Speaker 1: Coming up on the show as I beat my microphone
Speaker 1: for no reason. So I'm swinging my hand around the
Speaker 1: uh Washington yesterday. I'm not gonna play an ounce really
Speaker 1: of I'm not gonna play an ounce of the audio
Speaker 1: from the thing, So don't you're not gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: get torture with that. But the Corey Booker insanity up
Speaker 1: there and the Anna Paulina Luna or whatever, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't just her, but with proxy voting for new parents,
Speaker 1: it's not just new moms, it's actually new parents. The
Speaker 1: way that that's the rule change seems to be constructed.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a day that a lot got accomplished, even
Speaker 1: though Luna got her thing. It literally then ended with
Speaker 1: the leadership in the house like all right, we're not
Speaker 1: doing anything for the rest of the week. Really, and
Speaker 1: it is it is a control. What you saw was
Speaker 1: what's known as a dis charge petition. Leadership doesn't like them.
Speaker 1: Leadership wants to control what bills actually get votes. And
Speaker 1: to some extent, I understand that if they were churning
Speaker 1: stuff out, but like you guys really haven't been churning
Speaker 1: anything out. And I don't know how I feel about
Speaker 1: the rule change. Honestly, like some you know, stuff like
Speaker 1: that sometimes makes sense, but you know, one of the
Speaker 1: things in an elected body, and you've seen it, not
Speaker 1: just at the federal level. But she's like the lottery, right,
Speaker 1: Remember when they wanted to get the lottery in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: If you've been here long enough to remember that, what
Speaker 1: do they do? They literally timed it and had to
Speaker 1: coincide it with what one member's wedding, so he wasn't there,
Speaker 1: and then there was another person for some reason, I
Speaker 1: think maybe illness, and then that's that's what you do
Speaker 1: if you can get the number. Remember when remember when
Speaker 1: that lunatic state senator starts screaming her head off because
Speaker 1: she claimed that all the Democrats were at nine to
Speaker 1: eleven memorials would they weren't and that Republicans took advantage
Speaker 1: of it they which they did. They took they took
Speaker 1: advantage of y'all not being there. But it was literally
Speaker 1: listed as a possible thing that could be voted on
Speaker 1: that day. So like there's a certain gamesmanship to that.
Speaker 1: But in retrospect, you also saw what happened during COVID
Speaker 1: right where they basically said, you can remember the dude,
Speaker 1: who was who was voting on the yacht? The's proxy
Speaker 1: voting on a yacht, And they're like, that's not really
Speaker 1: what that was intended for. So like, I get the
Speaker 1: arguments all around, but I don't know that it's a
Speaker 1: productive use of the gopiece time to die on this
Speaker 1: hill even though it's one of their members who assentised.
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't just there. It was bipartisan, I guess,
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, you're talking about talking about babies, which
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was kind of a debate issue
Speaker 1: in Washington over some other stuff. So but I don't
Speaker 1: have any kids, so I don't know that I can
Speaker 1: speak intelligently about what it is to attempt to accomplish
Speaker 1: you know, you know, go to it. Obviously, this is
Speaker 1: a unique situation because they're still supposed to be working
Speaker 1: right and so feasibly, feasibly you're going to have to
Speaker 1: have childcare there if you're a member of Congress for
Speaker 1: all the you know, the stuff you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a thousand page bills you apparently
Speaker 1: are able to read in a day, so you can't
Speaker 1: do that bouncing a baby on your knees. So I
Speaker 1: don't know what any of this looks like, but I
Speaker 1: know some people, but mostly women, obviously, mostly women who
Speaker 1: have a baby. Usually it's not the first one. It's
Speaker 1: that old meme right where the first kid is like,
Speaker 1: you got all the expensive stuff, all the safety equipment.
Speaker 1: Time you get to your third, you're like, babe, then
Speaker 1: go play with the wood shipper. Go play with the
Speaker 1: wood shipper kids. Right. I was the oldest, so like,
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to do anything initially, and by the
Speaker 1: time my brother gets along, my mom say you want
Speaker 1: to drive, you can stand up? Now, you can do that.
Speaker 1: So and then so I've seen I've worked with people
Speaker 1: that had a baby and then I see him in
Speaker 1: the office like two weeks later, I'm like, didn't you
Speaker 1: just have a baby? Okay, all right? And then others
Speaker 1: who will take like a sabbatical. One of the sellers
Speaker 1: up in Minneapolis when I was up there, she had
Speaker 1: two babies while I was up there. She took a
Speaker 1: year off for each baby. I'd forget that she worked
Speaker 1: there and then she come back. So all that to say,
Speaker 1: we'll get into it with one of those up in
Speaker 1: the up in the middle of all of it. Congressman
Speaker 1: Brad Not, he'll join us at eight oh five and
Speaker 1: we'll talk babies and whatever. Corey Booker was doing. I
Speaker 1: refused to call it a filibuster because I don't I
Speaker 1: think it is a filibuster? Is it? As I understand,
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to be I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: be coy here. As I understand, the filibuster is about
Speaker 1: holding up an objection to a specific piece of legislation. Azzawi,
Speaker 1: Corey Booker was doing. His beef was all everything and nothing,
Speaker 1: really everything and nothing. He just rambled on for twenty
Speaker 1: four hours and twenty minutes or whatever it was for
Speaker 1: about how much Trump he how much he hates Trump,
Speaker 1: dood link, what Trump's doing. Well, that's not a piece
Speaker 1: of legislation, that's that's an agenda. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if it qualifies as a filibuster. I know that the
Speaker 1: Senate's also not going to accomplish anything this week as
Speaker 1: a result, which in that in that sense, it fills filibuster.
Speaker 1: If that was his intended goal, I just don't know
Speaker 1: that he's smart enough to figure that out. I don't know.
Speaker 1: And while he's sitting there rambling on his staff is
Speaker 1: getting arrested for trying to bring handguns into the one
Speaker 1: of the capitol buildings. Oh, Roster, we know if it
Speaker 1: was T Bone. I didn't even check that the dude
Speaker 1: it was the dude? His guy was that T Bone.
Speaker 1: I don't know what T Bone's real name is. I
Speaker 1: forgot about T Bone and corn Pops. Do you think
Speaker 1: corn Pop and T Bone ever crossed paths? They're bad dudes.
Speaker 1: Although I think Booker eventually admitted that T Bone was
Speaker 1: like an amalgamation, now let's say that word wrong whatever,
Speaker 1: a collection of former friends that he kind of crafted
Speaker 1: a single individual out of and not real. So in
Speaker 1: that sense, maybe there's no way corn Pop could have
Speaker 1: met him. But that's thinking that corn Pop's real. So,
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I mean, it's not that far
Speaker 1: from South Jersey to uh, you know, Delaware. So maybe
Speaker 1: somebody should ask him, because I'm sure he's gonna be
Speaker 1: doing a crap ton of interviews while they all uh,
Speaker 1: while they all laud each other. Why is Boston Paul
Speaker 1: sending me pictures of beagles? Are you day drinking again?
Speaker 2: Bro?
Speaker 1: What is that? Okay? All right? I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on. I have some questions about a few things
Speaker 1: that are going on now. Kyle, you guys, Kyle and
Speaker 1: News is not here this week. He's on vacation this week,
Speaker 1: so you might have picked up on that. And I
Speaker 1: am not familiar with the fill ins that they found
Speaker 1: for him, because we run a nationwide market by market
Speaker 1: news network within the company obviously, because we have news
Speaker 1: talk stations everywhere, So depending on how things are staffed,
Speaker 1: you may have somebody's feeling in from a different part
Speaker 1: of the country when your local news guy or guys
Speaker 1: or gals are gone. And since Kyle's out, that's what
Speaker 1: we have. And what's the Bless their heart, this played
Speaker 1: this morning. Somebody referenced this yesterday to me, and I
Speaker 1: didn't initially know what you were talking about, so I
Speaker 1: had to Once I've now figured out what it is,
Speaker 1: I've contacted the unnecessary people here this woof all right,
Speaker 1: tell me if you can figure out why I may
Speaker 1: have just did an oof at this thing. Okay, you ready?
Speaker 3: Here we go to the new Bill in North Carolina
Speaker 3: is proposing to make The Andy Griffin Show the official
Speaker 3: television show of the state. The show, which aired from
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty to nineteen sixty eight starred Andy Griffin and
Speaker 3: showcase Small Town Life.
Speaker 1: What are we doing? What is is?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: I think you get don't you get thrown out of
Speaker 1: North Carolina for that? You know? They never do this too,
Speaker 1: Bobby Graham, they would, they would never. Oh it's Griffith,
Speaker 1: it's what what is what?
Speaker 5: It's Andy Griffin and he is of course related to
Speaker 5: Kathy Griffin.
Speaker 1: No, don't do that to him. I understand that people
Speaker 1: are gonna object politically. Just just cheer a fany Okay,
Speaker 1: don't do that to him.
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to put a Kathy Griffin wing in there, right,
Speaker 5: Maybe she could present it like like a voice recordingly,
Speaker 5: here's my my dad.
Speaker 1: I love it, dude. What if it's not Kathy Griffin Griffins.
Speaker 1: What if it's the mythical creature Griffins you're with, with
Speaker 1: the with the the lion body and the bald eagle
Speaker 1: head and the wings and all that, right, Maybe that's
Speaker 1: who he's related to.
Speaker 5: It was amazing a Barney Fife could balance on that
Speaker 5: thing and fly around Mayberry.
Speaker 1: Hey man, you know what they didn't have crime?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: No? Why because you'd be committing crime, and what would happen.
Speaker 1: A griffin would come in.
Speaker 5: He would pick you up and dump you in the pond. No,
Speaker 5: it would eat you, man, and Ron Howard would just
Speaker 5: keep fishing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he did. It was a simpler time,
Speaker 1: it was. And then poor Mountain Airy is now gonna
Speaker 1: have to build a giant Griffin statue. All right, go
Speaker 1: by where that sonic is kind of towards the middle
Speaker 1: of town, that big parking lot there. You just boom,
Speaker 1: just five hundred foot tall giant winged lion eagle thing.
Speaker 1: It'll change the It'll change the whole makeup of the community. Man.
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm gonna make I'm going to make
Speaker 1: an educated guess that the fill in newspeople are not
Speaker 1: from Uh well, they're clearly not from North Carolina. I
Speaker 1: know all of our newspeople, but not from around here. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'll probably get in trouble for teasing them. But it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a little funny.
Speaker 5: You think merv Griffin is also gonna have a wing?
Speaker 1: Oh how many the mount area is gonna have to, Like,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go bankrupt building these new statues. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's Uh, I think that's probably or we
Speaker 1: could build the statues in Griffin, Austria, right, go right
Speaker 1: to the source. Who was the Vikings used to have
Speaker 1: a player. Uh, I mean he still plays, but hey,
Speaker 1: he's on like some big medical His name's Griffin. I
Speaker 1: remember his first I think it is Everson Everson Griffin.
Speaker 1: So perhaps that's what they were talking about. Don't know.
Speaker 1: All Right, one more time, just in case you're we're
Speaker 1: a little groggy the first time I played it, and
Speaker 1: then we'll move on, and uh, I will I will
Speaker 1: notify the.
Speaker 3: New bill in North Carolina is proposing to make The
Speaker 3: Andy Griffin Show the official television show of the state.
Speaker 3: The show, which aired from nineteen sixty to nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 3: starred Andy Griffin and showcase small town life.
Speaker 1: All Right, I have a question, just on the face
Speaker 1: of it, and let's assume that the word Griffith is
Speaker 1: that replaced. Is there another show that would even compete
Speaker 1: with the Andy Grifffith Show for North the official show
Speaker 1: of North Carolina? I can't think. I mean, there's clearly
Speaker 1: there are shows that are associated with North Carolina. What
Speaker 1: was the one when we were in high school in college?
Speaker 1: What was the daw Dawson's Creek, right, that's.
Speaker 5: A Dawson's Creek, and One Tree Hill.
Speaker 1: And One Tree Hill were the two big Wilmington ones.
Speaker 1: Obviously there was a lot of movies, but as far
Speaker 1: as TV shows, I don't know that there's any that
Speaker 1: compete on that level. That just is like, you know people,
Speaker 1: because you had not only did you have everybody from
Speaker 1: Aunt Bee lived in Chatham County, right, didn't she after
Speaker 1: the show, she lived her whole life there, right, just
Speaker 1: kind of out in them. I don't know, I'm not
Speaker 1: an insultant, but you're just kind of out in the
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere there, and like the connections are are
Speaker 1: are very strong. So yeah, all right, that's enough teasing
Speaker 1: the poor fillin newsperson. But yeah, we'll go ahead and
Speaker 1: get that, get that handled. So yeah, just the long
Speaker 1: preview this morning. But that's okay. Sadly we have lost someone.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you who that is coming up here in
Speaker 1: just a few minutes. And the remember how I said,
Speaker 1: I remember talking the other day and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, Europe over the Marie La Penn thing, and
Speaker 1: they're like, well, the US, the UF used to mind
Speaker 1: its own business and let us do what we want
Speaker 1: to do. The problem is, and I'd love that to
Speaker 1: be the case. I just I can't get over the
Speaker 1: fact that every time I turn around, some moonbat elected
Speaker 1: official or a member of the media or whatever is
Speaker 1: romanticizing the way Europe does things. Right, every time a
Speaker 1: Republican wins the electoral college but not the popular vote,
Speaker 1: we gotta listen to it for a year. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: so much better what they're doing, even though you're seeing
Speaker 1: what they're doing right now and it almost looks criminal.
Speaker 1: Or every right leaning political candidate that gains traction all
Speaker 1: of a sudden starts committing procedural crimes all of a
Speaker 1: sudden coincidence probably, and so they romanticize and romanticize Europe.
Speaker 1: This concept of what San Francisco is setting out to
Speaker 1: do is a European thing, and in fact, up in
Speaker 1: like there's a few countries, but I think Norway is
Speaker 1: the one, or Sweetens, the one with the biggest gap,
Speaker 1: and it is a it is a new and different
Speaker 1: way of you know, doing uh uh, doing criminal prosecutions,
Speaker 1: even when it's administrative stuff like tickets and stuff. It's
Speaker 1: what it's it is. It flies in the face of
Speaker 1: we are all equal under the law, which is a
Speaker 1: basic tenet I I thought, I thought we all agreed on.
Speaker 1: I don't agree that it always happens. Let's be abundantly
Speaker 1: clear here, you got, you got a few billion dollars
Speaker 1: or your famous person, the road might be a little
Speaker 1: easier for you if you ever you ever run into
Speaker 1: some legal stuff. And for for years there's been an
Speaker 1: industry that there's just to push back on that. And
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that. If if you do the crime,
Speaker 1: you should do the time. But then we get into
Speaker 1: things where like did you hear over in the UK
Speaker 1: where they're going to be doing bond uh, and they
Speaker 1: they'll put bond that is cheaper for people of color
Speaker 1: than for white people. They said it like, it's like
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. So said, I'm not surprised San
Speaker 1: Francisco wants to jump in this, but it's a horrible idea.
Speaker 1: And uh, it just ignores the basic tenet of this country.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back. Hang on, what about Gomer
Speaker 1: Pyle us you can't make it? I was saying, is
Speaker 1: there a show that is more deserving of being the
Speaker 1: official state show of North Carolina. Also, why is this
Speaker 1: a priority? But it's I guess it's not really because
Speaker 1: we just hit the bill filing so we can see
Speaker 1: everything that's there. But yeah, and so he comes back
Speaker 1: with a spinoff from the show. Not gonna work, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So going back to this whole quest to
Speaker 1: be Europe right where they romanticize Europe. It tends to
Speaker 1: be liberal politicians, people upset about electoral college stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is that. Don't get me wrong again.
Speaker 1: I like to travel. I've had a lot of fun
Speaker 1: traveling in Europe, a lot of fun. Sadly, there's some
Speaker 1: places I don't know if I'll ever make it back.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever go back to Ireland
Speaker 1: the direction it's headed right now, which is a shame. Man.
Speaker 1: Thought I was of the opinion everyone you go see
Speaker 1: Ireland once, it's it's just it's beautiful. It's fun, but
Speaker 1: it's not overwhelming. You get to lay in some creepy
Speaker 1: dude's lap on top of a castle while you kiss
Speaker 1: a rock that's actually under like an eve and you
Speaker 1: just laying in some old man's lap, and there's people
Speaker 1: lined up all day to lay in that old dude's lap.
Speaker 5: He does have like a little pad, but still.
Speaker 1: And you go do that and like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll ever get back there. It's
Speaker 1: just a bit of a shame. So with that in mind,
Speaker 1: when you start romanticizing things over in Europe, especially things
Speaker 1: like but San San Francisco is doing, you gotta see
Speaker 1: if it comports with who we are, because if not,
Speaker 1: it erodes the identity of the country. And one of
Speaker 1: the things that this country is supposed to be a hallmark.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean it's always achieved, but it should always be
Speaker 1: strived for. Is equity under the law. I should say
Speaker 1: equality under the law, but specifically the idea that and
Speaker 1: again there's a thousand examples where it doesn't necessarily hold up.
Speaker 1: But why would we actively work in the opposite direction?
Speaker 1: But San Francisco going to San Francisco, listen to this.
Speaker 7: San Francisco is launching a new speed safety pilot program
Speaker 7: backed by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, where how much
Speaker 7: you pay for a speaking ticket depends on who you are,
Speaker 7: and it's all in the name of equity. On its website,
Speaker 7: the City Transportation Authority goes out of its way to
Speaker 7: it explain that speed safety cameras will be dispersed across
Speaker 7: San Francisco in a quote equitable fashion.
Speaker 1: All right, let me let me point this out. So Rosslys,
Speaker 1: if you were trying to figure out where you had,
Speaker 1: you had you're the mayor, Okay, somebody's God help us.
Speaker 1: You got you're the mayor. You're in charge now, and
Speaker 1: and you got like fifty speed cameras and you want
Speaker 1: to put them around town? What what do you what
Speaker 1: do you think you would probably look to as to
Speaker 1: where to place the speed cameras if you had to,
Speaker 1: you had to pick a spot or spots, what would
Speaker 1: what would be the criteria where people are known to speed.
Speaker 1: It's a good point. That's not what San Francisco is
Speaker 1: talking about. They're like, they're gonna go, well, this is
Speaker 1: a white neighborhood where we put two, So let's put
Speaker 1: one over in this Hispanic neighborhood and one and that's
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. So right off the jump, you've
Speaker 1: already you've already played yourself. Instead of ignoring, you've chosen
Speaker 1: now ignore the very base that Ross just pointed out
Speaker 1: that normal people think of let's put it where the
Speaker 1: problem is. But you remember how many of these stories
Speaker 1: we do where they're like, why is there so much
Speaker 1: policing in North Charlotte or along what's the road with
Speaker 1: all the problems there? Well whatever, and they'll be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you go to the white neighborhoods, all these things
Speaker 1: are going on, and I'm like, some of them are,
Speaker 1: but not. It's like, the crime isn't necessarily exist in
Speaker 1: these high crime areas regardless of the demographic makeup. It
Speaker 1: just is, and you can't, you know, especially when it
Speaker 1: comes to like murders and stuff, because I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know this, Even in white neighborhoods, they investigate murders.
Speaker 1: They tend to tend to look at those Did you
Speaker 1: see the inside of that house that insane white woman
Speaker 1: was keeping her kid prisoner in who was like what
Speaker 1: seventy pounds and he's in his thirties. That looks like
Speaker 1: a super quote unquote rich white neighborhood. I don't know
Speaker 1: the demographic break down, but like they investigate that stuff.
Speaker 1: So right off the bat, you guys are already playing games.
Speaker 7: But it gets worse, but not everyone will have to
Speaker 7: pay the same if they get a ticket, get this.
Speaker 7: Low income offenders qualify for steep fine discounts guys up
Speaker 7: to half off and if you're homeless but speeding in
Speaker 7: your vehicle, you can get up to eighty percent discount.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, is that a problem in San Francisco? Do
Speaker 1: you have a lot of homeless zipping around in their
Speaker 1: supercars like cause of problems? Did I miss some San
Speaker 1: Francisco program where you gave all the hoboes Bugattis or something?
Speaker 1: And why would I think that? Because do you remember Ross?
Speaker 1: Do you remember the tents they bought for them?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm kind of surprised at your ignorance here. That's
Speaker 5: they did do that program where they gave them Bugattis
Speaker 5: and the tents were so expensive because you could drive
Speaker 5: your Bugatti into it.
Speaker 1: Oh, they had lifts like old and then like a
Speaker 1: bunch of so that you go in there's just a
Speaker 1: bunch of supercars on truckle.
Speaker 5: Charges you absolute fool.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why the tents were five or eight thousand
Speaker 1: or whatever they were tents. They got a six car garage.
Speaker 1: Is it ann like an underground driving like you see
Speaker 1: some of those La mansions. That's amazing. And look, man,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be out hoboing, and and you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want to poop on the same street corner
Speaker 1: every day. And if you don't have a car, I
Speaker 1: mean there's very few you know, if you gotta go,
Speaker 1: there's only so many street corners you can make it
Speaker 1: to before the dam burst. So now you hop in
Speaker 1: the Lambeau or whatever, and you're off to the special place.
Speaker 1: And remember the hobo pool party thing up in Seattle,
Speaker 1: right where they had like an ewok village cave tree system,
Speaker 1: and then they had they had gotten a pool and
Speaker 1: a couch and all that. You don't want to show
Speaker 1: when you're showing up. And all those hot mesed out
Speaker 1: little skinny chicks are in the pool, right, they want
Speaker 1: to roll over on foot? You want to you want
Speaker 1: to pull up in your whip man?
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: The girls are like ah shaking, but they're like, oh
Speaker 1: look at that. Oh who's that?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 1: A movie star?
Speaker 4: What is that?
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, that's face eater Billy. How face
Speaker 1: eater Billy? Get a Bugatti? Oh? Man? Right, you want
Speaker 1: the what's the kids turt? What's the term the kids use?
Speaker 1: You want to show up with the drip man. You
Speaker 1: do it eight. So if you're a hobo you can
Speaker 1: speed in I guess whatever, and you get an eighty
Speaker 1: percent reduction. Ah, this is the stuff they do over
Speaker 1: in like Norway and Finland. And then they write stories.
Speaker 1: They had some dude who got a speeding ticket that
Speaker 1: was over one hundred thousand dollars a few years ago,
Speaker 1: and I remember all the coverage whereas just because he
Speaker 1: was a super rich guy. But this is not equality
Speaker 1: under the law. This is not what we do in
Speaker 1: the US, not at all.
Speaker 7: Jerry, Here's just one of the many problems I have
Speaker 7: with this. The reason for this program for the speed
Speaker 7: cameras was reportedly because of high injury areas, meaning where
Speaker 7: pedestrians have been hit and killed. So, since all lives
Speaker 7: are equal, why are we getting discounts on speeding tickets
Speaker 7: when everyone should understand how serious it is to drive
Speaker 7: safely where people have died.
Speaker 8: I couldn't believe this when I read this, I was like,
Speaker 8: is this really true? We are all equal in the
Speaker 8: eyes of the law.
Speaker 2: Oh, nope, we're not.
Speaker 8: We're not all equal in the eyes of the law. Okay,
Speaker 8: so might this get extended eventually. So maybe if I
Speaker 8: commit a burglary and I don't have a lot of money,
Speaker 8: maybe that's okay, or maybe I get a reduced sentence,
Speaker 8: or I just don't understand the logic operating here. I
Speaker 8: think we should all be equal in the eyes of
Speaker 8: the law, and everybody should pay the same fine sentence. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I get some bad news for you, though, man, that
Speaker 1: already happens. That already happens. Have you not seen the
Speaker 1: bail restructuring that they've done in a lot of these places.
Speaker 1: Why do you think California? Was you ever the dude
Speaker 1: who was involved in not one, but two police chases
Speaker 1: and one day and then he got arrested, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't a chase in three and you know what in
Speaker 1: a day's time, because they kept going, well, you're poor,
Speaker 1: and so we're just gonna we're just gonna turn you
Speaker 1: back loose. And the guy's like, great, I want to
Speaker 1: finish my police chase, so hey, let's do that again.
Speaker 5: I agree with the one thing she said, because listen,
Speaker 5: you have jerk speeders and white neighborhoods, and you have
Speaker 5: jerk speeders and black neighborhoods. But if you lessen the penalty,
Speaker 5: you're gonna have more speeders in that neighborhood. So now
Speaker 5: people are just gonna be speeding through the hood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a story up in New York right now.
Speaker 1: I don't have it in the stack, but it reminded
Speaker 1: me of this this. They think it's funny because her
Speaker 1: job is wig maker, which is it's kind of an
Speaker 1: unusual job. But like, but she ended she was speeding
Speaker 1: on this road and they were saying that it's like this,
Speaker 1: all that people do is speed on this road. It's
Speaker 1: super dangerous and she I think she killed two kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'd be a good place. Maybe do your speed crackdowns. Right.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the neighborhood. The homes look
Speaker 1: very middle of the road. I don't know who lives there.
Speaker 1: But if you have a speeding problem and kids are
Speaker 1: getting killed, address that in San Francisco clearly is going
Speaker 1: to have place. San Francisco is a weird city to
Speaker 1: drive around. I've driven around it, and it's because it
Speaker 1: is everything that you see in the movies from a
Speaker 1: topography standpoint, right, you're always going up or down a hill,
Speaker 1: and not just a little hill. Basically, there's a reason
Speaker 1: every great seventies movie, like the Dirty Harry series and
Speaker 1: all that, where they're doing, like they love, doing chases
Speaker 1: through San Francisco. Inevitably, what happens at some point there's
Speaker 1: the scene of one of those you know, those old
Speaker 1: cast iron seventy style cars, you know, popping down a
Speaker 1: hill and then you hit where the street flattens down,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you're flying through the air.
Speaker 1: Probably there was a whole there were a whole stunt
Speaker 1: men group. There was at a stuntman company in San
Speaker 1: Francisco that literally that was their jam, just doing car
Speaker 1: chases in San Francisco and other stuff man and so
Speaker 1: speeding in those situations you can damage your vehicle pretty bad,
Speaker 1: and you can cause a wreck, and you can hit
Speaker 1: people like these are all concerns that are legitimate concerns,
Speaker 1: and of course you're gonna you're gonna screw this whole
Speaker 1: thing up so you can feel your being more equitable,
Speaker 1: more equitable, which, by the way, that's not equity, right,
Speaker 1: What is equity versus equality? Why do we gripe about
Speaker 1: it on the show every time? Because equality is opportunity, right,
Speaker 1: Equality is opportunity. You guys are gonna have equal opportunity
Speaker 1: and it will be up to you so that you succeed.
Speaker 1: Equity is equal outcome, so you can't call it an
Speaker 1: equity speeding ticket. If there's different outcomes, that's what's so.
Speaker 1: That's that's the the icing on the cake of this lunacy,
Speaker 1: the cherry on top. It means the exact opposite of
Speaker 1: what you named it, which is exactly what I would
Speaker 1: expect from the government there in San Francisco. Good job, everybody,
Speaker 1: six forty seven hang on. Unfortunately, not a canceling, just
Speaker 1: a recognition that he's no longer with us. One of
Speaker 1: the dudes from this clip right here, you know, is
Speaker 1: the Omo Roddy volleyball team we call it here on
Speaker 1: the show. From a top gun has passed away. That
Speaker 1: is right, the iceman. Is it just iceman or iceman
Speaker 1: or the iceman? I suppose just iceman would be the
Speaker 1: appropriate way. Val Kilmur has succumbed. He died of pneumonia,
Speaker 1: but obviously you throat cancer. He had some other health
Speaker 1: issues throughout the latter part of his life as well,
Speaker 1: but they're reporting it was pneumoia. Guys, cowboys, because love
Speaker 1: me some valcilm you're everyone's problem.
Speaker 3: That's because every time you go up in the air,
Speaker 3: you're unsafe.
Speaker 9: I don't like you because you're dangerous, right, nice man,
Speaker 9: I'm a Hukomberra.
Speaker 4: What Johnny Ringo?
Speaker 1: You looked like somebody had just walked over your grave.
Speaker 5: You see, I'm both persuading and Batman.
Speaker 1: Not because I have to bend now, because.
Speaker 5: I choose to be.
Speaker 1: All right, favorite Val Kilmer movie. Those are three obviously
Speaker 1: pretty big ones there. You have Tombstone and Batman Returns, right, uh,
Speaker 1: and of course top gun e. I'm gonna go Tombstone.
Speaker 1: And I know some of you guys are gonna disagree
Speaker 1: with me on that. If I had to pick between
Speaker 1: those three, Ross, what's your favorite Val Kilmer?
Speaker 5: Well, I put that clip together so it would be
Speaker 5: those three movies.
Speaker 1: Well, I know that's three, but if you not have
Speaker 1: to pick one, yeah, right, Tombstone Tombstone. Yeah, I really
Speaker 1: I dig that movie. That's why Tombstone an unforgiven. Unforgiven.
Speaker 1: It's a better movie than Tombstone in my opinion, but
Speaker 1: they're both real top tier. If that thing's on, I'll
Speaker 1: watch it.
Speaker 5: It's ridiculous. He didn't win like an Academy Award for
Speaker 5: that role.
Speaker 1: Oh it's great, absolutely man doc college. Oh are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Fantastic? I guess him and uh I read
Speaker 1: somewhere that him and Kurt Russell would were during the
Speaker 1: filming of the movie. We kept giving each other really
Speaker 1: morbid gifts, trying to one up and creep out the other.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to find that story. I remember hearing
Speaker 1: that years ago. You know, Val Kilmer did a Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did, you know, I like kind of like horror movies.
Speaker 1: He did a horror movie and I don't remember the
Speaker 1: name of it. I'll have to look it up. It
Speaker 1: could it really didn't get a lot of pub and
Speaker 1: yet Yeah, So the premise of the movie is he's
Speaker 1: a stranger in the small town. Somehow he gets arrested.
Speaker 1: He's in this holding cell, it's very small holding cell,
Speaker 1: and psychologically he just starts taking apart everyone, all the police.
Speaker 1: They bring a doctor in at one point. All of this,
Speaker 1: and let's just say, it turns out he's not who
Speaker 1: he says he is, and that you get into a
Speaker 1: horror element of like a religious horror element. And I
Speaker 1: thought was pretty good. But what it required. It required
Speaker 1: Kilmer basically to act the whole movie. He had to
Speaker 1: almost every scene is exclusively him talking a lot more
Speaker 1: because the people are He's creeping out all these people.
Speaker 1: And it was very good. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: he gets necessarily the credit just to kind of go
Speaker 1: off what you were saying there. The dude was a
Speaker 1: pretty good actor, even if he was known for a
Speaker 1: lot of kind of popcorny movies.
Speaker 5: No, he was a super good, humble guy too, and
Speaker 5: like he was a method actor, but not in the
Speaker 5: sense where he was a jerk, because some of these
Speaker 5: guys who read stories and you're like, you know, they
Speaker 5: were super difficult to work with. From everything I've read,
Speaker 5: he was a super nice guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also like that Saint movie. That was pretty good.
Speaker 5: Oh I saw the saying that theater like two times,
Speaker 5: did you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that whole storyline with the I mean that was
Speaker 1: just classic story and then you know it was just
Speaker 1: the evil Russian oligarchs. Like he had all the elements
Speaker 1: of that era of movies. Ah, good stuff. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it was he's sixty five.
Speaker 5: The last ten years for him, man, the health wise
Speaker 5: is absolutely brutal. Yeah, he wouldn't have nothing.
Speaker 1: To do with the top Gun follow up like Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise had too. And he didn't want to. And I
Speaker 1: understand why for the same reason that you saw Bruce
Speaker 1: Willis stuck away. Right, you deal with health issues and
Speaker 1: you don't want to be not you on screen. I
Speaker 1: will say, oh that he did post his final his
Speaker 1: final Instagram video. There's another actor there with him, Kevin
Speaker 1: Cho I think, is with him at his house. I
Speaker 1: stopping by, and Kilmer realizes like, this is probably it.
Speaker 1: So the last post he ever did, he donned the
Speaker 1: Batman mask, put that bad boy on and let's just
Speaker 1: say the paint on that thing not holding up. So
Speaker 1: it's kind of like almost white now.
Speaker 6: But yeah, okay, see I just scorn say California really
Speaker 6: means to stop with this white lives don't matter systemic racism.
Speaker 1: Monstense Well Ross made a good point. Actually, what these
Speaker 1: knuckleheads don't realize is they probably just protected white people more.
Speaker 6: If you think in spite of themselves, hopefully.
Speaker 4: That's what happened.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just like, how about you just if you
Speaker 1: have a speeding problem, you go protect where people are
Speaker 1: getting hit by speeders. But I just could never make
Speaker 1: it in government. Thanks for the call their Janet to
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah, So if if you're going to
Speaker 1: police quote unquote white neighborhoods more and you know, so
Speaker 1: equity and you're going to find people who might who
Speaker 1: are probably if it's you know, socioeconomically less challenging neighborhood
Speaker 1: means people are gonna ge find more which should act
Speaker 1: as a deturrent to speed less. And then you're going
Speaker 1: to go into a high crime neighborhood or a minority neighborhood,
Speaker 1: depending on whatever your equity parameters are. And you basically tell,
Speaker 1: you know, some hobo that it's twenty bucks to speed, Well,
Speaker 1: that's not a deterrent, so inevitably people don't speed less.
Speaker 5: Right, you're making the quote dangerous neighborhoods more dangerous because
Speaker 5: it's going to be more speeding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good job.
Speaker 5: I was thinking about the val Kilmer things more. I'm
Speaker 5: really tired of my childhood heroes. Are these people I
Speaker 5: loved as like passing away like I would? I would
Speaker 5: appreciate it if they could stop that.
Speaker 1: Well, you just want young actors to know.
Speaker 5: But it's really, man, it's hitting me harder and harder
Speaker 5: the older I'm getting, because obviously these celebrities would passing.
Speaker 5: But now it's yeah, exactly, but oh it's super weird.
Speaker 5: Like Gene Hackman and now Val Kilmer heard that this morning,
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, this sucks, man, I'll just stop it.
Speaker 5: I would appreciate it if they would stop it.
Speaker 1: What was that John Cusack Gene Hackman run Away? That
Speaker 1: was pretty good. That's thinking about that one the other day.
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's let's get some Val Kilmer movies
Speaker 1: with some callers here, Yes, Bobby, what's up?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Hey man?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 1: I was just uh telling Roth.
Speaker 10: I wondered if you guys had seen a movie.
Speaker 4: Called Fellon, like a convicted Fellon. It has Val Kilmer.
Speaker 4: It's a it's a role at the end. When I
Speaker 4: saw the credits, I was like, what that was Val Kilmer.
Speaker 4: So if you haven't checked it out, you probably should.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's really cool.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking it up here felling Okay, I see
Speaker 1: someone was Stephen Dorf here is right? Yeah he is, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there he is. I don't know if I've seen this movie.
Speaker 1: It's a prison drama of some sort locked up for
Speaker 1: killing an intruder and self defense. A family man must
Speaker 1: cope with life in the penal system. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: know that I've seen it, but uh, it doesn't say
Speaker 1: where it's streaming. Oh yeah, it's got a pretty solid
Speaker 1: IMDb score too, So all right, well I'll check it out.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the recommendation, Bobby, appreciate it. Don't don't forget
Speaker 1: about what's that? Don't forget about heat? Oh yeah, no, no, no, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that was kind of a that was kind of a bait,
Speaker 1: not included to bait callers.
Speaker 5: Well you got me.
Speaker 1: That's a great movie. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what was really depressing is I was going through
Speaker 1: just for the show. I wanted to refamiliarize myself with
Speaker 1: some of Al Kilmer's roles. And so I'm on IMDb
Speaker 1: right then scroll through that which, by the way, we
Speaker 1: got to talk about something they're doing, and and then
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all these movies from you know, that
Speaker 1: era that you were just reminiscing about, like we're all
Speaker 1: the all the the most popular actors from are just
Speaker 1: the generation. And it I happened on this IMDb page
Speaker 1: and they have the top ten movies by year just
Speaker 1: like going back to the nineteen fifties and I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there and like in the eighties and nineties, every year
Speaker 1: there's solid five six movies I would that I had
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 5: Right, just solid awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, solid, just.
Speaker 5: Chuck full of these absolute legends that we were that
Speaker 5: are passing away now and it's just sad. And there's
Speaker 5: a lot of these movies. I was thinking about this yesterday.
Speaker 5: They still hold up because we were watching The Goonies
Speaker 5: and the Goonies still holds up, and I'm like, you know,
Speaker 5: if they were to I'm trying to figure out why
Speaker 5: it still holds up. Like some of these movies are
Speaker 5: still like super good. And I was thinking, you know,
Speaker 5: if you were to remake a movie like The Goonies today,
Speaker 5: they would throw a lot of political stuff, or there
Speaker 5: would be political jabs, or there would be a joke
Speaker 5: about Trump or something woke about it, and it would
Speaker 5: just especially organ yeah, especially exactly start in Portland.
Speaker 1: They'd be all woke. Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: And the thing is with these older movies, if you
Speaker 5: were just to show them to somebody today, like a
Speaker 5: younger kid or even an older person who had never
Speaker 5: seen it before, right, but specifically young kids. So you
Speaker 5: show to a younger kid that have never they never
Speaker 5: saw the Goonies, and then afterwards you ask them, tell
Speaker 5: me what the political climate of the of the country
Speaker 5: was during this time in history. They would not be
Speaker 5: able to tell you because nothing was in there like that.
Speaker 5: There was nothing.
Speaker 1: It was just the movie, you know, where politics was
Speaker 1: involved too, right, going back to a global thermal nuclear
Speaker 1: war and Whopper and all that.
Speaker 5: I mean, you can look at them like you can
Speaker 5: look at it and be like, oh, it's a movie
Speaker 5: about you know, the bankers who are trying to take
Speaker 5: the house in capitalism. But there's no like Jabs. It's
Speaker 5: not like it would be made today. And that's the
Speaker 5: big difference.
Speaker 1: I think they some of the movies they put. And again,
Speaker 1: when's the last year. Let me ask you guys this,
Speaker 1: when's the last year that there were a half dozen
Speaker 1: movies that were must sees, like you were willing to
Speaker 1: go to a theater to do it right, pay those prices,
Speaker 1: drag the kids, or or you know, fight somebody at
Speaker 1: a blockbuster for the you know the on that Tuesday
Speaker 1: when it drops you're sitting there waiting outside, remember Tuesday
Speaker 1: lines and Blockbuster for big movies or now not necessarily
Speaker 1: Blockbuster or Hollywood or.
Speaker 5: Any Yeah, and it would suck if you go there
Speaker 5: to be like, oh, there's my movie and they just
Speaker 5: wouldn't have it. They would It would be like the
Speaker 5: case without the VHS tape in the back the worn
Speaker 5: But streaming and COVID is they've killed the movies. I
Speaker 5: think it's streaming and COVID. Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if the decline clearly as I was looking
Speaker 1: over this list and getting nengratinated, it clearly started earlier
Speaker 1: than that, and like you know, pre COVID, but you
Speaker 1: could see it getting woker and woker and then you
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm not using the oscars. This is
Speaker 1: based on revenue. Like a lot of movies nowadays are
Speaker 1: such a mental slog I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 1: Not because it's complex stuff, because they want to emotionally
Speaker 1: manipulate you the whole time, and most of the time
Speaker 1: it's for some sort of messaging purpose, and I refuse
Speaker 1: to participate.
Speaker 5: You're paying all this money and then they're lecturing you
Speaker 5: on top of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who wants that? I don't want that. I want
Speaker 1: fun stuff. As a I was just looking at Ross
Speaker 1: andized Brice so I was born in eighty Ross was
Speaker 1: born in seventy nine. All right, nineteen eighty Ready the
Speaker 1: Shining Raging Bull, Star Wars Empire strikes back, the Blues
Speaker 1: Brothers Airplane. Do I need to go on seventy nine
Speaker 1: with Ross? Apocalypse? Now Alien Life of Brian. Let's see here,
Speaker 1: Kramer v Kramer. If you're into that, that did really well,
Speaker 1: but like, we're never going to see this again? Are we?
Speaker 1: We're never going to see this again? I think the
Speaker 1: closest we might have gotten to it is when they
Speaker 1: were churning a couple Marvel movies a year, and then
Speaker 1: a couple other decent movies emerged. But we're in a
Speaker 1: very different place now. So not only has that era
Speaker 1: of movie making died or movie production died, but to
Speaker 1: Ross's point, all the people we used to love to
Speaker 1: watch are now passing along too. I know every generation
Speaker 1: goes through it, but it doesn't make it better. We
Speaker 1: need to protect Tom Cruise at all costs. He'll ever die.
Speaker 1: I think he got it to enough levels of whatever
Speaker 1: with the uh the scientology is probably immortal. He's got it.
Speaker 1: He's gotta keep you's gotta pay more money, man.
Speaker 5: He opened the level five hundred briefcase and learned the secrets.
Speaker 1: Okay, see that's that's that's what you do. Dude doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to age, keeps doing his stunts. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, oh let's grab this. Yes, Marty, what's up? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Uh calling about Bell Kilmer one of his biggest roles
Speaker 10: that everybody fails to mention.
Speaker 1: Miller.
Speaker 7: That was one of his best leading roles in the film.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what was that late eighties right there? I
Speaker 1: think check the film.
Speaker 5: That that man forever.
Speaker 1: I remember going the Doors. Yeah, forget about the doors either, right,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the doors. And he's saying that movie too,
Speaker 1: that was him singing, right yeah, so yeah, absolutely absolutely
Speaker 1: well now I'm just even more depressed just thinking about that.
Speaker 10: So right, that's that's like a childhood film, you.
Speaker 1: Know, absolutely all right, appreciate the call, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Oh geez, yeah, I'd forgot about the willow thing.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 1: That's been a while, and I was thinking about what
Speaker 1: Ross was saying too on like wait, how they would
Speaker 1: have to do the goonies now? And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: one sloth would have to be cgi'd, right, you'd have
Speaker 1: to see gi sloth now, and then you would have
Speaker 1: to hyper focus on how a woman has risen through
Speaker 1: the criminal ranks to run her own gang, and that
Speaker 1: would end up being most of it. And then you
Speaker 1: can't have her lose because now this woman who broke
Speaker 1: the glass ceiling on running weird family gangs in uh
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northwest, you can't take that away from her.
Speaker 1: And then the sloth CGI would have to happen because
Speaker 1: some actor with a facial deformity would be mad that
Speaker 1: all the actors with facial deformities only get cast for
Speaker 1: roles with facial deformities, and they'd ruin it for everybody,
Speaker 1: just like we saw with snow White here about five
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Uh, jeez man, that's depressing. All right, hold on,
Speaker 1: all right, let me grave this. Yeah, I know my
Speaker 1: call screeners acted all weird there. All right, here we go,
Speaker 1: Joe Anne, what's up?
Speaker 10: I was just gonna say, Willow too, except if it
Speaker 10: was filmed today, they'd be easing CGI and would probably
Speaker 10: miss that miss out on the best part in that
Speaker 10: whole movie. Who was the guy who played the little
Speaker 10: person that Val Kimler was helping to protect.
Speaker 4: To save the baby.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he was amazing that. That was my first
Speaker 10: role that I really loved with vou Kimer.
Speaker 4: He was he was awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it probably not well. They tried to do Willow.
Speaker 1: They just tried to do a show and it did
Speaker 1: not go well to the point I think they removed it.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the caller, Joanne. Didn't Ross didn't they remove
Speaker 1: that Willow show? Literally from streaming? You watched it?
Speaker 5: I forgot all about it.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, it was last year or something. They tried
Speaker 1: to do it and it bombed. And I don't even
Speaker 1: know why it bombed. I wish I just didn't care
Speaker 1: enough to even look into it. But anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: seven nineteen. We get some more calls obviously on this.
Speaker 1: We do have a few other things to get to,
Speaker 1: like this this this father who needed to go to
Speaker 1: a job interview. This is down in Georgia and is
Speaker 1: now facing charges for something something that he did so
Speaker 1: that he could facilitate going to the job interview. And
Speaker 1: we'll debate it coming up next. Hang on CaCO Day
Speaker 1: Radio program. I get this email my now sixteen year
Speaker 1: old daughter about two years ago, said I wish I
Speaker 1: was born in the eighties. You all had the great movies,
Speaker 1: great music, had no COVID, yeah, I mean we did
Speaker 1: have our own things, clearly, but it was stuff like jarts,
Speaker 1: so it's relatively open.
Speaker 5: Mean, we didn't have COVID, but they did scare the
Speaker 5: crap out of us about aids, yeah.
Speaker 1: And everywhere and drugs with with the frying pan mare. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So like we you know, we had all our own stuff.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: The other the other hallmark of movies in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties is what I call the boobs for no reason.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's always reason for boobs though, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I agree, I mean just mean from a storyline perspective.
Speaker 1: And there's like there's a bunch of eighties movies that
Speaker 1: are rated PG that have like full frontal nudity in them.
Speaker 1: Beast Master remember the movie Ross Haden doesn't remember this.
Speaker 1: I remember because my mom thought, oh, it's rated PG,
Speaker 1: and she put us down in front of it, and
Speaker 1: she walked in when the two chicks are bathing in
Speaker 1: the pond and he's like off to the side with
Speaker 1: his animals watching them, and they're just there. You go,
Speaker 1: there's everything and she freaked out, and you see then
Speaker 1: I had to watch Beasts Master. I must finish this movie, which.
Speaker 5: Right right right in the But did you see this
Speaker 5: from gen Z now when they're polled about movies and
Speaker 5: they're like, there's no reason for any sex at all,
Speaker 5: or any nudity at all, or any boobs at all,
Speaker 5: and just take it all out of movies. What happened
Speaker 5: to these kids?
Speaker 1: Man? This is what we talked about yesterday. How are
Speaker 1: you gen X's kids? I think you have you have
Speaker 1: no idea what your parents were up to. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna got this call real quick, Logan, I
Speaker 1: got about a minute, go right ahead.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'll just say you're two great Valkimber comedies
Speaker 4: that don't see you know what people talking about. Real
Speaker 4: Genius and Top Secret were both really funny to me
Speaker 4: at least.
Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, yeah, quick call here on the
Speaker 1: Val Kilmer because there's some other stories I got to
Speaker 1: get to before we chat with the congressman this morning, Larry,
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging on. What's up, hey, guys.
Speaker 4: There was a great role that Val Kilmer had in
Speaker 4: a movie called True Romance, where he was.
Speaker 10: Uh, he played.
Speaker 4: Brief role as Elvis, and that was a movie with
Speaker 4: Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette when she was young.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and then I saw then we mentioned this,
Speaker 1: but I saw it on that's written on the callscreader.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought he did a good job playing Jim Morrison
Speaker 1: for sure too.
Speaker 4: That was very absolutely he was fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I'm just getting thanks for the call there, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be distracted. I'm just
Speaker 1: looking at a you know, it was another good Val
Speaker 1: Kilber movie. Is Mind Hunters? Have you ever seen that?
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good movie. Yeah, there we go, all right,
Speaker 1: scrolling too much on that. Let me get over to this.
Speaker 1: So by now, because I saw this absolutely everywhere, by
Speaker 1: now you've probably seen at least a semblance of this story.
Speaker 1: So you have this man. He is down in Georgia
Speaker 1: Atlanta area. No, it might be Athens. Actually it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter that in Georgia, and so he needs to go
Speaker 1: to a job interview. And I hope that this is
Speaker 1: a one true story. I'm just because I don't know
Speaker 1: that I've seen that confirmed. But I don't see any
Speaker 1: pushback either. So the story goes like this. His name
Speaker 1: is Chris Lewis. He's twenty four. He has a ten
Speaker 1: year old, a six year old, and a one year old.
Speaker 1: And he's twenty four. Yes, he had one when he
Speaker 1: was one of these kids when he was fourteen or actually,
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't. Are they his biological kids,
Speaker 1: I don't even know, but it doesn't matter. There are
Speaker 1: his kids, Him and his you know, him and the
Speaker 1: kid's mom share custody.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, he doesn't have a car.
Speaker 1: So according to the report, he and his three children
Speaker 1: left there. It was augusta, A, right, so it's Augusta.
Speaker 1: He and his three kids walked from his house, which
Speaker 1: isn't very far too like the shopping area where they
Speaker 1: have a McDonald's, And it isn't McDonald's. It has one
Speaker 1: of the play places still in it, and he reportedly
Speaker 1: had a job interview. I guess it was across the
Speaker 1: street and kind of like one over is how I
Speaker 1: heard it described, which I guess might provide you line
Speaker 1: of sight back to the McDonald's. I don't know. So
Speaker 1: he walks the three kids into McDonald's. I'm sure he
Speaker 1: gets some little something and then proceeds to tell the
Speaker 1: ten year old, Hey, you guys play in the play place.
Speaker 1: Daddy'll be back in twenty minutes or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: however long it takes to the job interview. And so
Speaker 1: the kids are just doing kids stuff, right, They're in
Speaker 1: the play place having a time. I don't know fully
Speaker 1: what a one year old does except sitting the ball
Speaker 1: pit and slabber all over the balls, but hey, that's
Speaker 1: their jam, Let him do it. And a customer noticed
Speaker 1: these kids and was like, where are the parents? And
Speaker 1: then conversation started. What they did? You call the police?
Speaker 1: And yeah, and so police, the mother came to pick
Speaker 1: up the kids and dad got arrested. And I hate this.
Speaker 1: I hate I hate that. If you know, if everything
Speaker 1: is true here, it looks like dudes just trying to
Speaker 1: do the right thing, right. You got three kids. You
Speaker 1: got to have a job, man, I get some money flowing,
Speaker 1: and you got to feed those kids. You know, kids,
Speaker 1: kids ain't cheap. And so if he's out there and
Speaker 1: he's trying to get himself a job and he was
Speaker 1: unable to, I don't know if he didn't tell the
Speaker 1: mom or like she was unable until it became an emergency.
Speaker 1: There's some missing parts there, but you know the lens
Speaker 1: through which people are seeing this is in the eighties.
Speaker 1: No one would have called the police, right, you were
Speaker 1: just having this nostalgic discussion.
Speaker 5: You'd have to round up half the parents from the
Speaker 5: eighties and throw them in prison. What a fun prison
Speaker 5: that would be because lat kids were a thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, my parents were divorced, so I spent I
Speaker 1: was eleven when they divorced, just going on twelve, and
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, it was a big adjustment
Speaker 1: and I ended up having to I mean, I having
Speaker 1: to watch my siblings and and my little brother would
Speaker 1: have been three or four. So, uh, why do you so,
Speaker 1: why do you think people? Is it just generational or
Speaker 1: is it because the one kid's won?
Speaker 5: I was thinking if you take the one year old out,
Speaker 5: it might be different.
Speaker 1: Even in this day and age. And I think the McDonald's.
Speaker 5: Matters to You have the management at McDonald's or where
Speaker 5: he's working there looking at the situation, and they probably
Speaker 5: saw the one year old and maybe that's when they're
Speaker 5: you know, they called the cops or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sound think it was some customer was in
Speaker 1: there and she's of course. Yeah. Well, but also look,
Speaker 1: I almost don't even blame the customer for going why
Speaker 1: why is there a one year old with no parents
Speaker 1: in here? But once it was then, you know, once
Speaker 1: that they've come, she came to understand that there's a
Speaker 1: ten year old. And I don't know the maturity level
Speaker 1: of the ten year old either. Some ten year olds
Speaker 1: absolutely can watch kids for a few minutes.
Speaker 5: I mean, the dude had a kid when he was fourteen.
Speaker 5: I'm not knocking him. If anything, this is a positive
Speaker 5: thing because it's ten years later and he's still in
Speaker 5: the kids' life. Yeah, and he's trying to provide for him.
Speaker 5: So I don't that's what I get.
Speaker 1: I have now.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: This caught the attention of a few celebrity folks. I
Speaker 1: think Antonio Brown was the one I saw go viral.
Speaker 1: So they're putting together some help for this guy, which
Speaker 1: which is great, but also it's like, is this really
Speaker 1: the crime of the century? Man? My mom's dead now,
Speaker 1: so and I don't know the status of the clerk.
Speaker 1: So my mom smoked for a while, and I remember
Speaker 1: we were in town. We were at my cousin's house
Speaker 1: and my mom is sitting there and it's it's snowing,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I think I'm like eleven or twelve,
Speaker 1: and my mom like, I need more cigarettes. And so
Speaker 1: there's a gas station about three blocks down the way.
Speaker 1: Go down there and then and here's the money. Give
Speaker 1: the money to the woman and she'll give you a
Speaker 1: brown bag and bring it back here. My mom sent
Speaker 1: me to buy digarettes when I was twelve, and the
Speaker 1: clerk went along with it. That everybody knew each other.
Speaker 5: It's funny now because that's like super old back then, twelve, Like,
Speaker 5: I was thinking about it, and I'm trying to compare
Speaker 5: myself and it's super hard for me to compare myself
Speaker 5: to my son Lincoln, because he's you know, special needs
Speaker 5: and autistic and more on the severe side. But I
Speaker 5: was saying, he's gonna be thirteen. But when I was
Speaker 5: even ten fifth grade, I was constantly walking by myself
Speaker 5: with my friends, going to my friend's house, being alone
Speaker 5: in his house, you know, playing around video games for hours,
Speaker 5: or playing in the woods in the back, or going
Speaker 5: down and playing basketball at the street corner for hours
Speaker 5: until the street lights went dim. And now if you're
Speaker 5: driving by, I've seen this bunch of times he'll be
Speaker 5: driving and you'll see like a younger group of kids,
Speaker 5: maybe eight or nine or ten walking down the street.
Speaker 5: And the immediate reaction I've seen from people this pointing goes.
Speaker 5: Somebody called the cops, what are those kids doing? And
Speaker 5: it is It's just different now, it is.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 1: It is one hundred percent different, man. And it's like,
Speaker 1: and I saw people reacting and they're like, well with
Speaker 1: the oh, well you also have the you know, the
Speaker 1: all the all the child trafficking. Okay, well, look, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that child sex trafficking is not a thing,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that there are not hotspots, but
Speaker 1: most of it doesn't look like what you think it is.
Speaker 6: Uh, And.
Speaker 1: They're not just randomly dragging kids off the street. It's
Speaker 1: still true that the majority of people or kids who
Speaker 1: are abducted are abducted by somebody they know, right, not
Speaker 1: random strange because it's just too happenstance. You don't walk
Speaker 1: into them. You're not gonna go to McDonald's for lunch
Speaker 1: today and be like, I wonder if there's any kids
Speaker 1: here that nobody's claimed I can take, right, because it's
Speaker 1: you wouldn't do that. You might do that at a
Speaker 1: mall or another place like that, but not really. So
Speaker 1: I think we also scared ourselves into assuming the child
Speaker 1: predators are all around the corner. But to your point, Ross,
Speaker 1: and it didn't matter whether it was where I lived,
Speaker 1: or if we go visit cousins in California. We'ven't been
Speaker 1: visited my cousins who lived in Ojai, California, and we would.
Speaker 1: We just get on bikes and we go everywhere in
Speaker 1: southern California. We go everywhere. And the only deal was
Speaker 1: when it gets dark, your butt's better be home because
Speaker 1: they we're gonna come find you and it's not going.
Speaker 5: To go well for you. And think about it. Back then,
Speaker 5: no phones, no internet. If something did go wrong.
Speaker 1: You might go to another parent's house and call to
Speaker 1: say you got there, but that's it.
Speaker 5: And I was thinking like that actually happened when I
Speaker 5: was younger. There was something that happened and I had
Speaker 5: to call my parents. And I just knocked on a
Speaker 5: stranger store and I said, hey, I need to use
Speaker 5: your phone and call my mom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, come on in here. Eat this stuff
Speaker 1: I just made real quick without you being able to
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, Oh it was fine. It was fine. Man,
Speaker 1: I didn't get abd rossd you get abducted and trafficked.
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Oh oh you might have repressed it. I didn't that
Speaker 1: I believe. So they were Look, if you're there to
Speaker 1: snatch kids, Wyoming's not your spot to go. There's just
Speaker 1: nobody who lives there. Right, you're not gonna put up
Speaker 1: real numbers steal at kids in Wyoming. Now you got
Speaker 1: to go to a populated area, all right, raised agic's
Speaker 1: here to talk about the same. Oh well no, this
Speaker 1: is the story life. You're neckwoods man. Yeah, this daddy
Speaker 1: went to McDonald's, went to a job interview, and now
Speaker 1: he's public enemy number one. I feel bad for the guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we never got McDonald's when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: You make the cheese sandwiches, dude, McDonald's and cheese.
Speaker 5: McDonald's was a special thing. It was if Dad pulled
Speaker 5: into McDonald's, it was like, oh, this is the best
Speaker 5: thing ever.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't even Dad, it was my grandfather and
Speaker 2: he would say, we'll go to McDonald's today, and it
Speaker 2: was like, you know, it was like, oh, it was
Speaker 2: a rare event.
Speaker 1: It really was but we didn't have McDonald's in the
Speaker 1: town I grew up until I was in high school,
Speaker 1: and so we had to It was so rare that
Speaker 1: we got to eat fast food and we didn't have
Speaker 1: a Hearty's. But to eat McDonald's, it was only if
Speaker 1: we were on our best behavior, and only if we
Speaker 1: were on a shopping trip to like Sheridan, which is
Speaker 1: like forty mins.
Speaker 2: Well, to eat out in general, I mean now it's
Speaker 2: about three four nights. It's ridiculous. Yeah, but anyway, did
Speaker 2: the same I mean bicycles and if you weren't home,
Speaker 2: you gotta help you. Yeah, let's just say that.
Speaker 1: Dude, if your parents found you and they were driving
Speaker 1: five miles an hour down the road and you saw
Speaker 1: your family car coming, you knew that the next few
Speaker 1: days were going to suck for you.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh yeah, And well, we weren't really allowed out
Speaker 2: of the neighborhood on our bikes, but so was either
Speaker 2: neighborhood or right down the street we should call it,
Speaker 2: or in the woods behind my cousin's house where we
Speaker 2: go back there and just make trails, and you knew.
Speaker 1: When it was time to be home.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, question, yes, exactly. Lighting fires and kind of
Speaker 2: almost burned the woods down once. But luckily the log
Speaker 2: we started on fire was in the middle of a swamp,
Speaker 2: so that kind of saved us.
Speaker 1: Good good. Oh, every I think every young man has
Speaker 1: that story. Me and my shooting fire works at the lake.
Speaker 1: The wind blew it backwards, and the dam the other
Speaker 1: side of the damn caught on fire to the point
Speaker 1: where I'm like, we're all going to be in jail.
Speaker 1: And then and you can call it God's intervention or
Speaker 1: whatever you want, it's starting to rain. Yeah, and we
Speaker 1: didn't even yeah, And by the time the one of
Speaker 1: the fire guys got out there, it was basically out
Speaker 1: and he he like, he berated this so much more
Speaker 1: than even my mom did. And nowadays my mom, you know,
Speaker 1: a parent would probably sue a guy like that, and
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm glad you read you did. You should
Speaker 1: have put a foot in your butt. Is I believe
Speaker 1: what ye said?
Speaker 2: Coming from a long like, we were all volunteer firefighters
Speaker 2: in my family and we were lighting fireworks in the log.
Speaker 2: It came back the next day the log was like
Speaker 2: burning embers. Whoa good thing, it's here in the middle
Speaker 2: of the swamp. And then the fire, for I can't
Speaker 2: do that either. You know, the heat's going to be coming,
Speaker 2: and today, probably between today and tomorrow the two worst days.
Speaker 2: Today a lot of clouds, maybe a sprinkle of rain,
Speaker 2: upper sixties to seventy, and then some drizzle and light
Speaker 2: rain tomorrow in the morning and then sunshine in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: Somehow is not bad with the southwest breeze, warmer load
Speaker 2: the eighties. Then close to record territory for Friday and Saturday,
Speaker 2: mid uper eighties, maybe ninety. I think the records and
Speaker 2: Raleigh are around ninety degrees. To try it a little
Speaker 2: bit lower, So as we get closer to those days,
Speaker 2: we'll talk more about the records and Sundays still warmf
Speaker 2: we get changes next week. Next week will be a
Speaker 2: much cooler week. Maybe some showers on Monday, but high's
Speaker 2: only in the sixties. Advertise this time of year, are
Speaker 2: in the upper sixties.
Speaker 1: Oh real quick. Since everyone else had to answer favorite
Speaker 1: Val Kilmer movie.
Speaker 2: It's got to be Top Gun because I don't know
Speaker 2: too many other ones besides Batman.
Speaker 1: So have you heard of Tombstone? Are you familiar with
Speaker 1: I have? Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, you remind me tombs I did like Tombstone, but
Speaker 2: his character i'd like better in Top Gun.
Speaker 1: How about Heat? Heats good?
Speaker 2: I saw Heat, but I don't really non memorable.
Speaker 1: Kilmer's doc Holiday. You think Iceman was better?
Speaker 2: Well, just because it's what I probably saw top Gun more.
Speaker 2: I probably only watched Tombstone once or twice.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, you are Huckleberry. Okay,
Speaker 1: Barrett to there. What do you think Jeff's answer is
Speaker 1: going to be? We can think about that for an
Speaker 1: hour now, all right, Well, we'll find out and we'll
Speaker 1: chat with the congressman coming up at eight oh five.
Speaker 1: Brad Not will join us. A couple other quick stories
Speaker 1: to hit you with in this segment. So hang on,
Speaker 1: pearl clutching over this, losing their minds how horrible it is.
Speaker 1: In fact, let me read, because I did repost a
Speaker 1: tweet yesterday, and I think the one that I commented
Speaker 1: on sums it up rather nicely. Uh did? All right?
Speaker 1: So you have you have the CDC, the NIH and
Speaker 1: a few other a few other departments up there, the
Speaker 1: federal government that got their turn in the barrel yesterday.
Speaker 1: As here we go, it's from doctor Andrea Love, who
Speaker 1: is oh she's head of an NGO, of course she is,
Speaker 1: or some sort of yeah, no, they're taking research money.
Speaker 1: So yes, Immuno Logic and the American LME Disease Foundation
Speaker 1: and a science communicator. Okay, all right, so she tweets
Speaker 1: yesterday the CDC has literally been gutted today, there's no
Speaker 1: need for April fools when reality is a nightmare for
Speaker 1: every human on this planet. Thousands fired, entire departments are raised,
Speaker 1: and then there's a whole thread here, and she arrives
Speaker 1: at the point is cruelty? She says, cruelty is the point.
Speaker 1: This is not making anyone healthier. You know what's really
Speaker 1: cruel right, if we're talking about cruelty, if I could
Speaker 1: thring this up, setting back kids learning patterns for in
Speaker 1: some cases up to two years, right, decimating test scores,
Speaker 1: threatening to jail people if they disagree with you, fundamentally
Speaker 1: being wrong on and almost either entirely or at least
Speaker 1: portions of what were really really big impactful issues that
Speaker 1: did things like decimate businesses, you know, people's livelihoods, wanting
Speaker 1: people who push back when they would pull people within
Speaker 1: the federal apparatus, federal health thing. They were the ones
Speaker 1: advocating in some instances for people to be literally jailed
Speaker 1: or have their kids taken away, or just to be
Speaker 1: canceled because it's there. It's dangerous what they're doing. So yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna basically get all that wrong and not
Speaker 1: care about it and then blame and then call them
Speaker 1: people reacting to it going well, why am I paying
Speaker 1: for this thing that doesn't work? Cruelty when you're the
Speaker 1: ones being cruel I don't have sympathy for you. And
Speaker 1: I happen to believe that the CDC, if done the
Speaker 1: way that we were convinced that it's supposed to happen,
Speaker 1: that is probably a I have no problem with that
Speaker 1: being part of the federal government. I know somebody would disagree,
Speaker 1: but I think it speaks to federal protections. Right, we
Speaker 1: got some really warm weather coming. We got some nice
Speaker 1: weather coming too, So we'll chat with Ray Stagic a
Speaker 1: little later on get that set up for you as
Speaker 1: you look ahead to your weekend. But now we're gonna
Speaker 1: stare northward to the insane asylum that is Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: And to help us do it, it's Congressman brad Not.
Speaker 1: How you doing this morning, sir, it was my thing
Speaker 1: working here.
Speaker 4: He can you hear me?
Speaker 1: Oh, I can hear you now? All right? Wonderful, wonderful.
Speaker 1: What you doing this morning?
Speaker 4: I'm doing great.
Speaker 1: I hope you are well. I'm not in the in
Speaker 1: whatever weird multiverse thing is going up in DC where
Speaker 1: Cory Booker is doing a non that's not a filibuster, right,
Speaker 1: because a filibuster is it's a particular bill. So what
Speaker 1: was that before we get to some other stuff, what
Speaker 1: was that hoping to accomplish? And what has been It
Speaker 1: does have some impact on the sentence of ability to
Speaker 1: conduct business this week? Right, that's right.
Speaker 4: The easiest ways to explain it case he is. It
Speaker 4: was a It was a theatrical act. There was nothing
Speaker 4: specific that he was protesting other than sort of everything
Speaker 4: that the Republicans are doing, are hoping to do, et cetera. Again,
Speaker 4: very very small in the specifics. But he got up
Speaker 4: and he had the floor. And the rule is, as
Speaker 4: long as a member of the Senate is speaking, they
Speaker 4: can maintain the floor for as long as they want to.
Speaker 4: And you were correct, he was not filibustering any particular
Speaker 4: piece of legislation. He just kept the floor and he was.
Speaker 4: It was largely an attention grabber. He was seeking to
Speaker 4: get noticed, and he did. He spoke for I think
Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty five hours, and he of course
Speaker 4: feels as though he's accomplished something in a mighty way,
Speaker 4: which is not the case. But yeah, he was an
Speaker 4: act and he got the attention that he wanted. And
Speaker 4: now he's he's he's seated the floor and hopefully the
Speaker 4: Senate can get on with car business.
Speaker 1: But it's my understanding, he correct me if I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: because this is this is what happened with Luna and
Speaker 1: Crew yesterday is going to impact your guys' ability, like
Speaker 1: now that will yeah yeah, yeah. So so let's kind
Speaker 1: of transition over there as well, because it's not just
Speaker 1: the thing happening. I don't care about the thing happening.
Speaker 1: He's known for this, remember his I Am Spartacus moment.
Speaker 1: The guy's just weird when he thinks he's winning. With
Speaker 1: Corey Buecher on the house side, though, it's a little different.
Speaker 1: So what was what Luna and Crewe? Anna Paulina Luna
Speaker 1: is a congresswoman from Florida for the listeners, and she
Speaker 1: was she's a Republican, but she was astride with Democrats.
Speaker 1: Is they wanted a discharge position a petition. Explain why
Speaker 1: that's different and why House leadership maybe doesn't like it.
Speaker 4: Well, you're getting very technical case, but the easiest way
Speaker 4: to explain this is essentially Representative Luna paired with Representative
Speaker 4: Britney Peterson, who is a Democrat, and a discharge petition
Speaker 4: is essentially a procedural tool, a mechanism that is used
Speaker 4: within the House, typically by the minority party, and in
Speaker 4: this instance, it would have allowed a majority to basically
Speaker 4: implement a procedural rule or an amendment to how the
Speaker 4: House does its business. And the issue that they were
Speaker 4: looking to achieve is putting the petition in place that
Speaker 4: would allow new mothers and new fathers I believe, maybe
Speaker 4: just mothers, but new parents. Let's just say that, yeah,
Speaker 4: to vote via proxy. And what leadership did is number one.
Speaker 4: I believe they're correct here. It's not a matter of preference.
Speaker 4: There is there is language in the Constitution that, in
Speaker 4: my opinion, requires us to show up to work and
Speaker 4: to vote in person.
Speaker 1: There is value to that.
Speaker 4: But leadership, rather than have this debate, they want to
Speaker 4: keep moving with the president's agenda. They want to keep
Speaker 4: moving with the will of the people, things like the
Speaker 4: Save Act, which would have precluded foreign nationals from voting
Speaker 4: in the US elections. That was on the federal side.
Speaker 4: And so they buried a rule to essentially table the
Speaker 4: discharge petition that Representative Luna was pushing. And unfortunately that
Speaker 4: rule did not pass. And so when when that when
Speaker 4: that instance occurs, that enables Luna to bring the discharge
Speaker 4: petition up and have a basically up or down vote
Speaker 4: within two days. And so rather than up in the
Speaker 4: court to the up in the House, probably send this
Speaker 4: in the court, they called off the votes. They will
Speaker 4: be trying to attach the discharge petition to something next
Speaker 4: week to bring it back up to hopefully vote it
Speaker 4: down and then get on with our business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm a little torn on this thing. And
Speaker 1: here's why. Here's why. One, uh, some of you, well
Speaker 1: you weren't there yet, but your colleagues were abusing like
Speaker 1: that dude who was voting on the boat out on
Speaker 1: the yacht right during COVID. I can't remember which member
Speaker 1: that was. I mean that that's the insanity people see.
Speaker 1: And also I'm going to assume and you can correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Maybe you guys just sit around
Speaker 1: twiddling your thumbs all day, But I don't believe that.
Speaker 1: It's if you have a new baby and you're still
Speaker 1: going to be having to review and understand and read
Speaker 1: these things and deal with your staff, that you're probably
Speaker 1: gonna have to get childcare. Right, that's the only way
Speaker 1: you can be able to do that. So, like I like,
Speaker 1: I understand why why the pushback is there. So it's
Speaker 1: your position that if you want to vote, then you
Speaker 1: need to show up, which, by the way, is a
Speaker 1: tool that legislative bodies use to push things through sometimes.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the North Carolina lottery, right, they waited
Speaker 1: for a couple of people not to be there, So
Speaker 1: is that more the thing? And and I want to
Speaker 1: transition to some of the illegal immigrants stuff. But so
Speaker 1: that's that's your understanding of why the objection from House
Speaker 1: leadership is there? Correct?
Speaker 4: Well, I think I think it could potentially be partially
Speaker 4: that's part of it, Casey. But another thing is if
Speaker 4: you if you allow members to upend two hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty years of precedent where there is language that that
Speaker 4: is widely accepted to to support the motion that the
Speaker 4: House needs to show up in the chamber and make
Speaker 4: their votes in person. Once you allow that to be
Speaker 4: picked away at regardless of the reason, and you can
Speaker 4: make a lot of good reasons. The Pandora's box is
Speaker 4: therefore opened. And you know, for two hundred and fifty years,
Speaker 4: the House has showed up, we have heard the debate,
Speaker 4: we have field of the amendments, and we have voted.
Speaker 4: And you know, again, even though it seems legitimate, it
Speaker 4: seems like it could be worthy of consideration. Once that
Speaker 4: box is opened, it's opened, and.
Speaker 1: There is value being in per things like that. That's
Speaker 1: for my concern is because let's face it, the Republicans
Speaker 1: had a congresswoman in an Alzheimer's treatment facility. Well, and
Speaker 1: Joe bisright, Like I just have to say, Joe Bright too, right,
Speaker 1: So you know, if it if it delves into that,
Speaker 1: it's you know how easy it is to get a
Speaker 1: doctor to uh, you know, to doctors shop and get somebody.
Speaker 1: Oh no, they can't come in, they can't, they can't
Speaker 1: make it.
Speaker 4: Yes, all right, so and I will pay this just
Speaker 4: just for consideration. There have been dozens and dozens and
Speaker 4: dozens of women who have showed up to work, who
Speaker 4: have had families had obligations served violently on both sides
Speaker 4: of the aisle. This is just a Again, if I'm
Speaker 4: being perfectly honest, I think it's a mechanism in some
Speaker 4: ways for members to get some FaceTime with the media
Speaker 4: and to get some some publicity, et cetera. And it's
Speaker 4: disrupting and my finny, the more serious things and be considering, and.
Speaker 1: Then you can bring your baby in and disrupt the
Speaker 1: entire proceedings like that one chick did.
Speaker 4: So the kind of delpaphy of the argument.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not that long ago, all right, So now
Speaker 1: it hampers you guys getting down the business. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to be honest, what I hear from my listeners
Speaker 1: is they wish you guys were doing more business. Obviously, Trump,
Speaker 1: there are one thousand miles an hour, so maybe just comparably,
Speaker 1: it looks like you aren't getting anything done. You had
Speaker 1: a crazy idea that maybe we should charge illegal immigrants
Speaker 1: who do illegal things with crimes. Why did nobody think
Speaker 1: of that before? So talk about what you're working on
Speaker 1: and how what's going on in the house right now
Speaker 1: maybe impacts your ability to do that, that's.
Speaker 4: A great question. As a prosecutor, he worked all over
Speaker 4: the country. One of my greatest frustrations, My greatest frustrations
Speaker 4: was that there was no separate category for repeat illegal
Speaker 4: immigrant criminals. Right, so people who come back into the
Speaker 4: country after having them deported, and the current law casey
Speaker 4: basically caps terms of imprisonment at twenty four months for
Speaker 4: re entry, and for me personally, that's a very gross
Speaker 4: under service for the American people. If someone has committed
Speaker 4: a crime, they've been convicted of a crime while being
Speaker 4: here illegally, and they're deported once they come back here
Speaker 4: a second time illegally, there should be an expedited process
Speaker 4: to charge them with illegal re entry after having already
Speaker 4: been convicted, and a more serious disincentive for them returning
Speaker 4: to the country. I had people that I prosecuted that
Speaker 4: had been deported up to ten times, sometimes more than that,
Speaker 4: and again the whole net of incentives were in the
Speaker 4: illegal immigrants favor. So what I'm working on is to
Speaker 4: just to break down that incentive and incentive people to
Speaker 4: want who want to come to the United States, incentivize
Speaker 4: people to come to the United States legally, and there's
Speaker 4: basically two components here. One, if you're here illegally, you
Speaker 4: know it, you know you came outside the law, and
Speaker 4: if you commit any felony state or federal, you should
Speaker 4: be punished severely. And what my proposal is going to
Speaker 4: put forward is somewhere along the lines of five years minimum.
Speaker 1: Up to life.
Speaker 4: So if you get convicted of a DUI and it
Speaker 4: rises to a felony, if you steal ten thousand dollars
Speaker 4: with the stuff, if you sell drugs, whatever it may be,
Speaker 4: that predicate offense will qualify you to five years to life. Secondly,
Speaker 4: if you commit a felony, you get convicted of a
Speaker 4: felony and you're deported, you cannot come back, right, you
Speaker 4: cannot come back illegally, and if you do that automatically
Speaker 4: will qualify you to a ten year minimum in federal jail.
Speaker 4: And it sounds harsh, but again I will say there
Speaker 4: has to be a disincentive for people who are attempted
Speaker 4: to come back to this country. We have a one
Speaker 4: hundred thousand people that are being killed every year from
Speaker 4: overdose deaths. We have billions of dollars that are being
Speaker 4: levied on hospitals, on schools on transportation networks because of
Speaker 4: the illegal immigrants. We have criminal gangs in the United
Speaker 4: States who are being just incredibly strengthened because of what's
Speaker 4: crossing the border.
Speaker 1: Whether it be.
Speaker 4: Manpower, whether it be firearms, whether it be controlled substances,
Speaker 4: whether it be cash, whatever it is, criminals here are
Speaker 4: being strengthened by illegal immigrants coming into the United States.
Speaker 4: And frankly, our tolerance is over. We have we have
Speaker 4: run the course here. We have wasted hundreds of billions
Speaker 4: of dollars on illegal immigrants. Our local law enforcement is strained,
Speaker 4: and we have to change the law to basically send
Speaker 4: the message if you come here illegally and you roll
Speaker 4: the dice, you're going to pay a heavy, heavy price.
Speaker 4: And so we're working on the on the language. We're
Speaker 4: getting everything drafted tight to basically have a stair step
Speaker 4: and to be as efficient and as appellate proof as
Speaker 4: we can make it. And you know, the law, like
Speaker 4: I said, as it currently stands, I would I would
Speaker 4: be looking at someone from an investigative standpoint who had
Speaker 4: been deported five times. I knew that they were here
Speaker 4: to sell nothing better mean heroin, fentanel, whatever they were doing.
Speaker 4: But because the law only allowed me to sentence them
Speaker 4: to two years at the most, there was no disincentive.
Speaker 4: I couldn't I couldn't arrest them. That was not a
Speaker 4: deterrent to anybody. And so because of that, we had
Speaker 4: to deploy millions of dollars to investigate, to gather residents,
Speaker 4: et cetera, flesh them out as though they were an
Speaker 4: American citizen. And that that's something that just you know,
Speaker 4: we need, we need to rectify that and do it quickly.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, this is great. You just reminded
Speaker 1: me of something, and you are the perfect person to
Speaker 1: answer this, because, like everything else, there is misrepresentation on
Speaker 1: what the other side's working on. Right. It's just it's
Speaker 1: a whole mark of politics. Like I've heard it represented
Speaker 1: that you want those penalties for just people who just
Speaker 1: entered and didn't commit a crime. So I'm glad that
Speaker 1: you pointed out that we're talking about we're talking about
Speaker 1: like three things you have to do to get here,
Speaker 1: three conscious decisions. The second one is this idea that
Speaker 1: the entire way in which somebody has identified as a
Speaker 1: gang member is by looking at one tattoo is absurd.
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm sorry, right, So explain if you or
Speaker 1: your office back in the day, we're trying to determine
Speaker 1: if somebody was a member of gangs, which we do
Speaker 1: this with criminals when we put them in jails. Well,
Speaker 1: the first things that jail intake officers do. They're not
Speaker 1: just looking at tattoos. What's the process if you're prosecuting
Speaker 1: a guy and you want to be sure they're an
Speaker 1: MS thirteen member, how do you go about that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a very wide variety of ways to validate somebody,
Speaker 4: ranging from the primitive to the sophisticated. And if there
Speaker 4: is a Western hemisphere our country, in the Western hemisphere,
Speaker 4: and some even in Eastern Europe and the Asian theater
Speaker 4: as well, there actually is information sharing. There's database sharing
Speaker 4: their governments like in South America, for instance, ICE, the
Speaker 4: federal government, whatever law enforcement agency we were using DEA
Speaker 4: at f FBI, they had very established inroads where they
Speaker 4: could actually say, you know, this is here in the
Speaker 4: United States, you all have a criminal record on this
Speaker 4: person back home, and very often the gang activity, the affiliations,
Speaker 4: et cetera would flow in from foreign databases. Secondly, when
Speaker 4: you investigate these groups, there's a myriad of ways to
Speaker 4: validate them. Yes, body markings can be one factor, but
Speaker 4: also evidence gathered. Right, So you do a big takedown
Speaker 4: of twenty five people and you get two cooperators out
Speaker 4: of that group. There are databases that record and keep
Speaker 4: the statements provided by individuals who they name that are
Speaker 4: in the gang. And of course that's validated again with
Speaker 4: criminal activity, with social media posts, interactions with local law enforcement,
Speaker 4: things that are usually kept in the law enforcement vault,
Speaker 4: so to speak. So there's a myriad of ways through
Speaker 4: information sharing, whether it's state to state, country to country,
Speaker 4: agency to department. That is, it's a layered approach to
Speaker 4: validate and or to verify validation in gangs. And here's
Speaker 4: the thing, Casey, when we would validate someone, the only
Speaker 4: time that they would say I'm not in that gang
Speaker 4: is that sentence thing, right that they would never they
Speaker 4: would never refute it. They would never refute it because
Speaker 4: it was so air tight. They would only get before
Speaker 4: a judge and then they would say, well, actually, I'm
Speaker 4: not in the gang. They would never do it on
Speaker 4: the front end. It was always once you got on
Speaker 4: before court to sentence them, and but I never had
Speaker 4: an issue where there was someone who was miss validated,
Speaker 4: who was mislabeled as in a gang that they when
Speaker 4: they really were not.
Speaker 1: They're making it sound like they're they're shipping people who
Speaker 1: have one of the claimed it was a tattoo from
Speaker 1: a soccer team. And I'm like, here's the deal. If
Speaker 1: you if you're in a gang area and you're wearing
Speaker 1: a mark of the gang and you're not in the gang,
Speaker 1: that's going to go poorly for you. That's going to
Speaker 1: go poorly. Unfortunately, Congress, when I'm out of time here,
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about the lifting thing,
Speaker 1: but it looks like they're gonna the Bondi's taking care
Speaker 1: of that this week, so we'll see. But yeah, all right, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Yeah, absolutely, and we're gonna be
Speaker 1: chatting every couple of weeks, just letting the audience know,
Speaker 1: so keep us up to speak. Okay, all right, thank you,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you. All right, there you go, Congressman
Speaker 1: Brad not joining us here on the CaCO Day radio program.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. We got some news
Speaker 1: for you and a few more stories hang on. A
Speaker 1: new study says that confirms that women have better hearing
Speaker 1: than men. Actually it's not, and it's by two decibels
Speaker 1: on average, which is not insignificant. Do you believe that?
Speaker 1: I think every guy who's ever dated a woman or
Speaker 1: been married believes it.
Speaker 5: I completely believe it.
Speaker 1: Mark.
Speaker 5: He's like, are you listening like I thought I was?
Speaker 1: Did she shame you for it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: I mean it gets frustrated. I'm sure, yeah I thought it,
Speaker 5: but I know. But first off, we're different anyway because
Speaker 5: we've worn headphones most of our adult life. Right at
Speaker 5: every radio guy. Yeah, so yeah, it's it's already sort
Speaker 5: of shot anyway.
Speaker 1: M hm. So yeah, I don't think that's what she means.
Speaker 1: When are you listening? I don't think it's a decibel question.
Speaker 1: I think it's the part where she asked you to
Speaker 1: take the trash out twice, or that's what women will
Speaker 1: tell you. I don't know. Plus how many how many
Speaker 1: guys you ever been somewhere you talking to one of
Speaker 1: your bros. And you get real quiet, and somehow she
Speaker 1: still hears it because she's spine.
Speaker 5: Probably I can tell you who has really good hearing. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that would be my kid. Oh yeah, yeah, you with
Speaker 5: Lincoln with his autism, and it's one of those things.
Speaker 5: The new thing is we'll be sitting on the couch
Speaker 5: and he'll just go, fire truck. I go, what fire truck,
Speaker 5: fire truck, fire truck, or like we do a fire truck,
Speaker 5: and he'll put his hands over his ears. Fire truck,
Speaker 5: fire truck. There's no fire truck. Five minutes later, five
Speaker 5: not one, not thirty seconds, five minutes later, the fire
Speaker 5: truck will hear it. And people are like, how come
Speaker 5: you know he freaks out if someone knocks in the door,
Speaker 5: if the microwave goes off, or if the dryer. I
Speaker 5: don't know, because maybe to him it sounds like an airhorn. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's pretty loud.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 1: Look, we already know that kids, just kids in general, right,
Speaker 1: not even getting into the reaction that your son has
Speaker 1: have a very different hearing range, which is you like
Speaker 1: you ever see those those subsonic noise makers they put
Speaker 1: out front of covenience stores where they don't want teenagers gathering.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because only they can hear that specifically.
Speaker 1: They can hear that range. Yeah, and so they'll, uh,
Speaker 1: they'll hit them with that, so they get annoyed. But
Speaker 1: if you can defeat it with earbuds. I don't know
Speaker 1: that they care, but yeah, I totally believe that. And
Speaker 1: I just dawned upon me. Do you realize how many
Speaker 1: mass shootings your son's probably been a part of. Under
Speaker 1: the new standards, you probably probably hears them all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there is an in do I guta. We got to
Speaker 1: get into this real quick. This is from CBS, who
Speaker 1: the headline is the way twitch he wrote it. CBS
Speaker 1: blows last shred of credibility. All right, So look, whenever
Speaker 1: we talk about mass shootings, Uh, it's it's one of
Speaker 1: those It's one of those statistics that get manipulated by
Speaker 1: the media a lot. There's not really there is kind
Speaker 1: of a standardized thing where I think, for the purpose
Speaker 1: of the federal government, it has to involve the death
Speaker 1: or injury of at least four people as a result
Speaker 1: of it. I've seen somewhere it's two, But four is
Speaker 1: the number I most hear off I hear most often.
Speaker 1: But CBS has so tweaked the metrics so that they
Speaker 1: could write this headline. This is CBS's headline. One out
Speaker 1: of every fifteen American adults have been at a mass shooting,
Speaker 1: according to a new study by the University of Colorado.
Speaker 1: Does that pass before I explain their methodology? Does that
Speaker 1: pass the smell test?
Speaker 4: To you?
Speaker 1: Ross, we got more than fifteen people that work for
Speaker 1: iHeart in Raleigh, and I don't have any of Have
Speaker 1: any of them been in a mass shooting?
Speaker 5: Now the way that I imagine are defining amass shooting?
Speaker 5: I would say no, like I would say I've never
Speaker 5: been a part of one.
Speaker 1: You've never been a part of one. So how how
Speaker 1: did they arrive at that number? Is the question? One?
Speaker 1: In fifteen? Well, this is why I tell you you
Speaker 1: got to get down with the methodology on these things.
Speaker 1: So all right, So, how in the world could they
Speaker 1: throw this thing out there? Because it's a very very
Speaker 1: broad definition. This is propaganda one oh one here, and
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised it emerge out of Boulder, which I
Speaker 1: is just lunatic central over there. All right, So they've
Speaker 1: expanded the scopes of what qualifies. So under the criteria,
Speaker 1: if you even if you did not hear it, but
Speaker 1: we're in a pre defined range of that you could
Speaker 1: possibly hear it happening. It could And by the way,
Speaker 1: for anyone who shot guns, depending on where you are,
Speaker 1: like if when I go elk hunting, and if it
Speaker 1: was like the first day of rifle season for elk hunting,
Speaker 1: You're sitting there in the mountains. You'll never see another person,
Speaker 1: but you'll hear gunshots, and you don't realize those gun
Speaker 1: shots could be fifteen miles away, twenty miles away, just
Speaker 1: because of the echo you get in a mountain right there. Arguably,
Speaker 1: if it was quiet enough from the Raleigh studios, if
Speaker 1: we were like on the roof or whatever the building,
Speaker 1: and what happened in Headingham happened feasibly, you should be
Speaker 1: able to hear it if it's quiet, if you know
Speaker 1: it depends on the time of the day. Does that
Speaker 1: mean you were at a mass shooting? Of course it doesn't.
Speaker 1: If you hear gun shots, you're And I want you
Speaker 1: to remember what is what are the majority of mass
Speaker 1: shootings under that qualification, probably range, but the number of
Speaker 1: people injured where are what is mostly the story in
Speaker 1: a mass shooting? That's part of that.
Speaker 5: Probably gaging stuff like a drive by.
Speaker 1: Absolutely doesn't have to be a dry by, but just
Speaker 1: something that happen where Do those things happen predominantly in
Speaker 1: very populated areas right south Chicago. You know, they're good
Speaker 1: gazillion people. There's what eight million that live in what
Speaker 1: they call Chicago Land there, So you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: much higher propensity that if you have a shooting where
Speaker 1: you know, some guy goes by and he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: those are those guys from the other dang, and then
Speaker 1: fire part popping shots kills one injures three. Now that's
Speaker 1: a mass shooting. How many potentially hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: people are going to fit into this weird dynamic that
Speaker 1: University of Colorado's created, not just people who heard it,
Speaker 1: like a block away going is that gunshots? What's going
Speaker 1: on there? The hell's going on? I'll tell you man.
Speaker 1: I was sitting I stayed at the hotel that I
Speaker 1: stayed at those two nights in magazine before I went
Speaker 1: up to the Volcano stuff that I did. I was up.
Speaker 1: It's the highest hotel. It's it's called the Las Antenta,
Speaker 1: which just means the seventy h and you know Lorelis,
Speaker 1: which is what I guess. It's a pretty safe area
Speaker 1: in Metagine, right. I thought of tourists, you know, American hotels,
Speaker 1: nice stuff. And I was sitting there on my balcony
Speaker 1: with you know, had a couple buddies on this. We're
Speaker 1: just sitting there drinking beer because I got the bigger balcony.
Speaker 1: I got upgraded, thank you Marriott. And I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: and if like across the city and Metazine has like
Speaker 1: three million people in it, and every night over in
Speaker 1: what you would consider the barrios that are literally called
Speaker 1: they are literally named after Pablo Escobar. Gunshots. Man just
Speaker 1: gunshot at palooza And I'm I'm fifteen miles and Metagine
Speaker 1: is a huge city. It's not quiet, and yet you
Speaker 1: could hear these gunshots. I was not part of whatever
Speaker 1: shooting incident happened over there, and apparently you were, though, right,
Speaker 1: I guess I am. I don't even know what happened,
Speaker 1: how many people got hit, But.
Speaker 5: By those standards, yeah, I mean, because we've had gunshots
Speaker 5: before in wake Forest, where we've been like what was that.
Speaker 5: Our neighbor has been like a her gunshots. That's definitely
Speaker 5: happened where the place were involved, like a block away.
Speaker 5: But no, I wouldn't say it was in a mass shooting.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: When you think of a mass shooting, you think of
Speaker 5: somebody using a gun to murder multiple people.
Speaker 1: Well, and again that part of it they do. They
Speaker 1: do go with the four or injured or murdered. But
Speaker 1: the absurdity that if you and you don't even again,
Speaker 1: you don't even have to hear it. They then would define,
Speaker 1: all right, this person shot a forty five right, this
Speaker 1: type of gun. And so what they did is they
Speaker 1: built parameters on how far that sound should travel, attempting
Speaker 1: to mitigate nothing. Right, So if I want to did
Speaker 1: a mass shooting next to a jet engine, people on
Speaker 1: the plane may not hear it. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying? That's absurd. If I do it in that
Speaker 1: mountain elk hunting setting that I was just talking about,
Speaker 1: dudes in dudes in another county could hear it, just
Speaker 1: because the echoing you get when you fire a high
Speaker 1: powered rifle in a mountain situation where it's so quiet
Speaker 1: and echoing. So it was CBS is running with this
Speaker 1: story today. I just wanted to be abundantly clear. But
Speaker 1: now one in fifteen people can get into Harvard, So
Speaker 1: there's that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're just cherry picking to push an agenda.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, one hundred percent, So pay no mind to this.
Speaker 1: It's absurd. Unless you honestly believe one in fifteen people
Speaker 1: have been part of a mass shooting. That's just not
Speaker 1: the case. Okay, all right, well you decide based on
Speaker 1: those parameters, and you can read the article. We'll tweet
Speaker 1: it out, all right. Eight forty four race staging from
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel. Alrighty, so you gonna flirt with nineties?
Speaker 1: Is this really gonna happen? Yeah? I think so. Why
Speaker 1: Ross is going to the mountains, He's making the right decision,
Speaker 1: smart guy.
Speaker 5: Right, They'll be warm there, but.
Speaker 2: Not as warm still, maybe eighty five ish until well
Speaker 2: it's not quite humid yet, so you bright it away
Speaker 2: with it. But yeah, but you know, it's really a
Speaker 2: pattern that looks more like summertime. Got a big burver,
Speaker 2: get a high off east coast, and that's actually gonna
Speaker 2: keep all the rain and the bad storms away from us.
Speaker 2: There's going to be a flood risk and a high
Speaker 2: flood risk out across parts of the Sunner Ohio Valley,
Speaker 2: Tennessee Valley, and a severe weather risk today actually a
Speaker 2: high risk before long track strong tornadoes too. So that's
Speaker 2: all going to stay away from us the next several days.
Speaker 2: A lot of overcasts today upper sixties, maybe seventy in spots,
Speaker 2: passing light rain shower.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: Really not worried about rain today or tonight. Maybe a
Speaker 2: little drizzle or light rain around through Tomorrow morning and
Speaker 2: then sunshine pretty good looking Thursday afternoon, load to mid
Speaker 2: eighties and a southwest breeze and mild even at night
Speaker 2: as we come to the mid upper sixties by Friday morning.
Speaker 2: That's the average highs for this time of year, and
Speaker 2: then that's going to push us close to ninety by
Speaker 2: Friday afternoon. So we're probably eighty five to ninety from
Speaker 2: Triad and through the Triangle for Friday, Saturday, and maybe
Speaker 2: even Sunday, depending on what time the showers get here.
Speaker 2: So Marshall, sunshines, I won't be mostly sunny, so that
Speaker 2: sun's not beating down on you. But you know that
Speaker 2: March sun angles start to feel pretty strong out there too,
Speaker 2: So if you are going to be outdoors and get
Speaker 2: burn easily, yeah, may want to already start thinking about sunscreen.
Speaker 1: Picking on me. Yeah, Well, you know, Irish, is that
Speaker 1: what's going could be?
Speaker 2: It could be yeah, and then next week some cooler weather,
Speaker 2: maybe below normal temperatures starting about Tuesday, and would be
Speaker 2: surprised if you're previously mentioned mountains. Next week toward midweek
Speaker 2: actually see some colder air, and depending on the timing
Speaker 2: of that cold air, maybe some snowflakes. So yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a chance. If I'm calling it today, there's a chance
Speaker 2: higher elevations to the west and especially north.
Speaker 1: You guys gonna get persons signed? Or is that just
Speaker 1: falling down? Yeah, that's done. I mean the rest of
Speaker 1: the teams.
Speaker 2: So I have like one or two superstars and the
Speaker 2: rest of the team's mediocre. I say trade them all,
Speaker 2: start over.
Speaker 1: Oh I'll burn it down.
Speaker 2: All right, That's where I'm at.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, thank you appreciate it, and we'll come
Speaker 1: back next with Jeff Boneser.
Speaker 9: Hang on, Well, good morning, casey. Investors, economists, and the
Speaker 9: American people. Get the word on new tariffs President Trump
Speaker 9: later today. The President refers to the levies as reciprocal tariffs.
Speaker 9: Its hope he'll explain just what that means. Its reported
Speaker 9: details of the tariff plan had not been finalized. As
Speaker 9: of late yesterday. Stock Market Future suggests investors are still
Speaker 9: nervous about tariffs. The Dow futures are down three hundred
Speaker 9: eighteen points.
Speaker 1: At the moment, concerns.
Speaker 9: About tariffs did build a fire under a lot of
Speaker 9: car shoppers. The automakers reported stronger first quarter sales as
Speaker 9: customers moved to complete deals ahead of possible price increases.
Speaker 9: Some video game fans are looking forward to a preview
Speaker 9: of Nintendo's switch to gaming console that's going to be
Speaker 9: released to some time this year. A live stream presentation
Speaker 9: is planned for just a few minutes from now, with
Speaker 9: Nintendo providing a clearer look at the new console. Pace
Speaker 9: of hiring by companies picked up last month. ADPs as
Speaker 9: one hundred fifty five thousand workers were added to private
Speaker 9: payrolls in March, and that's more than expected. Employers added
Speaker 9: to eighty four thousand jobs in February. Looking away down
Speaker 9: the road, the National Football League announced that Amazon's Prime
Speaker 9: Video will get to stream one football game on Christmas Day.
Speaker 9: Netflix will have two games. That's the same as last year.
Speaker 9: Variety notes this is not a special deal for Amazon.
Speaker 9: Prime already had the rights to Thursday Night football, and
Speaker 9: Christmas just happens to fall on a Thursday this year.
Speaker 9: Beginning next month, Domino's Pizza will start accepting orders through
Speaker 9: door Dash this ends Uber Eats exclusive deal is Domino's
Speaker 9: delivery service, and case a developer in Brazil is planning
Speaker 9: to build the tallest residential tower in the world. Potential
Speaker 9: buyers will have to be really rich and really love
Speaker 9: high rise living. This tower will have one hundred and
Speaker 9: fifty seven floors and top out at nearly eighteen hundred feet.
Speaker 1: Casey, yeah, no, thank you, not for me. Hey, just
Speaker 1: because everyone's getting told today, what was your favorite Val
Speaker 1: Kilmer movie? The actor has passed.
Speaker 9: There, Jeff, Yeah, I'm trying to find I'm just trying
Speaker 9: trying to think. I saw saw him in one of
Speaker 9: the Batman movies. I don't don't really recall.
Speaker 1: The top Gun, Top Gun.
Speaker 9: Yeah I did see that, so yeah, those those good choices.
Speaker 1: He also played Jim Morrison in The Doors. I know
Speaker 1: you like music.
Speaker 5: I do like music.
Speaker 1: Didn't see that one though.
Speaker 9: I'm not a obviously you you if you've unearthed the
Speaker 9: fact that I'm not a big, big moviegoer.
Speaker 1: But no, but I mean those are some big movies.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, all right, Well appreciate it. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: the up day, thank you, sir. Okay, t see Ross
Speaker 1: and I were betting he'd seen the Doors because music movie.
Speaker 1: So I thought it was a pretty good theory. Top gun,
Speaker 1: he did see it, so I saw somebody somebody on
Speaker 1: Twitter was saying he didn't, so all right, And then
Speaker 1: I left a few off the list there obviously, Uh,
Speaker 1: let me flip back here. Sorry, I'm a little distracted
Speaker 1: on something. There isn't a There was an amazing moment yesterday.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. When it comes to people chasing
Speaker 1: members of Congress around in those tunnels to the elevator
Speaker 1: and screaming at them for stuff, it has been so
Speaker 1: astroturfed that my default assumption is that person is not
Speaker 1: just a regular Joe or Jane, right. My assumption is
Speaker 1: they are doing so as part of an organized political protest,
Speaker 1: but a non disclosed one they're part of, perhaps some
Speaker 1: sort of organization or group, or they're just simply not
Speaker 1: who they say they are. That's and that's largely thanks
Speaker 1: to groups like Code Pink and others who have made
Speaker 1: this kind of their thing. So I will always take
Speaker 1: a wait and see. So this guy was chasing Senator
Speaker 1: Banks around yesterday and screaming at him because he said
Speaker 1: he was an age employee, lost his job, and then
Speaker 1: Banks gets on an elevator. They can't. You can't get
Speaker 1: on the elevator with them. And it's that moment where
Speaker 1: where that's closing and they're still talking, and at the
Speaker 1: moment he says the word clown, the elevator doors closed.
Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing. Listen to this. I was there
Speaker 1: working at HHS. I was fired illegally on February fourteenth.
Speaker 7: Are there many people who are not getting social service programs,
Speaker 7: especially people with disabilities?
Speaker 1: Are you going to do anything to stop what's happening?
Speaker 1: You probably deserved it. I deserved it. I deserved it. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great to hear. Why Why did I deserve it?
Speaker 1: Because you seem like a clown. You shouldn't have said that. Oh,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have said that, right, Okay, Look, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: What is not disclosed is he has been following him around.
Speaker 1: I guess he was. He was harassing him and others
Speaker 1: for hours. And again I don't know the guy's story,
