
Speaker 1: and then they don't vote then in the down ballot
Speaker 1: races because they're not there. It's a big problem with
Speaker 1: turnout for Republicans in California because people are just so
Speaker 1: deincentivized by the way the rules are. And so then
Speaker 1: you get more of this. So you know that the
Speaker 1: struggle in the and what you have to do there
Speaker 1: is you have to convert people that we're voiding, we're
Speaker 1: voting for the Sudscherizo party, that are voting for Ross,
Speaker 1: and I that maybe they should try souscheriso and sous
Speaker 1: cheriso is a hard push in California. Well not really,
Speaker 1: but in this weird scenario I've created, I'm sure they
Speaker 1: love it out there. Chris, what's up?
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Casey, Thanks for taking my call. My
Speaker 8: question is kind of for all the climate experts or whatever.
Speaker 8: If it's climate change, why isn't it more widespread? Why
Speaker 8: is it for like a specific area? If you look
Speaker 8: at the grand scheme, the climate's like engulfs the whole earth.
Speaker 9: Then the other question I.
Speaker 8: Had for you, doesn't this seem like the similarity to
Speaker 8: the Hawaiian fire, just like kind of secluded to one
Speaker 8: demographic one area to burn them out or whatever. And
Speaker 8: then the ethnicity of the people there, you know, it
Speaker 8: doesn't seem like. No, no one's saying, oh this is
Speaker 8: racist fire or anything, you know. But my question really
Speaker 8: was just for the climate experts, is why is it
Speaker 8: not such? Why is it more widespread? And thank you
Speaker 8: for taking my car?
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no, well, the thing is, sir, it is
Speaker 1: they According to them, it is everything is everything that happens.
Speaker 1: Climate change got them. Well I have a bone screener.
Speaker 1: Why are you being crazy? All right, yeah, it is right.
Speaker 1: Climate change devastated western North Carolina. Climate change made it
Speaker 1: Hurricane hit Florida in uh October, and you're like, wait
Speaker 1: a second, and that happened. Yeah, But but it's the
Speaker 1: problem is, sir, is regardless of how you get there,
Speaker 1: just put the climate change things to the side for
Speaker 1: a moment, even though if they honestly believe that, then
Speaker 1: they should the amount of water insurance with reservoirs and
Speaker 1: stuff they should have. If they really felt that way,
Speaker 1: they would make a priority. The the the reason for
Speaker 1: that when when you push all that to the side,
Speaker 1: is they're gaslight in you. And they've also and if
Speaker 1: you just remove the climate change angle and you think about, hey,
Speaker 1: do you think it's a good idea if we build
Speaker 1: a sea of five million plus dollar homes in the
Speaker 1: middle of Kindling, most normal people will be like, I
Speaker 1: don't know that that's a good idea. How many of
Speaker 1: you have built a cabin or a home in a
Speaker 1: wooded area? Do they just let you cut out just
Speaker 1: enough trees to go and get the house built, or
Speaker 1: do you have a certain distance of trees you got
Speaker 1: to clear. Depending on where you are, you gotta because
Speaker 1: they don't want the possibility or the danger there from
Speaker 1: a fire perspective, and also tree you know, large trees
Speaker 1: falling on homes and it's a little loosey goosey. But
Speaker 1: when you get into areas of California, Colorado, in parts
Speaker 1: of Wyoming, you got to cut back. When we did
Speaker 1: our cabin, we had to cut back on the on
Speaker 1: the non water side because it fronts a creek there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, so it's death by a thousand cuts.
Speaker 1: But it stems from whether you believe that or not.
Speaker 1: So I understand the question. But I mean, I've done
Speaker 1: radio every every single hurricane season. I got to hear
Speaker 1: how climate change made hurricanes happen.
Speaker 5: They're also jumping to the climate, not surprisingly to the
Speaker 5: climate change. You know, solution pretty quickly because how many
Speaker 5: stories in the past have we covered like this where
Speaker 5: there's some sort of massive fire and it turns out
Speaker 5: to be arson Arson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I told you California, it's a lot of
Speaker 1: firebug stuff. Or now the other big fire was what
Speaker 1: they blamed that on the electrical company, and I think
Speaker 1: that that probably was fair. It sounds like they weren't
Speaker 1: maintaining equipment there. But the fires that I remember, because
Speaker 1: I remember it like it blew my mind that there
Speaker 1: were so many firebugs. The fire We had like three
Speaker 1: fires in California, big ones when I was there, and
Speaker 1: each one with some lunatic who's like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: start a fire. One of these fires clearly came from
Speaker 1: one of the homeless camps. They haven't really stated on
Speaker 1: together too.
Speaker 5: We tooked yesterday about the palettes. The homeless person was.
Speaker 1: The crazy lady burning palettes because she didn't think there
Speaker 1: was enough fires because she's obviously got schizophrenic or something. Dude,
Speaker 1: it's this is the death by a thousand cuts. This
Speaker 1: is how you get there. You suffer lunatics, lunatics who
Speaker 1: are legitimately need mental health and are living on the
Speaker 1: streets doing whatever they please and accosting people and being
Speaker 1: a general strain on society and public safety. And then
Speaker 1: the ones who get in office. It's what's the old
Speaker 1: Californian joke, It's about being a breakfast cereal. But it's
Speaker 1: all fruits and nuts. I can't remember how it goes.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's fruits and nuts, and everybody else is
Speaker 1: a flake something like that, which you know, it's a
Speaker 1: little stereotypical, but it's not far off when you see
Speaker 1: stuff like this. The lunatics are running the asylum. Six
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven inches of snow fifty five and
Speaker 1: a half feet and you let a wash into the
Speaker 1: ocean that was last year. And if all you had
Speaker 1: to do was dig like two big ol'd holes, and
Speaker 1: nature would have done this because I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know this. Rossnard looked it up. What happens to
Speaker 1: snow when it gets a little warmer but not so
Speaker 1: warm that it turns into evaporating mist. Oh that's right,
Speaker 1: it turns into water, and then gravity will get it
Speaker 1: there for you. If you pick the right spot, we'll
Speaker 1: be back. Would you rather be a crazy person who
Speaker 1: showed up at the Capital Visitor Center attempted to gain
Speaker 1: access in possession of three knives and a machete? All right,
Speaker 1: So that's team one, three knives and a machete, or uh,
Speaker 1: some dude with napalm. I've got I've got to go,
Speaker 1: Danny Trejo, You're going machete over napalm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I don't want the cancer.
Speaker 1: Well, here, if I could make an understandable, if I
Speaker 1: could make an argument in the other direction, I think
Speaker 1: if you're running, if you're a lunatic running out the
Speaker 1: Capitol police with a machete, they probably would be able
Speaker 1: to take you out.
Speaker 5: And and see that's my problem. I'm thinking long term.
Speaker 1: But with napalm, you're you're sitting there and some of
Speaker 1: those police are got to be I don't make enough
Speaker 1: money for this, right and so maybe that gets you
Speaker 1: a little deeper in there. I don't know, but both
Speaker 1: those things happened yesterday. US Capitol police arrested a man
Speaker 1: near the Grant Memorial who claimed to have napalm. The
Speaker 1: reason they were on such heightened alert is Trump went
Speaker 1: to the Jimmy Carter where he's lay at the Capitol.
Speaker 1: He's laying in the state there. Obviously Trump went and visited.
Speaker 1: So this happened literally at the time, right around the
Speaker 1: time that Trump was doing this, So people were a
Speaker 1: little more security, a little more secret service. But as
Speaker 1: he approached, ground crew workers noticed the man trying to
Speaker 1: light something on fire. So he exited his car and
Speaker 1: now he's got whatever this thing is, and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's probably not a good thing. When
Speaker 1: asked what he was doing, the man said, quote, I
Speaker 1: have napalm and I'm lighting it on fire. You better
Speaker 1: get away from me. I'm trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: he actually had. I don't think theyver released what it
Speaker 1: actually is. I suspect they don't think it's napalm. They
Speaker 1: where do you even buy napalm? Yeah? Army surplus store?
Speaker 1: Where do you get that? But so that was that
Speaker 1: was dude number one and dude number two. Capitol police
Speaker 1: arrested a man attempting to bring a machete in three
Speaker 1: knives into the Capitol. This happened just a couple hours
Speaker 1: before Trump was coming to visit. So but these two
Speaker 1: things happened like two hours apart. Capitol police say they
Speaker 1: arrested him just after two pm when officers spotted the
Speaker 1: machete in the man's bag. So, I did he put
Speaker 1: it through? He tried to put a machete in three
Speaker 1: knives through a screener? Is this some weird staffer issue?
Speaker 1: What is going on here? Didn't they just remember over
Speaker 1: the I remember over the break they had the staffer
Speaker 1: for one of these guys trying to ring a gun in.
Speaker 1: But we see that every now and then. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was he attempted to go through a security screen. What
Speaker 1: do you think they're not going to notice that? Although ross,
Speaker 1: you know what happened the last time I flew, I
Speaker 1: had a big, a big one of the big heavy
Speaker 1: on bottles that I bought for seventy two dollars whatever
Speaker 1: they charged at Hudson News there.
Speaker 5: It's a good deal too, airports man. So I had
Speaker 5: a when you forget your earbuds or something, then then
Speaker 5: they completely got you.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what they got me on one time
Speaker 1: is I had forgotten my my big iPhone charging cable
Speaker 1: my long life. I always have to have a long
Speaker 1: one too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're screwed.
Speaker 1: And I walked in. It was in the It was
Speaker 1: I had flown from Raleigh to Miami and I had
Speaker 1: a connection from Miami and I needed I'm like, ah, sucks.
Speaker 1: And I went into that little tech tech store or
Speaker 1: whatever around d thirty and I think I might I
Speaker 1: think I might have paid like sixty five dollars for
Speaker 1: this thing that fell apart in like a week. Just awful.
Speaker 1: But I had bought the bottle in Raleigh when I
Speaker 1: had left and had I had bought two bottles, stuffed
Speaker 1: one in my bag and drank one and I forgot
Speaker 1: the other one was still in the bottom of my
Speaker 1: backpack and I never pulled it on on vacation. So
Speaker 1: I come through, I screen in at the airport and
Speaker 1: then I had to do a separate security screening through
Speaker 1: customs too, and then rescreen into So when you land
Speaker 1: coming from an international flight, when you land in Miami
Speaker 1: or wherever, you go through customs, then you get your
Speaker 1: bag and if you're on a connection, then you have
Speaker 1: to rescreen security. They didn't catch a giant bottle of
Speaker 1: water in my bag either time, and you know how
Speaker 1: much they love to catch people who have a little
Speaker 1: bit of water in their bag. The thing went through,
Speaker 1: so maybe the dude thought he could get his naybe,
Speaker 1: they probably knew who you were. The funniest, the funniest
Speaker 1: question I ever got asked by the immigration guy. And
Speaker 1: this is after Miami Airport. I was flying back. I
Speaker 1: was flying back from It was when I went to
Speaker 1: Ecuador and in Columbia to go to Glopagos when on
Speaker 1: a flying back, and you know, sometimes I'll ask you questions.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just leave your passport looking into the camera
Speaker 1: and then you're off and he goes, uh, he's one
Speaker 1: of these guys who asked questions. And he's like, where
Speaker 1: were you? What are you doing? What do you do
Speaker 1: for a living? And I liked him.
Speaker 5: He goes, You're like, in went to the media and
Speaker 5: you push him aside.
Speaker 1: Well, I told him, I said, I work for iHeartMedia.
Speaker 9: I do.
Speaker 1: I'm a radio host and he goes, are you famous?
Speaker 1: And I go, I'm working on He goes, well, I've
Speaker 1: never heard of you, and he hands me my passport.
Speaker 1: So mean, I'm like, I did I got the one
Speaker 1: who brought this up right, I wasn't over here, Like
Speaker 1: do you know who I am? You asked me, and
Speaker 1: I answered you honestly.
Speaker 5: They had a shame my success.
Speaker 1: What did I do?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 1: And I was the smart asking me. It was going
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, I haven't heard of you either,
Speaker 1: but then I thought no, then I'm getting strip searched.
Speaker 1: I did. That's how my brain works. I'm like, don't, don't, don't,
Speaker 1: don't do it. Oh man, Wait, people are emailing me
Speaker 1: how to get napalm? You know what, don't please, I
Speaker 1: don't want to know. I don't want that to be
Speaker 1: an evidentiary item.
Speaker 5: We posted the video up by Casey and the radio.
Speaker 5: What no, should I delete that?
Speaker 1: The Internet's forever man, So it wouldn't do any wouldn't
Speaker 1: do any good. Uh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well no,
Speaker 1: so they they passed. So somebody's asked me, like, we
Speaker 1: do we have Why aren't we hearing reports of the
Speaker 1: private firefighters?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well because, uh some municipalities made them illegal. Going back
Speaker 1: to that fire that the cal Energy or whatever started
Speaker 1: or whatever they call themselves. Now, if you're who was
Speaker 1: it was a Kanye, you had private firefighters. There were
Speaker 1: a couple of celebrities. Oh no, it wasn't Kanye.
Speaker 5: Who was Kanye? It was Kanye too.
Speaker 1: Though it was Kanye too, there was another one, another celebrity.
Speaker 5: I want to say, maybe Beyonce or somebody. But I
Speaker 5: know I remember it because it was a big deal
Speaker 5: when Kanye did it, because they were like, look at
Speaker 5: how dare he provides protect his property because everybody else's
Speaker 5: houses were burning down?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's the first thing I'm doing man, you
Speaker 1: just you just you built a reservoir on your property,
Speaker 1: right you just by the hinge, right, yeah, you can.
Speaker 5: The water flows to the center of the henge, and
Speaker 5: it's very nice with the rocks and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, evenings when the ceremonial fire is next to
Speaker 1: the sacrificial altar burning twilight. Oh what a wonderful time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, no, no, this is if I here,
Speaker 1: I'm going to save the state of California, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it for cheaper than any of you idiots
Speaker 1: could think of. Okay, this is what you get from
Speaker 1: this show, solutions to the world's problems. You ready, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna solve it. And to solve it, I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you about what. We have a five hundred foot
Speaker 1: irrigation system. Okay. So the way it works is like this.
Speaker 1: So my family's property is starts at a very a
Speaker 1: very low elevation. It's it's you know, a mile up there.
Speaker 1: But if you go all the way up the property
Speaker 1: to the highest point where it butts into the deepest
Speaker 1: part of national forest, you have an altitude gain of
Speaker 1: about three thousand feet, okay, and about every five hundred
Speaker 1: feet in elevation change. We have reservoirs, and so when
Speaker 1: the water flows down, we're able to capture it. We
Speaker 1: then fill a base and at the top of the
Speaker 1: property it goes down and it will then spill over
Speaker 1: part of it where we have like a culvert, a
Speaker 1: meter culvert, and then it flows down to the next
Speaker 1: one and then continue on. And there's not just one
Speaker 1: series of it. There's actually two and two and a
Speaker 1: half and and and we do that because we at
Speaker 1: different altitudes need water. Also, it's less likely to evaporate
Speaker 1: the higher up it is because the colder it maintains.
Speaker 1: It keeps a lotter cleaner too. And it's it's ungodly
Speaker 1: expensive to pump water uphill. So so and it's it's
Speaker 1: not some big the logical thing. So here's what I
Speaker 1: would suggest to the state of California. Do that, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save you money on the labor cost. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to have the equipment. But if you stick
Speaker 1: a bunch of like, you know, big construction equipment out
Speaker 1: there and you just tell average dudes they can come
Speaker 1: out and dig holes with it, there'll be a line
Speaker 1: around the corner. You know how much every guy wants
Speaker 1: to be able to run a bucket and it's really fun.
Speaker 1: If you've never done it, it's like it's like you're
Speaker 1: the kid with the thing in the park with the
Speaker 1: sand digger, but for real, for real, you'd have guys
Speaker 1: lining up all day to sit there and just dig
Speaker 1: holes for you and move dirt around. That's why they
Speaker 1: have adventure parks where you can go do that.
Speaker 5: That's why it's a meme.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 5: Yes, you see like the guy digging the hole and
Speaker 5: the other guy comes across and he's like, hey, is
Speaker 5: this the hole.
Speaker 1: That's a nice hole. Yeah, So you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: cover the equipment, but the labor's gonna be basically free
Speaker 1: if you just tell guys they can dig hole and
Speaker 1: then you get professionals around the edges. I understand that,
Speaker 1: but most of the whole digging's pretty mind numbing. Not
Speaker 1: knocking on heavy equipment operators. But you know when you're
Speaker 1: digging too something of that size. Eh, there, I just
Speaker 1: saved I just saved your state. You're welcome. Two easy steps,
Speaker 1: so simple ray stage. I here to give you some
Speaker 1: of that snowfall you need for water to run off,
Speaker 1: so you can keep that song on fire. You tell
Speaker 1: the state of California wanted a reservoir, and you just
Speaker 1: told random dudes, Hey, we got a bunch of like
Speaker 1: big cat equipment up here. If you you want to
Speaker 1: come play in the sandbox, you wouldn't get free labor
Speaker 1: for days. My wife doesn't get it. When we win
Speaker 1: the lottery, that is my goal to actually talked.
Speaker 10: Yeah, buying an excavator and buying a buying a front
Speaker 10: and loader and digging holes and then filling them in
Speaker 10: and have people come watch me.
Speaker 1: Yeah your beer, yeah yeah, in beer for you. You're
Speaker 1: operating in heavy equipment there.
Speaker 10: So well, I mean if it's on private property, I.
Speaker 1: Could do it. That's how you end up on the news, right, exactly, right, right, yeah, okay.
Speaker 10: Yeah, speaking of machinery, I don't know, probably some plowable
Speaker 10: snow and ice, but it's really a forecast that leads
Speaker 10: more toward sleep freezing rain and ice than it does
Speaker 10: anything else. Not fluffy snow piling up, but still going
Speaker 10: to be a mess here later tomorrow and Tomorrow night
Speaker 10: and early Saturday sun.
Speaker 1: Will be after nine am tomorrow. Yes, So there would
Speaker 1: be no reason why a radio host would take a
Speaker 1: snow day tomorrow. Then they have threatened.
Speaker 5: No, this is some bull crab, it's what this is. Yeah,
Speaker 5: blowny tell you who the host was. No, No, I
Speaker 5: wouldn't want anybody to do that. But yeah, probably about
Speaker 5: the same. It's all coming later in the afternoon.
Speaker 10: So yeah, today kind of the cold day, real cold
Speaker 10: this morning, a lot of low mid teens around and
Speaker 10: maybe forty later today. Most of us stay in the
Speaker 10: thirties at tomorrow afternoons the clouds stick it up. It's
Speaker 10: probably the onset some snow and sleep early and then
Speaker 10: to go through tomorrow night snow, sleep, freezing rain.
Speaker 1: You're looking at.
Speaker 10: An inch maybe up to two inch to snow and
Speaker 10: ice accumulating. There might even be a little bit of
Speaker 10: rain in there before it ends on Saturday morning. Most
Speaker 10: of the snow is going to be confined to the
Speaker 10: west and up into the mountains, where they could get
Speaker 10: three to six inches. So it really depends on where
Speaker 10: you are. But kind of an icy mess. It's gonna
Speaker 10: get pretty slick. I would prep maybe for some glaze
Speaker 10: or some trees, potentially some branches coming down if we
Speaker 10: do get the ice accumulation, So there might be some
Speaker 10: spotty power outages. I'm not going real aggressive on that
Speaker 10: right now, but at least a chance there worst of
Speaker 10: the coming as we head on through later Tomorrow evening
Speaker 10: into Tomorrow night and early Saturday. Maybe an end as
Speaker 10: a brief period of snow, but then we'll quickly modify
Speaker 10: into the forties Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, I guess we'll be here tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Then we'll talk to you in an hour, sir. Okay,
Speaker 1: there you go, Race Agic from the Weather Channel. How
Speaker 1: easy is it to acquire a four to five million
Speaker 1: dollar mansion in North Carolina? Way too easy. We'll get
Speaker 1: into that story. Plus Stephen Kent will join us for
Speaker 1: all of our Hollywood in sanity and so much more.
Speaker 1: That'll be at eight oh five. So stick around back
Speaker 1: in just a few happy Thursday here on the Cacoday
Speaker 1: Radio program. Unless you are let's see a banker or
Speaker 1: post office, then a happy federal holiday that we didn't
Speaker 1: get to avail ourselves of because the Jimmy Carter stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's the thing. If you're going to be if
Speaker 1: you thought you're going to the post office today, probably not.
Speaker 1: But in the interim we truck on and we do
Speaker 1: so with our official NERD correspondent, Stephen Kent have a
Speaker 1: chat in a while. Obviously had all the big holidays.
Speaker 1: How you doing there, Stephen?
Speaker 9: Hey, we're back. It's a new year, a new me.
Speaker 9: We're going to be watching only good shows and movies
Speaker 9: this year.
Speaker 1: No garbage, no garbage, all right, Well, good luck with that.
Speaker 1: And luckily during this two weeks we were off, nothing happened,
Speaker 1: So that's good. Everything is exactly how we left it.
Speaker 1: Nothing crazy, nothing at all. Where do I even start?
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, because like, and then we'll get
Speaker 1: to some of this other stuff. Because it was two
Speaker 1: days after our last show that a woman got lit
Speaker 1: on fire right in a subway. And then yeah, and
Speaker 1: then of course you hadn't knew what happened in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: Then you had the cyber trunk at the Trump Hotel,
Speaker 1: you had all of this British pedal grooming stuff going
Speaker 1: on over there. Well, I can't in my mind, I
Speaker 1: don't even know if I could encapsulate all of the
Speaker 1: insane stories that are out there. What was the one
Speaker 1: that you like, were like, holy crap, and we're really
Speaker 1: paying attention to which one stood out to you?
Speaker 9: I have paid the most attention to the ongoing debate
Speaker 9: over acquiring Panama, Greenland and Canada. That has been Uh,
Speaker 9: that has been of the most interest to me, that
Speaker 9: has actually offered me on the I forgot the longest
Speaker 9: deep dives. Yes, So I'm looking forward to being appointed
Speaker 9: governor of Panama and attending Greenland's next summit with Donald
Speaker 9: Trump Junior as its president.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Okay, you not as big on the Canada thing. Huh,
Speaker 1: prety little?
Speaker 9: Well, you know, like, if we're being serious that the
Speaker 9: Canada thing is is totally a bluff and if we
Speaker 9: were to acquire Canada, it would explode Democrat representation in Congress.
Speaker 9: It would it would completely make Republicans outnumbers. So we
Speaker 9: don't want that. But I'm actually totally on board with
Speaker 9: Panama and Greenland.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: So I I was. I flew through Panama. It was
Speaker 1: in the Panama airport and I cracked a joke. It's
Speaker 1: the bartender there. I said, Hey, I'm I'm American, but
Speaker 1: I'm not here to take your canal And he had
Speaker 1: no bandwidth for the humor.
Speaker 9: Did not think he didn't find that very funny.
Speaker 1: No, And it was weird because we'd been talking for
Speaker 1: a few minutes and kind of yucking it up. But boy,
Speaker 1: it was a sea change there. But you know, people
Speaker 1: don't realize about Panama Canal is a couple of things. One,
Speaker 1: the French tried to do it, but then they gave
Speaker 1: the French yeah, I'm kidding, and so we're like, all right,
Speaker 1: well if you can't handle it, will do it. And
Speaker 1: also that wasn't Panama. Panama didn't exist, Okay, that was Colombia.
Speaker 1: That was all Colombia up there, and Colombia was like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. So in pure US FAFO fashion,
Speaker 1: we said, well, how about we fund essentially the over
Speaker 1: the the independence of Panama. And so we did. We
Speaker 1: we literally came in and we were like, hey, we're
Speaker 1: the you know, we're like this would stand it up
Speaker 1: to the bully. Here we are and so you you
Speaker 1: said no, So we're just gonna not this isn't yours anymore,
Speaker 1: the hubris of it. And then we built the canal.
Speaker 1: Thirty thousand US service members died or contractors died doing it.
Speaker 1: And we had this this this this buffer zone to
Speaker 1: the Panama Buffer Zone, which they essentially leased over to
Speaker 1: US from perpetuity and then Jimmy Carter gave it back
Speaker 1: one day. Like there's a lot going on there. So
Speaker 1: if you're Panama, you truly know what went down there.
Speaker 1: Uh but let's let's be honest. It isn't about us
Speaker 1: going in and taking the canal back and planning the
Speaker 1: flag day. It's about timing what China does and what
Speaker 1: China has done is they have essentially acquired most of
Speaker 1: the control and maintenance of the Caribbean side, the Cologne side,
Speaker 1: and they are fast acquiring essentially the rights on the
Speaker 1: on the on the Pacific side. And uh, that is
Speaker 1: that's not good for us. That's a really really bad thing.
Speaker 1: And that's how China rolls. I've explained how what they
Speaker 1: do in Africa. In Costa Rica, where I like to
Speaker 1: spend my time, they have a brand new soccer stadium
Speaker 1: that that China just built them.
Speaker 9: Justltimately, nobody, nobody ever pauses to think that there are
Speaker 9: other countries in the world who have interests and they
Speaker 9: like to play on our side of the globe. My
Speaker 9: main gripe against media, against sort of the mainstream culture
Speaker 9: is sort of the pearl clutching that happens anytime I'm
Speaker 9: Donald Trump, uh suggests something outside of the normal. It's
Speaker 9: kind of like what the Joker says when he's in
Speaker 9: the hospital during the dark night. He's like, everything you
Speaker 9: know is going according to plan, everything's fine, but if
Speaker 9: someone suggests doing something outside of the plan, everyone loses
Speaker 9: their minds. And you know, acquiring Panama and Greenland, these
Speaker 9: are both things that have like rich history, hundreds of
Speaker 9: years of discussion.
Speaker 1: To do this, we had to it Hoover who tried
Speaker 1: to acquire Greenland at one time.
Speaker 9: And this is it's a valid debate. And I just
Speaker 9: don't like when people act like it's outside of the
Speaker 9: realm of discussion. It's just outside of the realm of
Speaker 9: recent discussion.
Speaker 1: Well, and and people don't make an effort to understand why. Okay,
Speaker 1: they go, well, why would you want Greenland? All right,
Speaker 1: So here's why I'm going to I'm explaining this, and
Speaker 1: it's really simple actually, because we want a pipeline. Naturally
Speaker 1: we can pipeline energy to Greenland and then shipping it
Speaker 1: from Greenland as support too years up. One solves Europe's
Speaker 1: PROBM because Russia just cut them off, and two would
Speaker 1: make us insanely and not to mention the natural resources
Speaker 1: that are in Greenland, but just for the pipeline part
Speaker 1: of it is immeasurable. And they are actively making one
Speaker 1: of the new shipping routes to be a primary shipping route,
Speaker 1: to be the North Passage. They're already ice cut it.
Speaker 1: We use it for a few months out of the year,
Speaker 1: and it's getting easier to ice cut it the more
Speaker 1: maintenance you do and warming temperatures and all that that.
Speaker 1: They say that the most important port in the world
Speaker 1: at one point could be in Alaska.
Speaker 9: Because the world is not the same as it was
Speaker 9: a century ago. There's more possibilities and even if you
Speaker 9: talk about military and military operations and troop movements, there's
Speaker 9: more possibility today from moving through the northern hemisphere than
Speaker 9: there was previously, which means that we're going to have
Speaker 9: to rethink operations.
Speaker 1: In the Artac and the Panama Canal plays in because
Speaker 1: that is that's the thing. And people also don't understand,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the one of the strategic advantages
Speaker 1: that Russia has is US military uh US Navy is
Speaker 1: not allowed to move into the Black Sea, right so
Speaker 1: they can that's the deal. The Turks will not let
Speaker 1: passage of US military stuff. Now they won't let any
Speaker 1: military stuff through, but Russia obviously has a port in there,
Speaker 1: so they can run around do whatever the hell they
Speaker 1: want in there, and that is Russia essentially telling Turkey,
Speaker 1: don't you dare. So this stuff is all really strategically important,
Speaker 1: but I I will that will that for another time.
Speaker 1: Let's go. You made a Batman reference there. Do you
Speaker 1: remember remember when you saw the first Nolan Batman and
Speaker 1: you're like, this is gritty and this is great, right,
Speaker 1: It was definitely upward departure, and then the Joker. The
Speaker 1: Joker was another upward departure and just gets grittier and grittier.
Speaker 1: Is there anything grittier than cannibal Batman? What's that's all?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, if you don't. There's an actor named
Speaker 1: Armie Hammer who was really really famous about seven eight
Speaker 1: years ago, was said to be the next guy, and
Speaker 1: then it came out that he's kind of into cannibalism,
Speaker 1: or at least talking about it a lot and trying
Speaker 1: to get other people to do it. And so he
Speaker 1: got me tooed on cannibalism and some sex stuff. But
Speaker 1: apparently he finally got he's finally going to be back acting,
Speaker 1: and he landed a role in Dark Night. So now
Speaker 1: Ross was joking, he goes, is if you criticize this,
Speaker 1: some nerds gonna be like, well, actually, in episode seventy
Speaker 1: or issue seventy three of the like Batman was a cannibal.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, So what are we doing here man?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna go cannibal Batman? Or are they going
Speaker 1: to make him not talk about that stuff?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I mean this is this is basically the equivalent of
Speaker 9: someone losing their Hollywood career and then coming back in
Speaker 9: a obscure sort of B movie porno named after a
Speaker 9: Star Wars or Batman movie. This has nothing to do
Speaker 9: with Batman. Casey, this is Yui Bowl. This is Yui
Speaker 9: Bowl though. So this guy does bizarre B movies. He
Speaker 9: did like the Rampage movie series and House of the
Speaker 9: Dead in the early two thousands. He just does random
Speaker 9: be action movies. So if one of your favorite actors
Speaker 9: from like the nineteen nineties or two thousands disappears, they
Speaker 9: will probably resurface in the Yui Ball movie. So Armie
Speaker 9: Hammer is going to be doing just that in the
Speaker 9: Dark Night. You know some movie about vigilante Justice and
Speaker 9: we'll probably never hear about him again.
Speaker 1: And I did look this up. Do you know that
Speaker 1: one of the Batman villains is a cannibal I'm sure Cornelius.
Speaker 9: No, I don't know. I don't know that one, but
Speaker 9: that's kind of scary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a cannibalisty super villain also imbued with
Speaker 1: the power to cause fear or hallucinations through telepathy.
Speaker 9: So no, okay, so he didn't need the Scarecrow's little
Speaker 9: chemical agent to make people scared. And apparently, yeah, I
Speaker 9: did not know. Did not.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Hollywood, and not just because it's on
Speaker 1: fire right now and how horrible all that is. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you have some thoughts, feel free to weigh in
Speaker 1: on the fire stuff. But we've been talking about a
Speaker 1: bunch of that today, but more specifically, I'm I I
Speaker 1: battle with watching, and we talked about this yesterday. I
Speaker 1: battle watching people like Jim Gaffigan or Jack Black who've
Speaker 1: been on these like interview tours now talking about how
Speaker 1: they never meant to insult Trump voters. They were just
Speaker 1: talking about Trump and it's jokes and you need to
Speaker 1: get over it, and and who was the who was
Speaker 1: the commute was at Whitney Cummings right, who went scorched
Speaker 1: Earth the other day on Hollywood? And it's like, do
Speaker 1: you do you how do you gauge whether they mean
Speaker 1: it or they're just trying to protect their paycheck, Because
Speaker 1: I like with Jim gaff again, he didn't us say Trump,
Speaker 1: He said the R word to describe half of the country.
Speaker 1: And isn't it interesting to watch them come around? And
Speaker 1: then you watch with Mark Zuckerberg, right, So what do
Speaker 1: you make of all this?
Speaker 9: Well, there is certainly a lot of people trying to
Speaker 9: figure out how to stay relevant in the coming years.
Speaker 9: And it's it's not so much about Trump. It's just
Speaker 9: I mean, put your finger in the air and kind
Speaker 9: of feel where the winds are blowing. But the culture
Speaker 9: is changing, and that's something that Mark Zuckerberg mentioned in
Speaker 9: his video detailing the end of a censorship regime on
Speaker 9: Facebook and Instagram, which is just that the culture has
Speaker 9: shifted and politics is downstream of culture. So yes, Trump
Speaker 9: is coming back, but the people in America and different
Speaker 9: pockets erape are exhausted with sort of this affluent left
Speaker 9: wing censorship regime and fear of comedy. I think that
Speaker 9: things are really really changing and Jim gas again he's
Speaker 9: gonna have to do I don't know. I think probably
Speaker 9: a little bit of period of irrelevance because of how
Speaker 9: far he went out on a limb to knock Trump
Speaker 9: voters and just regular people, which is the real set here.
Speaker 1: And it is too because Gaff against stick is an
Speaker 1: every man's stick, right, He's the hot pocket guy. Right,
Speaker 1: that's not political unless you're some weird oh vegan And
Speaker 1: he mentions.
Speaker 9: So well, Bill Burrs made the same mistake. I mean,
Speaker 9: he's he's really going out on a limb to go
Speaker 9: after Trump voters and everyday people on behalf of his
Speaker 9: very very fringe leftist wife, and it's really putting his
Speaker 9: career in jeopardy as well. I'm a big John Mullaney guy.
Speaker 9: And if you like John Mullaney, he knows how to
Speaker 9: do politics, right. Uh and he he doesn't burn those bridges, no.
Speaker 6: Or.
Speaker 1: His name is to skate. Who's the guy does the
Speaker 1: Trump impression that got me tooed from snlies?
Speaker 9: No, I don't know that one, but uh you do?
Speaker 3: Ross.
Speaker 1: Who am I thinking? Who's the guy does the Trump
Speaker 1: impression that was Shane Gillis. Yeah, well he's Shane Gillis, man.
Speaker 1: That dude's right, Shane Gillis. I think he's a conservative either.
Speaker 1: I've heard him say some stuff, but he just he
Speaker 1: doesn't get into it. He's out there and he's doing
Speaker 1: a Trump impression and he talks about how you could
Speaker 1: assassinate Biden with a punch. Right, that's funny, right, there's
Speaker 1: so there are ways to go ahead and do this
Speaker 1: stuff where he's blocking Trump for his delivery. He's also
Speaker 1: mocking Biden for his age and nobody's getting offended. What
Speaker 1: he got canceled for is he does a podcast. Uh,
Speaker 1: and one of the guys that's on the podcast is
Speaker 1: an Asian comic and they they're all like, they're all
Speaker 1: joking with each other, and that's what they went back
Speaker 1: and got him for doing essentially Asian boys or whatever.
Speaker 1: But like that wouldn't happen today. I don't think I
Speaker 1: don't think he no, I.
Speaker 9: Don't think so either. We're swinging back into a position
Speaker 9: of normal and the comedy of Shane Gillis, which is
Speaker 9: just aggressively normal. If you grew up before the year
Speaker 9: two thousand and sixteen, that is going to make a comeback,
Speaker 9: and people who don't burn their bridges are going to
Speaker 9: be rewarded for that. And I've just been chuckling for
Speaker 9: the past couple of days about John Mulaney's great skit
Speaker 9: from several years ago about how Donald Trump is the
Speaker 9: equivalent of a horse in a hospital. He never goes
Speaker 9: after Donald Trump by name. He calls him the horse
Speaker 9: in the hospital. And it's actually a great way to
Speaker 9: think about that guy. He's just kind of there. He's
Speaker 9: doing weird stuff that people don't expect. And what do
Speaker 9: you even do when the horse gets on the elevator?
Speaker 9: You just kind of scratch your head and wonder is
Speaker 9: he going to make it up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, people who are good. The problem is is and
Speaker 1: maybe these people are extremely talented Jim Gaffigan, it's very talented, okay,
Speaker 1: And it's like you lose whatever was your motivation to
Speaker 1: do the thing that made you so funny, and it's
Speaker 1: you know, being willing to take a wide look at
Speaker 1: what's going on and find the humor in it. And
Speaker 1: once you allow the ideology to come in there, it
Speaker 1: turns off that creative spigot. You still think you're doing it,
Speaker 1: so you put out these awful s and O cold
Speaker 1: opens with you know, with the Hillary Clinton after Hillary
Speaker 1: lost with the song and like you allow yourself to
Speaker 1: be trapped down there and maybe you don't even notice it.
Speaker 1: So so there's a bit of sincerity maybe there, but
Speaker 1: very little because it seems very self serving. Uh and yeah, lastly,
Speaker 1: I got just about a minute here. Is this Superman
Speaker 1: movie gonna work out or not? I know some people
Speaker 1: are upset that they want with a new guy. Trailer
Speaker 1: doesn't look bad, but I hear some of the focus
Speaker 1: group stuff isn't isn't going well?
Speaker 9: So yeah, I've heard the same things. The focus groups
Speaker 9: are really divided and not showing us good signs. But yeah,
Speaker 9: I mean that trailer was hype, and it was because
Speaker 9: it was just American, a classic hero romance with Lois
Speaker 9: Lane a good villain. This looks like a movie that
Speaker 9: is trying to take us back to a simpler time
Speaker 9: where we were less sensitive and worried about everything. So
Speaker 9: I think it has a lot going for it. But
Speaker 9: we've grown to be taking superhero movie is so so
Speaker 9: seriously that we expect everything to be some sort of
Speaker 9: Oscar winning award work of art and maybe we just
Speaker 9: need to enjoy.
Speaker 1: There's a lot, a lot of good examples that weren't
Speaker 1: going for that are just entertaining, man. And that's take
Speaker 1: that all day.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 1: I didn't get over to the Star Wars. Well we'll
Speaker 1: save that for next week. We got a roll.
Speaker 8: But uh, tragedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate it. We'll talk soon, Okay, talk soon.
Speaker 1: All right, there we go, h Stephen Kent case O
Speaker 1: Day Radio program. Hang on, why are they building an
Speaker 1: arc down the hallway? What is going on? What is
Speaker 1: that not? I didn't see any gopher? What are they
Speaker 1: building down there?
Speaker 7: We do?
Speaker 1: We got construction crews in.
Speaker 5: There, and well, yeah we've mentioned like half the building
Speaker 5: has gone so they're redoing.
Speaker 1: They hadn't been working before nine before you know radio.
Speaker 5: They came in today. It's like, yeah, a lot of
Speaker 5: banging down there. They were still. You know, my studio
Speaker 5: is right across from the rack room where they keep
Speaker 5: all the tech computer stuff, and they've just been staring
Speaker 5: at it, like, look at this thing, dude. I'm just waiting.
Speaker 1: Why is that guy in there talking to himself? What's happening?
Speaker 1: Why is that? Why are those other people talking to
Speaker 1: themselves in the other rooms.
Speaker 5: What's going on in the Captain America shield?
Speaker 1: Oh did you vanquish them? I didn't even see that. No, no,
Speaker 1: because there's still banging that ross is just like why
Speaker 1: people are banging down the hall. And it took me
Speaker 1: a moment. Oh yeah, okay, I see what you're saying there.
Speaker 5: Well, no, because we were told in the meeting, right
Speaker 5: and the meeting Trevor was I asked. I asked, yeah,
Speaker 5: We're like, is that gonna be the you know, super
Speaker 5: loud in the morning and disturbed the show? And he
Speaker 5: was like, you know, no, they shouldn't work before nine.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, the way he worded it now makes sense. He goes,
Speaker 1: they didn't mention they were gonna work before nine, So
Speaker 1: I think he's got a little plausible deniability in there.
Speaker 1: What aver it's still is, it's still not louder than
Speaker 1: when the server room does the jet engine things. So's
Speaker 1: that going? Oh man, all right, a couple of things here.
Speaker 1: Uh you lost my train of thought there. Oh yeah, Oh,
Speaker 1: now I got to get angry for just a moment.
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 1: I am blown away that we're still doing this. So obviously,
Speaker 1: going back to October of twenty twenty two. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: been that long. It's been over two years when tragedy
Speaker 1: struck in the Headingham neighborhood of Raleigh with a mass shooting.
Speaker 1: You had a young man he killed first, he killed
Speaker 1: his brother and off duty police officer. He went down
Speaker 1: to the News River Greenway and shot somebody down there,
Speaker 1: and five people in total ended up dying. Then he
Speaker 1: fled over like going towards Nightdale and right kind of
Speaker 1: in the hook of the belt line there, went into
Speaker 1: a cabin or a barn of some sort, and police
Speaker 1: eventually went in there. And I honestly, this dude probably
Speaker 1: should have died with the injuries he sustained, but somehow
Speaker 1: pulled through. All Right. Why am I bringing this because
Speaker 1: attorneys representing this dirt bag, alleged dirt bag who is
Speaker 1: accused of killing the five people, are now saying that
Speaker 1: it was due to a brain injury. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're setting up for some sort of defense
Speaker 1: from mental capacity. But the thing that makes me angry
Speaker 1: here is why why are we still not being treated
Speaker 1: to the totality of what was going on here? Because
Speaker 1: and I will say this, I have very good sources
Speaker 1: very good sources who from the jump have given me
Speaker 1: a lot of insight, and I'll explain it to the
Speaker 1: extent of what I can on the air to what
Speaker 1: is going on here and what was going on here,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a really important component. And I
Speaker 1: still don't fully understand the reason why they're holding back
Speaker 1: at this.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: But this dude was going to shoot up a school. Okay.
Speaker 1: This is why this is what makes me so angry,
Speaker 1: because we're gonna come in there and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you didn't know what he was doing. This guy was
Speaker 1: going to according to the information that I have from
Speaker 1: law enforcement sources that are in this in this thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: the do you know why the brother got shot first?
Speaker 1: Do you think? Why do you think he just randomly
Speaker 1: shot his brother first? Because his brother discovered plans that
Speaker 1: he had put together. This is what my sources tell me.
Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong, then they can come out and
Speaker 1: correct me. But I'm not wrong, right, No one's gonna
Speaker 1: be correcting me on this. This guy was meticulously planning
Speaker 1: to go shoot up a school. His brother found out
Speaker 1: about it, and he killed his brother, is my understanding,
Speaker 1: because he didn't want his plan. You surved, but then
Speaker 1: he'd killed his brother. So at this point, now you've
Speaker 1: got to kick your plan into gear. And that's why,
Speaker 1: you know, for other people lost their lives after that.
Speaker 1: It is a particularly horrific story. But if you don't
Speaker 1: recognize that the sources I have are talking about something
Speaker 1: that required a dedicated mind to attempt to put together, right,
Speaker 1: the logistics of it, acquiring the weapons, putting the schematics together.
Speaker 1: I'm sure making a list of the people who hurt
Speaker 1: you the most and figuring out where they're going to be,
Speaker 1: because you know you're only gonna have a certain amount
Speaker 1: of time to go in there and do your murdering.
Speaker 1: These are things that somebody who's suffer you know, sitting
Speaker 1: around with a brain injury and can't think of stuff,
Speaker 1: I'm going to have a hard time believing that they
Speaker 1: were able to put together. And so when we don't
Speaker 1: have that information out publicly that I have been told
Speaker 1: by multiple law enforcement people involved in this, then you
Speaker 1: can't understand contextually this argument his attorney's making sounds a
Speaker 1: little hard to swallow. Now there, I'm sure there's a
Speaker 1: lot more here, and and maybe he did suffer a
Speaker 1: brain injury, I suffered a brain injury. I know some
Speaker 1: of you are not surprised. No, seriously, I was in
Speaker 1: a rollover accident. I was ejected from the vehicle. I
Speaker 1: had a basel or skull fracture, rattled some stuff. Oh,
Speaker 1: I had. I messed myself up, man, Thankfully I was.
Speaker 1: You know, I was twenty at the time. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: little easier to bounce back when you're twenty and in
Speaker 1: reasonably good shape. But it was, it was, And I
Speaker 1: haven't shot up a neighborhood. So this is this is
Speaker 1: why as we move forward with this, Yeah, people need
Speaker 1: to know this. And if that is, if if my
Speaker 1: sources are correct, and I believe they are because they
Speaker 1: have been correct on damn near everything I've ever heard
Speaker 1: from them. This is why this played out in the
Speaker 1: way that it played out. This guy was gonna go
Speaker 1: shoot up a school. His brother found out, his brother
Speaker 1: was gonna tattle tale. He killed his brother. Then he
Speaker 1: went all right, we're in this, and then the day's
Speaker 1: events unfolded, so arguing diminishmental capacity, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know about all that, all right, eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight Sevenfore, this is stuff just
Speaker 1: makes me angry. Here just makes me angry. Uh attorney
Speaker 1: side of the vast amount of evidence connected to the
Speaker 1: case when asking they want additional time too. They're trying
Speaker 1: to put the trial back, including eight terabytes of data
Speaker 1: that includes downloads of cell phones, laptops, and iPads. Hmm,
Speaker 1: you know what's on the what's on the iPad and
Speaker 1: the laptop there or the laptop I believe told what's
Speaker 1: on the laptop plans to shoot up a school? So
Speaker 1: why wouldn't that info be out there? Why don't people
Speaker 1: have a deeper understanding of this? Why are there not
Speaker 1: questions about how that festered? And were there any signs
Speaker 1: out there where somebody might have known that this. I
Speaker 1: guess he was fifteen at the time, fifteen year old
Speaker 1: decided he was going to go do this thing, or
Speaker 1: it was planning on doing this thing, and then just
Speaker 1: did the the you know, the frantic version of it.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: There also multiple pistols, projectiles, knives, rifles, magazine, showcasings, ammunition, ammunition, rounds,
Speaker 1: and bullets all listed in the complaint. A total of
Speaker 1: eleven firearms, one hundred and seventy boxes of ammunition. Let's
Speaker 1: see here, what the chargy they charged of father with
Speaker 1: I think what making accessible a firearm storage thing? But
Speaker 1: still still we need to have more information. And frankly,
Speaker 1: when you're cobbling together an arsenal like that, Now, some
Speaker 1: of those guns are obviously the families, but when you're
Speaker 1: putting plans together, cobbling an arsenal and making a murder list,
Speaker 1: diminished capacity is is a lot harder. I've never understood
Speaker 1: why why that's not out there? Why?
Speaker 8: Why?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: What's the motivation.
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 1: Because school officials there was a problem and they ignored it.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying everyone wh shoots up. The school wasn't bullied.
Speaker 1: So there there's there's more that needs to come out here,
Speaker 1: all right? Eight forty four Racetagic from the weather channels,
Speaker 1: hanging out, ready to do his thing. Maybe all right,
Speaker 1: good go then we're here. Hey mister, what's going on? Dude, sir?
Speaker 5: Not much?
Speaker 1: Whill you like tonight? H I just said, what's going on?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: Not much?
Speaker 10: YEA hanging around? Try not to scare everybody. I I
Speaker 10: don't think Ohio State could be who do you like?
Speaker 10: Ohio State?
Speaker 1: See? I I can't tell if Ohio well they can
Speaker 1: Michigan beat him.
Speaker 10: Well, I mean in the from what I've seen in
Speaker 10: two games in the playoffs, so we'll see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It'll be tough. It'll be tough, man, Well,
Speaker 1: yeah it will. But also Ohio State, I know it's
Speaker 1: going to irritate the Buckeye fans. Ohio State has the
Speaker 1: ability to walk in and look like they've never seen
Speaker 1: a football before. Incorrect, correct or they have the ability
Speaker 1: to dominate it. It's it's it's really kind of like
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, man where it's like Dame keep getting in
Speaker 1: there and then they get absolutely waxed. And this year
Speaker 1: they look a little better. But so I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think college football is just on its
Speaker 1: last leg. So to some extent, man who nil stuff.
Speaker 1: You see the Florida guy's transferring again and he's already
Speaker 1: been given like thirteen mil. They're just isn't it for shake?
Speaker 1: That's crazy?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't like all right, anyway, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like it all.
Speaker 10: But there is a tie not to college football, but
Speaker 10: for the Rams playoff game, to weather being fires going
Speaker 10: on in La County. You know they're still monitoring and
Speaker 10: if they do move the game, they could move into Arizona.
Speaker 1: You's got to go deal with that. What the team
Speaker 1: has got to go deal with that. It's it's the Vikings,
Speaker 1: isn't it. We have a we have a Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a Well.
Speaker 10: Just make it a home game, right, Yeah, we could
Speaker 10: do that. But yeah, so that's the big story, really,
Speaker 10: believe it or not. The winter storm kind of taking
Speaker 10: second second fiddle. I mean, we're gonna get some snow
Speaker 10: and ice. There's a winter storm watch for most of us.
Speaker 10: They'll probably go to advisories or warnings. Today is kind
Speaker 10: of like our setup day. Cold might not get out
Speaker 10: of the thirties tonight in near twenty then later tomorrow
Speaker 10: from west to east, probably about two o'clock at the
Speaker 10: Triad and around four or five o'clock around the Triang
Speaker 10: we'll start to see some snow come in, and there'll
Speaker 10: be some mixed precipitation of snow to sleep and freezing
Speaker 10: rain before ending sometime on Saturday through midday. Could be
Speaker 10: around an inch or two of sleet and snow and
Speaker 10: ice developing and accumulating. Soday is going to get pretty
Speaker 10: tricky out there to travel, but it's not going to
Speaker 10: be a fun snow, So it's gotta be wet and
Speaker 10: messy and kind of gloppy. But with the freezing rate,
Speaker 10: if you do get enough of it, there could be
Speaker 10: a glaze of ice and maybe some spotty power outage,
Speaker 10: so I would at least prep for that. I don't
Speaker 10: think it's going to be widespread, but we're trending now
Speaker 10: a little bit more ice than we are actual all snow.
Speaker 10: But either way, it's gonna be a mess tomorrow night
Speaker 10: to go out. So maybe take a Friday night, stay home,
Speaker 10: watch a movie or something, and even on through early Saturday.
Speaker 1: But it should start improving. Don't get any prep, don't
Speaker 1: do any prep and then blame climate change. It's very something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well yeah you could do that too. Yeah, help myself.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the afternoon in the forties and it's still chilly Sunday.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, yeah take the California model. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, sir. We'll talk to tomorrow maybe if the
Speaker 1: world doesn't end, and we'll come back chat with Jeff
Speaker 1: Bellinger next with Jeff Bellinger. But there's no h nothing
Speaker 1: going on in the market. So what do you want
Speaker 1: to talk about? Sports or something or.
Speaker 4: The well we can talk about yesterday's where we were
Speaker 4: going to start. Stocks were mixed yesterday. It was a
Speaker 4: very volatile session up and down for the averages. The
Speaker 4: now ended a quarter percent higher, S and P five
Speaker 4: hundred game two tenths percent. The NASDAK closed a tenth
Speaker 4: of a percent lower. As you indicated case, the markets
Speaker 4: will be closed today to honor Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Carter on the day of his funeral.
Speaker 4: It's essentially a federal holiday with no mail delivery ups
Speaker 4: and FedEx will be making deliveries. It is expected that
Speaker 4: most banks will be open. The National Park Service website
Speaker 4: says parks will be open as usual, though administrative offices
Speaker 4: will be closed. A threatened strike that would have shut
Speaker 4: down the nation's East Coast and Gulf Coast ports next
Speaker 4: week has been averted. There is a tentative a contract
Speaker 4: a contract agreement on a new six year deal that
Speaker 4: reportedly provides more protection for union jobs as more port
Speaker 4: operations are automated. This pact still has to be ratified here.
Speaker 4: B and B announced it is working with the Los
Speaker 4: Angeles based Or organization to offer free temporary housing to
Speaker 4: people displaced by the wildfires in southern California. A new
Speaker 4: entity has been formed in the retail sector. Spark Group
Speaker 4: merged with J. C. Penny and created a new company
Speaker 4: called Catalyst Brands. Besides Penny, Catalyst is the parent of Lucky,
Speaker 4: Eddie Bauer, aeropost L Forever twenty one and Brooks Brothers. Casey,
Speaker 4: A lot of people will sit through commercials if it
Speaker 4: means saving money on their video entertainment. Walt Disney reports
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty seven million subscribers to its Disney Plus,
Speaker 4: Hulu Plus, and ESPN Plus streaming services signed up for
Speaker 4: the less expensive ADS supported tears. Disney says about sixty
Speaker 4: percent of subscribers choose packages with ads.

Speaker 1: a Penn didn't even didn't even think about Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: It's like got right to the Penn State. Absolutely disturbing.

Speaker 1: little part of the world. Right, You're You're it, You're
Speaker 1: the boss LFA, and you've decided that you're gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: create your own creative vision for how fun should be spent.
Speaker 1: And then yesterday they purplock you in the state police
Speaker 1: arrest you. What's this world coming to? Well, that is
Speaker 1: what happened with the mayor in Louisiana. He's twenty five.
Speaker 1: Younger Dudes' name is Tyrone Tyrone Trong. He was taken
Speaker 1: into custody by Louisiana State Police. Here's what happened, according
Speaker 1: to the indictment. So what he did as mayor of Bugaloosa, Louisiana,
Speaker 1: which is the most Louisiana sounding name I've heard for
Speaker 1: a city in a while. As mayor of Boogaloosa, he
Speaker 1: rented an Airbnb and filled it with hoes and drugs,
Speaker 1: and you all paid for it, the residents of Boogaloosa, Louisiana.
Speaker 1: So yes, look at this guy. He has he's it.
Speaker 1: He's the man, he's the guy in charge of his
Speaker 1: community of people. And he can't even have a secret
Speaker 1: Airbnb hooker loft with drugs without getting in trouble. I mean,

Speaker 1: Right here? It's how much was it? It's not a
Speaker 1: big towns like it had to be a very noticeable amount.
Speaker 1: It's like tens of thousands of dollars
