Speaker 1 (00:00):
For anybody out there that's just like, oh, em right,
you don't like anything. No, there's a silver lining and
a bright side to everything. But all I want to
say is that I just died. I'm I fell asleep
in between my shows and uh yeah, I had a
hustle in here, and I still feel tired. What about you, Matt?
How you doing? How are you feeling that the first
couple of days of the new time change? Jun you okay,
(00:21):
you're doing right. I'm fine. That's good. I'm glad to
hear that at least one of us is adjusting properly.
Did you do some fun stuff this weekend? I did? Yeah,
it was fun.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I had had a little little birthday party with a
with a good old pal, been buddies for a long time.
That's got to Brad his birthday. I got him a
bird house. Yeah, I gotta say, you.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Got him a bird house.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I got him a bird house. Is that like I
mean I'm old or something? I don't know, It's just
like that seems like.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You're asking you're asking me if buying a guy a
bird house or anything bird related makes you feel like
old or something.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
But I got him, Yeah, I got him a birdhouse.
But we have got question. Some guitar had some good,
good conversations. Answer your questions. No, Matt birds are all
ages appropriate. And anybody that even kind of insinuates that
that's like an old person's gift or they don't like
it or they don't love it, well, I gotta be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Those aren't people for me. Those people can go enjoy
whatever they like to enjoy and leave me the hell alone. Okay,
I'm going to hang out with my blue jays and
my cardinals and my house sparrows and my house finches
hopefully this year, my Baltimore orioles and my starlings and
all those great birds that I get in my bird
feeder every single day. How's that? I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I also would like to let you know that Dennis
Rodman had thirty four rebounds in a game once.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. The worm the
worms people would call him. Yeah, there was pretty big
news in a few different areas. Have you tried to
get on X today A little bit? Not working out?
So well? It's not working out us, Like I was
trying to figure out what was going on, and you know,
I'm getting some of it to load in some of
it not. But according to Elon Musk, who owns X,
(02:05):
he says there was and still is a massive cyber
attack against X. We get attacked every day, but this
was done with a lot of resources, either a large
coordinated group and or a country is involved. Tracing well,
this would be the first time that a social media
platform got hacked or attacked in some way. People's accounts
(02:26):
get hacked and attacked all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Maybe we should shorten that up to just like hack tacked,
you know, so you don't have to say hack attack,
just hack tacked, hacked and attacked, hacked and attacked. But
I feel like it could be one word I'm thinking
about it, attacked.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
How about that attacked? People just think that you speak
with a lot of air in your words.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Sounds like the way Hank Killme said, Yeah, we got attacked,
didn't we, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, this makes you feel weird everything you're
asking me that. Well, I know you're like, you're very
freshly back into social media at least a little bit.
Oh boy, And are we playing like cyber warfare with
certain social media apps or accounts based on political affiliations.
(03:12):
Is that is that what this is being alleged to be. Well,
I tell you this's regardless. I do want to have
a quick PSA here. It's not real life. Don't forget that.
Social media is not real life. It's made up. Yeah,
I feel like people take it very seriously and people
use what they see on social media is kind of
the inward and outward truth. You see people sharing stuff
(03:33):
all the time, and it's just like that did not
come from a reliable source. I know it didn't. But
people they want to believe what they want to believe,
and there's somebody out there on social media that's telling
you the stuff that you want to believe you want
to share on there. But I'm not talking about direct
misinformation per se. I'm talking about not even have access.
You don't even have access to updated information onto social
(03:55):
media app because some hackers or attackers are infiltrating the
logistics of the system, the infrastructure of the system itself,
the servers, and you can't get any information from that
social media app. And we are, like it or not,
moving further and further into a world where you get
(04:17):
your news on social media. You get your information from
social media, accurate, inaccurate, objective, subjective, whatever you want to
call it. We're always getting further and further down that
rabbit hole. So taking away or siphoning off one of
those lines is that could be incredibly damaging to people
(04:38):
who are looking for the news. I mean, imagine if
somebody's post office in nineteen forty seven, like got set
on fire or something. I mean, that messed that town up. Well,
just imagine we're all in the same town and our
post office as X. But you know what, the world
could use a little less of what news. There's too
much of it out there. And you know what else is?
You know, it's a good combination. Peanut butter and you
(05:00):
know what else is a great combination a beautiful late
winter day, not even yet spring, but a beautiful afternoon
high have eighty degrees in sunshine, and Twitter's not working.
Now that's peanut butter and jelly. MM can't I cannot agree.
I can't agree with any of that really now, I don't.
I think we should have the freedom to either stay
(05:24):
on or get off of social media. Today happens to
be a great day to not have social media working.
As you mentioned, incredible day outside. Absolutely fantastic. Go enjoy
it if you have the chance to. But if we're
being honest with each other here, I really like it.
If I am looking for something, or I need some
bit of information, or you know, in the situation of
(05:45):
this particular radio show, trying to find some news or
audio clips, I use X a lot for those that
could wrench my show up quite a bit. It could
wrench my day up quite a bit. Not having a
social media app that is operational for whatever reason. And uh,
I think we should take this kind of thing pretty seriously,
(06:06):
no matter who's happening to now. If you don't want
to go buy a Tesla because you don't like Elon
Musk anymore because he's gotten himself involved in politics, that's
your prerogative. I was never a big Tesla fan myself.
If you're not a big SpaceX fan, you're what's Bezos's
it's it's Bezos's rocket ships. What does he call those?
Does he have a name for him? I thought he
had a name for him. I can look it up.
(06:26):
Whatever those are. If you you prefer America to utilize
that kind of rocket for further exploration of the of
the spatial Frontier. He's got one called the New Glen. Yeah,
but he doesn't even a company, like a company name
Blue Origin. That's the one good job Blue Origin. If
(06:48):
you'd rather have Blue Origin doing all this great stuff
going into space, and you'd rather have Elons SpaceX fail. Okay,
I guess that's another thing, right, But active trying to
knock it down, actively trying to infiltrate it, to make
it not work for political shenanigans. I mean, what are
(07:09):
we doing here, what are we talking about? Just some
wild stuff, that's all I'm saying. If you got thoughts
on this, let's open those phone lines up. X being attacked,
social media being attacked. Elon says, consistently under attack, and
this is a coordinated effort, and it could be coming
from a country, not even just you group of crazy
(07:29):
hackers like we see in the movies like this could
be a country or a consolidated attack on a social
media account. I don't know if we can corroborate any
of that, but it is a fascinating idea that you
could get into the infrastructure of communications for an entire
nation or nations in X's case, and having to worry
(07:53):
about maybe not having proper communication or the most up
to date news at any one time. Does this bother you?
If you'd like to chat with me about it? Four
two five five eight eleven ten four oh two five
five eight eleven ten, Thanks for listening on news radio
eleven ten. Kfabri Sung. One thing that Matt Case was
completely correct about is if there was ever a day
to not have a functional internet or functional social media.
(08:18):
Today is that day? Seventy five degrees right now in Omaha.
And we do have a red flag warning until eight
pm tonight, So be careful with your fires, probably don't
have them, would be my best advice that I could
give to you. Can I complain a little bit more
about daylight savings time? Just real quick if you'd like too, sure,
(08:39):
And it's about I use the term daylight saving time,
but it's not really about that because I like daylight
saving time. It's about the transition of daylight saving time.
Could I suggest that, like, maybe we just do it
on a Friday, incent of a Saturday. Oh, Saturday, Saturday
and a Sunday. Can we do it like Friday and
a Saturday, incent of Saturday into Sunday? Yeah? Not a
bad idea. I could get a because I needed that
(09:01):
extra day. I really do you know what happened to me?
We went out for friends on Saturday. That was a
plane all along, and you know sometimes you get with friends.
I don't know about you and your buddy and the birthday.
How how long you were out? Oh do you want
to know? Yeah? Well I got back at five am?
Five am. Wow, I like that. That's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I couldn't believe it. You want to talk about a
double take. When I saw the time, you know, as
it jumps forward.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It was really four am though, right, So I really
got home at like two am, but it already was
showing three am on Saturday night into Sunday. And I
was like, okay, well I'm not making that you know,
greyhound meetup that I was going to go to on
Sunday morning. There's no way I'm going to fall asleep
and wake back up. But I was hungry. Well what
do you do when you're hungry and you've had some
(09:48):
you know, beverages in you, Matt, You eat? So I
sat up for like another hour eating the guzzling food
just yamyam like popcorn, and just like like yeah, this
is great. I had full plans to wake up at
a decent hour, not on time to go to the
dog bar thing, but to like, you know, decent. I
woke up at noon and noon, except it wasn't noon.
(10:11):
It wasn't It was one in the afternoon. When was
the last time you've waken up at one in the afternoon.
It's been quite a while. I don't even know when
the last time was. Sometimes I just let myself sleep.
This was like, way beyond what I had anticipated, though,
So you know what ended up happening. When do you
think I could fall back asleep realistically? Let me tell you,
(10:31):
not fast enough. I took no caffeine yesterday. My entire
plan was I'm going to try to wear myself out.
We went on a seven mile long walk with our dogs.
It was a great time. Excellent day yesterday. By the way,
as well, if you went out and about yesterday, yesterday
was like, oh, this is great first real like I
can wear shorts outside weather. And then you know what happened.
I still fell asleep in the middle of the night,
(10:53):
woke up, had to do my radio show, woke up
to X being down off and on all morning long,
which really was a thorn in my side when you're
trying to play audio clips for your radio show off
of X and then lo and behold, I accidentally fall
back asleep because I'm sleep depraved and almost was late
to this show sleep depraved. Well that explains a lot. Depraved, deprived.
(11:15):
What's the word I deprived? It's okay, sorry, depraved. Yeah,
depraves is a word, though it is it just means
something different. Depraved. What does that mean? You know? In
this circumstance, let's just go with it. That's what I say, depraved, deprived,
sleep depraved. I like it. I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm gonna I'm gonna start like a like a new
metal band called sleep depraved.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
When did I? When did I ever gonna be like,
We're gonna cover some corn songs? Did? Did? Morally? Corrupt? Oh? Prived?
Deny the possession or use of something? Yeah, that was
what I was looking for. Yeah, Man, the English language
one letter one vow just just off can't remember. I
can't tell you the last time I had to use
(11:56):
either of those words. I definitely forgot what they were.
What they were either way, Yeah, it's not it's not
being going so great for Emory today. So uh yeah,
you want to know what I'm I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna do the best that I can to have a
great radio show and get over it. What about you?
What about you?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
You?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You you feel the same way? Can you help me?
Can you help me out?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Sure? Hey, you know what, carry me in a wheelbarrow
for the next few hours.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Do you have one of those? Like I could. I
don't know how that would really help you do your
radio show, but I could.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
What about? Uh? What about? What was I gonna say
about this? Also, it's just like, uh, you know what
tonight is, we have a we learn what the season
lineup is for next year's I'm all Performing Arts or
FEUM schedule touring shows is gonna come to town. That's fun,
So that's gonna be a good time. But you also
(12:44):
know what we did yesterday and today some yard work
not the real well, wheelbarrow out and started doing yard work.
You know something, Your lawn takes up pounding during the
winter time. My lawn is a mess. Probably didn't help
that have a couple of dogs sprinting on it all
the time when it's you know, wet or whatever. But
the way that it takes on water, it doesn't get sun,
it lacks a lot of nutrients. I'm obviously no expert
(13:05):
in this, but I was just like, as we were
kind of cleaning up, and I was cleaning up whatever
remnants of leaves and sticks and stuff. We're out there
trying to, you know, figure out kind of take inventory
of what we have. Looking like, I got an entire
space where it just looks like a big old mud pit.
It's like that wasn't there before, but now it is.
All the grass is gone, it's just mud.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Let's turn lemons in the lemonade. You could put a
rope around that pit. Have some good old fast and
mud wrestling, all right, Who do I invite to mud rust?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Just have the neighborhood over, put a sign up, whoever
stops by. You gotta put something on the line.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Though, Well, I was gonna say, who's the opponent?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I think you just stand back there, you say, beat
me in mud wrestling?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Rise? Yeah, me do it? Yeah? What makes you think
I could do this? I haven't worked out in a
week because of this respiratory thing, so I already feel
kind of like useless.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, do you want to be top dog in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
No, okay, no, I want to lie low to turn
window broke out two weeks ago. You know what, that's
fair that I did get my surveillance cameras. I did
get them. I was inspecting them. Two cameras for sixty dollars.
That's not bad. No, Like, wow, did they And they're
just on all the time? Yeah, So you have to
recharge them like every few months, so like during a day,
you know, you just like pull them down and recharge
(14:16):
them and think and recharge. They say like seven or
eight hours, We'll give them a full recharge for a
few more months. That's not bad at all, I know.
And it's got an app so you can like check
in on it, you know, all the time. It's just
strategically putting them somewhere. And I got some weird sighting
on the front of my house, and I don't like
messing with stuff that is like permanently going to mess
it up because you kind of like have to like
fix the surveillance camera into the side of the house.
(14:39):
So I don't really know like how to do that
without damaging the siding. So I'm kind of trying to
tell my wife, who is much more to do it
yourself for type than I am. I like the experts
to come and do things so things look nice. Kind
of trying to talk her into, you know, calling an
expert on this sort of thing, seeing if we can
you know, not ruin the siding at the house while
(15:00):
we put these things up. It seems like something we
should probably take seriously. Yeah, although I do want that
camera to get out there sooner rather than later. Not
that I've had anybody else come and, you know, smash
the window of my car, but alas you don't want to,
you know, kind of be sleeping on it in case
that does happen. Right, So, anyway, you want to call us,
you got something on your mind two twenty seven at
the time, call us or Row two five five eight
(15:22):
eleven ten four roh two five five eight eleven ten.
We're here for you, You're here for me. We're just
talking about stuff life general. New Canadian Prime minister. Probably
need to talk about that a little bit today. I
got some talks going on in Saudi Arabia about this
Ukraine and Russia thing. Probably need to talk about that today.
And another very interesting story in Iowa about a deputy
sheriff who was hired and then resigned in just a
(15:43):
few days because of insane public backlash. We will explain
all of that over the next few hours. Have fun
with us on news radio eleven ten kfab I get
stale the to the people that are listening to the show.
What do you think? Like, like, what can people do
to get rid of me?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Can they would they come? Like would they sign some
change dot org stuff? Would they set up a GoFundMe
for a successor for me? Would they put public pressure
on me with disapproval ratings? So I feel like if
I was going to do the public of favor, I'd
have to resign. Like what would be the proper line
of action in our line of work to do so?
Such a thing? Weird question to ask, but I will
(16:22):
answer it regardless. It would take a lot of self awareness,
and I'm aware of that. And I know that we
work in, you know, the private sector technically, so you know,
I'm not a government employee that kind of is beholden
to the people. I'm here mostly for entertainment and information.
But let's just say, for argument's sake, our jobs kind
of work, like the government does. What would what would
(16:43):
be the right plan of action, the right plan of action,
there's no term limits. I'm just here until a leave
or you kick me out. Uh oh boy, I don't
know what the right to use the word right, right
plan of action? Right? So so the people want you out?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, And what's the right way to do that if
there's no term limits?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Right? My ideology is pretty safe in power. And as
long as my ideology or my party or my platforms
are in power, well, I'm the leader. So what are
you gonna do about it?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't know what do you do about it? In
that case if there's no elections and you're the leader
until you say you're.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Not, Well, we're we're we're doing elections against the other party,
but we don't really do elections like that. We just
kind of, you know, my party just thinks I've been
doing it for so long, like why would they get
rid of me? But now there are people that dislike me?
Would you just revolt against me? Would you?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What else do you do in that circumstance? I guess
that's why That's what I mean, right, right? In what
are we going to go around the country and have
people voice their concerns?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Well, you know, it's the interesting thing. They just would
have a revolution in centuries past because there really wasn't
a good diplomatic way to do it. I mean, when
you overthrew a leader, you were overthrowing the entire government usually,
or that was the attempt. Anyway. I was just watching
videos about the Cold War just kind of like get
up on that knowledge. How much do you know about
(18:10):
the Cold War? I would say like a fair amount.
What happened in the Cold War post World War Two
is so crazy. You want to talk about people just
thinking the end of the world was coming at any
point for basically forty years. For essentially forty years, different
things popped up, like the Korean War, the Vietnam War,
the Cuban Missile Crisis, East Germany, West Germany, all of
(18:32):
the Eastern Bloc of European countries, all these proxy wars
in Third World countries in Africa. All of that stuff
came out of the United States and the USSR essentially
hating each other. And as I was watching that, I
was going through that, I was just like, dang, dude,
we act like it's so crazy now we are not
(18:55):
even close to that now. I mean, they literally there
were wars being way aged in proxy around the world
instead of the two sides that actually probably were needing
to fight, which was the US and the USSR. Now
Canada just does whatever at once and apparently, and I
obviously have absolutely no idea how Canada's system works, because
(19:19):
every time I read about it, the more I get confused.
Justin Trudeau said he was stepping down. He's been in
power for over nine years, so he said he wanted
to step down. He has low approval ratings. Things aren't
going so well. But remember what we said last week.
Donald Trump himself even suggested maybe there is a like
(19:40):
kind of a chance, like an offshoot chance that he
is using this tariff war or whatever you want to
call it between Canada and the US as a way
to conjure up Canadian patriotism and keep himself into power,
kind of have something that people are like, Actually he
is one of us. I actually like him. I want
him to stay. Well, all of that stuff went by
(20:03):
the wayside because they officially have elected a new prime
minister in Canada and Trudeau resigned over the weekend. Fifty
nine year old Mark Carney good name or bad name,
Mark Carney.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's not very fun to say, I mean, Jarney, you
kind of have to pause between Markcarney McCartney.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I don't know Mark Carney. Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah,
so many jokes he can make. Ah, it looks like
the Carneys are finally running Canada, them in their rough
shod rides, trying to you know, give kids you can't
afford to go to real amusement parks some fun rides.
Does he have both of his arms? He does? Okay, Well, yeah,
that's bucking the trend. Good for him. He looks he
(20:44):
looks like a normal guy. He won the race eighty
six percent of the vote, overwhelmingly. About one hundred and
fifty two thousand people in the party made a vote.
Eighty six percent has mentioned voted for Mark Carney. And yeah,
he's gonna take over to the Liberal Party, very straightforward.
They have the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, and
(21:05):
the Liberal Party's got a pretty good hold on Canada
for the time being. And yeah, they had this. You know,
this was an election, but it wasn't previously scheduled. Parliament.
Canadian Parliament doesn't come back into the sphere of things
until later this month, two weeks from today, by the way,
is when the Parliament comes back, and then they have
(21:27):
to come up with like they talking about, like doing
some sort of snap election. I guess either at the
end of April or early in May. This country is crazy.
Like if we think they do things like we do,
they do not. Their structure is somewhat similar, even though
they have different names for some of the different positions,
but it is not the same. They do not operate
(21:50):
at all the same. Well, Mark Kearney had some things
to say, and here's one clip where I mean somehow
our contrary. This happens to be in the mouths of
all these people around the world, and that includes Mark Carney,
who has something to say about what Donald Trump did.
And keep in mind, this is him speaking after he
(22:10):
has been overwhelmingly elected to be the new Liberal Party
leader and the successor to being the Prime Minister of Canada.
And he is in a room full of other Liberal
Party leaders, a lot of Liberal Party people. These are
his people. He is speaking to this room. That's why
you're gonna hear plenty of applause. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
America is not Canada, and Canada never ever will be
part of America. In any way, shape or form. We
(22:56):
didn't ask for this fight. We didn't ask for this fight.
But Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
So the Americans they should make no mistake in trade,
as in hockey, Canada will win.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
So that's pretty strong words there from a guy who
comes from the banking sector kind of worked his way
into politics. But you know, whatever, Canada is not America.
Canada will never be a part of America. What is
that supposed to mean? Maybe he should have said the
United States, because last I checked, the America has included
everything from Canada all the way down to Chile. Eh,
(23:36):
what's he talking about? Yeah? And a hockey fight. I mean,
Canada is lost in hockey before we exactly were you
talking about? A Canadian team hasn't seen the Stanley Cup
in thirty something years. Oh and and didn't the United
States just beat Canada and one of the two games
they played in this four nations face off last month?
(23:57):
What is this guy talking about? I get some point
you gotta like start spewing some facts. He can't just
be like saying stuff just to you know, say stuff. There,
Mark Karney, Carney, Carney, Carney, Well, it would you think
he's gonna he's gonna be drinking any of that bourbon
that they took off the shelves that they already bought.
I don't know, probably not now. Again, this is an
(24:19):
outsider type guy, so that's kind of the thing that
a lot of governments are doing. Now. It's like, Oh,
this guy doesn't have a lot of political ties. Let's
go ahead and thrust him into the limelight because he's
not gonna be beholding to anybody.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Did he did he come from TV? Got another TV guy?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
No, he's just a bank guy. Oh he's he's round
the banking world. Yeah, he's a bank guy. So he's
gonna fix their money problems. Huh Yeah, I'll have Chad
Gpt tell me exactly what the heck's going on. But
he says this tear far. We didn't start this war,
but we'll take the gloves off. What is he talking about?
Maybe we'll talk about next year on news radio eleven
to ten KFABA and he's songer. He got an email
about the luckiest baby names boys and girls. Because you know,
(24:56):
sometimes you just get emails from these places that are
pitching interviews or or talks to people who have written
books or does do these research. I'm going to get
to that at some point, and I'll have you guess
some of the luckiest baby names for twenty twenty five. Okay,
first of all, though, I asked Chad Gbt, my good friend,
who can help explain things? I said, can you explain
who Mark Carney is so Americans can understand? And here's
(25:19):
what it said. Are you ready? This is pretty good?
All right? Imagine if the Federal Reserve Chair, the Secretary
of the Treasury, and a really well dressed Canadian lumberjack
all were merged into one guy. That's Mark Carney, right,
So the visual there. Okay, He's a Canadian born economist
who basically became the Lebron James of central banking. First,
he ran Canada's Central Bank and kept the country's economy
(25:41):
chill during the two thousand and eight financial crisis. Why
is it writing it like this? I said, explain who
Mark Carney is in a way Americans can understand. Oh.
So then the UK was like, hey, our economy is
a bit of a mess. Want to fix it? So
he became the first on British governor of the Bank
(26:01):
of England, where he steered them through Brexit turbulence like
a financial Gandolf. Now he's big in climate finance, advising
government's companies on how to make money without destroying the planet.
So in American terms, imagine if Jerome Powell, al Gore
and Ryan Reynolds teamed up to save the economy, that's
(26:22):
Mark Carney. So there you go, Jerome Powell, al Gore
and Ryan Reynolds all wrapped up in one. Pretty sure.
Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian, But I'll let it pass you.
Uh yeah, what do you think? But do you think
you're buying into the Mark Carney experiment here? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I just met the guy who I haven't even met him.
I just heard him talk for forty five seconds. So
I suppose all with whole judgment, Yeah, I guess that's true.
I think there's a lot of tough talking right now.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You kind of have to if you're on the Canadian side,
don't you You have you want to act like you're
the big dog.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Well yeah, but you're not just gonna lay down when
some guy in a country right next to you says, oh,
by the way, we're gonna take you and put you
upon as a country. It's just like you and what
army dude we talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I mean that's like if you're sitting okay, if you're sitting.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
At your table with your family and some guy next
table is just like I could beat that guy up.
Want me to beat that guy up? You're just gonna
stand there like you probably will be like, what are
you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Buddy?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
We will?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Why are you telling me you're gonna beat me up
in front of my family? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I think the more accurate representations like I just take
your whole table, Like I can just make your table
part of my table.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, I just like, I'm gonna take your table. You
guys can go eat outside. Yeah, Like okay, buddy, who's
gonna make you? Are you gonna make me? And that's
where we are here.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Although now Donald Trump's talking more about Greenland and telling
the Greenlanders that, you know, they should just vote for
the who they want to belong to, whether it's Denmark
or US or I guess Canada as well. I don't know.
This whole thing is messed up, man. We're trying to
stay out of stuff in the Eastern world, right we
want to we want to stay away from having to
help the European country when they aren't really helping us out.
(28:02):
We're trying to stay away from this whole Ukraine thing
because we feel like we've given too much to them,
and yet at the same time, we're like running into Panama.
I was like, hey, you better give us this canal,
and we're going to Greenland and saying, hey, do you
want to be a part of the United States, We'll
take you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
What happens if none of that works out, I wonder
if you'll try to like take over the moon next,
you know, I'll be like, you know what, it was.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
The moon the whole time. This is all just a misdirection. Hey,
we do have a space force. No, Hey, you know,
I get what he's trying to do. I understand the
ploy of all of it. I just feel like sometimes
this hardball thing gets us put into kind of like
a movie style rhetoric where it's just kind of like
people are playing politics more than they're actually performing politics.
(28:45):
We're not actually moving forward or making things better. We're
just kind of war of words and kind of having
fun talking trash to each other. And I just I
just wonder what the endgame is for both sides on this,
because I think I think both sides are going to
hurt a little bit from it can handed us specially,
So what do they end up doing?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I don't know. Mark Karney has got to figure that out,
I suppose. Now, all right, more on the way, come
and stick with US News Radio eleven t in kfa
B
For anybody out there that's just like, oh, em right,
you don't like anything. No, there's a silver lining and
a bright side to everything. But all I want to
say is that I just died. I'm I fell asleep
in between my shows and uh yeah, I had a
hustle in here, and I still feel tired. What about you, Matt?
How you doing? How are you feeling that the first
couple of days of the new time change? Jun you okay,
(00:21):
you're doing right. I'm fine. That's good. I'm glad to
hear that at least one of us is adjusting properly.
Did you do some fun stuff this weekend? I did? Yeah,
it was fun.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I had had a little little birthday party with a
with a good old pal, been buddies for a long time.
That's got to Brad his birthday. I got him a
bird house. Yeah, I gotta say, you.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Got him a bird house.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I got him a bird house. Is that like I
mean I'm old or something? I don't know, It's just
like that seems like.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You're asking you're asking me if buying a guy a
bird house or anything bird related makes you feel like
old or something.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
But I got him, Yeah, I got him a birdhouse.
But we have got question. Some guitar had some good,
good conversations. Answer your questions. No, Matt birds are all
ages appropriate. And anybody that even kind of insinuates that
that's like an old person's gift or they don't like
it or they don't love it, well, I gotta be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Those aren't people for me. Those people can go enjoy
whatever they like to enjoy and leave me the hell alone. Okay,
I'm going to hang out with my blue jays and
my cardinals and my house sparrows and my house finches
hopefully this year, my Baltimore orioles and my starlings and
all those great birds that I get in my bird
feeder every single day. How's that? I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I also would like to let you know that Dennis
Rodman had thirty four rebounds in a game once.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. The worm the
worms people would call him. Yeah, there was pretty big
news in a few different areas. Have you tried to
get on X today A little bit? Not working out?
So well? It's not working out us, Like I was
trying to figure out what was going on, and you know,
I'm getting some of it to load in some of
it not. But according to Elon Musk, who owns X,
(02:05):
he says there was and still is a massive cyber
attack against X. We get attacked every day, but this
was done with a lot of resources, either a large
coordinated group and or a country is involved. Tracing well,
this would be the first time that a social media
platform got hacked or attacked in some way. People's accounts
(02:26):
get hacked and attacked all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Maybe we should shorten that up to just like hack tacked,
you know, so you don't have to say hack attack,
just hack tacked, hacked and attacked, hacked and attacked. But
I feel like it could be one word I'm thinking
about it, attacked.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
How about that attacked? People just think that you speak
with a lot of air in your words.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Sounds like the way Hank Killme said, Yeah, we got attacked,
didn't we, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, this makes you feel weird everything you're
asking me that. Well, I know you're like, you're very
freshly back into social media at least a little bit.
Oh boy, And are we playing like cyber warfare with
certain social media apps or accounts based on political affiliations.
(03:12):
Is that is that what this is being alleged to be. Well,
I tell you this's regardless. I do want to have
a quick PSA here. It's not real life. Don't forget that.
Social media is not real life. It's made up. Yeah,
I feel like people take it very seriously and people
use what they see on social media is kind of
the inward and outward truth. You see people sharing stuff
(03:33):
all the time, and it's just like that did not
come from a reliable source. I know it didn't. But
people they want to believe what they want to believe,
and there's somebody out there on social media that's telling
you the stuff that you want to believe you want
to share on there. But I'm not talking about direct
misinformation per se. I'm talking about not even have access.
You don't even have access to updated information onto social
(03:55):
media app because some hackers or attackers are infiltrating the
logistics of the system, the infrastructure of the system itself,
the servers, and you can't get any information from that
social media app. And we are, like it or not,
moving further and further into a world where you get
(04:17):
your news on social media. You get your information from
social media, accurate, inaccurate, objective, subjective, whatever you want to
call it. We're always getting further and further down that
rabbit hole. So taking away or siphoning off one of
those lines is that could be incredibly damaging to people
(04:38):
who are looking for the news. I mean, imagine if
somebody's post office in nineteen forty seven, like got set
on fire or something. I mean, that messed that town up. Well,
just imagine we're all in the same town and our
post office as X. But you know what, the world
could use a little less of what news. There's too
much of it out there. And you know what else is?
You know, it's a good combination. Peanut butter and you
(05:00):
know what else is a great combination a beautiful late
winter day, not even yet spring, but a beautiful afternoon
high have eighty degrees in sunshine, and Twitter's not working.
Now that's peanut butter and jelly. MM can't I cannot agree.
I can't agree with any of that really now, I don't.
I think we should have the freedom to either stay
(05:24):
on or get off of social media. Today happens to
be a great day to not have social media working.
As you mentioned, incredible day outside. Absolutely fantastic. Go enjoy
it if you have the chance to. But if we're
being honest with each other here, I really like it.
If I am looking for something, or I need some
bit of information, or you know, in the situation of
(05:45):
this particular radio show, trying to find some news or
audio clips, I use X a lot for those that
could wrench my show up quite a bit. It could
wrench my day up quite a bit. Not having a
social media app that is operational for whatever reason. And uh,
I think we should take this kind of thing pretty seriously,
(06:06):
no matter who's happening to now. If you don't want
to go buy a Tesla because you don't like Elon
Musk anymore because he's gotten himself involved in politics, that's
your prerogative. I was never a big Tesla fan myself.
If you're not a big SpaceX fan, you're what's Bezos's
it's it's Bezos's rocket ships. What does he call those?
Does he have a name for him? I thought he
had a name for him. I can look it up.
(06:26):
Whatever those are. If you you prefer America to utilize
that kind of rocket for further exploration of the of
the spatial Frontier. He's got one called the New Glen. Yeah,
but he doesn't even a company, like a company name
Blue Origin. That's the one good job Blue Origin. If
(06:48):
you'd rather have Blue Origin doing all this great stuff
going into space, and you'd rather have Elons SpaceX fail. Okay,
I guess that's another thing, right, But active trying to
knock it down, actively trying to infiltrate it, to make
it not work for political shenanigans. I mean, what are
(07:09):
we doing here, what are we talking about? Just some
wild stuff, that's all I'm saying. If you got thoughts
on this, let's open those phone lines up. X being attacked,
social media being attacked. Elon says, consistently under attack, and
this is a coordinated effort, and it could be coming
from a country, not even just you group of crazy
(07:29):
hackers like we see in the movies like this could
be a country or a consolidated attack on a social
media account. I don't know if we can corroborate any
of that, but it is a fascinating idea that you
could get into the infrastructure of communications for an entire
nation or nations in X's case, and having to worry
(07:53):
about maybe not having proper communication or the most up
to date news at any one time. Does this bother you?
If you'd like to chat with me about it? Four
two five five eight eleven ten four oh two five
five eight eleven ten, Thanks for listening on news radio
eleven ten. Kfabri Sung. One thing that Matt Case was
completely correct about is if there was ever a day
to not have a functional internet or functional social media.
(08:18):
Today is that day? Seventy five degrees right now in Omaha.
And we do have a red flag warning until eight
pm tonight, So be careful with your fires, probably don't
have them, would be my best advice that I could
give to you. Can I complain a little bit more
about daylight savings time? Just real quick if you'd like too, sure,
(08:39):
And it's about I use the term daylight saving time,
but it's not really about that because I like daylight
saving time. It's about the transition of daylight saving time.
Could I suggest that, like, maybe we just do it
on a Friday, incent of a Saturday. Oh, Saturday, Saturday
and a Sunday. Can we do it like Friday and
a Saturday, incent of Saturday into Sunday? Yeah? Not a
bad idea. I could get a because I needed that
(09:01):
extra day. I really do you know what happened to me?
We went out for friends on Saturday. That was a
plane all along, and you know sometimes you get with friends.
I don't know about you and your buddy and the birthday.
How how long you were out? Oh do you want
to know? Yeah? Well I got back at five am?
Five am. Wow, I like that. That's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I couldn't believe it. You want to talk about a
double take. When I saw the time, you know, as
it jumps forward.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It was really four am though, right, So I really
got home at like two am, but it already was
showing three am on Saturday night into Sunday. And I
was like, okay, well I'm not making that you know,
greyhound meetup that I was going to go to on
Sunday morning. There's no way I'm going to fall asleep
and wake back up. But I was hungry. Well what
do you do when you're hungry and you've had some
(09:48):
you know, beverages in you, Matt, You eat? So I
sat up for like another hour eating the guzzling food
just yamyam like popcorn, and just like like yeah, this
is great. I had full plans to wake up at
a decent hour, not on time to go to the
dog bar thing, but to like, you know, decent. I
woke up at noon and noon, except it wasn't noon.
(10:11):
It wasn't It was one in the afternoon. When was
the last time you've waken up at one in the afternoon.
It's been quite a while. I don't even know when
the last time was. Sometimes I just let myself sleep.
This was like, way beyond what I had anticipated, though,
So you know what ended up happening. When do you
think I could fall back asleep realistically? Let me tell you,
(10:31):
not fast enough. I took no caffeine yesterday. My entire
plan was I'm going to try to wear myself out.
We went on a seven mile long walk with our dogs.
It was a great time. Excellent day yesterday. By the way,
as well, if you went out and about yesterday, yesterday
was like, oh, this is great first real like I
can wear shorts outside weather. And then you know what happened.
I still fell asleep in the middle of the night,
(10:53):
woke up, had to do my radio show, woke up
to X being down off and on all morning long,
which really was a thorn in my side when you're
trying to play audio clips for your radio show off
of X and then lo and behold, I accidentally fall
back asleep because I'm sleep depraved and almost was late
to this show sleep depraved. Well that explains a lot. Depraved, deprived.
(11:15):
What's the word I deprived? It's okay, sorry, depraved. Yeah,
depraves is a word, though it is it just means
something different. Depraved. What does that mean? You know? In
this circumstance, let's just go with it. That's what I say, depraved, deprived,
sleep depraved. I like it. I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm gonna I'm gonna start like a like a new
metal band called sleep depraved.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
When did I? When did I ever gonna be like,
We're gonna cover some corn songs? Did? Did? Morally? Corrupt? Oh? Prived?
Deny the possession or use of something? Yeah, that was
what I was looking for. Yeah, Man, the English language
one letter one vow just just off can't remember. I
can't tell you the last time I had to use
(11:56):
either of those words. I definitely forgot what they were.
What they were either way, Yeah, it's not it's not
being going so great for Emory today. So uh yeah,
you want to know what I'm I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna do the best that I can to have a
great radio show and get over it. What about you?
What about you?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
You?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You you feel the same way? Can you help me?
Can you help me out?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Sure? Hey, you know what, carry me in a wheelbarrow
for the next few hours.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Do you have one of those? Like I could. I
don't know how that would really help you do your
radio show, but I could.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
What about? Uh? What about? What was I gonna say
about this? Also, it's just like, uh, you know what
tonight is, we have a we learn what the season
lineup is for next year's I'm all Performing Arts or
FEUM schedule touring shows is gonna come to town. That's fun,
So that's gonna be a good time. But you also
(12:44):
know what we did yesterday and today some yard work
not the real well, wheelbarrow out and started doing yard work.
You know something, Your lawn takes up pounding during the
winter time. My lawn is a mess. Probably didn't help
that have a couple of dogs sprinting on it all
the time when it's you know, wet or whatever. But
the way that it takes on water, it doesn't get sun,
it lacks a lot of nutrients. I'm obviously no expert
(13:05):
in this, but I was just like, as we were
kind of cleaning up, and I was cleaning up whatever
remnants of leaves and sticks and stuff. We're out there
trying to, you know, figure out kind of take inventory
of what we have. Looking like, I got an entire
space where it just looks like a big old mud pit.
It's like that wasn't there before, but now it is.
All the grass is gone, it's just mud.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Let's turn lemons in the lemonade. You could put a
rope around that pit. Have some good old fast and
mud wrestling, all right, Who do I invite to mud rust?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Just have the neighborhood over, put a sign up, whoever
stops by. You gotta put something on the line.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Though, Well, I was gonna say, who's the opponent?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I think you just stand back there, you say, beat
me in mud wrestling?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Rise? Yeah, me do it? Yeah? What makes you think
I could do this? I haven't worked out in a
week because of this respiratory thing, so I already feel
kind of like useless.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, do you want to be top dog in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
No, okay, no, I want to lie low to turn
window broke out two weeks ago. You know what, that's
fair that I did get my surveillance cameras. I did
get them. I was inspecting them. Two cameras for sixty dollars.
That's not bad. No, Like, wow, did they And they're
just on all the time? Yeah, So you have to
recharge them like every few months, so like during a day,
you know, you just like pull them down and recharge
(14:16):
them and think and recharge. They say like seven or
eight hours, We'll give them a full recharge for a
few more months. That's not bad at all, I know.
And it's got an app so you can like check
in on it, you know, all the time. It's just
strategically putting them somewhere. And I got some weird sighting
on the front of my house, and I don't like
messing with stuff that is like permanently going to mess
it up because you kind of like have to like
fix the surveillance camera into the side of the house.
(14:39):
So I don't really know like how to do that
without damaging the siding. So I'm kind of trying to
tell my wife, who is much more to do it
yourself for type than I am. I like the experts
to come and do things so things look nice. Kind
of trying to talk her into, you know, calling an
expert on this sort of thing, seeing if we can
you know, not ruin the siding at the house while
(15:00):
we put these things up. It seems like something we
should probably take seriously. Yeah, although I do want that
camera to get out there sooner rather than later. Not
that I've had anybody else come and, you know, smash
the window of my car, but alas you don't want to,
you know, kind of be sleeping on it in case
that does happen. Right, So, anyway, you want to call us,
you got something on your mind two twenty seven at
the time, call us or Row two five five eight
(15:22):
eleven ten four roh two five five eight eleven ten.
We're here for you, You're here for me. We're just
talking about stuff life general. New Canadian Prime minister. Probably
need to talk about that a little bit today. I
got some talks going on in Saudi Arabia about this
Ukraine and Russia thing. Probably need to talk about that today.
And another very interesting story in Iowa about a deputy
sheriff who was hired and then resigned in just a
(15:43):
few days because of insane public backlash. We will explain
all of that over the next few hours. Have fun
with us on news radio eleven ten kfab I get
stale the to the people that are listening to the show.
What do you think? Like, like, what can people do
to get rid of me?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Can they would they come? Like would they sign some
change dot org stuff? Would they set up a GoFundMe
for a successor for me? Would they put public pressure
on me with disapproval ratings? So I feel like if
I was going to do the public of favor, I'd
have to resign. Like what would be the proper line
of action in our line of work to do so?
Such a thing? Weird question to ask, but I will
(16:22):
answer it regardless. It would take a lot of self awareness,
and I'm aware of that. And I know that we
work in, you know, the private sector technically, so you know,
I'm not a government employee that kind of is beholden
to the people. I'm here mostly for entertainment and information.
But let's just say, for argument's sake, our jobs kind
of work, like the government does. What would what would
(16:43):
be the right plan of action, the right plan of action,
there's no term limits. I'm just here until a leave
or you kick me out. Uh oh boy, I don't
know what the right to use the word right, right
plan of action? Right? So so the people want you out?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, And what's the right way to do that if
there's no term limits?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Right? My ideology is pretty safe in power. And as
long as my ideology or my party or my platforms
are in power, well, I'm the leader. So what are
you gonna do about it?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't know what do you do about it? In
that case if there's no elections and you're the leader
until you say you're.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Not, Well, we're we're we're doing elections against the other party,
but we don't really do elections like that. We just
kind of, you know, my party just thinks I've been
doing it for so long, like why would they get
rid of me? But now there are people that dislike me?
Would you just revolt against me? Would you?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What else do you do in that circumstance? I guess
that's why That's what I mean, right, right? In what
are we going to go around the country and have
people voice their concerns?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Well, you know, it's the interesting thing. They just would
have a revolution in centuries past because there really wasn't
a good diplomatic way to do it. I mean, when
you overthrew a leader, you were overthrowing the entire government usually,
or that was the attempt. Anyway. I was just watching
videos about the Cold War just kind of like get
up on that knowledge. How much do you know about
(18:10):
the Cold War? I would say like a fair amount.
What happened in the Cold War post World War Two
is so crazy. You want to talk about people just
thinking the end of the world was coming at any
point for basically forty years. For essentially forty years, different
things popped up, like the Korean War, the Vietnam War,
the Cuban Missile Crisis, East Germany, West Germany, all of
(18:32):
the Eastern Bloc of European countries, all these proxy wars
in Third World countries in Africa. All of that stuff
came out of the United States and the USSR essentially
hating each other. And as I was watching that, I
was going through that, I was just like, dang, dude,
we act like it's so crazy now we are not
(18:55):
even close to that now. I mean, they literally there
were wars being way aged in proxy around the world
instead of the two sides that actually probably were needing
to fight, which was the US and the USSR. Now
Canada just does whatever at once and apparently, and I
obviously have absolutely no idea how Canada's system works, because
(19:19):
every time I read about it, the more I get confused.
Justin Trudeau said he was stepping down. He's been in
power for over nine years, so he said he wanted
to step down. He has low approval ratings. Things aren't
going so well. But remember what we said last week.
Donald Trump himself even suggested maybe there is a like
(19:40):
kind of a chance, like an offshoot chance that he
is using this tariff war or whatever you want to
call it between Canada and the US as a way
to conjure up Canadian patriotism and keep himself into power,
kind of have something that people are like, Actually he
is one of us. I actually like him. I want
him to stay. Well, all of that stuff went by
(20:03):
the wayside because they officially have elected a new prime
minister in Canada and Trudeau resigned over the weekend. Fifty
nine year old Mark Carney good name or bad name,
Mark Carney.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's not very fun to say, I mean, Jarney, you
kind of have to pause between Markcarney McCartney.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I don't know Mark Carney. Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah,
so many jokes he can make. Ah, it looks like
the Carneys are finally running Canada, them in their rough
shod rides, trying to you know, give kids you can't
afford to go to real amusement parks some fun rides.
Does he have both of his arms? He does? Okay, Well, yeah,
that's bucking the trend. Good for him. He looks he
(20:44):
looks like a normal guy. He won the race eighty
six percent of the vote, overwhelmingly. About one hundred and
fifty two thousand people in the party made a vote.
Eighty six percent has mentioned voted for Mark Carney. And yeah,
he's gonna take over to the Liberal Party, very straightforward.
They have the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, and
(21:05):
the Liberal Party's got a pretty good hold on Canada
for the time being. And yeah, they had this. You know,
this was an election, but it wasn't previously scheduled. Parliament.
Canadian Parliament doesn't come back into the sphere of things
until later this month, two weeks from today, by the way,
is when the Parliament comes back, and then they have
(21:27):
to come up with like they talking about, like doing
some sort of snap election. I guess either at the
end of April or early in May. This country is crazy.
Like if we think they do things like we do,
they do not. Their structure is somewhat similar, even though
they have different names for some of the different positions,
but it is not the same. They do not operate
(21:50):
at all the same. Well, Mark Kearney had some things
to say, and here's one clip where I mean somehow
our contrary. This happens to be in the mouths of
all these people around the world, and that includes Mark Carney,
who has something to say about what Donald Trump did.
And keep in mind, this is him speaking after he
(22:10):
has been overwhelmingly elected to be the new Liberal Party
leader and the successor to being the Prime Minister of Canada.
And he is in a room full of other Liberal
Party leaders, a lot of Liberal Party people. These are
his people. He is speaking to this room. That's why
you're gonna hear plenty of applause. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
America is not Canada, and Canada never ever will be
part of America. In any way, shape or form. We
(22:56):
didn't ask for this fight. We didn't ask for this fight.
But Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
So the Americans they should make no mistake in trade,
as in hockey, Canada will win.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
So that's pretty strong words there from a guy who
comes from the banking sector kind of worked his way
into politics. But you know, whatever, Canada is not America.
Canada will never be a part of America. What is
that supposed to mean? Maybe he should have said the
United States, because last I checked, the America has included
everything from Canada all the way down to Chile. Eh,
(23:36):
what's he talking about? Yeah? And a hockey fight. I mean,
Canada is lost in hockey before we exactly were you
talking about? A Canadian team hasn't seen the Stanley Cup
in thirty something years. Oh and and didn't the United
States just beat Canada and one of the two games
they played in this four nations face off last month?
(23:57):
What is this guy talking about? I get some point
you gotta like start spewing some facts. He can't just
be like saying stuff just to you know, say stuff. There,
Mark Karney, Carney, Carney, Carney, Well, it would you think
he's gonna he's gonna be drinking any of that bourbon
that they took off the shelves that they already bought.
I don't know, probably not now. Again, this is an
(24:19):
outsider type guy, so that's kind of the thing that
a lot of governments are doing. Now. It's like, Oh,
this guy doesn't have a lot of political ties. Let's
go ahead and thrust him into the limelight because he's
not gonna be beholding to anybody.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Did he did he come from TV? Got another TV guy?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
No, he's just a bank guy. Oh he's he's round
the banking world. Yeah, he's a bank guy. So he's
gonna fix their money problems. Huh Yeah, I'll have Chad
Gpt tell me exactly what the heck's going on. But
he says this tear far. We didn't start this war,
but we'll take the gloves off. What is he talking about?
Maybe we'll talk about next year on news radio eleven
to ten KFABA and he's songer. He got an email
about the luckiest baby names boys and girls. Because you know,
(24:56):
sometimes you just get emails from these places that are
pitching interviews or or talks to people who have written
books or does do these research. I'm going to get
to that at some point, and I'll have you guess
some of the luckiest baby names for twenty twenty five. Okay,
first of all, though, I asked Chad Gbt, my good friend,
who can help explain things? I said, can you explain
who Mark Carney is so Americans can understand? And here's
(25:19):
what it said. Are you ready? This is pretty good?
All right? Imagine if the Federal Reserve Chair, the Secretary
of the Treasury, and a really well dressed Canadian lumberjack
all were merged into one guy. That's Mark Carney, right,
So the visual there. Okay, He's a Canadian born economist
who basically became the Lebron James of central banking. First,
he ran Canada's Central Bank and kept the country's economy
(25:41):
chill during the two thousand and eight financial crisis. Why
is it writing it like this? I said, explain who
Mark Carney is in a way Americans can understand. Oh.
So then the UK was like, hey, our economy is
a bit of a mess. Want to fix it? So
he became the first on British governor of the Bank
(26:01):
of England, where he steered them through Brexit turbulence like
a financial Gandolf. Now he's big in climate finance, advising
government's companies on how to make money without destroying the planet.
So in American terms, imagine if Jerome Powell, al Gore
and Ryan Reynolds teamed up to save the economy, that's
(26:22):
Mark Carney. So there you go, Jerome Powell, al Gore
and Ryan Reynolds all wrapped up in one. Pretty sure.
Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian, But I'll let it pass you.
Uh yeah, what do you think? But do you think
you're buying into the Mark Carney experiment here? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I just met the guy who I haven't even met him.
I just heard him talk for forty five seconds. So
I suppose all with whole judgment, Yeah, I guess that's true.
I think there's a lot of tough talking right now.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You kind of have to if you're on the Canadian side,
don't you You have you want to act like you're
the big dog.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Well yeah, but you're not just gonna lay down when
some guy in a country right next to you says, oh,
by the way, we're gonna take you and put you
upon as a country. It's just like you and what
army dude we talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I mean that's like if you're sitting okay, if you're sitting.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
At your table with your family and some guy next
table is just like I could beat that guy up.
Want me to beat that guy up? You're just gonna
stand there like you probably will be like, what are
you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Buddy?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
We will?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Why are you telling me you're gonna beat me up
in front of my family? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I think the more accurate representations like I just take
your whole table, Like I can just make your table
part of my table.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, I just like, I'm gonna take your table. You
guys can go eat outside. Yeah, Like okay, buddy, who's
gonna make you? Are you gonna make me? And that's
where we are here.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Although now Donald Trump's talking more about Greenland and telling
the Greenlanders that, you know, they should just vote for
the who they want to belong to, whether it's Denmark
or US or I guess Canada as well. I don't know.
This whole thing is messed up, man. We're trying to
stay out of stuff in the Eastern world, right we
want to we want to stay away from having to
help the European country when they aren't really helping us out.
(28:02):
We're trying to stay away from this whole Ukraine thing
because we feel like we've given too much to them,
and yet at the same time, we're like running into Panama.
I was like, hey, you better give us this canal,
and we're going to Greenland and saying, hey, do you
want to be a part of the United States, We'll
take you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
What happens if none of that works out, I wonder
if you'll try to like take over the moon next,
you know, I'll be like, you know what, it was.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
The moon the whole time. This is all just a misdirection. Hey,
we do have a space force. No, Hey, you know,
I get what he's trying to do. I understand the
ploy of all of it. I just feel like sometimes
this hardball thing gets us put into kind of like
a movie style rhetoric where it's just kind of like
people are playing politics more than they're actually performing politics.
(28:45):
We're not actually moving forward or making things better. We're
just kind of war of words and kind of having
fun talking trash to each other. And I just I
just wonder what the endgame is for both sides on this,
because I think I think both sides are going to
hurt a little bit from it can handed us specially,
So what do they end up doing?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I don't know. Mark Karney has got to figure that out,
I suppose. Now, all right, more on the way, come
and stick with US News Radio eleven t in kfa
