The Bloomdaddy Experience with Otis & Sam January 29, 2025

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
D number one Tuch show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news radio eleven seventy. WWVA starts now the.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news radio
eleven seventy. Chinese artificial intelligence company called deep Sea grabbing
attention all over the United States set a shockwave through
Wall Street due to its new tech, which the experts
are saying rivals that of open AI's chat gpt.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
The latest app from deep Seek comes days after Trump
announced a new five hundred billion dollar venture with chat
GPT maker open Ai, SoftBank, and Oracle dub Stargate, which
he's touting as ensuring the future of technology in the US.
I want to bring on John Schultz, technology expert.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
John.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
The US won the space race, but only after the
Soviet Union launch Spotnick in nineteen fifty seven.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Is this kind of the new space race? If you will?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Is this exactly what we need when it comes to ai?
A little push by the Chinese.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
You know, I have to agree with you on that
subject there, you know, the US has always dominated innovation
and technology over the years, and I think over the
last five to six years, we've been a little bit
complacent about better innovation and what we're trying to accomplish
these days. So I agree, I think, you know, this
may be a little bit of a wake up call.

(01:36):
I call it an AHA moment. I don't think it's
as significant as some people are making it out to be,
you know, because technology, the way I look at technology,
there there's basically four things that happen with technology. Everybody's
looking to get bigger, better, faster, and cheaper. And I
think this is just another remarkable change in technology that

(01:57):
somebody has come up with a unique way of sly
coming up with something that is perceived cheaper. You know,
this being an open environment that they're proposing, you know,
it's gonna be quite interesting to see, you know, whether
or not large companies start to adopt this, because what
would happen is you don't want to expose your company
secrets or your company IP to an open source environment.

(02:18):
So it's gonna be quite interesting to see, you know,
how corporations respond to this in general.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
All right, to your point, John deep Seak, really took
the market by storm by doing more with less. So
that's when it comes to tech, That's what it's all about, right,
So we just got to be the next person to
do more with less.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
And I think you're probably I think it's probably going on.
You know, one of the things about technology is you know,
if you try to patent something, everybody knows exactly what
you're doing. So technology is known for keeping things under
the hat what we call trade secrets. So you know,
I wouldn't doubt that Open AI and Amazon and Microsoft

(02:57):
and Google and Apple and all these companies that are
exploring AI and the benefits of it. I'm sure they
were very aware of deep seek and there's other entities
out there doing similar things, so they're all going to
keep an eye on it and where it makes sense,
they'll basically start to acquire some of these interesting technologies
to accelerate their adoption rate. So you know, technology has

(03:20):
always been known for that to you know, collaboration with
with you know, other entities out there, whether they be
partners or competitors. So you know, I think it's just
the start of what we see the AI environment starting
to be. I kind of view this as a wild West,
kind of very similar to what happened in the Internet
and the dot com space in the late nineties. You know,

(03:41):
where you're seeing a lot of uncertainty going on, a
lot of information going on. It's all how do we
ferret out the correct information and make sense of it
long term?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Talking to technology expert John Schultz, you know, pertaining to that, John,
I mean, you've spent about four decades around new technology.
When you take a look at AI, should people be fearful?
I mean, the stories are out there, it's the unknown
you hear about. You know, everybody's seen the movie Terminator.

(04:10):
You know, we're seeing we're we're seeing drones that are
armed used for the military.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
How scary of an area are we in?

Speaker 4 (04:23):
You know? I think I think that's, uh, that's an
interesting question you pose, because we really don't know. I
truly believe in the human race that there's there's more
good than evil in the you know, in the human race,
and so I'm all about looking at it from a
positive standpoint. I've always maintained that technology is agnostic. It

(04:44):
could be used for good or for evil, but ultimately
good typically outshines evil over time, and so I think
with the proper evaluations. You know, I'm I, you know,
the the open AI people and and Elon Musk and
everybody are looking at this thing from the endpoint. Uh,
you know, moderation. How do we control this, How do

(05:04):
we basically make it a useful tool out there? I
think it's going to be important. You know. One of
the things that I'm really kind of interested in following
is is that a long time ago when I took
a software programming class in college, I remember the professor saying,
garbage in, garbage out. And the way I look at
AI today, it's only as smart as we basically program

(05:25):
the system to be, you know, the human you know,
the human intelligence. We have the ability to take a
look at you know, two and two in equal four,
and with computers you really need to instruct it to
make it equal. For so it's going to be quite
interesting to see how well we're able to create a
system that can take volumes and volumes of information and

(05:46):
process it in milliseconds to basically make this all come
to confruition really quick. And that's the wonderful thing about it.
You can take existing information out there, which you know
there are you know, there are petabytes of this information
everywhere and even with my company. You know, what we're
doing today is we're capturing our customers data and we're
utilizing that to basically improve our product. We don't share

(06:08):
this information with anybody. We keep it under lock and key.
We consider this our own trade secret and our own
proprietary information. But the important thing is what we're trying
to do is make our application more user friendly and
you know, enhance the user experience. And I think that's
really where the true nature of AI is going to go,
is how do we make everybody's experience, whether it be

(06:30):
an AI agent where you have a personal assistant, basically
is doing the things, the mundane tasks and the routine
tasks that you have. So I think it's going to
be years before we understand what's going on where you
look at the you know, the affairs of drone technology
and all of the stuff that kind of goes on
in the Star Wars activity. Sure that just basically is

(06:51):
accelerated by the fact that, you know, processors can handle
things much faster than what we could from a manual
intervention standpoint.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
All right, well, John, I pre shape the insight and
I'm sure we'll talk again because AI is one of
the big topics out there in the world today. John,
thank you, you bet, you bet.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
I appreciate your time today.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
This topic is just going to continue to grow. It's
funny we actually have tomorrow coming on the show, a
local expert in the conversation that's going to be joining us.
But you know, when you hear about growth and technology,
of course, there's the excitement behind it, but there's also
the hesitation and the first concerns that pop into my

(07:34):
head for somebody who is not experienced in it very much.
Of course, it is touching our industry here, but I
think personally, with how much information, how much data do
you give this technology? If you think about things just
as simple as social media, say snapchat, what can AI

(07:59):
talk technology do with with the images of people? We
talk about fake news if it generates fake images. At
this point, there's already some out there. You can't tell
the difference between what's real and what's faked because of
how quickly the technology is changing. So I think the

(08:20):
conversation also needs to go towards the security factors and
how far do we let this technology into our personal lives.
I mean, I already talked about last week and this
week the scammer situation that I'm dealing with with the letters,
the emails that I'm receiving. Now, that's not AI technology,
I understand that, but those are the people that are

(08:43):
out there. So how much access can people like that
have with AI technology and use it against you personally?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
You know?

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Can they fake with this technology? Can they fake a
loved one's voice and you get a phone call and
say I need money, I'm trapped here, I'm whatever you
want to say. I think there needs to be the
conversation where everybody needs to slow down and take a
breath and consider how far this technology can go and

(09:17):
how it can affect us safety and security wise. Also
because it's growing, and it's growing quickly. You blink and
there's something new out there. And I know bloom Daddy
mentioned Terminator and you know, listen, that was our first
taste of it with the movie world, you know, but
how many times have we said things like star Trek

(09:41):
from a TV show or movie. Look what's come to
fruition that we've seen? So you got to be hesitant,
You've got to take caution. So but again, it is
a very very hot topic. What else is hot today?
Our show? We have more chances to win all day long.
Coming up thirty eight special and later on in the
show tough Man, along with Politics Unleashed with Elgin McCardle,

(10:05):
we return. Starbucks is in the news, and this time
it's good for you. Seven sixteen The Bloom Daddy Experience
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Wednesday, The bloom

(10:31):
Daddy Experienced Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
I will say this, I walked out of the house
this morning and I wasn't freezing. It didn't take my
breath away. It was so cold. That was kind of
a and the snow is melting, so a little bit.
Are we on a different trend? We are we coming
out of this this frozen tundra we've been in for

(10:54):
about a month. Oh anyways, part of the way people
are fighting it, of course, is if you're a coffee
drink Otis, you are an absolute coffee connoisseur.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
I wouldn't go that far.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Well, I don't drink it.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
Well, I never drank coffee until I started working here
in twenty sixteen. Oh well, yeah, so I've been drinking
coffee for nine years.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Well when it comes with these types of hours, that
tends to uh yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
And I experimented because there's different like I don't like
your regular coffee, Like I just like if you give
me like Maxwell House or Folgers, or if I drive
through you know, say like A and I don't want
to a Wendy's or McDonald's or something like, I can't
drink that coffee.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
You have to have the fancy and I have.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
Something that's got to have a little bit of flavor
to it. And it started off I found some coffee
that had like a coconut flavor to it, and so
I tried that. And then I even got a little crazy.
You know, the buy coconut water that they have it's
the AI. So what I did was I poured dad
in instead of water. I poured that into the coffee

(11:58):
maker and made my cokecnut coffee with coconut buy there
you go.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
No, not the same.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
No, it wasn't good. It was it was.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
It was.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
It was a good experiment to tell me that it sucks.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
It was a good idea though. Yeah, I mean it
makes sense, you know.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
And then I found like I think there's a there's
a company like I think it's Green Mountain or something
like that, and they make a blueberry coffee, and so
I try the different flavors. In fact, what am I
hold on?

Speaker 5 (12:27):
What are you drinking today?

Speaker 6 (12:30):
Well it's a white chocolate macadamias.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Okay, Well there's there's a reason why I bring this up. Now, Starbucks,
which is the the king of the Mountain, it is
the go to coffee name. Okay, when I see and
I'm going to be judgmental and I'm going to call
myself out on it to begin with, when I see
somebody walking around with the Starbucks cup, to me, it

(12:55):
comes off as a a societal statement, a like I'm drinking.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
I'm drinking a six dollar coffee and you're not correct?

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yes this this you know now up front, I'm not
a coffee drinker, so I'll leave it at that. But again,
if I see somebody cares like I'm drinking Starbucks, I've
had the time to go to Starbucks, and okay, Starbucks though,
is actually finally do you like like day? Yes?

Speaker 6 (13:29):
And his let's he get a milk almond oat something.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yeah, he's changed on he just I mean it just.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Sounds like he needs to turn his man card in.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
This coming from the coconut Macadamian drinker. True, but here's
why I bring up Starbucks. They are finally doing something
for the consumer if you drink in the cafe. So
this started yesterday. They are finally offering free refills on

(14:03):
hot or iced coffee or hot or iced tea if
you drink it in the Starbucks. So the drive through
people your sol but for those that stay in and socialize,
you can have free refills at Starbucks.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
I've never understood. So there are several Starbucks locations around Okay.
So there's some standalone Starbucks that have drive through windows.
There's also like the Starbucks that's like in the Target
at the Highlands, and oh they're inside other places. I've
never understood why there's like thirty cars in line at

(14:39):
the Starbucks.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
It's nuts.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
It's like, get out of your car and walk inside.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
The one over by the mall. It's always like that. Always.
I don't care what time of day it is. I
don't care what day it is. There is always a
line completely around that building.

Speaker 6 (14:56):
Always. I can't stand lines. And I sat in one
the other day because there's a new there's like a
car wash in Mountsville that's pretty high tech and it's
a it's a pretty good car wash.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Is that the membership one?

Speaker 6 (15:08):
You can't you don't have to have it? Man, I've
heard about this. Yeah, I forget what it's called, right,
car wash or something like that. Anyway, I waited in
line to get all the crap off of my car,
okay probably, and I probably was in line for twenty
minutes to a half an hour. Yeah, and that's that's like,
that's like a record for me, because if I go
to a restaurant they say it's going to be a

(15:30):
twenty minute wait. See, yeah, I'm going somewhere else. I
just I don't or I say, are there seats at
the bar?

Speaker 7 (15:36):
Right?

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (15:37):
I just I don't get it. I don't get the
Starbucks thing. I don't understand why you can't go to
a Sheets McDonald's.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
I like Sheets.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
Convenient a CFM, I like.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
I like.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
The reason I like Sheets is because like so like
sometimes I'll get the the white chocolate or caramel latte
or something like that, and I get it with the
low fat, you know, all the sugar free caramel and
all that, but you can also get the added you
can add a shot of espresso in. So like the coffee,
the caffeine and the coffee isn't enough, you get that

(16:12):
extra shot of espresso and then it's just like you're like,
it's like you're a dog with the zuomies.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
There you go. Listen. I know I'm in the minority.
I know I am, but.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Just about everything, but just and I'm like, we're not.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
Even talking about the financial side of this. Think about that.
If you do it just five days a week, say
five day a week, work forty.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
Five bucks, that doesn't count if you tip them.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
No, I mean that just adds up quickly.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Well, when I buy my coffee, my white, my white
chocolate macadamia runs to about forty two cents a cup,
So I'm cool. I'm perfectly fine with that.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Well, for those who have the Starbucks addiction, this is
your opportunity to get some free if you just get
out of the drive through line and plant your tukus
in a chair and get some free refills.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
So yea heah. If I go to a regular restaurant,
I can't do I can't do coffee unless you get
Unless you have like the this the French vanilla or
hazel nut creamer or something like that.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Even if you go for breakfast somewhere, I.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
Won't drink coffee when I eat. That's that's weird to me.
That's weird. Like I can drink it in the morning
and that's it.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
And people are listening, probably thinking they're weird.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
I'm weird.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
We're going to jump to a quick break here on
your Wednesday morning, The Bloom Died Experience OTIS and Sam
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA, who.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Say Tyrie topic number one fish oil tablets. I've heard
for years that taking fish oil will make an immediate
beneficial impact on joint health. I've heard people over and
over say that fish oil has made them feel much
better and allows them to get around, work out, basically
live a less painful life.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
So why not try them? Right?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
I went out bought some fish oil capsules, open up
the bar. I don't take my first dose two days ago,
turned the bottle upside down.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Guess what landed in the palm of my hand.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Two fish oil capsules, each the size of one of
Shaquille O'Neal's shoes. I've never seen bigger pills in my life,
and when it comes to swallowing pills or capsules, let's
just say I'm know Linda Lovelace, Okay, small pills make
me gag sometimes, and often it takes me a while
to get them down. Well, with these fish oil capsules,

(18:28):
I'm might as well try swallowing my fist. First attempt,
abject failure. As a matter of fact, after gagging on
it for about three seconds, I shot at about five
feet across the kitchen floor. Second attempt, I got it down,
but with a lot of water. Now it was on
to the second one. Same thing, but I got her done.
After three days of this, I'm starting to think i'd
rather feel like the Tin Man and the Wizard of
Oz in twenty five again. But I'm gonna keep at it,

(18:51):
and if one day they come on this show and
tell you of my untimely demise, it's gonna be because
I choked to death on a ficial oil capsule. The
size of your damn thumb. Topic number two, human ATM.
My third son, I love him, Braylan, love him to death.
But my third son thinks I'm a human ATM that
I can just bend over and out flies twenty dollars
bills from the crack of my you know what, And

(19:12):
this is where he's got me over a barrel. He's
trying to eat healthier, which of course costs more money.
Now Brayln's a freshman baseball player at Wright State University,
living in an apartment with three teammates. He didn't want
the meal plan, wanted to cook his own healthy meals
and meal prep for the week because it's fully loaded
with classes and practice. So I get it, And I've
been on him for years to eat better. I mean

(19:33):
before now, he thought a healthy meal was two cheesy
Gordida crunches in a side of cinnamon twist from Taco Bell.
Now's making steaks, grilled chicken, all that stuff in abundance
because they want him to get to one hundred ninety pounds.
He went in at one sixty five. He's sitting at
one point eighty. So his grocery bill is ridiculous. But
what do I say, start eating chicken tenders and fries again?

(19:55):
Course not, so I'm going to keep on bending over
and grabbing my ankles, shooting out twenty dollars bis like
pac Man Jones at a strip club. And finally, topic
number three, The Kansas City Chiefs. Say what you want
about the Chiefs. They get all the calls, they cheat.
Patrick Mahomes looks like Darlene from the sitcom rose Anne,
which he does. They're damn good and to beat them

(20:17):
you have to play perfect football because they're gonna And
isn't it kind of amazing how we hate greatness in America?
Instead of admiring it, we want to see players or
teams fail who sustain greatness?

Speaker 3 (20:29):
And why is that? Is it jealousy?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Is it just wanting to see failure for those who
are better than everybody else. Instead of cherishing what the
Chiefs or the Patriots or the Lakers of the early
two thousands did which has sustained success, we envy it
and in turn don't appreciate it. So, you know what,
I'm rooting for the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.
It become the first team to ever threepeat. Why wouldn't
I Why wouldn't you want to see something incredible done

(20:52):
by a bunch of guys who've obviously done everything in
their power to be the best. And if we all
did that in our personal lives, how much better would
this world? Be and that's your Tuesday, tyree.

Speaker 8 (21:05):
All right, First of all, the struggle bus is real,
so bloom Daddy's having problems with the pills. Which, by
the way, those.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Fish if you've never seen them, they are the size.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
You can get different ones. There's in fact, I have
I have a fish oil pillow in my in my
medicine right now that I'm going to take in about
ten minutes, and I'll show you it's a lot smaller.
Oh really, they do have the ones that look like
like big toast or they look like horse depositories. Yeah,
you know.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, but I will say this, My father swears by
fish oil. He's probably taking it for fifteen years.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Swears supposed to be good for your heart too.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Yeah, swears by it.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
But listen, he's complaining about giving his kid money. His
kid's on a scholarship. He's not paying for the college.
He's on a baseball scholarship. So you know, would you
rather be paying I don't know, twenty thousand dollars a
year and education or would you rather give him, you know,
two hundred, five hundred dollars a month so he eats healthy.

(22:05):
I'd rather give him the five hundred a month. And
twenty thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
Well, it's funny because you have started this new year,
you started your journey where you are doing the workouts.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
And beat a little healthier.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yeah, you've made changes. I went last week two weeks ago,
brought kind of went on my ti rate about the
glasses thing. But when I say, the struggle bus is real.
I picked them up yesterday. I am having the hardest
time today. This morning is the first morning that I'm
really trying to force myself to wear them after getting

(22:42):
them yesterday. They are progressives, so there's like three different
prescriptions in the lenses. I've never had glasses before. I'm
trying to look down. This is just it's awful. I'm
gonna say it's awful.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
I just say it's just a matter of getting used
to it.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
I've got a screaming headache. My stomach is flip flopping
because I can't. I'm moving my head like I feel
like a bobblehead in the back of a car. Remember
Grandma's kind of but remember those things that Grandma's used
to have and the dogs. That's what I feel like. Yeah,
So I am just I am absolutely struggling in.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
His third tirade about the Chiefs. You know what, He's right,
because if you're successful, people, I mean like people don't
like like look at how many people hated Tom Brady
and the Patriots. Why because they were successful? Because they
were good? I mean, why would you hate that? And

(23:42):
as he was saying that, in my mind, I'm thinking
there's probably he's not wrong first off, but I think
there were a few exceptions, Like I don't know of
anybody that didn't root for cal Ripken to break Lou
Garrick's record. I mean, there's certain things that like when
Pete you know, when he broke ty cause when he
became the all time hit king, I don't think there

(24:04):
was anybody that rooted against him. Hank Aaron breaking Babe
Bruce record was a little different because it was in
the South. You still had you know, you know, it
was still a very turbulent, turbulent time, you know there there.
I mean, Hank Aaron got death threats because he was
black and gonna break Babe Bruce record. So I mean,

(24:28):
but I think the majority of the people were rooting
for Hank Aaron to do it. Okay, Yeah, you're gonna
have your factions that you know that are just stupid.
But then again, I don't think anybody wanted to see
Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's record.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
But when it comes to the Chiefs and it comes
to the Patriots, and it comes to football in a
team sport, as I've said before, there is a lot
of questionable calls that always go their way.

Speaker 6 (24:56):
And it seemed that way, and it.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Was the same thing with the Patriot. But what did
I tell you yesterday?

Speaker 6 (25:02):
I think it seems that way. But here's the thing,
but you.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Can't deny like I read this yesterday, ninety percent fear
of penalties the Chiefs receive than their opponents. That is
a drastic separation percentage wise. It's not forty nine to
fifty one percent. It's a ninety percent difference between the.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Chiefs and in the game. Is I mean, if you
actually watch the game, do the opponents do other things
to try to beat the Chiefs and then they get
called for penalties? Like are they're more holding calls? Are
there more?

Speaker 5 (25:38):
No, there's more calls like roughing the passer because it
doesn't say that, it just says penalties. Okay, Well, either way,
if you watch what if it's.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
You know, illegal motion penalties.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
But Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady. Patrick Mahomes is the
new Tom Brady where if you even sneeze on him,
you're getting a roughing the passer call.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
Which does the NFL want to pretend their brand? Sure
they do.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
They want to protect certain quarterbacks more than other quarters.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Well, but here's the thing, because it's why why would
you why would you want to protect I mean you,
here's what I'm saying, who's who's who's making you? The
thing is who's making the NFL the money? There you go,
That's what it boils down.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
So then you've got to admit there is favoritism.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
But I'm thinking that I'm saying that the general public
over exaggerates.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
It, over exaggerates.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
The fact that. I mean, you know when when they
talk about you know, oh look at that that that call.
Maybe it shouldn't have been made. But again it's a
judgment call. When it's a judgment call, it could go
either way. I just I mean, I I look at
it like this, you know, I mean, you talk about
umpires that give pictures, you know, you know, the more

(26:53):
experienced pictures, the better pictures, you know, they're going to
get that outside corner where the rookie is not going
to get it. Okay, let's let's live and learn. You know,
it happens everywhere. It's called it's called human error, it's
called human judgment, whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
But when ninety percent of the time it goes in
the favor of one team, there, that's the problem. That's
too big of a gap. There's the that's the problem.
When when the ref is wearing the team's jersey underneath
their stripes, that's a problem. Seven forty five The Bloom
Daddy Experience coming up. We have your chance to win

(27:33):
here shortly tough Man Tickets Family four pack. You don't
want to miss it, but we're gonna do it. We're
gonna be doing that here a little bit shortly, and
still you still have time to register for free lunch
Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, name phone number, business. We'll
be pulling that a little bit later in the short
show News Radio eleven seventy WWVA welcome back. Seven point

(28:09):
fifty one. The Blue Daddy Experience. All right, so we
were talking the chiefs.

Speaker 6 (28:14):
What I just looked at the Alexa that we have
in here and I look to see what time, what
the temperature was. Yeah, and it had the time at
twelve fifty one. No, then it switched screens and it
came back and now it's right. But now there it is.
It says now it's twelve fifty two.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
I don't know alexis having Alexis on the struggle bus
like me this morning.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
I don't know if we're a head or behind.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Alrighty then oh no, yeah, So anybody out there, if
you have if you've gone through what I'm going through
right now with this whole trying to adjust the glasses,
and if you have any pointers, please I will take anything. Yes,
I know, yeah I'm whining. I don't care I'm whining.
I am just God, nobody wants to hear it now anyways. Yeah,

(29:04):
so you have any suggestions, I will happily take them off,
take them. But that's not helping either because never mind.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
Well, I'm just saying, if you like, if if you're
getting a headache and you're feeling nauseous to my suggestion
would be to take off until you get reacquainted to
and then put them back on.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
That's what I'm trying to do, is periodically, you know,
but it's just anyways, So we were talking about the
Super Bowl matchup the Chiefs and the Eggless or you
would even say that. So fifty five percent of football
fans and this I will agree with, think that the
day after the super Bowl should be a holiday.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
Well, you know, the NFL totally screwed this up.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Does that surprise you.

Speaker 6 (29:44):
Because the one year that they could have done it,
they totally screwed it up because they could have had
the super Bowl the Sunday before Martin Luther King Day,
so there there was one super Bowl. You know how
they have the week between the playoffs, so like this
is dead week, Yeah, okay, it's the play What they
could have done the one year they took the dead

(30:06):
week out, so they went from the playoffs right to
the super Bowl, nothing in between. That happened one time.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
That had to be a while ago.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
It was so, I mean, because that's like the super
Bowl that was like on January twelfth or something like that.
So the next year they put the week back in,
moved the season back a week so that the super
Bowl fell the week the Sunday after Martin Luther King Day.
So then they went to an eighteen game schedule, which

(30:37):
moved it back another week. So now the super Bowl
is like this year, it's February ninth. Well, guess what,
Start your season a week later. Okay, start your season
a week later, and the super Bowl could be on
the nineteenth of this year. I'm sorry, let's see. Let

(30:58):
we got to think here, six seven whatever that is,
the sixteenth, fourteen, fifteen, sixty sixteenth could be on the sixteenth,
the seventeenth a holiday, it's President's Day. Yeah, build in,
you don't have to do it.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Problem solved.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
Problem solved. I mean, how hard is that?

Speaker 5 (31:17):
You know it would not be hard, But are things
ever easy? Do people think that way? No?

Speaker 6 (31:24):
I mean like starting the NFL season a week later,
is that really going to hurt anything? No?

Speaker 5 (31:30):
No, because honestly, I think if you ask the majority
of football fans, they would rather see it start a
week early and have the Monday after the super Bowl off.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
Or no, it would be started a week later, or
put a second bye week in. Yeah something, So extend
your season one week, still only play eighteen games, but
in nineteen weeks or in twenty weeks.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Well, let's be honest, how many people if you stay
up and watch the super Bowl. Number one, how many
call off the next day, depending on if your team's
in it. Now, if you're not really that you just
watch it to watch it.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
The super Bowl is normally over by nine thirty, ten o'clock.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Yeah, but if it's your team, your two teams, is
a little bit different. But anyways, you know, how productive
are you at work the next day or do you
call off?

Speaker 6 (32:15):
Yeah? It just but no, it's it's not hard. The
NFL just doesn't want to like are they are they
not going to do it because it makes sense, or
are they not doing it because they went their own
official holiday? Because that's how the NFL will doe. The
NFL wants everything. They want everything when it comes to
you know, they want to be relevant twelve months out

(32:36):
of the year. Yeah, so you know what happens after
the super Bowl. You have a little bit of a
dead time. Then in what is it March, you have
the combine and now that's on there, and then in
April you have the Draft, and then then in like
you have the main the workouts, and then July starts
you know, your spring, and then August and then boom
there you go.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
Yeah, they they're.

Speaker 6 (32:58):
Trying to remain relevant for the entire twelve months.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
But the problem is they're actually watering down their product.
Because what made football as special as it used to
compared to it is now. It was more exclusive because
the time frame was so short. That's what I think
made people gravitate to it because you knew you only

(33:22):
had a small window to really enjoy it. I think
the fact that they have spread it out as much
as they have, it's watered it.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
Down for being Thursday night football.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Yeah, I don't like Thursday night other than Thanksgiving, Yeah,
because that made Thanksgiving football special. Yeah, yeah, it is.
Uh there, they've tried to make way way too much
money off of it and spread it out too far.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
And the football made in Ohio.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Yeah, I was getting to that. Yeah, we're at It
doesn't say where anyways, but yes they are working there.
Yes here and not here, I'm sorry, across the river,
in the Great State of Ohio. You know what, just Ohio,
the Great State of Ohio. Here we go. Caller number fourteen,

(34:09):
fourteen one, eight hundred six two four eleven seventy. Caller
number fourteen get four tickets to go see tough Man
Valentine's Day weekend down at West Banko Arena. Four tickets,
caller number fourteen one, eight hundred six two, four eleven seventy.

(34:30):
We have made it to the top of the hour
on this Wednesday morning.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
We get the Queen joining this.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Later here a little bit later, eight o'clock hours unleashed,
Politics unleashed. We got a couple of things we're gonna
get in.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Right now we're giving away tough Man. But then the
next hour we've got thirty eight special tickets, So keep
that in mind.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
One hundred sixty two four eleven seventy. You're listening to
the bloom Daddy Experience Otis and Sam News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Ze number one Tuch show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news Radio eleven seventy. WWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
News Radio eleven seventy gets the bloom Daddy Experience. Hey,
it's eight six, let's get this hour rolling. Chinese artificial
intelligence company called deep Sea grabbing attention all over the
United States, set a shockwave through Wall Street due to
its new tech, which the experts are saying rivals that
of open AI's chat gpt.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Now.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
The latest app from deep Seek comes days after Trump
announced a new five hundred billion dollar venture with chat
gpt maker open Ai, Soft Bank, and Oracle dub Stargate,
which he's touting as ensuring the future of technology in
the US. I want to bring on John Schultz, technology expert.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
John.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
The US won the space race, but only after the
Soviet Union launch Spotnick in nineteen fifty seven. Is this
kind of the new space race, if you will? Is
this exactly what we need when it comes to ai?
A little push by the Chinese?

Speaker 4 (36:18):
You know, I have to agree with you on that
subject there. You know, the US has always dominated innovation
and technology over the years, and I think over the
last five to six years we've been a little bit
complacent about better innovation and what we're trying to accomplish
these days. So I agree. I think, you know, this
may be a little bit of a wake up call.

(36:39):
I call it an AHA moment. I don't think it's
as significant as some people are making it out to be.
You know, because technology the way I look at technology.
There is there's basically four things that happen with technology.
Everybody's looking to get bigger, better, faster, and cheaper. And
I think this is just another remarkable change and technology

(37:00):
that somebody has come up with a unique way of
basically coming up with something that is perceived cheaper. You know,
this being an open environment that they're proposing. You know,
it's gonna be quite interesting to see, you know, whether
or not large companies start to adopt this, because what
would happen is you don't want to expose your company
secrets or your company IP to an open source environment.

(37:22):
So it's gonna be quite interesting to see, you know,
how corporations respond to this in general.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
All right, to your point, John deep Seak really took
the market by storm by doing more with less.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
So that's when it comes to tech.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
That's what it's all about, right, So we just got
to be the next person to do more with less.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
And I think you're probably I think it's probably going on.
You know. One of the things about technology is you know,
if you try to patent something, everybody knows exactly what
you're doing. So technology is known for keeping things under
the hat. What we call trade secrets. So you know,
I wouldn't doubt that Open Ai and Amazon and Microsoft

(38:00):
and Google and Apple and all these companies that are
exploring AI and the benefits of it. I'm sure they
were very aware of deep seek and there's other entities
out there doing similar things, so they're all going to
keep an eye on it, and where it makes sense,
they'll basically start to acquire some of these interesting technologies
to accelerate their adoption rate. So you know, technology has

(38:24):
always been known for that to you know, collaboration with
with you know, other entities out there, whether they be
partners or competitors. So, you know, I think it's just
the start of what we see the AI environment starting
to be. I kind of view this as a wild
West kind of very similar to what happened in the
Internet and the dot com space in the late nineties.

(38:45):
You know, where you're seeing a lot of uncertainty going on,
a lot of information going on. It's all how do
we ferret out the correct information and make sense of
it long term?

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Talking to technology expert John Schultz, you know, pertaining to that, John,
I mean you've spent about four decades around new technology.
When you take a look at AI. Should people be fearful?
I mean, the stories are out there, it's the unknown
you hear about. You know, everybody's seen the movie Terminator.

(39:13):
You know, we're seeing we're we're seeing drones that are
armed used for the military.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
How scary of an area are we in? You know?

Speaker 4 (39:28):
I think I think that's, uh, that's an interesting question
you pose, because we really don't know. I truly believe
in the human race that there's there's more good than
evil in the you know, in the human race, and
so I'm all about looking at it from a positive standpoint.
I've always maintained that technology is agnostic. It could be

(39:48):
used for good or for evil, but ultimately good typically
outshines evil over time. And so I think with the
proper evaluations, you know, I'm I you know, the the
Open AI people and Elon Musk and everybody are looking
at this thing from the standpoint of, you know, moderation.
How do we control this, How do we basically make

(40:09):
it a useful tool out there? I think it's going
to be important. You know. One of the things that
I'm really kind of interested in following is is that
a long time ago, when I took a software programming
class in college. I remember the professor saying garbage in,
garbage out, and the way I look at AI today,
it's only as smart as we basically program the system

(40:29):
to be, you know, the human you know, the human intelligence.
We have the ability to take a look at you know,
two and two in equal four, and with computers you
really need to instruct it to make it equal for
so it's going to be quite interesting to see how
well we're able to create a system that can take
volumes and volumes of information and process it in milliseconds

(40:52):
to basically make this all come to fruition really quick.
And that's the wonderful thing about it. You can take
existing information out there, which you know there are you know,
they are petabytes of this information everywhere, and even with
my company, you know, what we're doing today is we're
capturing our customers data and we're utilizing that to basically
improve our product. We don't share this information with anybody.

(41:14):
We keep it under lock and key. We consider this
our own trade secret and our own proprietary information. But
the important thing is what we're trying to do is
make our application more user friendly and you know, enhance
the user experience, and I think that's really where the
true nature of AI is going to go is how
do we make everybody's experience, whether it be an AI

(41:35):
agent where you have a personal assistant, basically is doing
the things, the mundane tasks and the routine tasks that
you have. So I think it's going to be years
before we understand what's going on where you look at
the you know, the affairs of drone technology and all
of the stuff that kind of goes on in the
Star Wars activity. Sure that just basically is accelerated by

(41:55):
the fact that, you know, processors can handle things much
faster than what we can from a manual intervention standpoint.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
All right, well, John, I appreciate the insight, and I'm
sure we'll talk again because AI is one of the
big topics out there in the world today, John, thank.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
You, you bet, you bet. I appreciate your time today.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
Welcome back eighteen on your Wednesday morning. You know what
that means. It's time for politics unleashed with Elgin mccartial,
who's joining us via phone today because she is a
very busy lady.

Speaker 6 (42:31):
Good morning, Elgin, Oh here we get. Good morning, Elgin,
Good morning, how are you buttons are hard? Somebody turned
my phone button off. I didn't do it.

Speaker 7 (42:46):
Oh is there a goat?

Speaker 6 (42:50):
No? Sometimes don't don't come in and record with me.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
I was the last one.

Speaker 6 (42:54):
Ill, Why do you have to turn that off?

Speaker 5 (42:57):
I don't know why I did it. I just I'll
admit it.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
It was. If there's nobody calling me, if you don't
put anybody on, you don't have to turn on.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
I know, I know.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
We'll talk about their new break.

Speaker 5 (43:06):
I'm just throwing myself on the fire because I'm the
one that did it, all right. Anyways, Okay, Elgin, it's
been a busy first week and a half, let's say,
for the Trump administration. Just some numbers for you. Yeah,
seventy three hundred deported in his first week in office
of illegals, so again we're talking busy. Fifty eight of

(43:27):
them detained in the state of West Virginia. So West
Virginia is now on the board also. But one of
the big conversations with the immigration topic, and I was
reading up on this over the weekend and I thought,
you know what, I'm going to hold on this to
when we have elginon, because I want to talk about
the birthright citizenship conversation that's happening, what Trump wants to do,

(43:52):
and those that are fighting it. So, first of all,
I'm going to read you two opinions or two contrasting
explanations of what birthright citizenship is. That when I read
it read both of these, I'm going wait a second here,
So this is why I want to talk to you.
So this the first one is from Gerard Newman. He

(44:19):
is from Harvard Law, all right, and he says the
Constitution is clear those born on American soil, even to
undocumented parents, are citizens of the United States. He's an expert,
Mister Newman is an expert in immigration and nationality law. Says,
both history and Supreme Court precedent confirm and intend to

(44:42):
grant citizenship to anyone born in the US, and the
President of the United States has no authority to change
citizenship rules at all. Now, the second article I read said,
contrary to popular belief, the fourteenth Amendment doesn't say that
all people born in the US are citizens. What's the difference.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
Well, as to the first comment, the words and language
that he uses are not actually in the fourteenth Amendment. Okay,
So it says what it says is all perfect and
I quote all persons born are naturalized in the United
States comma and subject to the jurisdiction thereof comma are

(45:34):
citizens of the United States and of the state wherein
they reside. So the big question on what this amendment
means is what the Supreme Court interprets to be and
subject to the jurisdiction thereous. Okay. So that is the
big clause that has to be interpreted by the United

(45:55):
States Supreme Court. And I think it was interpreted along
long and long long time ago as it applied to
slaves and children that were born to slaves, because slaves
were not recognized as quote, citizens of the United States.
Any child born to slaves were similarly not recognized as citizens. Okay,

(46:19):
So subject to the jurisdiction thereof is a clause within
the fourteenth Amendment that the Supreme Court has interpreted. And
so fast forward to twenty twenty five, where there is
a question on whether or not anybody who is born
in the United States is automatically a citizen, so subject

(46:43):
to the jurisdiction thereof, I think is the executive order
speaks to an illegal immigrant who comes over from across
the border, the southern border and just hops on to
two feet onto the soil of the United States and
has a child. Okay, is that child now subject to

(47:06):
the jurisdiction of the court and therefore United States citizen.
That's where it comes in, and it's very blurry. I
think the argument is that if you're legally in the
United States and you have a child born in the
United States, then that child is a it is a
citizen of the United States. However, if you come in

(47:27):
illegally under the radar, not subject to the jurisdiction, and
then have a child solely for the purpose of creating citizenship,
that's where I think.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
Those are the extremes.

Speaker 7 (47:38):
So that, interestingly, go ahead, I.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
Was gonna say, So, that's the distinct difference is if
you are an immigrant who came here and did it
the right way and went through the naturalization process, and
you have become an American citizen and you have a child,
the child does not have to go through that process
that you did to become a naturalized citizen.

Speaker 7 (48:01):
Well, right, they're not a naturalized citizen. They're just a
birthright citizen because they were born here and they were
born to parents who were legally here now you know,
you have to take it back to Ellis Island, so
once upon. So if you interpret it as the constitutional
professor did, then everybody in the United States, with exception

(48:24):
of Indians, are not citizens because they were born to immigrants.
Because the United States is a melting pot. I am
one of those. My parents came over from the Philippines
and they came over on work visas. I think they
were HB one visas, you know, and did their residency
here in the United States. While they were here in

(48:46):
the United States, my older sister and I were born. Okay,
that makes me a United States citizen. At the time,
my parents were not citizens. We then moved back to
the Philippines for a periods like four or five years.
My younger sister was born in the Philippines. Now, because
she was born in the Philippines, she and she she

(49:08):
was she had a she was a Philippino citizen. Right,
she comes over, then we can all come back to
the United States and my parents become naturalized citizens. When
my sister turned my youngest sister turned eighteen, she had
she had to choose, are you gonna be a Philippino
resident or a citizen or United States citizens. So it's

(49:28):
kind of my family sort of in the in the
circumstances under which we came over and I was born
and my other sister was born and then came over,
kind of runs the gamut of potential scenarios of how
do you become a citizen. So it will go up
to the United the United States Supreme Court, it will
be interpreted, you know, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, And

(49:54):
that's I think. I think there's valid arguments on both sides.
But I looked for Congress potentially to address the issue
and pass a law that basically says, as long as
you are here legally on HB one Vzo or otherwise ABCPE,
then you have your child was born in the United States,
then the United States citizens. Just as people in the

(50:16):
military who are abroad but on base in Germany, in Russia,
in Afghanistan, if a child is born there, they're United
States citizens. So it's very because they're subject to the
jurisdiction thereof. So it is it is going to be
an interesting argument, and one that is one that very
legally immersed it in fact.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
Well, and that's the thing I think. I think a
lot of people are are. It was a good explanation.
That's what I wanted to get out there for everybody
is to understand the complexities of what is going into this,
because is what they're trying to put an end to
is like you said, you take two steps over the
imaginary order line and you have a child on our soil,

(51:04):
that child immediately becomes United State citizen. That's what they're
trying to diminish.

Speaker 7 (51:11):
Right right, And you know in the dack of children
and all those things. So there's lots of you know,
in it's all in the immigration policy. Clearly he's President
Trump is starting with those convicted of crimes, and you
know there are there others that are getting caught up
in the in the sweep absolutely because if the individuals

(51:33):
who are convicted of crime are released by the sanctuary
cities into the public, then they go out to the
public and ice has to go find him. When they
go find him. If they are in a house and
that house happens to have other individuals who are illegal immigrants,
they're going to whether or not they're convicted, it's they're illegal,

(51:53):
you know, So.

Speaker 6 (51:54):
It is it is.

Speaker 7 (51:55):
It is amazing how quickly they have been rounded up.
You know that one of the questions and debates and
while the election is going on, how in the world
they're going to round up millions and millions of people. Well,
they're doing it. Yeah, they're doing over one thousand a day,
seventy eight hundred in the first week. Trump's not messing around, right,
it's our country. Hold days that have come here illegally

(52:17):
do not need to be here.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Hold that thought. I'm glad you brought up sanctuary cities
because I have some questions on that too. We're going
to get into that here shortly when we return with
Politics Unleashed. Elgim mccardal here on news Radio eleven seventy
WWVA eight thirty five. Welcome back the Blue Daddy experience.

(52:50):
We're not done with her yet, elgim mccardal. Politics suddenly
still with us. So Elgin Okay, you brought up sanctuary
cities before the break, and I'm glad you did because
I have a question with Okay, So let's take Chicago
Mayor Brandon Johnson for example. He's been one of the
most outstanding i'm sorry, outspoken, uh mayors of larger cities

(53:16):
sanctuary cities. Who is saying, you know, I'm not going
to work with the administration, I'm not going to work
with Tom hom and ice not gonna let cops, you know,
city cops get involved. For those leaders of these sanctuary
cities that are saying absolutely not to federal authorities, can
they face any type of legal ramifications for going up

(53:40):
against these new the the federal regulations that are being
administered throughout the country.

Speaker 7 (53:48):
Well, again, it's semantics, and you have to look at
and listen to what they're saying. What they're saying is
they're not going to help, and not helping is not
the same as hindering. Okay, so they don't have to
necessarily cooperate with them. In other words, use their use
their forces to say, Okay, well we're going to work

(54:09):
in conjunction with the Feds and I and I'm going
to let you have our state police. I'm going to
let you have the city police in Chicago, and they're
all going to go with you. They're going to go
to the briefing. They're going to help you round these
people up and put them into cars and deport them. Okay,
that's what they're saying, And not going to do all right,

(54:30):
that doesn't mean that that does not subject them to
criminal prosecution. What does subject them to criminal prosecution is
if they have somebody in jail, all right, that's been
convicted and who's.

Speaker 5 (54:43):
An illegal.

Speaker 7 (54:45):
Immigrants and they don't turn them over, then that's what
they call harboring, you know, sucreinging the you know, the
presence of whatever, or if they actively warn them to say, hey,
they're coming, so you need to hide that. See, they
have to do something proactive to prevent and obstruct the
efforts of ice and you know, Tom Homan and the lot.

(55:10):
They don't have to provide their officers, but they cannot stand.

Speaker 5 (55:15):
In the way of Okay, interesting though.

Speaker 7 (55:18):
There's there's a distinction. Yeah, I mean when you think,
when you listen to what he says, we're not going
to you know, help with coordinate with et cetera. So
it's different then we're not going to help versus we're
going to hinder.

Speaker 5 (55:32):
Gotcha, Okay, isn't It's amazing how just a few words
can completely protect somebody in a way.

Speaker 7 (55:41):
Yes, yes, I mean that's I mean the whole first
year of lawsuit law school, that is all you do
differentiate where the comma is does it say and does
it say? Or is it active is it passive? So
you learn so much more of the English language and
how to interpret I mean, and that that's where all
of the things, you know, where you get a bill

(56:03):
where you know, in Congress and they say, oh, well
we'll whoped up this bill and it's a thousand pages
of we're gonna we're gonna go over, We're gonna go
to the floor in two hours. Well, there's no way
that chikpok would go over where a fine tooths home.
And that's how you know, things get passed and then
as they get interpreted in real life and and attorney's
enterall the people are charged. Then you start looking at

(56:23):
the statute and you're like, okay, right, well no it
doesn't it says this. And that's where that's where everything
is subject to interpretation.

Speaker 5 (56:33):
Interesting, Okay, I didn't realize it got into that that
fine semantic. Like you said, your first year of law school.
I didn't realize it was that minute. That's why I
didn't go to school.

Speaker 7 (56:47):
Oh it's ridiculous, I mean, that's you know, it is,
it's the whole first year. It's a Socratic method. It's
the you know, they they they just train you to
think that way and then yeah, after your first year,
you can't undo it. What difficult to argue with an attorney.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
That's why you don't even try. But everybody loves to
have one in their corner, don't they? Oh yeah, they did.
So yesterday we got to see the new White House
Press Secretary, Caroline Levitt in her first press conference. Did
you get to see any of that?

Speaker 7 (57:21):
I did, and your thoughts dark?

Speaker 5 (57:23):
Oh, twenty seven years old?

Speaker 7 (57:26):
Twenty seven years old? I mean, you know, I have
a twenty five year old daughter, and I have a
thirty year old son and a thirty two year old daughter,
and she is and they're smart. My kids are smart.
But man, she is just knowledgeable. And not only is
she knowledgeable, she's well spoken, smart. She did have some notes,

(57:48):
but she certainly didn't have the binder, and she said
her mind is a binder, and it's clearly it is.
She's so sharp as attack and for being twenty seven
years old, so composed, so poised, and very knowledgeable, and
she doesn't and she speaks very well. It's not a
word salad. It's not cabative. She sort of set the

(58:10):
tone and the ground rules for this administration and how
she plans on handling the press room. I'm going to
bring you the truth, and I expect you to do
the same, and I'm gonna call you out when you don't. Well,
that's some of the interesting facts that she brought out
were very interesting.

Speaker 5 (58:27):
Well, and she wasn't like you said, she wasn't aggressive.
That was one of the first things I noticed. She
wasn't aggressive. She was very even keeled and put the
information out there. The way she handled I'm not sure
what organization she was with. The female reporter asked about
the illegal situation and wanted her to break down the
numbers of you know, the their charges. How many of

(58:49):
them are actually uh criminals, convicted criminals, And she said,
they're all criminals. They came here illegally, like we want
to talk to me, They're all criminals.

Speaker 6 (59:01):
The funny thing is Jimmy Fayla, who used to be
on the show with Blundaddy, huh okay, he had on
his Facebook he posted Caroline Levitt is thirty minutes into
a press briefing and she hasn't looked up a single
answer yet. KJP would have gone through three binders in
a magic eight ball by Now, this is why people
want to ditch the EI for mediocracy, so right exactly.

Speaker 7 (59:24):
I mean, and that's been obviously one of the big topics.
Honest to Pete, you know, you sent me the topics
last night. I looked at him. I thought, hmm, this
is about twenty four hours behind the news cycle.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
Trump.

Speaker 7 (59:39):
Honestly, it is hard to keep up with that man
in a news cycle. I mean a twenty four hour
news cycle. You're already late the next day if you're
recording on the day before, because he's already done things
every night. I mean, you know Christy Noam, you know
being involved in the roundup ye New York. I mean,
it's just it's amazing. I mean Tom Hollman, I don't

(01:00:02):
think he sleeps. No, he couldn't have slept since it's auguration. No,
I mean, that's that's a lot of people to coordinate.

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
It's a it's an amazing amount of of work that's
been done in a week. And you you step back
and you say, Okay, so this has been accomplished by
people who have just taken these positions. Now I get it.
President Trump was already Trump, once president, once before. But

(01:00:30):
a lot of the for a lot of these people,
these are new positions that they've never done before, and bam,
they are off and they are running full speed and
like you said, yes, and they're they're they're not sleeping.
It's amazing.

Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
I think I think what happened was as soon as
he won, that was it. Yeah, as soon as he
won November sixth, that you know, he already had his
people in mind. He already had his group, they'd already
done the research for the past four years. Did they
already had the data, He'd already had a plan. He
just needed to get the leaders in place. And that
is the key distinguishing factor. Well, I mean, there's so

(01:01:11):
many these things factors, but Trump and his capacity to
lead and his no nonsense personality has just been a
refreshing leadership role because everybody, here's the policy. He set
the policy delegated to those people who are capable and

(01:01:35):
have merit based upon meritorious qualifications, put them in charge,
has got them through you know, the Senate and confirmation.
As soon as they're done, be ready. And I'm sure
he had the conversation with people he was interviewing. You know,
is that this not only is meritocracy a big point
in policy in this administration, it is work ethic. I

(01:01:59):
mean he don't have work ethic and you don't have
merit don't even apply.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
Yeah, there's no there's no grace period or learning period
for any of them. They are off. Oh no, no,
it's been it's been amazing, amazing and refreshing. And it
makes you say, what were those other people doing for
four years?

Speaker 7 (01:02:20):
Well, clearly there's there's a lot of people who are
just being Yeah, the fun. The funding has been cut,
the grants have been cut, you know, and they've been
here here you go mine and it's not like you've
sewn them on the street either. He's given them a severance.

Speaker 8 (01:02:35):
Right here's you.

Speaker 7 (01:02:36):
Know, they're given an opportunity to resign and get a severbce.
So they're going to be fired. Take your pick. I
think you resign and take the severns.

Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Well, on that note, we're gonna let you go because

Speaker 8 (01:04:52):
So so congrats.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
To Nick and his team and then coming up here,
like I said, thirty eight special tickets, so we were to.
We've talked about this a little bit, the whole Golf
of Mexico name.

Speaker 6 (01:05:04):
Change to the Golf of America.

Speaker 5 (01:05:07):
So Google Maps has confirmed that they will change Golf
of Mexico to Golf of America in the maps section
of Google once it goes through the there's legal things
that has to go through through the government. So once

(01:05:28):
that's official, then they will change it on the maps.

Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
So I'm actually on Google Maps right now because I
was looking for something that I have to do later today.

Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
Is it there?

Speaker 6 (01:05:37):
No, it says Golf of Mexico.

Speaker 5 (01:05:38):
Still, Oh okay, I's gonna say they did it really quick,
but it says it really small. Says it really small, Okay, Like.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
Where it says the Bahamas is bigger than where it
says Golf of Mexico.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Uh huh.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
And Havana is bigger than Golf of Mexico. The type
of the font in everything, Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:05:54):
Okay, okay now. And then the other one is Mount McKinley.
Going back to Mount McKinley, it was called Mount Denali.
And I'll be honest, I didn't know Mount McKinley had
had its name changed. Did you know that?

Speaker 6 (01:06:09):
I think I did.

Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
I mean, I don't know. So Google Maps is involved,
and once it is official, it will be official on
Google Maps. I don't know. I don't even know where
that came from. When that announcement was made, the McKinley
thing with the executive orders, it was like, okay, well
it seemed random to me, but.

Speaker 6 (01:06:29):
Well there's there's there's a theory out there that's being
kicked around that the reason Trump wants to change the
name from Golf of Mexico to Golf of America is
because Joe Biden signed some sort of a in order
that there would be no drilling in the Golf of Mexico.

Speaker 5 (01:06:49):
So if he changes they changed.

Speaker 6 (01:06:51):
The name, then it's a technicality.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
It goes back to what Elgin was saying with the
whole the minute details with verbiage. Yeah, I'll be darn
that makes sense.

Speaker 6 (01:07:05):
And again that's just the theory that's being kicked around.

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
But it's not a stupid theory. I mean, that's it's
a clever theory. And if that's what he's doing, then
that's it's weird. Yes, it's it's so simple, but wow.

Speaker 6 (01:07:21):
Okay, So in other words, if he says, hey, we're
going to be drilling in the Gulf of America, well
you didn't break any rules because the other rules said
we couldn't drill in the Golf.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
Of Mexico and that doesn't exist.

Speaker 6 (01:07:33):
Not in our eyes anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
According to Google Maps, it doesn't exist. Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:07:38):
Unless you live in Mexico, then it's still the Golf
of Mexico.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
Or if you live in Cuba, which they probably don't
have Google anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:07:47):
Well, and like Elgrim was talking about the twenty four
hour news cycle and how quick it's going with everything
that's happening right now. Listen, I wake up in the morning,
first thing I do I look at my phone. And
the things that happen overnight when you sleep, what six hours,
seven hours.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
If you're lucky, Yeah, if I'm lucky.

Speaker 5 (01:08:07):
Yeah, it's it is hard to stay on top of
absolutely every single thing that's happening because it is moving
at warp speed. It truly is. It's just I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:08:21):
And I will say this Yesterday a lot of the
talk shows that I had flipped through while working my
other job and driving around. Clay and Buck and Hannity,
they were just gushing over the Press Secretary.

Speaker 5 (01:08:39):
Oh I love it, Yeah, Caroline love Oh she was.

Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
They were gushing and the comparisons to KGP and how
like KGP compared to this chick as a doorstop as
far as when it comes to intelligence.

Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
While she wasn't rolling her eyes, she wasn't snarky KJP.

Speaker 6 (01:08:59):
It was all on the defensive. You couldn't say anything
to her without her getting defensive about it.

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
Yeah. In her defense, though, could you imagine trying to
get up there day in and day out and lie, yes,
and try and defend that administration. So I will, I
will stand up for her on that, yet.

Speaker 6 (01:09:20):
Give her a little pass, yeah, because when you're dealing
with crap, you know, it's hard to make. It's hard
to make a birthday cake out of crap.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
Yeah, spin that in the gold right right, So yeah,
we'll give her a little leeway on that. But yeah,
Caroline Levitt is quite impressive for twenty seven year old.
All right, let's do it. One hundred sixty two four
eleven seventy pair of tickets.

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
No, oh yeah, pair of tickets. I'm sorry now you
got me.

Speaker 5 (01:09:46):
