Speaker 1: Guys, go loot your local establishment ahead of the winter apocalypse.
Speaker 2: That race stag.
Speaker 1: It will belong to chat a couple times four or
Speaker 1: about rather, we'll do that sub forty five, eight forty
Speaker 1: five respectively. So we got that lumen. The Wake County
Speaker 1: school Board is simply out of hand. They're not dealing
Speaker 1: with they're not dealing with the Trump administration real well.
Speaker 2: Now they they want.
Speaker 1: To remind you that they're seemingly their focus, their big
Speaker 1: focus is to first and foremost make sure that your
Speaker 1: kids get a quality education. Apparently to do that though
Speaker 1: if they can't have their DEI stuff, they're very bothered
Speaker 1: by that. And we'll say whatever random insane things. Literally
Speaker 1: seated there at the podium in their capacity as the
Speaker 1: elected officials for your kids' school, they will sit there
Speaker 1: and have temper tantrums. Some they have to apologize for,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it says Sam Hershey the other day
Speaker 1: talking about how mediocre all the white dudes are while
Speaker 1: himself being.
Speaker 2: One, or yet Lynn Edmunds going off on her Trump rant.
Speaker 3: All.
Speaker 1: What this stems from is their realization that if they
Speaker 1: keep doing what they have been doing, they're inevitably going
Speaker 1: to cost themselves and your kids federal funding.
Speaker 2: You don't have to like where the President's coming from.
Speaker 1: But this, right here is what we were talking about
Speaker 1: with the Department of Ed and the ability at the
Speaker 1: federal level to essentially use that national apparatus, even while
Speaker 1: they're getting rid of it, to hamstring local school districts
Speaker 1: to do what they want. The irony, of course, is
Speaker 1: the abolition of the Department of Ed would free up
Speaker 1: wake county schools if the state didn't step in and
Speaker 1: put restrictions.
Speaker 2: To do as much of this crap as they wanted.
Speaker 1: So you're literally watching their reaction, their tantrums are proving
Speaker 1: to you what the problem is here, right, The problem,
Speaker 1: of course, being that the federal government can sit there
Speaker 1: and say, all right, we don't like this thing, and
Speaker 1: in this case, it's the federal government saying, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't like the fact that you're essentially ignoring the
Speaker 1: very basic tenets of what education is supposed to do
Speaker 1: and instead you're prioritizing all of these woke initiatives. And
Speaker 1: at the federal level, we're not going to do that anymore.
Speaker 1: You're watching them literally prove to you what the problem
Speaker 1: is when it comes to these DEI initiatives. That's what's
Speaker 1: so hilarious. That's what's so crazy about this, Like you're
Speaker 1: proving his point every step of the way, and then
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you're using your pulpit to tell
Speaker 1: people to go ahead and send money to these very
Speaker 1: woke advocacy organizations. And I don't know is that legal.
Speaker 1: Can you sit there as an electuse at the federal level,
Speaker 1: you can't do that, right. You have things like the
Speaker 1: Hatch Act and others that preclude you from what really
Speaker 1: appears to be politicking. So when you're sitting there and
Speaker 1: it's your turn to speak as part of your ability
Speaker 1: or your right as an elected official, and you use
Speaker 1: it to advocate for the very same liberal organizations that
Speaker 1: are out suing the president. On behalf of this, we've
Speaker 1: got our own attorney general here in North Carolina who's
Speaker 1: decided that he's going to join these lawsuits, which really
Speaker 1: doesn't track considering North Carolina voted for Trump. Again, they
Speaker 1: voted for him, but they also voted for Trump. I
Speaker 1: don't know how it all pans out. And what's going
Speaker 1: to happen is some elected officials are going to get
Speaker 1: made an example out of and when they get made
Speaker 1: an example funding for your kids' school could be imperiled
Speaker 1: by their own behavior. And then they'll point and they'll
Speaker 1: scream and they'll say it was Trump. But when you're
Speaker 1: having mel downs on the record like.
Speaker 4: This, I was struck by something that was said tonight
Speaker 4: during public comment that we the because of our woke
Speaker 4: agenda or however it was described, are like putting vulnerable
Speaker 4: students at risk and federal funding at risk.
Speaker 5: And I thought, you are wow.
Speaker 4: That is uh, that's rich. Solu exactly is so threatened
Speaker 4: by the pillars and value of d I are so
Speaker 4: threatened by pronouns.
Speaker 1: Well, you're the ones who if you call somebody a
Speaker 1: DEI higher you get mad. So apparently you yourself are
Speaker 1: threatened by DEI in some capacity. But again, the pert,
Speaker 1: the only person putting it in peril is you and
Speaker 1: fellow board members that are having these public tantrums. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is not do the stuff, and
Speaker 1: you can even use the money to do stuff you
Speaker 1: should be doing. That's it.
Speaker 2: That's the only thing you gotta do, and you can't
Speaker 2: do it. You can't help.
Speaker 4: Yourself that they would deny special needs students with the
Speaker 4: funding they need and deny children's school meals own it, and.
Speaker 1: Again that's that's what they're putting out there. Well, if
Speaker 1: we don't have the money to do the DEI initiatives,
Speaker 1: you know who's going to suffer is your kids for
Speaker 1: special needs and for meals, because we're still going to
Speaker 1: spend the money on the woke stuff. But if the
Speaker 1: money stops coming for the woke stuff, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to get it from somewhere and it's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: your kid's belly or special led funding or something, because
Speaker 1: that's how they do it. I've covered school boards long
Speaker 1: enough that when they don't have the money they think
Speaker 1: they should have, what they will do is they will
Speaker 1: go and they will make very visual cuts not to
Speaker 1: the stuff they like, but to the stuff you like, right,
Speaker 1: So they'll do things. They'll be like, well, we don't
Speaker 1: have enough money because we want to spend a portion
Speaker 1: of the budget with these DEI initiatives.
Speaker 2: So we're still going to do it.
Speaker 1: But since we're we're getting less money because we're doing it,
Speaker 1: We're going to now double the price for participation in extracurriculars,
Speaker 1: or we're going to Unfortunately, we're going to have to
Speaker 1: combine some of our special ed programs. But that stay,
Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do, and then parents will suffer
Speaker 1: and kids will suffer. But we can't help the suffering
Speaker 1: because they will give us money for.
Speaker 2: The other thing. And we're super upset.
Speaker 4: Own that short sightedness and own that cruelty. Lastly, to
Speaker 4: all those looking for ways to fight back, I'll just
Speaker 4: ask you to keep standing with us, stand up for
Speaker 4: the marginalized children, and stand up for kindness and truth
Speaker 4: and justice. The goal with all of these executive orders
Speaker 4: is to destroy democracy. The speed and reckless approach is
Speaker 4: a strategy meant to exhaust us and make us feel hopeless.
Speaker 4: So let's do the opposite of that. Let's show up here,
Speaker 4: show up in the street, show up in the courts,
Speaker 4: and if you're in a position that you can give
Speaker 4: some money, I suggest Lambda Legal, who works to protect
Speaker 4: LGBTQ plus students and people, Democracy Forward, and the ACO
Speaker 4: you who are rapidly responding in the courts to these
Speaker 4: executive orders and to the Human Rights Campaign. There's many,
Speaker 4: many more, but those are the ones I chose to
Speaker 4: highlight tonight. Our kids and our schools, are worth all
Speaker 4: we've got to give in this moment.
Speaker 1: Thank you great, okay, And then the other thing you
Speaker 1: can do is that's fine if you want to use
Speaker 1: your free time to advocate for that, But in the interim,
Speaker 1: you have a job to do, because you're an adult,
Speaker 1: and your job is to cut out those programs that
Speaker 1: will make you ineligible for the federal funding so that
Speaker 1: you can protect your ability to fund the other stuff.
Speaker 1: So you know, wine and complain and do all of this,
Speaker 1: but it does negate your responsibility. So nobody has to
Speaker 1: own the cruelty and own the cuts because you don't
Speaker 1: have to be cruel and you don't have to make
Speaker 1: cuts to the other stuff. You just don't get to
Speaker 1: do your little thing that you want to do because you, frankly,
Speaker 1: you and others did way too much of it. Do
Speaker 1: you think there's a parent right now whose biggest concern
Speaker 1: as it pertains to kids in school is your little
Speaker 1: pet dei projects. No, No, they're sitting there, especially when
Speaker 1: it comes to things like the way keunty school board,
Speaker 1: and they're going, all right, well, how come my kid
Speaker 1: can't go to school because the air conditioner doesn't work?
Speaker 1: What's up with that, especially when all that COVID money.
Speaker 1: I saw that COVID money, How is that happening? And
Speaker 1: then you find solutions for that, And your solution is,
Speaker 1: we need a bunch more money. We're gonna wait for
Speaker 1: the voters to give it to us, and there's gonna
Speaker 1: be no accountability for what happened to those COVID dollars.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna we're going to kick and scream and
Speaker 1: have these meltdowns during our comments section, which I don't know.
Speaker 2: Feel like they violate literally the laws.
Speaker 1: A member of Congress couldn't do that, a member of
Speaker 1: the Cabinet couldn't do that. But that's what we're going
Speaker 1: to do, and they we're gonna have our You know,
Speaker 1: she's not even the worst. The wait till I play
Speaker 1: the audio from the other dude from you for you,
Speaker 1: he's already had to apologize for his comments. And now
Speaker 1: ask yourself, during these changes, whether you like them or not,
Speaker 1: is this school board going to adapt and overcome in
Speaker 1: a way that protects the core principles of what they're
Speaker 1: trying to do, or are they going to make any
Speaker 1: cuts they have to do ugly to prove a point
Speaker 1: so that they can blame it on Trump, right, some
Speaker 1: stuff that's really out there. Meanwhile, all you're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out is my kid's school open today, is going
Speaker 1: to be open tomorrow.
Speaker 2: What are we going to do with this?
Speaker 1: Whether what changes in my daily routine are we going
Speaker 1: to have to make? Those are the immediate needs that
Speaker 1: people have instead your your rant like lunatics and having
Speaker 1: to apologize and insulting all the white men, as you'll
Speaker 1: hear in the Hershey audio, just sheer lunacy. All right,
Speaker 1: six eighteen. We got more on this, We get calls,
Speaker 1: we got you know, unlike with the last president, it's
Speaker 1: like every day this president's out there, he's talking about something.
Speaker 1: So we'll share that with you. Mark Hampiell's story is
Speaker 1: so dumb. We'll get to it though, anyway, lots to
Speaker 1: get to six nineteen. Hang on, I'm going to play
Speaker 1: this Hershey audio one more time because.
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on here.
Speaker 1: A lot going on, like the the sheer arrogance in
Speaker 1: the entirety of this statement.
Speaker 6: Black History Month, I think it's a good time to
Speaker 6: talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and I really want
Speaker 6: to highlight as doctor man mentionine we're celebrating two fifty
Speaker 6: next year.
Speaker 2: That for two.
Speaker 6: Hundred and fifty years, I think it's really important to
Speaker 6: talk about people being hired based on their skin color.
Speaker 6: And for two hundred and fifty years it has been
Speaker 6: mediocre white men.
Speaker 2: Who have been hired based on right.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and again this is the inability to
Speaker 1: separate modern society with this this idea. What's crazy is
Speaker 1: you remember the audio we had the other day of
Speaker 1: the new Hanover County in fact Ross We put that
Speaker 1: up of the guy down in Wilmington, right, who is
Speaker 1: who's convinced that our schools are less segregated now than
Speaker 1: they were during you know, when they were literally integrating
Speaker 1: schools with the use of the National Guard. All Right,
Speaker 1: So on one end of the state, down there in Wilmington,
Speaker 1: you have this woke school board members convinced of this. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you have this Wake County school board member who along
Speaker 1: with his colleagues, is having tantrums over not being able
Speaker 1: to do their DEI stuff. All right, I'll play the
Speaker 1: other audio here in the moment. Let's finish with Hershey,
Speaker 1: just because I want to break a few things down.
Speaker 6: On their skin color, and those are facts. I mean,
Speaker 6: that's that's you know, I've heard people say DEI is racist.
Speaker 6: If that's what you believe, you know nothing about diversity
Speaker 6: equity inclusion, and you know nothing about you, and that
Speaker 6: speaks to you as a human being. You know, within
Speaker 6: Waite County, how does that how does that impact a
Speaker 6: school system? It's ensuring diversity, equity inclusion ensures that our
Speaker 6: kids who need more help get more help. It ensures
Speaker 6: that kids are black and brown kids who have not
Speaker 6: had the same educational opportunities over the course of the
Speaker 6: two hundred and forty nine years.
Speaker 1: All right, but we're not talking about the two hundred
Speaker 1: and forty nine years. I want to talk about modern society.
Speaker 1: In fact, let's just talk about during your tenure as
Speaker 1: a school board member, just this generation of kids. Are
Speaker 1: you telling me that the same educational opportunities are not
Speaker 1: or have not been available in just just take the
Speaker 1: time I've been alive, right, and in my forty plus
Speaker 1: years on this planet. Are you saying that that hasn't
Speaker 1: existed in Wait County schools? Because the math doesn't math there.
Speaker 1: We've had every moment of my life, we've had these
Speaker 1: established civil rights laws for every moment that I've been alive.
Speaker 1: So inherently, if you're going to prioritize hiring so that
Speaker 1: you have the representation that you feel is necessary, then
Speaker 1: by definition, you are using a racial component in your
Speaker 1: hiring process or the establishment of different programs. That's why
Speaker 1: they say that it's racist, because the only way to
Speaker 1: achieve it is through a quota of some sort, especially
Speaker 1: for an industry that they say that they have trouble
Speaker 1: historically recruiting for. I mean, that's great, and yes, I
Speaker 1: understand that component too, right, that pairing the right teacher
Speaker 1: with the right student could have a big impact doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily have to be race. It's why some teachers resonate
Speaker 1: with kids more than other teachers. And then you start
Speaker 1: to see a pattern there and you realize it's not
Speaker 1: necessarily because of who.
Speaker 2: They are on the outside. It's how they go about
Speaker 2: their job.
Speaker 1: The biggest delineation between the quality of teachers I've had
Speaker 1: has really been an emotional component and not their background,
Speaker 1: ability to connect with kids, them being good at their job.
Speaker 1: A meritocracy, and it is that meritocracy that you're arguing against.
Speaker 1: So you can achieve certain components. You can argue that
Speaker 1: you think your process yields better educational results, but you
Speaker 1: can't deny that it's a process that prioritizes people based
Speaker 1: on their protected characteristics. So no, I'm not an idiot
Speaker 1: for recognizing that. And for you to then have to
Speaker 1: throw the well, you're all dumb, you're all racist, you
Speaker 1: just don't get it in there means you can't even
Speaker 1: explain why you're right.
Speaker 2: You can just throw these things out of.
Speaker 6: This country get those opportunities, and it's without lowering standards.
Speaker 6: That's the thing that drives.
Speaker 1: But it inherently is it doesn't mean that that person
Speaker 1: who you're excited to get because they look like the
Speaker 1: students that you feel that they need to are they
Speaker 1: the best person for that job. And if they're not,
Speaker 1: then inherently they're lowing standards. And I mean based on meritocracy,
Speaker 1: not on skin color. So just because just because you're
Speaker 1: going to sit.
Speaker 2: Here and argue that it's not doesn't make it.
Speaker 6: So that's the most that's being real. And I've said
Speaker 6: this before. People who throw around DEI higher is they're
Speaker 6: just replacing the N word with DEI higher.
Speaker 1: But you just said there's nothing wrong with DEI, So
Speaker 1: why then if somebody adds the word higher after it?
Speaker 1: Is it now you know language or the klan or whatever?
Speaker 1: Do you hear yourself?
Speaker 6: That's what they want to say.
Speaker 2: We get it. You guys are all losers.
Speaker 3: Sorry, no, no, not anybody in here.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about anybody anything.
Speaker 1: Right, But a lot of those losers are the parents
Speaker 1: who feel that way, who are looking at the quality
Speaker 1: of the education they're getting and going, why why is
Speaker 1: my kids test scores not getting any better? What's going
Speaker 1: on here? Why is there so much remedial stuff that
Speaker 1: needs to happen? What are we prioritizing here? And now
Speaker 1: you're playing this dangerous game where you're literally ready to
Speaker 1: imperil federal funding because I feel like you want the
Speaker 1: moment where you can do something horrible and cut something
Speaker 1: horrible and then pretend like you had no other choice
Speaker 1: because Trump made you do it for the political points.
Speaker 1: Because it's at that moment you're no longer prioritizing the
Speaker 1: quality of the education the resources that you have to
Speaker 1: work with, which you have arbitrarily diminished through your own behavior.
Speaker 1: You've not prioritized that, You've prioritized your ideology.
Speaker 2: Just to make the political point. That's what's so dangerous here.
Speaker 6: It's what I hear on TV when when we had
Speaker 6: the plane crash, and and you had people on TV
Speaker 6: questioning should I be should I see a black pilot?
Speaker 7: Do I think they're I hire?
Speaker 6: No, that's racism, you know, to think that way.
Speaker 7: And I have to edit my language real quick.
Speaker 6: I was about to get in trouble with the chair.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and what you ended up getting in trouble with
Speaker 1: here's what I would be concerned. You'd get in trouble
Speaker 1: with one the people at the federal level who have
Speaker 1: said this stuff is not going to be in local
Speaker 1: government anymore, not if they're receiving federal funding.
Speaker 2: We're not going to do it. And then you going
Speaker 2: out and doing it anyway because you want to. So like,
Speaker 2: that's what's standing out to people.
Speaker 1: That's the decision that you're getting ready to make on
Speaker 1: behalf of your constituents.
Speaker 2: And I don't feel that's the decision they want.
Speaker 1: And by the way, why don't you talk to your
Speaker 1: moonbat buddy down to the south there in Wilmington, a
Speaker 1: new Hanover school board who's on CNN, Tim Merrick is
Speaker 1: his name saying this.
Speaker 2: You know, we have.
Speaker 9: Private schools and religious schools that are not regulated by
Speaker 9: the federal government the same way that our public schools are,
Speaker 9: and they are not showing better performance here in New
Speaker 9: Heater County. Fact, what they are in the schools pre
Speaker 9: performance than many of our public schools.
Speaker 2: So some of them I can't agree with that.
Speaker 9: What I can agree with is that without our federal money,
Speaker 9: we will not be taking care of our most disadvantaged students,
Speaker 9: and that is just a crisis that we cannot have.
Speaker 1: So, you know, there's a way to not interrupt that flow,
Speaker 1: and that is to not do this stuff.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: So you talk about a crisis and when you're gonna
Speaker 1: put Drkonian responses to but the easiest way.
Speaker 2: Not to do this is to not do the things
Speaker 2: that you want to do.
Speaker 1: But you can, because this is what you're literally arguing
Speaker 1: for your arguing that the federal government has this power,
Speaker 1: you just don't like when it's flexed against you.
Speaker 9: You know, we have fairly segregated schools here in North Carolina,
Speaker 9: more segregated than what they we're in nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 9: and our richest, wealthy white schools have at the end
Speaker 9: of fifth grade, they have a ninety one percent proficiency
Speaker 9: in reading, and our poorest black schools have a nine
Speaker 9: point five percent proficiency stand in reading in fifth grade.
Speaker 9: This is a sort of segregation that will be even
Speaker 9: worse without the federal guidelines that require us to take
Speaker 9: care of our most disidented students.
Speaker 1: Well, but why would that be Why would that be
Speaker 1: the case? First of all, it's not the case. We've
Speaker 1: heard from one of your colleagues and she disagrees with
Speaker 1: your numbers, And I'm glad because if you literally had
Speaker 1: that scenario, your argument was, our schools are great, except
Speaker 1: for the part where half the kids are failing, and
Speaker 1: they're because they're racially segregated. I understand you're an advocate
Speaker 1: for your district, and you just said half of you know,
Speaker 1: our kids are failing because because our schools are so segregated.
Speaker 1: But don't worry, half of them are too stupid to
Speaker 1: know what the word segregated means because we're doing such
Speaker 1: a bad job of teaching them. That's the pitch you
Speaker 1: just made for your school, your school district. And so
Speaker 1: all of these tantrums, all of these outbursts that eventually
Speaker 1: in the case of Hershey, you got to apologize for
Speaker 1: because they're just such lunacy is making the goal of
Speaker 1: teaching kids and having it stick with them.
Speaker 2: More difficult, just so that they so that.
Speaker 1: It's the reason that when the federal government shuts down,
Speaker 1: the first thing they do is close the things that
Speaker 1: are visible but least labor intensive, like the stupid stuff
Speaker 1: like we're needing humans to go and spend part of
Speaker 1: their time before the actual shutdown barricading inanimate objects in
Speaker 1: open air parks. Sorry, can't get too close to the
Speaker 1: Vietnam War memorial. You got to put these barricades up.
Speaker 1: That's the game they're going to play, and it is
Speaker 1: important that they take responsibility for it. So here is
Speaker 1: Hershey's apology. Hershey said Tuesday night at this so he
Speaker 1: sent us to the previous board meeting, and then this
Speaker 1: was last night. Hershey said he didn't mean to imply
Speaker 1: that all white men are mediocre when he suggested earlier
Speaker 1: that white men have ended up in power who didn't
Speaker 1: deserve it. And again, we're not talking about in the
Speaker 1: nineteen tens. We're talking about now.
Speaker 2: You heard the audio there, I don't have to reiterate it. Well.
Speaker 1: Many of the members of the public spoke in support
Speaker 1: of Hershey, activists, organized activists, and diversity initiatives. During the
Speaker 1: board's public comment period, many spoke against him. Eric she
Speaker 1: Up heard, a district to lum who is white, said
Speaker 1: he thought Hershey was criticizing thousands of Wake County parents
Speaker 1: who are white men, and rejected the notion that all
Speaker 1: white men are mediocre. Again, the only mediocre white man
Speaker 1: I see in this thing is Hershey, and mediocre might
Speaker 1: be giving him too much credit. Hershey, uh said, And
Speaker 1: here's here's the quote. To mister Shepherd and those who
Speaker 1: thought I demean them, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Well, but you did.
Speaker 1: It's not that they thought you did, it's that you did,
Speaker 1: And I just used your own words to show that
Speaker 1: you did. Because you are a your religious radical and
Speaker 1: your religion is the EI, So you don't It's not
Speaker 1: that you don't know any better, it's that you don't care.
Speaker 1: You've convinced yourself you're so correct that you're willing to
Speaker 1: go ahead and throw that thing out there, and you
Speaker 1: apologize now, because I'm sure your colleagues are sitting there going, hey, loser,
Speaker 1: You're gonna You're gonna get us defunded on this stuff,
Speaker 1: like I don't even know if it's a protect his
Speaker 1: own hide the way that they have.
Speaker 2: These these these districts. So uh, let's just say well organized.
Speaker 1: Because parents sat there and went, you know what, to
Speaker 1: hell with you, I'm gonna put my kid in an
Speaker 1: alternative school. You're creating this scenario you're trying to warn
Speaker 1: people about. So I don't believe you're I don't believe
Speaker 1: you're you're genuine. For a moment, you were too smug
Speaker 1: to know it all too.
Speaker 2: I don't care what.
Speaker 1: Anyone thinks in that statement for me to believe that
Speaker 1: you saw the light here in just a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: you just realize you're playing a very dangerous game, and
Speaker 1: it's one that's about to blow up in your face.
Speaker 1: And the only people that are gonna be harmed for
Speaker 1: it maybe your future political ones, I don't care, but
Speaker 1: for the kids in Wake County schools and it it
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys had a little meeting,
Speaker 1: little strategy session among some of your party betters, and
Speaker 1: they went, ah, this is not if we do this,
Speaker 1: like we've we've already realized we're not going to win
Speaker 1: on this. So you decide to dip out like, I
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't accept your apology if you want,
Speaker 1: if you want to apologize, resign.
Speaker 2: This isn't for you.
Speaker 1: This clearly isn't for you. You've played this hand too
Speaker 1: poorly to come back from this. And the fact that
Speaker 1: your colleague then decides to throw her her name in there,
Speaker 1: going off on her little tangent. Screw it, man, Let
Speaker 1: me grab a call here, skip.
Speaker 8: What's up, hey, I just wanted to bring to your attention, Casey,
Speaker 8: that last night Wake County Public Schools put out a
Speaker 8: saying that the teachers are going to be giving the
Speaker 8: students this is like elementary school and high school too.
Speaker 8: They're going to give them up emotional screening. So a
Speaker 8: teacher that's not qualified, that's not a counselor and it
Speaker 8: you know, and they by chance could be a moon
Speaker 8: back like you say, you know, are going to label
Speaker 8: these children as sad and emotional and something's happening at home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the purpose. They're trying to test mental health
Speaker 1: as it pertains to suicide prevention or I mean, what's
Speaker 1: the law?
Speaker 8: No, it's just a thing. An email came out last night,
Speaker 8: and you could opt your child out of it.
Speaker 2: But a lot of people do you have a copy
Speaker 2: of the emails?
Speaker 8: No, I don't. I'm from the car right now, but uh,
Speaker 8: they you could opt out. But I'm just saying a
Speaker 8: teacher you know, wait, wait, county school teachers overworked and
Speaker 8: underpaid and they're not qualified to be labeling. You know,
Speaker 8: a student, you know, they're they're there, they're.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking if I'm wanting to know the
Speaker 1: reasoning for it, if it's a suicide prevention things like,
Speaker 1: I want to understand it before I criticize.
Speaker 2: It does sound weird to me, So I'm gonna let
Speaker 2: me say this.
Speaker 1: If there's somebody listening and you got to copy this email,
Speaker 1: if you'll forward it to me, I'd love to see it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe a parent out there can send it
Speaker 1: at k C on the radio works or you know
Speaker 1: it's at Casey on the radio. Put case there, CA
Speaker 1: C O D E A at iHeartMedia and forward the
Speaker 1: email to me.
Speaker 2: I'd love to see it.
Speaker 8: So yeah, that would be awesome to bring attention to
Speaker 8: it because we're you know, a lot's going on you know,
Speaker 8: on all over the country, and our attention has drawn
Speaker 8: all over the world. And yeah, there's there's a lot
Speaker 8: of bad things going on, you know at Wade County.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, and that's why, and thank you for
Speaker 2: the call. That's why.
Speaker 1: Unlike mister Hershey here, I'll do my due diligence because
Speaker 1: maybe it's a thing that's sent out every year as
Speaker 1: part of the National Suicide Prevention Program. I don't know,
Speaker 1: and I'm not necessarily opposed to try to understand if
Speaker 1: there is an emotional problem with the student, considering some
Speaker 1: of the tragedies that that it's it's gone to. But
Speaker 1: I just I don't inherently trust them as to why
Speaker 1: they're gathering that information, like because I see who's running
Speaker 1: things over there, and I don't inherently trust those people.
Speaker 2: I don't trust Edmunds or Hershey. I trust them to
Speaker 2: try to do things they want to do. We'll be back.
Speaker 2: So he's asking me questions at the DMVs open. How
Speaker 2: would I know, Sir.
Speaker 1: Churt's on their website freshly updated for you. All right,
Speaker 1: let me get let me get over to this. So
Speaker 1: there is a production of Jesus Christ Superstar The musical production.
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it's pretty good. You've never seen it, obviously,
Speaker 1: you can you can watch the you know the there's
Speaker 1: there's movie versions of it. But it's it's been a
Speaker 1: long running thing. And they're gonna be doing a production
Speaker 1: that is set to run at actually the Hollywood Bowl
Speaker 1: this summer and it will culminate in a big broadcast
Speaker 1: for everyone. And so they're gonna They're gonna go ahead
Speaker 1: and do this thing. So why is it in the news? Okay,
Speaker 1: is it in the news because it was announced yesterday
Speaker 1: who will be playing well Jesus in the production again
Speaker 1: set to run this summer at the Hollywood Bowl and
Speaker 1: be part of a big special. Which way is it.
Speaker 1: NBC is doing it, one of the networks is doing it.
Speaker 1: So what will stand out? Well, it will be the
Speaker 1: the announcement that Cynthia Arivo who you If you don't
Speaker 1: know who that is, I promise you do know who
Speaker 1: it is. If you any of the insane press tour
Speaker 1: that was done for the new Wicked movie, She's the
Speaker 1: one sitting there with Ariana Grande, her emotional support skeleton.
Speaker 1: She is a She's the bald, black queer woman she's
Speaker 1: playing Jesus, which I'm sure nobody will have an issue with.
Speaker 2: And again, yeah, you're you're you're gonna run in La.
Speaker 1: There at the Hollywood Bowl. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: But this thing, this thing is not gonna do well
Speaker 1: when you go to do your big special. Hell, it
Speaker 1: may not even do well in La. You think people
Speaker 1: want to show up because you're making a political statement
Speaker 1: by hiring el Faba or el Faba or however he
Speaker 1: pronounced whatever her character's name was. People, even if it
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with who she is, they already
Speaker 1: think she's alone. Watching her and Ariana Grande pet each other.
Speaker 2: And cry promoting the Wicked movie. We all saw it.
Speaker 2: It was all so weird.
Speaker 1: We talked about it on the show over and over
Speaker 1: and over again, just for the the sheer strangeness of
Speaker 1: it all. And you know, you can't tell me that
Speaker 1: there's not a single actor out there who could more
Speaker 1: effectively play Jesus. You're you're having her play it because
Speaker 1: you want the reaction from people, And unfortunately you're going
Speaker 1: to get the reaction because people ain't gonna go see this.
Speaker 1: And even if they're not gonna, you know, they were
Speaker 1: going to travel there. As soon as you stick it
Speaker 1: up as especially, you know, one night special on whatever
Speaker 1: network they're going to put it on, people are gonna
Speaker 1: even if they never do any research, they're going to
Speaker 1: tap out by about you know, the.
Speaker 2: First time Jesus appears on the stage, you're gonna go, oh,
Speaker 2: hell no, we're not doing this.
Speaker 1: You want you want to show you want me to you,
Speaker 1: you want to show me that this isn't some stunt.
Speaker 1: Have her play Mohammed in something.
Speaker 3: Go ahead.
Speaker 2: And then stick it up on a network. Let me
Speaker 2: know how that goes for you. But you won't do it.
Speaker 1: You'll do it because here the reaction that you'll get
Speaker 1: are people that you can sit there and call racist
Speaker 1: or bigots or any of the rest, even though you
Speaker 1: know full well that you're just doing this to insult
Speaker 1: a bunch of people.
Speaker 2: So it will have its intended effect. It will again
Speaker 2: be a thing.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this more tomorrow in depth with Stephen Kent,
Speaker 1: our official entertainment slash NERD correspondent. But give me a break,
Speaker 1: and then then if that's special is something that errors
Speaker 1: towards Christmas, good luck with that too. Let me know
Speaker 1: how that goes. You know you should put in it too?
Speaker 1: Is Mark Hamill? Have him play Jesus and then he
Speaker 1: could just drop trout over and over again throughout the
Speaker 1: entire production. What the hell's going on with Mark Hamill?
Speaker 1: Other than him being an absolute lunatic? What the hell's
Speaker 1: going on with Mark Hamill? If you haven't seen this
Speaker 1: by now. So Hammill's doing the Baff Does.
Speaker 2: Which is I guess kind of the.
Speaker 1: The Academy Awards of the Brits. He usually precedes our
Speaker 1: own Academy Awards by a week or two, which it
Speaker 1: is here the US Academy Awards coming.
Speaker 2: Up with like two weeks, three weeks or something.
Speaker 1: I don't have it on my calendar. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to watch it. And then Ross can't watch it.
Speaker 1: He had a thing come up.
Speaker 2: We don't know what it is, but.
Speaker 1: But for the Baff Does, which I didn't watch any
Speaker 1: I did see this clip floating around. So Mark Hamill
Speaker 1: gets I don't even know why he's standing up. What's
Speaker 1: he standing up for? Is he given an award? I
Speaker 1: think he's given an award? Right, you're not getting one.
Speaker 1: So he's standing up and he's gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: do his award thing, and I'll just let him play
Speaker 1: the audio for you and I'll tell you what happens.
Speaker 10: So what makes us love cinema so much that we're
Speaker 10: all gathered here to celebrate tonight, for me is that
Speaker 10: films create world so vivid and stories so powerful that
Speaker 10: we lose ourselves in them completely. They create immersive, cinematic
Speaker 10: landscapes that feel alive, whether they're set here in London.
Speaker 1: So what happens is and it's it's you don't necessarily
Speaker 1: hear it so much from the audio, but you can
Speaker 1: hear him just get a little shaky in his delivery there.
Speaker 2: That's because his pants just fell down, right, I mean little.
Speaker 2: I mean they they dropped to his knees.
Speaker 5: And he's pulling it back up and try to like
Speaker 5: adjust the belt and stuff. And he's like looking on
Speaker 5: the back and pulling up the back and it's and
Speaker 5: he's looking rough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: I was gonna he's seventy three, but like he's not
Speaker 1: a good seventy three right now.
Speaker 5: No, he's looking pretty rough.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's something you think it's just bad diet,
Speaker 1: or do you think it's just because he he has
Speaker 1: to be a ball of nerves because he's just so angry.
Speaker 5: I think it's like stress and diet. And you know,
Speaker 5: it's some point on the Twitter. Either take care of yourself,
Speaker 5: you know, you either take care of yourself or you don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but plants that don't fall down even if you're fat.
Speaker 5: I'm sure he's super stressed. Who didn't his house burn
Speaker 5: down recently too?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Was he one who lost his h And I don't
Speaker 1: wish that on him, even though I think he's a lunatic.
Speaker 1: But like this, because the here was the explanation basically,
Speaker 1: and by the way, who did he then flashes junk
Speaker 1: to Apparently Timothy Challowmey, Ariana Grande and Adrian Brody were
Speaker 1: literally sitting like right at eye level with his business, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, if he was, if it was really funny,
Speaker 1: he would have stopped and then and then and then
Speaker 1: you know, waved his hand like he's using the forest.
Speaker 1: Go that is not my penis you're looking at, right,
Speaker 1: But he didn't do that. That at least would have
Speaker 1: been hilarious. But maybe in the UK you can go
Speaker 1: ahead and expose yourself like that, like getting a pair
Speaker 1: of pants, like, I lost a bunch of weight this summer,
Speaker 1: and Ross you went through this too, obviously much to
Speaker 1: it to a much greater extent I had. There's a
Speaker 1: couple pairs of pants that I used to wear that
Speaker 1: look clownish on me now, and I couldn't if I
Speaker 1: didn't have a belt.
Speaker 2: There's no way I could wear it.
Speaker 1: I haven't worn him for a while because they just
Speaker 1: look too baggy, and I guess that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: But even if I wanted to wear them, I would
Speaker 1: just put a belt on. So this idea that quote,
Speaker 1: it looked like his pants were too big for him. Hey,
Speaker 1: you have people that because of how people dress all crazily.
Speaker 1: You have literal wardrobe people there. And so if you're
Speaker 1: running into a situation where unless you're holding your pants
Speaker 1: with both hands, they fall down, go talk to somebody
Speaker 1: a belt.
Speaker 5: Were you doing something like pervy backstage before you went on?
Speaker 2: Well there's that what's going on there?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he starts speaking and you can literally see the stars, right,
Speaker 2: the actors that I just mentioned like looking at you
Speaker 2: other They're like, oh my gosh, what's going on here?
Speaker 2: This is not the sports car you're looking for.
Speaker 1: Right, play it off as a joke. You're Mark Campbell
Speaker 1: got all that material at the ready man.
Speaker 5: But like you said, he's like, look of rough. He
Speaker 5: looks like he's like, he looks homeless.
Speaker 2: Look bit, he looks like a homeless dude.
Speaker 1: They jammed into a really nice suit, right, yeah, just
Speaker 1: not one with a belt apparently.
Speaker 2: All right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 2: seven four.
Speaker 1: So are you excited about the new black queer female
Speaker 1: Jesus played by actress Cynthia A.
Speaker 2: Revo, the one of the weirdos from Wicked Again, it
Speaker 2: was those press those press interviews will haunt me forever. Now, Mark,
Speaker 2: we're looking with Hamil's pants.
Speaker 5: We're looking for something to watch yesterday and Mark, he
Speaker 5: was flipping third She's like, what about the new Wicked movie?
Speaker 5: And it went back to what we said before. I said,
Speaker 5: I can't do it, and I would have given it
Speaker 5: a shop before, but because those weird pressers where they're
Speaker 5: crying each other, I'm like, I just can't do it
Speaker 5: because that's I'm gonna be. My brain will be focused
Speaker 5: on that the entire time.
Speaker 1: The time and then by the way, it's it's the
Speaker 1: Wicked movie. If you're into Wicked. It apparently did what
Speaker 1: it was supposed to do, right, It made money. A
Speaker 1: lot of people said it didn't bomb.
Speaker 2: Even with that oddity there.
Speaker 1: But unless you're really a fan of that genre, you're
Speaker 1: left with what Ross is talking about. The only thing
Speaker 1: that you remember, even though it's got like Jeff Goldblum
Speaker 1: and some others in it, that apparently did normal press
Speaker 1: to hers is watching those two weirdos pet each other
Speaker 1: and cry, I don't even know what. And I saw
Speaker 1: Ariana Grande doing something they had her doing some press
Speaker 1: the other day where she was.
Speaker 8: Like she was she was.
Speaker 1: Upset because she thinks people are thinking she questioned the
Speaker 1: moon landing or something like.
Speaker 2: None of it made sense.
Speaker 5: I'd rather watch the new vampire, the Ness Feradu movie,
Speaker 5: and I've seen the final scene on social media with
Speaker 5: that movie. Have you seen the final scene?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 5: Like the rotting away vampire with his with the woman
Speaker 5: whatever it said, there's a scene. I rather watch the
Speaker 5: Nests Varada movie than the Wicked movie though, because of
Speaker 5: the presser.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't even know what the scene is.
Speaker 5: Tell us more, I will tell you off the air.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 2: Well now I can't wait.
Speaker 5: That is sexy? Is it?
Speaker 1: I know nothing about it. I knew that they had
Speaker 1: the new movie. I didn't know that there was controversy
Speaker 1: with the scene.
Speaker 5: It has to be a sexy for someone, I'm sure.
Speaker 5: I'm sure. No, no, oh no, gross.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, Well, I'm gonna go find out and
Speaker 2: then I may. I may not tell you right away
Speaker 2: because I want to spoil it, but I will give
Speaker 2: you my.
Speaker 1: My reaction to this. I'm sure it'll be positive. So
Speaker 1: let's do this seven seventeen. I'm gonna go get spoiled.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's that's the scene huh in the new Ness
Speaker 1: Fratto movie. Well, that's quite a bit of an update
Speaker 1: from the original which I have seen. So Ross is
Speaker 1: just telling me, Yeah, that's probably a good thing. You
Speaker 1: didn't tell me that on the air. That's quite the
Speaker 1: uh quite the love scene there. Uh all right, yeah, probably.
Speaker 1: I don't need to say I understand that way I
Speaker 1: would have influenced your thing. I'm not trying to be
Speaker 1: quiet with you. I don't think I can explain that
Speaker 1: on the air to you. The thing that just Ross
Speaker 1: just told me so, just to just to be clear.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's a scene in the new, the updated Nesratu
Speaker 1: movie that is clearly not in the original movie that
Speaker 1: I remember, and it's a love scene of sorts. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So that's that's the thing that's out there.
Speaker 1: Speaking of upcoming entertainment, Ross's favorite magician, David Blaine, has
Speaker 1: a new six episode special called Do Not Attempt. So
Speaker 1: the way it's gonna work like this is, and I
Speaker 1: just to be clear, I'm I'm being sarcastic. Ross hates
Speaker 1: David Blaine because what's the beef? Because he's basically not
Speaker 1: a magician, right, It's all weird stunts. It's not magician stuff.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's pretty good as some of the close
Speaker 5: up magic, but a lot of his like big spectacle stuff,
Speaker 5: I was never really impressed by it.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, that's basically this thing's gonna air on that GEO
Speaker 1: also streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu. Hear about a
Speaker 1: month from now, it'll post let's see here, And in
Speaker 1: the in the trailer you see that they're gonna do
Speaker 1: a different stunt for each episode. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they'll also have part where he does the close up
Speaker 1: magic to Ross's point is fine, Yeah, him doing street magic,
Speaker 1: him and Chris Angel, like, you know, that really built
Speaker 1: that whole apparatus there, and that's fine. But when you
Speaker 1: get into the big stunt stuff, the question is is
Speaker 1: it magic or is it just Hollywood stunt stuff? Because
Speaker 1: like episode one, he'll set his whole body on fire.
Speaker 1: Well that's not new, right, stuntman have been doing that
Speaker 1: for quite some time. Episode two, he'll kiss a dead
Speaker 1: king Kobra.
Speaker 2: Is that magic?
Speaker 1: Episode three he'll walk underneath a frozen sheet of ice.
Speaker 2: People do that already.
Speaker 1: I guess the twist is this thing, I'll just have
Speaker 1: a huge budget. So he's literally flying all over the
Speaker 1: world doing stuff. One of the cuts in the trailer,
Speaker 1: he shoves a knife up his nose into his brain,
Speaker 1: except probably he didn't because you know fake knives things
Speaker 1: like that. Like, I don't does it hold? Does it
Speaker 1: hold the attention of the viewer? And I don't know,
Speaker 1: But coming up March twenty third, you can find out.
Speaker 1: The sixth episode series takes Blaine across the planet to
Speaker 1: exotic and remote locales like Brazil, Japan, South Africa, and
Speaker 1: the Arctic Circle.
Speaker 5: I just feel like, remember when we were kids, that
Speaker 5: it was like every year you would have like the
Speaker 5: different David Copperfield special in tea, right, and it was
Speaker 5: a big event.
Speaker 2: Because the inn, this elephant disappeared.
Speaker 5: About you at Liberty or walk through the Great Wall
Speaker 5: of China, and it was something crazy every year. I
Speaker 5: think that was like the peak for magic because now
Speaker 5: you compared to David playing, it's like back in the
Speaker 5: nineties too, we had like Michael Jordan. That was the
Speaker 5: peak right all downhill since then, and then Lebron completely
Speaker 5: ruined the NBA, But that's a different story. I just
Speaker 5: maybe Hollywood and CGI sort of killed the magic industry.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, no, probably, And plus you had
Speaker 1: a limited amount of it, yeah, because I mean I
Speaker 1: could tell you I've tried Show and Lincoln the old
Speaker 1: David Copperfield stuff, and he's not impressed by it because
Speaker 1: he's like, dude, I just watched the last.
Speaker 5: Marvel movie and they were doing incredible stuff and that
Speaker 5: what's the difference.
Speaker 2: Well, I just it's it's the difference is is now,
Speaker 2: if I want to go watch a magician work, I'm
Speaker 2: I have every I have all of it at my fingertips, right,
Speaker 2: all right, dude, He's gonna be unbearable today. Ross did
Speaker 2: you see you see that? Elon mush retweeted Jamal's video.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I saw you were probably getting tagged
Speaker 1: this more rust been very busy trying to dub some
Speaker 1: stuff in. So yeah, so Jamal, who, I'm sure if
Speaker 1: you've listened any of you, you've listened to the shows,
Speaker 1: you know, call in. So Elon Musk retweeted a video
Speaker 1: of his many views does this thing have? Basically the
Speaker 1: video is you know, he not surprised if you're out
Speaker 1: protesting against Trump because it's all people who didn't vote.
Speaker 2: For Trump and they're mad at Elon. Yeah, pretty standard stuff.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so let's see how many many clicks is
Speaker 2: this thing?
Speaker 5: It's got three point eight million views.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go. That's what I was looking for.
Speaker 1: Three point eight million views. And by the way, that's
Speaker 1: just on I think that's just is that just on
Speaker 1: the Yeah, And that's in addition to where Musk saw
Speaker 1: this video, which was another account because he quote tweeted
Speaker 1: it or whatever and on there it's got three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty four thousand.
Speaker 5: So but but it sucks because he didn't do the
Speaker 5: actual retweet quote thing. He did the thing where you
Speaker 5: steal the video and you post it, so Jamal's not
Speaker 5: tagged in it. So then Jamal had to make a
Speaker 5: video saying, hey, this is my video that I was
Speaker 5: tagged in.
Speaker 2: Understand what is the proper rule there?
Speaker 1: Because when you right click, right you hold down, you
Speaker 1: I don't do it includes the author of.
Speaker 2: The video, but the origine case, the original author the.
Speaker 1: Video, the video that Elon took is a is a
Speaker 1: guy who clearly took Jamal's video but didn't credit him.
Speaker 5: Correct. Correct, So the original one is some dude named Tony. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and then it's just a video of Jamal, you know,
Speaker 5: yelling in his car about how he voted for Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah his size matters ammunition shirt, yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's no actual tag there, so I'm super pissed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that Tony dude lifted the video, which takes
Speaker 1: which takes time to lift the video.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then Elon did the thing where you're not
Speaker 5: actually hitting retweet or quote for some reason because you
Speaker 5: want the attention. And then but once again you're not
Speaker 5: tagged in it. So then Jamal had to be like, hey,
Speaker 5: check it out. I was actually reposted by Elon. But
Speaker 5: I'm not going to get any of the benefits of it,
Speaker 5: damn it. I would be so pissed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but but here, so here's the thing, so
Speaker 2: that the problem, dude is Tony not Elon.
Speaker 5: Right, correct? Correct? Yeah, I just but even Elon did
Speaker 5: maybe maybe it is quite twote.
Speaker 2: Quote tweet, quote tweet.
Speaker 5: Yeah it is, y, Yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 1: If you click over the actual Elon tweet, if you
Speaker 1: go into it, you can't see it unless you click
Speaker 1: through to it. So not where Jamal's requoted retweeted. It
Speaker 1: go to the actual Elon tweet and then you see
Speaker 1: the Tony where it would have said Jamal had he
Speaker 1: gotten it from Jamal's account, so the tag would have
Speaker 1: been there. And I see people go, well, that's not
Speaker 1: how you should do videos, And I'm like, then why
Speaker 1: does the system exist, like.
Speaker 5: So people can benefit from it? But I mean, I
Speaker 5: I the retweet in the quote button are there for
Speaker 5: a reason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I totally agree with you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally a lot of people they do that and
Speaker 5: they try to make it look like it's their content.
Speaker 5: It's annoying to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm always I'm always cognizant even kid.
Speaker 1: The only problem with the video is if it's a
Speaker 1: video in response to something else, and then now you're
Speaker 1: the third layer that if you quote tweet it, people
Speaker 1: don't understand the comment because you may be commenting on
Speaker 1: an interaction there. So I don't know, but I just
Speaker 1: so I tweeted it out. I tweeted Elon's quote, tweeted
Speaker 1: Elon's I just said, guess who's going to be unbearable today.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's Jamal calling because we're talking about him. His
Speaker 1: ears are burning, so whatever, But well that's the thing.
Speaker 1: And I just retweeted on the show accounts. You can
Speaker 1: go to act Casey on the radio and check that
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't I don't like.
Speaker 1: I don't understand the whole process. They're clearly what Tony
Speaker 1: did here by just lifting the video. That's that's not fair,
Speaker 1: that's not right.
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 1: But the way that Elon did it is the way
Speaker 1: that it's supposed to work. But unfortunately, when there's a
Speaker 1: breakdown in the chain.
Speaker 2: Ahead of it. So, oh is that okay? All right? Yes, Jamal?
Speaker 2: What can I do for you?
Speaker 8: Kac? Look, I didn't even know that Elon twitted because
Speaker 8: I just joined TikTok like Saturday. I just literally just
Speaker 8: joined TikTok Saturday because a friend of mine who does motorcycles,
Speaker 8: like man Jamal, some people show your videos they just
Speaker 8: tried and so I tried it so day before, so
Speaker 8: yesterday before yesterday, what I did was that video has
Speaker 8: been on Twitter almost almost two weeks, that youth, it
Speaker 8: has been almost on Twitter almost by a week. And
Speaker 8: I posted a video on you on on tik TikTok
Speaker 8: and this thing, I'm like, whoa, this thing man is
Speaker 8: gonna pop over here on TikTok. It is going on
Speaker 8: X and with somebody's like Jamal Elon Shard And when
Speaker 8: I went through, he shared the one from TikTok, not
Speaker 8: the one from the page which I have posted on
Speaker 8: my page on X man Casey you talking about and
Speaker 8: I had to tag y'all to it because I'm like,
Speaker 8: know what, I always remember where I started from. I
Speaker 8: always remember the people who gave me a chance and
Speaker 8: opportunity to get out here and speak. And it was
Speaker 8: Casey o Day's morning show walk He's KC. So I
Speaker 8: owe y'all that. So and I'm like whaa lookd this
Speaker 8: and it was what I was talking about that. Oh
Speaker 8: and I think Elon didn't see that, Jail. I saw
Speaker 8: it black folks who who on seeing INN and its NBC.
Speaker 8: And when I said black folks, all if you see
Speaker 8: the black folk on, I just said blacks on TV,
Speaker 8: they have they approved talking points from the Democrat Party.
Speaker 8: All of them have the same grievans, all of them
Speaker 8: have the same pain, and all of them agree by
Speaker 8: the Democrat Party. So that's in the video.
Speaker 1: Two people are people who arguably would be politically opposed
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: Are they dealing with the video well? Or are they
Speaker 2: saying mean things to you?
Speaker 8: Always I'm saying, oh, look this point. They most of
Speaker 8: them are, even because the majority of blow I mean
Speaker 8: always have your majority of black men who see me
Speaker 8: and see the videos, they'll be like, do your thing, man,
Speaker 8: you need to calm it down. From it's majority black
Speaker 8: ones who see that you're talking about that Democrat baby, dad,
Speaker 8: stop Democrat baby again with seconds all that good stuff.
Speaker 8: We hate you. That's how most the black women act,
Speaker 8: WoT me, But black men it's whatever whatever you do,
Speaker 8: you do, and that's how it is.
Speaker 1: Well, I saw one of the funniest pulling statistics is
Speaker 1: when they is I saw them interviewing black male voters
Speaker 1: who literally were spite voting against black women because they
Speaker 1: wouldn't leave them alone oh over voting for Kamala And
Speaker 1: it was very funny to watch the uh, their honest
Speaker 1: reactions to it.
Speaker 2: So all right, oh well that's what I thought. Life
Speaker 2: hearing about it.
Speaker 8: You know what, here's the thing. My wife she's okay
Speaker 8: because she saw I did a video that popular. I said,
Speaker 8: why why me, a black father with two black daughters
Speaker 8: aren't voting for Kamala Harris. That video went popular as well,
Speaker 8: and before YouTube took my page. Now, but that video
Speaker 8: went well, and a lot of black men said, I agree.
Speaker 8: While you got every time you show a black woman
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris, while you got to show them twerking, blue
Speaker 8: shaking and all that. But but you claim black women,
Speaker 8: which is a lot. Black women are the most educated. No,
Speaker 8: black women on the most enrolled, not the most educated.
Speaker 8: Any statistical break that down. So that's a lot. But
Speaker 8: that's the lot they tell people in black churches and stuff.
Speaker 8: Oh black women are the most educated, They're not Asians.
Speaker 8: White women still dominate that dominated. But my wife she's
Speaker 8: okay with it. That's one thing about And a lot
Speaker 8: of people don't know. When I have to go do
Speaker 8: speeches or something, my wife get my kids together, she's
Speaker 8: there too. But a lot everybody keep cleaning your wife
Speaker 8: fans white. The first thing black folks want to try
Speaker 8: to do is always try to somehow be grady feels white.
Speaker 8: So if she was Barack Obama, Mama white, you ain't
Speaker 8: got a farm with that white woman raising the black man.
Speaker 8: But my point was, my wife is Blackassesn't that my
Speaker 8: wife before? My wife? I joke, but my wife black
Speaker 8: man Asus Spade, So I'm but that's what my wife.
Speaker 8: She's okay, she's okay. All see. She ever tell me
Speaker 8: if you're telling the truth, I ain't no way I
Speaker 8: can get mad. Just don't exaggerating.
Speaker 1: Well, good, good luck, because I'm sure they're gonna try
Speaker 1: to cancel today, so we'll sell.
Speaker 8: All of course. But I'm staying clean on TikTok. I'm
Speaker 8: avoiding certain words my man told me to avoid. I
Speaker 8: think I'd be good hopefully. All right.
Speaker 2: All right, well, if people want to see the video,
Speaker 2: I retweeted Elon's tweet. There at Casey on the radio.
Speaker 2: They can check that out.
Speaker 1: All right, Jamal, appreciate the I call this morning. I'm
Speaker 1: th on with that, and then you know, deal with
Speaker 1: the lunatics.
Speaker 2: All right, seven forty four.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's see what's driving people actually lunatics.
Speaker 1: Yeah right here, so right, not say any shit coming by,
Speaker 1: but have to wake Forest up in his hood. They're
Speaker 1: they like all the soul rocks out like for two days.
Speaker 1: They've just been banging around and it's just your driving.
Speaker 5: I've never seen that before. They've been prepping the roads
Speaker 5: for two days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're getting ready.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, I don't deliver, man, If you
Speaker 1: don't deliver the city wake Forest suit you.
Speaker 12: Well, there might already be a little little snow at
Speaker 12: temperatures across the area are right around freezing and lower
Speaker 12: right now. So this little batch of pre sip coming
Speaker 12: through the Triangle and the Triad right now, especially right
Speaker 12: around and on either side of you know, Rallying points
Speaker 12: North and then Winston Salm, Greensboro points north. I was
Speaker 12: probably in the form of some snow. It's probably sticking,
Speaker 12: although that little batch comes on through. So it is
Speaker 12: snow this morning with some sleet and rain mixed in
Speaker 12: I forty in south, the better opportunities of seeing rain
Speaker 12: right around I forty and north better opportunities to see
Speaker 12: snow and.
Speaker 3: Winter weather advisories with us.
Speaker 12: So it's going to get slick, and temperatures will hover
Speaker 12: right around freezing probably all day, and that mix will
Speaker 12: continue into tonight, become more scattered this afternoon and tonight,
Speaker 12: but even tomorrow morning it's another little burst of snow
Speaker 12: showers that may try to come through. So it kind
Speaker 12: of comes in a few waves, and with temperatures this
Speaker 12: morning thirty two or lower, i'd say travel cautiously with
Speaker 12: his batch of pricip coming through right now, roads will
Speaker 12: probably slicken up pretty quick, especially if they have not
Speaker 12: been treated side streets and your driveway for example.
Speaker 3: Right there is more rain though south, so.
Speaker 12: You get down to Davidson County and head down areas
Speaker 12: to the west and south of that looks like temperatures
Speaker 12: are above freezing. So it's kind of a fine line
Speaker 12: to where you go during the day today where we'll
Speaker 12: have the snow and some sleep, and then we'll have
Speaker 12: in the rain which is further south, occasional snow tonight
Speaker 12: and tomorrow morning. As I said, more scattered, but there
Speaker 12: may be a little burst late tonight early tomorrow, and
Speaker 12: with temperatures down in the low twenties, it's gonna get
Speaker 12: icy tonight. Tomorrow morning's gonna be as the opportunity to
Speaker 12: be pretty treacherous with slush and wet road surfaces already
Speaker 12: from today and tonight freezing over and becoming icy tomorrow morning,
Speaker 12: and then mid thirties blustering cold tomorrow afternoon, teens Tomorrow night,
Speaker 12: Friday Sunnay near forty degrees. So I think today, tonight
Speaker 12: and especially early tomorrow morning, that's when we're gonna have
Speaker 12: the worst of our weather, as it'll get icy pretty quick.
Speaker 12: I think once the sun sets tonight, even this morning,
Speaker 12: we may see some slick travel winter weather advisories, I
Speaker 12: believe it or not. To the northeast again, another chance
Speaker 12: of seeing maybe four to six inches of snow in
Speaker 12: northeastern corners of the state. But I think here it's
Speaker 12: gonna be around an injured to south of I forty,
Speaker 12: probably gonna be a little bit less to just a
Speaker 12: plane rain.
Speaker 3: The further south you go, probably.
Speaker 1: Would be irresponsible to try to do a show tomorrow
Speaker 1: safety issue.
Speaker 2: Huh good.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 1: Probably would be a safety issue and irresponsible to try
Speaker 1: to do a show in the morning.
Speaker 2: Huh good. Well, I mean I'll be here, yeah, but
Speaker 2: you're not. You know you live in Atlanta. I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: like you.
Speaker 12: Know, well, I don't want to get into the back
Speaker 12: of the day. When the blizzard of ninety six, I
Speaker 12: drove up and down Hunter Mountain in my trial.
Speaker 3: I I don't know, people just forgot how to drive.
Speaker 2: It's manager, I mean you can. You just got to
Speaker 2: be careful, be speed dem very good. All right, we'll
Speaker 2: talk in an hour.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. There you go, Race Agic from the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: Good bringing the timeline to the doom and gloom and insanity. Obviously,
Speaker 1: schools have large already made their decision. Many of your
Speaker 1: kids not in schools today and obviously won't be tomorrow,
Speaker 1: probably will be the rest of the week if we
Speaker 1: get some decent snow, but we will.
Speaker 2: We will continue, all right.
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, watch out for the Bobcats.
Speaker 1: Apparently they're going crazy on the Although consider this dude's name,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want a name, shame, but like
Speaker 1: you gotta probably got a answer, bro, and this this
Speaker 1: what a damage relationship? What a what a crazy headline.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that in your calls coming up
Speaker 1: case O Day radio program. But what CNN's endgame is.
Speaker 1: So CNN decided to have a quote trans athlete on
Speaker 1: and but they wanted to set up this scenario and
Speaker 1: I think they knew exactly where it was going to go,
Speaker 1: right because they think that this puts Trump in a
Speaker 1: box somewhere and they're like, well, why won't Trump meet
Speaker 1: with this trans athlete.
Speaker 2: We'll let them come on and uh go out of
Speaker 2: the air and demand it.
Speaker 1: And it's like there's about zero but who knows, maybe
Speaker 1: it's not zero per se, because sometimes Trump will just
Speaker 1: do things because he thinks it'll be a you know,
Speaker 1: it'll be a positive or something. I don't know that
Speaker 1: there's any win here, but CNN creating this scenario so
Speaker 1: they can do follow up reports going in the Trump
Speaker 1: Administration's never answered for request what what what? What is
Speaker 1: the benefit of meeting with this individual? This is not
Speaker 1: somebody who clearly wants a debate and is willing to
Speaker 1: accept that there are people who have different.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on this. It's just the the whole thing is
Speaker 2: just gross. Let me play the audio from.
Speaker 13: This Yes, as a transgender woman in the United States
Speaker 13: at the moment, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 14: So I'm black, I'm a woman, and I'm transgender, and
Speaker 14: I'm an athlete.
Speaker 2: Your biological.
Speaker 14: Different is a target, especially in America.
Speaker 13: How has life changed or has life changed since President
Speaker 13: Trump's inauguration.
Speaker 14: I feel like a lot of the anti trans rhetoric
Speaker 14: has become louder more in my face. You know, prior
Speaker 14: to this uh set in Stone administration, I woke up
Speaker 14: every day and I face versaries when I leave my house.
Speaker 14: Now it's I wake up every day and I have
Speaker 14: to make sure that I make it home alive.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. I believe that you may think
Speaker 1: that I don't believe that somehow you're inherently in danger.
Speaker 1: What you are in danger of is not being allowed
Speaker 1: to necessarily participate in women's sports.
Speaker 2: As you have been.
Speaker 1: But it's also seemingly because you don't recognize or accept
Speaker 1: that there might be an argument against me.
Speaker 14: I feel like we could still have a conversation. However,
Speaker 14: I would like to be a part of that conversation.
Speaker 14: I am willing to sit down with the IOC, the USATF, NCUBA,
Speaker 14: with any of my international federations, even the Trump administration,
Speaker 14: Trump himself, if he wants to sit down with me
Speaker 14: and talk and have a human conversation and see me,
Speaker 14: because I feel as though social media is very loud,
Speaker 14: and to have a human sit across from you and
Speaker 14: have a conversation with them, it's very different. So I'm
Speaker 14: willing to have that conversation if they're willing to give
Speaker 14: me that chance.
Speaker 13: What would you say to President Trump? What would your
Speaker 13: message be?
Speaker 14: I need some explanation as to why you want to
Speaker 14: completely eradicate us from society when we've done nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: So last night Fox News there did in the interview
Speaker 1: a sit down with both Trump and Musk, and so
Speaker 1: you sent me email ask why I'm not playing all
Speaker 1: the audio from that today because it's coming. The interviewer
Speaker 1: was Sean Hannity. So I suspect if I had to guess,
Speaker 1: from about three to six this afternoon on this very station,
Speaker 1: you'll probably hear almost all of the interview, right, because
Speaker 1: I am sure handy you will be playing clip after
Speaker 1: clip talking about you know, what happened, how awesome is
Speaker 1: questions were whatever, So that'll be coming. Here's my takeaway though,
Speaker 1: because they did spend a lot of time on this.
Speaker 2: One of the things that.
Speaker 1: Hannity clearly explored is this narrative and I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: seen it right where you'll get some left wing podcaster
Speaker 1: or Twitter person or TikTok person right, and they're just like,
Speaker 1: and the wedge, the wedge is already coming to light.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Do they remember they were analyzing the still framed picture
Speaker 1: where Trump is sitting at a desk and Elon's standing
Speaker 1: up and he's explaining something. This was part of that
Speaker 1: Oval office thing last week, and they're like, see, look
Speaker 1: at the body language here, Musk is exerting his dominance
Speaker 1: over Trump, and Trump will never let it stand.
Speaker 2: And they have all these scenarios.
Speaker 1: The only thing I saw yesterday is a couple dudes
Speaker 1: who clearly enjoy each other.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Trump has a track record of unfriending people quite publicly,
Speaker 1: so I understand why that narrative gets going. But like,
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything in body language or discussion or
Speaker 1: anything that didn't that didn't say to me these two
Speaker 1: are having their best time ever. They're loving it to
Speaker 1: steal that from McDonald's. They're absolutely loving it, right, and
Speaker 1: it's in it, and it's clear that they understand their roles.
Speaker 2: Could they have a blow up someday, Sure, you're dealing
Speaker 2: with two You're dealing with two very very rich dudes
Speaker 2: who have had a lot of success, but.
Speaker 1: Are arguably very unified in the way that they're going
Speaker 1: about things because they both feel that they're being politically persecuted,
Speaker 1: and so they have that to write and they're not wrong, right,
Speaker 1: this whole narrative that they're they're doing right now where
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, Elon Musk went in to shut these
Speaker 1: departments down because they were all investigating him, and it's
Speaker 1: it's like, well, it's a self fulfilling prophecy, right, because
Speaker 1: they didn't start investigating him till he bought Twitter, and
Speaker 1: then he buys Twitter, and then you're telling me simultaneously,
Speaker 1: all these different departments under the old administration just they
Speaker 1: all start investigating him, and some of it for pure lunacy,
Speaker 1: like why isn't he hiring illegal migrants to do a spacework?
Speaker 1: Well he can't, and you know he can't, so you
Speaker 1: put it out there knowing that he is considered, for
Speaker 1: all practical purposes a weapons manufacturer because he's doing rocket
Speaker 1: technology and that's how we classify things. He couldn't just
Speaker 1: do that, but you don't care, and so you get that,
Speaker 1: and now we're going to investigate. And so we get
Speaker 1: nine separate investigations here, and this department is doing five more.
Speaker 1: And then when they're going through doing the dose, you're like, great,
Speaker 1: here's an opportunity to say that he's doing this. He
Speaker 1: did all of this because you want people to assume
Speaker 1: that he's trying to cover up massive corruption and you
Speaker 1: have nothing to point to that.
Speaker 2: All you have or what clear to be clearly appear
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 1: Very targeted investigations that were part of the larger law
Speaker 1: fair and you know, prosecute your political enemies. I don't
Speaker 1: even need to break down what Trump thinks he is.
Speaker 1: And people are rejecting these narratives, so you can try
Speaker 1: to drive that wedge. But I didn't see anything that
Speaker 1: backs it is part of that interview. And Sean will
Speaker 1: play all the audio, I'm sure twice, so fear not
Speaker 1: that is coming your way. Do you want to play
Speaker 1: some other audio though? Let me grab a quick phone call.
Speaker 1: Janet's been holding Jennet, go right ahead, it's ranging on.
Speaker 11: What's up that problem, casey. I was just calling in
Speaker 11: to say that as a woman who's spent my entire
Speaker 11: career in a man's world and never once dropped my
Speaker 11: knees to advance that career, it completely discusss me that
Speaker 11: Kamala was even nominated much less, but she's supported by
Speaker 11: any woman on the planet. Any will with any amount
Speaker 11: of self respect should have been insulted by her nomination.
Speaker 1: A lot of women were a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of women uh uh did take that that approach, but
Speaker 1: they didn't feel that she had earned it to be
Speaker 1: there so and can win.
Speaker 2: So you know, maybe maybe it was enough there. All right,
Speaker 2: Well maybe will retweet you Janet.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 1: Nice, Yeah, all right, get after it, do some tiktoks
Speaker 1: today or whatever. So all right, thanks for thanks for
Speaker 1: the call there. I feel like there'd be a lot
Speaker 1: of bleeping in those, but that's okay, that's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: a little little warning there.
Speaker 2: People are fine, all right, So let me let me
Speaker 2: jump over to this real quick.
Speaker 8: Do do.
Speaker 1: One of the things that Trump did do yesterday, And frankly,
Speaker 1: I think whether it's Trump or Elon or both. I
Speaker 1: think every day if they take some moment during a
Speaker 1: any sort of press conference or event just to listen
Speaker 1: off the crazy stuff they found that day in government spending,
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with that, because Trump's got a whole list.
Speaker 1: In fact, let's get the updated version show.
Speaker 7: Where's the money being spent? Right, Let's go into that
Speaker 7: for just a second. Five hundred and twenty million dollars
Speaker 7: for a consultant.
Speaker 2: On the environment.
Speaker 7: It's called Environmental, Social and Governance investments in Africa and
Speaker 7: mobilized private sector resources. Five hundred and twenty million dollars.
Speaker 7: Somebody got five hundred and twenty million dollars for an
Speaker 7: environmental sounds like an environmental studies most I've always been
Speaker 7: one study a lot of money from my environmental studies.
Speaker 7: But they you know, I played like fifty thousand dollars,
Speaker 7: not five hundred and twenty million. Five hundred and twenty
Speaker 7: million dollars for ESG Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: They a system that was created and is so complex
Speaker 1: to essentially guard businesses from not being woke if they
Speaker 1: want access capital and they have to bring somebody in
Speaker 1: to help them go through at a governmental level to
Speaker 1: make sure that they're falling in line with this for
Speaker 1: public partner private public private partnerships. A half billion dollars,
Speaker 1: again one microphone in one Democrat's face, with one example
Speaker 1: of this going.
Speaker 2: All right, I know you're saying it's all AIDS, MED
Speaker 2: and baby food, but clearly some of this money's going
Speaker 2: for this.
Speaker 1: Do you think that this is a good expenditure and
Speaker 1: then make them defend it, but no, they're not being
Speaker 1: put in that position.
Speaker 7: Twenty five million dollars to promote biodiversity conservation and promote
Speaker 7: illicit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country
Speaker 7: of Columbia. Well, it's nice. Twenty five million. Do you
Speaker 7: onto Columbia to create biomeversity?
Speaker 1: Do you understand how biodiverse the rainforest is? Do you
Speaker 1: understand how biodiverse even if you're not quote unquote in
Speaker 1: the rainforest, just being at the foot of the Andes
Speaker 1: Is and in the valleys that make up much of
Speaker 1: the country of Columbia. Bogatas sits right on the Andies
Speaker 1: matazine and those areas. More populated areas up to and
Speaker 1: including like Cali and Carctagena and some of the others
Speaker 1: are just an expansion of the river system from the Andes.
Speaker 1: It's one of the most biodiverse places in the world.
Speaker 1: What do you need a consultant in there to tell
Speaker 1: you about?
Speaker 7: I heard of forty million dollars to improve the social
Speaker 7: and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants forty million. Forty two
Speaker 7: million dollars for John Hopkins great place to research and
Speaker 7: drive social and behavior change in Uganda forty two million.
Speaker 7: What about us? What about social change in our country?
Speaker 7: Seventy million dollars for a center at Purdue to research
Speaker 7: university source evidence based solutions to develop mental challenges. I mean,
Speaker 7: these are massive numbers on things that nobody ever heard about.
Speaker 7: Ten million dollars for Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcisions.
Speaker 1: That's right, we're literally paying to chop sports cars, but
Speaker 1: not here, not here, but elsewhere elsewhere.
Speaker 2: We're paying to chop sports cars.
Speaker 7: Nine point seven million dollars for UC Berkeley to develop
Speaker 7: a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills. In
Speaker 7: other words, let's teach them something about enterprise. What about
Speaker 7: our people? Can we teach them about enterprise? Two point
Speaker 7: three million dollars for strengthening independent Voices in Cambodia, thirty
Speaker 7: two million dollars to the Prout Civil Society Center, which
Speaker 7: is a very liberal group of people.
Speaker 1: By the way, these NGOs that are that are getting
Speaker 1: gored in this situation. Every story, and I want you
Speaker 1: to track every story always leads to the same conclusion, well,
Speaker 1: now we got to shut down, we can't do this thing.
Speaker 1: We do this, and then it's not even an accurate
Speaker 1: description of what they're doing. My question is if the
Speaker 1: totality of your funding for your NGO was the money
Speaker 1: by the federal government and you don't have revenue sources
Speaker 1: from anywhere else, how are you nothing more than just
Speaker 1: a grifter at that point?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: This isn't like organizations that where this is part of
Speaker 1: their funding. They keep having these examples where it's all
Speaker 1: of their funding, because that tells me that you set
Speaker 1: up this thing purely to get a carve out from
Speaker 1: the Feds. To a sense, create essentially create yourself busy work.
Speaker 1: And if you're not actively fundraising elsewhere, I also I
Speaker 1: question your commitment to this. Why couldn't that money have
Speaker 1: been channeled through other organizations? It sounds like this was
Speaker 1: something set up, so.
Speaker 2: It was a creative job. Create an NGO.
Speaker 1: And if all your money is just this federal carve
Speaker 1: out what deep roots does your organization, your advocacy have none,
Speaker 1: none your holy and it's because you probably had somebody
Speaker 1: up the food chain is part of allocating this money
Speaker 1: who basically created this for you.
Speaker 2: This is why I said, this whole.
Speaker 1: Thing is being exposed as essentially a slush fund for
Speaker 1: Democrat pet projects. Every NGO whose totality of funding is
Speaker 1: this single line item from the federal government and now
Speaker 1: they don't choose to exist, was probably not a useful NGO,
Speaker 1: not the best way to tackle a quote unquote problem.
Speaker 2: That's what it says to me.
Speaker 7: I wonder how much of that money came back to
Speaker 7: the people that approved it. Fourteen million dollars for improving
Speaker 7: public procurement in Serbia, four hundred and eighty six million
Speaker 7: dollars to the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening,
Speaker 7: including twenty two million for inclusive and participatory political process
Speaker 7: in Moldova and twenty one million dollars for a voter
Speaker 7: turnout in India.
Speaker 2: I saw people. We were upset too, and that, well,
Speaker 2: he's just reading a list.
Speaker 1: Yes, how would you expect anyone to have a mental
Speaker 1: track of every single one of these projects? Of course
Speaker 1: he's reading a list. You know why because every item
Speaker 1: is more insane than the next one, and he wants
Speaker 1: to keep him straight. And why does he have a
Speaker 1: giant list in front of him that he could do
Speaker 1: four audio cuts worth?
Speaker 7: Well, why are we giving twenty one million dollars to India?
Speaker 7: They got a lot of money. They're the one of
Speaker 7: the highest taxing countries in the world in terms of us.
Speaker 7: We can hardly get in there because their tariffs are
Speaker 7: so high.
Speaker 2: Well, of course, what do you what do you think
Speaker 2: he's going to have to do?
Speaker 1: And he could do this every single day, and that's
Speaker 1: the bigger problem every single day. And not one question
Speaker 1: to one Democrat lawmaker going do you think this is
Speaker 1: a good use of money?
Speaker 7: It's twenty million dollars for fiscal federalism in Nepal. Listen
Speaker 7: to these numbers, he said, this is all fraud. Nineteen
Speaker 7: million dollars for biodiversity conservation in Nepal. One point five
Speaker 7: million dollars for voter confidence. We want to give them
Speaker 7: confidence in Liberia, fourteen million dollars for social cohesion in
Speaker 7: Male two point five million dollars for inclusive democracies in
Speaker 7: South Africa, forty seven million dollars for improving learning outcomes
Speaker 7: in Asia. Asians doing very well, by.
Speaker 1: The way, that money we're sending for, you know, social
Speaker 1: programs and democracy in South Africa?
Speaker 2: How's that working out right now?
Speaker 1: Redistributing land, having sing alongs about killing white farmers. Our
Speaker 1: own state department literally just expanded the ability for white
Speaker 1: South Africans to essentially claim asylum here because it's getting
Speaker 1: so icy?
Speaker 2: Is that money well spent? Doesn't sound like.
Speaker 7: They're doing a lot better than we do in the schools,
Speaker 7: aren't they? Two million dollars to develop sustainable recycling models
Speaker 7: to increase socioeconomic cohesion among marginalized communities in Kosovo.
Speaker 1: All things that are just made up so somebody can
Speaker 1: have a job. That's how the public sees this, Oh,
Speaker 1: because all it takes you know, what does your organization
Speaker 1: do we do sustainable blah blah blah in such and
Speaker 1: such place that you probably couldn't find on a map.
Speaker 1: And for the lo low price of fifteen million, only
Speaker 1: half of which are probably less actually goes to the things,
Speaker 1: and they're not even really useful things. But hey, I've
Speaker 1: got a three hundred thousand dollars year gig is ahead
Speaker 1: of this thing, and I'm living the dream and I
Speaker 1: can do all the social manipulating I want.
Speaker 7: Collie, And in Egypt, we're talking about hundreds of billions
Speaker 7: of dollars.
Speaker 6: I could.
Speaker 7: I could, by the way I read this all day long.
Speaker 7: I could go on all day long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he could do it probably every day and
Speaker 1: not repeat himself. And then he'll say something in there
Speaker 1: like you heard him say, you go, well, this is theft,
Speaker 1: and David Dale from CNN or somebody, well, we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to fact check him because it's actually not theft,
Speaker 1: because it's within the boundaries of the discretion of the
Speaker 1: head of the blah blah blah, who at the time
Speaker 1: thought it was a good use of people.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you're missing the point. While it may not
Speaker 2: technically legally be theft, people see it as theft.
Speaker 1: Just because you've manipulated the you know, the rules there,
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not a betrayal of how people thought
Speaker 1: you were spending that money. People thought foreign aid money
Speaker 1: was going for food and medicine and kids in Africa
Speaker 1: who are emaciated, who have flies in their face, Okay,
Speaker 1: because that's what people see on TV and they emotionally
Speaker 1: want to help.
Speaker 2: And I understand that, right.
Speaker 1: You see somebody who's having a really tough go of it,
Speaker 1: and emotionally you sit there and you go, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm by world standards, I've done well for myself.
Speaker 2: What can I do to help?
Speaker 1: And then you hear that these NGOs and these organizations
Speaker 1: are there, and some of them are and they're doing
Speaker 1: really important work. And it's nose to the grindstone stuff
Speaker 1: and I don't dispute that, but the rest of it
Speaker 1: is this stuff. And then when you go, hey, well
Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't have this stuff, people go, why are
Speaker 1: you trying to starve the kids? People aren't buying it.
Speaker 1: They should read these lists every day all day until
Speaker 1: one Democrat lawmaker by one mainstream media journalist is asked
Speaker 1: to justify it.
Speaker 2: I'll hold my breath, but I wouldn't join me. We'll
Speaker 2: be back.
Speaker 1: So sadly, as predicted, or at least don't predicted as
Speaker 1: much as it was a concern that was raised the
Speaker 1: remaining US hostages do not appear all to be alive.
Speaker 1: And boy, the way that ABC News chose to word
Speaker 1: this tweet, Hamas as a will release four deceased hostages
Speaker 1: Thursday and six living hostages on Saturday, both Hamas and
Speaker 1: Israel confirmed, and then four more dead hostages will be
Speaker 1: released next week.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: And it's a little bit equivling here with the language,
Speaker 1: I mean, technically releasing the bodies. But it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you could, you could word it that way, but also
Speaker 1: shouldn't that really be the main staple of the of
Speaker 1: the thing here, because it's not just quote unquote deceased
Speaker 1: dead hostages.
Speaker 2: Some would argue that those are murdered hostages. So there's that.
Speaker 1: And two of them are kids, and I don't mean
Speaker 1: like older kids, I mean like some would argue that
Speaker 1: they are babies or toddlers. You know, this this argument
Speaker 1: that we all got into of oh well they or
Speaker 1: not this videos doc during this language is inflammatory because
Speaker 1: they're totally not murdering kids.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, apparently they starved at.
Speaker 1: Least two of them to death, I think is probably
Speaker 1: what they're They're theorizing that the two youngest may have suffered.
Speaker 1: But that's what we're talking about, and that's one of
Speaker 1: the big reasons that Hamas was sitting there very hesitant
Speaker 1: to go.
Speaker 2: Along with the you know, the whole uh, the whole thing.
Speaker 2: What are they doing out there? Geez man, Sorry, there's
Speaker 2: some crazy noise going on in the periphery there.
Speaker 1: Plus Ross's studio is lit up like it's a mine
Speaker 1: expedition out in front because they have all these like
Speaker 1: standing floodlights and stuff.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 5: I came in this morning and they're like they're untripods,
Speaker 5: these giant flood lights. Yeah, hallway because it.
Speaker 1: Would use for like a work site outside somewhere, for
Speaker 1: like an archaeological dick.
Speaker 5: All the main lights are off and like the drop
Speaker 5: ceilings are off, the panels and ensie a wiring and
Speaker 5: all the plumbing and stuff. And it's just this morning
Speaker 5: from my window there was like three or four of
Speaker 5: them like focused. Oh and I came in here to
Speaker 5: read some copy for commercial and I couldn't it was
Speaker 5: so bright, like it's it's like trying to do radio
Speaker 5: from the surface of the sun. Yeah, they're also like yellow,
Speaker 5: and I feel like, I don't know, if you're familiar
Speaker 5: with it, But I feel like I'm in like Resident Evil,
Speaker 5: like in the video game where like wherever you see yellow,
Speaker 5: that's where you're supposed to go, and they go down
Speaker 5: the hallway these yellow lights.
Speaker 1: I've never seen in Resident Evil going anywhere? Was a
Speaker 1: good idea, yeah, pretty much all bad? Yes, yeah, like
Speaker 1: do you want to deal with the undead dogs or
Speaker 1: do you want to deal with the undead former dog owners? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a video game you're playing now that you're Are
Speaker 1: you still doing that thing?
Speaker 5: Kingdom Come Deliverance too? It's amazing. Okay, it's so great.
Speaker 2: Is there demon dogs in it?
Speaker 5: Or they're just regular dogs?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: It takes place in a people are telling me it's
Speaker 5: like fifteen hundreds Bohemia. I think it's like a modern
Speaker 5: day Europe simulator. But I mean we, you know, agree
Speaker 5: to disagree.
Speaker 1: Okay, he actually think modern day Europe is a lot
Speaker 1: like fifteen hundred UK.
Speaker 2: You're so okay, all right, and so what do you do?
Speaker 2: You just run around pre and knocking people all day
Speaker 2: or heating dragons?
Speaker 5: I mean, well, have no dragons? Oh no, it's like
Speaker 5: a modern day thing. Well that would be a modern Europe, right,
Speaker 5: So the dragons aren't there, I.
Speaker 1: See, okay, all right, what he's doing on his Twitch stream,
Speaker 1: they're running around, not slain dragons.
Speaker 2: So what is you're not slaying dragons? What do you do?
Speaker 2: You're doing like quest for the king or something.
Speaker 5: Or you're supposed to deliver a letter to a king,
Speaker 5: and believe it or not, everything bad that could possibly
Speaker 5: happen happen, and you end up naked in the woods
Speaker 5: running away from bandits and cover and it is modern
Speaker 5: day Europe, yeah, and covered in poop.
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh no, it's one hundred percent basically what's
Speaker 1: going on in Spain right now, right, yeah, okay, wow,
Speaker 1: the realism absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2: You don't do anything in the game like in that
Speaker 2: that nest frought to remake you just told me about. Right,
Speaker 2: that's not in the game, is it.
Speaker 5: I mean they do have bathhouses, they do, okay.
Speaker 2: All right, they have orgy boats, any orgy.
Speaker 5: But you have to come across them. Okay, it's a
Speaker 5: ten ten game. It's a great game.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 2: I'm glad, glad you're excited about that.
Speaker 1: So wouldn't would want, you know, if you don't have
Speaker 1: the money to go to modern day Europe and basically
Speaker 1: see what you know, the empire is falling.
Speaker 2: You can just play this video game that's amazing.
Speaker 1: Or or I guess you can try to fight off
Speaker 1: the rabbit attacks of Rando bobcats.
Speaker 2: What the heck's going on? In Person?
Speaker 1: County Man Greg Slaughter, who lives near Mayo Lake, suffered bites, scrapes,
Speaker 1: and claw marks from the waist up after he was
Speaker 1: attacked by a bobcat. It happened Tuesday, or actually, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: they confirmed it Tuesday, and they did confirm too, the
Speaker 1: bobcat tested positive for rabies, so you know, now he
Speaker 1: gets to deal with all the fun there. It happened
Speaker 1: around one thirty on Sunday. Slaughter said he was walking
Speaker 1: to his garage when he heard a yelp from a
Speaker 1: neighbor dog. He looks up and there's a bobcat about
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards away, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the keys in on him, and it's like, which sucks.
Speaker 1: Even though Bobcat's very small, comparably they are. They're among
Speaker 1: one of the more vicious things I've ever had to
Speaker 1: deal with.
Speaker 2: Crazy vicious. If you got one in a live trap too,
Speaker 2: watch out, man. But now you get this thing.
Speaker 1: He's all juiced up on his steroids coming after this dude,
Speaker 1: and all he can do is he's sitting there in
Speaker 1: his slippers, right, He's got to try to grab this
Speaker 1: thing is it's launching at his face.
Speaker 2: Man, So that's what he did.
Speaker 1: Slaughter said he was knocked to the ground out of
Speaker 1: his slippers, able to pin the bobcat. Here's the problem, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily knocking on you because clearly this took
Speaker 1: you by his prit Your last name is Slaughter, bro,
Speaker 1: your slaughter, that's your name, man.
Speaker 2: But you can't let you can't let.
Speaker 1: Mother nature get the best of you. You wrap all
Speaker 1: of us and your last name slaughter.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how he come back.
Speaker 2: It sounds like he did go ahead and grab a gun.
Speaker 1: And had pushed the cat away, fired a shot, didn't care,
Speaker 1: didn't hit it, and then the wildlife control was able
Speaker 1: to track it down because they're not really hiding or
Speaker 1: anything at that point because they're all again, they're all
Speaker 1: juiced up on the rabies.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 1: Godwin said, you're a big but how are you most
Speaker 1: likely to get attacked? According to h Sergeant Tim Godwin
Speaker 1: of the North Carolina Wildlife Commission. Uh, you're basically most
Speaker 1: bobcat attacks happen when hunters are in the woods pretending
Speaker 1: to be turkeys, which I guess makes sense, right, because
Speaker 1: they're like, man, what does that sounds delicious?
Speaker 2: Let's go see that thing. But for the most part,
Speaker 2: if a bobcat sees you, it ain't gonna mess with you.
Speaker 2: It just wants to get away. But yeah, you got you.
Speaker 2: You know, heal up right, get all the do all
Speaker 2: the raby stuff you gotta do. That sucks.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for you, but I feel like we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to get out there and I don't know, represent
Speaker 1: man or would take that last name from you. Get
Speaker 1: out there and remind my mother nature what the top
Speaker 1: of the food chain looks like. Hey, sometimes you got
Speaker 1: to do these things, all right? This is this is
Speaker 1: just absolute insanity. Actually, hold on, let me know if
Speaker 1: Ray's ready, because we're I need a little more time
Speaker 1: with him, and then we got fill in for Bloomberg.
Speaker 2: I will get to this story, though. Let me tease it.
Speaker 2: Do the Internet. Just take the Internet from your kids.
Speaker 1: Teen dies after injecting himself with butterfly remains as part
Speaker 1: of online challenge.
Speaker 3: Interesting, I wonder what the result of that was.
Speaker 2: Well, he died.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't catch that part.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he died.
Speaker 1: So challenge he like, hey, this really poisonous butterfly. Catch one,
Speaker 1: kill it and then mix it into a potion and
Speaker 1: then inject it into your body.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so yeah, which he did, and.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't because people don't shouldize some of these are
Speaker 1: pretty poisonous.
Speaker 3: So he just well, yeah, and the result is death,
Speaker 3: so you certainly.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't want to. But that I guess he won the challenge.
Speaker 2: So that's well, what's important.
Speaker 3: Trophy will forever stand somewhere in his honor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll fill you in on that.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, in this insanity, which is costing school time,
Speaker 1: probably your ability to go in and out of work.
Speaker 1: And frankly, and with the exception of just a few people,
Speaker 1: you're you're living, you're seeing as the preparations so far,
Speaker 1: so when does the healthscape begin?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so far.
Speaker 12: As you'd mentioned, it's it's been spotty in and across
Speaker 12: Wake Durham, Franklin County. Some precip showing up on radar
Speaker 12: may not be reaching the surface. But it is at
Speaker 12: or below freezing, so if there is some light snow
Speaker 12: or sleet that may be sticking in some spots. But
Speaker 12: then back toward the west, we're just starting to see
Speaker 12: and through Winston Salem and near high Point and down
Speaker 12: toward Lexington some precipitation that's a little bit more steady,
Speaker 12: starting to potentially reach the ground there. Temperatures are near
Speaker 12: or below freezing. Also until you get into Salisbury to
Speaker 12: the south and down Interstate eighty five, where it's thirty
Speaker 12: three thirty four degrees, So there's a line from the
Speaker 12: Triad to the Triangle and right across you could say
Speaker 12: I forty give or take where in and around within
Speaker 12: a few miles on either side of it, that's cold
Speaker 12: enough for snow and maybe some sleep. Continue to spread
Speaker 12: west to east, and then south of that today it's
Speaker 12: a sleep freezing rain and then just a plain rain
Speaker 12: as you go further south towards Charlotte and also southwest,
Speaker 12: so winter weather advisories with the snow maybe mixing with
Speaker 12: some sleep or even some plane rain down to the south.
Speaker 3: Accumulating maybe up to an inch or so as we
Speaker 3: head through today.
Speaker 12: That's probably a little aggressive, but tonight, when it gets colder,
Speaker 12: could see another inch or so of snow and sleet
Speaker 12: accumulating again to the south lest but to the northeast
Speaker 12: of the triangle there will be more where there are
Speaker 12: winter store mornings in place, so we will have to
Speaker 12: be on the lookout for that. But what I'm concerned about,
Speaker 12: especially tonight, is that it's going to get down to
Speaker 12: the low twenties across the reed, and that could mean
Speaker 12: even if the precipitation is light, it's gonna stick, and
Speaker 12: if the roads are slushy or wet, they're gonna freeze
Speaker 12: over and it's gonna be pretty icy tomorrow morning. Two case,
Speaker 12: so we're gonna have to be on lookout for that.
Speaker 12: I think that does happen, and then in the afternoon
Speaker 12: we only get to the mid thirties where the gusty winds,
Speaker 12: so frigid day Tomorrow, Tomorrow night we're in the teens.
Speaker 3: Friday we barely get to forty.
Speaker 12: So starting to see some of that precipt Now it
Speaker 12: kind of comes in like batches, so you get a
Speaker 12: little bit of rain and snow and sleet, and then
Speaker 12: it kind of breaks up a bit, and then it
Speaker 12: comes down a little bit harder, but you know it's
Speaker 12: not gonna snow or do anything for like hours and
Speaker 12: hours on end, So so a little should stay fairly light,
Speaker 12: coating to up to an inch or two in around
Speaker 12: the Triad and the triangle northeast where the warning is
Speaker 12: there could be maybe four six inches of snows. The
Speaker 12: low gets a little stronger in northeastern parts of North
Speaker 12: Carolina and southeast Virginia and throw some moisture in from
Speaker 12: the Atlantic.
Speaker 3: So you know it's gonna be.
Speaker 12: Tough for the next twenty four maybe thirty six hours,
Speaker 12: but after that cold will stay, but the sun will
Speaker 12: be back and by next week we'll be back in
Speaker 12: the sixties.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you very much to appreciate it,
Speaker 1: sir and Ross. I guess we'll have to go ahead
Speaker 1: and get it out of the garage.
Speaker 5: Cac O Day Radio program.
Speaker 14: I'm getting.
Speaker 2: Very excited. It's been a while.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know what that's about, I'll explain
Speaker 1: coming up and we'll check in with the folks from
Speaker 1: Bloomberg next hang on, and since Jeff is off doing
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jeff things we welcome, I don't even
Speaker 1: know what those would be. We welcome his feeling. Good morning, sir.
Speaker 1: What's going on there?
Speaker 2: It's no fun. I can't tweak Jeff just a little.
Speaker 15: So Jeff, he's a workaholic. He's probably somehow foind a
Speaker 15: way to still be working on his vacation.
Speaker 1: We've always tried to figure out what his hobbies are, Like,
Speaker 1: what does Jeff do when Jeff's not around?
Speaker 2: Then? I don't know? Yeah, do not know? Sorry, the
Speaker 2: constant struggle. All right, So what do you got for
Speaker 2: us this morning?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: Big a round of fundraising for Elon Musks.
Speaker 15: He's trying to raise forty four billion dollars from investors
Speaker 15: now to help fund his social platform X. That's what
Speaker 15: he paid for it back in twenty twenty two, forty
Speaker 15: four billion dollars, which would mark a turnaround for that company.
Speaker 15: His relationship, of course, with President Trump, has changed the
Speaker 15: perception of the platform's prospects. Some investors are betting that
Speaker 15: his role as a confident of the United States president
Speaker 15: now will give a boost to his businesses, probably more
Speaker 15: than just X and Ford is eliminating its stock award
Speaker 15: bonuses for about half of its approximate thirty three hundred
Speaker 15: middle managers. Now that says, Ford continues to try to
Speaker 15: boost his performance amid declining profits and with threatens of
Speaker 15: higher tariffs now even higher than they were by President
Speaker 15: Trump of up to twenty five percent. They're trying to
Speaker 15: make up for that. Ford forecasting losses of upwards of
Speaker 15: two billion dollars or more this year.
Speaker 2: They're trying to.
Speaker 15: Cut a billion dollars in costs for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 15: And we got some bad news for chocolate lovers. Executives
Speaker 15: at Hershey's and Madale's are signaling more more price increases
Speaker 15: are coming. Yeah, just in time for Easter. Cocoa prices
Speaker 15: are just not coming down. The head of Mandalze tells
Speaker 15: one consumer conference group. The company's keeping an eye on
Speaker 15: demand and they're implementing some significant price increases.
Speaker 2: Consumers will have to get used to it. They warn.
Speaker 15: Chocolate will be thirty, forty, even fifty percent more expensive
Speaker 15: than it used to be.
Speaker 2: Last year. Cocoa price is nearly tripled.
Speaker 15: And finally, case those threats of new tariffs as high
Speaker 15: as twenty five percents got some investors in a cautious
Speaker 15: mood this morning. Yesterday, the S and P saw a
Speaker 15: record high, but it's in renting negative territory now down
Speaker 15: more than a tenth. Nasdaq futures also down by a tenth,
Speaker 15: and Down futures are lower by around two tenths.
Speaker 1: All right, Scott Carr filling in for Jeff and we'll
Speaker 1: chat with you again tomorrow, sir, have it going?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 8: You too?
Speaker 2: All right, there you go, Scott car Bloomberg News. Hey,
Speaker 2: I have a question.
Speaker 1: Maybe I just I don't understand exactly why they're doing this,
Speaker 1: or maybe there's something that was triggering, But like, I
Speaker 1: don't understand why everyone's mad at the college Republican chick
Speaker 1: who gave that quote to Vanity Fair. I'd like to
Speaker 1: understand the part where it's like, why are you talking
Speaker 1: to Vanity Fair? Clearly, if you are, in this case,
Speaker 1: the chapter at NYU University, if you're ahead of your
Speaker 1: college Republican or if you're a Republican official for that matter,
Speaker 1: chances are a Vanity Fair wants to talk to you.
Speaker 2: It is not for your benefit. Okay.
Speaker 1: This is why I tell these politicians, if Aril calls,
Speaker 1: you don't answer them, why would you feed the beast
Speaker 1: of people out who have gone outside of the way
Speaker 1: that journalism is supposed to work and are clearly one
Speaker 1: sided in their pursuit of hating on you. That being said,
Speaker 1: this statement that this young woman made when when she
Speaker 1: was asked about Baron Trump, I don't understand how it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be hateful to the point where they've now
Speaker 1: just she's resigned because they had people up and the
Speaker 1: party telling her we probably got to resign after this
Speaker 1: thing you said. So, she was asked about Baron Trump,
Speaker 1: who's you know, goes to college there, that's all, and
Speaker 1: she made she made what I thought was a pretty
Speaker 1: innocuous statement. She basically said that Baron is quote an oddity,
Speaker 1: and she didn't mean that in a negative way. If
Speaker 1: you listen to her whole statement, she said, quote, he's
Speaker 1: a bit of an oddity on campus.
Speaker 2: He goes to class, then he goes right home.
Speaker 1: And at first they accused her of making fun of
Speaker 1: Baron because he doesn't I guess dorm there, but most
Speaker 1: of the business students don't. And what she's saying is
Speaker 1: he's a college student who everybody knows.
Speaker 2: She goes.
Speaker 1: She goes on to document how people they see him
Speaker 1: on campus, They take pictures of him, which has to
Speaker 1: be really.
Speaker 2: Weird, right, not with him, of him, and he just
Speaker 2: goes and and you know, he's the president's.
Speaker 1: Feasibly, he could show up with an ego a mile wide,
Speaker 1: he could party all the time, it could be injurious,
Speaker 1: but he's not.
Speaker 2: He comes to class, he does his thing, he goes home.
Speaker 2: And she didn't say it like he's he's weird, or
Speaker 2: he's you know, in a negative way. She said it like,
Speaker 2: you know, it's not what you would expect.
Speaker 1: And obviously he's much taller than most people, so he
Speaker 1: obviously sticks out there as well.
