Speaker 1: What a day. Yesterday? Now, no nap even though I
Speaker 1: really needed a nap. I don't know, I don't I
Speaker 1: just really didn't sleep very well the night before. I
Speaker 1: wonder what it was about Monday night that may have
Speaker 1: ruined my slumber. But no, no yesterday, and maybe some
Speaker 1: of you as well, judging from some tweets I've seen.
Speaker 1: I threw on the old confirmation here in, the old
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth confirmation here in I'm like, what will be
Speaker 1: happening here? And I had a pretty good You know,
Speaker 1: if you've seen one of these, you kind of understand
Speaker 1: how it works. Right, There's clear coordination, and especially if
Speaker 1: you're the opposition to whoever is getting confirmed, right, you
Speaker 1: sit there and you're like, all right, Bill, you're gonna
Speaker 1: take the uh, And then you know, you you identify
Speaker 1: two or three key points of attack whatever it is.
Speaker 1: You know, with Kavanaugh obviously it went pretty crazy, but
Speaker 1: with heg Seth, there are points of attack. Were multiple
Speaker 1: marriages drink That NBC News article where anonymous sources, although
Speaker 1: Tim Kaine says they're not anonymous, but they are. I
Speaker 1: went back and checked, uh, you know, where he was
Speaker 1: drunk all the time and you know, it's just all
Speaker 1: the really salacious stuff. Really, the only policy point that
Speaker 1: they made a core focus was his opinion on women
Speaker 1: in combat, and then they just spun it into whatever
Speaker 1: they wanted it to be, right, rather than a delineation
Speaker 1: of women in combat versus women in roles in the
Speaker 1: military where they have different standards to get you know,
Speaker 1: perfect scores on things, or to qualify for this thing,
Speaker 1: past this whatever it is, you know, which is I
Speaker 1: think really, I don't know that I've seen polling on
Speaker 1: this lately, and if if you trust it, but I
Speaker 1: would think the majority of Americans, if you put the
Speaker 1: question to them, should there be different standards when it
Speaker 1: comes to tip of the spear special Forces, you know,
Speaker 1: all of the and in combat roles right where literally
Speaker 1: lives are on the line. And it's not to say
Speaker 1: that there are combat roles where the physicality isn't an issue, right,
Speaker 1: you know, necessary or as big of an issue, right
Speaker 1: when you get into like drone operators or pilots or
Speaker 1: things like that. What we're clearly talking about is, you know,
Speaker 1: me and Ross are kicking doors somewhere, and Ross takes
Speaker 1: one in the leg, and I got to drag him
Speaker 1: two blocks or whatever to extract him from that area
Speaker 1: so I can get him help. Like the expectation that
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to do that is well,
Speaker 1: it's expected. So that's really where where where it landed.
Speaker 1: The problem was the delivery. I don't think it's enough
Speaker 1: to repeal the Nineteenth I don't. I don't think they
Speaker 1: should be serving in the in Congress on the Democrat side.
Speaker 1: Holy hell, how unhinged are you? That's now Look, that's
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek kind of. But the exchanges, now, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. There there was insanity for days, right,
Speaker 1: there was. There was all sorts of insanity, but every
Speaker 1: I found myself hoping that when they went to one
Speaker 1: of the female committee members on the Democrat side and
Speaker 1: the there's a lot of them right the committee, it's
Speaker 1: a big committee. But also there's a lot of women
Speaker 1: represented there on the Democrat side of the Republican side,
Speaker 1: I think it's two right, it's Jony Ernst in one
Speaker 1: another and it was. It was like a crazy off.
Speaker 1: And it's not that they were necessarily talking about different stuff.
Speaker 1: It was the way they were going about it. Let
Speaker 1: me let me give you an example, Okay, let me
Speaker 1: give you, let me give you, let's go with let's
Speaker 1: go with Kirsten Gillibrands. And she was one of the
Speaker 1: first if you remember, for about five minutes she was
Speaker 1: a presidential candidate and do you remember, do you remember
Speaker 1: and this is this is this is good to remember.
Speaker 1: Do you remember kind of the knock on Gillibrand at
Speaker 1: the time, not that she wasn't she was very personable, right,
Speaker 1: except it was like her her campaign strategy was to
Speaker 1: go to bars, do shooters and post pictures of it, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not opposed to I like to
Speaker 1: go to a bar occasionally do some shooters, right, bemoan
Speaker 1: the state of my teams. But also that's it was.
Speaker 1: It was a weird thing. And so the knock on
Speaker 1: her was she's a little bit of a party girl.
Speaker 1: Whether that's fair or not. Whatever. Again, she came across
Speaker 1: in the couple of the debates there is probably pretty personable, right,
Speaker 1: you know, if you didn't talk politics, you'd probably get
Speaker 1: along with her. But like that was the rap. They
Speaker 1: were all they kept posting, We're doing a campaign event
Speaker 1: at the you know, the whiskey factory here, and she's
Speaker 1: double fisting. So imagine how hilarious knowing that this exchange
Speaker 1: should have been for everybody uh watching, and Gillibrand is
Speaker 1: completely unaware.
Speaker 2: Be allowed to serve with that limitation. You've said yes
Speaker 2: to that question, but then in all of these other circumstances,
Speaker 2: you've denigrated active duty service members. We have hundreds, hundreds
Speaker 2: of women who are currently in the infantry, lethal members
Speaker 2: of our military serving in the infantry, but you degrade them.
Speaker 2: You say we need moms, but not in the military,
Speaker 2: especially in combat units.
Speaker 1: All right, So, and by the way, this is there's
Speaker 1: so much to unpack with all these cuts. What hag
Speaker 1: Seth is talking about is something I have heard voiced
Speaker 1: by members of the military as frustrating to normal order.
Speaker 1: And that is the if if you are a male
Speaker 1: member of the military and you're married or not even
Speaker 1: if you're married, but let's just say you're married, okay,
Speaker 1: if you're if if if you're married in the military
Speaker 1: and you're a male member, and as a couple, you
Speaker 1: get pregnant, obviously your wife gets pregnant. Because we're gonna
Speaker 1: stick to biology here, Do you then not have to
Speaker 1: go to Bellusiah, No, you go to Fallujah if that's
Speaker 1: what your orders are. Now, if you're a female member
Speaker 1: of the military, you ain't going to Fallusiah. So that
Speaker 1: is what that actual discussion was about, whether that's fair
Speaker 1: or not. Again, I never served in the military, so
Speaker 1: I can relay, and I'm very inquisitive, and I talk
Speaker 1: to people and I ask questions, and I think I
Speaker 1: have a general sense of attitudes on some of this stuff.
Speaker 1: But I've heard that voiced as a frustration, right, because
Speaker 1: you have that much like the double standards. Now this
Speaker 1: is this is more of this part. Let's keep going
Speaker 1: with gillibrand so.
Speaker 2: Specific to Senator Kahnon's question, because Senator Conton was giving
Speaker 2: you layups to differentiate between different types of combat and specifically,
Speaker 2: as Secretary, would you take any action to reinstitute the
Speaker 2: combat arms exclusion for female service members, knowing full well
Speaker 2: you have hundreds of women doing that job right now.
Speaker 2: And the standards your two mile round, Tom is about
Speaker 2: the Army combat fitness test. It is not the requirements
Speaker 2: to have an Mos eleven Bravo, which is the infantry.
Speaker 1: These are yeah, and cotton. He kind of screwed up
Speaker 1: on that delivery there and she's jumping on it, but
Speaker 1: he didn't say that. He used the word miles instead
Speaker 1: of minutes twice and it got a little confusing, So
Speaker 1: she's kind of feasting on.
Speaker 2: That are the requirements today for people serving in the industry,
Speaker 2: men and women. They are gender neutrals, and they are
Speaker 2: very difficult to meet.
Speaker 1: Well, actually that's not true. I actually have the chart
Speaker 1: here for here's qualifications, and this is this is kind
Speaker 1: of the big one qualifications, minimum qualifications and top all
Speaker 1: the way up to top score. The different percentiles for
Speaker 1: women and men when it comes to strength right for
Speaker 1: you know, for various lifts and activities. And the chart,
Speaker 1: which is the US Army's chart, has two sections men
Speaker 1: and women with vastly different numbers all right, in fact, ross,
Speaker 1: what are you? Is this deadlift? What is this? What
Speaker 1: do you deadlift? Do you know? I don't know if
Speaker 1: you do that as part of your workout? What is
Speaker 1: your what's your what's your no idea? You have no idea? Okay,
Speaker 1: do you think you could do two forty? Probably? I
Speaker 1: mean probably, yeah, I could do two forty. Yeah, two
Speaker 1: forty that's uh, that's that'll get you a top score
Speaker 1: on this chart. For women men have to do three?
Speaker 1: Is it three? I think it's three fifty here, So
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell she's talking about. Now
Speaker 1: that's top score. But also there's a different it differentiates
Speaker 1: all along the various things there. Now we can argue,
Speaker 1: you know, which, you know, is it important for there
Speaker 1: to be the same standards? And that should have been
Speaker 1: the discussion, and it kind of was for some, But
Speaker 1: in reality it's I think that it's that part where
Speaker 1: you being able to pick up your fellow service member
Speaker 1: and get them out of there with which people envision
Speaker 1: in their mind when they're asking.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I think the only thing that
Speaker 3: people really care about is can you pull somebody out
Speaker 3: of a foxhole if they're getting shot at or whatever?
Speaker 1: Like dude. Yeah, And I saw one of the rebuttals.
Speaker 1: I don't think I sent it in the cut. One
Speaker 1: of the other Democrats said, you know, how many service
Speaker 1: members weigh more than two forty when they're in full kit?
Speaker 1: Most of them? Probably how much? How much? I mean,
Speaker 1: what are we talking about? Forty to one hundred pounds?
Speaker 1: Especially when you get into some of these guys who
Speaker 1: are really juiced out, like we're not if they're naked.
Speaker 1: It is usually not the situation you're dealing with. You're
Speaker 1: dealing with them and in you know, everything that they
Speaker 1: brought to fight. So it's so much absurd.
Speaker 2: I've not been produced in any way. And our combat units,
Speaker 2: our infantry, is lethal, So please explain specifically, because you
Speaker 2: will be in charge of three million personnel.
Speaker 1: All right, they kept all right, So she and honestly,
Speaker 1: she's the least unhinged. And I think it was because
Speaker 1: she was like up towards the front there. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: she cherry picks one thing. And here's the deal of
Speaker 1: the quote, hundreds of lethal women in combat roles. Hegsa's position,
Speaker 1: as he explained yesterday. And you can agree or disagree,
Speaker 1: or you can say you don't think it was his
Speaker 1: position all the time. Whatever his position yesterday was every
Speaker 1: one of them if they can meet whatever the standards
Speaker 1: are that well, you know, the minimum standards. He didn't
Speaker 1: object to that, and some people do. Some people say, hey, look,
Speaker 1: even if you can do the work, inherently, men, how
Speaker 1: you know, will will are more likely to try to
Speaker 1: protect women, you know, let's say, where they get into
Speaker 1: the psychology of it. And and I don't think that's
Speaker 1: necessarily a game winning point there, Uh, but I think
Speaker 1: it's definitely debatable.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And there have been studies where you have uh, you know,
Speaker 1: gender integrated units and their efficiency was studied against mail
Speaker 1: units and it showed that the male units did better,
Speaker 1: and then it was called sexist, and then they scrapped it.
Speaker 1: It was their own study. Now can you recreate it?
Speaker 1: Maybe they will and maybe they should the and then Gilibramma,
Speaker 1: it's not in that cut there. She She also brought
Speaker 1: up the drinking thing, and I just bust out laughing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you were you were. Your whole presidential campaign
Speaker 1: was you go in the bar doing shooters, So like
Speaker 1: what do you get your box wine? Sit down, your
Speaker 1: time's up, and let's move on. But then we got
Speaker 1: to we got to Jean Shaheen and Elizabeth Warren, Tammy
Speaker 1: Duckworth and it was in Mazi Herono or the Chick
Speaker 1: from Hawaii, and it just escalated from there and uh,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll, Tim Kaine, I mean.
Speaker 3: How does the awarding work? Like, does does hag Seth
Speaker 3: get a silver star or a bronze star for dealing
Speaker 3: with these shrieking banshees yesterday, like does he get a medal? Like,
Speaker 3: how does it work?
Speaker 1: Well, you saw my tweet yesterday this morning. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the one I sent you for the audio. It
Speaker 1: was uh and I just said, uh, hey military folks,
Speaker 1: uh you got you got an eight hour assignment. Would
Speaker 1: you rather kick doors in Fallujah or sit through this?
Speaker 1: This is what happens when he stacked.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I didn't read what you said because it was
Speaker 3: like two minutes before the sh But yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: he should get something for that, right, right, common val
Speaker 3: or something? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let's get them some Let's get them some clusters too.
Speaker 1: Geez man, Oh you Rogie got so lucky not watching
Speaker 1: that thing. I turned it out.
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 4: Like.
Speaker 3: I had a whole conversation with Marky yesterday. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I know this is what everybody's talking about,
Speaker 3: but like I'm scrolling through and I'm seeing just the
Speaker 3: still images of the video of these women yelling. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I have no, I have no, And then they did
Speaker 3: not participate.
Speaker 1: The cat meme. You saw the cat with the or
Speaker 1: the cats sitting eating the salad and the woman screaming.
Speaker 3: And then nobody can envision it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly, and then Elizabeth Warren did the meme,
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, her mouth is open like she's a demon,
Speaker 1: and Hegg says face is just like I'll find it
Speaker 1: and retweet it. It's just a chef's kiss. Man. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you you lucked out. It was pretty crazy. So I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there and I am about halfway through it and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everything shuts off. My power went out,
Speaker 1: and uh. I looked outside and I found out that
Speaker 1: they they were actually working on the power line right
Speaker 1: out in front of my house, so which I didn't realize,
Speaker 1: and I guess they, I don't know, stuck a screwdriver
Speaker 1: somewhere they shouldn't. Power went out, and my first thought was,
Speaker 1: thank you Jesus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a gift.
Speaker 1: Oh my goods. And then it came on like two
Speaker 1: minutes later. I'm like, oh, man, like I was, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe slipped the guy a hund row outside, like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you knock out power to my whole neighborhood again
Speaker 1: for like I don't know, another four hours by yourself
Speaker 1: something nice? But yeah, it was holy cow. So we'll
Speaker 1: we'll dive through if you were lucky enough to like
Speaker 1: Ross to not see this, but you still want a
Speaker 1: little flavor of what you missed. We're your guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're your guys, and we'll get to that and so
Speaker 1: much more coming up. It is the CaCO Day Radio
Speaker 1: program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven
Speaker 1: eight seven five. I'm just seeing it is all of
Speaker 1: our audio. I think all of our audio is that.
Speaker 1: Oh no, there's something else, a potential cage match. I'll
Speaker 1: explain next hang them what the hag Seth? And I
Speaker 1: guess anyone who tuned in was subjected to yesterday, and
Speaker 1: that is the confirmation hearing of Pete haig Seth, which
Speaker 1: in its totality I don't know is necessarily over. But
Speaker 1: I don't know what they've stated. How much longer from
Speaker 1: a rounds? There was a request to do another round
Speaker 1: of questioning and it wasn't immediately granted, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the status is, but yesterday's was. Yeah, everybody got
Speaker 1: their turn, Senator most senators from North Carolina on that committee,
Speaker 1: so Senator Slenderman and Senator Bud got their questions in.
Speaker 1: There wasn't anything really groundbreaking there, Bud was mostly talking
Speaker 1: about recruiting stuff, which you know, that's it's interesting because
Speaker 1: since the election, recruitment numbers have gone up and not
Speaker 1: like just a little so watching some of the Democrat
Speaker 1: senators during that part of the discussion pretend like Trump
Speaker 1: coming into office and and a pledge to end the insanity.
Speaker 1: The DEI stuff wasn't impactful for recruiting. You can't make
Speaker 1: that argument. And and they were tipping their own hand there,
Speaker 1: you know, the what was the the way that they
Speaker 1: were advertising for recruiting people. You know, there's a meme
Speaker 1: for that, right and it literally they they did the
Speaker 1: meme where at the beginning of the Biden administration you
Speaker 1: had all these very woke remember some of the woke ads.
Speaker 1: What was there was one with a woman and her
Speaker 1: mom and it started. It was a cartoonish kind of thing,
Speaker 1: and I like, it was so incredibly woke and stupid
Speaker 1: that initially I'm like, there's no way the D or
Speaker 1: the the the D O D put that out right,
Speaker 1: And then you find out they did. And then by
Speaker 1: towards the end of the Biden thing, it's a bunch
Speaker 1: of you know, a bunch of badasses running through mud
Speaker 1: and you know, at the battle, and it really played
Speaker 1: to the macho side of it. And there's a reason
Speaker 1: for that, right, because they're recruiting numbers cratered when they
Speaker 1: were doing this stuff. Cratered absolutely undeniably. We can see
Speaker 1: the numbers. And so the joke is, well, as soon
Speaker 1: as you stop insulting basically a bunch of you know,
Speaker 1: white dudes who really are the core of who's signing
Speaker 1: up there, it's got you know, it's men obviously primarily,
Speaker 1: but a big chunk of our militaries, white guys. As
Speaker 1: soon as you basically decide that you're not even gonna
Speaker 1: market to them or create an environment where they think
Speaker 1: that they will have an inability to advance, right, which
Speaker 1: is with this DEI stuff. It creates those scenarios. It
Speaker 1: creates scenarios, and you don't have to be in the
Speaker 1: military for that. You could be at a Fortune five
Speaker 1: hundred company and know that as a as a straight
Speaker 1: white male, the likelihood of you advancing is more difficult.
Speaker 1: And some people go, well it should because forever they
Speaker 1: were the ones who ad Well, if you think it
Speaker 1: was wrong, then right, it's the amount of hypocrisy is crazy.
Speaker 1: So with all of this in mind, and this argument
Speaker 1: over I don't think. I don't think women have the
Speaker 1: temperament to serve in the Senate. On the Democrat side,
Speaker 1: Joni Ernst had a very normal conversation. Remember she's been
Speaker 1: critical of heg Seth, and she talked about the women
Speaker 1: in the military issue because she herself, I don't know
Speaker 1: if she's still in the Iowa National Guard. She served
Speaker 1: in a reserve capacity, in a National Guard capacity, And
Speaker 1: they had a normal adult conversation about this. And yet
Speaker 1: every time they would go over on the other side
Speaker 1: of the aisle, it was, what's you know, now, let's
Speaker 1: go to Senator Shaheen, right, and then it's like, what
Speaker 1: insanity is going to escape this woman's mouth?
Speaker 5: In your book The War on Warriors, with the chapter
Speaker 5: the Deadly Obsession with Women Warriors that quote, not only
Speaker 5: are women comparatively less effective than men in combat roles,
Speaker 5: but they are more likely to be objectified by the
Speaker 5: enemy and their own nation in the moral realms of war.
Speaker 1: All right, So yes, so she's about to take umbrage
Speaker 1: one with the very same study that I mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: about the effectiveness of integrated groups of tip of the
Speaker 1: Spear warriors and all male groups and efficiency, and they
Speaker 1: studied a lot of different aspects, like the way that
Speaker 1: people worked together, right, and it was clear that's why
Speaker 1: they scrapped it because they called it sexist. But also
Speaker 1: she's about to take issue with the fact that if
Speaker 1: four soldiers, two women and two men get captured by
Speaker 1: the enemy, that the women are more likely to be
Speaker 1: raped or sexually assaulted. I'm sorry, have you heard of Hamas? Now,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, they raped some dudes too, But
Speaker 1: like every single female captive of Hamas that had that
Speaker 1: I've seen an interview with who is willing to talk
Speaker 1: about this. It wasn't just beatings. It was a whole
Speaker 1: lot of rapn Okay, that's what she's about to take
Speaker 1: issue with the And it's a horrible it's it's horrendous
Speaker 1: and it's heinous, but it's not wrong. So for him
Speaker 1: to mention this thing, which instinctively, if you got people
Speaker 1: who've never heard of politics in a room and you
Speaker 1: and you showed them some e four dudes, some e
Speaker 1: four women, and you know, with a little bit of
Speaker 1: time in there, and if they got captured, and you asked,
Speaker 1: all right, who are the brutal capturers that run the
Speaker 1: Hanoi Hilton or the you know whatever it is. Who
Speaker 1: are they most likely to rape? You'd have to be
Speaker 1: an idiot because most of you know, the enemies are
Speaker 1: don't have women in combat roles, so you're likely being
Speaker 1: captured by men.
Speaker 5: Mister haig Seth, should we take it to believe that
Speaker 5: you believe that the two women on this committee, who
Speaker 5: have served honorably and with distinction, made our military less
Speaker 5: effective and less capable.
Speaker 3: I'm incredibly greatful.
Speaker 1: By the way the two women in this committee did
Speaker 1: not serve in the in that specific door kicking on
Speaker 1: the ground, tip of the spear style mos right now.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean they didn't serve
Speaker 1: in combat. Duckworth did. I can't remember what all she flies.
Speaker 1: But my point is it's a disingenuous question because your
Speaker 1: own study within the within the army, in certain scenarios
Speaker 1: that were studied, said that they were less effective. Now
Speaker 1: you could argue, maybe it's not a big enough sample size.
Speaker 1: And I absolutely believe that there are women that can
Speaker 1: go in and do these things and it doesn't get emotional,
Speaker 1: and they form bonds that are the exact same and
Speaker 1: and and all of that. But I also believe the
Speaker 1: study you guys did probably is not all fake, right,
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I haven't I haven't served in
Speaker 1: that capacity, served in any capacity in the military, let
Speaker 1: alone that, So I don't know. But like we're it
Speaker 1: turned into arguing truths. And I'm sorry military members of the
Speaker 1: military get captured, and they get captured by enemies that
Speaker 1: are willing to do horrible stuff to them, summary executions, beatings,
Speaker 1: all of the rapes, whatever it is. You can't convince
Speaker 1: me that a female soldier isn't more like to suffer
Speaker 1: the last thing.
Speaker 3: Now, it's so dumb, Like you said, you don't need
Speaker 3: these studies. It's what they're going to do. They don't
Speaker 3: let their women walk around without being covered up. What
Speaker 3: do you think they're going to do to a female
Speaker 3: soldier if they get one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't have a lot of respect for women,
Speaker 1: Like they're kind of like an Eagles fan.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, so that guy got fired. Did you see
Speaker 1: that video of that dude's screaming at the packers lady
Speaker 1: calling her the sea word? Oh? I guess that the
Speaker 1: internet found him out. But anyway, back to this. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: to Ross's point, you just have to have a functioning brain.
Speaker 1: So while she's not screaming as much as some of
Speaker 1: her counterparts, it's what's coming out of her mouth.
Speaker 7: For the for the two women who've served our military
Speaker 7: in uniform and including in the Central Intelligence Agency, contributions
Speaker 7: on the battlefield, indispensable contribution. Senator, I would like to
Speaker 7: clarify when I'm talking about that issue, it's not about
Speaker 7: the capabilities of men and women. It's about standards. And
Speaker 7: this committee has talked a lot about standards. Standards what
Speaker 7: that we unfortunately over time, have seen eroded in certain
Speaker 7: duty positions, certain schools, certain places, which affects readiness, which
Speaker 7: is what I care about the most readies.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And so how time.
Speaker 7: And time again to standards.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know I read a thing yesterday, a post
Speaker 1: by a former Army ranger and he said in his post,
Speaker 1: and he's he's pretty well known. His name escapes me
Speaker 1: right now, but he's he was talking about an incident.
Speaker 1: So he had he had one of the top five
Speaker 1: PT scores in his entire battalion. So this Army ranger
Speaker 1: yoked right, and he was talking about an incident in
Speaker 1: Iraq when he was serving where one of these fellow
Speaker 1: rangers got wounded and incapac couldn't walk even and he
Speaker 1: had to haul him. I think it was about three
Speaker 1: hundred yards and he said he was he said he
Speaker 1: after he did it, he felt as though he had
Speaker 1: never lifted weights in his whole life, because it's just
Speaker 1: a combination of, you know, another dude is probably pretty
Speaker 1: jacked and everything that a ranger wears, the you know,
Speaker 1: the kit is very heavy, and then in that situation
Speaker 1: having to move it. And he said that he himself
Speaker 1: literally was part. He had to like sit down after
Speaker 1: that and was just kind of rest his muscles. It
Speaker 1: was so physically strenuous, that's what we're talking about. And
Speaker 1: it turned into hypotheticals and what ifs and weird weird
Speaker 1: there what was the There was one really weird scenario
Speaker 1: that came up. I'll try to remember what it is.
Speaker 1: Let's listen to Elizabeth Warren though get kind of owned
Speaker 1: other words, you're quite shut, all right. So, and by
Speaker 1: the way, her beef is heg Seth has voice support
Speaker 1: for a position that Trump is in support of. And
Speaker 1: that is where you cannot be a general and then
Speaker 1: immediately go to this. Remember the wayde Austin had been
Speaker 1: retired for enough years to be able to go ahead
Speaker 1: and do it. So and I think they want to
Speaker 1: make that number go higher. So that's what this thing is.
Speaker 1: So her gotcha, Elizabeth Warrens gotcha is because haig Seth
Speaker 1: was a military member, and it like she didn't think
Speaker 1: this through. So that's the context here.
Speaker 4: In other words, you're quite sure that every general who
Speaker 4: serves should not go directly into the defense industry for
Speaker 4: ten years. You're not willing to make that same pledge.
Speaker 7: I'm not a general, Senator, you'll be the one.
Speaker 4: Let us just be clear in charge of the generals.
Speaker 1: I mean if I'm assuming she came up with that,
Speaker 1: because I I would like to think that her staffers
Speaker 1: know that he wasn't a general. And but this is
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. There's a lot of there's a
Speaker 1: lot of concern with somebody who is still in a
Speaker 1: in a in this decision making process right or at
Speaker 1: least has input on this, who may be looking at
Speaker 1: retiring in two years, who's cozying up to his next
Speaker 1: big gig at Lockheed Martin and so Lockheed Martin maybe
Speaker 1: is the name he brings up for a project that
Speaker 1: he has some perview like this is what this is about.
Speaker 1: I didn't even understand it. I wish you just would
Speaker 1: have scream like the rest of them over the other stuff.
Speaker 1: So all right, yeah, well, let's let me do this.
Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and hit the brake. You know, lots
Speaker 1: more of this the app I'm torturing you, I understand,
Speaker 1: but it will get better. And then we have a
Speaker 1: few stories that, frankly, have nothing to do with this,
Speaker 1: because if not, I think we'd all pass out. All right,
Speaker 1: six forty eight, Hang on, We're torturing you with audio
Speaker 1: from Pete Hags says confirmation hearing yesterday, because I tortured
Speaker 1: myself with it, and I'm not gonna suffer alone. We're
Speaker 1: all gonna listen to Tammy Duck where it's scream like
Speaker 1: a lunatic.
Speaker 8: Miss Hexa. This is we ask our troops to go
Speaker 8: into harm's way all the time. We ask them to
Speaker 8: go into harm's way. And this behind me is a
Speaker 8: copy of the soldier's creed, a copy that usually hangs
Speaker 8: over my desk here in the sun. And you should
Speaker 8: be familiar with it. It's the same copy that hung
Speaker 8: over my desk at Well to read every single day
Speaker 8: that I woke up and fought my way.
Speaker 1: Back again with just measured tone. You don't have to yell,
Speaker 1: you don't have to raise your voice. This is when
Speaker 1: people start tuning out what you're saying.
Speaker 8: Because I wanted to go back and serve next to
Speaker 8: my buddies who saved my life. The same copy.
Speaker 3: These words I repeated.
Speaker 8: Over and over and over again, and I mean read
Speaker 8: out two things to you, two sentences. I will always
Speaker 8: place the mission first. And I am disciplined physically and mentally, tough,
Speaker 8: train and proficient and my warrior task. Mister Heckseth, our
Speaker 8: troops follow these words every single day, and they mean if.
Speaker 1: You have to make accommodations, and it does not, and
Speaker 1: you do not have especially when you get into specialized missions,
Speaker 1: which she's you know, she talked about in length as
Speaker 1: part of her questioning as well. And and you you
Speaker 1: you rig it so that it is not a meritocracy,
Speaker 1: then you're not putting the mission first.
Speaker 8: But go on, man up, and they pack their ruts
Speaker 8: acts and they go to war, and they deserve a leader.
Speaker 1: Well not Tim Walls. Not he not not not Tim
Speaker 1: Tim Walls. He uh, he does something else.
Speaker 8: Can lead them, not a leader who wants to lower
Speaker 8: the standards for himself, but raising the standards for other people.
Speaker 8: And by the way, our troops already meet the state,
Speaker 8: and we asked troops of man that ship, fight that
Speaker 8: fire fly, that helicopter into their very last breath, and
Speaker 8: they do that every single day.
Speaker 1: And again she keeps talking about the standards, which are
Speaker 1: like she's acknowledging that they're lowered, but artificially lowered in
Speaker 1: some instance, isn't and and expects you just to readily
Speaker 1: accept it. It's everything. It was just all such garbage.
Speaker 1: And frankly, as as you know, as a veteran herself
Speaker 1: and somebody who was severely injured serving right, she should
Speaker 1: be able to bring a pretty unique perspective. Frankly, they
Speaker 1: didn't touch on any VA stuff. Oh there was hold on.
Speaker 1: There was one conversation about like after care for soldiers,
Speaker 1: but it was all gotcha stuff, and Duckworth isn't going there.
Speaker 1: It's just like she couldn't even cobble together a better
Speaker 1: way to try to embarrass Pete hag Seth and that
Speaker 1: in and of itself is embarrassing.
Speaker 8: They cannot be led by someone who's not competent to
Speaker 8: do the job. How can we ask these warriors who
Speaker 8: train and perform the absolute highest standards when you are
Speaker 8: asking us to lower the standards to make you the
Speaker 8: secret of defense simply because you are buddies with our
Speaker 8: president elect. And by the way, he has filed for
Speaker 8: bankruptcy six times, I'm not quite sure he's the kind
Speaker 8: of CEO you want to refer to as a successful business.
Speaker 1: Like she say, this is a senator. This is a
Speaker 1: senator who literally used the dumb like one of the
Speaker 1: dumbest Trump attacks out there, Like it's so late, it's
Speaker 1: Twitter troll worthy. Right, he filed for bankruptcy six times? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how many different companies did he did he start? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's in the hundreds. Okay. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this, especially like if you go on the restaurant
Speaker 1: side of things, I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1: They have a failure rate that's pretty significant. So it's
Speaker 1: just so lazy. I expect better, even from an attack standpoint,
Speaker 1: and she just not bringing it. Man, I just I
Speaker 1: can't with her. I just because he can't.
Speaker 3: The bankruptcy thing. It reminds me of like, you know,
Speaker 3: like you date these girls in my early twenties and
Speaker 3: you'd get in these arguments and then suddenly, like part
Speaker 3: of the argument would be something that had nothing to
Speaker 3: do with what we were talking, Like what did that
Speaker 3: have to do with anything? It was just a petty,
Speaker 3: cheap attack. Man.
Speaker 1: It means you're losing the argument or the discussion, or
Speaker 1: you feel that you are, because there's no reason to
Speaker 1: pivot there if you if you think you have that,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's that Bill burd bit right,
Speaker 1: that Bill where he's talking it where he's talking about
Speaker 1: how women argue spot on. Man, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: make this a sexist thing. And frankly, if if we
Speaker 1: were just talking, even if they were just attacking them
Speaker 1: over that stuff, and they wouldn't, but they brought up
Speaker 1: the women thing. This is their point of attack. So
Speaker 1: you're demanding that I analyze your point here, and so
Speaker 1: that's why we're doing this. And you're making the point
Speaker 1: like would you would you want Tammy Duckworth or Jean
Speaker 1: Shaheen or Kirsten gillibrand would you want them leading you
Speaker 1: into battle. Would you want them managing your business? Would
Speaker 1: you want to work for them? Like you said earlier
Speaker 1: in the show, it's the cat meme, it's the crazy
Speaker 1: whatever it is reality TV woman pointing at the cat
Speaker 1: hysterically and the cat just sitting there like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with the
Speaker 3: dude who stay in calm when you jackals are just
Speaker 3: screaming at him for hours over nothing like you say,
Speaker 3: look you can tell right like you mute a video,
Speaker 3: Mute a video. As I was watching in my feed yesterday,
Speaker 3: scrolling through and I'm like, you know, what is what
Speaker 3: are these hearings about? And I'm just watching with the
Speaker 3: mute off, you know, the volume off, and these women
Speaker 3: are looking at hysterical, and I'm like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: have any part of this because they're not I am
Speaker 3: not participating. Watch a video of Hitler. You don't need
Speaker 3: to have it with the music on, just just just
Speaker 3: mute it. You're like, you're looking at that dude. You're
Speaker 3: like that dude's crazy. Yeah, it's out of his mind.
Speaker 3: These women are looking nuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just embarrassing. And then Fox, so I watched
Speaker 1: it streaming through YouTube on Fox just because I had
Speaker 1: my Apple, I watched stuff through my Apple TV and
Speaker 1: Fox for their stream they had like this weird I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was like on the broadcast network,
Speaker 1: but they had a fix shot on hegseth and then
Speaker 1: they had in the bottom corner they had the other
Speaker 1: camera which occasionally would point at whatever senator was talking,
Speaker 1: but also it would like wander around the room. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was one of those robocameras,
Speaker 1: if you don't know what those are, those are very popular,
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of newsrooms who use those, especially
Speaker 1: in smaller markets. Because the thing was going crazy and
Speaker 1: it kept like zooming in and looking all but it
Speaker 1: was very telling because right after one of these women
Speaker 1: would get done screaming like a lunatic and they would
Speaker 1: go to the next senator, the camera wouldn't cut away
Speaker 1: from them, and within ten seconds they were joking and
Speaker 1: smiling with each other.
Speaker 3: The other theater kids. Man, it's a performator.
Speaker 1: And it's like you couldn't even keep a straight face
Speaker 1: after you just got done accusing him. And the one
Speaker 1: where I saw it was Herono from Hawaii. Listen, I
Speaker 1: want you got this audio is insane, and I want
Speaker 1: you to know that a moment after she got done
Speaker 1: with what you're going to hear, she cracked a joke
Speaker 1: with the woman who sits next to her. I remember
Speaker 1: what that woman's name, that senator's name is, and they're
Speaker 1: just laughing, having a good old time. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: if you believe what you just said, then you should
Speaker 1: be doing everything in your power to make sure this
Speaker 1: guy doesn't get in in the most serious manner. The
Speaker 1: thing is, you don't believe it, and you poison pilled
Speaker 1: your own question. Listen to this.
Speaker 9: Would you use our military to take over Greenland or
Speaker 9: an ally of Denmark?
Speaker 1: Senator?
Speaker 7: One of the things that President Trump is so good
Speaker 7: at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I
Speaker 7: would never, in this public forum give one way or another,
Speaker 7: present any context that.
Speaker 9: Sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out such
Speaker 9: an order to basically invade Greenland and take over the
Speaker 9: Panama Canal.
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, hold on one ross, Do you have
Speaker 1: a map? Is Panama Canal in Greenland?
Speaker 6: Check it?
Speaker 1: Oh it's not okay. We're talking about two very different
Speaker 1: in different areas of the world. Yes, ah, but you know,
Speaker 1: but the same rough temperature, probably.
Speaker 3: Not exactly Okay, a little different.
Speaker 1: I'll have to check that out. But I absolutely think
Speaker 1: that the US military could be used in relation to
Speaker 1: the Panama Canal. Hear me out. I'm not saying we
Speaker 1: go invade Panama, but if China, let's China, who basically
Speaker 1: controls most of the maritime services on the career be
Speaker 1: inside of the canal and is very quickly acquiring a
Speaker 1: lot of the contractor companies and they're Chinese companies come
Speaker 1: in and then they bid on these and they bit
Speaker 1: very low because essentially they're bringing over some workers and
Speaker 1: it's all so very corrupt. They are. They are very
Speaker 1: quickly getting a much stronger foothold on the Panama City side,
Speaker 1: on the Pacific side. And so if China decided, let's
Speaker 1: say China just had enough flex that they could do
Speaker 1: something to disrupt or bar US ships from coming through
Speaker 1: the canal. You're telling me we wouldn't put the six
Speaker 1: fleet out there just chilling to make a point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we would, because it would cripple our economy. Doesn't
Speaker 3: need that. China could be like crazy pirates show up
Speaker 3: and say this is our canal. Now, really, we're gonna
Speaker 3: blow you out of the water, right, Yeah, because that's
Speaker 3: that's not gonna happen, buddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna our battleship's gonna sink yours, so to speak, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and then and so to then get the the the
Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense on the record that they wouldn't
Speaker 1: do that. It's one it's not his decision. It would
Speaker 1: be the president's decision, and also Congress, depending on how
Speaker 1: far that it went through there, it's not his. It's
Speaker 1: not heg Sas or whoever's in that role's decision. But
Speaker 1: I just gave you a very real world scenario where
Speaker 1: the use of military you don't even have to fire
Speaker 1: a shot, right. A lot of times it ain't about
Speaker 1: we don't have these big aircraft carriers and battleships necessarily
Speaker 1: nowadays to start shooting at people. Sometimes we do, but
Speaker 1: it's about the flex which is why when something's heaten up,
Speaker 1: what do we do. We send a bunch of ships
Speaker 1: to those look absolutely terrifying within the view of wherever
Speaker 1: the Shenanigans are happening, and it sends a message. And
Speaker 1: we've done it to China, and we do it to
Speaker 1: North Korea, right when we do. We do the military
Speaker 1: games with South Korea.
Speaker 3: A lot of times, a lot of times when we
Speaker 3: send the ships, we'll even take a few hits before
Speaker 3: we retaliate.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: I've seen this before, right where they're like, oh, they've
Speaker 3: they've shot what was the last time with some pirates
Speaker 3: or something I just mentioned there. It was a pirate.
Speaker 3: They were like shooting stuff out of their ships, our
Speaker 3: giant destroyers. So we were like, what is this guy?
Speaker 3: And we let him do it a few times, and
Speaker 3: they were like, all right, well now you're gone. Now
Speaker 3: we're to it, you're gone.
Speaker 1: Well, the hois the Hoothies are a good example.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what I was thinking about.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, they kept shooting and they did they
Speaker 1: I think they injured a couple of people, they didn't
Speaker 1: kill anyone, and we and we didn't do anything right away.
Speaker 1: And then finally we're just like, hey, you guys want
Speaker 1: a free health fire, All right, we go we got
Speaker 1: one for here you go, buddy, like, yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: that's so? And and she knows this, right if I
Speaker 1: would hope she knows this. She serves on the Armed
Speaker 1: Services Committee what you You have to be five years
Speaker 1: old to know that if you cut off the access
Speaker 1: to the Panama Canal to US US interests, right, and
Speaker 1: he yeah, this is doesn't have to be a US
Speaker 1: owned ship, but ship going to or from the US,
Speaker 1: or a company where there might be investors from the US.
Speaker 1: It would be financially devastating in very short order and
Speaker 1: would impact our military abilities too for obvious reasons. So yes,
Speaker 1: very much, one thousand percent the idea that the US
Speaker 1: military could be utilized in relation to something with the
Speaker 1: Panama Canal. Absolutely absolutely. Greenland, let's say, I don't know,
Speaker 1: say China went in there and took over Greenland, Like
Speaker 1: these are some of these are crazy scenarios. But but
Speaker 1: this lunatic is just once you get him on the
Speaker 1: record for that. And then one of the others who
Speaker 1: did the Ashon thing, well, I thought it was Herona
Speaker 1: at first, I didn't see it. I was making some
Speaker 1: food or whatever. It was it Gillibrand or Shaheen.
Speaker 3: It was Shaheen. It was her. Audio was like seven
Speaker 3: minutes long, and I just cut out like two minutes
Speaker 3: that we could do.
Speaker 1: Okay, So this doesn't have that part in it, right, no, no.
Speaker 3: It does. But she goes on for a while about that.
Speaker 1: So she's fighting, so she starts asking really obscure questions,
Speaker 1: and at one point she asked him about Ashan. Do
Speaker 1: you guys know what Ahon is? I don't. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a musical artist, right.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I heard it was a convict, right, was.
Speaker 1: Do one of those prison ones over the phone to
Speaker 1: put an album out?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know what ah so. Ashan is a small
Speaker 1: collective of countries in in like the Philippines is in
Speaker 1: Ashan and East timor right, which if you know where
Speaker 1: that is, it's basically, you know, uh, you know, right
Speaker 1: next to Indonesia there and and like a couple of
Speaker 1: the really small islands and and the point is nobody
Speaker 1: knows what that is. And I and Pete hag Seth
Speaker 1: didn't know about this thing called a Sean or specifically
Speaker 1: what it was, although he seemed to know that they
Speaker 1: had a military alliance down or not a military alliance
Speaker 1: a thin, it's a trade and protective alliance, so some
Speaker 1: of its military. I had to look it up. I
Speaker 1: didn't know. But I also don't think I don't think
Speaker 1: that necessarily that's disqualified I think you task yourself with
Speaker 1: finding the most obscure thing because you thought it scored
Speaker 1: you points.
Speaker 3: This is why I'm so sort of like mentally checked
Speaker 3: out of these hearings. It's because I know whoever they
Speaker 3: are going to put up there and sit up in
Speaker 3: front of them, they're going to act like this, and
Speaker 3: it's completely irrational. And then it goes to the other
Speaker 3: point where when they're off camera, suddenly they're going to
Speaker 3: be joking around like it's not the most serious thing.
Speaker 3: So none of it. I don't take any of it serious. Yeah,
Speaker 3: whoever they bring up, bring up Matrix from the movie
Speaker 3: Commando as if he was a real guy, and he's
Speaker 3: going to be like in charge of the Department of Defense.
Speaker 3: They're gonna find something wrong with whoever it is, whoever
Speaker 3: is the it's And we saw this during the hearings
Speaker 3: for for Supreme Court. Right, whoever they bring up, right Cavanaugh,
Speaker 3: Cavanaugh suddenly like, oh, well, he was a horrible serial
Speaker 3: rapist in high school and he had lines in his house.
Speaker 3: Shut up, I don't tell anything you say seriously anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh he was a boofer?
Speaker 3: Right, Oh don't you can't forget about the boofing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of boofing soda, and then it all just
Speaker 1: blends together. Do you know how many secrets these women
Speaker 1: could find out from detainees if you put them all
Speaker 1: in the room at the same time. Oh oh oh,
Speaker 1: all right, sorry, I thought it needed three os. Oh man.
Speaker 1: Uh and we're not even done with this. We'll get
Speaker 1: into the Tim Kaine stuff. Uh, Mark Way mullen, let's see,
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, we got we got a bunch to go.
Speaker 1: And I promised you something that's not this so that
Speaker 1: your ears can stop bleeding for five minutes. Wait till
Speaker 1: I tell you what's going down at a theater in Paris.
Speaker 1: That's not part of the Inglorious Bastards movie. It's a
Speaker 1: different one. We'll get into it coming up next. Hang on,
Speaker 1: I had not I have not seen eighteen to twenty
Speaker 1: two inches forecast and Durham of snow next Wednesday. So
Speaker 1: I have not seen that. Oh and so said that,
Speaker 1: and then they change it to four inches. I bets
Speaker 1: that people were freaking out. Yeah. I don't know Oka,
Speaker 1: but well we'll definitely ask him how much snow he thinks. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'll get to that, all right, couple of things.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you about this this theater story real quick,
Speaker 1: but let me let me so ross. While I'm watching
Speaker 1: all this garbage yesterday, I got it on on the
Speaker 1: you know, on the TV there. But I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm jacking around the phone. I'm looking at some stuff
Speaker 1: on Twitter, but I've decidedly not really kind of looking
Speaker 1: at stuff surrounding the hearing, and I got into this
Speaker 1: rabbit hole man, which makes a lot of sense when
Speaker 1: you think about it. Have you seen the collection of
Speaker 1: Chinese electric vehicle videos where they're they're like dash cams
Speaker 1: and stuff, and so it's crazy that it's crazy because
Speaker 1: China builds electric vehicles, but like a lot of things
Speaker 1: with Chinese made products, they're not real good. They haven't
Speaker 1: stole enough tech, I guess yet. So there's tons of
Speaker 1: videos of some little Chinese girl driving because a lot
Speaker 1: of these are really tiny, little tiny cars, right, and
Speaker 1: they look kitted out inside. Mean, they look really kind
Speaker 1: of futuristic, but the tech doesn't work. So they'll be
Speaker 1: driving along and then randomly, even with drive when the
Speaker 1: drivers clearly assist the car will be like I want
Speaker 1: to go one hundred in the opposing way of traffic,
Speaker 1: and then it'll just do it. It'll just wig out,
Speaker 1: flip out, and then you see the driver trying to stop.
Speaker 1: It can't do anything. There's one where that takes out
Speaker 1: a whole line of people on motorcycles because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of motorcycles in China, and the girls like, she
Speaker 1: can't do anything. So it's a very dark rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: But like apparently it happens a lot, usually not to
Speaker 1: that extent, but the cars just randomly go, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what, I I don't want to be in one
Speaker 1: piece anymore, and then just and then they just crazy accelerate.
Speaker 1: The one is on a bridge, so it's like three
Speaker 1: lanes one way, three lanes the other, and the cars,
Speaker 1: you know, normal traffic. It's the motorcycle one and it
Speaker 1: jumps the divider and goes flying into the motorcycles there,
Speaker 1: and it's just whoo, why would you I one of those?
Speaker 1: What would possess you? There's so many examples of those.
Speaker 1: And then also Russians because Russia buys a lot of
Speaker 1: Chinese stuff and I guess they sell them in Russia,
Speaker 1: and everybody in Russia I think has a dash cam.
Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed that it's really for insurance purposes. Probably,
Speaker 1: But so there's tons of this video out there. Holy cow.
Speaker 1: All right, so that's a thing. But it all again,
Speaker 1: it makes sense when you think about it, all right.
Speaker 1: So let's go to this this other story though. I
Speaker 1: want you, here's what I want. I want you in
Speaker 1: your mind to envision who you think the board of
Speaker 1: directors or the management group of a historic theater in
Speaker 1: Paris would be. Probably, uh, well, theater kids, right, theater
Speaker 1: people probably pretty smug, I know this is stereotypical. Probably
Speaker 1: pretty smug Uppercruss society folks, probably very liberal time. So
Speaker 1: with that in mind, here we go. The got I
Speaker 1: am when it comes to French pronunciations, throw me in
Speaker 1: with forgill a. I like whatever. It's a theater gate
Speaker 1: Lrique theater in Paris.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: So it's a big, big old player. It looks like
Speaker 1: a you know, nice theater. And so they decided they
Speaker 1: were going to do something to show how woke and
Speaker 1: and accepting they are. So they decided to put together
Speaker 1: a free movie event for African migrants, right North African
Speaker 1: migrants at the theater. That was December tenth, and the
Speaker 1: event was entitled Reinventing the Welcome, and so they put
Speaker 1: out a thing and said, hey, some of the French
Speaker 1: are being mean to the the the migrants or the
Speaker 1: refugees here and worse. Oho, we're going to do a
Speaker 1: whole thing and show them that we really care. So
Speaker 1: that was December tenth. So they do the thing, They
Speaker 1: show the movie, they have some speakers, and then the
Speaker 1: event's over. What do you think happens? They refuse to leave.
Speaker 1: They went, oh this is kind of nice. Oh there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of baty.
Speaker 3: They love the show so much. They were like encore.
Speaker 1: They've been there since. Yeah, they've been there since. They
Speaker 1: have now occupied this theater for what five weeks? Five
Speaker 1: weeks the show They really like the show. No, they're
Speaker 1: just living in there and destroying it. And they're not
Speaker 1: just destroying it in all of the irony here. Attached
Speaker 1: to the theater is a calf like a coffee shop,
Speaker 1: you know, Paris cafe kind of thing that is owned
Speaker 1: and operated by an Algerian refugee who came years before.
Speaker 1: She's going to go out of business. The theater is
Speaker 1: going to go out of business. The theater is getting
Speaker 1: no money and they're still having to pay the bill,
Speaker 1: and they can't get the police to throw them out
Speaker 1: of there because they have they're they're claiming asylum in
Speaker 1: the theater or something. I don't know how French law works,
Speaker 1: but basically it's it's part that in part not being
Speaker 1: able to you know, like the squatters, they're basically squatters
Speaker 1: and they're protected.
Speaker 3: I for one am shocked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is what FAFO was made for, right
Speaker 1: because you know the wokism that went into doing that thing,
Speaker 1: which admittedly is not a it's not a terrible thing,
Speaker 1: but also it's like not out of the realm of possibility.
Speaker 1: And by the way, more migrants keep showing up, so
Speaker 1: you have I think they have three hundred in there
Speaker 1: now and initially there was two fifty. So like they're
Speaker 1: calling their friends and they're all just living in the theater.
Speaker 1: And of course because because and they're not shopping at
Speaker 1: this woman's cafe, he's not doing any business from them,
Speaker 1: because you have organizations that essentially are bringing them food
Speaker 1: at this building they've taken over. It's just craziness. Man.
Speaker 1: The sanitary conditions, as you can imagine, are awful, and
Speaker 1: and like some of the quotes in here. Management issued
Speaker 1: a statement last week that the number of people is
Speaker 1: continuing to increase, the sanitary conditions are deteriorating, and that
Speaker 1: they had called local authorities to help them find a
Speaker 1: housing solution. But then they wrote this in their own
Speaker 1: this is the board. I guess this is they wrote
Speaker 1: this in their own statement. They said, although the occupation
Speaker 1: is forced, it is unthinkable to throw these people out
Speaker 1: in the street. It is imperative the government find suitable
Speaker 1: housing for them. So I guess at least you're you're
Speaker 1: sticking with what you got here. But like, how how
Speaker 1: the whole world isn't red pilled on, how this experiment
Speaker 1: is going on is beyond me. And it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you have to deny the humanity of people, but you
Speaker 1: you have very different cultural things, and it used to
Speaker 1: be it was acceptable to say, hey, we don't do
Speaker 1: that here, right, we don't. We don't marry twelve year
Speaker 1: olds here, we don't do that here. So if you're
Speaker 1: gonna come here, you don't do that here.
Speaker 3: I mean, you do have a segment of these populations
Speaker 3: right in the UK and in Germany where you're like,
Speaker 3: you know, hey, this isn't right, Like you said, this
Speaker 3: isn't how we do things here, right, this isn't our traditions.
Speaker 3: The problem is when they call those things out, they're
Speaker 3: called racist bigots. And now it's when you've seen in
Speaker 3: the UK you can get arrested. You even post on
Speaker 3: Facebook like hey, you know, I don't really agree with this.
Speaker 3: I don't think we should be doing this like we're
Speaker 3: gonna show at your house and thuring in prison? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Or did you see in Ireland where they were
Speaker 1: where they were forced walking those young women because they
Speaker 1: just they went in this little town. And if you're
Speaker 1: if you go to Ireland, and I'm sure many of
Speaker 1: you have been to Ireland, it's it's it's it's crazy
Speaker 1: beautiful and it's just so green and everything's going on
Speaker 1: and they have Yeah, you go to the bigger cities,
Speaker 1: but I would encourage you to go to some of
Speaker 1: the smaller ones. I mean, it's it's really really even
Speaker 1: if it's like even to can Sail or something down
Speaker 1: on the south coast, which I know some tours go there,
Speaker 1: but it's not a very big town. And so they
Speaker 1: took a one that is much smaller than that, and
Speaker 1: they built a giant migrant center there, and then they
Speaker 1: blocked the road like the main road, that you can't
Speaker 1: drive down it and you can't walk down it because
Speaker 1: they and they have cameras all of the center that
Speaker 1: are pointing out and so some like women went there.
Speaker 1: And because the guys leave the centers mostly men, and
Speaker 1: they're coming into town and they're just harassing the women,
Speaker 1: so the women decided to go protest it. And you
Speaker 1: saw the Irish police essentially man handling these women who
Speaker 1: weren't attacking anybody. They were standing there chanting stuff on
Speaker 1: a public road. Admittedly, I don't know how the laws
Speaker 1: in Ireland work about public property. But yeah, again, it's
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. And it's not to say that
Speaker 1: there are not people who migrate or who claim asylum
Speaker 1: who are who are not being persecuted. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: We understand that there are a lot of bad actor
Speaker 1: governments all around there, but this ain't it man. And
Speaker 1: and for the theater people be like, no, it's fine,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. You're probably gonna go out of business. You're
Speaker 1: the board, you have a fiduciary responsibility. I don't know
Speaker 1: how it's all set up with this theater. But if
Speaker 1: they have a board, it might be a nonprofit kind
Speaker 1: of thing. People are just nuts. All right. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about some weather Shelby with Jeff Mark. So somebody sent
Speaker 1: me an email. I didn't see this in a pan.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like it. So the apple weather app
Speaker 1: yesterday or the Apple Weather yesterday forecast twenty inches of
Speaker 1: snow and Durham next Wednesday. Yeah, now it says five.
Speaker 1: Is there something that's changed? It is fine, even accurate
Speaker 1: for when? Yeah it says next Wednesday.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, we probably see some snow. I don't think
Speaker 10: we'll see twenty inches of snow.
Speaker 1: But yes, I don't know what the app. But I
Speaker 1: thought it was maybe the app street up. Then I
Speaker 1: thought maybe something changed. All right, so let's let's talk
Speaker 1: about what to expect, and let's try to get a
Speaker 1: little into next week.
Speaker 10: Yeah, cold as we head through this morning, and so
Speaker 10: below average this afternoon, but temperatures will be on the
Speaker 10: upswing end of the weekend. We'll get into the low fifties.
Speaker 10: But then here comes the Arctic air behind your front.
Speaker 10: As we head into Monday, we'll see sunshine only hit
Speaker 10: the mid thirties. Lows on Monday night and Tuesday morning
Speaker 10: in the load to mid teens. So it's going to
Speaker 10: get even colder next week, back the coldest weather so
Speaker 10: far this winter on the way, and in the meantime
Speaker 10: cold if you head out this morning early, then some
Speaker 10: afternoon sun breezy, a high thirty seven down to twenty
Speaker 10: with clear conditions tonight, Sunday tomorrow up to forty nine.
Speaker 10: We'll hit the upper forties Friday with some sunshine, low
Speaker 10: fifties with periods of rain this weekend ahead.
Speaker 1: Of the cold front.
Speaker 10: Then behind that front the clearing trend and the colder
Speaker 10: air moving in for Monday, with the high in the
Speaker 10: mid thirties.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, sir, to appreciate it, and we will
Speaker 1: be right back hang on yesterday. Just so, Rachel Maddow,
Speaker 1: if you don't remember, currently is only hosting Mondays. I
Speaker 1: guess which way? Why is this a thing now? In
Speaker 1: that because isn't that what Jon Stewart does? Doesn't he
Speaker 1: only do mondays on the Daily Show? That's weird anyway,
Speaker 1: So she's only doing Mondays. And if you remember, obviously
Speaker 1: she was the lead shrieker during Trump's first term, including
Speaker 1: very very starkly her assessment of his inauguration speech, which
Speaker 1: she like basically called a Hitler speech, and that was
Speaker 1: the darkest thing she'd ever heard. And MSNBC and CNN
Speaker 1: and others have been trying to pretend that they weren't
Speaker 1: like this, and then they decide that she's going to
Speaker 1: host five nights a week for the first hundred days
Speaker 1: of Trump in there, so you're you're clearly returning to it.
Speaker 1: It didn't make sense to me. But then yesterday, so
Speaker 1: that was two days ago, they announced that. Yesterday MSNBC
Speaker 1: had Rashida Jones announced she was leaving. She was she's out.
Speaker 1: They didn't fire her, she's leaving, and she just she
Speaker 1: chose the day after this decision was made to do it.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm miss I think maybe she's trying to
Speaker 1: burn it. She's doing to Biden man, burn it down
Speaker 1: on your way out. That's the only thing that makes sense.
Speaker 1: And she'd been running the network for four years too,
Speaker 1: so it's not like she just got there. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: of course they're they're you know, everyone's got Shane because
Speaker 1: she was the first black woman to run a major
Speaker 1: TV news network.
Speaker 3: You know, I really remembered that, like it's it's clear
Speaker 3: in my mind that Trump inauguration like that speech, I
Speaker 3: can't I got I came here on what twenty eleven
Speaker 3: in this show, so it was Obama's first term and
Speaker 3: then through the first selection against Romney, and this was
Speaker 3: like the first you know, conservative Republican president on the
Speaker 3: show that we were going to be covering. And I
Speaker 3: watched this speech. I was very curious about. I think
Speaker 3: we all were about how Trump.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was, how he talked on the great campaign, Yeah.
Speaker 3: How is this going to be? I remember watching this
Speaker 3: in my living room and I watched it and I
Speaker 3: was like, that was a great speech. That was that
Speaker 3: I felt uplifted. I thought it was inspiring. It wasn't crazy,
Speaker 3: it wasn't out there. It made a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: He was saying good things. And I immediately went over
Speaker 3: to MSNBC and I'm like, I'm like they had to
Speaker 3: be like, hey, that wasn't as bad as we thought
Speaker 3: it was going to be. And like you said, I
Speaker 3: remember Rachel Maddow looking at the screen being like, this
Speaker 3: is the darkest speech we have ever heard. I'm like,
Speaker 3: what are they talking about? And it was so apparent
Speaker 3: at that moment how incredibly biased they actually were, because
Speaker 3: it's like, where did you get that from? There's any
Speaker 3: way you could watch that speech and be like that
Speaker 3: was an evil, dark speech.
Speaker 1: It used to be. And I'll tell you the other
Speaker 1: thing that I used to do, but then it got
Speaker 1: so much of it once Trump got in there is
Speaker 1: I remember going back to covering Bush and then obviously
Speaker 1: into Obama and all that. One of the things I
Speaker 1: would do is like, every time the State of the
Speaker 1: Union got done, where do you think I was gonna go? Well,
Speaker 1: if it was a Republican with Bush, I want to
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over to MSNBC and I want to
Speaker 1: hear the crazy, like I would actively seek it out.
Speaker 1: And then with with with Obama, I want to see
Speaker 1: what Fox and I, you know, let's figure out what
Speaker 1: they're gonna flip out about. And then if Republican gave
Speaker 1: a speech like the you know, the the counter speech
Speaker 1: that that happens after, then I'm gonna go to CNN
Speaker 1: and see what they're saying. But MSNBC used to be
Speaker 1: the gold standard for that insanity, but then the insanity
Speaker 1: was everywhere, and so it kind of lost that luster.
Speaker 1: And it's because of exactly what Ross is talking about.
Speaker 1: The the idea, Like, it's comical that you would think that,
Speaker 1: Like I I exaggerate for not facts necessarily, but I
Speaker 1: like exaggerate emotionally about stuff, right most of the time.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's for humor. She was dead serious, man, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't honestly think we should send the email senators
Speaker 1: on that committee to Guantanamo to torture detainees to extract information.
Speaker 1: I don't really mean that. That's that's uh, it's it's uh.
Speaker 1: What was the term that they used instead of line,
Speaker 1: it's puffery. Puffery. I remember the first time I heard that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, so if you lie about yourself, it's
Speaker 1: puffery and it's not lyne okay, good, all of that stupidity.
Speaker 1: But now we just got it would turned on like
Speaker 1: a like a fire hose, and I just can't anymore,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people just can't. So
Speaker 1: it boggles the mind why you're going to bring in
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow, who was willing to do that, to be
Speaker 1: really the lead for your network for the first hundred days.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine the Can you imagine how deep a
Speaker 1: depression you're going to have if you only consume Rachel
Speaker 1: maddout the days a week for the first hundred days.
Speaker 3: That's what I was just thinking, because you do have
Speaker 3: these people, these like drones that are sitting at home
Speaker 3: watching the TV, and this is all they consume, and
Speaker 3: they're like, well, Rachel Maddow just said, that was the
Speaker 3: darkest speech we've ever had, you know, as an incoming president.
Speaker 1: So I got to be scared now real quickly. All right. So,
Speaker 1: because I hadn't seen this, Ross was telling me about it.
Speaker 1: So Tucker Carlson says he has a source, some spook,
Speaker 1: I'm sure or what did he say? A source?
Speaker 3: Is, yeah, yeah, somebody in the intelligence community.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, and what is it? This
Speaker 1: isn't pertaining to the drones or the drone insanity, all right,
Speaker 1: So what's up with.
Speaker 3: Because they sort of all just disappeared right after the holidays.
Speaker 3: And the theory is that the US military took out
Speaker 3: a Chinese satellite that was controlling the drones. So it
Speaker 3: took out the satellite and then took down the drones.
Speaker 1: And to that, I'd say, that is that is something
Speaker 1: that it could be believable. I mean, also because it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's about mitigating infrastructure and command and control.
Speaker 1: It's why we got bunker busters, right, figure out what
Speaker 1: command and control the enemy is, and then we'll go turn
Speaker 1: them to mist right, or you can just keep shooting
Speaker 1: their soldiers. So it operates on two fronts. So if
Speaker 1: it's if they were Chinese drones, you you know, you
Speaker 1: could go and and and shoot them out, take them out,
Speaker 1: and and now you know that's the kind of stuff
Speaker 1: with the whole Remember the mothership theory that the one
Speaker 1: congressman was pushing right right, So from Iran, right, I understand,
Speaker 1: I understand, No it was he's saying Iran or Russia.
Speaker 1: I know it was Iranian mothership right now says somebody
Speaker 1: else speculating they might be a Russian mothership. But my
Speaker 1: point is if that's the case, and you know, although
Speaker 1: like the Chinese had more than one satellite, but let's
Speaker 1: say that you know that if you take that satellite
Speaker 1: out that it renders them inoperable. It would seem the
Speaker 1: more efficient way rather than having you know, blackhawks over
Speaker 1: New Jersey neighborhood shooting drones out of the sky, Well,
Speaker 1: it'd be a lot more efficient just to blow the
Speaker 1: satellite to smothering. So I don't know that's interesting. But
Speaker 1: again it's an anonymous source, and so take it for
Speaker 1: what it's worth. And who knows. Who knows what's up?
Speaker 1: Maybe and maybe next week when Trump's in there, we
Speaker 1: get we get a little info because if if, in fact,
Speaker 1: the Chinese were running drones, spy drones and and you
Speaker 1: know whatever, we already know that they're running spies around
Speaker 1: military installations. We've we've arrested a bunch.
Speaker 3: Of We also know they ran a spy balloon right
Speaker 3: across the country. We didn't happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which, by the way, thankfully somebody did bring up
Speaker 1: hag Seth brought up yesterday and they were not pleased.
Speaker 1: Some of the Democrats are not pleased about that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I but I think if Trump, who likely is going
Speaker 1: to go to and get into a trade war or
Speaker 1: at least threaten one with China, I don't think he'll
Speaker 1: be able to not bring it up.
Speaker 3: So who knows.
Speaker 1: All right, let's drab a couple of calls here. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's start on the on the military, the heads side, Scott,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 11: Hey, So I was listening quite a bit yesterday on
Speaker 11: General the future General, the future leader of the military.
Speaker 12: Getting quiz and I had a flashback.
Speaker 13: Uh yeah, I'm calling General that because because so the
Speaker 13: whole deal is I had a flashback to when my
Speaker 13: son was in basic training, combat Engineer portlander Wood, Missouri.
Speaker 11: And they allow parents to see pictures of basic training
Speaker 11: some of the events and one that I was struck
Speaker 11: by is engraved on my brain, especially when he deployed
Speaker 11: to the Middle East. Was there were three females carrying
Speaker 11: two different soldiers. One was my son and one.
Speaker 14: Was another young man, and three of them to carry
Speaker 14: them off the battle field.
Speaker 1: Is your son? Is your son morbidly obese? Is he? No?
Speaker 3: Okay, he's not.
Speaker 1: He's not private pilot.
Speaker 11: No. No, he went in skinnier than me, but he's
Speaker 11: bigger than me. Male.
Speaker 12: But he was probably one fifty five one sixty six
Speaker 12: foot two.
Speaker 4: So was he.
Speaker 1: Fully what was he wearing? Was he wearing just fatigues
Speaker 1: or was he full kitted out?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 11: He was not full fitted out. No, no, no, it
Speaker 11: was just no gear, just boots, helmet, and they were
Speaker 11: they were doing a training exercise on obviously getting them
Speaker 11: off the battlefield.
Speaker 1: Sure, And I'm thinking, please.
Speaker 12: Please give me a two seventy five combat engineer to
Speaker 12: haul him off, and he needs to.
Speaker 14: Get off the field and not three pounds. I'm sorry, females,
Speaker 14: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Well, no, you don't have to be You don't have
Speaker 1: to be sorry, sir. If you're if you're one hundred pounds, dude,
Speaker 1: I might not have confidence that you could carry the ether,
Speaker 1: but we're just a lot of averages. Well, Scott, thanks
Speaker 1: for sharing that. No, it's the women way less on average,
Speaker 1: and they can't carry as much stuff on average. And
Speaker 1: I know you want to tell me a story about
Speaker 1: some really strong women, and trust me, they are out
Speaker 1: there and I totally recognize that, but that's not We're
Speaker 1: talking about the the average, okay, and that the whole
Speaker 1: the fact that that was their primary thing yesterday was
Speaker 1: actually kind of crazy to me because I assumed that
Speaker 1: you would have you would have concocted something far more egregious,
Speaker 1: because like you, you chirp and you yelled. But it
Speaker 1: all kind of made sense if you're willing to be
Speaker 1: honest and think about it. Zach, excuse me, Zach, what's
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning?
Speaker 1: Cave that way, I'm good sir.
Speaker 6: Heyah, I'll just gonna let you know.
Speaker 11: Yeah, those you're all, they're still in the area. I
Speaker 11: thought more last night.
Speaker 9: I thought about four of them last night, and right
Speaker 9: up around the ball Lake area, Weaver Dam and oh,
Speaker 9: Weaver Trail.
Speaker 11: It's like the fourth and fifth time I've seen them.
Speaker 1: And well there's guys. There's guys that go over there
Speaker 1: to fly drones and they flimb up, h they fimb
Speaker 1: up around both of the reservoirs. I've seen drones that
Speaker 1: were peate, but their hobby drones. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think you're flying hobby drones.
Speaker 6: But I said they're bigger than my Honda Civics.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. I don't know. That's different. Well,
Speaker 1: here's what you mean to do, sir. Don't shoot the drone.
Speaker 1: You got a rifle, sir? Yeah, meaning all right, great,
Speaker 1: Well grab your favorite, go out of the yard and
Speaker 1: shoot up at the satellites until you hit one. Problem solved.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let me know how that goes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what they're doing, though, it's very interesting.
Speaker 1: I've been noticing.
Speaker 9: I'm quite a bit.
Speaker 6: I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: But there well, you know, there's there's different, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty fascinating, you know, and thank you very much
Speaker 1: for the call there, sir. Let me let me just
Speaker 1: say this, there are drones are utiling like. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of really good uses for drone and one of
Speaker 1: them is that they use they use out West. They
Speaker 1: used drones for fire surveillance too. And they're pretty big drones.
Speaker 1: I've seen them landed and they use them basically if
Speaker 1: they're trying to, you know, figure out what the hell
Speaker 1: is going on. Now, you can fly a helicopter, you
Speaker 1: do all that stuff, but it's far more efficient with
Speaker 1: the drones in some of these instances. And the ones
Speaker 1: they usedn't they weren't as big as a car, but
Speaker 1: they were. They were as big as like a love
Speaker 1: seat or not love seat, like a like a lazy boy.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a pretty damn big thing. So,
Speaker 1: you know, not not all drones are are problematic necessarily,
Speaker 1: but sure enough they have those and uh, did you
Speaker 1: see what is the guy's name, Bill, Who's the guy
Speaker 1: who tried to short Amway Akerman? Bill Ackerman, right, the
Speaker 1: investor Ackerman. That's what I'm looking at So he was
Speaker 1: tweeting back and forth with Elon. Oh wait, hold on Boston,
Speaker 1: We'll see what he wants. All right. He was tweeting
Speaker 1: with Elon about, Hey, what we need is we need
Speaker 1: drone a firefighting drones set up and that that's pretty interesting. Actually, right,
Speaker 1: you have a fleet of drones. They have some capacity
Speaker 1: obviously to hold water. Yeah, I don't know how all
Speaker 1: the tech works with how much weight even some of
Speaker 1: those professional drones can hold. But if you have a
Speaker 1: fleet of them, if you have an army, you can
Speaker 1: put fire suppressant. You can map fire suppressant, so rather
Speaker 1: than having to fly the planes where you see all
Speaker 1: the pink stuff coming out and people are like, well
Speaker 1: why is it pink? Well, one, it's a chemical, but
Speaker 1: two it also indicates where you've landed the fire suppressant.
Speaker 1: So if you're trying to cover a grid, drones are
Speaker 1: really good at covering a grid, which is why they
Speaker 1: can do those amazing you know drone shows and stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, all of these are valid uses.
Speaker 1: But you know, if those were Chinese drones, they took
Speaker 1: out a set like, I could believe that, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. So you know, make your own judgment there. Right,
Speaker 1: let's figure out what the heck Boston Paul wants. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: what can I do for you?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 6: You know a lot of those drones are being used
Speaker 6: for nefarious things like coaching deer. See them up the
Speaker 6: area around the wooded the areas.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 11: Good.
Speaker 6: Anyway, Wait, how you doing today?
Speaker 1: The drones stealing deer? They just grab them and with.
Speaker 6: Them, put them up there and see where the deer at.
Speaker 1: You got to get some of those Ukrainian drones with
Speaker 1: the explosives and you just do you have chili ready
Speaker 1: to go and make sausage and you're good to go.
Speaker 6: So I don't know, I'm calling to apologize. I can't
Speaker 6: go to the taste and uh all.
Speaker 1: The Battle of the Barrels that I'm going that I'm
Speaker 1: hosting down in Beaufort here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just two short of notice.
Speaker 11: Maybe the next time, but you.
Speaker 1: Know you're retired anything, Boston Paul.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's a three hour ride and I don't
Speaker 6: go any further than an hour without my medical staff.
Speaker 6: So you know, I.
Speaker 1: Got a wet nurse.
Speaker 3: I mean, we talk all right, so we'll put you
Speaker 3: down as I I mean, guys, the dude is in
Speaker 3: constant danger because of how he took away Weddy Boulger.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a numb fact.
Speaker 1: Really from the winter Hill Gang by calling into the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the guys probably you ever see an interview
Speaker 1: with who is the number two of the winter Hill Guy?
Speaker 1: Who is his number two?
Speaker 3: I think that was Hank Hill.
Speaker 6: Okay, there was there was one guy, sus flinga he got.
Speaker 1: I saw an interview with whoever his number two was,
Speaker 1: And to this day, his biggest thing is that white
Speaker 1: He was a rat and it's just you could tell
Speaker 1: it just eats a man. So I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: you are in danger because he doesn't it didn't still
Speaker 1: be a fan of law enforcement or rats that guy.
Speaker 6: So no, no, so so yeah, so it's just just
Speaker 6: a little too far for a quick hit and run.
Speaker 6: So it's okay, REQUIRE understand.
Speaker 1: I understand that you probably can't you know, can't hold
Speaker 1: your liquor. So so all right.
Speaker 6: That's what I said, I need my medical staff.
Speaker 1: I understand. Well, let's appreciate it. There you go, all right,
Speaker 1: So if you don't know what he's talking about UH.
Speaker 1: At the UH we're doing a thing Battle of the
Speaker 1: Barrels at Beaufort Hotel. They've done this in previous years,
Speaker 1: but we've we've partnered up with them this year and UH,
Speaker 1: I don't know, a little mini vacation you guys want
Speaker 1: to come out. I'm going to be hosting UH it's
Speaker 1: it's and it's really nice, like it's a lot of
Speaker 1: very high end bourbons. But also the restaurant at the
Speaker 1: Beaufort Hotel is fabulous and so they're going to have
Speaker 1: a big old, I mean big old gourmet spring it's
Speaker 1: gonna be really really like good stuff. And then the
Speaker 1: hotel's really nice, and I think they're doing a room
Speaker 1: rate special that's under one hundred bucks too. So I'd
Speaker 1: love as many as we can get from the Triad,
Speaker 1: the Triangle and all points in between to pop on down.
Speaker 1: It's okay, you've earned a vacation. We all did. If
Speaker 1: you listened to even two minutes of the confirmation here
Speaker 1: in yesterday. You need a day a day for you.
Speaker 1: We got tweeted it out. You go to the Beaufort
Speaker 1: Hotel and it's Beaufort Hotel and see is their website
Speaker 1: the thirty four North restaurant, and then we got links
Speaker 1: on our page and we're given away one of the
Speaker 1: dinner tickets, so check that thing out. All right, let
Speaker 1: me do this eight nineteen. We'll go ahead, take a break,
Speaker 1: and then yes, we're gonna get back into this.
Speaker 8: You let an audit of any organization?
Speaker 15: Yes or no?
Speaker 8: I don't want a long answer, yes or no? Have
Speaker 8: you led an audit of any organization of which you
Speaker 8: were in charge?
Speaker 1: So maybe you should grab some bourbon and join us
Speaker 1: in just a few With Nancy Mason Crockett screaming at
Speaker 1: each other and telling him to go fight outside, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: no now, and they're already dysfunctional enough. Would I watch? Yes?
Speaker 1: Should we put it in a cage match and the
Speaker 1: rotunda and stream it? Yes, but it's not a good thing.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't have hurt my eyes, So I guess
Speaker 1: maybe that makes me a little bit of a hypocrite.
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, I'm just saying, if it's gonna happen,
Speaker 1: I want to be there, but it shouldn't happen. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, very good. Let's get back to this shell
Speaker 1: we and let's hear from some of the dudes. This
Speaker 1: is a Senator Reid. He is the well he was
Speaker 1: the chair. Now he's the ranking member, the highest ranking Democrat.
Speaker 1: He's the guy who sits next to the chair. And
Speaker 1: he doesn't He sure as hell doesn't yell very much.
Speaker 1: It's hard to hear even when I was watching it yesterday.
Speaker 1: When he does use his words, however loud they are,
Speaker 1: they're stupid. Case in point, here we go.
Speaker 16: The soldiers I served with were proud to do so,
Speaker 16: but it was certainly not the nation's most capable of
Speaker 16: military by any standards. We have made great progress since then.
Speaker 16: Today the Taunton offense is fully integrated. Every race and
Speaker 16: religion is accepted. Women serve in all combat roles and
Speaker 16: leadership positions. Sexual orientation is irrelevant to service, and the
Speaker 16: all volunteer force visibly reflects the nation it protects. Our
Speaker 16: military is more diverse than it has ever been, but
Speaker 16: more importantly, it is more lethal than has ever been.
Speaker 1: Do you know you guys agree with that? Is it
Speaker 1: more lethal? And is it more lethal because you can
Speaker 1: have high ranking officers posting photos of themselves and their
Speaker 1: puppy play masks? Is that what makes it more lethal?
Speaker 1: From a technology standpoint, maybe it's more lethal, but lethality.
Speaker 1: When you talk about lethality within military, you're not talking
Speaker 1: about just how well this one gun shoots, or what
Speaker 1: this tank can do, or look at this crazy the
Speaker 1: F twenty two Raptor, which is that thing's amazing. That's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. But it's also you have to there's people there,
Speaker 1: and it is undeniable if you look at recruiting numbers,
Speaker 1: that part of the military being as strong as ever
Speaker 1: requires confidence of people who may want to join the military.
Speaker 1: And clearly when you got into all of this stuff,
Speaker 1: there are people who didn't join, and there are people
Speaker 1: who over ten thousand members of the military who you
Speaker 1: excommunicated because they wouldn't get the vaccine, the COVID vaccine,
Speaker 1: which by the way, Haig Seth and Trump have committed
Speaker 1: to reinstating, given him back pay and equal rank, and
Speaker 1: I hope they take him up. How many do you
Speaker 1: how many of those ten thousand people, including seals and
Speaker 1: other like real the guys who do the heavy lifting
Speaker 1: when it has to get physical that you're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't need you, do you know that? What what
Speaker 1: was the estimate I saw on the amount of the
Speaker 1: dollar amount of training for some of our like Delta guys,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's over a million dollars for some
Speaker 1: of them. And I don't know how they arrive at that,
Speaker 1: but there's a big investment there. And you're just like, nah,
Speaker 1: so don't give me this garbage. And it's not. It's
Speaker 1: not more lethal or better than it's ever been because
Speaker 1: you decided to go ahead and and you know, implement
Speaker 1: a trans general or something like. That's that's garbage because
Speaker 1: morale is a big part of military and that morale
Speaker 1: is not just the soldiers serving, but also those who
Speaker 1: might want to serve. Looking at it going, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to go do something cool and and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe the recruiter will tell me one thing, it'll be another,
Speaker 1: but at the very least the culture looks like something
Speaker 1: I want to associate with. And no, and then we
Speaker 1: then we get into this too. This was the first
Speaker 1: gotcha all right, let me yeah, let me grab this
Speaker 1: real quick. Oh wait, hold on, there we go. All right,
Speaker 1: this is this is just funny to me, but they
Speaker 1: were all but hurt over it.
Speaker 16: If you have made statements to your platoon after being
Speaker 16: briefed by a JAG officer. Well, by the way, would
Speaker 16: you explain what a jag off is.
Speaker 7: I don't think I need to, sir. Why not because
Speaker 7: the men and women watching understand.
Speaker 16: Well, perhaps some of my colleagues don't understand.
Speaker 7: It would be a JAG officer who puts his or
Speaker 7: her own priorities in front of the warfighters, their promotions,
Speaker 7: their medals, in front of having the backs that those
Speaker 7: are making the tough calls on the front lines.
Speaker 1: Thank you interest all right, So that was the setup
Speaker 1: to it, and then later some of the other Democrats
Speaker 1: brought you're calling all jag officers that he was very
Speaker 1: clear of what he said. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know this, if you've ever spoken to anyone who's
Speaker 1: spent any time in the military, they they have a
Speaker 1: lot of inside jokes and uh insults. It's why if
Speaker 1: I have somebody call up and go, oh the Navy stupid,
Speaker 1: and I'm in the Army, then somebody from the the
Speaker 1: Air Force will call up, and then the marin will
Speaker 1: call up and call the Air Force, the Chair Force,
Speaker 1: and like this is all stuff that happens. So the idea,
Speaker 1: the idea that you would be like, ah, this term
Speaker 1: jag off, which you know if or not people will
Speaker 1: use it, and obviously they may be mistakenly use it
Speaker 1: when they want to say the other thing, but it
Speaker 1: has a real specific meaning in this case, which he
Speaker 1: which he obviously explained, and and that was the opening
Speaker 1: gotcha because he was the first Democrat to get to
Speaker 1: talk to him, and that's how he started it. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell's going on? Man? Oh crap,
Speaker 1: all right, what is the caller went away? What was
Speaker 1: he going to say? Russell? Okay, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: hang on, let me grab this here real quickly. Grab
Speaker 1: by Donna. Hey, Donna, what's going on?
Speaker 17: Good morning, Casey. You just wanted to make a correction
Speaker 17: for you. Bring in the correction. Whitey's second hand man,
Speaker 17: his right hand man, excuse me, was Stephen the rifleman Flemy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that probably was Well I didn't say the name.
Speaker 1: I said. I didn't know the name, so.
Speaker 17: Oh maybe maybe Boston Paul did. And when I heard it,
Speaker 17: I was like, ah, that didn't sound right.
Speaker 7: Say that again.
Speaker 1: He's usually drunk, so take everything you say enough. Whoever
Speaker 1: it was, I just remember watching the interview, and I'm
Speaker 1: like that dude, the seething hatred for the rat was
Speaker 1: and he talked about well they kept trying to flip
Speaker 1: him and how much time he did and all that stuff.
Speaker 17: So it's funny because he became a rat himself. He
Speaker 17: dropped a dime on Bulger in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: Well after Bulger had already Yeah. Yeah, I'm not defending
Speaker 1: the guy. I just it was a very interesting interview
Speaker 1: to watch, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 17: So, oh yeah, I love this kind of history. Fascinating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, thank you very much if you
Speaker 1: want to see it. It's what is the name of
Speaker 1: the series. It is Business I think Business Insider. Who
Speaker 1: does where they bringing experts to like look at watch
Speaker 1: war movies and then so they bring in, you know,
Speaker 1: some guy who was a seal and how real is it?
Speaker 1: You ever seen those videos they had that It was
Speaker 1: one of those how crime works. Yeah, that's what it was,
Speaker 1: how crime works? And that's who they were interviewed, was
Speaker 1: that dude, And it was it was. It was very interesting,
Speaker 1: well at least to me. All Right, one more little
Speaker 1: chunk of ono here? Uh what am I? Oh? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right here we go. Let's let's Let's talk Tim
Speaker 1: Kaine for just a moment, shall we.
Speaker 3: Second, Gentleman Doug Mhoff.
Speaker 15: Here we are in ann and Dale, Virginia, where the
Speaker 15: Biden Harris Change just opened the first coordinated campaign office
Speaker 15: in Virginia.
Speaker 1: Important here in a moment, and we are going to
Speaker 1: one win this election.
Speaker 16: Senator Kane is going to go back to the Senate
Speaker 16: and we're all going to do this thing together.
Speaker 15: Since taken office, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have stood
Speaker 15: up for our commonwealth at every turn, building a stronger
Speaker 15: economy for everyone, creating millions of new jobs, defending women's
Speaker 15: reproductive freedoms, and so much more. Virginia, We've got to
Speaker 15: have the backs of Joe and Kamala and win this November.
Speaker 3: Thanks so m.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, why am I playing this cut for you,
Speaker 1: this little flashback, because yesterday Tim Kain spent the entire
Speaker 1: almost the entire time that he had yelling at yelling
Speaker 1: at hegg Seth because he's on his third marriage. Now,
Speaker 1: there's some other salacious stuff with Tim Kaine which people's
Speaker 1: even Snopes didn't debunk it, but I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get into it. And that may be about the state
Speaker 1: of his marriage because frankly, I don't know why you're
Speaker 1: picking up, but he decided because hegg Seth while he
Speaker 1: was still married to his second wife, impregnated what then
Speaker 1: became his third wife. But without any details there, like
Speaker 1: in North Carolina right where you've got to sit out
Speaker 1: for your divorce, like that would be a play. So
Speaker 1: I don't know all the details there, but Tim Kane
Speaker 1: and Tim Kaine is standing next to Doug Emhoff who
Speaker 1: was hitting the babysitter right, destroyed his first marriage. And
Speaker 1: Tim Kine himself when he was remember he was Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton's guy, and when asked about Bill and Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: said that it was distasteful to talk about those things
Speaker 1: because they didn't pertain to qualifications for the job. So
Speaker 1: my point is he's a giant hypocrite. But that's nothing
Speaker 1: new in Washington. It's just kind of how they roll.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get Jeff mar not a hypocrite. But
Speaker 1: I know year to well plot out your winter travel plans.
Speaker 1: What's going on, man?
Speaker 10: Yeah, boy, it is feeling like winter. If you're gonna
Speaker 10: be out this morning and into the afternoon. We've got
Speaker 10: an even colder air mass though made making its way
Speaker 10: into the area as we head towards the beginning of
Speaker 10: next week, and maybe some winter weather as we continue
Speaker 10: towards Tuesday night and Wednesday. In the meantime, drying cold
Speaker 10: this morning, a sunny and breezy afternoon. You're thirty seven
Speaker 10: for the high overnight, clear, around twenty for the low tomorrow,
Speaker 10: a little bit warmer Sunday, with the hype to forty nine.
Speaker 10: We'll stand in the upper forties on Friday afternoon under
Speaker 10: a sunny sky, which starts the weekend. The head of
Speaker 10: a front will be rain high as we hit the
Speaker 10: low fifties on Saturday and into Sunday morning, and then
