WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>So I am broadcasting this week from our Greensboro facility.

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm all over the place, man, because all week

3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm here in Greensboro, come back to come back to

4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Raleigh for one, and then I'm headed down to the

5
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>coast to an event. Yes, I know, they just got

6
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of snow out there in the outer Banks.

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 1>But we're going to be up in Beaufort. Well, I

8
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>am ross Is ross Ain't coming but at the Beaufort

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Hotel because we have our big Bourbon uh uh you know,

10
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Battle of the Barrels is what it's called at the

11
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Beaufort Hotel going out there. We got some listeners, we

12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 1>gave away a trip, so congrats to our winter there.

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And this is this is going to be reps from

14
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>like all the biggest names in Bourbon, you know, the

15
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>ones you'll want with the special stuff. And that's coupled

16
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 1>with a dinner a really really really great right struant

17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>there that's part of the Beaufort Hotel. In fact, probably

18
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the best shrimping this is gonna start a fight. Probably

19
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the best shrimping grits or top three shrimp and grits

20
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 1>I've ever had, and I have been salivating ever since

21
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>we put this thing together. Probably have that for two

22
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of the meals, but not the main meal because they're

23
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna go five star chef on this thing, so that'll

24
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>be pair with the with the really really nice bourbon.

25
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 1>They have room specials for under one hundred bucks. It's

26
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>like a mini v K and we need it after

27
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>this week. So at our Greensboro facility, it's it's brand new.

28
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>We're in high Points. Specifically, we're in downtown high Point

29
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>if you where the ballpark is right there where they

30
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>have the big food hole down there, which is what

31
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a great location. I'm glad I don't broadcast out of

32
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Greensboro every day because I think i'd be three hundred pounds.

33
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 1>And the barbecue joined under me is fantastic. But anyway,

34
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>so I am. I'm sitting there and you know, it's

35
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>all future and so literally part of the way I

36
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>don't maybe I shouldn't say that there is a really

37
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a newer way that involves your phone to be

38
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>able to get in through one of our secure there's

39
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 1>multiple security apparatus. So don't don't start nothing you don't

40
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>want to finish. But what I did not realize is

41
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 1>I was standing outside in ten degree rather this morning.

42
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Ross is that if you misscan it, it times you

43
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>out for two minutes. And I did it twice because

44
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, my hand is like, it's cold as hell, man,

45
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and I'm standing on the outside of the building. So

46
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like sitting there and I have to stand

47
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 1>there for two minutes. And then I did the same

48
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>thing because I you know, I do the Greensboro broadcasts intermittently,

49
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and so I've been standing. I was literally it's the

50
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>coldest I've been in a while. And I'm a kid

51
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>who grew up Wyoming, lived in Minneapolis for eight years.

52
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>So we need to be done with this, man. And

53
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I know some of you are going outside jobs today

54
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>and you're just like, God, screw you. But you got

55
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to understand, I'm not dressed for working outside. I'm dressed

56
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>for getting from the parking lot to the door and

57
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 1>into the warm studio. So I but you know, don't

58
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 1>give me that. I've worked many a day outside much

59
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>colder than this, and I wouldn't just be wearing a pullover.

60
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Look I'm wearing. But yeah, so that that'll get you

61
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>up this morning. So if you're you dragging a little.

62
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>You need something to get you going this morning. And

63
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I probably won't scream about Tom Tillis the whole show today,

64
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>but probably some of it, and that'll that'll wake you up.

65
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>You give me be up and at him. The won't

66
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>be any problems there, so uh, there you go, all right,

67
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 1>coming up on the h on the show today, I

68
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 1>can move one of these backwards left handed mice that

69
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 1>our boss uh screws up. Here we go. We're gonna

70
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>have to have a couple discussions, uh, the the DEI

71
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>casts off cast offs. I understand it's fun to go

72
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter x whatever and set tell them to learn

73
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>to code, which is deeply ironic because eventually a I'll

74
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>do it. So uh, there's that, but you know there's

75
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be a wholesale rejection because well, at the

76
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>federal government, Trump's just like this stuff's done and we'll

77
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>explain what they've done so var because it's not done

78
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>done yet, and then how employees are responding to it.

79
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of shenanigans afoot, a lot of it.

80
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 1>And I hope that there's a lot of eyeballs that

81
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 1>are watching this. And uh, I think I have a

82
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>solution here, and and then it goes out into companies

83
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 1>or institutions, whether they are n g o's, you know,

84
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>non governmental organizations that that contract government contractors, universities that

85
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>get dollars public dollars. And then the next step is

86
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 1>the private sector who follows suit. Because the private sector

87
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>realizes that no longer are they going to have to

88
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 1>maintain these score so that they can work, you know,

89
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 1>they have access to working capital, which is how so

90
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 1>much of this got crammed down Corporate America's throat. They

91
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 1>went to companies that utilize working capital, you know, big, big,

92
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest companies ever who literally have to draw

93
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.519
<v Speaker 1>on this stuff from black Rock and some of these

94
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>others who these were conditions of it, and so because

95
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 1>they had to do business, they met the conditions. And

96
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>so I find it deeply ironic where people are streaming

97
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that the government. Are the governments out there influencing this This,

98
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 1>this entire industry likely would never have exist did if

99
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>not forced by people in a position to strangle a

100
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>company's ability to exist, Because think of companies and think

101
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 1>of how much it costs to get paper clips sometimes

102
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>or you know, your your M and E for those

103
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>of you who travel, they you know, that got impacted.

104
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>They stopped her for a one match, and you can

105
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 1>call it greed, you can call it whatever you want

106
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to call different companies or in different states, and and

107
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>realize that that's a big line item on the budget

108
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of companies and they're always looking for

109
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 1>something to purge. And if they're no longer held hostage

110
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>by having to get the access to the money along

111
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>with the you know, the cancel culture that was around things,

112
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to have an incentive to maintain big

113
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>departments of this or pay people like that really really

114
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 1>fat chick who wears the tightest clas I wouldnt even

115
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>comment on her size, but like she wears this Spandex

116
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff and then stands in front of a whiteboard going

117
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>all white people are racist, and then you find out

118
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>what they pay her or that Ebrahm ken d X

119
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:25.439
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. I mean. These are easily a manager's salaries

120
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>for like a two day thing, like an annual salary

121
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>for a middle manager for just you know, a three

122
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>hour thing a workshop. And then there's the staff you maintain.

123
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And there are a lot of people which this is

124
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 1>what they were educated in they hold these degrees. The

125
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>degrees have weird names, but they're all DEI. And so

126
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you're about to have I don't even know what the

127
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 1>number is. You're about to have fifty thousand, one hundred thousand,

128
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>probably more if you get into some of the ancillary

129
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff where they don't have job prospects in their big

130
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>old degree that they just paid a gazin and they're

131
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>still paying on. So there's a lot of panic, there's

132
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of repositioning, and it doesn't change the underlying

133
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>fact that that the DEI stuff and any employee who

134
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>would expouse it and believes it, believes that everyone is

135
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>inherently racist, has stemied companies ability to recruit people because

136
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the companies have a big DEI office. And if you

137
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>are somebody who is not going who is going to

138
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.919
<v Speaker 1>be seen as an oppressor, well maybe you don't go

139
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 1>work for that company because you realize you're probably limited

140
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>with upward mobility. So even if they change their name,

141
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.039
<v Speaker 1>even if they do what I'm going to tell you

142
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that they're up to, the fact remains that it is

143
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>still a cancer within your company. And I'm not talking

144
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>about HR and providing fair working conditions and dealing with

145
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 1>employees who do things like discriminate against people, but now

146
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 1>it has to be all across the board and standardized

147
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>HR departments, even with a modern adaptation, are capable of that.

148
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>So if you have if you have on your LinkedIn

149
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>that you're a a DEI officer, a lot of them

150
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>are changing their labels HR professional and so now if

151
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 1>you are a company who's hiring an HR professional and

152
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 1>you've wanted to get rid of that DEI culture, the

153
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>onus is on you to really figure out who you're hiring,

154
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>which is really bad news for people who are all

155
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>in on this, because you've got to be all in

156
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>on the grift and they'll take that same attitude. Federal

157
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:55.039
<v Speaker 1>employees are literally shuffling. There have been several DEI officers

158
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 1>for departments within the US government where the person has

159
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>went and changed their title to something very generic, changed

160
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 1>their LinkedIn. They're literally their official government title, which obviously

161
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>required higher ups within you know where they work, Department

162
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>of State. There was two in there. I was reading

163
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 1>about to UH to maintain this. They're also gathering and

164
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>UH and and gathering all of the DEI stuff right,

165
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff that likely UH is you know, in

166
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>the case of the State Department, Marco Rubio or has

167
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:37.039
<v Speaker 1>ordered essentially purge from the system, and they're creating like uh,

168
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>cleverly labeled backup stuff so that they because they think

169
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 1>in four years they can just turn the spigot on again.

170
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>You can't dismantle this enough. And I and I don't

171
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 1>think they're thinking this through. So what do you do? What? What? What?

172
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.399
<v Speaker 1>How do you How are those people going to go for?

173
00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>And what does what does it mean when they're unable

174
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to because you're dealing in a lot of cases, you're

175
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 1>dealing with a religion for all practical purposes. Right, you're

176
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>not telling somebody that instead of doing music radio, let's

177
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>switch you over to talk radio because you know there's

178
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 1>more opportunity. And like I made that transition, I made

179
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>it on my own. You're looking at people who the

180
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>mere suggestion that they don't do the one thing anymore

181
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 1>is akin to you denouncing their god because they believe

182
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 1>that strongly. Will there be violence? I don't know, I

183
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>hope not. These are all things that you have to

184
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>think about. And so I think if you are one

185
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>of these think tanks, one of these organists, whether it's

186
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the Heritage Foundation or whatever. I think that right now,

187
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 1>there needs to be an organization the catalogs who all

188
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of the DEI people are. And it's not a blacklist.

189
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>But you can't sit here and decide that all of

190
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>a sudden you're going to operate in the same way

191
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 1>and just change your name even though you're on the

192
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 1>public dole and this ideology has been expressly rejected. But also,

193
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you're going to do any good telling

194
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 1>them all to learn to make fries. No, no, no,

195
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>I think that where they're going to end up is

196
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>where somebody with a degree and a little bit of

197
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>extra schooling can find themselves, and that's in your kids classrooms.

198
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 1>You may not have that one hundred and fifty thousand

199
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:49.279
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year DEI position at you know, pick whatever

200
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>it is, and yeah, you'd be working for less money,

201
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 1>but it's pretty it's a pretty transferable thing if you

202
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>have the degree, and then you add on the educational

203
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and the practicum or whatever they call it where the

204
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.879
<v Speaker 1>student teachers come in, and and then now you got

205
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 1>more woke ideology jammed into your kid's school. Like, I

206
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what this looks like, I think it's an

207
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 1>interesting conversation, but that's the only logical place I can Yeah,

208
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.879
<v Speaker 1>this is a here's how woke federal employees can keep

209
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 1>DEI alive in defiance of Trump's order. And it does

210
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good breakdown, pretty good breakdown of how they're

211
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.720
<v Speaker 1>going through and uh and and literally they're creating like

212
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.639
<v Speaker 1>dry hard drive, hidden hard drives of all the DEI

213
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff because they think in four years, in one day,

214
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>they can flip the switch and it's back. So will

215
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.960
<v Speaker 1>it be a pause or will it be a complete

216
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 1>reorganization of how this stuff is integrated into everything that

217
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.840
<v Speaker 1>we do at a governmental level and within the company

218
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you work? And I don't know the answer to that.

219
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I I I don't. And you know, lastly we need

220
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 1>is more Antifa. University of Washington screwed up. Antifa literally

221
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>took some Turning Point USA speakers and who are who

222
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>are flanked by police and they barricaded them into a room,

223
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 1>which is kidnapping. I thought, and and uh and and

224
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>they have the they have it surrounded. There's video online

225
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 1>this morning. There's two cops they're standing there. There's like

226
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>fifty Antifa out there. They're beating on the doors in

227
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the windows, even though they've said they've locked them down

228
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>so they can't leave. Even Trump administration's going to pull

229
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 1>dollars if this stuff is happening, and the University of

230
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Washington knows it. Harvard just had a bunch of a

231
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>bunch of dollars pulled from them because they're refusing to change.

232
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be. It's gonna be. It's not gonna

233
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:57.679
<v Speaker 1>be pretty and smooth. Just prepare yourself. So well, we'll

234
00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>get into a couple other things there. I got a

235
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy costco story we'll get to. And Eric Swallwell decided

236
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.919
<v Speaker 1>to send the dumbest tweet I've seen of this presidency

237
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:13.759
<v Speaker 1>so far. So kudos to to that guy, because holy crap.

238
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Man.

239
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>In fact, let me read it to you and then

240
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.639
<v Speaker 1>we'll go to break and you can ponder the information

241
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 1>he's provided and think, you know, let me know if

242
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you agree with him. All right, you're ready here it

243
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>is this is This is the Chinese spy hooker upper dude. Okay,

244
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 1>And I wanted to Nuki that one time. He says,

245
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>there's not been a day in America where more cops

246
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>were hurt in a single event than January sixth. For

247
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.559
<v Speaker 1>his first act as president, Trump releases every rider who

248
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 1>attacked and hert cops. This is the joker releasing the

249
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.799
<v Speaker 1>lunatics of the asylum. Oh no, he didn't see the

250
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>second joker, did he? Oh yeah, that's okay. A lot

251
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 1>of people didn't spoiler. Yeah, yees. Single deadliest day for

252
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.159
<v Speaker 1>the for the kid. You know that for police is

253
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>January sixth. Think about that. We'll be right back. It's

254
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty five. Welcome back here on the Cacoday radio program.

255
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>This is this is an easy answer, but it's so

256
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>easy it requires not just him not to know, but

257
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>for him to understand that he's trolling, but says it

258
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 1>anyway and then attempt to align himself as well. We

259
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 1>are the party of law enforcement because we're matic Trump

260
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>over the commutation part of his orders that he signed.

261
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Eric Swallwell tweeting there has not been a day in

262
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 1>America where more cops were hurt in a single event

263
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>than January sixth, And then he puts some other stuff

264
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 1>in there, basically talking about j six stuff that's not

265
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.919
<v Speaker 1>only provably false. You don't even have to go to

266
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.759
<v Speaker 1>the big exam. Do you know what I mean, you don't.

267
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:08.279
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to invoke nine to eleven, which is

268
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the obvious answer. Right, you can go to Dallas, you know,

269
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>before they blew that guy up with the robot there,

270
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:20.759
<v Speaker 1>which sadly I don't not video that I've seen that

271
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 1>dirt bag, or you can pick I don't know. And

272
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>now if you want to go with hurt in a

273
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>single day versus killed, then you know, at least at

274
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 1>least those those numbers gonna be higher. But in nine

275
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>to eleven, there were more police officers killed than were

276
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.920
<v Speaker 1>reportedly quote unquote injured. And by the way, the injured

277
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.720
<v Speaker 1>because they played so fast and loose over whether like

278
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>sick Nick died. You know, you still have politicians go,

279
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, they murdered a police officer that day. Well,

280
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:58.279
<v Speaker 1>that's not that's not true. That's not true. You I

281
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 1>guess you could still argue that the st rest of

282
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 1>it continued, but it's just not true because it's not

283
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean that they they did the autopsies, did multiple

284
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 1>autopsies on sick Nick. And I and I want to

285
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 1>be clear here because my position has not changed. It's

286
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I can only adapt it into the situation. We're here

287
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.799
<v Speaker 1>there were people who were absolutely violently attacking police. And

288
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about the police because people go, well

289
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.880
<v Speaker 1>they were hitting some of them with the you know,

290
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the rubber balls and all that stuff. You have to

291
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>go individual on stuff. But there were people. There's a

292
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 1>there was a guy with a flagpole who clearly cheap

293
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 1>shot at an officer with it. No no exactly what

294
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:43.039
<v Speaker 1>that dude's name is, but and the officer had been

295
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 1>among those officers that was standing and looking like they

296
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 1>were playing Bejeweled on their phone. I don't condone any

297
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>of that. The problem is is rather than targeting those

298
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.839
<v Speaker 1>individuals where and you could even throw the book at them,

299
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.559
<v Speaker 1>and I think people probably you decided you were going

300
00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:59.759
<v Speaker 1>to go and you were going to charge you know,

301
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.960
<v Speaker 1>seventy five year old dudes with a caine who are

302
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.799
<v Speaker 1>strolling give them, give them two years, and inflate a

303
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.599
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars charge. It is a known thing in DC

304
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and it was evidenced during the Kavanaugh disruptions of disrupting

305
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>proceedings and parading is the other one, and turn those

306
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.319
<v Speaker 1>into felonies and illegally so in many instances, according to

307
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court ruling, you had judges who the stuff

308
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that they allowed. I was I was reading a thing

309
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 1>this morning. I'm not a lawyer, but I've watched some

310
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Law and Order. Okay, maybe there's some lawyers listening this morning.

311
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:44.119
<v Speaker 1>If you're a lawyer and you're listening this morning, explain

312
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.839
<v Speaker 1>how this would be allowed into evidence. So there was

313
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:52.519
<v Speaker 1>one guy who he was given nineteen nineteen months he

314
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.519
<v Speaker 1>is There was a twenty two minute video, and the

315
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty two minute video was a montage of all the

316
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.119
<v Speaker 1>worst video, right, that officer getting struck with the flagpole,

317
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the one officer's got his hands in the door and

318
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they're slamming it and they busted up his hands, right,

319
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.079
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff that people absolutely agree in the ninety

320
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.279
<v Speaker 1>ninth percentile are our dirt bags that deserve to go

321
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.559
<v Speaker 1>to you know, go to jail. But that wasn't this dude.

322
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.839
<v Speaker 1>This dude isn't in any of those And then interspliced

323
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a twenty two minute greatest Hits

324
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.359
<v Speaker 1>or worst Hits? How everyone to describe it video is

325
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:39.440
<v Speaker 1>six seconds of this dude walking down a hall, walking

326
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>down a hall like a tourist, and then another eight

327
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 1>seconds here, and in total he was in the Capitol

328
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.240
<v Speaker 1>for eight minutes, and they know his path. He didn't

329
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:52.960
<v Speaker 1>touch anybody, He didn't touch anything. He walked through that

330
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>open door, spent eight minutes walking around. Look what's going

331
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.079
<v Speaker 1>on in here? What's going on here? Took some picture

332
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>left nineteen months but allowing a twenty two minute video

333
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:08.160
<v Speaker 1>where it's all the worst stuff, but in all the

334
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 1>worst stuff parts, he's not there. He's not even in

335
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.920
<v Speaker 1>proximity because they know his path. They charted his path

336
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:17.799
<v Speaker 1>because he kept, you know, pop up over here on

337
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 1>this camera and this camera, and they trace it around.

338
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>They know he didn't do anything. They didn't care. And

339
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 1>the judge, over the objections of his attorney, allowed that

340
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:36.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty two minute video which spliced him in doing nothing

341
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of you know, pretty awful stuff. And

342
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>once you start doing that, and the judge light, which,

343
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:51.119
<v Speaker 1>how would that not be prejudicial? How would that how

344
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.720
<v Speaker 1>would that not be prejudiced? That that would be like,

345
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're trying to tie I don't know, ross

346
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.559
<v Speaker 1>to nine to eleven, sorry, buddy, And and but you know,

347
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.559
<v Speaker 1>and then there's the here's the video of the planes,

348
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>here's the people jumping from the building. It's all emotionally taxing. Obviously,

349
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 1>we those of us who remember nine to eleven and

350
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and and everything we saw that day. And and here's

351
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Ross at Zukati Park, which is about a block away

352
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>getting a snow cone. But then you got all the

353
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.559
<v Speaker 1>other stuff like you would never allow that. Also, Ross

354
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:27.039
<v Speaker 1>had nothing to do with it was just an example.

355
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>My point is like, that's you don't even have to

356
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.880
<v Speaker 1>be a lawyer to go. That's insane. How would that

357
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.920
<v Speaker 1>be allowed? And it was because of the totality of

358
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>everything that this administration and this this this previous or

359
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.279
<v Speaker 1>this previous administration and Justice Department chose to do.

360
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:45.559
<v Speaker 3>That.

361
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>You you soured and and and you you you destroyed any

362
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.640
<v Speaker 1>sense of justice over the totality of it because of

363
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 1>what you were doing. When you start charging people who

364
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:04.440
<v Speaker 1>were there and you know they weren't there, including North

365
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 1>There's a guy in North Carolina, gotcha who wasn't there

366
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>and I think he was the he's like seventy veteran

367
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.359
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there, and they you know, didn't they didn't care.

368
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:26.000
<v Speaker 1>They didn't get him charged, but they essentially bankrupted him.

369
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 1>They essentially bankrupted him. And that was that was the goal.

370
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 1>If they couldn't get you charged, they were going to

371
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:39.599
<v Speaker 1>wear you down. I don't know if there's veracity to

372
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 1>the idea that J six those incarcerated were subject subjected

373
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to abuse above and beyond or just abuse in general.

374
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:55.039
<v Speaker 1>But there's some really really chilling accusations. And you know

375
00:23:55.119 --> 00:24:03.039
<v Speaker 1>why because as a totality, you have dehumaned those folks.

376
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:07.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's easy to do because there's so much politics

377
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 1>attached there. These are the dirt bags of all dirt bags.

378
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you've got it in your mind and you're

379
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:16.559
<v Speaker 1>willing to go along with that and not even evaluate

380
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 1>what's going on on an individualized basis, it becomes a

381
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 1>lot easier to do those things. So no, the potstars

382
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.440
<v Speaker 1>small Well can go ahead, and he can you know,

383
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:29.200
<v Speaker 1>he can do all of his little, uh, his little

384
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:34.400
<v Speaker 1>trolling here. But you know the fact remains that anyone

385
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:37.400
<v Speaker 1>willing to take an honest look at this should be

386
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:44.039
<v Speaker 1>horrified and then judge whether you think Trump should have

387
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 1>gone one by one, whether it should have just been

388
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a handful, and and then you know, you had to

389
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.119
<v Speaker 1>go through a hearing and a judy or if you

390
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 1>could look at the the whole thing, the whole thing

391
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and with the ability of having u you know, many

392
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of the folks who were who are actually accused and

393
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>or were convicted of attacking law enforcement or being violent

394
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in some other manner, perhaps to a counter protester. Right,

395
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you realize it's really hard to remove that stuff, and

396
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>most of them have served some time. And then you

397
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 1>couple it with the third factor that at the very

398
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:28.039
<v Speaker 1>same span of time you watch city after city decimated.

399
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 1>And yes, some people were charged, but the standard protocol

400
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>was not overcharging. In most cases, it was undercharging. I

401
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:44.160
<v Speaker 1>did many a story where somebody was out there and

402
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 1>you remember with the laser pointers where they literally blinded

403
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:54.160
<v Speaker 1>they literally blinded a federal law enforcement officer. That person

404
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>did under two years, and a bunch of others there

405
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 1>didn't even catch a jailable charge for it, even though

406
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 1>they were in on it. And because remember they were

407
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.559
<v Speaker 1>charging people who weren't even at January sixth, because they

408
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 1>posted that people should go there, there was an immense

409
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>double standard. And in Washington, d C. If you go up,

410
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 1>if you go up and you're some random dirt bag

411
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:24.559
<v Speaker 1>in DC and you punched a cop this morning, would

412
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 1>they arrest you? Sure? Would you get a sentence commensurate

413
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>with a guy or what they were attempting to do

414
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to a guy who literally walked through for or what

415
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 1>they did do nineteen months. Probably not you'd get you

416
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:41.480
<v Speaker 1>might get sentenced to it, and then they'd suspend all

417
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 1>but like ninety days or something, they'd put you in

418
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>a program probation or whatever. DC is notorious for undercharging,

419
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 1>not in this case, and so you look at all

420
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:01.359
<v Speaker 1>of that and you ask yourself, how do you make

421
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:06.319
<v Speaker 1>that right when you're dealing with fifteen sixteen hundred individuals.

422
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know. I still feel like there's people

423
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that were that probably should have caught full charge. But

424
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 1>I think that if you're in DC and you decide

425
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 1>to assault law enforcement who's not doing anything, or just

426
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 1>assault anybody for that matter, is just stand their mind

427
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:28.640
<v Speaker 1>in their business. DC has some serious crime problems. It

428
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 1>would behoove them to avail themselves of the statutes. But

429
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 1>with the January sixth stuff, they literally bastardized the statutes.

430
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 1>They made one up that some three hundred and fifty

431
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.400
<v Speaker 1>defendants ended up catching, you know, in excess of a

432
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.759
<v Speaker 1>year over until the Supreme Court stepped in and they

433
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 1>turned a fifty dollars finable offense into significant prison time,

434
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:01.880
<v Speaker 1>not to be confused with jail time prison time, which

435
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:03.400
<v Speaker 1>is usually I don't know what it is in DC,

436
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 1>but in most jurisdictions, you know, it's a year in

437
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:08.359
<v Speaker 1>a day. Year in a day is the standard, whether

438
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:10.279
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be in a county lock up facility

439
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:14.119
<v Speaker 1>or you're going to one of the state prisons or

440
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>in this case, federal prisons. So forgive me there.

441
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:20.400
<v Speaker 4>But.

442
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Swallwoll is an idiot. But I almost don't even have

443
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:33.359
<v Speaker 1>to point that out. What is this Boston Paul thinks

444
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 1>he's cute this morning. It's okay, too much of a

445
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>coward to come to our bourbon thing. So he's got

446
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to send you a little picky in like my microphone.

447
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:46.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, coming up on the show, we've got big

448
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Virgin news. I'm assuming, well, I don't know. I'll let

449
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you be the judge. Costco California story next crazy stuff.

450
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Hang on. He told them to make a list. Know

451
00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying is an organization out there if they

452
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.319
<v Speaker 1>want to track this is going to spearhead this and

453
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 1>and track them. We can discuss whether that's a good thing,

454
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:08.839
<v Speaker 1>because it kind of feels like if you do that,

455
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:13.000
<v Speaker 1>you're you're locking somebody into a position where they have

456
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:16.039
<v Speaker 1>to double down on that ideology. I recognize that it

457
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:21.119
<v Speaker 1>may not be a good idea. If somebody wants to, uh,

458
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, get away from the DEI stuff and still

459
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 1>do you know, some sort of corporate something or other,

460
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:32.119
<v Speaker 1>and they're not pushing the ideology, then I don't necessarily

461
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:37.119
<v Speaker 1>know what the problem is, except the every time I

462
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>see somebody one of these DEI folks, they're all in man,

463
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and you'd have to be because the ideology is so

464
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.519
<v Speaker 1>toxic that you'd have to overlook the fact that you're

465
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:52.079
<v Speaker 1>now the racist and not be aware of that crazy stuff. Okay,

466
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.799
<v Speaker 1>wall hold on? Speaking of crazy? Uh Boston, Paul, what's up?

467
00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

468
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean yeah, I can't quite a few people over

469
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 5>the years with something better than police officer.

470
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Wait, hold on, hold on, So are you saying that

471
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.599
<v Speaker 1>people really like to punch you or something? I can't imagine?

472
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.480
<v Speaker 5>And I tell you, you know, but most of the time,

473
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 5>when it got the quarter was a coofit or you know,

474
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 5>time served if they were waiting for arraignment, everything was

475
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.279
<v Speaker 5>dealt down a restitution for uniform and past that would

476
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 5>destroy or something. But I did any real crime.

477
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, now you got you remember you guys made that

478
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>one kid go learn math? Uh and uh and and

479
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>go see Robin Williams. I remember that.

480
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:44.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, they didn't They didn't do

481
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 5>much with something about in police officers. They used that

482
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:53.279
<v Speaker 5>to like make them deal to a lesser another crime,

483
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 5>you know.

484
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right? Were they mitigating circumstances like was the

485
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 1>police offics are harassing them about the quality of their microphone,

486
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 1>because then you know, Jerry's probably gonna open early.

487
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:10.759
<v Speaker 5>You know, you'd be able to have us for tomorrow's show. Anyway,

488
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:14.000
<v Speaker 5>what's that we're gonna buy? Go go, go the best

489
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.480
<v Speaker 5>buy and buy your mister microphone.

490
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Stop it, all right, you get out of here, you know.

491
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:21.119
<v Speaker 1>I go get that little play school cop set with

492
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the little plastic badge and stuff.

493
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.519
<v Speaker 3>I already got one already, I see.

494
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, don't freeze. Don't freeze, get to lose

495
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the national treasure. That is your take. Uh. By the way,

496
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Ross is vindicated this morning on avocados.

497
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Man.

498
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I uh so, if you don't know, I'm a I

499
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.920
<v Speaker 1>love avocados. Guacamole. Ross is an avocados and guacamole or

500
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:46.000
<v Speaker 1>just guacamole you don't like.

501
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, both, specifically guacamole, Like you can't do it right?

502
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Is that is that it's a visual or something? But well,

503
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.079
<v Speaker 1>also you didn't want to eat you don't want to

504
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>eat cartel murder food, so that yeah, yeah, yeah, New

505
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 1>York Times. How labeling Cartel's terrorists could hurt the US economy?

506
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:16.119
<v Speaker 1>What Isolating US companies from cartel activities could be almost

507
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:19.880
<v Speaker 1>impossible given that criminal groups operate in sectors such as

508
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 1>avocado agriculture and tourism. Wait a second, are you did

509
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you for there's avocado part? That's okay, that's a problem

510
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 1>then right, Maybe the thing is not to let the

511
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 1>cartels keep running the avocado racket cartel, which, by the way,

512
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:39.759
<v Speaker 1>do you think the cocaine car like do you think

513
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 1>the guys the cast offs from like Escobar and the

514
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Cali cartel, when they go to the cartel conferences they

515
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 1>make fun of the avocado cartel. I just feel I

516
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like there's a pecking order, cartel pecking order. But

517
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:56.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But the second thing, tourism, do you

518
00:32:56.640 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 1>mean coyotes. Ross. Did you find it weird that Austin

519
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Paul was kind of like being an apologist for one

520
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:07.759
<v Speaker 1>of the more famous cases of officer assault.

521
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I mean he's pretty much calling out Goodwill

522
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:13.559
<v Speaker 6>Hunting for not being accurate, which is kind of a

523
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 6>depressing because remember that's the one reason that Will went in.

524
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 6>You hit a car going in like that was.

525
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.119
<v Speaker 1>The r Yeah, well he tried. He tried the common

526
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.480
<v Speaker 1>law argument from you know, the sixteen hundreds cop. The

527
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>judge was was not buying it. But eventually they worked

528
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:28.119
<v Speaker 1>out a plea deal.

529
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:30.920
<v Speaker 6>So liberty is a sinko a what yahanna?

530
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.839
<v Speaker 1>And then he found redemption and uh, you know, a

531
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>nice little British audience. You know, it's not your fault. No,

532
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:45.279
<v Speaker 1>it's not it's not your fault. There are some apples

533
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:48.359
<v Speaker 1>this morning. I have a sudden craving. I'm gonna check

534
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen here at the break all right, so you

535
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 1>want you want some nerd news, I got some nerd

536
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.880
<v Speaker 1>news for you. One of my nine mice in.

537
00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:00.839
<v Speaker 6>Here are they still are the the there? They still

538
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.519
<v Speaker 6>like switched?

539
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're in And I move him. I move them

540
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>over to the other side. Every morning and he moves

541
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.360
<v Speaker 1>them back.

542
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:11.199
<v Speaker 6>I'm pretty sure that he has to change it now, right,

543
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 6>didn't Trump had an executive order or something about that?

544
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 1>I think that's actually that dude. That's exactly what I

545
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:19.559
<v Speaker 1>said to him on Monday. I'm like, man, nothing that

546
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I could do. You didn't see him sign it. Ah,

547
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you should have paid attention. No, no more left handed mice.

548
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:26.760
<v Speaker 1>For those who don't know, it's not just that he

549
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 1>uses the mouse, because there's people who are left handed,

550
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 1>like Ross's left hand, there's people who are left handed

551
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:34.840
<v Speaker 1>listening to the show. What I mean is he goes

552
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.599
<v Speaker 1>into the settings. This is our this is our program

553
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 1>director for the Greensborough for WPT I JT, who Ross

554
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and JT known each other for decades, like literally work together.

555
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 1>So he goes into the settings and reverses the buttons

556
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.559
<v Speaker 1>of the mouse. So me, as a normal right handed

557
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:01.239
<v Speaker 1>person or even a normal left handed per thinks that's

558
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.800
<v Speaker 1>insane to physically reverse it. So your foot, you're you know,

559
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.679
<v Speaker 1>you're flying around like, oh, let me click on this thing,

560
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.559
<v Speaker 1>and you click your left finger and it doesn't do anything.

561
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:11.199
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh that's right. Then you got to click

562
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:15.079
<v Speaker 1>your right finger. So no, now I just uh, I

563
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:18.760
<v Speaker 1>figured out how to do it. So game on, blood

564
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Bloodless coup. What are you gonna do? So we'll see.

565
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.760
<v Speaker 1>But now I keep changing it back and then in uh,

566
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:31.000
<v Speaker 1>this is such, this is such petty stuff. Also, if so,

567
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.960
<v Speaker 1>if you one of our computers, at one of the

568
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.480
<v Speaker 1>iHeartMedia Company computers, you know, the desktops are in the studios,

569
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you log in under your own log in, and then

570
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:43.719
<v Speaker 1>obviously your desktop is your stuff, your programs, your files,

571
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker 1>all that. If you just walk away and it times

572
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:50.800
<v Speaker 1>out and locks the computer, you can't select a different

573
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:51.360
<v Speaker 1>log in.

574
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Drop.

575
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.000
<v Speaker 1>You know we're a new user. You have to physically

576
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:02.920
<v Speaker 1>restart the computer. If you take the two seconds that

577
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:07.320
<v Speaker 1>it takes to click logout, then whoever's next doesn't have

578
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to restart the computers like me. You know, O dark

579
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.159
<v Speaker 1>thirty in the morning, I got to restart everything in here.

580
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So you know, turnabout's fair play. Now I do it

581
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>to him. Game on, man, Yeah, petty office stuff here,

582
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:26.159
<v Speaker 1>you want some petty check this out. A costco in

583
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:35.400
<v Speaker 1>California broke out in a brawl. A brawl footage captured

584
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:38.920
<v Speaker 1>at the Atwater Village Costco in It's a lot Los

585
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Angeles area showed a group of I don't know, trying

586
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:48.199
<v Speaker 1>to count here, there's easily there's easy like fifty people.

587
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I would say ten of them are brawling. The other

588
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:56.360
<v Speaker 1>ones are standing around yelling, some are trying to break

589
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 1>it up. A couple look like they jump in there.

590
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:03.320
<v Speaker 1>So were why were they brawling? Did they have disagreements

591
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:07.480
<v Speaker 1>over fire policy? And in Los Angeles? And no? They

592
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:12.519
<v Speaker 1>were brawling because Costco got an order of Pokemon cards.

593
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.800
<v Speaker 1>These are adults they got they got these special Pokemon

594
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Collectors packages. I know nothing. I know nothing about Pokemon,

595
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:27.280
<v Speaker 1>so I'm just gonna let you know. I guess maybe Pokemon.

596
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.559
<v Speaker 1>I think Ross and I missed Pokemon by what five years,

597
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:34.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe ten years. I don't even I don't even know

598
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:36.039
<v Speaker 1>if my I think my little brother was into it

599
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:40.559
<v Speaker 1>for a while. And he's seven seven years younger than me,

600
00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:44.280
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know. I I but if you look,

601
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:46.599
<v Speaker 1>if Pokemon was your thing as a kid, great, this

602
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't what this is about. This goes back to the

603
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>collector card thing that I literally lost track of for decades.

604
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Right when I was a kid, I'd buy baseball cards.

605
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I remember I to this day, remember opening the first

606
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the rookie year and getting a bo Jackson, and I

607
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.400
<v Speaker 1>remember I was elated forever. Damn. I wish i'd know

608
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:15.599
<v Speaker 1>what happened to that, But get that was the big

609
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:17.760
<v Speaker 1>thing when I was really kind of getting into cards.

610
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.639
<v Speaker 1>And I remember, like cause we'd go we go to

611
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a little League or was legion where the American Legion

612
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:26.039
<v Speaker 1>ran it up there, and then they had like a

613
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:28.320
<v Speaker 1>little concession thing for when the games are going on,

614
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.920
<v Speaker 1>so you could get like, you know, chips and drinks,

615
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and but you could buy baseball cards there. And so

616
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>every week I would buy a pack with the allowance there,

617
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>and I got me a bo Jackson and I spent

618
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I spent the whole day not even concerned

619
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:47.119
<v Speaker 1>about the game, just talking with my buddies about that.

620
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:50.920
<v Speaker 1>It was really cool. But it was also like fifty cents.

621
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what tops cards were at that time,

622
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.400
<v Speaker 1>but that bo Jackson was pretty amazing. I collected the

623
00:38:56.559 --> 00:39:01.880
<v Speaker 1>entire eighty seven tops, which you know in retrospect they

624
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:03.800
<v Speaker 1>overprinted a lot of that stuff. But that was what

625
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.760
<v Speaker 1>McGuire's rookie bunch of others like I was, and then I,

626
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:12.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, I figured out if you talk to girls,

627
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.199
<v Speaker 1>that's fun, and and you know, the baseball cards kind

628
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 1>of went by the side, So went ahead and went

629
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:23.360
<v Speaker 1>ahead and did that. And UH didn't think about it literally,

630
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, okay, all right. I didn't think about it

631
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.760
<v Speaker 1>literally until I call. I saw a video of this.

632
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.039
<v Speaker 1>He's American, du he's like an Asian, but he's an

633
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Asian guy, right, I don't and he I think he

634
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:43.440
<v Speaker 1>calls himself a pacman or said some pun and it

635
00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:45.159
<v Speaker 1>just happened to catch a video, and by and by

636
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, I felt it very entertaining. But the thing

637
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 1>that caught me was the title that got served up

638
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.519
<v Speaker 1>in like the YouTube algorithm, and it says we opened

639
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a two thousand dollars pack. I'm like, what how much

640
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.119
<v Speaker 1>your cards? And then I went down this rabbit hole

641
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and I did not real that, like, if you want

642
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.480
<v Speaker 1>top tier sports cards, you right, you're you're you're paying

643
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:08.599
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred dollars for a box of them that may

644
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:10.519
<v Speaker 1>have ten packs in it, and that's where you get

645
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:13.519
<v Speaker 1>the truly expected like that. It went crazy. Same with

646
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon and UFC stuff and saw, you know, all the

647
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:22.199
<v Speaker 1>different sports and and there's this whole insane industry out

648
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:24.519
<v Speaker 1>there where people are doing things like paying a million

649
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:29.440
<v Speaker 1>dollars for a Victor wembin Yama rookie card because it's

650
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.199
<v Speaker 1>a one of one or something like. I don't get it.

651
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:34.199
<v Speaker 1>But also, if you want to do that, that's fine.

652
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>That's what you're dealing with here. These were ravenous resellers,

653
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:41.719
<v Speaker 1>so they're not even really in it for the love

654
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.920
<v Speaker 1>of the game. They just realized that because Costco was

655
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:49.679
<v Speaker 1>selling the stuff for cheap, that they could go ahead

656
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and uh and and probably make some money there. And

657
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I understand that, but it evolved into an all out

658
00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:00.360
<v Speaker 1>brawl over Pokemon cards and what's crazy? Uh, I don't know, ROI.

659
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.280
<v Speaker 1>You had a chance to see the video. They're poor

660
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:04.440
<v Speaker 1>wives and girlfriends. Now, I don't see him in the video,

661
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:06.239
<v Speaker 1>but they had to be mortified. I'm sure they're all

662
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:09.280
<v Speaker 1>standing off to the side right watching this unfold. I

663
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:11.440
<v Speaker 1>want to get into it. And then they didn't interview

664
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:13.599
<v Speaker 1>any of their wives or girlfriends either, so that was

665
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.079
<v Speaker 1>that was a little strange. But these are grown adults

666
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:22.440
<v Speaker 1>fighting each other over Pokemon cards. Imagine being that person.

667
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Imagine thinking you have to punch two of your neighbors.

668
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.320
<v Speaker 1>So you can get a what's what's the name of

669
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a Pokemon Pikachu. That's the only one I know. I'm sure.

670
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's a bunch of others, so you can

671
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:39.079
<v Speaker 1>get a Pikachu. Another thing I know that is because

672
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.079
<v Speaker 1>remember when doctor Campbell, Remember when a grown doctor that

673
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.639
<v Speaker 1>we used to have on the show was trying to

674
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:46.679
<v Speaker 1>capture Pokemon.

675
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:49.760
<v Speaker 6>He came in like a lunatic doing that Pokemon what

676
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:55.840
<v Speaker 6>is it called Pokemon go? Yeah, I get you know,

677
00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:58.360
<v Speaker 6>it's g It was geographic, so so you have which

678
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.519
<v Speaker 6>is how they ended up having to like tell people

679
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:03.440
<v Speaker 6>to not come to Auschwitz to catch Pokemon. Remember that

680
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:06.079
<v Speaker 6>became a thing or at the Holocaust Museum in DC.

681
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Like, there were so many insane stories. This is a

682
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:12.119
<v Speaker 1>This is a person who went to medical school, right,

683
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what. He went duke in University of

684
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Virginia and undergrad at NCC. He went to three different colleges.

685
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Highly educated individual who literally will open your chest and

686
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:26.800
<v Speaker 1>make your heart work again. And he's in Ross's studio

687
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:32.159
<v Speaker 1>trying to catch something that's that he's hallucinating, so like

688
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:36.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just crazy town, man. And then we like he

689
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:38.199
<v Speaker 1>was part of a group where we go up to

690
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the mountains. We go up up towards Sparta, their high

691
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:44.599
<v Speaker 1>meadows and rowing gap and all that. We play old bow,

692
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:46.840
<v Speaker 1>We play a few courses. Big guys trip do it

693
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:51.400
<v Speaker 1>every summer. And so there's there's like twenty of us

694
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.719
<v Speaker 1>right this big trip. We rent a couple of the

695
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:58.679
<v Speaker 1>big houses. And this doctor's walking around literally in people's

696
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:05.400
<v Speaker 1>backswing catching Pokemon. I don't get it. I don't understand it,

697
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:08.639
<v Speaker 1>and I don't understand people a bunch of virgins punching

698
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:11.880
<v Speaker 1>each other for Pokemon cards in a costco like like

699
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:14.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're evaluating that later, are you like? What am

700
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:18.239
<v Speaker 1>I doing with my life? I need to go. I

701
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:21.199
<v Speaker 1>need to go touch grass or get on a dating

702
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:24.400
<v Speaker 1>app or something, or do you know, take a vow

703
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:26.519
<v Speaker 1>of celibacy and be a monk. I don't know, do

704
00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:31.400
<v Speaker 1>something productive. No, I'm gonna be on video brawling with

705
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:37.159
<v Speaker 1>other adults over Pokemon cards. The world has absolutely lost

706
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:41.440
<v Speaker 1>its mind. Man. But hey for my amusement, because hey,

707
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.840
<v Speaker 1>we're here talking about it. So there you go. All right,

708
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.920
<v Speaker 1>So I tease this article earlier, how woke federal employees

709
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:55.639
<v Speaker 1>keep d are keeping deilive in defiance of Trump's orders,

710
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:59.559
<v Speaker 1>And the question becomes, what do you do if you

711
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:03.840
<v Speaker 1>think needs stamped out and a combination of market forces

712
00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:06.239
<v Speaker 1>and turning off the government spigging on this is going

713
00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to be the way to do it. You got to

714
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.480
<v Speaker 1>realize that if you unseed an entire industry full of people,

715
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:18.079
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have to do something. And just telling them

716
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to go pick strawberries on Twitter may feel good to you,

717
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:25.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's not gonna be reality. So, uh, we'll get

718
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:27.920
<v Speaker 1>into this. We'll do it next here on the CaCO

719
00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Day radio program. What do I read? I just leave

720
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:34.760
<v Speaker 1>at the call streamer? Are all those words correct? Because

721
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I always try to in my brain figure out where

722
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.239
<v Speaker 1>the caller is going with us. I have to know

723
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:40.719
<v Speaker 1>what this is?

724
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:41.039
<v Speaker 3>All right?

725
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Hold up, grab the right mouse, Bernie. What's going on?

726
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Born and Casey?

727
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Morning?

728
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:54.119
<v Speaker 3>Card market? The card market is so crazy. You can

729
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:56.840
<v Speaker 3>go to Walmart and call get no places by what

730
00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:59.280
<v Speaker 3>they call retail bosses and retail packs.

731
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.920
<v Speaker 1>By the way, because I did, I well, hang on, Birdie,

732
00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:05.159
<v Speaker 1>because I want to explain this to people. Because I myself,

733
00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:07.119
<v Speaker 1>I when I see something I don't know about it,

734
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:10.239
<v Speaker 1>I try to educate myself a little, and admittedly I

735
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:15.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know barely anything, but it seemed really scummy because

736
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.440
<v Speaker 1>they produce two different sets basically, and they got you know,

737
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.039
<v Speaker 1>for the Walmart for the kids, and then they have

738
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.639
<v Speaker 1>these really high end hobby I think they call it,

739
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:27.559
<v Speaker 1>called them hobby right where it's like eight hundred dollars

740
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.440
<v Speaker 1>for a box, but it's where the good cards are.

741
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:32.599
<v Speaker 1>So if you buy the cheapies, you can't even get

742
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the good cards. You gotta buy thet You gotta spend

743
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:38.719
<v Speaker 1>a car payment to have a chance at them. And

744
00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:41.039
<v Speaker 1>they're private business, they can do what they want, but

745
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:43.559
<v Speaker 1>it just seems like you're taking advantage of your sports

746
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:45.400
<v Speaker 1>fans and your card collectors.

747
00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:50.440
<v Speaker 3>You can still get hit at the retail boxes retail tags,

748
00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:51.639
<v Speaker 3>but not the.

749
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Big, big big ones, right, not the big ones they

750
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:55.559
<v Speaker 1>make videos about.

751
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:59.119
<v Speaker 3>Right, It just depends on the holograph of the men

752
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:03.760
<v Speaker 3>car it Jersey patch card. You can get them, but

753
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:07.719
<v Speaker 3>people weigh the pack just to see which pack is

754
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:14.199
<v Speaker 3>ways more to get the good packs with little with scales.

755
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, if I'm the manufacturer, I would not want people

756
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:21.559
<v Speaker 1>doing that because then they probably wouldn't buy your lighter boxes.

757
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't you stick something in there so they all weigh

758
00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the same?

759
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:30.760
<v Speaker 3>They do that, they put a piece of cardboard in there.

760
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Work science, man, huh because a Pokemon card there's the

761
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:37.719
<v Speaker 1>only thing I know about the pokem Yeah, some of

762
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.039
<v Speaker 1>them are made of like heavy material and not just

763
00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon but cards. Right, yeah, okay, all right, that ways

764
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:49.559
<v Speaker 1>around all that. What's your do you so you sound

765
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:51.639
<v Speaker 1>like you're into this, sir? Do you still.

766
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:56.599
<v Speaker 3>I collect? I'm old toys, so I go to card

767
00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:59.599
<v Speaker 3>shows and toy shows, got you and that stuff. That

768
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:03.039
<v Speaker 3>stuff there's a big business. It's not a hobby no more.

769
00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:06.679
<v Speaker 3>It's a business. People buy that stuff trying to you know,

770
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.960
<v Speaker 3>turn over to make a fortune out of it.

771
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, good, good on them. It sounds like gambling, sir. Yeah, okay,

772
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:19.320
<v Speaker 1>And again they're private company if their customers are fine

773
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:21.440
<v Speaker 1>with that. I just from a kid's standpoint, I would

774
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:24.320
<v Speaker 1>think it'd be a little discouraging because I wouldn't you know,

775
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:27.920
<v Speaker 1>when I was opening cards in the eighties, if there

776
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.599
<v Speaker 1>was a good card to be had in a set,

777
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 1>likely there was only one set for the manufacturer, and

778
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:34.639
<v Speaker 1>you had you had. Whatever the odds are. Everyone else

779
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:38.440
<v Speaker 1>had and honor the days. I guess so, Greg.

780
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they even make cards with historical signature cuts

781
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.079
<v Speaker 3>like six seven dollars a bus and you may get

782
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:52.880
<v Speaker 3>like a it would be Ruth Ruth r Graf or

783
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:53.960
<v Speaker 3>at least a Gray.

784
00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Coming up on the show, we're gonna chat with Stephen

785
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Kent our NERD correspond and yeah, we're gonna have to

786
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:06.000
<v Speaker 1>get into the little bit of the card you know,

787
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the cards stuff and the because this is with the

788
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon stuff, because absolutely, but also uh, let's see here. Yeah, okay,

789
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:18.800
<v Speaker 1>so we had Netflix definitely want to talk about that,

790
00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and uh, they're going to try to do the Chronicles

791
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and Narnia thing again. And there are some concerns that

792
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood may Hollywood it as Hollywood do, so uh we'll

793
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:33.199
<v Speaker 1>pick that. But I am learning so much about Here's

794
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:35.239
<v Speaker 1>what Here's here's what I know. Ross. Did you collect

795
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:39.159
<v Speaker 1>baseball cards or sports cards or is it just the

796
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:41.079
<v Speaker 1>magic stuff? Ross worked at the Magic Show.

797
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:44.960
<v Speaker 6>I collected boxing cards. I was really big into boxing cards,

798
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:46.280
<v Speaker 6>but also wrestling cards.

799
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well absolutely, but the wrestling stuff. So I understand

800
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:53.320
<v Speaker 1>here's what I here's what I knew. Tops were what

801
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I wanted Donnris was for the pores. What was then

802
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:01.199
<v Speaker 1>the Flare Flair whatever. I don't remember if we had those,

803
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:03.519
<v Speaker 1>but then I remember, and this is one the last

804
00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:07.280
<v Speaker 1>things I remember. I remember because I wanted Jordan Michael

805
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Jordan cards, and at some point he decided he was

806
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:14.480
<v Speaker 1>only going to be in upper deck. But upper deck

807
00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:19.039
<v Speaker 1>was like the they were like they were the premium cards.

808
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:21.880
<v Speaker 1>And then I after that I discovered girls and stuff.

809
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:26.119
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, but it's it's a it's a rabbit hole, man.

810
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:29.960
<v Speaker 6>I actually it's sort of a humble brag. They also

811
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:33.199
<v Speaker 6>had a lot of the big collectible Star Trek cards.

812
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:38.559
<v Speaker 1>So see, obviously you found girls earlier because they're naturally

813
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:42.679
<v Speaker 1>attracted to that, right green ones, Yes, yeah, yeah, love

814
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:49.840
<v Speaker 1>that is the board Queen's not green, you perve he's

815
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:52.000
<v Speaker 1>got a board queen thing. All right, let's go, let

816
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:53.760
<v Speaker 1>me grab two calls real quick. I know, I know

817
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:55.280
<v Speaker 1>some of you're like, why are we talking about you

818
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:57.840
<v Speaker 1>know why? Because I screamed yesterday my voice hurts. Okay,

819
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:02.000
<v Speaker 1>oh horrific. Thought that last call was like you could

820
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:03.960
<v Speaker 1>get the cards with and I just somebody sent me

821
00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:06.679
<v Speaker 1>a link to this and there's like there's packs of

822
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:09.519
<v Speaker 1>cards where it could have like Serena Williams or George

823
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:12.599
<v Speaker 1>Washington in it. The company that does those, I mean

824
00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:15.719
<v Speaker 1>the cuts is basically like they get a hold of

825
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:19.239
<v Speaker 1>a check they wrote or contract or whatever, they cut

826
00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:20.599
<v Speaker 1>it out, then they make a card out of it.

827
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So see in case I didn't, I didn't know what

828
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:26.159
<v Speaker 1>the terminology exactly meant, but that's what it is. The

829
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:28.159
<v Speaker 1>problem is I'd buy this thing and then I'd get

830
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:31.639
<v Speaker 1>nothing but Till's cards, and I'd be so upset. Right,

831
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:35.079
<v Speaker 1>and the bike spokes right, the bike spokes with those. Jake,

832

837
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:48.199
<v Speaker 3>If you want to have a riot, you could go

839
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:52.760
<v Speaker 3>lot of those cards right here in Durham.

840
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Which what what do you mean just all of them

841
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:57.480
<v Speaker 1>in general? Or is there one of the companies it's

842
00:50:57.519 --> 00:50:59.559
<v Speaker 1>like tops have a planter or something.

843
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, there's just a printing company that does a

844
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:04.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of different cards right here in Durham.

845
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:08.159
<v Speaker 3>And uh, they do magic cards. They do the Pokemon cards,

846
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:10.440
<v Speaker 3>and security inside there is pretty crazy.

847
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:12.400
<v Speaker 2>They make me put a stick girl for my camera

848
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:14.519
<v Speaker 2>on my phone, even though I need my camp my

849

<v Speaker 2>phone for work to take pictures of stuff I'm doing.

850
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:20.119
<v Speaker 3>But uh, it's it's pretty tight in there.

851
00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, we're considering. I literally I read it. I

852
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:27.239
<v Speaker 1>read an article where somebody paid a million dollars for

853
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a rookie card of the dude down in San Antonio,

854
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:33.719
<v Speaker 1>the when min Yama and so like, you're sticking a

855
00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:36.519
<v Speaker 1>million dollars into a little pack and putting it in

856
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:38.559
<v Speaker 1>a box and sending it out and who knows where.

857
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:39.639
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy?

858
00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:43.079

00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:37.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty cards out of it.

879
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:39.039

883
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.039
<v Speaker 7>but he never had a problem with Biden's partans.

884
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Come on, I don't know that he didn't.

887
00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the passion wasn't there. He was very passionate in what

888
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I saw, which is what set what triggered me the

889
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:07.880
<v Speaker 1>other day. And he, like everybody else, knows and knew

890
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:11.480
<v Speaker 1>what was going on with the absolute rolling abuse of power,

891
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.559
<v Speaker 1>and he doesn't seem to want to address that other

892
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:17.159
<v Speaker 1>side of it. And I don't have any time for that.

893
00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And uh, the NCGOP needs to purge them because I

894
00:53:20.320 --> 00:53:22.480
<v Speaker 1>need a hobby because I don't collect cards, because I

895
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:24.400
<v Speaker 1>can't afford to pay eight hundred dollars for a box

896
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:27.239
<v Speaker 1>of cards. So my hobby will be making sure this

897
00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:29.480
<v Speaker 1>dude never goes back to Washington. So the you know,

898
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:31.199
<v Speaker 1>real estate party, figure it out.

899
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:33.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, what are you gonna do if he If

900
00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:36.079
<v Speaker 4>he's not in Washington, then your hobby's gone. You gotta

901
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:37.000
<v Speaker 4>find a new hobby.

902
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Noh, fine, don't worry. There's a there's dirt bags of

903
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:40.519
<v Speaker 1>plenty up there, sir.

904
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:43.400
<v Speaker 4>Okay, y'all have a wonderful day in case you thank

905
00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:44.360
<v Speaker 4>you too. Yeah.

906
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, they don't stop making dirt bags. Never gonna, never

907
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:53.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna run out of dirt bags in Washington. Come on, man,

908
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that's too that's too easy. Oh wait, hold on, wait

909
00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:06.079
<v Speaker 1>a second, hold on, stop it. Ross. I just got

910
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:10.239
<v Speaker 1>a text from a mutual acquaintance of both doctor Campbell

911
00:54:10.239 --> 00:54:13.119
<v Speaker 1>and myself who told me that last week Campbell was

912
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:18.639
<v Speaker 1>still catching peekachs. I don't have to text him after

913
00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the show. Oh man, absolute crazy town. All right, seven

914
00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:28.800
<v Speaker 1>forty two here on the KCO Day radio program. All right,

915
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:34.400
<v Speaker 1>so back to this, what are federal employees. What are

916
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:38.880
<v Speaker 1>federal employees doing to keep DEI alive? And it's pretty interesting.

917
00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:42.519
<v Speaker 1>So as you have, you know, you have the purge

918
00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:46.480
<v Speaker 1>within the government obviously with truck, you know, with Trump

919
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:49.760
<v Speaker 1>sign putting them on leave, and then we'll see where

920
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it goes from here. I just think you're trying to

921
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:53.719
<v Speaker 1>figure out if they can you know, what you can

922
00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:56.840
<v Speaker 1>do based on the different employee classes. But I look,

923
00:54:56.920 --> 00:54:59.920
<v Speaker 1>if the government doesn't have the flexibility to eliminate the

924
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:03.800
<v Speaker 1>apartments that are unnecessary, redundant, or no longer needed because

925
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:09.159
<v Speaker 1>things have changed without an Act of Congress, then government

926
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:13.840
<v Speaker 1>is not nimble enough to do anything above and beyond

927
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:16.639
<v Speaker 1>the bare minimum right because that is that's that's a

928
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:22.000
<v Speaker 1>logistical problem. And if if you're a big company and

929
00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:24.639
<v Speaker 1>you're unable to do that, we've seen examples of this,

930
00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you know where a company was running to the ground

931
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:29.199
<v Speaker 1>because it was held hostage by and then you know,

932
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:34.119
<v Speaker 1>insert whatever the whatever it is. You know, unions is

933
00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:35.719
<v Speaker 1>the one like, oh, the unions are doing it, but

934
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you know a lot of times it's a lot more

935
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:40.000
<v Speaker 1>than that. So what do you do with people who

936
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:44.719
<v Speaker 1>have over educated themselves honestly believe that everything is inherently

937
00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:48.000
<v Speaker 1>racist and and you know, white people of the perpetrators

938
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:51.239
<v Speaker 1>have been paid tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars

939
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:54.079
<v Speaker 1>to go give day long seminars that you're forced to

940
00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:56.400
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be employed to ten so that

941
00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you can be told you're a giant pile of crap,

942
00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:03.039
<v Speaker 1>and then to create scenarios where you also realize that

943
00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:05.480
<v Speaker 1>upward mobility is going to be a long shot for

944
00:56:05.559 --> 00:56:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you because you don't tick any of the diversity boxes.

945
00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:12.480
<v Speaker 1>You got to really believe in it. You got to

946
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:14.840
<v Speaker 1>be died in that. Plus you got student loans coming

947
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:17.800
<v Speaker 1>out your petard on this thing. And where do those

948
00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:21.599
<v Speaker 1>folks go, Well maybe they go into some other part

949
00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:24.679
<v Speaker 1>of it, and that ideology isn't part of what motivates them.

950
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:28.800
<v Speaker 1>But they're believers. Man. That's like taking somebody who's a

951
00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you know as a preacher and you know, really really

952
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:33.880
<v Speaker 1>believes it and wants them to work in another capacity

953
00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:37.199
<v Speaker 1>and then asking them to divorce themselves of you know,

954
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:41.960
<v Speaker 1>divine influence or prayer or any of the rest. It's difficult.

955
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.840
<v Speaker 1>This is the woke religion. And as companies don't feel

956
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:49.679
<v Speaker 1>shackled because operating capital is now available to them without

957
00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:54.719
<v Speaker 1>a score talking about how diverse they are. Then what

958
00:56:54.800 --> 00:57:00.280
<v Speaker 1>incentive does a publicly traded company have to one that

959
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:06.119
<v Speaker 1>in their office? If it's it's an unnecessary department companies

960
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:09.000
<v Speaker 1>maximizing profit. Love it or hate it is something that

961
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:14.000
<v Speaker 1>companies strive to do all of the time. So now

962
00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:18.199
<v Speaker 1>you're talking thousands, tens of that, hundreds of thousands. Perhaps

963
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:21.880
<v Speaker 1>if you get into the all the underlings in these departments,

964
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 1>what are they going to do? Sure, some are going

965
00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:27.480
<v Speaker 1>to have applicable skills that work in other capacities. And

966
00:57:27.559 --> 00:57:30.599
<v Speaker 1>yeah they're educated. So you know, if you had a

967
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:33.199
<v Speaker 1>basic liberal arts degree and then you got a post

968
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, post grad degree and that spun you into DEI,

969
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you probably still have marketable skills. So do they just

970
00:57:41.159 --> 00:57:44.320
<v Speaker 1>pretend none of it ever happened. People have suggested that

971
00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you need to make a list of all current DEI

972
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:51.599
<v Speaker 1>associated employees that other employers when checking can literally check

973
00:57:51.679 --> 00:57:55.719
<v Speaker 1>that name. Well, that's just what Democrats did to Republicans,

974
00:57:58.599 --> 00:58:01.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe not as official, although they do have lists. Oh

975
00:58:01.199 --> 00:58:04.440
<v Speaker 1>they love lists, block lists mostly, but they have these lists.

976
00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Do you want done to them? What was done to you?

977
00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:12.159
<v Speaker 1>If you think it's inherently wrong. I don't know the

978
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:15.599
<v Speaker 1>answer to that. I do know the answer to your

979
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:19.159
<v Speaker 1>your weather troubles live with raced Agic from the Weather Channel.

980
00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Who needs to fix stuff. So I gotta look, dude,

981
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I gotta drive down to the coast for on Saturday.

982
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Man Beau for North Carolina knew.

983
00:58:30.320 --> 00:58:36.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Well, here's the good news. There's no additional snow

984
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:36.840
<v Speaker 8>on the forecast.

985
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, gotcha right, so roads improving.

986
00:58:41.119 --> 00:58:43.880
<v Speaker 8>The Weather Service did hang on to the win your

987
00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:49.079
<v Speaker 8>weather advisory just parts of the triangle in points east

988
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:51.960
<v Speaker 8>because of previous snow. There still may be some black

989
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:55.000
<v Speaker 8>ice in spots cold morning though, a lot of teens

990
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:57.360
<v Speaker 8>and middle teens at that even a thirteen right now

991
00:58:57.360 --> 00:59:00.000
<v Speaker 8>at Chapel Hill twelve as you get up your way

992
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:03.760
<v Speaker 8>and then back into the triad Lewisville fourteen degrees. You

993
00:59:03.800 --> 00:59:08.000
<v Speaker 8>go further north in Rockingham County Reidsville eleven and there's

994
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:11.440
<v Speaker 8>a single digit up there caswell. So it's very cold,

995
00:59:11.519 --> 00:59:13.960
<v Speaker 8>but temperatures will start coming back, no precept right through

996
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:17.119
<v Speaker 8>the weekend until about Monday. Now we'll have to watch

997
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:19.440
<v Speaker 8>it timing. On that Monday, there's a chance of rain

998
00:59:19.519 --> 00:59:21.920
<v Speaker 8>in the morning and if temperatures are still around freezing,

999
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:24.800
<v Speaker 8>we'll see. Doesn't look like it's going to be a

1000
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:27.679
<v Speaker 8>big mess, but we'll worry about that in the next

1001
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:28.440
<v Speaker 8>couple of days.

1002
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:29.800
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of clouds from.

1003
00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:32.559
<v Speaker 8>Sun today, mid upper thirties tonight in near twenty so

1004
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:34.920
<v Speaker 8>we are a little better there, and then sunny Friday,

1005
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:37.599
<v Speaker 8>upper thirties to low forties and probably in the mid

1006
00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:40.280
<v Speaker 8>forties by Saturday with sunshine, and then wrap it up

1007
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:43.239
<v Speaker 8>the weekend Sunday with sunshine and back to normal as

1008
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:45.559
<v Speaker 8>we're on either side of fifty depending on where you are,

1009
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:48.840
<v Speaker 8>so upper forties probably tryad and low fifties for the triangle.

1010
00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:51.159
<v Speaker 8>So getting better, and it looks like next week we

1011
00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:54.920
<v Speaker 8>may actually get some spots close to sixty degrees, so

1012
00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:58.599
<v Speaker 8>also be gone. Yeah, yeah, see it's over. No more winter, Yes,

1013
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:03.239
<v Speaker 8>Texas going away. It's over and we're looking forward now

1014
01:00:03.280 --> 01:00:04.079
<v Speaker 8>to springtime.

1015
01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I want to congratulate you because you

1016
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>have you guys, you count you and the your your

1017
01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:15.079
<v Speaker 1>your team are now second in my list of NFC

1018
01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>East teams that annoy me. So what did we do?

1019
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:18.719
<v Speaker 8>Now?

1020
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Did you see the mayor of Philadelphia at the playoff

1021
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>rally she held yesterday or two days ago. No, I

1022
01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:28.719
<v Speaker 1>did not. Okay, play a little audio for you, ready, Okay,

1023
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:32.599
<v Speaker 1>tell me if you can see why this is really bad.

1024
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:33.559
<v Speaker 1>We've got to do this.

1025
01:00:33.719 --> 01:00:42.440
<v Speaker 9>Let me hear you all saying he owe, No, let's

1026
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:42.920
<v Speaker 9>go back.

1027
01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:50.599
<v Speaker 1>She misspelled the team name. She misspelled the team name,

1028
01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and I don't even have a complicated team name.

1029
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:57.639
<v Speaker 8>She was so excited, right, and so no, I get it.

1030
01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:00.159
<v Speaker 1>I get it. Do you know that fifty two of

1031
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia this is true, fifty two percent of Philadelphia adults

1032
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:06.079
<v Speaker 1>are functionally illiterate or completely illiterate.

1033
01:01:06.159 --> 01:01:06.519
<v Speaker 3>I know that.

1034
01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>So like maybe half the fans didn't notice. Probably not,

1035
01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>probably not. Man, all right, so there we go. Yeah, yeah,

1036
01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you're not the mayor at the rally with the team, right,

1037
01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's there's that. All right, man, we'll talk in

1038
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>an hour. I appreciate it, all right, seven forty eight.

1039
01:01:24.079 --> 01:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Hang on, we got a lot of people listen to

1040
01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>this show. Speedal, you just send me that money, because

1041
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:32.159
<v Speaker 1>like it sounds like a lot of times you're just

1042
01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>you're just sticking it in a wood chipper. Holy cow,

1043
01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:43.639
<v Speaker 1>I've here's the guy's he buys boxes at seven hundred

1044
01:01:43.639 --> 01:01:47.199
<v Speaker 1>and fifty dollars apiece. Oh again, it's your money, do

1045
01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>what you want with it. But as somebody who just

1046
01:01:50.920 --> 01:01:54.119
<v Speaker 1>really wasn't clocked in on this stuff, it's just it's crazy,

1047
01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:57.679
<v Speaker 1>not as crazy as what all these politicians claim they're

1048
01:01:57.679 --> 01:02:01.199
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to do, and then like will immediately back

1049
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>down if a pair of bracelets, you know, come out

1050
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:08.519
<v Speaker 1>by federal law enforcement officials, like the mayor of Denver

1051
01:02:08.639 --> 01:02:13.559
<v Speaker 1>who's keying up to martyr himself for people in the

1052
01:02:13.559 --> 01:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>country illegal legal disobedience.

1053
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:17.480
<v Speaker 10>You've mentioned that a couple of times. Now, would you

1054
01:02:17.599 --> 01:02:20.360
<v Speaker 10>be willing to participate in those as the mayor of Denver?

1055
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:22.480
<v Speaker 10>Would you be willing to go out and protest these things?

1056
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:25.519
<v Speaker 11>I would if I believe that our residents are having

1057
01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:27.280
<v Speaker 11>their rights violate, if I think things are happening that

1058
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.679
<v Speaker 11>are illegal or immoral or an American in our city,

1059
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:33.239
<v Speaker 11>I would certainly protest it, and I would expect it.

1060
01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>And you'll notice these cats don't just say yes. They

1061
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:40.119
<v Speaker 1>throw a lot of qualifiers in there. I suspect that's

1062
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>for later when they need it going. Well, it's not

1063
01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>it's wrong, but it's not immoral.

1064
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:46.400
<v Speaker 10>The residents will do the same Trump's new borders are.

1065
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:51.360
<v Speaker 10>Tom Holman has said that he is willing to arrest leader.

1066
01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:55.039
<v Speaker 1>He's like my Tom Holman is easily one of my

1067
01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>favorite characters in all of this, not just because I

1068
01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to interview the guy and actually hung

1069
01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:02.679
<v Speaker 1>out with him and some other radio hosts at a

1070
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>broadcast event that we did, and he's just he's a

1071
01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:08.119
<v Speaker 1>really interesting dude to talk to, and he has zero

1072
01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>bandwidth for bs either. And also we share an affinity

1073
01:03:14.599 --> 01:03:19.119
<v Speaker 1>for a finer scotches and or whiskey. So that being said,

1074
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:23.159
<v Speaker 1>dude ain't screwing around, and so he you know, he's

1075
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be the villain in a lot of these.

1076
01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:28.800
<v Speaker 10>Interviews, like yourself for standing in the way of these

1077
01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:31.559
<v Speaker 10>policies that they want to enact. Would you be willing

1078
01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:32.760
<v Speaker 10>to go to jail for these things?

1079
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:35.119
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I'm not afraid of that, and I'm also not

1080
01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:36.840
<v Speaker 11>seeking that. I think the goal is we want to

1081
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:40.280
<v Speaker 11>be able to negotiate with reasonable people how to solve

1082
01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:41.039
<v Speaker 11>hard problems.

1083
01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>But that's not because this is a cut and dry issue.

1084
01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>If you're not in the country legally, it is the

1085
01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>position of this administration that you will not be in

1086
01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the country.

1087
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:54.760
<v Speaker 12>If there's Massachusetts struction requests, it would the Massachusetts State

1088
01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:57.800
<v Speaker 12>Police assist in mass deportations.

1089
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:00.880
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely not.

1090
01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:04.559
<v Speaker 9>But you know, let me say this. I do think

1091
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:08.239
<v Speaker 9>it's important that we all recognize that there's going to

1092
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:10.880
<v Speaker 9>be a lot of pressure on states and state officials,

1093
01:04:10.880 --> 01:04:12.719
<v Speaker 9>and I can assure you we're going to work really

1094
01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:18.480
<v Speaker 9>hard to deliver Some realities also need to be, you know, noted,

1095
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:21.480
<v Speaker 9>and that is in twenty sixteen, we had a very

1096
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:25.800
<v Speaker 9>different situation in the courts, and while I'm sure there

1097
01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:28.599
<v Speaker 9>may be litigation ahead, you know, there's a lot of

1098
01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:31.280
<v Speaker 9>other ways that people are going to act and need

1099
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:34.480
<v Speaker 9>to act for the sake of their states and their residents.

1100
01:04:34.519 --> 01:04:37.239
<v Speaker 1>There's yeah, okay, and I'm just going to cut her

1101
01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:40.039
<v Speaker 1>off because she's alone. And remember this woman did use

1102
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>state police to deport it's still cold outside cause you

1103
01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>haven't stepped out. There a spoiler alert on that, but

1104
01:04:47.239 --> 01:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what this segment's about. Sometimes spoiler alerts, although maybe

1105
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that we'll have any this time around.

1106
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>But to help us do it, we invite our NERD

1107
01:04:57.079 --> 01:05:00.679
<v Speaker 1>correspondent in Steven Kent joining us doing this morning.

1108
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing really well.

1109
01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I was super excited to hear about the executive order

1110
01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:09.559
<v Speaker 2>being signed extending your show, so congratulations.

1111
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we tried to get pardon so we didn't have

1112
01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>to do it, but that's how these things go.

1113
01:05:14.119 --> 01:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>But Ross is still going away, man.

1114
01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, although I did see a tweet yessay that

1115
01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:23.559
<v Speaker 1>said that Ross was freed, but it turned out to

1116
01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>be a different Ross. So sometimes selling drugs on the

1117
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:31.039
<v Speaker 1>internet or something were ran a site that did yeah,

1118
01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:35.159
<v Speaker 1>pored of us. Hey, man, dude, that guy's got a

1119
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:38.639
<v Speaker 1>crypto wallet with I guarantee it hidden away with some

1120
01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.079
<v Speaker 1>serious dollars. He's going to port himself on a yacht

1121
01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>to the Bahamas probably. So question, you weren't in La yesterday?

1122
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Were you not? That I know of?

1123
01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I just want to make sure you weren't in

1124
01:05:51.880 --> 01:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the Pokemon did right? Did you see the Pokemon riot

1125
01:05:57.039 --> 01:05:58.199
<v Speaker 1>at the Costco.

1126
01:05:58.960 --> 01:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>The Pokemon rye.

1127
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:01.360
<v Speaker 3>No, I've not heard about this.

1128
01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have to catch me out.

1129
01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know, yeah, I'm sorry. That was my bad.

1130
01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I forgot to tell Russ to send that over to you.

1131
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:11.559
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, apparently Pokemon produced some collect some I know

1132
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>nothing about this, so bear with me. I don't know

1133
01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>how much you're into collectibles, but they put out some

1134
01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>special Pokemon packs the collectors or resellers really wanted. And

1135
01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:26.559
<v Speaker 1>of course, like any good Black Friday style shopping event,

1136
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>there was not as many for the number of shoppers,

1137
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:34.719
<v Speaker 1>so grown adults fought each other in a giant melee

1138
01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:40.559
<v Speaker 1>in the isle of Costco over Pokemon cards and Shoppingly,

1139
01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:43.199
<v Speaker 1>it was all men. Apparently all their wives and girlfriends

1140
01:06:43.440 --> 01:06:45.719
<v Speaker 1>weren't there with them, So what are we doing?

1141
01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I kind of wonder, I kind of wonder if, like

1142
01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>ancient Greeks and Romans did this over the latest tablets

1143
01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:54.199
<v Speaker 2>that had been drawn up. You know, you couldn't you

1144
01:06:54.239 --> 01:06:58.840
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get people's writing super easily back then, thousands of

1145
01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and maybe people brawled over tablets because they

1146
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:04.840
<v Speaker 2>just really wanted something to read. And fast forward to

1147
01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:07.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, you know, people are just really searching

1148
01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:12.079
<v Speaker 2>for the next Pokemon. They wanted blast toys, they wanted Venosaur,

1149
01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:14.119
<v Speaker 2>and then they fight over the cards.

1150
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:17.239
<v Speaker 1>You know those those are Pokemon Pokemon.

1151
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I'm more of a Charmander guy.

1152
01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in the nineties, so Pokemon is part

1153
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>of my culture. I don't believe that I would fight

1154
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:30.599
<v Speaker 2>in a costco for the cards, but there are some

1155
01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>very unhappy people who are on their second or third

1156
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>marriage out there who really need some new cards.

1157
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:39.559
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you think you're flexing knowing all of.

1158
01:07:39.519 --> 01:07:41.760
<v Speaker 6>These I.

1159
01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Mean, and I know, and I know you're not a

1160
01:07:46.559 --> 01:07:49.559
<v Speaker 1>single guy because I saw the picture you posted with

1161
01:07:49.639 --> 01:07:54.159
<v Speaker 1>your wife going to movies, So like, you know, its

1162
01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:56.599
<v Speaker 1>just in this case, it was all it was all dudes,

1163
01:07:56.719 --> 01:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was just it's like the most embarrassing thing.

1164
01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like, why were I you arrested and you got

1165
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:02.639
<v Speaker 1>to go to the jail right where there's some guy

1166
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:06.079
<v Speaker 1>who like cut his drug dealer's throat. He's in one cell,

1167
01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and here's a guy over here just robbed the bang.

1168
01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Like what did you do? I punched a guy for

1169
01:08:10.280 --> 01:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a Pokemon card. I yeah, I gotta go well for you.

1170
01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:17.319
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and you know that the real truth that

1171
01:08:17.359 --> 01:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>people who used to be into these cards understand is

1172
01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>that you Geo cards were always better than Pokemon cards. Pokemon,

1173
01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was the show, it was the game

1174
01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Boy video game, but U Geo cards were better. I

1175
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:34.039
<v Speaker 2>might fight somebody over a dark magician or a Blue Eyes,

1176
01:08:34.039 --> 01:08:39.680
<v Speaker 2>White Dragon card Casey, but not over a venusaun a Blastois.

1177
01:08:41.039 --> 01:08:43.079
<v Speaker 1>I have to move on because I'm not looking up.

1178
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:46.439
<v Speaker 2>These viewers and then I'm never coming back on again.

1179
01:08:46.920 --> 01:08:49.239
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, you can, but I've just I refused.

1180
01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I only have I only have limited brain space, so

1181
01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not going to memorize any of this stuff.

1182
01:08:53.680 --> 01:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's let's talk about something that equally can hurt

1183
01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>your brain, and that's pro wrestling. Man, this year they

1184
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>moved was it just Monday Night Raw? Or is there

1185
01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>more over to Netflix? I haven't watched any, but I

1186
01:09:07.920 --> 01:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>have seen it when I've been flipping through Netflix. So

1187
01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:13.439
<v Speaker 1>and this is part of a bigger thing. Like for

1188
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the playoff games this last weekend, there were four different

1189
01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>streaming services you would have needed to have to be

1190
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:25.319
<v Speaker 1>able to watch each of those each of the four games,

1191
01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>right because ESPN did one, Fox was another, NBC was one,

1192
01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and then CBS and I had only two of them,

1193
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:36.159
<v Speaker 1>so feasibly, unless I had a TV in Frontery, which

1194
01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:39.399
<v Speaker 1>thankfully I did, I wouldn't have been able to watch

1195
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:42.319
<v Speaker 1>two of those games had I been, you know, trying

1196
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to do it on my phone. This is the future

1197
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:48.279
<v Speaker 1>of it. Is this real? Let's talk specifically about WWE

1198
01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:51.239
<v Speaker 1>and how it's impacting Netflix is a stock price, but

1199
01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>this is the future. Is this any better than when

1200
01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>we had cable because it seems almost as damn expensive

1201
01:09:57.720 --> 01:10:01.319
<v Speaker 1>and less convenient sometimes, Yeah, I mean, well.

1202
01:10:01.159 --> 01:10:04.439
<v Speaker 2>When you put it that way, no, it's not much better.

1203
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:08.079
<v Speaker 2>But we are talking for WWE RAW like this is

1204
01:10:08.159 --> 01:10:10.680
<v Speaker 2>very exciting for them because they are actually going to

1205
01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:14.439
<v Speaker 2>be able to vastly grow their audience and cultural cachet.

1206
01:10:14.520 --> 01:10:19.680
<v Speaker 2>And Netflix is super, super excited about WWE RAW. Investors

1207
01:10:19.960 --> 01:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>have absolutely rewarded Netflix for being nimble and keeping things

1208
01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:27.479
<v Speaker 2>fresh by adding things like live events and sports in

1209
01:10:27.560 --> 01:10:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the form of WWE.

1210
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:31.760
<v Speaker 3>But you know, their viewership.

1211
01:10:31.279 --> 01:10:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Was down thirty seven percent. That is like two million

1212
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:40.239
<v Speaker 2>people compared to the folks who watched the first episode

1213
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>or night one of WWE's new season here. So this

1214
01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:47.199
<v Speaker 2>is a bit of a problem. If people are going

1215
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:50.319
<v Speaker 2>to have to switch between different platforms to watch these things,

1216
01:10:50.359 --> 01:10:55.000
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get major atrophy frustration and people will

1217
01:10:55.039 --> 01:10:57.119
<v Speaker 2>start watching over time. So they're going to have to

1218
01:10:57.159 --> 01:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>fix this. We can't be a platform hopping or season

1219
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:03.039
<v Speaker 2>one and season two of different shows.

1220
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:06.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, and the other thing. And this is why

1221
01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I get annoyed this. And generally I don't watch a

1222
01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>show if it's being released episode by episode until the

1223
01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:16.199
<v Speaker 1>whole first season's there, and a lot of times until

1224
01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>they've announced a second season, because I cannot tell you

1225
01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the number of shows where I've invested time they seem

1226
01:11:23.960 --> 01:11:27.359
<v Speaker 1>to be popular and then they just don't make them,

1227
01:11:27.479 --> 01:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>or they take five years to make them again, and

1228
01:11:32.199 --> 01:11:36.159
<v Speaker 1>and so you get, why would I get emotionally invested

1229
01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in this thing if I'm just gonna get screwed on it.

1230
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think a lot of people feel

1231
01:11:41.560 --> 01:11:44.640
<v Speaker 2>that way, But by and large I think that this

1232
01:11:44.800 --> 01:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>is good. We need to get things like WWE sports

1233
01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:54.119
<v Speaker 2>live events. We need to get these things onto streaming platforms,

1234
01:11:54.159 --> 01:11:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and really just try to break up what remains of

1235
01:11:57.840 --> 01:12:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the cable cartel. Consumer are spending so little time on

1236
01:12:01.760 --> 01:12:05.840
<v Speaker 2>cable TV packages, and sports really is the last frontier

1237
01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:08.359
<v Speaker 2>that needs to get broken up and distributed out. But

1238
01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>in the end, what you're going to have is people

1239
01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:16.680
<v Speaker 2>who are carrying multiple twenty dollars packages, probably adding up

1240
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:19.079
<v Speaker 2>to one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty

1241
01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:22.000
<v Speaker 2>dollars is sort of the average. If you have all

1242
01:12:22.039 --> 01:12:25.159
<v Speaker 2>of these things and then you end up worse off

1243
01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:28.840
<v Speaker 2>than when you had a really expensive cable package, and

1244
01:12:28.880 --> 01:12:33.520
<v Speaker 2>that's just going to be a problem. Or you could

1245
01:12:33.560 --> 01:12:38.319
<v Speaker 2>also argue that people will just stop watching as much

1246
01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>television all together and just spend their time scrolling YouTube.

1247
01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I am. I'm more likely to watch a movie

1248
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>even if I don't have enough time for a full movie.

1249
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:53.239
<v Speaker 1>A lot of times I just won't stream anything because again,

1250
01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>it's the episode investment, and while they do produce a

1251
01:12:59.239 --> 01:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of movie I'm trying to I was just in

1252
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:03.479
<v Speaker 1>my head trying to think of all the different streaming platforms,

1253
01:13:03.520 --> 01:13:05.359
<v Speaker 1>like I don't even know that I know all the

1254
01:13:05.399 --> 01:13:09.119
<v Speaker 1>ones that I have, cause like my HBO, my HBO

1255
01:13:09.279 --> 01:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>is rolled into my phone bill because AT and T

1256
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.039
<v Speaker 1>did an offer and it still does that. I've got Prime,

1257
01:13:15.159 --> 01:13:17.880
<v Speaker 1>but that's a shipping thing that happens to come with

1258
01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:23.119
<v Speaker 1>that peacock paramount. I don't have Hulu anymore. I don't

1259
01:13:23.119 --> 01:13:25.800
<v Speaker 1>have Disney anymore because I don't need any of the

1260
01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>kids stuff. But it was only when there was a

1261
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>new Marvel movie. And now I'll just wait and dip

1262
01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:33.119
<v Speaker 1>in once a year, watch them and be done with it.

1263
01:13:33.199 --> 01:13:37.159
<v Speaker 1>So like you adapt, You're right, I've adapted how I'm

1264
01:13:37.199 --> 01:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>doing it, and you kind of game it. It's just

1265
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>like this was supposed to make things easier and more available,

1266
01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>and I just feel like it's it's more complicated. I

1267
01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>used to know that if I want to watch the NFC,

1268
01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>it was going to be on Fox. If the AFC

1269
01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>was going to be on CBS Monday Night, it was

1270
01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be on ABC. That was it for for

1271
01:13:57.119 --> 01:14:01.359
<v Speaker 1>like a decade. And now the where I listed plus Prime,

1272
01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:05.479
<v Speaker 1>you know Prime has the Thursday night stuff, so we'll see.

1273
01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>And also it comes down to the quality of what

1274
01:14:08.239 --> 01:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>they're producing. And there's a lot of people very nervous

1275
01:14:11.720 --> 01:14:15.359
<v Speaker 1>because they're going to tackle the Chronicles of Narnia stuff again.

1276
01:14:15.960 --> 01:14:19.479
<v Speaker 1>And from a religious standpoint, there's a lot of people

1277
01:14:20.239 --> 01:14:23.199
<v Speaker 1>and their right to be suspect because Hollywood's Hollywood, who

1278
01:14:23.199 --> 01:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>are sitting there looking at that, going are they going

1279
01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:30.159
<v Speaker 1>to try to pull all of the religious iconology out

1280
01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>of this? What are they going to do? Greta Gerwig

1281
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:38.279
<v Speaker 1>is tied into this. She's she's she's been a vocal

1282
01:14:40.920 --> 01:14:44.359
<v Speaker 1>leftists in but she's made some movies that are good,

1283
01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, where do you come down on this?

1284
01:14:46.960 --> 01:14:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Should people be nervous?

1285
01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:50.439
<v Speaker 3>All right?

1286
01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:55.359
<v Speaker 2>So I expect that there's going to be a lot

1287
01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:59.079
<v Speaker 2>of controversy with Greta Gerwig's Narnia leading up to it.

1288
01:14:59.199 --> 01:15:02.319
<v Speaker 2>What I expect more than anything is the usual round

1289
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of bad hype and actors saying things that they really

1290
01:15:07.720 --> 01:15:11.800
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't say when they're doing interviews, and producers saying stupid things.

1291
01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.239
<v Speaker 2>We've already had one of the executive producers for Greta

1292
01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Gerwig's Narnia series say that Greta is going to be

1293
01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:23.239
<v Speaker 2>having a quote very fresh take on Narnia and it's

1294
01:15:23.279 --> 01:15:25.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be quote rock and roll.

1295
01:15:26.319 --> 01:15:27.359
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean?

1296
01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:31.359
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean? We don't really know. But if

1297
01:15:31.399 --> 01:15:35.199
<v Speaker 2>you get into the sort of YouTube hype space for

1298
01:15:35.279 --> 01:15:38.560
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, that's really bad because that sounds like revisionism,

1299
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:43.239
<v Speaker 2>that sounds like modernism, that sounds like sort of an SJW.

1300
01:15:43.319 --> 01:15:48.479
<v Speaker 2>Whitewash of Narnia. So I want to lay all that

1301
01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:50.119
<v Speaker 2>out there, But then I want to tell you that

1302
01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I am optimistic about what Greta Gerwig could do here

1303
01:15:54.239 --> 01:15:56.319
<v Speaker 2>with Narnia and I'm happy to tell you why.

1304
01:15:56.960 --> 01:15:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, please? Did I have a follow up question that'll

1305
01:15:59.079 --> 01:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>probably track with the so why are you optimistic?

1306
01:16:03.520 --> 01:16:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Gerwig does not have a hugely problematic track record of

1307
01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:14.560
<v Speaker 2>saying bizarre leftist things in interviews. Her movies are typically

1308
01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>focused on women and women's issues and all that stuff,

1309
01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>which okay, fine, But Narnia is a place where she

1310
01:16:22.079 --> 01:16:26.560
<v Speaker 2>has just expressed through interviews a really detailed.

1311
01:16:26.039 --> 01:16:27.720
<v Speaker 5>Knowledge of C. S.

1312
01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Lewis's take on theology or reverence for it. She grew

1313
01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:34.520
<v Speaker 2>up Catholic, in my understanding is that she is no

1314
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:38.119
<v Speaker 2>longer a person who believes in God, but she loves

1315
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and misses Church is something that she has talked about.

1316
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:44.960
<v Speaker 2>She thinks it's a beautiful system of ideas, and I

1317
01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:48.479
<v Speaker 2>think that she is someone who really really wants to

1318
01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:51.760
<v Speaker 2>believe in what those ideas are about, and Narnia is

1319
01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:55.479
<v Speaker 2>sort of her expression of that. If we are charitable,

1320
01:16:55.640 --> 01:16:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that she's actually going to take this quite seriously.

1321
01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:00.880
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think it's going to be some sort

1322
01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:06.079
<v Speaker 2>of far left redoing of Narnia.

1323
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:07.159
<v Speaker 4>I really can't.

1324
01:17:07.640 --> 01:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I and I hope you're right. And here's and here's

1325
01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the thing too, you don't have to. I don't think

1326
01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to necessarily be a believer. And maybe some

1327
01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>people would disagree with me to be able to be

1328
01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:21.079
<v Speaker 1>loyal to source material, right, because even if you just

1329
01:17:21.159 --> 01:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>break it down to words and characters and you better

1330
01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:27.159
<v Speaker 1>make sure they're in there, that that's fine. It reminds

1331
01:17:27.199 --> 01:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>me of the Henry Cavill with the Witcher stuff, right.

1332
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:33.319
<v Speaker 1>But that ended up getting him in trouble. I ended

1333
01:17:33.359 --> 01:17:36.520
<v Speaker 1>up getting him in trouble because the director producer lady

1334
01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>was I saw the interview where she you could tell

1335
01:17:39.039 --> 01:17:43.239
<v Speaker 1>she hated that he liked the material because he would

1336
01:17:43.399 --> 01:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>he would speak up and and be vocal about it,

1337
01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>whereas he was the actor. Gerwig is the producer, right,

1338
01:17:50.079 --> 01:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and the director probably the director and producer. Yeah, so

1339
01:17:55.399 --> 01:17:57.840
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a little more control. But I saw Gerwig

1340
01:17:58.399 --> 01:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>doing an interview years ago with who was Harvey Weinstein's

1341
01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:07.039
<v Speaker 1>assistant who decided to give.

1342
01:18:07.239 --> 01:18:11.359
<v Speaker 2>The accolade and Star Wars, Yeah, Leslie.

1343
01:18:10.920 --> 01:18:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Headland, Headland. Yeah. I saw her in Headland talking about

1344
01:18:14.520 --> 01:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>all that feminist stuff, and so I don't know, I

1345
01:18:20.359 --> 01:18:22.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know. But the difference is people think that the

1346
01:18:22.960 --> 01:18:25.640
<v Speaker 1>fans won't give them a chance. To your point, if

1347
01:18:25.640 --> 01:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you just don't do an interview where you tell half

1348
01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:32.319
<v Speaker 1>or most of your intended audience that they're dumb prior

1349
01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:34.479
<v Speaker 1>to it, that would probably go a long way.

1350
01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:35.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1351
01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:39.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is where I think most movies go

1352
01:18:39.520 --> 01:18:43.079
<v Speaker 2>awry is in the press tour, where actors and directors

1353
01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:46.880
<v Speaker 2>say just really bizarre things about the audience and about

1354
01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:48.600
<v Speaker 2>their intentions behind the movie.

1355
01:18:48.840 --> 01:18:49.079
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1356
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:52.399
<v Speaker 2>You and I debated when Barbie came out whether or

1357
01:18:52.439 --> 01:18:55.000
<v Speaker 2>not this was a super woke movie or if it

1358
01:18:55.119 --> 01:18:59.640
<v Speaker 2>was just feminism one point oh, And I think it's

1359
01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:04.800
<v Speaker 2>really importance to distinguish between woke politics and feminism. I mean,

1360
01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:10.800
<v Speaker 2>woke politics hates feminism, where like feminism.

1361
01:19:10.279 --> 01:19:12.479
<v Speaker 1>It's just tell you, yeah, yeah.

1362
01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:15.000
<v Speaker 2>There are things that are just for women, and that

1363
01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:17.520
<v Speaker 2>men and women are very different and they have different

1364
01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:20.159
<v Speaker 2>interests and men are sometimes very bad to women.

1365
01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:22.119
<v Speaker 3>Wokis hate that stuff.

1366
01:19:22.199 --> 01:19:25.960
<v Speaker 2>They think that women don't exist, and that I think

1367
01:19:26.039 --> 01:19:30.359
<v Speaker 2>is sort of important to give Greta Gerwig that creative

1368
01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:32.800
<v Speaker 2>space to be a feminist one point zero and not

1369
01:19:32.920 --> 01:19:35.760
<v Speaker 2>accuser of being woke. But this is going to come

1370
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:39.199
<v Speaker 2>out in twenty twenty six on Thanksgiving on Netflix it's

1371
01:19:39.239 --> 01:19:42.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be a blockbuster for Netflix if it is good,

1372
01:19:43.319 --> 01:19:46.000
<v Speaker 2>and it will, I'm sorry. It will first be in theaters,

1373
01:19:46.039 --> 01:19:51.079
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, theaters November twenty twenty six. It will be

1374
01:19:51.119 --> 01:19:53.359
<v Speaker 2>in theaters for two to four weeks, and then it

1375
01:19:53.399 --> 01:19:56.520
<v Speaker 2>will hit Netflix for Christmas. And it is it is

1376
01:19:56.560 --> 01:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>a Christmas movie Narnia.

1377
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:00.159
<v Speaker 5>But I got to tell you, I.

1378
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Think there will be a little bit of disconnect if

1379
01:20:02.359 --> 01:20:03.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not the Lion, the.

1380
01:20:03.479 --> 01:20:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Witch and the Wardrobe.

1381
01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:08.199
<v Speaker 2>And Gerwig has said that that's not where she intends

1382
01:20:08.239 --> 01:20:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to start.

1383
01:20:09.760 --> 01:20:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've read all I've read the whole series. As

1384
01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:14.199
<v Speaker 1>a kid, we were that thing out. So I look,

1385
01:20:14.239 --> 01:20:18.439
<v Speaker 1>if you're a true fan and there is some loyalty

1386
01:20:18.560 --> 01:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>just because they people have been bait and switched so much,

1387
01:20:22.039 --> 01:20:24.159
<v Speaker 1>it'll probably go a long way. And around the Christmas

1388
01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:25.800
<v Speaker 1>season is probably very smart marketing.

1389
01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:26.079
<v Speaker 3>All right.

1390
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:28.159
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even get into video game stuff, but maybe

1391
01:20:28.199 --> 01:20:32.239
<v Speaker 1>we'll do that next week. Real quick, thirty seconds. How

1392
01:20:32.279 --> 01:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>insane is DC right now? Around you? Everyone just losing

1393
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>their minds.

1394
01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, things have calmed down quite a bit, but yeah,

1395
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of people I think looking at

1396
01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:45.560
<v Speaker 2>their savings accounts, their investments and their pensions and wondering

1397
01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:48.600
<v Speaker 2>if they can retire early, and that is part of

1398
01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:49.479
<v Speaker 2>draining the swamp.

1399
01:20:50.079 --> 01:20:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, all right, drain away. We'll chat soon. Appreciate it.

1400
01:20:54.239 --> 01:20:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Have a good one.

1401
01:20:55.239 --> 01:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, there you go, Stephen Kent, you're here on

1402
01:20:57.640 --> 01:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the KCO Day radio program. I mentioned video game. I'll

1403
01:21:01.039 --> 01:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>mention what I saw because I had to have Ross

1404
01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:05.039
<v Speaker 1>confirm it for me. We'll do that coming up next.

1405
01:21:05.079 --> 01:21:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Hang on, dang it, I hate that Ross. You ever

1406
01:21:07.319 --> 01:21:09.319
<v Speaker 1>do that where you're like you're just reading something you

1407
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>accidentally pulled down too far and now it reloads and

1408
01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:14.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever you were reading is never to be found again.

1409
01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:20.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can go, I'll search. In fact, so

1410
01:21:20.560 --> 01:21:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin net and Yahoo tweeted a defense of Elon Musk

1411
01:21:27.760 --> 01:21:32.800
<v Speaker 1>over salute gait or whatever. I didn't. I didn't think

1412
01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:35.840
<v Speaker 1>it was funny. Yesterday, Scott Jennings was on CNN calling

1413
01:21:35.880 --> 01:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>his panelists salute truthers. I don't know why. All right,

1414
01:21:39.199 --> 01:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>So net Yahoo tweets out, I'm gonna find this because

1415
01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:49.199
<v Speaker 1>it's just so damn funny. All right, here we go,

1416
01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:53.239
<v Speaker 1>here we go. All right, So this is one hour ago.

1417
01:21:55.680 --> 01:21:58.760
<v Speaker 1>He said, Elon Musk is being falsely smeared Elon's a

1418
01:21:58.760 --> 01:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>great friend of Israel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not that

1419
01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that's that's not the funny part. What do you think

1420
01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the comments underneath it are retweeting this now? All right?

1421
01:22:11.760 --> 01:22:13.560
<v Speaker 1>So just repost that if you go to Casey on

1422
01:22:13.600 --> 01:22:15.319
<v Speaker 1>the Radio or it's the top thing on net now

1423
01:22:15.319 --> 01:22:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Who's Twitter account? If you want to head over there,

1424
01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Ross you haven't seen this one. If you had to guess,

1425
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:22.279
<v Speaker 1>what do you think the comments are to Benjamin nett

1426
01:22:22.399 --> 01:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Yahoo saying that it wasn't a Nazi salute Elon's a

1427
01:22:26.479 --> 01:22:27.199
<v Speaker 1>friend of Israel.

1428
01:22:27.239 --> 01:22:31.560
<v Speaker 6>Mean the craziest thing that they're probably saying that Benjamin Netanya,

1429
01:22:31.600 --> 01:22:32.840
<v Speaker 6>who is a Nazi.

1430
01:22:33.760 --> 01:22:36.880
<v Speaker 1>There's a little of that, but he also doesn't understand.

1431
01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:46.199
<v Speaker 1>He didn't get it. I remember one of the funniest

1432
01:22:46.199 --> 01:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>thing exchanges I ever saw on Twitter. There's an author

1433
01:22:48.840 --> 01:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I think his name is Chase Noa no Savage, Luke sav.

1434
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:59.239
<v Speaker 1>All right, so there's an author who wrote he wrote

1435
01:22:59.279 --> 01:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a book or I wrote an article like an elongated article,

1436
01:23:04.920 --> 01:23:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and he posted he posted a link to it, and

1437
01:23:08.800 --> 01:23:12.399
<v Speaker 1>then somebody under it was like, well, here's what the

1438
01:23:12.439 --> 01:23:15.239
<v Speaker 1>author really meant, and then it was just woke garbage

1439
01:23:15.319 --> 01:23:17.199
<v Speaker 1>right where it was clear they were clearly trying to

1440
01:23:17.239 --> 01:23:22.439
<v Speaker 1>interpret which was not not a woke thing. And the

1441
01:23:23.000 --> 01:23:27.479
<v Speaker 1>guy's like, actually the author means this, and Savage, without

1442
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>identifying himself, goes, well, no it doesn't. He goes, I

1443
01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:38.199
<v Speaker 1>know the comedy. I goes, I know the author, and

1444
01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>it was. And then when the guy, when the dude

1445
01:23:41.640 --> 01:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>told him he was the author, the guy doubled down.

1446
01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:48.199
<v Speaker 1>He goes, well, here's what you really meant. So, yeah, man,

1447
01:23:48.239 --> 01:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>that's hilarious watching some Luna lunatics that they're telling net Yahoo.

1448
01:23:54.439 --> 01:24:01.159
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't understand anti semitism. Okay, all right, if that

1449
01:24:01.199 --> 01:24:03.359
<v Speaker 1>works for you, all right, real quickly. I mentioned the

1450
01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:07.760
<v Speaker 1>video game thing, and here's why, because again I I

1451
01:24:07.800 --> 01:24:10.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have zero knowledge of video games, but compared to

1452
01:24:10.960 --> 01:24:15.279
<v Speaker 1>like Ross and probably Steven to some extent, it's very limited.

1453
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:18.960
<v Speaker 1>And I saw this poll and it was done by

1454
01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:21.840
<v Speaker 1>like PC gamer or something whatever, and it was about

1455
01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming GTA title and it but in the end

1456
01:24:27.760 --> 01:24:30.520
<v Speaker 1>it it said, so the game, the minimum costs for

1457
01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the game is expected to be one hundred dollars. And

1458
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that's of course, you know with games, they tear it,

1459
01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:37.920
<v Speaker 1>so you can spend the minimum or you can spend

1460
01:24:37.920 --> 01:24:41.439
<v Speaker 1>a whole hell of a lot more. Do will you

1461
01:24:41.640 --> 01:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>be purchasing it? Now? This isn't scientific, but what I

1462
01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>found wild one. I didn't realize they were in charge

1463
01:24:47.520 --> 01:24:54.239
<v Speaker 1>of one hundred dollars for a game minimum, But also seventy

1464
01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:58.840
<v Speaker 1>percent said no, not touching this, Like twenty percent said yes.

1465
01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:01.600
<v Speaker 1>The rest are mushy middle a game like that, I

1466
01:25:01.600 --> 01:25:04.720
<v Speaker 1>would assume saturation is far in excess of thirty percent

1467
01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:08.399
<v Speaker 1>in the market. So what's up with that?

1468
01:25:08.560 --> 01:25:08.720
<v Speaker 3>Right?

1469
01:25:08.840 --> 01:25:11.279
<v Speaker 6>Is that really the attitude they've been saying for a

1470
01:25:11.319 --> 01:25:12.880
<v Speaker 6>while that it's going to be like a like a

1471
01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:15.760
<v Speaker 6>one hundred dollars game. Now, their games have already gone

1472
01:25:15.840 --> 01:25:17.880
<v Speaker 6>up in the past few years, like what was sixties

1473
01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:19.920
<v Speaker 6>now seventy, And what you've been seeing is a lot

1474
01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:22.720
<v Speaker 6>of games have been coming out with that's the standard now.

1475
01:25:22.800 --> 01:25:24.880
<v Speaker 6>So the typical cost of a game is sixty nine

1476
01:25:24.880 --> 01:25:26.760
<v Speaker 6>to ninety nine. That's how much is going to cost you,

1477
01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:27.079
<v Speaker 6>and like the.

1478
01:25:27.159 --> 01:25:29.159
<v Speaker 1>Yay, yeah I did, I just went through the Diablo

1479
01:25:29.239 --> 01:25:29.920
<v Speaker 1>thing now, but.

1480
01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:33.680
<v Speaker 6>They also release versions that are one hundred dollars or more.

1481
01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:36.159
<v Speaker 6>You've seen this with like Space Marine and other different

1482
01:25:36.199 --> 01:25:38.840
<v Speaker 6>games where it's like you can get that that version

1483
01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:41.000
<v Speaker 6>of the game, or you can get this version of

1484
01:25:41.039 --> 01:25:43.680
<v Speaker 6>the game that comes with like all the future dealc's

1485
01:25:44.479 --> 01:25:48.279
<v Speaker 6>less micro transactions, but it's like over one hundred dollars.

1486
01:25:48.199 --> 01:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's pay to play upfront, yes, yeah, okay, yeah.

1487
01:25:52.560 --> 01:25:54.640
<v Speaker 6>So the theory is in the gaming industry because there's

1488
01:25:54.640 --> 01:25:56.720
<v Speaker 6>some people in the gaming industry that are like, well,

1489
01:25:56.720 --> 01:26:00.439
<v Speaker 6>this is really good for games because players people would

1490
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:02.319
<v Speaker 6>rather pay the one hundred dollars and not have any

1491
01:26:02.359 --> 01:26:05.479
<v Speaker 6>micro transactions then buy a game for sixty seventy bucks

1492
01:26:05.680 --> 01:26:07.479
<v Speaker 6>and then you know, you end up spending even more

1493
01:26:07.479 --> 01:26:09.399
<v Speaker 6>on that in the micro transactions, whereas I say, I

1494
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:11.039
<v Speaker 6>don't like playing any of the games that have any

1495
01:26:11.079 --> 01:26:13.399
<v Speaker 6>of the micro transactions when I find out there. But

1496
01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:16.439
<v Speaker 6>the other thing about the GTA game is there's big

1497
01:26:16.520 --> 01:26:18.760
<v Speaker 6>rumors that it's going to be woke, which.

1498
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Is and this was where I was going to go

1499
01:26:21.279 --> 01:26:27.079
<v Speaker 1>with Steven, because if DC's doing what they're doing, college

1500
01:26:27.119 --> 01:26:29.439
<v Speaker 1>campuses who want public money are also going to have

1501
01:26:29.479 --> 01:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to divorce themselves a lot of this DEI stuff. The

1502
01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>military is going to be purging it. If what Trump

1503
01:26:34.159 --> 01:26:38.880
<v Speaker 1>is hoping to do is accomplished. And if companies aren't

1504
01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:41.960
<v Speaker 1>beholden to ESG scores so that they can get working

1505
01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:45.199
<v Speaker 1>capital to literally stay in business, they're not going to

1506
01:26:45.199 --> 01:26:47.439
<v Speaker 1>be incentivized because now it's just a carry costs that

1507
01:26:47.520 --> 01:26:53.479
<v Speaker 1>you don't need. How long before it it like, if

1508
01:26:53.479 --> 01:26:56.039
<v Speaker 1>you're a video game development company, how many times have

1509
01:26:56.119 --> 01:26:59.760
<v Speaker 1>we talked about insanity like the Dragon game where they like,

1510
01:26:59.800 --> 01:27:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm non binary like all this stuff. Yeah, I mean

1511
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that's like we just talked about all of this stuff,

1512
01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and so does it de incentivize the game companies?

1513
01:27:10.399 --> 01:27:10.680
<v Speaker 6>Now?

1514
01:27:10.960 --> 01:27:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Like where is that trickle down effect? If in fact

1515
01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>GTA six is woke because of all the massive losses

1516
01:27:16.920 --> 01:27:21.439
<v Speaker 1>they're taking, this seems like the easy answer. I don't

1517
01:27:21.439 --> 01:27:24.119
<v Speaker 1>know the answer to that. Speaking of CNN real quick,

1518
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>CNN is uh, hold on, Mark, here we go. H

1519
01:27:31.159 --> 01:27:34.279
<v Speaker 1>new report out CNN plans left hundreds of employees to

1520
01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:37.680
<v Speaker 1>cut costs. NBC as well, Uh, there's there, there's a

1521
01:27:37.720 --> 01:27:41.319
<v Speaker 1>lot a lot of changes, changes coming down the pipe.

1522
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:44.479
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sitting here and one don't fire Scott Jennings

1523
01:27:44.520 --> 01:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>if you keep anybody there, but people like Jim Acosta, like, listen,

1524
01:27:48.800 --> 01:27:51.119
<v Speaker 1>this guy doesn't get it. He's doing nothing to try

1525
01:27:51.159 --> 01:27:52.159
<v Speaker 1>to retain his position.

1526
01:27:52.199 --> 01:27:52.359
<v Speaker 4>There.

1527
01:27:52.359 --> 01:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I gotta think of costa real quick.

1528
01:27:53.880 --> 01:27:57.039
<v Speaker 12>Let's listen to this covering the first Trump administration when

1529
01:27:57.079 --> 01:28:01.319
<v Speaker 12>they had riding outside uh of the White House. I

1530
01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:03.840
<v Speaker 12>mean that was covered on CN on what you're saying

1531
01:28:03.880 --> 01:28:04.800
<v Speaker 12>this is, this is not.

1532
01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Starting to Republican Congress.

1533
01:28:06.720 --> 01:28:08.560
<v Speaker 12>Just spin a tail and pull the wool out of

1534
01:28:08.600 --> 01:28:09.239
<v Speaker 12>people's eyes.

1535
01:28:09.319 --> 01:28:11.600
<v Speaker 13>Now, this is CNN, this is the news.

1536
01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:14.279
<v Speaker 1>We're a By the way, I just said, you can't

1537
01:28:14.279 --> 01:28:18.520
<v Speaker 1>spin a tail and lie to Rep. Tim Timber for.

1538
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:21.479
<v Speaker 14>Truth, and that's why more people are watching the cartoon

1539
01:28:21.560 --> 01:28:24.760
<v Speaker 14>network SpongeBob reruns right now. Jim, Look, I left the

1540
01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:27.199
<v Speaker 14>White House hearing a riot. My life was threatened. My

1541
01:28:27.239 --> 01:28:29.680
<v Speaker 14>life has been threatened within the last few weeks. Yet

1542
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:32.479
<v Speaker 14>there's no coverage of that, and you all continue this

1543
01:28:32.720 --> 01:28:35.880
<v Speaker 14>narrative of trap attacking Trump. You just can't stand the

1544
01:28:35.880 --> 01:28:36.640
<v Speaker 14>fact that he won.

1545
01:28:37.920 --> 01:28:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so some big changes might be coming there,

1546
01:28:41.279 --> 01:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>so I don't look. My point is, whether it's video games,

1547
01:28:43.760 --> 01:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>CNN or any of the rest, are they or aren't

1548
01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:49.239
<v Speaker 1>they going to follow suit. That's the thing I'm going

1549
01:28:49.319 --> 01:28:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to be very interested to keep watching. All right, let's

1550
01:28:51.520 --> 01:28:54.600
<v Speaker 1>get let's watch the weather, shall we with race? Yeah sure,

1551
01:28:55.079 --> 01:28:58.079
<v Speaker 1>all right, watch away, sir, go ahead, Yeah yeah, well

1552
01:28:58.479 --> 01:28:59.039
<v Speaker 1>let's just go.

1553
01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:02.720
<v Speaker 8>Because now final totals east of us where they were

1554
01:29:02.760 --> 01:29:05.079
<v Speaker 8>heaviest to come in, and it was nine at the

1555
01:29:05.319 --> 01:29:10.159
<v Speaker 8>right BROTHERERS National Museum nine inches of snow, and I

1556
01:29:10.199 --> 01:29:12.680
<v Speaker 8>got an eight and a half at Lowland, North Carolina

1557
01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:15.960
<v Speaker 8>and Hatteras eight inch. I mean, just crazy numbers. Even

1558
01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:19.520
<v Speaker 8>South Carolina, the beaches they had snowfall. And now we're

1559
01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:22.960
<v Speaker 8>still getting something from the weather services. There still may

1560
01:29:23.000 --> 01:29:26.319
<v Speaker 8>be some patchy ice in spots, especially the shady areas,

1561
01:29:26.319 --> 01:29:30.000
<v Speaker 8>but the recovery we'll continue with temperatures mid upper thirties today.

1562
01:29:30.600 --> 01:29:32.840
<v Speaker 8>I'll probably be around forty on either side of that

1563
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:35.359
<v Speaker 8>on Friday, and then Saturday in the little mid forties,

1564
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:37.960
<v Speaker 8>and we'll crack fifty by Sunday. And all these days

1565
01:29:38.039 --> 01:29:40.600
<v Speaker 8>under high pressure. It will be sunny, even though overlight

1566
01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:42.640
<v Speaker 8>lows are gonna come up, still going to be in

1567
01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:46.000
<v Speaker 8>the teens in some spots the tryad West Tomorrow morning

1568
01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:49.159
<v Speaker 8>near twenty for the triangle, and then we'll keep that

1569
01:29:49.239 --> 01:29:52.479
<v Speaker 8>for Saturday morning. Then Sunday load to mid twenties and

1570
01:29:52.479 --> 01:29:56.039
<v Speaker 8>probably near freezing for an overnight low Monday morning, which

1571
01:29:56.159 --> 01:29:59.159
<v Speaker 8>may lead to some light frozen precipitation. We have to

1572
01:29:59.159 --> 01:30:00.560
<v Speaker 8>see on that doesn't look like it's going to be

1573
01:30:00.560 --> 01:30:02.760
<v Speaker 8>all that aggressive, but temperatures are going to be marginal.

1574
01:30:03.079 --> 01:30:05.600
<v Speaker 8>We'll see if the presep gets in here Monday morning, Casey,

1575
01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:09.199
<v Speaker 8>before we see temperatures rise above freezing. But other than that,

1576
01:30:09.239 --> 01:30:11.439
<v Speaker 8>the warm up continue next week. We've got a shot

1577
01:30:11.800 --> 01:30:14.560
<v Speaker 8>at least a shot at maybe sixty in sub spots

1578
01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:15.680
<v Speaker 8>by Wednesday.

1579
01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll feel like ninety. All right, Thanks, appreciate it, Have

1580
01:30:18.920 --> 01:30:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a good one and we'll come back. Chat with Jeff

1581
01:30:20.800 --> 01:30:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Bellinger next. Jeff Bellinger with us, Jeff, what's happening?

1582
01:30:24.439 --> 01:30:28.359
<v Speaker 13>Welcome morning, Casey. Stocks advanced in midweek trading. The major

1583
01:30:28.399 --> 01:30:31.319
<v Speaker 13>affages had gains that range from three tenths percent to

1584
01:30:31.399 --> 01:30:34.720
<v Speaker 13>one and three tenths percent. The stock market futures have

1585
01:30:34.760 --> 01:30:37.680
<v Speaker 13>been mixed all morning. S and P futures down six

1586
01:30:37.760 --> 01:30:40.399
<v Speaker 13>points and the NASDAC futures down one hundred and three.

1587
01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:43.399
<v Speaker 13>The Dow futures, though, are up forty two points now.

1588
01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:47.119
<v Speaker 13>Shares of Alaska Air moved higher and after hours trading

1589
01:30:47.159 --> 01:30:50.960
<v Speaker 13>the carrier began, became the latest airline to post better

1590
01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:55.000
<v Speaker 13>than expected fourth quarter results. Alaska Air's first quarter guidance

1591
01:30:55.279 --> 01:30:58.680
<v Speaker 13>also top forecasts. The median price of a home here

1592
01:30:58.680 --> 01:31:01.920
<v Speaker 13>in the US increased nearly five percent and twenty twenty

1593
01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:05.159
<v Speaker 13>four to a record three hundred fifty thousand dollars. This

1594
01:31:05.279 --> 01:31:08.439
<v Speaker 13>according to ADAM, home values went up and just over

1595
01:31:08.560 --> 01:31:11.720
<v Speaker 13>ninety percent of the markets that were reviewed. Couple of

1596
01:31:11.760 --> 01:31:15.960
<v Speaker 13>reports out this morning suggest many Americans' personal finances are

1597
01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:19.479
<v Speaker 13>tight right now. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphias as

1598
01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:22.880
<v Speaker 13>a record share of credit cardholders are paying just the

1599
01:31:22.960 --> 01:31:26.520
<v Speaker 13>minimum every month, and bank rates. Latest survey found a

1600
01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:30.479
<v Speaker 13>majority of Americans could not cover an unexpected one thousand

1601
01:31:30.520 --> 01:31:33.920
<v Speaker 13>dollars expense from their savings. Just forty one percent of

1602
01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:37.720
<v Speaker 13>respondent said their emergency savings were enough to handle such

1603
01:31:37.720 --> 01:31:41.640
<v Speaker 13>an expense, and a proposed class action casey accuses Apple

1604
01:31:41.960 --> 01:31:44.560
<v Speaker 13>of hiding the fact that the bands on the company's

1605
01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:49.439
<v Speaker 13>smart watches contain excessive amounts of forever chemicals. The suit,

1606
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:53.239
<v Speaker 13>filed in a California federal court, says Apple leads watch

1607
01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:56.479
<v Speaker 13>buyers to think the devices can improve their health, but

1608
01:31:56.600 --> 01:31:59.199
<v Speaker 13>chemicals in the watch bands can be harmful.

1609
01:31:59.399 --> 01:32:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Casey, all right, thank you, sir, do appreciate it. We'll

1610
01:32:02.760 --> 01:32:03.399
<v Speaker 1>chat tomorrow.

1611
01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:05.079
<v Speaker 13>Sounds good talk to you then.

1612
01:32:05.479 --> 01:32:08.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. This

1613
01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:13.079
<v Speaker 1>is interesting. So how do they think people aren't going

1614
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to be able to figure this out? So the sister

1615
01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:19.079
<v Speaker 1>in law of Pete HeiG Seth's second wife, the one

1616
01:32:19.079 --> 01:32:22.880
<v Speaker 1>who swears that this thing happened even though haig Seth

1617
01:32:22.960 --> 01:32:27.159
<v Speaker 1>and the former wife both deny it, that is being

1618
01:32:27.279 --> 01:32:30.960
<v Speaker 1>used to attempt to hold up his nomination. Are you

1619
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:33.560
<v Speaker 1>guys sitting down? Everybody's sitting down. It's gonna be very shocking.

1620
01:32:34.680 --> 01:32:37.039
<v Speaker 1>You know where she works or who she works with?

1621
01:32:37.159 --> 01:32:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And for the Democrat ranking member on the Armed Services Committee,

1622
01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna repeat this, the ranking member who is that?

1623
01:32:50.119 --> 01:32:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Adam Smith? I think the carterssman from California. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1624
01:32:57.760 --> 01:33:00.479
<v Speaker 1>works as a partner of the law firm with the woman.

1625
01:33:02.479 --> 01:33:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Is it a coincidence? I don't know, maybe, but that's

1626
01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>an interesting little nugget there. You can still go over

1627
01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:13.279
<v Speaker 1>the page and see their smiling faces there. That's interesting.

1628
01:33:14.359 --> 01:33:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that's just a coincidence. I wouldn't worry too

1629
01:33:17.000 --> 01:33:17.560
<v Speaker 1>much about that.

1630
01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1631
01:33:18.840 --> 01:33:21.399
<v Speaker 1>You know. One of the things too, is Trump sat

1632
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>down for a first interview. I guess he's done well.

1633
01:33:23.720 --> 01:33:25.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean he did do some Q and A obviously

1634
01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Oval office. Who remember that telling that reporter

1635
01:33:28.920 --> 01:33:31.600
<v Speaker 1>to hush. The reporter apologized to by the way, that

1636
01:33:31.720 --> 01:33:35.159
<v Speaker 1>was kind of a funny exchange. But Trump's dropping some

1637
01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:36.960
<v Speaker 1>little hints in there and some little of this, a

1638
01:33:36.960 --> 01:33:38.920
<v Speaker 1>little that people trying to pick up where we're headed

1639
01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:42.359
<v Speaker 1>for this thing, and this was a rather interesting one

1640
01:33:42.760 --> 01:33:45.079
<v Speaker 1>if you want to try to read into this, or

1641
01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:46.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe you don't even have to.

1642
01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:48.840
<v Speaker 5>Sky want to run giving everybody partons and you.

1643
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Know that talking about Biden.

1644
01:33:50.399 --> 01:33:53.239
<v Speaker 13>Obviously Skut wont to run giving everybody partons. And you

1645
01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:58.319
<v Speaker 13>know the funny thing, maybe the sad thing is he

1646
01:33:58.399 --> 01:33:59.840
<v Speaker 13>didn't give himself a part.

1647
01:34:01.119 --> 01:34:04.079
<v Speaker 5>And if you look at it, it all had to

1648
01:34:04.079 --> 01:34:05.079
<v Speaker 5>do with him.

1649
01:34:06.920 --> 01:34:10.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm now more convinced that Baron, that's what Baron Trump

1650
01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:15.000
<v Speaker 1>told him something along those lines were coming for you,

1651
01:34:15.159 --> 01:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>or you didn't pardon yourself. I did see the because

1652
01:34:18.359 --> 01:34:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you can only see his lips for a few moments

1653
01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>because of how Baron speaks, where you kind of see

1654
01:34:23.680 --> 01:34:25.359
<v Speaker 1>it on the angle and then he turns his head

1655
01:34:25.399 --> 01:34:27.119
<v Speaker 1>and then you can see the last part of what

1656
01:34:27.159 --> 01:34:31.079
<v Speaker 1>he says. And they were trying to do the lip

1657
01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:36.760
<v Speaker 1>reader thing. And I don't know, man, because a lot

1658
01:34:36.800 --> 01:34:41.199
<v Speaker 1>of times with lip reader stuff, once they tell you

1659
01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that this is what you should look for, your brain

1660
01:34:43.479 --> 01:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>may try to attach to it rather than being, you know,

1661
01:34:46.800 --> 01:34:50.079
<v Speaker 1>trying to evaluate whether it's accurate. But I don't know.

1662
01:34:50.159 --> 01:34:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm sure Trump when he's sitting in a room

1663
01:34:52.720 --> 01:34:55.640
<v Speaker 1>somewhere and Baron's in there, maybe Milania's in there, and

1664
01:34:55.640 --> 01:34:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple advisors, maybe the chief of staff, I'm sure

1665
01:34:59.560 --> 01:35:05.079
<v Speaker 1>he opened he says this stuff. And I'm sure as

1666
01:35:05.079 --> 01:35:07.159
<v Speaker 1>they were sitting on the campaign trail there and then

1667
01:35:07.039 --> 01:35:09.960
<v Speaker 1>they were in DC, you know, for everything with the inauguration,

1668
01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:13.159
<v Speaker 1>his whole family's there. You know, we saw there was

1669
01:35:13.159 --> 01:35:16.359
<v Speaker 1>that video that emerged of Trump sitting there with his

1670
01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:20.479
<v Speaker 1>now comms director, the White House Press director who is

1671
01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:23.359
<v Speaker 1>his comms director at the time, who we interviewed Miss Levitt,

1672
01:35:23.880 --> 01:35:26.439
<v Speaker 1>And you saw the process in that video of how

1673
01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump tweets, where she's sitting there with the laptop and

1674
01:35:29.800 --> 01:35:32.039
<v Speaker 1>he's just he's watching stuff and I think he was

1675
01:35:32.079 --> 01:35:35.439
<v Speaker 1>watching Kamala A Kamala's speech or something, and he's just

1676
01:35:35.479 --> 01:35:38.760
<v Speaker 1>barking out the tweets. She's typing them. He's making comments

1677
01:35:38.800 --> 01:35:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to everybody who's in the room. So he talks. Sure,

1678
01:35:41.560 --> 01:35:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that's going to permeate the brain of the people around him,

1679
01:35:43.840 --> 01:35:50.960
<v Speaker 1>especially people who have suffered indignities because of Trump's position.

1680
01:35:52.600 --> 01:35:55.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is what happens with kids of president's

1681
01:35:55.359 --> 01:35:58.239
<v Speaker 1>man or kids of famous people for that matter. It

1682
01:35:58.319 --> 01:36:03.439
<v Speaker 1>goes they either resent the who attack them unfairly or

1683
01:36:03.479 --> 01:36:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the people that they love, or they end up resenting

1684
01:36:06.720 --> 01:36:10.880
<v Speaker 1>their parents for putting them in that position. You see

1685
01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:17.079
<v Speaker 1>this stuff all the time. So yeah, I'm sure that

1686
01:36:17.119 --> 01:36:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Trump has brought this up just in conversation around there

1687
01:36:20.119 --> 01:36:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and they It wouldn't surprise me, to say the very least.

1688
01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:27.000
<v Speaker 1>All Right, one more quick thing. Oh, it's right, because

1689
01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:28.920
<v Speaker 1>we hit Jeff early. I actually got a couple more

1690
01:36:29.000 --> 01:36:31.079
<v Speaker 1>minutes than I used to or than I normally do.

1691
01:36:34.279 --> 01:36:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Why is this not loading? Okay, here it goes, so

1692
01:36:39.399 --> 01:36:42.079
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into this more. Do you think it's worth

1693
01:36:42.119 --> 01:36:46.399
<v Speaker 1>the time to do another January sixth panel? In this case,

1694
01:36:46.439 --> 01:36:49.520
<v Speaker 1>it would be to invest the investigate the investigators. But

1695
01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>remember the investigators who were on that committee themselves got pardons.

1696
01:36:55.239 --> 01:36:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Although the one chick who is said to have lied

1697
01:36:58.760 --> 01:37:01.000
<v Speaker 1>at the behest of chaining, she was not on the

1698
01:37:01.039 --> 01:37:08.039
<v Speaker 1>pardon list. Former staffer for Trump who ended up And

1699
01:37:08.119 --> 01:37:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you saw this whole exchange message message exchange, and so

1700
01:37:14.840 --> 01:37:17.479
<v Speaker 1>you know there are pieces to it, and that was

1701
01:37:17.520 --> 01:37:20.079
<v Speaker 1>a big Remember this is the woman. Her name escapes

1702
01:37:20.079 --> 01:37:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to me, it doesn't matter. She's the one who claimed

1703
01:37:22.760 --> 01:37:26.119
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump tried to punch the Secret Service driver

1704
01:37:26.279 --> 01:37:30.479
<v Speaker 1>of the Beast or attacked you remember that insane allegation

1705
01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that he was attacking. It was part of the January

1706
01:37:33.760 --> 01:37:36.600
<v Speaker 1>sixth narrative because I don't remember the motivator. He wanted

1707
01:37:36.640 --> 01:37:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to go over there, he didn't, and he physically accosted

1708
01:37:39.680 --> 01:37:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a Secret Service member, which does that make any sense

1709
01:37:42.680 --> 01:37:47.239
<v Speaker 1>to you? But you could see that Cheney was the

1710
01:37:47.239 --> 01:37:52.439
<v Speaker 1>one really leading that to fruition. So even though the

1711
01:37:52.439 --> 01:37:56.159
<v Speaker 1>committee members may be covered, jack Smith's not covered. There

1712
01:37:56.199 --> 01:37:58.800
<v Speaker 1>was a report out yesterday that Jack Smith had requested

1713
01:37:58.840 --> 01:38:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a pardon and that either Biden or some of his

1714
01:38:02.199 --> 01:38:07.159
<v Speaker 1>top staff said, no, you failed us. You're on your own.

1715
01:38:08.319 --> 01:38:09.439
<v Speaker 1>That's cold. Man
