Speaker 1: So I am broadcasting this week from our Greensboro facility.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all over the place, man, because all week
Speaker 1: I'm here in Greensboro, come back to come back to
Speaker 1: Raleigh for one, and then I'm headed down to the
Speaker 1: coast to an event. Yes, I know, they just got
Speaker 1: a bunch of snow out there in the outer Banks.
Speaker 1: But we're going to be up in Beaufort. Well, I
Speaker 1: am ross Is ross Ain't coming but at the Beaufort
Speaker 1: Hotel because we have our big Bourbon uh uh you know,
Speaker 1: Battle of the Barrels is what it's called at the
Speaker 1: Beaufort Hotel going out there. We got some listeners, we
Speaker 1: gave away a trip, so congrats to our winter there.
Speaker 1: And this is this is going to be reps from
Speaker 1: like all the biggest names in Bourbon, you know, the
Speaker 1: ones you'll want with the special stuff. And that's coupled
Speaker 1: with a dinner a really really really great right struant
Speaker 1: there that's part of the Beaufort Hotel. In fact, probably
Speaker 1: the best shrimping this is gonna start a fight. Probably
Speaker 1: the best shrimping grits or top three shrimp and grits
Speaker 1: I've ever had, and I have been salivating ever since
Speaker 1: we put this thing together. Probably have that for two
Speaker 1: of the meals, but not the main meal because they're
Speaker 1: gonna go five star chef on this thing, so that'll
Speaker 1: be pair with the with the really really nice bourbon.
Speaker 1: They have room specials for under one hundred bucks. It's
Speaker 1: like a mini v K and we need it after
Speaker 1: this week. So at our Greensboro facility, it's it's brand new.
Speaker 1: We're in high Points. Specifically, we're in downtown high Point
Speaker 1: if you where the ballpark is right there where they
Speaker 1: have the big food hole down there, which is what
Speaker 1: a great location. I'm glad I don't broadcast out of
Speaker 1: Greensboro every day because I think i'd be three hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: And the barbecue joined under me is fantastic. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so I am. I'm sitting there and you know, it's
Speaker 1: all future and so literally part of the way I
Speaker 1: don't maybe I shouldn't say that there is a really
Speaker 1: there's a newer way that involves your phone to be
Speaker 1: able to get in through one of our secure there's
Speaker 1: multiple security apparatus. So don't don't start nothing you don't
Speaker 1: want to finish. But what I did not realize is
Speaker 1: I was standing outside in ten degree rather this morning.
Speaker 1: Ross is that if you misscan it, it times you
Speaker 1: out for two minutes. And I did it twice because
Speaker 1: I'm like, my hand is like, it's cold as hell, man,
Speaker 1: and I'm standing on the outside of the building. So
Speaker 1: then I'm like sitting there and I have to stand
Speaker 1: there for two minutes. And then I did the same
Speaker 1: thing because I you know, I do the Greensboro broadcasts intermittently,
Speaker 1: and so I've been standing. I was literally it's the
Speaker 1: coldest I've been in a while. And I'm a kid
Speaker 1: who grew up Wyoming, lived in Minneapolis for eight years.
Speaker 1: So we need to be done with this, man. And
Speaker 1: I know some of you are going outside jobs today
Speaker 1: and you're just like, God, screw you. But you got
Speaker 1: to understand, I'm not dressed for working outside. I'm dressed
Speaker 1: for getting from the parking lot to the door and
Speaker 1: into the warm studio. So I but you know, don't
Speaker 1: give me that. I've worked many a day outside much
Speaker 1: colder than this, and I wouldn't just be wearing a pullover.
Speaker 1: Look I'm wearing. But yeah, so that that'll get you
Speaker 1: up this morning. So if you're you dragging a little.
Speaker 1: You need something to get you going this morning. And
Speaker 1: I probably won't scream about Tom Tillis the whole show today,
Speaker 1: but probably some of it, and that'll that'll wake you up.
Speaker 1: You give me be up and at him. The won't
Speaker 1: be any problems there, so uh, there you go, all right,
Speaker 1: coming up on the h on the show today, I
Speaker 1: can move one of these backwards left handed mice that
Speaker 1: our boss uh screws up. Here we go. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to have a couple discussions, uh, the the DEI
Speaker 1: casts off cast offs. I understand it's fun to go
Speaker 1: on Twitter x whatever and set tell them to learn
Speaker 1: to code, which is deeply ironic because eventually a I'll
Speaker 1: do it. So uh, there's that, but you know there's
Speaker 1: going to be a wholesale rejection because well, at the
Speaker 1: federal government, Trump's just like this stuff's done and we'll
Speaker 1: explain what they've done so var because it's not done
Speaker 1: done yet, and then how employees are responding to it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of shenanigans afoot, a lot of it.
Speaker 1: And I hope that there's a lot of eyeballs that
Speaker 1: are watching this. And uh, I think I have a
Speaker 1: solution here, and and then it goes out into companies
Speaker 1: or institutions, whether they are n g o's, you know,
Speaker 1: non governmental organizations that that contract government contractors, universities that
Speaker 1: get dollars public dollars. And then the next step is
Speaker 1: the private sector who follows suit. Because the private sector
Speaker 1: realizes that no longer are they going to have to
Speaker 1: maintain these score so that they can work, you know,
Speaker 1: they have access to working capital, which is how so
Speaker 1: much of this got crammed down Corporate America's throat. They
Speaker 1: went to companies that utilize working capital, you know, big, big,
Speaker 1: of the biggest companies ever who literally have to draw
Speaker 1: on this stuff from black Rock and some of these
Speaker 1: others who these were conditions of it, and so because
Speaker 1: they had to do business, they met the conditions. And
Speaker 1: so I find it deeply ironic where people are streaming
Speaker 1: that the government. Are the governments out there influencing this This,
Speaker 1: this entire industry likely would never have exist did if
Speaker 1: not forced by people in a position to strangle a
Speaker 1: company's ability to exist, Because think of companies and think
Speaker 1: of how much it costs to get paper clips sometimes
Speaker 1: or you know, your your M and E for those
Speaker 1: of you who travel, they you know, that got impacted.
Speaker 1: They stopped her for a one match, and you can
Speaker 1: call it greed, you can call it whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call different companies or in different states, and and
Speaker 1: realize that that's a big line item on the budget
Speaker 1: of a lot of companies and they're always looking for
Speaker 1: something to purge. And if they're no longer held hostage
Speaker 1: by having to get the access to the money along
Speaker 1: with the you know, the cancel culture that was around things,
Speaker 1: they're not going to have an incentive to maintain big
Speaker 1: departments of this or pay people like that really really
Speaker 1: fat chick who wears the tightest clas I wouldnt even
Speaker 1: comment on her size, but like she wears this Spandex
Speaker 1: stuff and then stands in front of a whiteboard going
Speaker 1: all white people are racist, and then you find out
Speaker 1: what they pay her or that Ebrahm ken d X
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean. These are easily a manager's salaries
Speaker 1: for like a two day thing, like an annual salary
Speaker 1: for a middle manager for just you know, a three
Speaker 1: hour thing a workshop. And then there's the staff you maintain.
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people which this is
Speaker 1: what they were educated in they hold these degrees. The
Speaker 1: degrees have weird names, but they're all DEI. And so
Speaker 1: you're about to have I don't even know what the
Speaker 1: number is. You're about to have fifty thousand, one hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: probably more if you get into some of the ancillary
Speaker 1: stuff where they don't have job prospects in their big
Speaker 1: old degree that they just paid a gazin and they're
Speaker 1: still paying on. So there's a lot of panic, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of repositioning, and it doesn't change the underlying
Speaker 1: fact that that the DEI stuff and any employee who
Speaker 1: would expouse it and believes it, believes that everyone is
Speaker 1: inherently racist, has stemied companies ability to recruit people because
Speaker 1: the companies have a big DEI office. And if you
Speaker 1: are somebody who is not going who is going to
Speaker 1: be seen as an oppressor, well maybe you don't go
Speaker 1: work for that company because you realize you're probably limited
Speaker 1: with upward mobility. So even if they change their name,
Speaker 1: even if they do what I'm going to tell you
Speaker 1: that they're up to, the fact remains that it is
Speaker 1: still a cancer within your company. And I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about HR and providing fair working conditions and dealing with
Speaker 1: employees who do things like discriminate against people, but now
Speaker 1: it has to be all across the board and standardized
Speaker 1: HR departments, even with a modern adaptation, are capable of that.
Speaker 1: So if you have if you have on your LinkedIn
Speaker 1: that you're a a DEI officer, a lot of them
Speaker 1: are changing their labels HR professional and so now if
Speaker 1: you are a company who's hiring an HR professional and
Speaker 1: you've wanted to get rid of that DEI culture, the
Speaker 1: onus is on you to really figure out who you're hiring,
Speaker 1: which is really bad news for people who are all
Speaker 1: in on this, because you've got to be all in
Speaker 1: on the grift and they'll take that same attitude. Federal
Speaker 1: employees are literally shuffling. There have been several DEI officers
Speaker 1: for departments within the US government where the person has
Speaker 1: went and changed their title to something very generic, changed
Speaker 1: their LinkedIn. They're literally their official government title, which obviously
Speaker 1: required higher ups within you know where they work, Department
Speaker 1: of State. There was two in there. I was reading
Speaker 1: about to UH to maintain this. They're also gathering and
Speaker 1: UH and and gathering all of the DEI stuff right,
Speaker 1: all the stuff that likely UH is you know, in
Speaker 1: the case of the State Department, Marco Rubio or has
Speaker 1: ordered essentially purge from the system, and they're creating like uh,
Speaker 1: cleverly labeled backup stuff so that they because they think
Speaker 1: in four years they can just turn the spigot on again.
Speaker 1: You can't dismantle this enough. And I and I don't
Speaker 1: think they're thinking this through. So what do you do? What? What? What?
Speaker 1: How do you How are those people going to go for?
Speaker 1: And what does what does it mean when they're unable
Speaker 1: to because you're dealing in a lot of cases, you're
Speaker 1: dealing with a religion for all practical purposes. Right, you're
Speaker 1: not telling somebody that instead of doing music radio, let's
Speaker 1: switch you over to talk radio because you know there's
Speaker 1: more opportunity. And like I made that transition, I made
Speaker 1: it on my own. You're looking at people who the
Speaker 1: mere suggestion that they don't do the one thing anymore
Speaker 1: is akin to you denouncing their god because they believe
Speaker 1: that strongly. Will there be violence? I don't know, I
Speaker 1: hope not. These are all things that you have to
Speaker 1: think about. And so I think if you are one
Speaker 1: of these think tanks, one of these organists, whether it's
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation or whatever. I think that right now,
Speaker 1: there needs to be an organization the catalogs who all
Speaker 1: of the DEI people are. And it's not a blacklist.
Speaker 1: But you can't sit here and decide that all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you're going to operate in the same way
Speaker 1: and just change your name even though you're on the
Speaker 1: public dole and this ideology has been expressly rejected. But also,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to do any good telling
Speaker 1: them all to learn to make fries. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think that where they're going to end up is
Speaker 1: where somebody with a degree and a little bit of
Speaker 1: extra schooling can find themselves, and that's in your kids classrooms.
Speaker 1: You may not have that one hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year DEI position at you know, pick whatever
Speaker 1: it is, and yeah, you'd be working for less money,
Speaker 1: but it's pretty it's a pretty transferable thing if you
Speaker 1: have the degree, and then you add on the educational
Speaker 1: and the practicum or whatever they call it where the
Speaker 1: student teachers come in, and and then now you got
Speaker 1: more woke ideology jammed into your kid's school. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what this looks like, I think it's an
Speaker 1: interesting conversation, but that's the only logical place I can Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a here's how woke federal employees can keep
Speaker 1: DEI alive in defiance of Trump's order. And it does
Speaker 1: a pretty good breakdown, pretty good breakdown of how they're
Speaker 1: going through and uh and and literally they're creating like
Speaker 1: dry hard drive, hidden hard drives of all the DEI
Speaker 1: stuff because they think in four years, in one day,
Speaker 1: they can flip the switch and it's back. So will
Speaker 1: it be a pause or will it be a complete
Speaker 1: reorganization of how this stuff is integrated into everything that
Speaker 1: we do at a governmental level and within the company
Speaker 1: you work? And I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 1: I I I don't. And you know, lastly we need
Speaker 1: is more Antifa. University of Washington screwed up. Antifa literally
Speaker 1: took some Turning Point USA speakers and who are who
Speaker 1: are flanked by police and they barricaded them into a room,
Speaker 1: which is kidnapping. I thought, and and uh and and
Speaker 1: they have the they have it surrounded. There's video online
Speaker 1: this morning. There's two cops they're standing there. There's like
Speaker 1: fifty Antifa out there. They're beating on the doors in
Speaker 1: the windows, even though they've said they've locked them down
Speaker 1: so they can't leave. Even Trump administration's going to pull
Speaker 1: dollars if this stuff is happening, and the University of
Speaker 1: Washington knows it. Harvard just had a bunch of a
Speaker 1: bunch of dollars pulled from them because they're refusing to change.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be. It's gonna be. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: be pretty and smooth. Just prepare yourself. So well, we'll
Speaker 1: get into a couple other things there. I got a
Speaker 1: crazy costco story we'll get to. And Eric Swallwell decided
Speaker 1: to send the dumbest tweet I've seen of this presidency
Speaker 1: so far. So kudos to to that guy, because holy crap.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: In fact, let me read it to you and then
Speaker 1: we'll go to break and you can ponder the information
Speaker 1: he's provided and think, you know, let me know if
Speaker 1: you agree with him. All right, you're ready here it
Speaker 1: is this is This is the Chinese spy hooker upper dude. Okay,
Speaker 1: And I wanted to Nuki that one time. He says,
Speaker 1: there's not been a day in America where more cops
Speaker 1: were hurt in a single event than January sixth. For
Speaker 1: his first act as president, Trump releases every rider who
Speaker 1: attacked and hert cops. This is the joker releasing the
Speaker 1: lunatics of the asylum. Oh no, he didn't see the
Speaker 1: second joker, did he? Oh yeah, that's okay. A lot
Speaker 1: of people didn't spoiler. Yeah, yees. Single deadliest day for
Speaker 1: the for the kid. You know that for police is
Speaker 1: January sixth. Think about that. We'll be right back. It's
Speaker 1: thirty five. Welcome back here on the Cacoday radio program.
Speaker 1: This is this is an easy answer, but it's so
Speaker 1: easy it requires not just him not to know, but
Speaker 1: for him to understand that he's trolling, but says it
Speaker 1: anyway and then attempt to align himself as well. We
Speaker 1: are the party of law enforcement because we're matic Trump
Speaker 1: over the commutation part of his orders that he signed.
Speaker 1: Eric Swallwell tweeting there has not been a day in
Speaker 1: America where more cops were hurt in a single event
Speaker 1: than January sixth, And then he puts some other stuff
Speaker 1: in there, basically talking about j six stuff that's not
Speaker 1: only provably false. You don't even have to go to
Speaker 1: the big exam. Do you know what I mean, you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't have to invoke nine to eleven, which is
Speaker 1: the obvious answer. Right, you can go to Dallas, you know,
Speaker 1: before they blew that guy up with the robot there,
Speaker 1: which sadly I don't not video that I've seen that
Speaker 1: dirt bag, or you can pick I don't know. And
Speaker 1: now if you want to go with hurt in a
Speaker 1: single day versus killed, then you know, at least at
Speaker 1: least those those numbers gonna be higher. But in nine
Speaker 1: to eleven, there were more police officers killed than were
Speaker 1: reportedly quote unquote injured. And by the way, the injured
Speaker 1: because they played so fast and loose over whether like
Speaker 1: sick Nick died. You know, you still have politicians go,
Speaker 1: you know, they murdered a police officer that day. Well,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not true. That's not true. You I
Speaker 1: guess you could still argue that the st rest of
Speaker 1: it continued, but it's just not true because it's not
Speaker 1: I mean that they they did the autopsies, did multiple
Speaker 1: autopsies on sick Nick. And I and I want to
Speaker 1: be clear here because my position has not changed. It's
Speaker 1: I can only adapt it into the situation. We're here
Speaker 1: there were people who were absolutely violently attacking police. And
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the police because people go, well
Speaker 1: they were hitting some of them with the you know,
Speaker 1: the rubber balls and all that stuff. You have to
Speaker 1: go individual on stuff. But there were people. There's a
Speaker 1: there was a guy with a flagpole who clearly cheap
Speaker 1: shot at an officer with it. No no exactly what
Speaker 1: that dude's name is, but and the officer had been
Speaker 1: among those officers that was standing and looking like they
Speaker 1: were playing Bejeweled on their phone. I don't condone any
Speaker 1: of that. The problem is is rather than targeting those
Speaker 1: individuals where and you could even throw the book at them,
Speaker 1: and I think people probably you decided you were going
Speaker 1: to go and you were going to charge you know,
Speaker 1: seventy five year old dudes with a caine who are
Speaker 1: strolling give them, give them two years, and inflate a
Speaker 1: fifty dollars charge. It is a known thing in DC
Speaker 1: and it was evidenced during the Kavanaugh disruptions of disrupting
Speaker 1: proceedings and parading is the other one, and turn those
Speaker 1: into felonies and illegally so in many instances, according to
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court ruling, you had judges who the stuff
Speaker 1: that they allowed. I was I was reading a thing
Speaker 1: this morning. I'm not a lawyer, but I've watched some
Speaker 1: Law and Order. Okay, maybe there's some lawyers listening this morning.
Speaker 1: If you're a lawyer and you're listening this morning, explain
Speaker 1: how this would be allowed into evidence. So there was
Speaker 1: one guy who he was given nineteen nineteen months he
Speaker 1: is There was a twenty two minute video, and the
Speaker 1: twenty two minute video was a montage of all the
Speaker 1: worst video, right, that officer getting struck with the flagpole,
Speaker 1: the one officer's got his hands in the door and
Speaker 1: they're slamming it and they busted up his hands, right,
Speaker 1: all the stuff that people absolutely agree in the ninety
Speaker 1: ninth percentile are our dirt bags that deserve to go
Speaker 1: to you know, go to jail. But that wasn't this dude.
Speaker 1: This dude isn't in any of those And then interspliced
Speaker 1: in the middle of a twenty two minute greatest Hits
Speaker 1: or worst Hits? How everyone to describe it video is
Speaker 1: six seconds of this dude walking down a hall, walking
Speaker 1: down a hall like a tourist, and then another eight
Speaker 1: seconds here, and in total he was in the Capitol
Speaker 1: for eight minutes, and they know his path. He didn't
Speaker 1: touch anybody, He didn't touch anything. He walked through that
Speaker 1: open door, spent eight minutes walking around. Look what's going
Speaker 1: on in here? What's going on here? Took some picture
Speaker 1: left nineteen months but allowing a twenty two minute video
Speaker 1: where it's all the worst stuff, but in all the
Speaker 1: worst stuff parts, he's not there. He's not even in
Speaker 1: proximity because they know his path. They charted his path
Speaker 1: because he kept, you know, pop up over here on
Speaker 1: this camera and this camera, and they trace it around.
Speaker 1: They know he didn't do anything. They didn't care. And
Speaker 1: the judge, over the objections of his attorney, allowed that
Speaker 1: twenty two minute video which spliced him in doing nothing
Speaker 1: in the middle of you know, pretty awful stuff. And
Speaker 1: once you start doing that, and the judge light, which,
Speaker 1: how would that not be prejudicial? How would that how
Speaker 1: would that not be prejudiced? That that would be like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to tie I don't know, ross
Speaker 1: to nine to eleven, sorry, buddy, And and but you know,
Speaker 1: and then there's the here's the video of the planes,
Speaker 1: here's the people jumping from the building. It's all emotionally taxing. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we those of us who remember nine to eleven and
Speaker 1: and and everything we saw that day. And and here's
Speaker 1: Ross at Zukati Park, which is about a block away
Speaker 1: getting a snow cone. But then you got all the
Speaker 1: other stuff like you would never allow that. Also, Ross
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it was just an example.
Speaker 1: My point is like, that's you don't even have to
Speaker 1: be a lawyer to go. That's insane. How would that
Speaker 1: be allowed? And it was because of the totality of
Speaker 1: everything that this administration and this this this previous or
Speaker 1: this previous administration and Justice Department chose to do.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 1: You you soured and and and you you you destroyed any
Speaker 1: sense of justice over the totality of it because of
Speaker 1: what you were doing. When you start charging people who
Speaker 1: were there and you know they weren't there, including North
Speaker 1: There's a guy in North Carolina, gotcha who wasn't there
Speaker 1: and I think he was the he's like seventy veteran
Speaker 1: wasn't there, and they you know, didn't they didn't care.
Speaker 1: They didn't get him charged, but they essentially bankrupted him.
Speaker 1: They essentially bankrupted him. And that was that was the goal.
Speaker 1: If they couldn't get you charged, they were going to
Speaker 1: wear you down. I don't know if there's veracity to
Speaker 1: the idea that J six those incarcerated were subject subjected
Speaker 1: to abuse above and beyond or just abuse in general.
Speaker 1: But there's some really really chilling accusations. And you know
Speaker 1: why because as a totality, you have dehumaned those folks.
Speaker 1: And it's easy to do because there's so much politics
Speaker 1: attached there. These are the dirt bags of all dirt bags.
Speaker 1: And if you've got it in your mind and you're
Speaker 1: willing to go along with that and not even evaluate
Speaker 1: what's going on on an individualized basis, it becomes a
Speaker 1: lot easier to do those things. So no, the potstars
Speaker 1: small Well can go ahead, and he can you know,
Speaker 1: he can do all of his little, uh, his little
Speaker 1: trolling here. But you know the fact remains that anyone
Speaker 1: willing to take an honest look at this should be
Speaker 1: horrified and then judge whether you think Trump should have
Speaker 1: gone one by one, whether it should have just been
Speaker 1: a handful, and and then you know, you had to
Speaker 1: go through a hearing and a judy or if you
Speaker 1: could look at the the whole thing, the whole thing
Speaker 1: and with the ability of having u you know, many
Speaker 1: of the folks who were who are actually accused and
Speaker 1: or were convicted of attacking law enforcement or being violent
Speaker 1: in some other manner, perhaps to a counter protester. Right,
Speaker 1: you realize it's really hard to remove that stuff, and
Speaker 1: most of them have served some time. And then you
Speaker 1: couple it with the third factor that at the very
Speaker 1: same span of time you watch city after city decimated.
Speaker 1: And yes, some people were charged, but the standard protocol
Speaker 1: was not overcharging. In most cases, it was undercharging. I
Speaker 1: did many a story where somebody was out there and
Speaker 1: you remember with the laser pointers where they literally blinded
Speaker 1: they literally blinded a federal law enforcement officer. That person
Speaker 1: did under two years, and a bunch of others there
Speaker 1: didn't even catch a jailable charge for it, even though
Speaker 1: they were in on it. And because remember they were
Speaker 1: charging people who weren't even at January sixth, because they
Speaker 1: posted that people should go there, there was an immense
Speaker 1: double standard. And in Washington, d C. If you go up,
Speaker 1: if you go up and you're some random dirt bag
Speaker 1: in DC and you punched a cop this morning, would
Speaker 1: they arrest you? Sure? Would you get a sentence commensurate
Speaker 1: with a guy or what they were attempting to do
Speaker 1: to a guy who literally walked through for or what
Speaker 1: they did do nineteen months. Probably not you'd get you
Speaker 1: might get sentenced to it, and then they'd suspend all
Speaker 1: but like ninety days or something, they'd put you in
Speaker 1: a program probation or whatever. DC is notorious for undercharging,
Speaker 1: not in this case, and so you look at all
Speaker 1: of that and you ask yourself, how do you make
Speaker 1: that right when you're dealing with fifteen sixteen hundred individuals.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I still feel like there's people
Speaker 1: that were that probably should have caught full charge. But
Speaker 1: I think that if you're in DC and you decide
Speaker 1: to assault law enforcement who's not doing anything, or just
Speaker 1: assault anybody for that matter, is just stand their mind
Speaker 1: in their business. DC has some serious crime problems. It
Speaker 1: would behoove them to avail themselves of the statutes. But
Speaker 1: with the January sixth stuff, they literally bastardized the statutes.
Speaker 1: They made one up that some three hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: defendants ended up catching, you know, in excess of a
Speaker 1: year over until the Supreme Court stepped in and they
Speaker 1: turned a fifty dollars finable offense into significant prison time,
Speaker 1: not to be confused with jail time prison time, which
Speaker 1: is usually I don't know what it is in DC,
Speaker 1: but in most jurisdictions, you know, it's a year in
Speaker 1: a day. Year in a day is the standard, whether
Speaker 1: you're going to be in a county lock up facility
Speaker 1: or you're going to one of the state prisons or
Speaker 1: in this case, federal prisons. So forgive me there.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 1: Swallwoll is an idiot. But I almost don't even have
Speaker 1: to point that out. What is this Boston Paul thinks
Speaker 1: he's cute this morning. It's okay, too much of a
Speaker 1: coward to come to our bourbon thing. So he's got
Speaker 1: to send you a little picky in like my microphone.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up on the show, we've got big
Speaker 1: Virgin news. I'm assuming, well, I don't know. I'll let
Speaker 1: you be the judge. Costco California story next crazy stuff.
Speaker 1: Hang on. He told them to make a list. Know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is an organization out there if they
Speaker 1: want to track this is going to spearhead this and
Speaker 1: and track them. We can discuss whether that's a good thing,
Speaker 1: because it kind of feels like if you do that,
Speaker 1: you're you're locking somebody into a position where they have
Speaker 1: to double down on that ideology. I recognize that it
Speaker 1: may not be a good idea. If somebody wants to, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, get away from the DEI stuff and still
Speaker 1: do you know, some sort of corporate something or other,
Speaker 1: and they're not pushing the ideology, then I don't necessarily
Speaker 1: know what the problem is, except the every time I
Speaker 1: see somebody one of these DEI folks, they're all in man,
Speaker 1: and you'd have to be because the ideology is so
Speaker 1: toxic that you'd have to overlook the fact that you're
Speaker 1: now the racist and not be aware of that crazy stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: wall hold on? Speaking of crazy? Uh Boston, Paul, what's up?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I can't quite a few people over
Speaker 5: the years with something better than police officer.
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, hold on, So are you saying that
Speaker 1: people really like to punch you or something? I can't imagine?
Speaker 5: And I tell you, you know, but most of the time,
Speaker 5: when it got the quarter was a coofit or you know,
Speaker 5: time served if they were waiting for arraignment, everything was
Speaker 5: dealt down a restitution for uniform and past that would
Speaker 5: destroy or something. But I did any real crime.
Speaker 1: Well, now you got you remember you guys made that
Speaker 1: one kid go learn math? Uh and uh and and
Speaker 1: go see Robin Williams. I remember that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, they didn't They didn't do
Speaker 5: much with something about in police officers. They used that
Speaker 5: to like make them deal to a lesser another crime,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right? Were they mitigating circumstances like was the
Speaker 1: police offics are harassing them about the quality of their microphone,
Speaker 1: because then you know, Jerry's probably gonna open early.
Speaker 5: You know, you'd be able to have us for tomorrow's show. Anyway,
Speaker 5: what's that we're gonna buy? Go go, go the best
Speaker 5: buy and buy your mister microphone.
Speaker 1: Stop it, all right, you get out of here, you know.
Speaker 1: I go get that little play school cop set with
Speaker 1: the little plastic badge and stuff.
Speaker 3: I already got one already, I see.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, don't freeze. Don't freeze, get to lose
Speaker 1: the national treasure. That is your take. Uh. By the way,
Speaker 1: Ross is vindicated this morning on avocados.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: I uh so, if you don't know, I'm a I
Speaker 1: love avocados. Guacamole. Ross is an avocados and guacamole or
Speaker 1: just guacamole you don't like.
Speaker 6: Yeah, both, specifically guacamole, Like you can't do it right?
Speaker 1: Is that is that it's a visual or something? But well,
Speaker 1: also you didn't want to eat you don't want to
Speaker 1: eat cartel murder food, so that yeah, yeah, yeah, New
Speaker 1: York Times. How labeling Cartel's terrorists could hurt the US economy?
Speaker 1: What Isolating US companies from cartel activities could be almost
Speaker 1: impossible given that criminal groups operate in sectors such as
Speaker 1: avocado agriculture and tourism. Wait a second, are you did
Speaker 1: you for there's avocado part? That's okay, that's a problem
Speaker 1: then right, Maybe the thing is not to let the
Speaker 1: cartels keep running the avocado racket cartel, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: do you think the cocaine car like do you think
Speaker 1: the guys the cast offs from like Escobar and the
Speaker 1: Cali cartel, when they go to the cartel conferences they
Speaker 1: make fun of the avocado cartel. I just feel I
Speaker 1: feel like there's a pecking order, cartel pecking order. But
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the second thing, tourism, do you
Speaker 1: mean coyotes. Ross. Did you find it weird that Austin
Speaker 1: Paul was kind of like being an apologist for one
Speaker 1: of the more famous cases of officer assault.
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean he's pretty much calling out Goodwill
Speaker 6: Hunting for not being accurate, which is kind of a
Speaker 6: depressing because remember that's the one reason that Will went in.
Speaker 6: You hit a car going in like that was.
Speaker 1: The r Yeah, well he tried. He tried the common
Speaker 1: law argument from you know, the sixteen hundreds cop. The
Speaker 1: judge was was not buying it. But eventually they worked
Speaker 1: out a plea deal.
Speaker 6: So liberty is a sinko a what yahanna?
Speaker 1: And then he found redemption and uh, you know, a
Speaker 1: nice little British audience. You know, it's not your fault. No,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not your fault. There are some apples
Speaker 1: this morning. I have a sudden craving. I'm gonna check
Speaker 1: the kitchen here at the break all right, so you
Speaker 1: want you want some nerd news, I got some nerd
Speaker 1: news for you. One of my nine mice in.
Speaker 6: Here are they still are the the there? They still
Speaker 6: like switched?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in And I move him. I move them
Speaker 1: over to the other side. Every morning and he moves
Speaker 1: them back.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure that he has to change it now, right,
Speaker 6: didn't Trump had an executive order or something about that?
Speaker 1: I think that's actually that dude. That's exactly what I
Speaker 1: said to him on Monday. I'm like, man, nothing that
Speaker 1: I could do. You didn't see him sign it. Ah,
Speaker 1: you should have paid attention. No, no more left handed mice.
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, it's not just that he
Speaker 1: uses the mouse, because there's people who are left handed,
Speaker 1: like Ross's left hand, there's people who are left handed
Speaker 1: listening to the show. What I mean is he goes
Speaker 1: into the settings. This is our this is our program
Speaker 1: director for the Greensborough for WPT I JT, who Ross
Speaker 1: and JT known each other for decades, like literally work together.
Speaker 1: So he goes into the settings and reverses the buttons
Speaker 1: of the mouse. So me, as a normal right handed
Speaker 1: person or even a normal left handed per thinks that's
Speaker 1: insane to physically reverse it. So your foot, you're you know,
Speaker 1: you're flying around like, oh, let me click on this thing,
Speaker 1: and you click your left finger and it doesn't do anything.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh that's right. Then you got to click
Speaker 1: your right finger. So no, now I just uh, I
Speaker 1: figured out how to do it. So game on, blood
Speaker 1: Bloodless coup. What are you gonna do? So we'll see.
Speaker 1: But now I keep changing it back and then in uh,
Speaker 1: this is such, this is such petty stuff. Also, if so,
Speaker 1: if you one of our computers, at one of the
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia Company computers, you know, the desktops are in the studios,
Speaker 1: you log in under your own log in, and then
Speaker 1: obviously your desktop is your stuff, your programs, your files,
Speaker 1: all that. If you just walk away and it times
Speaker 1: out and locks the computer, you can't select a different
Speaker 1: log in.
Speaker 2: Drop.
Speaker 1: You know we're a new user. You have to physically
Speaker 1: restart the computer. If you take the two seconds that
Speaker 1: it takes to click logout, then whoever's next doesn't have
Speaker 1: to restart the computers like me. You know, O dark
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, I got to restart everything in here.
Speaker 1: So you know, turnabout's fair play. Now I do it
Speaker 1: to him. Game on, man, Yeah, petty office stuff here,
Speaker 1: you want some petty check this out. A costco in
Speaker 1: California broke out in a brawl. A brawl footage captured
Speaker 1: at the Atwater Village Costco in It's a lot Los
Speaker 1: Angeles area showed a group of I don't know, trying
Speaker 1: to count here, there's easily there's easy like fifty people.
Speaker 1: I would say ten of them are brawling. The other
Speaker 1: ones are standing around yelling, some are trying to break
Speaker 1: it up. A couple look like they jump in there.
Speaker 1: So were why were they brawling? Did they have disagreements
Speaker 1: over fire policy? And in Los Angeles? And no? They
Speaker 1: were brawling because Costco got an order of Pokemon cards.
Speaker 1: These are adults they got they got these special Pokemon
Speaker 1: Collectors packages. I know nothing. I know nothing about Pokemon,
Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna let you know. I guess maybe Pokemon.
Speaker 1: I think Ross and I missed Pokemon by what five years,
Speaker 1: maybe ten years. I don't even I don't even know
Speaker 1: if my I think my little brother was into it
Speaker 1: for a while. And he's seven seven years younger than me,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I I but if you look,
Speaker 1: if Pokemon was your thing as a kid, great, this
Speaker 1: isn't what this is about. This goes back to the
Speaker 1: collector card thing that I literally lost track of for decades.
Speaker 1: Right when I was a kid, I'd buy baseball cards.
Speaker 1: I remember I to this day, remember opening the first
Speaker 1: the rookie year and getting a bo Jackson, and I
Speaker 1: remember I was elated forever. Damn. I wish i'd know
Speaker 1: what happened to that, But get that was the big
Speaker 1: thing when I was really kind of getting into cards.
Speaker 1: And I remember, like cause we'd go we go to
Speaker 1: a little League or was legion where the American Legion
Speaker 1: ran it up there, and then they had like a
Speaker 1: little concession thing for when the games are going on,
Speaker 1: so you could get like, you know, chips and drinks,
Speaker 1: and but you could buy baseball cards there. And so
Speaker 1: every week I would buy a pack with the allowance there,
Speaker 1: and I got me a bo Jackson and I spent
Speaker 1: I think I spent the whole day not even concerned
Speaker 1: about the game, just talking with my buddies about that.
Speaker 1: It was really cool. But it was also like fifty cents.
Speaker 1: I don't know what tops cards were at that time,
Speaker 1: but that bo Jackson was pretty amazing. I collected the
Speaker 1: entire eighty seven tops, which you know in retrospect they
Speaker 1: overprinted a lot of that stuff. But that was what
Speaker 1: McGuire's rookie bunch of others like I was, and then I,
Speaker 1: you know, I figured out if you talk to girls,
Speaker 1: that's fun, and and you know, the baseball cards kind
Speaker 1: of went by the side, So went ahead and went
Speaker 1: ahead and did that. And UH didn't think about it literally,
Speaker 1: Oh well, okay, all right. I didn't think about it
Speaker 1: literally until I call. I saw a video of this.
Speaker 1: He's American, du he's like an Asian, but he's an
Speaker 1: Asian guy, right, I don't and he I think he
Speaker 1: calls himself a pacman or said some pun and it
Speaker 1: just happened to catch a video, and by and by
Speaker 1: the way, I felt it very entertaining. But the thing
Speaker 1: that caught me was the title that got served up
Speaker 1: in like the YouTube algorithm, and it says we opened
Speaker 1: a two thousand dollars pack. I'm like, what how much
Speaker 1: your cards? And then I went down this rabbit hole
Speaker 1: and I did not real that, like, if you want
Speaker 1: top tier sports cards, you right, you're you're you're paying
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars for a box of them that may
Speaker 1: have ten packs in it, and that's where you get
Speaker 1: the truly expected like that. It went crazy. Same with
Speaker 1: Pokemon and UFC stuff and saw, you know, all the
Speaker 1: different sports and and there's this whole insane industry out
Speaker 1: there where people are doing things like paying a million
Speaker 1: dollars for a Victor wembin Yama rookie card because it's
Speaker 1: a one of one or something like. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: But also, if you want to do that, that's fine.
Speaker 1: That's what you're dealing with here. These were ravenous resellers,
Speaker 1: so they're not even really in it for the love
Speaker 1: of the game. They just realized that because Costco was
Speaker 1: selling the stuff for cheap, that they could go ahead
Speaker 1: and uh and and probably make some money there. And
Speaker 1: I understand that, but it evolved into an all out
Speaker 1: brawl over Pokemon cards and what's crazy? Uh, I don't know, ROI.
Speaker 1: You had a chance to see the video. They're poor
Speaker 1: wives and girlfriends. Now, I don't see him in the video,
Speaker 1: but they had to be mortified. I'm sure they're all
Speaker 1: standing off to the side right watching this unfold. I
Speaker 1: want to get into it. And then they didn't interview
Speaker 1: any of their wives or girlfriends either, so that was
Speaker 1: that was a little strange. But these are grown adults
Speaker 1: fighting each other over Pokemon cards. Imagine being that person.
Speaker 1: Imagine thinking you have to punch two of your neighbors.
Speaker 1: So you can get a what's what's the name of
Speaker 1: a Pokemon Pikachu. That's the only one I know. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a bunch of others, so you can
Speaker 1: get a Pikachu. Another thing I know that is because
Speaker 1: remember when doctor Campbell, Remember when a grown doctor that
Speaker 1: we used to have on the show was trying to
Speaker 1: capture Pokemon.
Speaker 6: He came in like a lunatic doing that Pokemon what
Speaker 6: is it called Pokemon go? Yeah, I get you know,
Speaker 6: it's g It was geographic, so so you have which
Speaker 6: is how they ended up having to like tell people
Speaker 6: to not come to Auschwitz to catch Pokemon. Remember that
Speaker 6: became a thing or at the Holocaust Museum in DC.
Speaker 1: Like, there were so many insane stories. This is a
Speaker 1: This is a person who went to medical school, right,
Speaker 1: I tell you what. He went duke in University of
Speaker 1: Virginia and undergrad at NCC. He went to three different colleges.
Speaker 1: Highly educated individual who literally will open your chest and
Speaker 1: make your heart work again. And he's in Ross's studio
Speaker 1: trying to catch something that's that he's hallucinating, so like
Speaker 1: it's just crazy town, man. And then we like he
Speaker 1: was part of a group where we go up to
Speaker 1: the mountains. We go up up towards Sparta, their high
Speaker 1: meadows and rowing gap and all that. We play old bow,
Speaker 1: We play a few courses. Big guys trip do it
Speaker 1: every summer. And so there's there's like twenty of us
Speaker 1: right this big trip. We rent a couple of the
Speaker 1: big houses. And this doctor's walking around literally in people's
Speaker 1: backswing catching Pokemon. I don't get it. I don't understand it,
Speaker 1: and I don't understand people a bunch of virgins punching
Speaker 1: each other for Pokemon cards in a costco like like
Speaker 1: when you're evaluating that later, are you like? What am
Speaker 1: I doing with my life? I need to go. I
Speaker 1: need to go touch grass or get on a dating
Speaker 1: app or something, or do you know, take a vow
Speaker 1: of celibacy and be a monk. I don't know, do
Speaker 1: something productive. No, I'm gonna be on video brawling with
Speaker 1: other adults over Pokemon cards. The world has absolutely lost
Speaker 1: its mind. Man. But hey for my amusement, because hey,
Speaker 1: we're here talking about it. So there you go. All right,
Speaker 1: So I tease this article earlier, how woke federal employees
Speaker 1: keep d are keeping deilive in defiance of Trump's orders,
Speaker 1: And the question becomes, what do you do if you
Speaker 1: think needs stamped out and a combination of market forces
Speaker 1: and turning off the government spigging on this is going
Speaker 1: to be the way to do it. You got to
Speaker 1: realize that if you unseed an entire industry full of people,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do something. And just telling them
Speaker 1: to go pick strawberries on Twitter may feel good to you,
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be reality. So, uh, we'll get
Speaker 1: into this. We'll do it next here on the CaCO
Speaker 1: Day radio program. What do I read? I just leave
Speaker 1: at the call streamer? Are all those words correct? Because
Speaker 1: I always try to in my brain figure out where
Speaker 1: the caller is going with us. I have to know
Speaker 1: what this is?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Hold up, grab the right mouse, Bernie. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Born and Casey?
Speaker 1: Morning?
Speaker 3: Card market? The card market is so crazy. You can
Speaker 3: go to Walmart and call get no places by what
Speaker 3: they call retail bosses and retail packs.
Speaker 1: By the way, because I did, I well, hang on, Birdie,
Speaker 1: because I want to explain this to people. Because I myself,
Speaker 1: I when I see something I don't know about it,
Speaker 1: I try to educate myself a little, and admittedly I
Speaker 1: don't know barely anything, but it seemed really scummy because
Speaker 1: they produce two different sets basically, and they got you know,
Speaker 1: for the Walmart for the kids, and then they have
Speaker 1: these really high end hobby I think they call it,
Speaker 1: called them hobby right where it's like eight hundred dollars
Speaker 1: for a box, but it's where the good cards are.
Speaker 1: So if you buy the cheapies, you can't even get
Speaker 1: the good cards. You gotta buy thet You gotta spend
Speaker 1: a car payment to have a chance at them. And
Speaker 1: they're private business, they can do what they want, but
Speaker 1: it just seems like you're taking advantage of your sports
Speaker 1: fans and your card collectors.
Speaker 3: You can still get hit at the retail boxes retail tags,
Speaker 3: but not the.
Speaker 1: Big, big big ones, right, not the big ones they
Speaker 1: make videos about.
Speaker 3: Right, It just depends on the holograph of the men
Speaker 3: car it Jersey patch card. You can get them, but
Speaker 3: people weigh the pack just to see which pack is
Speaker 3: ways more to get the good packs with little with scales.
Speaker 1: Well, if I'm the manufacturer, I would not want people
Speaker 1: doing that because then they probably wouldn't buy your lighter boxes.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you stick something in there so they all weigh
Speaker 1: the same?
Speaker 3: They do that, they put a piece of cardboard in there.
Speaker 1: Work science, man, huh because a Pokemon card there's the
Speaker 1: only thing I know about the pokem Yeah, some of
Speaker 1: them are made of like heavy material and not just
Speaker 1: Pokemon but cards. Right, yeah, okay, all right, that ways
Speaker 1: around all that. What's your do you so you sound
Speaker 1: like you're into this, sir? Do you still.
Speaker 3: I collect? I'm old toys, so I go to card
Speaker 3: shows and toy shows, got you and that stuff. That
Speaker 3: stuff there's a big business. It's not a hobby no more.
Speaker 3: It's a business. People buy that stuff trying to you know,
Speaker 3: turn over to make a fortune out of it.
Speaker 1: Hey, good, good on them. It sounds like gambling, sir. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: And again they're private company if their customers are fine
Speaker 1: with that. I just from a kid's standpoint, I would
Speaker 1: think it'd be a little discouraging because I wouldn't you know,
Speaker 1: when I was opening cards in the eighties, if there
Speaker 1: was a good card to be had in a set,
Speaker 1: likely there was only one set for the manufacturer, and
Speaker 1: you had you had. Whatever the odds are. Everyone else
Speaker 1: had and honor the days. I guess so, Greg.
Speaker 3: I mean, they even make cards with historical signature cuts
Speaker 3: like six seven dollars a bus and you may get
Speaker 3: like a it would be Ruth Ruth r Graf or
Speaker 3: at least a Gray.
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, we're gonna chat with Stephen
Speaker 1: Kent our NERD correspond and yeah, we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get into the little bit of the card you know,
Speaker 1: the cards stuff and the because this is with the
Speaker 1: Pokemon stuff, because absolutely, but also uh, let's see here. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so we had Netflix definitely want to talk about that,
Speaker 1: and uh, they're going to try to do the Chronicles
Speaker 1: and Narnia thing again. And there are some concerns that
Speaker 1: Hollywood may Hollywood it as Hollywood do, so uh we'll
Speaker 1: pick that. But I am learning so much about Here's
Speaker 1: what Here's here's what I know. Ross. Did you collect
Speaker 1: baseball cards or sports cards or is it just the
Speaker 1: magic stuff? Ross worked at the Magic Show.
Speaker 6: I collected boxing cards. I was really big into boxing cards,
Speaker 6: but also wrestling cards.
Speaker 1: Okay, well absolutely, but the wrestling stuff. So I understand
Speaker 1: here's what I here's what I knew. Tops were what
Speaker 1: I wanted Donnris was for the pores. What was then
Speaker 1: the Flare Flair whatever. I don't remember if we had those,
Speaker 1: but then I remember, and this is one the last
Speaker 1: things I remember. I remember because I wanted Jordan Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan cards, and at some point he decided he was
Speaker 1: only going to be in upper deck. But upper deck
Speaker 1: was like the they were like they were the premium cards.
Speaker 1: And then I after that I discovered girls and stuff.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's it's a it's a rabbit hole, man.
Speaker 6: I actually it's sort of a humble brag. They also
Speaker 6: had a lot of the big collectible Star Trek cards.
Speaker 1: So see, obviously you found girls earlier because they're naturally
Speaker 1: attracted to that, right green ones, Yes, yeah, yeah, love
Speaker 1: that is the board Queen's not green, you perve he's
Speaker 1: got a board queen thing. All right, let's go, let
Speaker 1: me grab two calls real quick. I know, I know
Speaker 1: some of you're like, why are we talking about you
Speaker 1: know why? Because I screamed yesterday my voice hurts. Okay,
Speaker 1: oh horrific. Thought that last call was like you could
Speaker 1: get the cards with and I just somebody sent me
Speaker 1: a link to this and there's like there's packs of
Speaker 1: cards where it could have like Serena Williams or George
Speaker 1: Washington in it. The company that does those, I mean
Speaker 1: the cuts is basically like they get a hold of
Speaker 1: a check they wrote or contract or whatever, they cut
Speaker 1: it out, then they make a card out of it.
Speaker 1: So see in case I didn't, I didn't know what
Speaker 1: the terminology exactly meant, but that's what it is. The
Speaker 1: problem is I'd buy this thing and then I'd get
Speaker 1: nothing but Till's cards, and I'd be so upset. Right,
Speaker 1: and the bike spokes right, the bike spokes with those. Jake,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning?
Speaker 1: If you want to have a riot, Jammy, I can
Speaker 1: hear you. I don't know that I want to have
Speaker 1: a riot, but sell me hunt sir if you want.
Speaker 3: If you want to have a riot, you could go
Speaker 3: right here in Durham have it as They make a
Speaker 3: lot of those cards right here in Durham.
Speaker 1: Which what what do you mean just all of them
Speaker 1: in general? Or is there one of the companies it's
Speaker 1: like tops have a planter or something.
Speaker 2: Well, no, there's just a printing company that does a
Speaker 2: lot of different cards right here in Durham.
Speaker 3: And uh, they do magic cards. They do the Pokemon cards,
Speaker 3: and security inside there is pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: They make me put a stick girl for my camera
Speaker 2: on my phone, even though I need my camp my
Speaker 2: phone for work to take pictures of stuff I'm doing.
Speaker 3: But uh, it's it's pretty tight in there.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, we're considering. I literally I read it. I
Speaker 1: read an article where somebody paid a million dollars for
Speaker 1: a rookie card of the dude down in San Antonio,
Speaker 1: the when min Yama and so like, you're sticking a
Speaker 1: million dollars into a little pack and putting it in
Speaker 1: a box and sending it out and who knows where.
Speaker 1: That's crazy?
Speaker 3: Man, eat golden ticket.
Speaker 1: Is coming up? Hey, man, that would be I'd be
Speaker 1: down with dad. You give me a chance at oopa
Speaker 1: lumpas absolutely, Bob, what's up.
Speaker 4: Hey, Kasey? Good morning?
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh yeah.
Speaker 4: Out there in Durham by the air, they make seventy
Speaker 4: five to eighty percent of the world's Pokemon cards and
Speaker 4: magic cards. They also do baseball cards with like the
Speaker 4: jerseys and like pieces of the fat or whatever.
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 6: So, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: How do they wait? How do they what do you
Speaker 1: mean the jerseys? They you win it like you can
Speaker 1: win a jersey or something.
Speaker 4: No, just like a like a little clip, like a
Speaker 4: little like a little piece of the jersey that the
Speaker 4: guy wore in the game on the card.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So they so they get one jersey as
Speaker 1: some guy wore, and they probably make twenty cards or
Speaker 1: fifty cards out of it.
Speaker 4: Or a thousand cards because it's just you know, the
Speaker 4: cards aren't big. So the jersey piece yeah big?
Speaker 7: Oh okay, all right, slender Man, you were a saying
Speaker 7: Senator slender Man. Yeah, he has a problem with Trump's partons,
Speaker 7: but he never had a problem with Biden's partans.
Speaker 3: Come on, I don't know that he didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he didn't have a problem. But
Speaker 1: here's here's the Johnny Come Lately side of this is
Speaker 1: the passion wasn't there. He was very passionate in what
Speaker 1: I saw, which is what set what triggered me the
Speaker 1: other day. And he, like everybody else, knows and knew
Speaker 1: what was going on with the absolute rolling abuse of power,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't seem to want to address that other
Speaker 1: side of it. And I don't have any time for that.
Speaker 1: And uh, the NCGOP needs to purge them because I
Speaker 1: need a hobby because I don't collect cards, because I
Speaker 1: can't afford to pay eight hundred dollars for a box
Speaker 1: of cards. So my hobby will be making sure this
Speaker 1: dude never goes back to Washington. So the you know,
Speaker 1: real estate party, figure it out.
Speaker 4: You know, what are you gonna do if he If
Speaker 4: he's not in Washington, then your hobby's gone. You gotta
Speaker 4: find a new hobby.
Speaker 1: Noh, fine, don't worry. There's a there's dirt bags of
Speaker 1: plenty up there, sir.
Speaker 4: Okay, y'all have a wonderful day in case you thank
Speaker 4: you too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, they don't stop making dirt bags. Never gonna, never
Speaker 1: gonna run out of dirt bags in Washington. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's too that's too easy. Oh wait, hold on, wait
Speaker 1: a second, hold on, stop it. Ross. I just got
Speaker 1: a text from a mutual acquaintance of both doctor Campbell
Speaker 1: and myself who told me that last week Campbell was
Speaker 1: still catching peekachs. I don't have to text him after
Speaker 1: the show. Oh man, absolute crazy town. All right, seven
Speaker 1: forty two here on the KCO Day radio program. All right,
Speaker 1: so back to this, what are federal employees. What are
Speaker 1: federal employees doing to keep DEI alive? And it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: So as you have, you know, you have the purge
Speaker 1: within the government obviously with truck, you know, with Trump
Speaker 1: sign putting them on leave, and then we'll see where
Speaker 1: it goes from here. I just think you're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out if they can you know, what you can
Speaker 1: do based on the different employee classes. But I look,
Speaker 1: if the government doesn't have the flexibility to eliminate the
Speaker 1: apartments that are unnecessary, redundant, or no longer needed because
Speaker 1: things have changed without an Act of Congress, then government
Speaker 1: is not nimble enough to do anything above and beyond
Speaker 1: the bare minimum right because that is that's that's a
Speaker 1: logistical problem. And if if you're a big company and
Speaker 1: you're unable to do that, we've seen examples of this,
Speaker 1: you know where a company was running to the ground
Speaker 1: because it was held hostage by and then you know,
Speaker 1: insert whatever the whatever it is. You know, unions is
Speaker 1: the one like, oh, the unions are doing it, but
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times it's a lot more
Speaker 1: than that. So what do you do with people who
Speaker 1: have over educated themselves honestly believe that everything is inherently
Speaker 1: racist and and you know, white people of the perpetrators
Speaker 1: have been paid tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars
Speaker 1: to go give day long seminars that you're forced to
Speaker 1: if you want to be employed to ten so that
Speaker 1: you can be told you're a giant pile of crap,
Speaker 1: and then to create scenarios where you also realize that
Speaker 1: upward mobility is going to be a long shot for
Speaker 1: you because you don't tick any of the diversity boxes.
Speaker 1: You got to really believe in it. You got to
Speaker 1: be died in that. Plus you got student loans coming
Speaker 1: out your petard on this thing. And where do those
Speaker 1: folks go, Well maybe they go into some other part
Speaker 1: of it, and that ideology isn't part of what motivates them.
Speaker 1: But they're believers. Man. That's like taking somebody who's a
Speaker 1: you know as a preacher and you know, really really
Speaker 1: believes it and wants them to work in another capacity
Speaker 1: and then asking them to divorce themselves of you know,
Speaker 1: divine influence or prayer or any of the rest. It's difficult.
Speaker 1: This is the woke religion. And as companies don't feel
Speaker 1: shackled because operating capital is now available to them without
Speaker 1: a score talking about how diverse they are. Then what
Speaker 1: incentive does a publicly traded company have to one that
Speaker 1: in their office? If it's it's an unnecessary department companies
Speaker 1: maximizing profit. Love it or hate it is something that
Speaker 1: companies strive to do all of the time. So now
Speaker 1: you're talking thousands, tens of that, hundreds of thousands. Perhaps
Speaker 1: if you get into the all the underlings in these departments,
Speaker 1: what are they going to do? Sure, some are going
Speaker 1: to have applicable skills that work in other capacities. And
Speaker 1: yeah they're educated. So you know, if you had a
Speaker 1: basic liberal arts degree and then you got a post
Speaker 1: you know, post grad degree and that spun you into DEI,
Speaker 1: you probably still have marketable skills. So do they just
Speaker 1: pretend none of it ever happened. People have suggested that
Speaker 1: you need to make a list of all current DEI
Speaker 1: associated employees that other employers when checking can literally check
Speaker 1: that name. Well, that's just what Democrats did to Republicans,
Speaker 1: maybe not as official, although they do have lists. Oh
Speaker 1: they love lists, block lists mostly, but they have these lists.
Speaker 1: Do you want done to them? What was done to you?
Speaker 1: If you think it's inherently wrong. I don't know the
Speaker 1: answer to that. I do know the answer to your
Speaker 1: your weather troubles live with raced Agic from the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: Who needs to fix stuff. So I gotta look, dude,
Speaker 1: I gotta drive down to the coast for on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Man Beau for North Carolina knew.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, here's the good news. There's no additional snow
Speaker 8: on the forecast.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha right, so roads improving.
Speaker 8: The Weather Service did hang on to the win your
Speaker 8: weather advisory just parts of the triangle in points east
Speaker 8: because of previous snow. There still may be some black
Speaker 8: ice in spots cold morning though, a lot of teens
Speaker 8: and middle teens at that even a thirteen right now
Speaker 8: at Chapel Hill twelve as you get up your way
Speaker 8: and then back into the triad Lewisville fourteen degrees. You
Speaker 8: go further north in Rockingham County Reidsville eleven and there's
Speaker 8: a single digit up there caswell. So it's very cold,
Speaker 8: but temperatures will start coming back, no precept right through
Speaker 8: the weekend until about Monday. Now we'll have to watch
Speaker 8: it timing. On that Monday, there's a chance of rain
Speaker 8: in the morning and if temperatures are still around freezing,
Speaker 8: we'll see. Doesn't look like it's going to be a
Speaker 8: big mess, but we'll worry about that in the next
Speaker 8: couple of days.
Speaker 1: So a lot of clouds from.
Speaker 8: Sun today, mid upper thirties tonight in near twenty so
Speaker 8: we are a little better there, and then sunny Friday,
Speaker 8: upper thirties to low forties and probably in the mid
Speaker 8: forties by Saturday with sunshine, and then wrap it up
Speaker 8: the weekend Sunday with sunshine and back to normal as
Speaker 8: we're on either side of fifty depending on where you are,
Speaker 8: so upper forties probably tryad and low fifties for the triangle.
Speaker 8: So getting better, and it looks like next week we
Speaker 8: may actually get some spots close to sixty degrees, so
Speaker 8: also be gone. Yeah, yeah, see it's over. No more winter, Yes,
Speaker 8: Texas going away. It's over and we're looking forward now
Speaker 8: to springtime.
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to congratulate you because you
Speaker 1: have you guys, you count you and the your your
Speaker 1: your team are now second in my list of NFC
Speaker 1: East teams that annoy me. So what did we do?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 1: Did you see the mayor of Philadelphia at the playoff
Speaker 1: rally she held yesterday or two days ago. No, I
Speaker 1: did not. Okay, play a little audio for you, ready, Okay,
Speaker 1: tell me if you can see why this is really bad.
Speaker 1: We've got to do this.
Speaker 9: Let me hear you all saying he owe, No, let's
Speaker 9: go back.
Speaker 1: She misspelled the team name. She misspelled the team name,
Speaker 1: and I don't even have a complicated team name.
Speaker 8: She was so excited, right, and so no, I get it.
Speaker 1: I get it. Do you know that fifty two of
Speaker 1: Philadelphia this is true, fifty two percent of Philadelphia adults
Speaker 1: are functionally illiterate or completely illiterate.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 1: So like maybe half the fans didn't notice. Probably not,
Speaker 1: probably not. Man, all right, so there we go. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not the mayor at the rally with the team, right,
Speaker 1: So there's there's that. All right, man, we'll talk in
Speaker 1: an hour. I appreciate it, all right, seven forty eight.
Speaker 1: Hang on, we got a lot of people listen to
Speaker 1: this show. Speedal, you just send me that money, because
Speaker 1: like it sounds like a lot of times you're just
Speaker 1: you're just sticking it in a wood chipper. Holy cow,
Speaker 1: I've here's the guy's he buys boxes at seven hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars apiece. Oh again, it's your money, do
Speaker 1: what you want with it. But as somebody who just
Speaker 1: really wasn't clocked in on this stuff, it's just it's crazy,
Speaker 1: not as crazy as what all these politicians claim they're
Speaker 1: getting ready to do, and then like will immediately back
Speaker 1: down if a pair of bracelets, you know, come out
Speaker 1: by federal law enforcement officials, like the mayor of Denver
Speaker 1: who's keying up to martyr himself for people in the
Speaker 1: country illegal legal disobedience.
Speaker 10: You've mentioned that a couple of times. Now, would you
Speaker 10: be willing to participate in those as the mayor of Denver?
Speaker 10: Would you be willing to go out and protest these things?
Speaker 11: I would if I believe that our residents are having
Speaker 11: their rights violate, if I think things are happening that
Speaker 11: are illegal or immoral or an American in our city,
Speaker 11: I would certainly protest it, and I would expect it.
Speaker 1: And you'll notice these cats don't just say yes. They
Speaker 1: throw a lot of qualifiers in there. I suspect that's
Speaker 1: for later when they need it going. Well, it's not
Speaker 1: it's wrong, but it's not immoral.
Speaker 10: The residents will do the same Trump's new borders are.
Speaker 10: Tom Holman has said that he is willing to arrest leader.
Speaker 1: He's like my Tom Holman is easily one of my
Speaker 1: favorite characters in all of this, not just because I
Speaker 1: had a chance to interview the guy and actually hung
Speaker 1: out with him and some other radio hosts at a
Speaker 1: broadcast event that we did, and he's just he's a
Speaker 1: really interesting dude to talk to, and he has zero
Speaker 1: bandwidth for bs either. And also we share an affinity
Speaker 1: for a finer scotches and or whiskey. So that being said,
Speaker 1: dude ain't screwing around, and so he you know, he's
Speaker 1: going to be the villain in a lot of these.
Speaker 10: Interviews, like yourself for standing in the way of these
Speaker 10: policies that they want to enact. Would you be willing
Speaker 10: to go to jail for these things?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm not afraid of that, and I'm also not
Speaker 11: seeking that. I think the goal is we want to
Speaker 11: be able to negotiate with reasonable people how to solve
Speaker 11: hard problems.
Speaker 1: But that's not because this is a cut and dry issue.
Speaker 1: If you're not in the country legally, it is the
Speaker 1: position of this administration that you will not be in
Speaker 1: the country.
Speaker 12: If there's Massachusetts struction requests, it would the Massachusetts State
Speaker 12: Police assist in mass deportations.
Speaker 7: Absolutely not.
Speaker 9: But you know, let me say this. I do think
Speaker 9: it's important that we all recognize that there's going to
Speaker 9: be a lot of pressure on states and state officials,
Speaker 9: and I can assure you we're going to work really
Speaker 9: hard to deliver Some realities also need to be, you know, noted,
Speaker 9: and that is in twenty sixteen, we had a very
Speaker 9: different situation in the courts, and while I'm sure there
Speaker 9: may be litigation ahead, you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 9: other ways that people are going to act and need
Speaker 9: to act for the sake of their states and their residents.
Speaker 1: There's yeah, okay, and I'm just going to cut her
Speaker 1: off because she's alone. And remember this woman did use
Speaker 1: state police to deport it's still cold outside cause you
Speaker 1: haven't stepped out. There a spoiler alert on that, but
Speaker 1: that's what this segment's about. Sometimes spoiler alerts, although maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know that we'll have any this time around.
Speaker 1: But to help us do it, we invite our NERD
Speaker 1: correspondent in Steven Kent joining us doing this morning.
Speaker 3: I'm doing really well.
Speaker 2: I was super excited to hear about the executive order
Speaker 2: being signed extending your show, so congratulations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we tried to get pardon so we didn't have
Speaker 1: to do it, but that's how these things go.
Speaker 2: But Ross is still going away, man.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, although I did see a tweet yessay that
Speaker 1: said that Ross was freed, but it turned out to
Speaker 1: be a different Ross. So sometimes selling drugs on the
Speaker 1: internet or something were ran a site that did yeah,
Speaker 1: pored of us. Hey, man, dude, that guy's got a
Speaker 1: crypto wallet with I guarantee it hidden away with some
Speaker 1: serious dollars. He's going to port himself on a yacht
Speaker 1: to the Bahamas probably. So question, you weren't in La yesterday?
Speaker 2: Were you not? That I know of?
Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to make sure you weren't in
Speaker 1: the Pokemon did right? Did you see the Pokemon riot
Speaker 1: at the Costco.
Speaker 2: The Pokemon rye.
Speaker 3: No, I've not heard about this.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to catch me out.
Speaker 1: Oh you know, yeah, I'm sorry. That was my bad.
Speaker 1: I forgot to tell Russ to send that over to you.
Speaker 1: So yeah, apparently Pokemon produced some collect some I know
Speaker 1: nothing about this, so bear with me. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much you're into collectibles, but they put out some
Speaker 1: special Pokemon packs the collectors or resellers really wanted. And
Speaker 1: of course, like any good Black Friday style shopping event,
Speaker 1: there was not as many for the number of shoppers,
Speaker 1: so grown adults fought each other in a giant melee
Speaker 1: in the isle of Costco over Pokemon cards and Shoppingly,
Speaker 1: it was all men. Apparently all their wives and girlfriends
Speaker 1: weren't there with them, So what are we doing?
Speaker 2: I kind of wonder, I kind of wonder if, like
Speaker 2: ancient Greeks and Romans did this over the latest tablets
Speaker 2: that had been drawn up. You know, you couldn't you
Speaker 2: couldn't get people's writing super easily back then, thousands of
Speaker 2: years ago, and maybe people brawled over tablets because they
Speaker 2: just really wanted something to read. And fast forward to
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, you know, people are just really searching
Speaker 2: for the next Pokemon. They wanted blast toys, they wanted Venosaur,
Speaker 2: and then they fight over the cards.
Speaker 1: You know those those are Pokemon Pokemon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I'm more of a Charmander guy.
Speaker 2: I grew up in the nineties, so Pokemon is part
Speaker 2: of my culture. I don't believe that I would fight
Speaker 2: in a costco for the cards, but there are some
Speaker 2: very unhappy people who are on their second or third
Speaker 2: marriage out there who really need some new cards.
Speaker 1: I feel like you think you're flexing knowing all of.
Speaker 6: These I.
Speaker 1: Mean, and I know, and I know you're not a
Speaker 1: single guy because I saw the picture you posted with
Speaker 1: your wife going to movies, So like, you know, its
Speaker 1: just in this case, it was all it was all dudes,
Speaker 1: and it was just it's like the most embarrassing thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, why were I you arrested and you got
Speaker 1: to go to the jail right where there's some guy
Speaker 1: who like cut his drug dealer's throat. He's in one cell,
Speaker 1: and here's a guy over here just robbed the bang.
Speaker 1: Like what did you do? I punched a guy for
Speaker 1: a Pokemon card. I yeah, I gotta go well for you.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and you know that the real truth that
Speaker 2: people who used to be into these cards understand is
Speaker 2: that you Geo cards were always better than Pokemon cards. Pokemon,
Speaker 2: you know, it was the show, it was the game
Speaker 2: Boy video game, but U Geo cards were better. I
Speaker 2: might fight somebody over a dark magician or a Blue Eyes,
Speaker 2: White Dragon card Casey, but not over a venusaun a Blastois.
Speaker 1: I have to move on because I'm not looking up.
Speaker 2: These viewers and then I'm never coming back on again.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you can, but I've just I refused.
Speaker 1: I only have I only have limited brain space, so
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not going to memorize any of this stuff.
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's talk about something that equally can hurt
Speaker 1: your brain, and that's pro wrestling. Man, this year they
Speaker 1: moved was it just Monday Night Raw? Or is there
Speaker 1: more over to Netflix? I haven't watched any, but I
Speaker 1: have seen it when I've been flipping through Netflix. So
Speaker 1: and this is part of a bigger thing. Like for
Speaker 1: the playoff games this last weekend, there were four different
Speaker 1: streaming services you would have needed to have to be
Speaker 1: able to watch each of those each of the four games,
Speaker 1: right because ESPN did one, Fox was another, NBC was one,
Speaker 1: and then CBS and I had only two of them,
Speaker 1: so feasibly, unless I had a TV in Frontery, which
Speaker 1: thankfully I did, I wouldn't have been able to watch
Speaker 1: two of those games had I been, you know, trying
Speaker 1: to do it on my phone. This is the future
Speaker 1: of it. Is this real? Let's talk specifically about WWE
Speaker 1: and how it's impacting Netflix is a stock price, but
Speaker 1: this is the future. Is this any better than when
Speaker 1: we had cable because it seems almost as damn expensive
Speaker 1: and less convenient sometimes, Yeah, I mean, well.
Speaker 2: When you put it that way, no, it's not much better.
Speaker 2: But we are talking for WWE RAW like this is
Speaker 2: very exciting for them because they are actually going to
Speaker 2: be able to vastly grow their audience and cultural cachet.
Speaker 2: And Netflix is super, super excited about WWE RAW. Investors
Speaker 2: have absolutely rewarded Netflix for being nimble and keeping things
Speaker 2: fresh by adding things like live events and sports in
Speaker 2: the form of WWE.
Speaker 3: But you know, their viewership.
Speaker 2: Was down thirty seven percent. That is like two million
Speaker 2: people compared to the folks who watched the first episode
Speaker 2: or night one of WWE's new season here. So this
Speaker 2: is a bit of a problem. If people are going
Speaker 2: to have to switch between different platforms to watch these things,
Speaker 2: you're going to get major atrophy frustration and people will
Speaker 2: start watching over time. So they're going to have to
Speaker 2: fix this. We can't be a platform hopping or season
Speaker 2: one and season two of different shows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and the other thing. And this is why
Speaker 1: I get annoyed this. And generally I don't watch a
Speaker 1: show if it's being released episode by episode until the
Speaker 1: whole first season's there, and a lot of times until
Speaker 1: they've announced a second season, because I cannot tell you
Speaker 1: the number of shows where I've invested time they seem
Speaker 1: to be popular and then they just don't make them,
Speaker 1: or they take five years to make them again, and
Speaker 1: and so you get, why would I get emotionally invested
Speaker 1: in this thing if I'm just gonna get screwed on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think a lot of people feel
Speaker 2: that way, But by and large I think that this
Speaker 2: is good. We need to get things like WWE sports
Speaker 2: live events. We need to get these things onto streaming platforms,
Speaker 2: and really just try to break up what remains of
Speaker 2: the cable cartel. Consumer are spending so little time on
Speaker 2: cable TV packages, and sports really is the last frontier
Speaker 2: that needs to get broken up and distributed out. But
Speaker 2: in the end, what you're going to have is people
Speaker 2: who are carrying multiple twenty dollars packages, probably adding up
Speaker 2: to one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: dollars is sort of the average. If you have all
Speaker 2: of these things and then you end up worse off
Speaker 2: than when you had a really expensive cable package, and
Speaker 2: that's just going to be a problem. Or you could
Speaker 2: also argue that people will just stop watching as much
Speaker 2: television all together and just spend their time scrolling YouTube.
Speaker 1: Yeah I am. I'm more likely to watch a movie
Speaker 1: even if I don't have enough time for a full movie.
Speaker 1: A lot of times I just won't stream anything because again,
Speaker 1: it's the episode investment, and while they do produce a
Speaker 1: lot of movie I'm trying to I was just in
Speaker 1: my head trying to think of all the different streaming platforms,
Speaker 1: like I don't even know that I know all the
Speaker 1: ones that I have, cause like my HBO, my HBO
Speaker 1: is rolled into my phone bill because AT and T
Speaker 1: did an offer and it still does that. I've got Prime,
Speaker 1: but that's a shipping thing that happens to come with
Speaker 1: that peacock paramount. I don't have Hulu anymore. I don't
Speaker 1: have Disney anymore because I don't need any of the
Speaker 1: kids stuff. But it was only when there was a
Speaker 1: new Marvel movie. And now I'll just wait and dip
Speaker 1: in once a year, watch them and be done with it.
Speaker 1: So like you adapt, You're right, I've adapted how I'm
Speaker 1: doing it, and you kind of game it. It's just
Speaker 1: like this was supposed to make things easier and more available,
Speaker 1: and I just feel like it's it's more complicated. I
Speaker 1: used to know that if I want to watch the NFC,
Speaker 1: it was going to be on Fox. If the AFC
Speaker 1: was going to be on CBS Monday Night, it was
Speaker 1: going to be on ABC. That was it for for
Speaker 1: like a decade. And now the where I listed plus Prime,
Speaker 1: you know Prime has the Thursday night stuff, so we'll see.
Speaker 1: And also it comes down to the quality of what
Speaker 1: they're producing. And there's a lot of people very nervous
Speaker 1: because they're going to tackle the Chronicles of Narnia stuff again.
Speaker 1: And from a religious standpoint, there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: and their right to be suspect because Hollywood's Hollywood, who
Speaker 1: are sitting there looking at that, going are they going
Speaker 1: to try to pull all of the religious iconology out
Speaker 1: of this? What are they going to do? Greta Gerwig
Speaker 1: is tied into this. She's she's she's been a vocal
Speaker 1: leftists in but she's made some movies that are good,
Speaker 1: So it's like, where do you come down on this?
Speaker 1: Should people be nervous?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: So I expect that there's going to be a lot
Speaker 2: of controversy with Greta Gerwig's Narnia leading up to it.
Speaker 2: What I expect more than anything is the usual round
Speaker 2: of bad hype and actors saying things that they really
Speaker 2: shouldn't say when they're doing interviews, and producers saying stupid things.
Speaker 2: We've already had one of the executive producers for Greta
Speaker 2: Gerwig's Narnia series say that Greta is going to be
Speaker 2: having a quote very fresh take on Narnia and it's
Speaker 2: going to be quote rock and roll.
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: What does that mean? We don't really know. But if
Speaker 2: you get into the sort of YouTube hype space for
Speaker 2: this stuff, that's really bad because that sounds like revisionism,
Speaker 2: that sounds like modernism, that sounds like sort of an SJW.
Speaker 2: Whitewash of Narnia. So I want to lay all that
Speaker 2: out there, But then I want to tell you that
Speaker 2: I am optimistic about what Greta Gerwig could do here
Speaker 2: with Narnia and I'm happy to tell you why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, please? Did I have a follow up question that'll
Speaker 1: probably track with the so why are you optimistic?
Speaker 2: Gerwig does not have a hugely problematic track record of
Speaker 2: saying bizarre leftist things in interviews. Her movies are typically
Speaker 2: focused on women and women's issues and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: which okay, fine, But Narnia is a place where she
Speaker 2: has just expressed through interviews a really detailed.
Speaker 5: Knowledge of C. S.
Speaker 2: Lewis's take on theology or reverence for it. She grew
Speaker 2: up Catholic, in my understanding is that she is no
Speaker 2: longer a person who believes in God, but she loves
Speaker 2: and misses Church is something that she has talked about.
Speaker 2: She thinks it's a beautiful system of ideas, and I
Speaker 2: think that she is someone who really really wants to
Speaker 2: believe in what those ideas are about, and Narnia is
Speaker 2: sort of her expression of that. If we are charitable,
Speaker 2: I think that she's actually going to take this quite seriously.
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's going to be some sort
Speaker 2: of far left redoing of Narnia.
Speaker 4: I really can't.
Speaker 1: I and I hope you're right. And here's and here's
Speaker 1: the thing too, you don't have to. I don't think
Speaker 1: you have to necessarily be a believer. And maybe some
Speaker 1: people would disagree with me to be able to be
Speaker 1: loyal to source material, right, because even if you just
Speaker 1: break it down to words and characters and you better
Speaker 1: make sure they're in there, that that's fine. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of the Henry Cavill with the Witcher stuff, right.
Speaker 1: But that ended up getting him in trouble. I ended
Speaker 1: up getting him in trouble because the director producer lady
Speaker 1: was I saw the interview where she you could tell
Speaker 1: she hated that he liked the material because he would
Speaker 1: he would speak up and and be vocal about it,
Speaker 1: whereas he was the actor. Gerwig is the producer, right,
Speaker 1: and the director probably the director and producer. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: there's there's a little more control. But I saw Gerwig
Speaker 1: doing an interview years ago with who was Harvey Weinstein's
Speaker 1: assistant who decided to give.
Speaker 2: The accolade and Star Wars, Yeah, Leslie.
Speaker 1: Headland, Headland. Yeah. I saw her in Headland talking about
Speaker 1: all that feminist stuff, and so I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. But the difference is people think that the
Speaker 1: fans won't give them a chance. To your point, if
Speaker 1: you just don't do an interview where you tell half
Speaker 1: or most of your intended audience that they're dumb prior
Speaker 1: to it, that would probably go a long way.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is where I think most movies go
Speaker 2: awry is in the press tour, where actors and directors
Speaker 2: say just really bizarre things about the audience and about
Speaker 2: their intentions behind the movie.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: You and I debated when Barbie came out whether or
Speaker 2: not this was a super woke movie or if it
Speaker 2: was just feminism one point oh, And I think it's
Speaker 2: really importance to distinguish between woke politics and feminism. I mean,
Speaker 2: woke politics hates feminism, where like feminism.
Speaker 1: It's just tell you, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: There are things that are just for women, and that
Speaker 2: men and women are very different and they have different
Speaker 2: interests and men are sometimes very bad to women.
Speaker 3: Wokis hate that stuff.
Speaker 2: They think that women don't exist, and that I think
Speaker 2: is sort of important to give Greta Gerwig that creative
Speaker 2: space to be a feminist one point zero and not
Speaker 2: accuser of being woke. But this is going to come
Speaker 2: out in twenty twenty six on Thanksgiving on Netflix it's
Speaker 2: going to be a blockbuster for Netflix if it is good,
Speaker 2: and it will, I'm sorry. It will first be in theaters,
Speaker 2: excuse me, theaters November twenty twenty six. It will be
Speaker 2: in theaters for two to four weeks, and then it
Speaker 2: will hit Netflix for Christmas. And it is it is
Speaker 2: a Christmas movie Narnia.
Speaker 5: But I got to tell you, I.
Speaker 2: Think there will be a little bit of disconnect if
Speaker 2: it's not the Lion, the.
Speaker 3: Witch and the Wardrobe.
Speaker 2: And Gerwig has said that that's not where she intends
Speaker 2: to start.
Speaker 1: Well, I've read all I've read the whole series. As
Speaker 1: a kid, we were that thing out. So I look,
Speaker 1: if you're a true fan and there is some loyalty
Speaker 1: just because they people have been bait and switched so much,
Speaker 1: it'll probably go a long way. And around the Christmas
Speaker 1: season is probably very smart marketing.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: I didn't even get into video game stuff, but maybe
Speaker 1: we'll do that next week. Real quick, thirty seconds. How
Speaker 1: insane is DC right now? Around you? Everyone just losing
Speaker 1: their minds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, things have calmed down quite a bit, but yeah,
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people I think looking at
Speaker 2: their savings accounts, their investments and their pensions and wondering
Speaker 2: if they can retire early, and that is part of
Speaker 2: draining the swamp.
Speaker 1: Well, all right, drain away. We'll chat soon. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Have a good one.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Stephen Kent, you're here on
Speaker 1: the KCO Day radio program. I mentioned video game. I'll
Speaker 1: mention what I saw because I had to have Ross
Speaker 1: confirm it for me. We'll do that coming up next.
Speaker 1: Hang on, dang it, I hate that Ross. You ever
Speaker 1: do that where you're like you're just reading something you
Speaker 1: accidentally pulled down too far and now it reloads and
Speaker 1: whatever you were reading is never to be found again.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can go, I'll search. In fact, so
Speaker 1: Benjamin net and Yahoo tweeted a defense of Elon Musk
Speaker 1: over salute gait or whatever. I didn't. I didn't think
Speaker 1: it was funny. Yesterday, Scott Jennings was on CNN calling
Speaker 1: his panelists salute truthers. I don't know why. All right,
Speaker 1: So net Yahoo tweets out, I'm gonna find this because
Speaker 1: it's just so damn funny. All right, here we go,
Speaker 1: here we go. All right, So this is one hour ago.
Speaker 1: He said, Elon Musk is being falsely smeared Elon's a
Speaker 1: great friend of Israel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not that
Speaker 1: that's that's not the funny part. What do you think
Speaker 1: the comments underneath it are retweeting this now? All right?
Speaker 1: So just repost that if you go to Casey on
Speaker 1: the Radio or it's the top thing on net now
Speaker 1: Who's Twitter account? If you want to head over there,
Speaker 1: Ross you haven't seen this one. If you had to guess,
Speaker 1: what do you think the comments are to Benjamin nett
Speaker 1: Yahoo saying that it wasn't a Nazi salute Elon's a
Speaker 1: friend of Israel.
Speaker 6: Mean the craziest thing that they're probably saying that Benjamin Netanya,
Speaker 6: who is a Nazi.
Speaker 1: There's a little of that, but he also doesn't understand.
Speaker 1: He didn't get it. I remember one of the funniest
Speaker 1: thing exchanges I ever saw on Twitter. There's an author
Speaker 1: I think his name is Chase Noa no Savage, Luke sav.
Speaker 1: All right, so there's an author who wrote he wrote
Speaker 1: a book or I wrote an article like an elongated article,
Speaker 1: and he posted he posted a link to it, and
Speaker 1: then somebody under it was like, well, here's what the
Speaker 1: author really meant, and then it was just woke garbage
Speaker 1: right where it was clear they were clearly trying to
Speaker 1: interpret which was not not a woke thing. And the
Speaker 1: guy's like, actually the author means this, and Savage, without
Speaker 1: identifying himself, goes, well, no it doesn't. He goes, I
Speaker 1: know the comedy. I goes, I know the author, and
Speaker 1: it was. And then when the guy, when the dude
Speaker 1: told him he was the author, the guy doubled down.
Speaker 1: He goes, well, here's what you really meant. So, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious watching some Luna lunatics that they're telling net Yahoo.
Speaker 1: He doesn't understand anti semitism. Okay, all right, if that
Speaker 1: works for you, all right, real quickly. I mentioned the
Speaker 1: video game thing, and here's why, because again I I
Speaker 1: don't have zero knowledge of video games, but compared to
Speaker 1: like Ross and probably Steven to some extent, it's very limited.
Speaker 1: And I saw this poll and it was done by
Speaker 1: like PC gamer or something whatever, and it was about
Speaker 1: the upcoming GTA title and it but in the end
Speaker 1: it it said, so the game, the minimum costs for
Speaker 1: the game is expected to be one hundred dollars. And
Speaker 1: that's of course, you know with games, they tear it,
Speaker 1: so you can spend the minimum or you can spend
Speaker 1: a whole hell of a lot more. Do will you
Speaker 1: be purchasing it? Now? This isn't scientific, but what I
Speaker 1: found wild one. I didn't realize they were in charge
Speaker 1: of one hundred dollars for a game minimum, But also seventy
Speaker 1: percent said no, not touching this, Like twenty percent said yes.
Speaker 1: The rest are mushy middle a game like that, I
Speaker 1: would assume saturation is far in excess of thirty percent
Speaker 1: in the market. So what's up with that?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 6: Is that really the attitude they've been saying for a
Speaker 6: while that it's going to be like a like a
Speaker 6: one hundred dollars game. Now, their games have already gone
Speaker 6: up in the past few years, like what was sixties
Speaker 6: now seventy, And what you've been seeing is a lot
Speaker 6: of games have been coming out with that's the standard now.
Speaker 6: So the typical cost of a game is sixty nine
Speaker 6: to ninety nine. That's how much is going to cost you,
Speaker 6: and like the.
Speaker 1: Yay, yeah I did, I just went through the Diablo
Speaker 1: thing now, but.
Speaker 6: They also release versions that are one hundred dollars or more.
Speaker 6: You've seen this with like Space Marine and other different
Speaker 6: games where it's like you can get that that version
Speaker 6: of the game, or you can get this version of
Speaker 6: the game that comes with like all the future dealc's
Speaker 6: less micro transactions, but it's like over one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: So it's pay to play upfront, yes, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 6: So the theory is in the gaming industry because there's
Speaker 6: some people in the gaming industry that are like, well,
Speaker 6: this is really good for games because players people would
Speaker 6: rather pay the one hundred dollars and not have any
Speaker 6: micro transactions then buy a game for sixty seventy bucks
Speaker 6: and then you know, you end up spending even more
Speaker 6: on that in the micro transactions, whereas I say, I
Speaker 6: don't like playing any of the games that have any
Speaker 6: of the micro transactions when I find out there. But
Speaker 6: the other thing about the GTA game is there's big
Speaker 6: rumors that it's going to be woke, which.
Speaker 1: Is and this was where I was going to go
Speaker 1: with Steven, because if DC's doing what they're doing, college
Speaker 1: campuses who want public money are also going to have
Speaker 1: to divorce themselves a lot of this DEI stuff. The
Speaker 1: military is going to be purging it. If what Trump
Speaker 1: is hoping to do is accomplished. And if companies aren't
Speaker 1: beholden to ESG scores so that they can get working
Speaker 1: capital to literally stay in business, they're not going to
Speaker 1: be incentivized because now it's just a carry costs that
Speaker 1: you don't need. How long before it it like, if
Speaker 1: you're a video game development company, how many times have
Speaker 1: we talked about insanity like the Dragon game where they like,
Speaker 1: I'm non binary like all this stuff. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's like we just talked about all of this stuff,
Speaker 1: and so does it de incentivize the game companies?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: Like where is that trickle down effect? If in fact
Speaker 1: GTA six is woke because of all the massive losses
Speaker 1: they're taking, this seems like the easy answer. I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer to that. Speaking of CNN real quick,
Speaker 1: CNN is uh, hold on, Mark, here we go. H
Speaker 1: new report out CNN plans left hundreds of employees to
Speaker 1: cut costs. NBC as well, Uh, there's there, there's a
Speaker 1: lot a lot of changes, changes coming down the pipe.
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here and one don't fire Scott Jennings
Speaker 1: if you keep anybody there, but people like Jim Acosta, like, listen,
Speaker 1: this guy doesn't get it. He's doing nothing to try
Speaker 1: to retain his position.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 1: I gotta think of costa real quick.
Speaker 12: Let's listen to this covering the first Trump administration when
Speaker 12: they had riding outside uh of the White House. I
Speaker 12: mean that was covered on CN on what you're saying
Speaker 12: this is, this is not.
Speaker 1: Starting to Republican Congress.
Speaker 12: Just spin a tail and pull the wool out of
Speaker 12: people's eyes.
Speaker 13: Now, this is CNN, this is the news.
Speaker 1: We're a By the way, I just said, you can't
Speaker 1: spin a tail and lie to Rep. Tim Timber for.
Speaker 14: Truth, and that's why more people are watching the cartoon
Speaker 14: network SpongeBob reruns right now. Jim, Look, I left the
Speaker 14: White House hearing a riot. My life was threatened. My
Speaker 14: life has been threatened within the last few weeks. Yet
Speaker 14: there's no coverage of that, and you all continue this
Speaker 14: narrative of trap attacking Trump. You just can't stand the
Speaker 14: fact that he won.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so some big changes might be coming there,
Speaker 1: so I don't look. My point is, whether it's video games,
Speaker 1: CNN or any of the rest, are they or aren't
Speaker 1: they going to follow suit. That's the thing I'm going
Speaker 1: to be very interested to keep watching. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get let's watch the weather, shall we with race? Yeah sure,
Speaker 1: all right, watch away, sir, go ahead, Yeah yeah, well
Speaker 1: let's just go.
Speaker 8: Because now final totals east of us where they were
Speaker 8: heaviest to come in, and it was nine at the
Speaker 8: right BROTHERERS National Museum nine inches of snow, and I
Speaker 8: got an eight and a half at Lowland, North Carolina
Speaker 8: and Hatteras eight inch. I mean, just crazy numbers. Even
Speaker 8: South Carolina, the beaches they had snowfall. And now we're
Speaker 8: still getting something from the weather services. There still may
Speaker 8: be some patchy ice in spots, especially the shady areas,
Speaker 8: but the recovery we'll continue with temperatures mid upper thirties today.
Speaker 8: I'll probably be around forty on either side of that
Speaker 8: on Friday, and then Saturday in the little mid forties,
Speaker 8: and we'll crack fifty by Sunday. And all these days
Speaker 8: under high pressure. It will be sunny, even though overlight
Speaker 8: lows are gonna come up, still going to be in
Speaker 8: the teens in some spots the tryad West Tomorrow morning
Speaker 8: near twenty for the triangle, and then we'll keep that
Speaker 8: for Saturday morning. Then Sunday load to mid twenties and
Speaker 8: probably near freezing for an overnight low Monday morning, which
Speaker 8: may lead to some light frozen precipitation. We have to
Speaker 8: see on that doesn't look like it's going to be
Speaker 8: all that aggressive, but temperatures are going to be marginal.
Speaker 8: We'll see if the presep gets in here Monday morning, Casey,
Speaker 8: before we see temperatures rise above freezing. But other than that,
Speaker 8: the warm up continue next week. We've got a shot
Speaker 8: at least a shot at maybe sixty in sub spots
Speaker 8: by Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I'll feel like ninety. All right, Thanks, appreciate it, Have
Speaker 1: a good one and we'll come back. Chat with Jeff
Speaker 1: Bellinger next. Jeff Bellinger with us, Jeff, what's happening?
Speaker 13: Welcome morning, Casey. Stocks advanced in midweek trading. The major
Speaker 13: affages had gains that range from three tenths percent to
Speaker 13: one and three tenths percent. The stock market futures have
Speaker 13: been mixed all morning. S and P futures down six
Speaker 13: points and the NASDAC futures down one hundred and three.
Speaker 13: The Dow futures, though, are up forty two points now.
Speaker 13: Shares of Alaska Air moved higher and after hours trading
Speaker 13: the carrier began, became the latest airline to post better
Speaker 13: than expected fourth quarter results. Alaska Air's first quarter guidance
Speaker 13: also top forecasts. The median price of a home here
Speaker 13: in the US increased nearly five percent and twenty twenty
Speaker 13: four to a record three hundred fifty thousand dollars. This
Speaker 13: according to ADAM, home values went up and just over
Speaker 13: ninety percent of the markets that were reviewed. Couple of
Speaker 13: reports out this morning suggest many Americans' personal finances are
Speaker 13: tight right now. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphias as
Speaker 13: a record share of credit cardholders are paying just the
Speaker 13: minimum every month, and bank rates. Latest survey found a
Speaker 13: majority of Americans could not cover an unexpected one thousand
Speaker 13: dollars expense from their savings. Just forty one percent of
Speaker 13: respondent said their emergency savings were enough to handle such
Speaker 13: an expense, and a proposed class action casey accuses Apple
Speaker 13: of hiding the fact that the bands on the company's
Speaker 13: smart watches contain excessive amounts of forever chemicals. The suit,
Speaker 13: filed in a California federal court, says Apple leads watch
Speaker 13: buyers to think the devices can improve their health, but
Speaker 13: chemicals in the watch bands can be harmful.
Speaker 1: Casey, all right, thank you, sir, do appreciate it. We'll
Speaker 1: chat tomorrow.
Speaker 13: Sounds good talk to you then.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. This
Speaker 1: is interesting. So how do they think people aren't going
Speaker 1: to be able to figure this out? So the sister
Speaker 1: in law of Pete HeiG Seth's second wife, the one
Speaker 1: who swears that this thing happened even though haig Seth
Speaker 1: and the former wife both deny it, that is being
Speaker 1: used to attempt to hold up his nomination. Are you
Speaker 1: guys sitting down? Everybody's sitting down. It's gonna be very shocking.
Speaker 1: You know where she works or who she works with?
Speaker 1: And for the Democrat ranking member on the Armed Services Committee,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna repeat this, the ranking member who is that?
Speaker 1: Adam Smith? I think the carterssman from California. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: works as a partner of the law firm with the woman.
Speaker 1: Is it a coincidence? I don't know, maybe, but that's
Speaker 1: an interesting little nugget there. You can still go over
Speaker 1: the page and see their smiling faces there. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's just a coincidence. I wouldn't worry too
Speaker 1: much about that.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things too, is Trump sat
Speaker 1: down for a first interview. I guess he's done well.
Speaker 1: I mean he did do some Q and A obviously
Speaker 1: in the Oval office. Who remember that telling that reporter
Speaker 1: to hush. The reporter apologized to by the way, that
Speaker 1: was kind of a funny exchange. But Trump's dropping some
Speaker 1: little hints in there and some little of this, a
Speaker 1: little that people trying to pick up where we're headed
Speaker 1: for this thing, and this was a rather interesting one
Speaker 1: if you want to try to read into this, or
Speaker 1: maybe you don't even have to.
Speaker 5: Sky want to run giving everybody partons and you.
Speaker 1: Know that talking about Biden.
Speaker 13: Obviously Skut wont to run giving everybody partons. And you
Speaker 13: know the funny thing, maybe the sad thing is he
Speaker 13: didn't give himself a part.
Speaker 5: And if you look at it, it all had to
Speaker 5: do with him.
Speaker 1: I'm now more convinced that Baron, that's what Baron Trump
Speaker 1: told him something along those lines were coming for you,
Speaker 1: or you didn't pardon yourself. I did see the because
Speaker 1: you can only see his lips for a few moments
Speaker 1: because of how Baron speaks, where you kind of see
Speaker 1: it on the angle and then he turns his head
Speaker 1: and then you can see the last part of what
Speaker 1: he says. And they were trying to do the lip
Speaker 1: reader thing. And I don't know, man, because a lot
Speaker 1: of times with lip reader stuff, once they tell you
Speaker 1: that this is what you should look for, your brain
Speaker 1: may try to attach to it rather than being, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to evaluate whether it's accurate. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm sure Trump when he's sitting in a room
Speaker 1: somewhere and Baron's in there, maybe Milania's in there, and
Speaker 1: a couple advisors, maybe the chief of staff, I'm sure
Speaker 1: he opened he says this stuff. And I'm sure as
Speaker 1: they were sitting on the campaign trail there and then
Speaker 1: they were in DC, you know, for everything with the inauguration,
Speaker 1: his whole family's there. You know, we saw there was
Speaker 1: that video that emerged of Trump sitting there with his
Speaker 1: now comms director, the White House Press director who is
Speaker 1: his comms director at the time, who we interviewed Miss Levitt,
Speaker 1: And you saw the process in that video of how
Speaker 1: Trump tweets, where she's sitting there with the laptop and
Speaker 1: he's just he's watching stuff and I think he was
Speaker 1: watching Kamala A Kamala's speech or something, and he's just
Speaker 1: barking out the tweets. She's typing them. He's making comments
Speaker 1: to everybody who's in the room. So he talks. Sure,
Speaker 1: that's going to permeate the brain of the people around him,
Speaker 1: especially people who have suffered indignities because of Trump's position.
Speaker 1: You know, this is what happens with kids of president's
Speaker 1: man or kids of famous people for that matter. It
Speaker 1: goes they either resent the who attack them unfairly or
Speaker 1: the people that they love, or they end up resenting
Speaker 1: their parents for putting them in that position. You see
Speaker 1: this stuff all the time. So yeah, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: Trump has brought this up just in conversation around there
Speaker 1: and they It wouldn't surprise me, to say the very least.
Speaker 1: All Right, one more quick thing. Oh, it's right, because
Speaker 1: we hit Jeff early. I actually got a couple more
Speaker 1: minutes than I used to or than I normally do.
Speaker 1: Why is this not loading? Okay, here it goes, so
Speaker 1: we'll get into this more. Do you think it's worth
Speaker 1: the time to do another January sixth panel? In this case,
Speaker 1: it would be to invest the investigate the investigators. But
Speaker 1: remember the investigators who were on that committee themselves got pardons.
Speaker 1: Although the one chick who is said to have lied
Speaker 1: at the behest of chaining, she was not on the
Speaker 1: pardon list. Former staffer for Trump who ended up And
Speaker 1: you saw this whole exchange message message exchange, and so
Speaker 1: you know there are pieces to it, and that was
Speaker 1: a big Remember this is the woman. Her name escapes
Speaker 1: to me, it doesn't matter. She's the one who claimed
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump tried to punch the Secret Service driver
Speaker 1: of the Beast or attacked you remember that insane allegation
Speaker 1: that he was attacking. It was part of the January
Speaker 1: sixth narrative because I don't remember the motivator. He wanted
Speaker 1: to go over there, he didn't, and he physically accosted
Speaker 1: a Secret Service member, which does that make any sense
Speaker 1: to you? But you could see that Cheney was the
Speaker 1: one really leading that to fruition. So even though the
Speaker 1: committee members may be covered, jack Smith's not covered. There
Speaker 1: was a report out yesterday that Jack Smith had requested
Speaker 1: a pardon and that either Biden or some of his
Speaker 1: top staff said, no, you failed us. You're on your own.
Speaker 1: That's cold. Man
