Speaker 1: So glad I was able to get on Twitter and
Speaker 1: read various elected officials tweets. So I get myself lined
Speaker 1: out this morning because I almost I almost did a
Speaker 1: bad almost did a bad Let's see here. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys are aware, So uh A
Speaker 1: couple who was outside is I want to be clear
Speaker 1: here what the event was was an event being put
Speaker 1: on by the American Jewish Committee, So these were these
Speaker 1: were a couple of staffers who were a couple who
Speaker 1: happened to be Jewish outside of a Jewish event up
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. We we're murdered yesterday. And and
Speaker 1: I was looking at the various facts and witness statements
Speaker 1: and police reports and bodycam video and more witness testimony,
Speaker 1: probably some CCTV outside of the event. It's Washington, d C,
Speaker 1: after all, And I was this close to formulating a
Speaker 1: possible theory on the motive. And then luckily I saw
Speaker 1: the tweets from AOC rasheated to lead various other Democrats,
Speaker 1: and they were very clear that we should not rush
Speaker 1: to judgment. We should wait for all of the facts
Speaker 1: to come in and then and only then should we
Speaker 1: attempt to I don't know, figure out a motive for
Speaker 1: this thing, and thankfully, thankfully I saw that and realized,
Speaker 1: what do we know? Really, I mean, really really as
Speaker 1: far as motive goes, Yes, most witnesses the police report
Speaker 1: the cameras they do, in fact apparently show a guy
Speaker 1: who at one point people in the area thought literally
Speaker 1: was potentially another victim, so they were like giving him
Speaker 1: water and stuff. They do show them shouting free, free
Speaker 1: Palestine while he murdered these two, at one point pulling
Speaker 1: out the red version of the Hamas headwrap thing while
Speaker 1: screaming free, free Palestine as police are taking him into custody.
Speaker 1: Thirty one year old Elias rod Reig, Is outside of
Speaker 1: an event organized with the American Jewish Community, is said
Speaker 1: to have murdered the two. This happened around nine pm
Speaker 1: last night, again screaming free free Palestine, holding out the
Speaker 1: head thing and literally like screaming into the video camera
Speaker 1: by one of the witnesses, Katie Kalisher, who's one of
Speaker 1: the witness credit with filming the video there. And I
Speaker 1: was here and I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm seeing
Speaker 1: all this and I think I might know the motive.
Speaker 1: But luckily I saw let's see this is just one
Speaker 1: of the many from AOC as well. Wait more details.
Speaker 1: We must be clear that hatred has no home here.
Speaker 1: Our prayers are with the victims, family and loved ones.
Speaker 1: I would caution those not to rush to judgment until
Speaker 1: all the facts are in. Thank Gosh, I saw that man,
Speaker 1: because here I was ready to rush to judgment. Ross.
Speaker 1: Did you formulate an opinion on this story when you
Speaker 1: saw it? And do you feel bad for doing that?
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen it. I had heard it. You you
Speaker 2: just discussing it at the moment, like right now, and
Speaker 2: I made sort of rush to judgment.
Speaker 1: I do have to what do you whoa you think
Speaker 1: people are rushing to judgment or you feel that you
Speaker 1: might be rushing to judgment?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: What what is it about this scenario I just described
Speaker 1: that's literally on the witness video that makes you think
Speaker 1: that you might know what happened? Who are you? Who
Speaker 1: were you? Man? You just said were you there? Let
Speaker 1: me ask it? Were you there?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I was not? Oh wow, okay, you think I didn't
Speaker 2: come across that way? I was not there?
Speaker 1: Okay, clear, I don't look. This is not the rush
Speaker 1: to judgment. Show Free Free palace. That could mean anything,
Speaker 1: couldn't it.
Speaker 2: I mean, if anything, this show has a track record
Speaker 2: of not rushing to judgment, Like all jokes aside, and
Speaker 2: like there's a lot a lot of stories where a
Speaker 2: lot of people just run with it and we tend
Speaker 2: to take a few days to take it all in
Speaker 2: and form an opinion on it. So that is actually
Speaker 2: something we do in this show, is that we h Yeah, So.
Speaker 1: That's I guess that's what we have to do here,
Speaker 1: is right? Right? I know, she's what is wrong with
Speaker 1: you people? Dear God, We're so we're gonna We're gonna
Speaker 1: go with the murdered Jews screen free free palace. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I just rushed your judgment. Just happened, just happened. I
Speaker 1: couldn't help it. I'm a horrible person. I understand this. Sure,
Speaker 1: AOC is right. I have a theory that the Jewishness
Speaker 1: of the people involved in the events surrounding it might
Speaker 1: have played a role in this, might have played a role.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just gonna have to own it. And
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what motive AOC and Rashida Talib and
Speaker 1: others would have to be, like, yeah, we should be
Speaker 1: careful here. We never know, never know. And if you
Speaker 1: go on Twitter right now, there's already people essentially saying
Speaker 1: that it's an inside job because that's where we are.
Speaker 1: That's insane. Let's see here. Oh, look at that Boston
Speaker 1: Paul rush into judgment. Dude, you were a cop. You
Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't do that. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know you're retired, but like you can't be like I
Speaker 1: think I know what happened, we don't have all the details.
Speaker 2: It's also had a character for Boston Paul. I really
Speaker 2: remember it took him Like how long did he have
Speaker 2: to stick out white He bowled your strip club there, right,
Speaker 2: it was like a decade or something.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's a that's a top tier criminal, man.
Speaker 1: You got you gotta get all your ducks in a row.
Speaker 1: Especially remember he had an FBI agent in his pocket, Whitey,
Speaker 1: So you gotta get that stuff. Uh, get that stuff
Speaker 1: figured out, dude, I don't know why. That's Like the
Speaker 1: first tweet I saw on it this morning was aoc
Speaker 1: let's not rush to judgment?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: Whatever could it be?
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right? Uh, and you know I screwed this
Speaker 1: whole thing up, almost rushing to judgment and not playing
Speaker 1: the music. All right, So whatever do we think could
Speaker 1: have been at play? Here? These suspects seen pacing back
Speaker 1: and forth outside the museum it's a Jewish museum of
Speaker 1: some sort leading up to the shooting, allegedly flashed a
Speaker 1: handgun in front of a group of four people. That
Speaker 1: could mean anything, That could mean anything. Oh, this New
Speaker 1: York Post story is so biased. Man before opening fire that,
Speaker 1: according to DC Police Chief Pamelus Smith, well, who is she?
Speaker 1: Who is she to relate the facts that are on
Speaker 1: like nine cameras? Let's see here the event was a
Speaker 1: reception for young diplomats at the American Jewish Committee. The
Speaker 1: crazy thing is as the alleged shooter is leaving, leaving
Speaker 1: the area there and coming out, they start rendering aid
Speaker 1: to them because they're like, there was a shooting. You're
Speaker 1: obviously stressed. Can we get you some water once you
Speaker 1: sit down relaxed for just a moment, And dude did
Speaker 1: people were calming him down, bringing him water, taking care
Speaker 1: of them, said, who is this cave of floating head here?
Speaker 1: The person who took one of the videos anyway, little
Speaker 1: did we know he was somebody that executed people in
Speaker 1: coul Butt. Ma'am who was there and filmed it, ma'am
Speaker 1: who was there and filmed the whole thing. How dare
Speaker 1: you rush to judgment saying this guy may have murdered
Speaker 1: some people. I've just been informed we don't do that.
Speaker 1: It was only when police rushed in and the suspect
Speaker 1: pulled out a red cafia or whatever that thing is,
Speaker 1: and then others realized he was the suspected shooter. The
Speaker 1: suspect announced the police that he was unarmed and had
Speaker 1: quote committed the shooting for Gaza. That could mean anything.
Speaker 1: We don't know what that means. Quote committed the shooting
Speaker 1: for Gaza in his own words, quote I did this
Speaker 1: for Gaza. Free, free Palestine. There's only one solution into
Speaker 1: Fada revolution. There's only one solution into Fada revolution. That rhymes.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a musician, And then just kept yelling
Speaker 1: free free Palestine over and over again. Oh you know what,
Speaker 1: ross That sounds like a modern day hit record, right there.
Speaker 1: Get a little something that rhymes, a little catchy. There's
Speaker 1: only one solution into Fada revolution. And then you just
Speaker 1: scream the same words over and over. That's the top
Speaker 1: forty hit these days. Why is this musician being detained? Ah,
Speaker 1: this is where we are. I it's so completely predictable
Speaker 1: and that and and there's this expectation that I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and just you know, ignore the dude
Speaker 1: giving a full on confession for like twenty minutes. Got
Speaker 1: away for the facts there. I'm sure this dude's got
Speaker 1: a manifesto. His his name is interesting. I usually don't
Speaker 1: get into the names. But it's not as Middle Eastern
Speaker 1: e as I thought it might be. The Ketchman Drift,
Speaker 1: Elias Rodriguez.
Speaker 2: I mean, even if they did have a manifesto, it
Speaker 2: doesn't mean we'll be ever, you know, be getting down
Speaker 2: to like, you know, figuring it out.
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: You can't release that manifesto.
Speaker 1: Right, It might it might spur violence, you know, so
Speaker 1: we'll never know. Yeah, that's probably it's probably true. I'm
Speaker 1: probably a Trump guy, right if you had to speculate,
Speaker 1: that is not how I want to wake up my Thursday.
Speaker 1: But here we are.
Speaker 2: I mean, before you rush to judgment, to the river
Speaker 2: to the sea could mean anything you know, from Mississippi.
Speaker 1: To well, that's true. Can you name a river in
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Uh, perhaps the New River would be a
Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, fear that'd be a good one. Could
Speaker 1: be that one. Can you name an ocean?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Wow, Ross knows both the river and the sea.
Speaker 2: Let's not want this so let's not jump to conclusions.
Speaker 1: Now that's a good point. Well, oh, Washington's gonna extra
Speaker 1: suck today. So just you know, so we're clear six
Speaker 1: point twenty hang out. Don't rush to judgment, bro, We're
Speaker 1: not rushing to judgment here on this show. Yeah, some
Speaker 1: guy screaming free, free Palestine probably murdered to Jewish diplomats
Speaker 1: I guess in Washington, d C. With his hamas do rag.
Speaker 1: But we don't need to rush to judgment. That's what's
Speaker 1: important here. So just wanna just want to be clear
Speaker 1: on what's going on. I'm actually surprised there's not more
Speaker 1: social media on this dude already. But this this is
Speaker 1: where we find ourselves. He looks like somebody and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think it's it's not a positive thing, just
Speaker 1: trying to trying to figure out who he looks like.
Speaker 1: To say, it just hit me when I was watching
Speaker 1: the video this morning, not rushing to h to judgment. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see Trump Party weighed in announcing the deadly shootings
Speaker 1: that the killings were done out of hate and radicalism.
Speaker 1: There's going to be zero, all right, So over under.
Speaker 1: I know we're not allowed to rush to judgment, but
Speaker 1: just real quick over under on actual, honest to goodness
Speaker 1: rhetoric discussion as part of the greater news analysis by
Speaker 1: the Legacy networks. You think, do you think this might
Speaker 1: broach an actual discussion on CNN? Maybe if Jennings pushes it. Perhaps.
Speaker 1: What's even crazier is you have like people who are,
Speaker 1: you know, purportedly on opposite ends of the political spectrum
Speaker 1: that actually are grossly okay with this, which is a
Speaker 1: feature of twenty twenty five that I just I don't get.
Speaker 1: I don't like at all. It literally it ruins my
Speaker 1: social media experience some days. This following the story of
Speaker 1: a shooting the two I don't know if they themselves
Speaker 1: are diplomats outside of a Jewish museum mixer party of
Speaker 1: some sort while screaming free, free Palestine. And I just
Speaker 1: pointed out that when it comes to the boo Jews stuff,
Speaker 1: I can tell you which direction the media is going
Speaker 1: to go regardless of what evidence is out there, So
Speaker 1: just prepare yourself for that. It's and it's not a
Speaker 1: good look. And for whatever reason on the Twitter, it's
Speaker 1: really kind of creepy this morning. I'm just gonna warn you. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't get served that in the algorithm, but
Speaker 1: like this is too easy for the media to ignore
Speaker 1: the Free Palestine College gathering, you know, really the stuff
Speaker 1: that looks like it's at play here for some people
Speaker 1: who want to who have to always post memes about
Speaker 1: how many Jews are in a thing? Was the way
Speaker 1: I saw a worded the other day and I thought
Speaker 1: that was appropriate, you know what I'm talking about with like, ah,
Speaker 1: here's CEO's lists. Look, they're all Jewish or Indian. I've
Speaker 1: seen that one, but or any of the rest of it.
Speaker 1: And I promise you that's where the media is gonna go.
Speaker 1: Just prepare yourself, even though we're all told to just
Speaker 1: kind of take a take away and see, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: predict it right now. So there you go that story.
Speaker 1: And honestly, I when I thought it was, you know,
Speaker 1: last night, after i'd sent prep I just assumed the
Speaker 1: Oval Office South African meeting would be the big story,
Speaker 1: but not this news cycle man. Go ahead and they'll
Speaker 1: dig something up. Yeah, I do. I think they worked
Speaker 1: at the embassy. I'm just not sure their title because
Speaker 1: the event was for young ambassadors, so I don't know,
Speaker 1: not that it matters, right, It was clearly an event
Speaker 1: that had a bunch of Jewish people at it, right,
Speaker 1: just the name of the event where it's being held,
Speaker 1: any of the rest. So here's some lunatic who's like,
Speaker 1: I have to shoot Jewish people. This is going to
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be a target rich environment. But I
Speaker 1: can't rush to judgment. I was instructed as much. So
Speaker 1: what a story, man, And what a story with the
Speaker 1: Oval Office South Africa meeting? Holy cow, yesterday. Let me
Speaker 1: just handicap this for you, shall we? All Right? So
Speaker 1: yesterday the and unless you are literally just crawling out
Speaker 1: from under a rock, I'm sure you're aware of this,
Speaker 1: but there's some details that are kind of nuts. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Donald Trump had a meeting with the President of
Speaker 1: South Africa. Now, the reason he was here, Cyril Ramphosa
Speaker 1: or whatever Rama Posa, how he pronounced his name. He
Speaker 1: was here because he was doing the media spray handshake,
Speaker 1: Because he wants to get a trade deal done, and
Speaker 1: South Africa is kind of important, especially in the automotive side.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't realize that, like BMW that's
Speaker 1: that's like their number two manufacturing plant, or at least
Speaker 1: it was years ago. I don't know if it still is,
Speaker 1: but a lot of BMW's are manufactured in South Africa
Speaker 1: and then come into the US. I only know this
Speaker 1: because when I had a BMW, uh literally it was
Speaker 1: built in South Africa and it was part of an
Speaker 1: endorsement thing that we did and they kind of walked
Speaker 1: me through the whole process. So it's important that South
Speaker 1: Africa gets something done. That's why the South African president
Speaker 1: was in Washington yesterday. So he's going in he just
Speaker 1: assumes it's gonna be your your Hey, let's smile, let's
Speaker 1: do a handshake. But Trump Trump had some other thoughts man,
Speaker 1: and of course the media is like, oh, there's he's
Speaker 1: he he ambushed this man with unsubstantiated claims. And you
Speaker 1: know what the claims were. The claims were, Hey, why
Speaker 1: why uh why are you guys singing songs about murder
Speaker 1: and all the white farmers. That's weird?
Speaker 5: Huh?
Speaker 1: Why why are you all doing that? And uh, he
Speaker 1: didn't just bring it up. He brought a sizzle reel,
Speaker 1: as we call it in the biz. He brought a
Speaker 1: highlights video and then while this dude's sitting there, he
Speaker 1: can't move, he's already and I'll play what prompted this.
Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't playing what the conversation before it?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play that for you. The whole thing was nuts,
Speaker 1: and he clearly expected it because he brought it. He
Speaker 1: brought along like white South African celebrities to be like,
Speaker 1: look they're fine. Look at that guy. Hey, look how
Speaker 1: live he is. I don't know what you're talking about. Like, so,
Speaker 1: everyone going, well, they just caught him off guard. No,
Speaker 1: it didn't. He brought Ratief Goosen. He brought a PGA
Speaker 1: goll He brought two of them, but he brought Ratief
Speaker 1: Goosen's the one you're gonna hear from. He brought two
Speaker 1: South African white PGA golfers. Why do you think those
Speaker 1: were the people he chose because he realized is it's
Speaker 1: sixty of his countrymen just moved to the US that
Speaker 1: this is a talking point. This guy wasn't ambush in
Speaker 1: the sense that he didn't think it was going to
Speaker 1: be brought up, and in fact even cobbled an answer
Speaker 1: on what Trump can do to fully understand that this
Speaker 1: thing is totally not happening.
Speaker 6: He will take Krisdent Trump listening to the voices off
Speaker 6: South Africa, some of.
Speaker 1: Whom the question, by the way, is what will it
Speaker 1: take to convince Donald Trump there's not that you guys
Speaker 1: aren't murdering the white farmers. This was an actual question.
Speaker 6: He will take Krisdent Trump listening to the voices off
Speaker 6: South Africa, some of whom are his good friends, like
Speaker 6: those who are here when we have talks between us
Speaker 6: on the quiet at the quiet table. It will take
Speaker 6: Chrisdent Trump to listen to them. I'm not going to
Speaker 6: be repeating what I've been saying. I would say if
Speaker 6: that was a freak he got on a farmagenocide, I
Speaker 6: can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here,
Speaker 6: including my Minister of Agriculture.
Speaker 7: He would not be with me.
Speaker 6: So it'll take him President Trump, listening to their stories,
Speaker 6: to their perspective, all right.
Speaker 1: And we'll get to we'll get to that part here
Speaker 1: in just a moment. So that was his answer, and
Speaker 1: almost immediately because Trump's just sitting there, he's listening. He's
Speaker 1: kind of doing the hand thing, which he does, and
Speaker 1: but he listens to the answer there and then he's ready.
Speaker 1: He's got he's got a TV wheeled in, he's got
Speaker 1: a staffer who's you know, in his mind, is supposed
Speaker 1: to get this thing rolling. And now the South African
Speaker 1: president can't do anything. He's stuck there. He's got all
Speaker 1: the media. This is part of the quote media spray,
Speaker 1: which I always hated that term. So they're sitting there,
Speaker 1: they're ready to do this thing. This guy's just all
Speaker 1: I can do is sit there. And so here's what
Speaker 1: Trump does.
Speaker 8: Use We turn the lights down, turn the lights down,
Speaker 8: and just put this on this right behind you, there's
Speaker 8: this tournament.
Speaker 9: We talked to you people not went to occupieland.
Speaker 6: From you from the present from what we don't care.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do what I.
Speaker 9: Want to do.
Speaker 10: Who are.
Speaker 1: So? So what you're seeing is if you've been on
Speaker 1: Twitter at all or other social media, you've seen these videos,
Speaker 1: these big stadium rallies. That's a member of the president's
Speaker 1: party there and they do things like singing about killing
Speaker 1: the boor and they speak English there, so it's really
Speaker 1: it's not a translation issue. And I keep reading these
Speaker 1: stories that people who think that that means that they
Speaker 1: want to murder white farmers are are not uh what
Speaker 1: is what is the term they use? You're not up
Speaker 1: on the heritage. They don't really mean that, not really.
Speaker 1: And this video goes on for four and a half minutes.
Speaker 1: It wasn't hey, let's listen to this quick audio cut
Speaker 1: and then I'll talk about it. It was a four
Speaker 1: and a half minute montage and he just just let
Speaker 1: it roll. And then the South African president like is
Speaker 1: averting his eyes man, and Trump's like pointing back to
Speaker 1: the TV. It's crazy. It's uh, it's it's some of
Speaker 1: the nat I said, it's some of the nastiest work
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Man, is this guy? What's the guy
Speaker 1: gonna do if he gets up and leaves? That's the story.
Speaker 1: He just got to sit there while this.
Speaker 9: Is gone at South Point.
Speaker 1: It's a it's the it's all the hits. He's playing
Speaker 1: all the hits for four and a half minutes. And
Speaker 1: then just when you think you can't get any more uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: there's a video which which you've probably seen over the
Speaker 1: last few weeks where uh a group created across for
Speaker 1: every white South African farmer who has been killed, and
Speaker 1: then they lined a road with them. And so it's
Speaker 1: just this eerie picture out in you know, this kind
Speaker 1: of open area of South Africa, and it's just crosses
Speaker 1: as far as you can see. And Trump starts kind
Speaker 1: of lecturing him in the middle of.
Speaker 4: Us and these are burial sites right here, burial sites
Speaker 4: over a thousands of white farmers.
Speaker 8: And those cars are lined up to pay love on
Speaker 8: a Sunday morning, Each one of those white things you
Speaker 8: see is across and there's approximately a thousand of them.
Speaker 8: They're all white farmers, the family of white farmers, and
Speaker 8: those cars aren't driving this stop there to pay respects
Speaker 8: to their family member who's killed. And it's a terrible sight.
Speaker 8: I've never seen anything like it.
Speaker 1: Now, Remember how the President of South Africa mentioned you
Speaker 1: just got to listen to people. In fact, I brought
Speaker 1: along these people. What he brought along were two white
Speaker 1: PGA golfers who play out of South Africa. But that's
Speaker 1: who he brought. Now, askers of why would he bring them,
Speaker 1: Why do you think Ross, why do you think he
Speaker 1: selected two PGA golfers from South Africa who happened to be.
Speaker 2: White, probably because he knows they're safe because they're giant celebrities.
Speaker 1: And Trump likes golf. That's how simple. That's how simple
Speaker 1: to this dude is. He's like, Trump loves golf. Man,
Speaker 1: let me just bring these golfers along. So if those
Speaker 1: are your Hey, look these white guys are still alive.
Speaker 1: See see see it's either still alive. Look a look
Speaker 1: at it. He's relatively uninjured. See it's all nonsense, it's
Speaker 1: all whoey. Your story better hold up. But then Retief
Speaker 1: Goosen starts talking. Remember he's the character witness for how
Speaker 1: awesome things are in South Africa. That's what he's there for.
Speaker 1: He's there to go, he's there to go. There's no
Speaker 1: genocide going on. I play golf, I come back, nobody
Speaker 1: tries to murder me. See, everything's fine. And then that
Speaker 1: goes off the rail.
Speaker 11: Up in a area in South Africa that is a
Speaker 11: farman area of quota guana. Uh, and yeah there's some
Speaker 11: issues up there, obviously. Uh my dad was a proper
Speaker 11: develop as well as a partine farmer. And yeah, some
Speaker 11: of these uh, buddy, farmers got killed. The farm is
Speaker 11: still going. My brother's running. But it's a constant battle
Speaker 11: with farms trying to get they're trying to burn the
Speaker 11: farms down. Do uh chase you away? So it is
Speaker 11: it is a concern to try and make a living
Speaker 11: as a farmer. And at the end they you know,
Speaker 11: we with our farmers. There's no food on a plate,
Speaker 11: so we need we meet the farmers. You do it
Speaker 11: or most of the film and you wouldn't do it.
Speaker 8: He wouldn't even want to do what you do.
Speaker 1: They love the farmy.
Speaker 8: They don't wanna leave or is it it's a struggle.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and you know food, food and fresh water is
Speaker 11: the most important thing in life. You know, we're about
Speaker 11: those two finchy COCKSPI.
Speaker 4: How is the water there?
Speaker 11: The water is great obviously, h.
Speaker 12: M.
Speaker 11: All the water comes out of all haul out of
Speaker 11: ground for us today. But yeah, it is a battle
Speaker 11: to get the order out sometimes when all the equipment
Speaker 11: gets stole in all the time that you're trying to.
Speaker 4: Get your family and your brother and they feel safe.
Speaker 1: On the farm.
Speaker 11: They left beyond electric fences, you know, trying to be
Speaker 11: at knight to sight. But it is. It is some
Speaker 11: constant whenever you leave that that something could happen. And uh,
Speaker 11: you know about both at msb attacked in the house.
Speaker 11: Is my mom's being attacked in the house when she
Speaker 11: was eighty?
Speaker 1: So it is, it is.
Speaker 11: Difficulty.
Speaker 1: This is your character witness. This is the guy you
Speaker 1: brought along to to assuage fears. And did you hear
Speaker 1: his story? His relative still farm, they have to live
Speaker 1: behind electric fence. All of them have been attacked in
Speaker 1: their homes, including his mother, and they're still the equipment
Speaker 1: or they arson it trying to run him off the land.
Speaker 1: It's just it's probably due to the fact that Goosen
Speaker 1: is a successful PJA golfer. I suspect that their security
Speaker 1: is probably a lot better than others. That's your character witness.
Speaker 1: That's the guy you brought and he literally just laid
Speaker 1: out the thing that people are saying it's happening that
Speaker 1: all the media now says isn't happening. Absolute dumpster find.
Speaker 1: If you're the South African president, there's not much you
Speaker 1: can do. You're stuck there. You can go be angry
Speaker 1: in the other room. I bet that suit stinks too.
Speaker 1: I bet he was sweating bullets through that thing. But like,
Speaker 1: that's your guy. And Trump wasn't hard interrogating him. He
Speaker 1: was talking to him like a golfer, Like he talked
Speaker 1: to some random golfer. Dude, it's some pro amned thing
Speaker 1: he was at just having a conversation. He'd have to
Speaker 1: rack that info. He has very basic questions. The whole
Speaker 1: thing was, I had never seen anything like that. And
Speaker 1: now people are like, Oh, you're gonna blow the deal
Speaker 1: with South Afa South. We don't need South Africa. You
Speaker 1: thought we didn't need Canada, we don't need South Africa.
Speaker 1: You'd like to be able to get something done, but
Speaker 1: clearly Trump's got some concerns. So anyway, all right, six
Speaker 1: fifty one phone number eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seven four. Coming up on the show, we
Speaker 1: got our NERD correspondence segments. Since it's Thursday, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that coming up at eight oh five. Wahy, Nancy
Speaker 1: Mace is in the news cycle, isn't she? And the
Speaker 1: most terrifying version of who was running the government seems
Speaker 1: to be Jake Tapper's theory, although I don't know if
Speaker 1: I believe it, And I'll explain why we'll do that
Speaker 1: coming up. Radio program followed the story at all of
Speaker 1: this hiker from Bermuda. What is her name? Twenty eight
Speaker 1: year old Tiffany Slayton. All right, I did see a
Speaker 1: little national coverage on this, but I was watching her
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday. I don't know that I'm buying this
Speaker 1: chick story. So if you don't know, here's the crux
Speaker 1: of the story. This woman went into the Sierra Nevadam
Speaker 1: Mountains there in California. I think she was going camping
Speaker 1: and hiking for like five days. There is a trail, well,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of trails, but there's a really famous
Speaker 1: one called the John Muir Moore Mirror. I can never
Speaker 1: pronounce his last name. He's the photographer who very famously
Speaker 1: did the first photographs of, among other things, Yosemite, right,
Speaker 1: and he's the guy who would always kind of place
Speaker 1: himself in the photographs. So there's a very famous photo
Speaker 1: of Viewing Rock, which is just this big round rock
Speaker 1: that sits off one of the peninsulas there, and he's
Speaker 1: kind of like hanging over the edge. And these photos
Speaker 1: are from they're very collectible. In fact, who was the
Speaker 1: guy who played Winston Churchill and Darkest Hour. What is
Speaker 1: that actor's name. He's a big photography nut. There's a
Speaker 1: really great documentary on John Muir's photography. And this guy
Speaker 1: owns like a bunch of those famous photos. That's that's
Speaker 1: his collectible, all right. So they found her, they like
Speaker 1: nobody could find her. And then twenty five days later
Speaker 1: she showed up and she had like broken into a
Speaker 1: luxury resort that's a seasonal resort, right, because it's April
Speaker 1: when they actually find her, and she was just kind
Speaker 1: of living in this five star resort that wasn't staffed.
Speaker 1: It didn't open until May. I guess somebody showed up
Speaker 1: from maintenance. They found her in there. But then she
Speaker 1: started telling this story, all right, And she's from Bermuda.
Speaker 1: And I just point this out, not because I have
Speaker 1: a problem with people from Bermuda, but people from Bermuda,
Speaker 1: if Bermuda and the Sierra Nevada Mountains have almost nothing
Speaker 1: in common, from the wildlife, to the temperature, to the
Speaker 1: to the plants that you'll find there, almost nothing. So
Speaker 1: that's one thing. So she said at the start of
Speaker 1: the trip, she told reporters she had fallen off a
Speaker 1: cliff knocked out for two hours, woke up. Both of
Speaker 1: her legs were injured severely. She had to quote physically
Speaker 1: pop one knee back into place, splin one of her legs.
Speaker 1: Then she started moving again. Her Siri on her phone worked,
Speaker 1: but her GPS didn't. It's weird. She described herself as
Speaker 1: a pre Olympian in archery. She splinted one of her legs,
Speaker 1: popped the kneeback in splinted that. Then a snowstorm hit.
Speaker 1: She got swept away in an avalanche, but she was
Speaker 1: able to get back on a trail. She couldn't call
Speaker 1: nine one one, but she could ask Siri questions about
Speaker 1: plants to eat, which is there an offline Siri that
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of. I don't know, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: And then for the next twenty five days she kept hiking,
Speaker 1: surviving off leaks and boiled snow, hiking up to eleven
Speaker 1: thousand foot high peaks so she had a view. She
Speaker 1: suffered thirteen heavy snowstorms, and she had to fight bears
Speaker 1: and coyotes to emerge. Eventually found in an empty wilderness
Speaker 1: resort Vemillion Valley Resort, hanging out one of the cabins.
Speaker 1: I guess the owner showed up to do maintenance or
Speaker 1: get ready to open. It's like, oh, is there somebody
Speaker 1: living one of the cabins. Yeah, dude, the whole thing
Speaker 1: sounds super sketchy, just throwing it out there, like that's
Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing story, all of those things. You fall
Speaker 1: off a cliff, then an avalanche gets you, and then
Speaker 1: you gotta fight a bear. But you can ask Siri
Speaker 1: how to do it. Yeah, some some this is there's
Speaker 1: super main character syndrome going on here too. By the
Speaker 1: way they interpressed, I'm not gonna play the whole thing
Speaker 1: for you. There's just there's something that sounds off. Also,
Speaker 1: leaks don't grow there. I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: know this, You're not gonna if you go up in
Speaker 1: the mountains of Californy, if you go up at any
Speaker 1: mountains for that matter, but at that elevation. But if
Speaker 1: you go into Sierra Nevada mountains, I think the wild
Speaker 1: leaks don't grow for like a thousand miles or something
Speaker 1: some crazy number. But if she didn't know and just
Speaker 1: thought they were leaks, I don't know, maybe maybe there's
Speaker 1: something to it. Let's see here. Yeah, and Twitter's also
Speaker 1: not buying it. She bragged about her resume basically asked, oh,
Speaker 1: and then she said that then she was asking to
Speaker 1: get cast on a survival show. During her press conference,
Speaker 1: She's like, well, obviously, if you're you know, the producers
Speaker 1: for Survivor or anything, I'd be a pretty good contestant.
Speaker 1: And her parents are like just super weird about it.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm going to go with I don't know
Speaker 1: that I believe this story. I don't want to jump
Speaker 1: to conclusions this morning, but the whole thing sounds like
Speaker 1: and also if you kept finding the trail, like there's
Speaker 1: a few things, one of which those trails in California
Speaker 1: are pretty nicely maintained, those the over especially the Mirror Trail.
Speaker 1: I've actually I've been on, not the whole thing, but
Speaker 1: I've been on a portion of it. Like it's very
Speaker 1: clear you're on the trail, and there's markers and they
Speaker 1: have call boxes up there too. She was kind of crazy,
Speaker 1: and again she really didn't have supplies, so she's living
Speaker 1: out in the snow for twenty five days, just got
Speaker 1: swept in an avalanche and neither of her legs work,
Speaker 1: and she and she made it twenty some miles. Let's see.
Speaker 1: When I asked how she started fires, she didn't answer, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think she was chilling at the
Speaker 1: luxury resort. Man. I look at the pictures too, looks
Speaker 1: very nice. So but Shackleton, she's probably not all right.
Speaker 1: So yesterday, yesterday, out of VanderBurg Air speaking of California,
Speaker 1: out of VanderBurg Air Force Base, which is right there
Speaker 1: on point conception by Lompoc Lompoke, depending on how you
Speaker 1: want to pronounce it, we fired off our new Minuteman missile, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, we changed the name of this all right,
Speaker 1: So our previous what was it called Sentinel or something,
Speaker 1: So the Minuteman three, which is our latest ICBM. And
Speaker 1: by the way, these are the ones too that were
Speaker 1: the newest. But also we're being decommissioned under Biden for
Speaker 1: no reason I can understand. So Trump's like that, we're
Speaker 1: not going to decommission these. Let's fire one. See what
Speaker 1: it does, and it's pretty badass. The missile, now we
Speaker 1: call it the new Minuteman, is called the doomsday missile.
Speaker 1: So that's pretty aggressive. But I mean, this is what
Speaker 1: it's for, right, You're not pulling this thing out all
Speaker 1: the time. We have roughly four hundred. I'm sure we
Speaker 1: have a lot more than that, if that's what they're disclosing.
Speaker 1: Mmmmm yeah. These are the land based Minuteman three missiles
Speaker 1: called the Doomsday Ross. What do you think of Doomsday
Speaker 1: versus Sentinel? What do you think of the name change?
Speaker 1: Doomsday or oh Ross's screen aphone call? I mean I'm
Speaker 1: all for name stuff. Badass man. Remember when you heard
Speaker 1: Remember when you learned what MOAB stood for Mother of
Speaker 1: All bombs? That's great, man. We should have We need
Speaker 1: you neat. You want your badass weapons to have badass names.
Speaker 1: It's part of the deterrence. Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been scared of a scud missile? Now?
Speaker 1: What do you know about scud missiles? Go? If you
Speaker 1: were old enough to remember the first person the first
Speaker 1: goal for What do you know about scud missiles? They
Speaker 1: don't hit what they're going after unless it's by accident.
Speaker 1: The things are garbage. Man. We we watch for what
Speaker 1: two years? Year and a half? They Oh Saddam launched
Speaker 1: a scud let's see, Oh it hit a goat. Oh
Speaker 1: that's too bad? Or did we just shoot the damn
Speaker 1: things down. This is tech well above and beyond that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I call it the doomsday missile. I'm with that.
Speaker 1: This is why we need a missile parade, telling you
Speaker 1: what a lot more terrified of a doomsday missile than
Speaker 1: a sentinel. Sorry, I love the name. Change, Good on them.
Speaker 1: Why in the world were we going to decommission these things?
Speaker 1: Let's see, So they fired it from it obviously was
Speaker 1: not carrying a nuclear payload. They fired it from Vandenburg
Speaker 1: and I guess it made it to the Marshall Islands
Speaker 1: in like twelve minutes. I'm assuming that's pretty good travels
Speaker 1: at fifteen thousand miles an hour and his course adjustable.
Speaker 1: That's scary. It ain't no scud missile man, and to
Speaker 1: this point still remains somewhat untested. However, under the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: executive order had been given to decommission all of those
Speaker 1: missiles by twenty thirty nine. Now we're going to keep
Speaker 1: a few. Trump wants to do this Golden Dome thing.
Speaker 1: I know you guys familiar with this, So yeah, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump said he expects his Golden Dome missile defense. So
Speaker 1: this is like the Israeli Iron Dome, but for the US,
Speaker 1: I dare you to fly a spy balloon over. Speaking
Speaker 1: from the Oval Office, Trump announced his administration had developed
Speaker 1: a draft architecture of what the Golden Dome would look like.
Speaker 1: He said the project, which is expected to cost one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five billion, so probably a trillion. Let's
Speaker 1: face it would protect America from hypersonic, ballistic and cruise missiles. Now,
Speaker 1: we already are pretty good at intercepting missiles, and in fact,
Speaker 1: I want to say it was during Trump's first term.
Speaker 1: Remember they tested a few of these and they shot
Speaker 1: some missiles down out over the Pacific, and I believe
Speaker 1: all but one was successful, which you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what they were going for, but better than nothing.
Speaker 1: And it was this four and fifty on alert is
Speaker 1: a standard Oh I'm not yeah, I'm not claiming it's
Speaker 1: anything other than the standard test, but it's still pretty badass.
Speaker 1: We need to get one of these for the show man.
Speaker 1: I got some ideas. Let's see, do do do? But
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand miles an hour outpacing the nearest missile, I
Speaker 1: guess the Russia has or China has by six thousand
Speaker 1: miles an hour and still able to hit another missile
Speaker 1: in flight. Kind of amazing. All right, seven eighteen Cacoday
Speaker 1: Radio program when we have a call here, Yes, Jamal,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 13: Ca see see.
Speaker 10: I don't know if you remember being a while back
Speaker 10: you had in China. People were talking about how the
Speaker 10: wizards were treated and how they were set at their
Speaker 10: being in prison and how they're being tortured.
Speaker 7: Well China. Remember during the game Olympic they had a
Speaker 7: wiggle run out there with the watch and light the
Speaker 7: flame and it was like, ooh see, it's just the
Speaker 7: Western propaganda that the wizards were being torturing any.
Speaker 10: Camp and people were like, you just guy, wasn't doing this.
Speaker 13: Doesn't uh?
Speaker 1: I think it's.
Speaker 13: Okay. I know it's okay, but yeah, my bag, but okay,
Speaker 13: it's we we girl, okay, the weakness were sitting there.
Speaker 10: People were like, we've seen you. We know this is happening.
Speaker 10: You you're using these people. And you know what, Casey,
Speaker 10: it's a shame that the president of the United States.
Speaker 10: You know, it was like that guy, he was like
Speaker 10: he was free to say what we wanted to say something.
Speaker 10: You were scared to say something because he's scared of
Speaker 10: his family gonna get hurt back then back in our
Speaker 10: South Africa. Oh, I'm like, why all this really made
Speaker 10: students to will work because we've seen this before, because
Speaker 10: the Wagers want to right the weavers. Well, they did
Speaker 10: the same thing in China when it came to the
Speaker 10: Olympics and they had the Weger one out there. They
Speaker 10: get torch and light the flame and they was like,
Speaker 10: see China is the torturing leaders, right literally did that
Speaker 10: same clime.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah, No, the the whole retief Goosen thing
Speaker 1: and having them there to like they won it backfire too.
Speaker 1: It was just so it was so like death spot predictable.
Speaker 1: So that's that's why I was laughing at him then.
Speaker 1: And then the guy and thanks for the cold ball
Speaker 1: literally had a story about how the thing is happening,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would. Who knows, maybe Goosen's trying to
Speaker 1: get some sort of I mean, he's got enough money
Speaker 1: he go live anywhere. Especially as as an athlete in
Speaker 1: a in a major sport, it's usually pretty good, pretty
Speaker 1: easy to get papers. So but uh, anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: seven twenty thank you for the Weeger discussion. To appreciate
Speaker 1: that seven twenty one. Actually, let's take a break, be
Speaker 1: right back. All right. So I didn't know about this
Speaker 1: because I don't do the Fortnite. Well Ross, you don't
Speaker 1: play Fortnite either, but Ross pays attention to video game.
Speaker 1: So so apparently in Fortnite, it's new season in the
Speaker 1: Battle Royale game that you're pretty sure your kid's addicted to.
Speaker 1: You can there's do you play as Darth Vader or
Speaker 1: is he just a character that you interact with? That's
Speaker 1: what I'm a little That's what I'm trying to know.
Speaker 2: He's in the game like it's like an enemy as
Speaker 2: an enemy.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. So so anyway, so they they have
Speaker 1: an AI Darth Vader, and like everything else with AI
Speaker 1: that is that you can interact with, people have already
Speaker 1: figured out how to manipulate it into saying some pretty
Speaker 1: insane stuff. I think Microsoft's AI chatbot where within sixteen
Speaker 1: hours they had it tossing racial slurs and denying the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: All right, so they figured out how to manipulate this thing.
Speaker 1: So Epic Games is having a hot fix this thing
Speaker 1: because it keeps saying stuff.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: In fact, and the oh the articles Star Wars new
Speaker 1: AI Darth Vader under fire for racial slurs. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have not. I'm not super familiar with.
Speaker 2: I know, so I guess you approach like the character
Speaker 2: in the game and it'll react to what you say.
Speaker 2: And it just started like dropping like racial slurs, and
Speaker 2: it just do we think isn't racist?
Speaker 1: I have a question the doodle. The doodle eliminate a
Speaker 1: planet full of people. That's pretty bad. He'll Kevin Bunch.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if I'm pretty sure he's going
Speaker 2: to violate Fortnite's ts.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, no, I'm again. I'm not justifying it.
Speaker 1: I'm just like it's Darth Vader Man, like he's going
Speaker 1: to have some trouble. He takes on stuff and then
Speaker 1: like a lawsuit broke out from sag Aftra because it's AI.
Speaker 1: But it's an AI character, so it's formulating statements even
Speaker 1: if some of them.
Speaker 2: Are trouble, I mean, because it sounds just like James
Speaker 2: Earl Jones. Sure yeah, and they're like, well, you're stealing
Speaker 2: his likeness, so you know, and he's dead so it's
Speaker 2: not cool. But like the family, I guess if James
Speaker 2: Earl Jones said no, it's fine, he would have been
Speaker 2: cool with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. According to even this article that's really mad at
Speaker 1: the game James Earl Jones's family is part of, says
Speaker 1: that there is a collaboration between themselves and Epic Games. So,
Speaker 1: I I is that ink on paper? Are they getting
Speaker 1: paid for it? I mean, it's fine if they are.
Speaker 1: So if the family who controls the rights to James
Speaker 1: Earl Jones has struck a deal with the game, who's
Speaker 1: then using the voice even in this render fashion? Why
Speaker 1: why are they suing? That's what I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: what I was trying to figure out in this story here.
Speaker 1: I understand people are but hurt over this, but it's
Speaker 1: also not real. So there's that which you know, should
Speaker 1: always be added into these conversations. That Fortnite's actually in
Speaker 1: the news quite a bit. I guess. Now they're back
Speaker 1: in the app store and they haven't been because they
Speaker 1: decided to really take on the behemoth that is Apple
Speaker 1: just due to, you know, due to the amount of
Speaker 1: money that Apple gets for apps in their in their
Speaker 1: app store, and Fortnite obviously has a lot of in
Speaker 1: app purchases and what is it Apple takes like what
Speaker 1: a third or something? It's pretty crazy number. But now
Speaker 1: they're back in via court order, so we'll try to
Speaker 1: make sense of all of it. We'll do that with
Speaker 1: our NERD correspondent coming up here at eight o five,
Speaker 1: Stephen Kent. He'll join us, all right, So Jake Tapper
Speaker 1: continuing to make the rounds, make the rounds, and was
Speaker 1: talking about who was actually running things there. This is
Speaker 1: with Katie Kurk, who's still interviewing people. And this is
Speaker 1: a pretty terrifying scenario. Although I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: all in on it.
Speaker 5: So Church make a factor. Was the Hunter stuff?
Speaker 14: I think it was considerable. I think Hunter was driving
Speaker 14: the decision making for the family in a way that
Speaker 14: people he was almost like a chief of staff of
Speaker 14: the FANI.
Speaker 5: Does that strike you as pretty bizarre?
Speaker 14: It's bizarre because I think he is provably demonstrably unethical, sleazy,
Speaker 14: and prone to horrible decisions.
Speaker 5: I mean, tell me how you really feel well, I mean.
Speaker 14: I just just look at the record. I mean, after
Speaker 14: his brother died, he cheated on his wife with his
Speaker 14: brother's widow and then got her addicted to crack. That's
Speaker 14: just one thing I could say. I mean there, I
Speaker 14: don't have a lot of personal regard for him and
Speaker 14: just based on having nothing to do with I barely
Speaker 14: have ever met him. I've met him like once or twice,
Speaker 14: but I knew bo Bo was a great upstanding guy.
Speaker 5: I knew him too.
Speaker 14: Really a real loss for the country too, not just
Speaker 14: for his family, for the country. But Hunter is not
Speaker 14: that and the idea of letting him drive the family
Speaker 14: car as it were, is just really really questionable.
Speaker 1: All right, So are you buying this because you know,
Speaker 1: we've you know, the question is who's kind of running things?
Speaker 1: Who was at the helmet. We saw the reports, especially
Speaker 1: towards the end of you know, really post election, but
Speaker 1: the end of the term there where it was they
Speaker 1: were like, remember the wife was coming to meetings, Jill
Speaker 1: was coming to meetings and like running meetings. And then
Speaker 1: there was other reports that Hunter Biden's basically sitting there
Speaker 1: in the Oval office yay and ay and stuff. So
Speaker 1: I don't know the part where Hunter Biden might be
Speaker 1: the name you're looking for as to who was running
Speaker 1: things kind of terrifying, But also wouldn't things have been
Speaker 1: more fun? Maybe not fun in a way you wish
Speaker 1: to participate, But like if Hunter Biden's really in charge.
Speaker 1: I mean, got the the the presidential pardon going all
Speaker 1: the way back. Probably you know you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: have some influence there to get it done. If you
Speaker 1: honestly believe that Biden didn't have an intention and then
Speaker 1: changed his mind, then I guess it pays some credence
Speaker 1: to it. But like there was no executive order for
Speaker 1: a national topless day. I'm just trying to think what
Speaker 1: Hunter had come up with. Man, it'd be salacious. I
Speaker 1: wanted to do a I wanted to do a contest
Speaker 1: or a little bit of a bit. And I was
Speaker 1: thinking about this the other day, but we're kind of
Speaker 1: far removed now from the Hunter Biden laptop. I wanted
Speaker 1: to find salacious facts that Hunter was accused of doing,
Speaker 1: and then salacious facts from the Diddy trial and then
Speaker 1: make you, guys, guess who the pervert is. And I
Speaker 1: just like did a cursory dig into this yesterday and
Speaker 1: I realized it's a lot harder than you think, and
Speaker 1: a lot of it I couldn't even read on the air,
Speaker 1: if you want to get into the good stuff. So
Speaker 1: the idea that he might have been handling policy in
Speaker 1: the White house, holy hell man. But also tappers try
Speaker 1: to sell a book and this is part of the book.
Speaker 1: So and his credibility is absolute garbage, So take it
Speaker 1: with a grain of salt if you will. An Australian
Speaker 1: woman allegedly lit her friend on fire because he made
Speaker 1: massagistic remarks at a party. Oh lord all right. Twenty
Speaker 1: four year old Corby Corby is her name. Walpole is
Speaker 1: accused of setting twenty three year old Jake Loader on
Speaker 1: fire because she said she felt overwhelmed with his misognistic
Speaker 1: and sexist remarks during a house party in New South Wales.
Speaker 1: This's happened in Australia. Loader told Walpole at one point
Speaker 1: that she should quote go back to the kitchen and
Speaker 1: make him some scones that she couldn't handle drinking with
Speaker 1: the boys, which sent the twenty four year old into rage,
Speaker 1: and then she lit him on fire. Well you proved
Speaker 1: his point, man, a little bit, Like clearly you can cook,
Speaker 1: or at least you know how to build a flame
Speaker 1: to do so, because you did it on this dude.
Speaker 1: According to authority, she grabbed a gallon of gasoline from
Speaker 1: the garage, doused him, and then waved a lighter at him.
Speaker 1: Did she say something you got to have, like you
Speaker 1: gotta have like a action movie catchphrase. There now who's cooking? Right?
Speaker 1: But she put it he was in a medically induced coma,
Speaker 1: like she was not screwing around. He spent almost three
Speaker 1: months in a burn unit. Just awful. She said that
Speaker 1: she had been overcome by drugs alcohol and did not
Speaker 1: like the tenor of the conversation. I'm sorry, you don't
Speaker 1: get to light somebody on the fire for man's plaining?
Speaker 1: Do we have to make a rule? Also? I think
Speaker 1: that's funny that in other countries the joke is telling
Speaker 1: women to go to the kitchen to make different varieties
Speaker 1: of food. You know, in the US, it's always the
Speaker 1: sandwich joke, right, why don't you make me a sandwich? Right?
Speaker 1: But not in Australia you tell him to go make scones.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if it's different every country you go to,
Speaker 1: like in Mexico is a fresh massa made tortillas. I
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that. I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: if I want to be a misogynistic pig in different countries,
Speaker 1: I'm just curious what food I have to go with?
Speaker 1: So in Australia Scones in the US at Sandwich. There
Speaker 1: you go, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seven four Who I forget? Who's in for
Speaker 1: Ray today? I usually write this down? Yeah, not there?
Speaker 1: Who is it? Do we know? All right? Off, all right,
Speaker 1: let me find Ray's email here? All right, Well, hopefully
Speaker 1: hopefully connects here pretty quick to do do do do? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I got the right name here. Ah,
Speaker 1: here we go, Ray only working? Uh No, it's ken
Speaker 1: boone today. That's who we're looking for. All right, I'll
Speaker 1: give him about another minute. Are we having Is it
Speaker 1: a Comrex issue? Because Fred's no, that's next week. All right. Sorry,
Speaker 1: A little behind the scenes there just reminded me of
Speaker 1: uh all right, oh yes, this so uh. Defense Secretary
Speaker 1: Peter Hegseth announced yesterday that the seven forty seven eight
Speaker 1: jumbo jet from Qatar's royal family has been officially accepted
Speaker 1: and is now in the process of getting prepped to
Speaker 1: be used as Air Force one. I'm curious how long
Speaker 1: these upgrades are gonna take though, Like a lot of
Speaker 1: people were suggesting, this thing is gonna be fast, and
Speaker 1: I like the amount of the amount of like adjustments
Speaker 1: that they have to make to this thing is roughly
Speaker 1: equal to the price of the plane. So something tells
Speaker 1: me that's gonna be. That's gonna be going for a while.
Speaker 1: But keep in mind the current Air Force ones are
Speaker 1: forty years old, so even if they take a year
Speaker 1: to put this thing together, it'll be much newer. But
Speaker 1: it is officially hours now. All right, still not there?
Speaker 1: All right, great, let me do this. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. Oh no, he's calling in there ross
Speaker 1: all right, so maybe we are having some sort of
Speaker 1: com Rex issue calling in on the hotline there, dude
Speaker 1: to do? All right, we'll do it by phone if
Speaker 1: we need to. I don't know what the issue is.
Speaker 1: Uh oh point, all right, hold on, maybe we'll go
Speaker 1: back to that story. Let me grab ken boone from
Speaker 1: the weather channel. We break our toy. What's going on? Man,
Speaker 1: it's always something, always something. How are you doing, ken
Speaker 1: I'm doing good?
Speaker 3: How about yourself?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good? I was predominantly. Oh there must be
Speaker 1: a Comrex issue if he's not there, So all right,
Speaker 1: phone works. Let's do this, and you know, ray leaves
Speaker 1: and then the weather improves.
Speaker 3: I like this you're right.
Speaker 12: You're right.
Speaker 3: We've got some pretty nice weather here for a few
Speaker 3: days at least, looks like through Sunday, Sunday night into
Speaker 3: Memorial Day we do see the rain chances start to
Speaker 3: increase a bit. But until then, I think we're gonna
Speaker 3: be dealing with lots of sunshine, and actually we're gonna
Speaker 3: cool off a little bit into the upcoming weekend itself,
Speaker 3: but warm out there today and breezy sunny skies. We're
Speaker 3: into the low part of the eighties, midle upper fifties tonight,
Speaker 3: mid seventies tomorrow with sunshine, upper seventies, with sunshine for
Speaker 3: Saturday and Sunday, and then, like I said, we do
Speaker 3: have a chance for some showers Sunday night into Memorial
Speaker 3: Day itself.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, Ken, I'm gonna three on hold. Ross wants
Speaker 1: to talk to you. I'm sure it's texto. Okay, hang
Speaker 1: loose there and he will be right back. Hang out.
Speaker 1: Good news. Apparently people are getting parrot chlamydia. So that's
Speaker 1: the thing. Parrot parrot like the bird chlamydia? How does
Speaker 1: one acquire that? And I'd be very curious to hear
Speaker 1: what words your parrot knows? I gotta be honest with you, bro.
Speaker 1: A twenty six year old man arrived at a hospital
Speaker 1: suffering from a cough that he said had lasted six
Speaker 1: days in a persistent high fever. And so they went
Speaker 1: through all the rigaman row from COVID, pneumonia, you name it.
Speaker 1: And then they figured out he had parrot chlamydia, which
Speaker 1: I didn't know was a thing. Now he doesn't have
Speaker 1: any parrots, by the way, but he does have pigeons,
Speaker 1: and so pretty much any bird will give it to you.
Speaker 1: I just want to know how you get it. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming if it's respiratory, you're just breathing in probably feces
Speaker 1: or something like that, but I don't know. Man, all
Speaker 1: chlamydia you get the STD thing in your head. Who knows,
Speaker 1: who knows, But apparently that's the thing you gotta watch
Speaker 1: out for if you have birds. I wish I was
Speaker 1: unaware of, but now we all know. All right, let
Speaker 1: me grab this story just because this thing is crazy. Man,
Speaker 1: This is why you don't help people move right here,
Speaker 1: But also maybe you should mind your business. So a
Speaker 1: man in Houston whose neighbor asked him to move Basically,
Speaker 1: he just needed help, he said, with a few pieces
Speaker 1: of furniture and some quote heavy boxes made a frightening discovery.
Speaker 1: So Houston or Harris County. So again, Houston sheriff ed
Speaker 1: Gonzalez that authorities arrested Stephen Everley in connection to the incident,
Speaker 1: which happened last week. They say the thirty six year
Speaker 1: old had invited his neighbor to help move some furniture. However,
Speaker 1: when the two went to grab a heavy box and
Speaker 1: the driveway, his neighbor couldn't figure out why the damn
Speaker 1: thing was so heavy, so as Everly went to go
Speaker 1: grab something else, the neighbor peered inside the box and
Speaker 1: it was a body. That's right, So he's moving furniture,
Speaker 1: he's moving out of the house, and he's got the
Speaker 1: big heavy box with a body in it. And the
Speaker 1: dude looked inside. Now here's the thing. If people ask
Speaker 1: you to move, I don't know, that's invitation to look
Speaker 1: inside their boxes. There's that. But also he didn't have
Speaker 1: the thing sealed up or nothing. The guy said, basically,
Speaker 1: the lid was open. He just kind of flipped it open. Ummm,
Speaker 1: let's see. The medical examiner identified the individual as a
Speaker 1: man by the name of Luis Mendez a contractor. I
Speaker 1: guess maybe he had done some work for this guy,
Speaker 1: owed him some money, and the guy just killed him.
Speaker 1: I think that's the theory they're working on. But yeah,
Speaker 1: stabbed him multiple times. The wife of the victim said
Speaker 1: that her husband had been installing kitchen cabinets, however, had
Speaker 1: not returned from work several days prior. So yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. And again they're not They're not one hundred
Speaker 1: percent on the theory. There. This is why again, it's
Speaker 1: why you don't help people move man. Police say that
Speaker 1: when they arrived, they also noticed that the victims truck
Speaker 1: was still parked nearby, So this guy had done nothing
Speaker 1: and then he I think it's a neighbor to help move.
Speaker 1: Now does the neighbor still get pizza and beer? How
Speaker 1: does that work? And that was that's usually what gets promised.
Speaker 1: H So we charged with murder, tampering with evidence, attempting
Speaker 1: to take an officer's weapon because when police showed up,
Speaker 1: he did not go quietly. Is that stephen on uh
Speaker 1: on ten? It says director critic. I don't know should
Speaker 1: I answer that?
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, if you do show some respect because
Speaker 2: the man has I mean, you should be concerned.
Speaker 1: You know what he doesn't have?
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 1: A thou like a thousand bucks anymore? Or whatever? What
Speaker 1: is it? Cosplay is expensive? Right? This is why I
Speaker 1: don't do it?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean good cosplay is expensive. Yes, okay, that's.
Speaker 1: A If you guys are following us on Twitter, and
Speaker 1: you should at Casey on the radio, you're gonna see
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. All right. So Stephen Kent is
Speaker 1: dressed up for Halloween and this photos. So what's going on?
Speaker 1: Director Krenick.
Speaker 12: We spend here amidst my achievements, not yours, and niche
Speaker 12: Star Wars references that only we will understand.
Speaker 1: What a weird character to lean into. How'd you choose him?
Speaker 12: He's so cool? Man Ben Mendelssohn is such a great
Speaker 12: actor and first Imperial officer to ever strut out into
Speaker 12: Star Wars wearing a cape. You know, big cape guy?
Speaker 12: Are you not a cape guy?
Speaker 1: What do you mean for your Vader's got to?
Speaker 12: Yeah? Yeah, yeahh But we're talking about the bureaucrats. We're
Speaker 12: talking about the pencil pushers here, the guys who actually
Speaker 12: make things happen, Imperial officers.
Speaker 1: My friend An imperial officer with a cape. Is that
Speaker 1: a cape?
Speaker 12: Of course? Of course I'm wearing a cape. I have
Speaker 12: a cape in every room of my house, Casey, you
Speaker 12: swap them out based on your needs. There's the kitchen cape,
Speaker 12: there's the bedroom cape, there's the office cape. What kind
Speaker 12: of cape do you have?
Speaker 1: How much of your family's future financial planning did you
Speaker 1: sacrifice for this thing?
Speaker 12: I invested at least three hundred dollars in bitcoin in
Speaker 12: the cape for my costume. It's very important.
Speaker 1: Just a cape. Three indred bucks for a cape.
Speaker 12: If you want it made right. The problem, Casey, is
Speaker 12: that you have to get these capes and these costume
Speaker 12: pieces when you're doing cosplay for Star Wars, made to
Speaker 12: a certain standard so that you can maybe one day
Speaker 12: join the costuming clubs. So if you've ever been to
Speaker 12: a comic con, you're probably familiar with the Star Wars
Speaker 12: costumers and Stormtrooper gear. They're called the five oh first
Speaker 12: and they have standards you have to meet. Your boots
Speaker 12: have to be like a certain height down to the inch,
Speaker 12: your tunic has to be trimmed a certain way, and
Speaker 12: your cape has to be legit. And so I got
Speaker 12: my cape overseas from an overseas seamstress at a company
Speaker 12: called a Novo, and it cost me like two hundred
Speaker 12: and fifty three hundred dollars. Several years ago.
Speaker 3: I was just.
Speaker 12: Telling Ross that then that company went under, they went bankrupt,
Speaker 12: and the order was basically lost for three years until
Speaker 12: they were bought. The company was bought out of bankruptcy
Speaker 12: by somebody else, and then they fulfilled my order. And
Speaker 12: so one day I just went out to my mailbox
Speaker 12: and had a cape, and I.
Speaker 13: Was very happy.
Speaker 1: Is this performal you wear to weddings? I mean.
Speaker 12: Yes, absolutely, And according to and Or director Crinic and
Speaker 12: imperial officers would wear a black sash to things like
Speaker 12: weddings and receptions, So I might need to get one
Speaker 12: of those as well.
Speaker 1: Ross, do you have any capes? I'm just gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta tell. It's my nerd litmus test here. How many
Speaker 1: capes do you own? Steven's like, oh, he's got a
Speaker 1: cape for every cage. Do you own any capes?
Speaker 2: Ownes?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, well you hate to see that, all right?
Speaker 1: So is capeless man?
Speaker 12: Is he even a real man? You know?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. He's got a samurai sword within
Speaker 1: a few feet of him, so I don't know that
Speaker 1: i'd question him.
Speaker 12: All right, masculinity is making a comeback.
Speaker 1: Got it? I'm is it not? Judging by this photo.
Speaker 12: I wrote it, Masculinity.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to figure out the look on your
Speaker 1: face too? Are you up to no good? Did you
Speaker 1: just hear dark or Deny the Holocaust in Fortnite? I mean,
Speaker 1: let's start there and we'll actually, no, let's do the
Speaker 1: and Or thing and then we'll pivot over to that insanity.
Speaker 1: So the latest season of and Or is done. Now
Speaker 1: I can watch it. I always waiting that I binge it.
Speaker 1: And you're saying I'll be pleasant. I'll be very happy
Speaker 1: when I watch it. In its totality, Rossing's pretty pumped.
Speaker 1: So what's your final verdict there?
Speaker 12: Yeah, final verdict is this is the kind of Star
Speaker 12: Wars program that I think anybody can watch and not
Speaker 12: have any sort of background knowledge or understanding about Star
Speaker 12: Wars and feel like they can enjoy this show. You know,
Speaker 12: it is high quality, top not stuff, and it is
Speaker 12: made for anybody to watch it. I think that's one
Speaker 12: of the things that Tony Gilroy said about this production
Speaker 12: was that he didn't want people to be stuck in
Speaker 12: the deep lore of Star Wars. Instead, he just wanted
Speaker 12: folks to enjoy the story of a rebellion against an empire, which,
Speaker 12: go figure, that's what the original Star Wars in nineteen
Speaker 12: seventy seven was about, no backstory, and that's the way to.
Speaker 1: Do it now. And right on the heels of that,
Speaker 1: I saw that Netflix has canceled Zack Snyder's follow up
Speaker 1: to Rebel Moon. Did you get into at all?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 12: I didn't. I read the reviews and I was like, oh, like,
Speaker 12: this was like a Star Wars, you know, wanna be
Speaker 12: kind of thing, and I took offense at its very
Speaker 12: existence and didn't give it a try.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, But does that mean that Zack Snyder
Speaker 1: is just like we're just done with him, because like
Speaker 1: he's had it, he's let's just say, given some money away.
Speaker 12: I guess, man, I just I just don't consider Zach
Speaker 12: Snyder to be a serious person. I maybe I'm just
Speaker 12: like really holding a lot of the DC stuff against him.
Speaker 12: I know that he did three hundred really cool Spartan movie.
Speaker 12: I know he did The Watchman, But I just think
Speaker 12: his work in DC was so bad. If someone says
Speaker 12: it's a Zack Snyder production, I don't exactly rush to
Speaker 12: go watch it.
Speaker 1: Did you watch the full Zack Snyder version of the
Speaker 1: Collective The Batman Superman?
Speaker 12: I know you'll have to take away you'll have to
Speaker 12: take away my Nerd correspondent card, but no, I did
Speaker 12: not get into this hole Zack Snyder cut thing.
Speaker 1: So I did not go watch that a half hours. Man.
Speaker 1: I turn it on one day and it just kind
Speaker 1: was in the background. So I don't know what, like.
Speaker 12: The Passion of the Christ for Batman.
Speaker 1: It was something, man, I'm like, and I couldn't even
Speaker 1: tell you what the difference between the actual two hour
Speaker 1: cut and that was. But it just kept it, kept
Speaker 1: trying to force feed it to me on HBO Max
Speaker 1: or whatever, and I finally pulled the trigger and it
Speaker 1: was not good. All right, So ma'am.
Speaker 12: That's what long movies are all about. Though, Like when
Speaker 12: you get a really really long movie and it's clearly
Speaker 12: in need of editing, you realize why movies get cut
Speaker 12: around two hours, because you just don't need all that
Speaker 12: extra fluff.
Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, let's let's go get over. Speaking of Fortnite,
Speaker 1: let's get into this. There's two things. One, Fortnite is
Speaker 1: back in the App Store, and if people aren't aware,
Speaker 1: Fortnite kind of decided they were going to take on Apple.
Speaker 1: I'm not happy with the amount the cut that Apple
Speaker 1: gets and some of the control issues, and as a result,
Speaker 1: they were pulled off the app store and they've been
Speaker 1: in lawsuit city. Finally a judge said you got to
Speaker 1: put them back on there. I did Fortnite win with this?
Speaker 1: Did Apple? Because it sounds like Apple is still undefeated
Speaker 1: on this front. They're just going to do whatever they want.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not prepared to weigh and on the legal
Speaker 12: aspect of what's going on between Fortnite and Apple. It
Speaker 12: is an ongoing saga with Epic Games and it's just
Speaker 12: a total total mess. There have been some concerns about
Speaker 12: the way that Apple runs its app store and whether
Speaker 12: or not they take too much off the top for
Speaker 12: companies like Epic Games to have their products on there
Speaker 12: and then also sell, you know, things within the app.
Speaker 12: You know, there's there's some rules that are basically forbidding
Speaker 12: them from having in game app or in game purchases
Speaker 12: on Fortnite, and that's something that Epic has contested for
Speaker 12: a long time, and I think it's still to be
Speaker 12: determined what's going to happen there. But they've managed to
Speaker 12: get themselves back in the news for something a little
Speaker 12: bit a little bit more funny but also still a
Speaker 12: very niche intellectual property and copyright law issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and I'm gonna get to that here in
Speaker 1: here's the thing I think mobile gaming sucks, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll just yeah totally. I I don't want to have
Speaker 1: to get some pay to win thing, which is all
Speaker 1: the models. Everything's in app purchase. Occasionally there'll be a
Speaker 1: game that comes out, like The Room, which is a
Speaker 1: puzzle game. They keep putting out iterations you pay five
Speaker 1: dollars once you own it. That's how we used to
Speaker 1: do things. And like, I don't even go in the
Speaker 1: app store anymore for on the game side. Man, Like
Speaker 1: it's just so depressing because everything's the same model where
Speaker 1: they're going to extract the amount of money people will pay.
Speaker 1: You know, you see these kids that ran ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars up on their parents' credit card over these games,
Speaker 1: and I feel like there's never going to be an
Speaker 1: incentive to get back to how the first games were
Speaker 1: we pay for the game and then you known the
Speaker 1: game and maybe they'd update, maybe they wouldn't. But we're
Speaker 1: never going there again. There's too much money.
Speaker 12: No, I don't think we're going there again. And you know,
Speaker 12: the quality at which you know these games are produced,
Speaker 12: they are, you know, heads and tails above what they
Speaker 12: used to be, just in terms of how they look,
Speaker 12: what they can do the functionality of mobile games these days.
Speaker 12: And it's part of cost control. I mean, these companies
Speaker 12: develop these games. They are in fact quite expensive, but
Speaker 12: they're incomplete products. They publish them as games that can
Speaker 12: be edited and then you know, updated with patches over time,
Speaker 12: and they do that to save money, to make money.
Speaker 12: It's just it's sort of a system that I think
Speaker 12: gamers have become very disillusioned with. We we own nothing
Speaker 12: and are supposed to be happy about it.
Speaker 1: You know, there are some games too, and I'd have
Speaker 1: to look on my phone, but games right and bought
Speaker 1: them and now after several updates, they have in that
Speaker 1: purchases and they're turned into play to win and it's
Speaker 1: like I already paid for them and then you updated
Speaker 1: it to ruin the game, Like I'm surprised there's not
Speaker 1: more lawsuits on this stuff. But since we're talking lawsuits,
Speaker 1: let's get over the other thing you want to talk about.
Speaker 1: So Epic Games has and according to the articles I'm reading,
Speaker 1: they have a deal with the family of James Earl Jones.
Speaker 1: They have some sort of they have some sort of
Speaker 1: agreement or understanding. So what happened is now Darth Vader
Speaker 1: is a character in Fortnite, not one that you play,
Speaker 1: I guess, but one you can interact with, and like
Speaker 1: everything else, once people figure out that it's AI based,
Speaker 1: they can interact with it. The first thing they want
Speaker 1: to do is figure out how to manipulate it, just
Speaker 1: like they did with the MSNBC AI that they got
Speaker 1: screaming the n work in sixteen hours and they have
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna play stuff that we can play. Here's
Speaker 1: Darth Vader. You know, he's a little snark, a little
Speaker 1: snark going on. It's clearly James Earl Jones' waste, or
Speaker 1: at least an AI version of it, and you know
Speaker 1: people are interacting with it. It seems very very popular, a.
Speaker 15: Useful tongue for smugglers and spice traders. Its strategic value
Speaker 15: is mini very well say.
Speaker 1: A talk to uh can you raise me up?
Speaker 15: If RIZ equates to mastery of the force, apprentice, then
Speaker 15: my RIZ is unquestionable or a farm? Are you suggesting?
Speaker 15: I concern myself with trivial esthetics?
Speaker 1: Mommy?
Speaker 15: As MR explain this phenomenon.
Speaker 1: All right, and that's the clean stuff. That's what I
Speaker 1: could play. And I wouldn't vadere to have some serious
Speaker 1: RIZ if you can essentially mind right, oh my god too.
Speaker 1: But the problem is is it didn't stop them, and
Speaker 1: so yeah, then they got Vader to say a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff that I can't err on the radio, uh
Speaker 1: sag after which is uh uh television movies and also
Speaker 1: radio as a sag after can. But essentially they're the
Speaker 1: they're the union for actors. They're upset with this, but
Speaker 1: I think they're upset because voice actors are upset. But
Speaker 1: then they reclaiming, yeah, they didn't they're ruining the memory
Speaker 1: of James Earl Jones. But then the family weighed in.
Speaker 1: They're like, he'd probably loved this damn thing. So mm hmm,
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on with this thing?
Speaker 12: Yeah, this is a this is a fascinating case. And again,
Speaker 12: like copyright law and uh an ip is is a
Speaker 12: very niche policy area, and there are a lot of
Speaker 12: concerns out there about ways in which AI are going
Speaker 12: to be able to recreate, you know, iconic characters and utilize,
Speaker 12: you know, like chat GBT is able to pump out
Speaker 12: Studio ghibli stuff just by studying the artwork of Miyazaki
Speaker 12: over in Japan. But this is sort of a different issue,
Speaker 12: which is that the Darth Vader voice actor James Earl
Speaker 12: Jones his estate, his family cleared fortnite to study and
Speaker 12: recreate his voice using AI. And it's not just his voice,
Speaker 12: it's quote his iconic rhythm and tone. It's the way
Speaker 12: in which Darth Vader speaks that the AI was also
Speaker 12: able to recreate. And the drama begins with the Screen
Speaker 12: Actors Guild. And I think this is funny because I
Speaker 12: really hate unions. I really don't like the way that
Speaker 12: they carry themselves. They come in and they sue that
Speaker 12: this stole work away from their members. It's like me
Speaker 12: having AI do a read of one of my articles
Speaker 12: that I write for The Washington Examiner and then Ross
Speaker 12: suing me for stealing potential work from him, as if
Speaker 12: I was ever going to consider having him read the
Speaker 12: article as.
Speaker 1: A voice over, like Ross voiceover.
Speaker 12: Maybe maybe he can, Maybe he can, But who's to
Speaker 12: say I can do it for nothing with the AI?
Speaker 12: And that's what this is all about. They're concerned about
Speaker 12: their voice actors in the guild being put out of work.
Speaker 12: And listen, I get it. We want humans to have jobs,
Speaker 12: we want humans to do certain things. But when you're
Speaker 12: talking about Darth Vader's voice and rhythm and if you
Speaker 12: can have an AI do it, why not? And who
Speaker 12: are you to sue and say you can't do it
Speaker 12: because you stole work from hypothetical people?
Speaker 1: Well? How far does it go? Did you see the
Speaker 1: story down in Australia where they had this woman who
Speaker 1: does an afternoon show on a music station, so you know,
Speaker 1: just cuts in three or four times an hour, that
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and is very popular and so people
Speaker 1: were like, how come she never has meet and greets?
Speaker 1: What's going on? And one of the radio companies down
Speaker 1: there admitted she's AI, which some people around the building talking,
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, like how far do we go
Speaker 1: with this? I'm glad I do talk radio, but how
Speaker 1: long before they can do talk radio too?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's a valid question. All of us
Speaker 12: are concerned, especially if we're in the information economy and
Speaker 12: we're paid for our words, our thoughts are ability to
Speaker 12: speak and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But we could be.
Speaker 12: Put out of work by AI one day, and it's
Speaker 12: quite possible that we could, or at least, you know,
Speaker 12: we could be impersonated in many ways. But you know,
Speaker 12: coming in here with a labor lawsuit is different than
Speaker 12: an ethical debate, and I think that we're going to
Speaker 12: have to have some really serious debates in Congress possibly,
Speaker 12: you know, actually, you know, with our representatives to talk
Speaker 12: about what we want from the ethics of AI as
Speaker 12: they unfold. But I'm not very sympathetic to hypothetical labor
Speaker 12: based lawsuits that says you can't sign a private agreement
Speaker 12: with the estate of James Earl Jones for his voice
Speaker 12: and rhythm and likeness and steal work from a hypothetical
Speaker 12: voice actor that may or may not have ever been
Speaker 12: good enough to mimic Darth Vader perfectly. I just think
Speaker 12: that there are some things here that are not necessarily
Speaker 12: about ethics. It's just about what is right business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, we're not gonna get to the
Speaker 1: other things. I got about five seconds, but Steve and
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Enjoy your your cosplay outfit. We'll talk
Speaker 1: next week.
Speaker 13: And I always do it.
Speaker 1: You got something, buddy. So anytime there's a busted semi
Speaker 1: truck spilling its load everywhere, we're always interested to see
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, all right, So this happened just
Speaker 1: up across the state line in Franklin, Virginia, which is
Speaker 1: I guess if you're if you're taking that cutoff, well, no,
Speaker 1: because you do thirteen. But it's literally just across the border,
Speaker 1: like you're going towards Norfolk. Right. It's forty four pounds
Speaker 1: of ham.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's amazing with a haul, dude, you gonna share
Speaker 2: some of that or I mean possibly.
Speaker 1: You don't even forty four pounds of ham if we
Speaker 1: have any leftover, what are you gonna do with forty
Speaker 1: four pounds of hamad.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of protein, it is.
Speaker 1: It would be a lot of protein. All right, hold on,
Speaker 1: let me get the deats here. Yeah, a multi vehicle
Speaker 1: crash overnight in Isle of White County. Is that really
Speaker 1: the name of the county up there? I had no idea. Okay, Oh, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's the county before you get to Norfolk. Okay,
Speaker 1: there you go. According to officials, troopers were dispatched after
Speaker 1: reports of a multi vehicle crash where a two thousand
Speaker 1: gmc Sonoma was oh good, driving without his headlights on,
Speaker 1: going the wrong way. Oh lord, listen to this. So
Speaker 1: a two thousand gmc Sonomas driving southbound with no headlights on,
Speaker 1: struck an off dude or an on duty deputy driving
Speaker 1: an unmarked Ford Explorer. And then a twenty twenty freight
Speaker 1: liner tractor trailer this should be the truck with the ham,
Speaker 1: I guess, came over a rise where the accident had happened.
Speaker 1: It ran into the ditch, overturned on its side, spilling
Speaker 1: its load of forty four pounds of ham at the
Speaker 1: time of the crab. Well, there's free ham, free ham, everybody.
Speaker 1: You're in southern Virginia.
Speaker 2: There, all right?
Speaker 1: It looks like all right, so good. Nobody was seriously injured,
Speaker 1: though the guy would know headlights probably in a world
Speaker 1: it hurt. Oh yeah, look at all that ham there.
Speaker 1: This is a lot better than the truck trap yesterday.
Speaker 1: I noticed you didn't want that one. Do you see
Speaker 1: what was in the truck yesterday that had problems.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, I did.
Speaker 1: You want that one too, I mean the coming I
Speaker 1: could weaponize it. It was a truckload of bees. And
Speaker 1: in fact there was a problem because the truck ended,
Speaker 1: it was not mobile anymore, and the bees were getting irritated.
Speaker 1: So they had the fire truck had to come and
Speaker 1: like hose down the bees to keep them cool. Because
Speaker 1: that's the last thing you want is a truck full
Speaker 1: of of bees. Uh, with a vendetta of some sort.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm just warring. What kind is it? Good? Hand? Well,
Speaker 1: you know Virginia, Virginia loves their ham. Probably pretty good stuff.
Speaker 1: I was seeing if there was a brand name. I
Speaker 1: don't see one here. What do you do with all
Speaker 1: that ham? So just I guess it all goes to waste?
Speaker 1: That's too bad? All right, couple other things here now
Speaker 1: I want now, I want I want some of the
Speaker 1: country ham from waffle House. Man. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I'm craving that right now, but that sounds delicious, all right?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 1: And then let me go back to we kind of
Speaker 1: opened the show with this this story in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Which I would warn you I would caution, you don't
Speaker 1: rush to judgment. The very first thing I saw this
Speaker 1: morning when I woke up and was digging through the
Speaker 1: Twitter was AOC warning me not to rush to judgment here.
Speaker 1: So we'll have to operate. We don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on because we're not rushing
Speaker 1: to judgment. Here's what we do know. So yesterday evening
Speaker 1: at an event was for the American Jewish Committee's Young
Speaker 1: Diplomat's reception. So this is at the Jewish Museum up there,
Speaker 1: and authority say a thirty one year old man decided
Speaker 1: that he wanted to go in there and shoot some people.
Speaker 1: After brandishing a firearm to a group of four people
Speaker 1: moments later, moments later, two people were shot and killed
Speaker 1: as a young couple. I guess the dude had already
Speaker 1: bought a ring, was going to be proposing tour coming
Speaker 1: up in Jerusalem, had it all planned out, and this
Speaker 1: dude bust in and while screaming free, free Palestine, Free
Speaker 1: free Palestine, decided he was going to kill a couple
Speaker 1: Jewish people. And again, I'm not allowed to rush to judgment.
Speaker 1: That's what I was told. We may never know his motive.
Speaker 1: Police say he was eventual. Now, initially after the shooting,
Speaker 1: he actually came out and people thought he was one
Speaker 1: of the victims, so they started rendering aid to him,
Speaker 1: giving him some water. Hey buddy, are you okay? What's
Speaker 1: going on? However, once police got there, which was in
Speaker 1: pretty short order, they quickly put it together, took this
Speaker 1: dude into custody, and the whole time he's screaming free,
Speaker 1: free Palestine. And he also removed one of those red
Speaker 1: one of the red version of the Hamas headscarf things
Speaker 1: and started waving that around. The whole day is going
Speaker 1: to be people pretending like they have nothing to do
Speaker 1: with this. I just want to be clear and telling
Speaker 1: us not to rush to judgment. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: wait for the facts to come in, which is look,
Speaker 1: I will I tell you that is how we operate here.
Speaker 1: But I'm also going to give you the facts of
Speaker 1: the story here, and I think I might know what's
Speaker 1: up here. I'm going to go out on a limb.
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw caution to the wind. I'm going
Speaker 1: to ignore AOC's advice because obviously she's who should be
Speaker 1: giving advice here, and I'm going to say, this dude
Speaker 1: might have a problem with Jewish people, and he might
Speaker 1: be one of these Palestine protester lunaticians. He's thirty one.
Speaker 1: Dude's thirty one, so it'll be interesting to learn more,
Speaker 1: not that we would, of course rush to judgment. Also,
Speaker 1: at the time he was taken into custody, the suspect
Speaker 1: told police, quote, I am unarmed and I committed the
Speaker 1: shooting for Gaza. Quote I did this for Gaza, Free Palestine.
Speaker 1: There's only one solution into Fada revolution, which is very catchy.
Speaker 1: And he just kept yelling free Palestine. This is according
Speaker 1: to the woman who filmed the video, which is in
Speaker 1: the New York Post article which we tweeted out earlier,
Speaker 1: or we tweeted one of the articles out. Let's see
Speaker 1: is there any other things he yelled? All right, So
Speaker 1: that's what he yelled. He yelled free, free Palestine, over
Speaker 1: and over again. He had the hamas head wrap. He said, quote,
Speaker 1: I did this for Gaza. There's only one solution into
Speaker 1: foder revolution, so very limited evidence to go on there
Speaker 1: as to what may have been the motive. But we're
Speaker 1: being cautioned to wait and see and not rush your judgment.
Speaker 1: So go ahead and do that. You just know this
Speaker 1: dude's got some interesting online stuff, which they probably already
Speaker 1: you're digging into. I haven't checked back yet, so all right, again,
Speaker 1: it's a theory. It's just a working theory, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go and throw it out. I think this guy
Speaker 1: might hate Jewish people and Israel and is a weaponized
Speaker 1: lunatic who probably sees what's going on on the college campus.
Speaker 1: I know I'm speculating going on in these college campuses,
Speaker 1: and gets a little excited watching this stuff, probably sits
Speaker 1: in chat rooms, it rips down hostage photos, and all
Speaker 1: the while essentially looks to leadership in his own country.
Speaker 1: Is kind of like justification for this. What else are
Speaker 1: we supposed to think the defense of people that had
Speaker 1: their student visas revoked, who essentially came to this country
Speaker 1: to lead their own into faudas or at the very
Speaker 1: least to promote this stuff and then go to like
Speaker 1: Barstool Sports. Is you see the dude who went to
Speaker 1: the bar that Barstool Sports runs in Philadelphia and you
Speaker 1: can order a bottle if you order a bottle, like
Speaker 1: I don't understand this, by the way, culturally, this order
Speaker 1: a bottle thing at clubs now it just seems like
Speaker 1: the biggest waste of money. But they have like a
Speaker 1: little board where they put letters up and then you
Speaker 1: can you can put messages and he yeah, he did
Speaker 1: that and did a bunch of anti Semitic stuff on there, right,
Speaker 1: and everybody's laughing, everyone's having a good old time, like
Speaker 1: it's all pieces of this puzzle. So while sure we
Speaker 1: will not rush to judgment, I feel like I may
Speaker 1: have this one, Pegg, but it'll be interesting. I'm sure someone,
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Rupar somebody would be like, oh no,
Speaker 1: he's a Trump voter. Just wait for it, Just wait
Speaker 1: for it, all right. Ken Boone's here from the weather Channel.

Speaker 1: If yep, there you go. Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg News. Oh man,
Speaker 1: why is my home state trying to give Florida Runford's money?
Speaker 1: Going on here? All right? So check this out, So
Speaker 1: let's make sure I have the correct I was trying
Speaker 1: to see what the bar was there, all right, So
Speaker 1: Sublett County, Wyoming, which is it would be south of Jackson,
Speaker 1: so still up to the mountains. So anyway, a man
Speaker 1: in Wyoming is in trouble. So he's at a bar
Speaker 1: and he's drinking, and he's on a snowmobile. A lot
Speaker 1: of sublets, a lot of snowmobiling down there, and a
Speaker 1: lot of these bars. You ride snowmobile to a snowmobile.
Speaker 1: So he's in this bar, he has too many. He decides,
Speaker 1: all right, I got to take it home, jumps on
Speaker 1: his snowmobile, starts driving down the road to wherever he's staying.
Speaker 1: And while he's driving down the road, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: a wolf starts running alongside him. This is kind of unusual,
Speaker 1: although I told a story the other day countered wolf
Speaker 1: on an ATV so except he went a different route.
Speaker 1: So he started pacing the wolf on the snowmobile, and
Speaker 1: the wolf still and then he jumps off his snowmobile.
Speaker 1: Like he's a calf Like he's a calf calf rope
Speaker 1: or calf wrestler you see in that like you see
Speaker 1: in the rodeos man and he literally three loops and
Speaker 1: the hohoi and then he duct tapes the mouth of
Speaker 1: the wolf shut. He then brings it back to the
Speaker 1: bar to show off. So now in the state of Wyoming,
Speaker 1: they just figured out that that's not illegal, and so
Speaker 1: they're having a big debate as to maybe we should
Speaker 1: make that illegal. But that's such a Wyoming thing thinking
Speaker 1: this dude cold handed wrestled a wolf from a snowmobile,
Speaker 1: probably doing forty Wolves are fast, man, and now they
Speaker 1: got to figure out whether they're going to make that illegal.
Speaker 1: Good lord, it's always to see what's in my friend's
Speaker 1: timelines from growing up, man, and also if you need
Speaker 1: the a further view of where our society's headed. Obviously,
Speaker 1: by now you're probably sick of hearing about the only
Speaker 1: fans check who decided she was gonna hook up with
Speaker 1: a thousand dudes? Right who? By the way, I saw
Speaker 1: a video of her getting arrested and I think it's
Speaker 1: a stunt, but whatever. Something looked off about that. But
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about her because now other creators are
Speaker 1: trying to beat her record, which is awful, Which is awful.
Speaker 1: The problem is it's not going well. A what is
Speaker 1: this chick's name any night? I don't know who that is? Umm,
Speaker 1: oh she's Australian. Okay, well whatever. So she decided rather
Speaker 1: than doing all that in twelve hours, she was going
Speaker 1: to go for eight hours. The problem is she only
Speaker 1: made it up to five hundred and eighty three because
Speaker 1: apparently then she like dislocated her hip, which I'm not surprised,
Speaker 1: and suffered some other injuries and it is now having
Speaker 1: to be hospitalized. So this is this is why, this
Speaker 1: is why training is important, cardio is important, right, you
Speaker 1: can't just go into a record setting attempt without uh
Speaker 1: without this. And and now she's posting from the hospital there.
Speaker 1: That's great. And what horrified me in the article is
Speaker 1: she's like one of three who are trying to break
Speaker 1: the record. Now, so this is this is what the
Speaker 1: internet has rot man emphasis on that last word. I
Speaker 1: can't even describe some of these other injuries, but it's
Speaker 1: all the things you think. So that's that's all I
Speaker 1: want to hurt her. Dad thinks if they could find
Speaker 1: him because he's probably not around
