Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is six oh six, and it is four days till
vacation ross marked the advent calendar. Okay, all right, yeah,
we're gonna be gone all next week, and I'm making
a point to say it every day, so inevitably, when
you write me going you never said anything, you will
be wrong and I will be right. Okay, good, good, good.

(00:21):
Now a thought exercise, shall we? I want you to
pretend it's May nineteen forty. Okay, nineteenth May nineteen forty.
May nineteen forty was a very interesting time because it
completely dispelled us of the idea the Neville Chamberlain outlook. Okay,

(00:49):
and that was if Hitler just gets sued, Dayton gets
the Rhineland, there's a couple of other things. He'll be fine,
everything's fine, nothing to see here. But by May of
nineteen forty, Hitler took France and marched into Paris, right,
and at that point they're just like all right. And

(01:11):
then the Polish stuff was already happening, and it was
wildly out of control by then. But you knew what
was up. You called it early, You pounded the table
with your rightness, and just how smart you were during
the Night of Long Knives, during the aggression into Poland

(01:34):
into ordering the essentially the forest areas of France blockaded
and partially occupied. Everyone knew what was coming up eventually,
and you're right, You're just you say you're right, and
you would say that you're absolutely correct. Everything's panning out

(01:54):
how you thought you knew who he was, and you
shout to the world and you tell everyone, and then
he captures France in this little scenario. What do you do?
What do you do if you've been right all this
time and everyone should just believe you, and look at
look at these actions that prove this thing exactly as

(02:16):
I say they are. Well, you do what Morning Joe did,
and you go to the eagles and s by the
sea as his own television show has labeled it that
it would be mar A Lago And apparently apparently you
beg beg friendship of him. Oh yeah, yeah, this is

(02:38):
the thing that's going on. Let's check in real quick
with Mourning Joe and and how you how you remember
Morning Joe really most recently.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
And then he says that the news network that that
is most critical of him should be taken off the air.
This is not a reach. I could go back and
talk about Nazi Germany, and I do it. I do
it without any concerns whatsoever. And if people can't start
drawing the parallels, well you're just stupid, or you have
your head in the sand, or you're one of them.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, all right, I just wanted I wanted to be
clear he's used the Nazi rhetoric and it was Eli
mystical or whatever that that weird with the weird hair.
That's the guy who did the ego's Nest by the
Sea quote, while these two vapid idiots just boo yeah,
kind of fits. Well, some's changed And I just want

(03:31):
to know why you went to h went and had
dinner with Hitler man. What's up with them?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
The past week, Joe and I have heard from so
many people, from political leaders to regular citizens, deeply dismayed
by several of President Elect Trump's cabinet selections, and they
are scared. Last Thursday, we expressed our own concerns on
this broadcast and even said we would appreciate the opportunity
to speak with the President elect himself. On Friday, we

(03:59):
were given the opportunity to do just that. Joe and
I went to mar A Lago to meet personally with
President elect Trump. It was the first time we have
seen him in seven years now.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
We talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation,
threats of political retribution against political opponents, and media outlets.
We talked about that a good bit.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Good for you. Why is he carving out a minute
to meet with you other than and correct me if Ross,
what do you think of this? I think Trump's doing
it because it's a struggle session for him, because of
the fact. Do you remember when he first started running

(04:45):
these Nitwitz would have him on the show every morning.
He was calling into Morning Joe at the same rate
he was calling into Fox and Friends back in you know,
back when he first announced he was running Why because
they were friends, they were more than friends. Is This

(05:06):
is something a lot of people don't remember, and probably
was pretty influential in how this relationship evolved. There was
a moment where apparently, and I don't know how serious
it was, there was a moment where that idiot referring

(05:31):
to Joe thought he was a contender for vice president
with Trump. You guys, I don't know if you remember this,
just for a moment, and then it became abundantly clear.
There was no way he was going to be the
vice presidential nomination, and then Trump wasn't on the show anymore,

(05:54):
Just to show you how self serving these people are.
So now the media landscape is in a tailspin. This
is just reactionary to what's going on. The what's her bucket?
The suppose what are the supposed conservative the Ferret Fara
Griffith or whatever on the view Right, who then was like,

(06:15):
I'm conservative, but but all my thoughts are liberal. She
was talking yesterday about how she might switch back. Well,
why does that only come after we hear the view
might try to get quote more conservative voices on there.
CNN's about to do a reckoning, they've already started the process,

(06:37):
and MSNBC is going to be there as well. How
do you maintain your relevancy if those in charge are
rethinking the way that you're doing business, which apparently isn't
appealing to people they I saw a stat yesterday that morning, Joe.
Outside of its initial run, they rerun one of the
hours and at one time all right, no, I'm sorry,

(07:02):
this is the this is the combined cube for the
entire hour. So this is dug in in the details,
it's the sample. It into quarter hours and then it's
a whole thing. But he had twenty eight thousand viewers
for a flagship national show. This is post election, This

(07:23):
is last last week and the last week. I think
the numbers are for I'll call him up Thursday or Friday,
one of the two days. Twenty eight thousand. You know
who has more than twenty eight thousand me us, Yeah,
believe it or not, there's enough gullible people in the

(07:44):
state of North Carolina to exceed that number, because that's
the other thing that Morning Shoe has said, if you
listen to talk radio, it's for the gullible. So and
now he's down. Now he's down at the he's down
at Hitler's Mountain Retreat or in this case, ocean retwreat

(08:07):
retreat to hang with him. Absolutely just spineless, just some
of the most spineless stuff out there.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
That's gonna come as no surprise to anybody who watches
this show, has watched it over the past year or
over the past decade, that we didn't see eye to
eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
What we did agree on was to restar our communications.
My father often spoke with world leaders with whom he
in the United States profoundly disagreed. That's a task shared
by reporters and commentators alike. We had not spoken to
President Trump since March of twenty twenty, other than a

(08:50):
personal call Joe made to Trump on the morning after
the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's the scummier thing right now there. Man, Do you
think for a moment that Donald Trump, after he just
got shot, wants to talk to Morning Joe undeniably a
contributor to the very rhetoric we just played it for

(09:18):
you that a lot of people think may have infected
this dude's brain. And he calls him, he's like, oh
that sucks. Man. Look, you made a decision, You have
a position. Doesn't mean you can be unyielding. But there's
no impetus for this. Arguably maybe the assassination was. But

(09:42):
if you'd tempered your comments after that, doing some self reflection,
I'd have a lot of more respect for your position here.
But that Hitler cut, that Hitler cut is standard their
morning show. And you have the audacity to fly down
there and just be like, Hey, remember us, remember what
we used to be friends, because they did. They used

(10:02):
to be friends, and then they decided for their own
career advance. But that's what they were going to do.
Now some people would point a Trump to go, well,
that's what he did during the primaries, you know, went
after cruises, Dad, little Marco, all the rest of this stuff.
And now he's now he's working with him. If you
see those situations, the same fine morning, Joe has spent

(10:24):
the last eight years calling this dude hitler, calling him Hitler,
and then he went and is, uh, what did you
ask me? Ross? Oh, if they went, how did they
why did they get They were not on a secret
mission to destroy it?

Speaker 4 (10:42):
No, no, no, no. It was an a at the end
of Band of Brothers where like they're like, you know, hey,
we're victorious. Let's drink all his wine. Was it like that?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I see I see the concrete here. Yeah, that is
a great scene, isn't it. They're just there because these
guys have basically been living off nothing, just fighting, right,
you know, they're just like, ah, we got a wine cellar.
Was amazing. No, do you remember the party that's going
on in Dirty Dozen?

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, okay, sure, yeah, they're at that party. Yeah, they're
at that party though, Well that's different. It is. Yeah, No,
that's that's that's what they wanted to do. They want
to they want to conquer it and drink the spoils.
They just be ah, look I have an invite. So yeah,
that's what you did. You went to the You went
to the Mountain Party right before the Dirty Dozen comes

(11:25):
flying through there. Spoiler not everyone makes it so, but hey,
they were given an opportunity and for their true selves emerge.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
In this meeting. President Trump was tearful, he was upbeat.
He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on
some of the most divisive issues. And for those asking
why we would go speak to the president elect during
such fraught times, especially between US, I guess I would
ask back, why wouldn't we? Five years of political warfare

(12:00):
has deeply divided Washington in the country, we have been
as clear as we know how in expressing our deep
concerns about President Trump's actions and words in the coursening
of public debate. But for eighty million Americans, election denialism
public trials in January sixth were not as important as

(12:22):
the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back
to the White House with their vote.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
This is still and you notice that's still a she's
not recognizing the problem. She's just like everything we said
is legit and you didn't listen. So we'll do this
other thing, never stopping for a moment ago. I don't know,
maybe maybe saying that this is the greatest what was

(12:49):
the greatest attack on America since the Civil War? I
think maybe he could come off that position because there's
some some people. There are people still alive today, believe
it or not, myself included, who were around for nine
to eleven. Yeah, we still still walk the earth for

(13:09):
a little time. So Ross, I believe you were alive
during nine to eleven, weren't you? So that's like two
of us. Yeah. So when we hear all this stuff
and now you're still not correcting yourself and whatever this is.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Pounds sand Lady Joe, and I realize it's time to
do something different, and that starts with not only talking
about Donald Trump, but also talking with him.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Right, okay, all right, so anyway, all right, let me
let me not be cynical on this. Maybe this is
the alive branch of diplomacy and people, you know, and
maybe in some leftist circles, those who actually watch Morning Joe,
not just for lulls. Maybe they go, you know what,

(13:55):
maybe I'm maybe I'm being a little harsh here at
the very at least, maybe I should hear what he
has to say, or at least try to understand all
aspects of the story.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
In fact, Ross, you checked over on Blue Sky. Right,
Let's see how it's going over there on Blue Sky
because of this.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, so they're not dealing with it well
over at liberal echo chamber.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Did I think the trolls are going over there too?

Speaker 4 (14:29):
I mean that's a shame. What do you mean that
they're leaving Twitter and acts and they're hanging out over there, and.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Then the trolls are following. Yeah, they can just they're
like testing hashtags over there. They're like, so yesterday they
want to see how long two genders would last. What
was it about thirty seconds? Wade about thirty seconds? So
uh yeah, so you may get rid. Now here's the thing.
I don't want red of the lunatics. I want my
job made easy. Leave them on the Twitter, leave them

(14:59):
or I can see him crying because they went on
a dating app for a random hookup with some dude
who they don't even know, and they were cool with
all of that. They probably would have been cool without
knowing his name, but as soon as they found out
who he voted for, she got the super case of
the IX and started made a video bawling like I
don't want to lose that. Don't take that away from me.

(15:24):
But if they're going to leave to go over there,
and then the trolls are going to go over to
follow for a little while and it all gets reported
back to like libs of Blue Sky, which is a
Twitter account I couldn't follow fast enough over the weekend.
Then I'm good on all this stuff. And morning Joe
and them going over and literally going to Hitler's house. Right,

(15:52):
you're the people at the Dirty Dozen part, you know what,
You're the people with the good seats at the movie
you know which movie theater I'm referring to. All Right,
we'll be back. You think about that, Well, what's your
I do not understand what your problem.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Kyle Wilson, you know news talking about how they're still
counting votes in Northampton County, and I just, yeah, I
was impossible, because like it's very big, it is very big.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, you drive from you know, Jackson to Gaston to
trying to remember other towns in Northampton case, it's very big.
It's a you know, you gotta saddle the horse, take
your ballad over there. Yeah, dude, there's some there's some crazy,

(16:38):
uh crazy long vote counting going on. Yeah, and they're
flipping races in some places. And you know, I don't
let it leave the don't let it leave the conscious
of of everyone. What happened in New in New Hanover County, Like,

(16:59):
I think it's somebody may have done something illegal with
them just stopping counting votes, which is a thing that
we've seen now, and whether it was intentional or not intentional,
like they didn't know that they couldn't stop. And I'm
still trying to fully understand what's going on there, but
I do plan on once things kind of settle where

(17:23):
they are, because it doesn't look like they're going to
flip anything in there, then maybe I'll try to find
somebody who's smart enough to explain it to me, because
that's a mess. And yes, in Northampton County in California,
they had a race that's going to flip a red
seat for the first time. In forever and the person

(17:43):
was winning, winning, winning, and then just the other day
they found some ballots and now the other person, the Democrats,
winning by I think thirty one votes, who then immediately
goes on into Claire's victory even though they're still quote
unquote counting, goes on into Claire's victory and people will
putish and back are being labeled election deniers. So I

(18:05):
don't know, man, but it'll be interesting to see if
this all this stuff is still on the radar when
January twentieth rolls around, Because what the hell, man, By
the way, the population of Northampton County wouldn't fill a
smidgeon of the wolf Pack football stadium when Carter Carter

(18:30):
Finley the entire population wide of the NC state football
they have sixteen thousand, seven hundred people there. U Because,
like you said, I've spent a fair amount of time
there and it's just like there's not much there and
it's not an insult to the people or anything like
it's a rural county. We had a bunch of them

(18:51):
in North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, like you said, you had Jackson and then you
got what is it like rich Skar or rapids right
up there. There's nothing there.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Man, is Richland's in there? Yeah? Maybe I don't know that.
Maybe a little further far south, but yeah, yeah, there's
not much there. Again, not an insult. It's a rural county.
We got a bunch of them. What's up? What's going on?
I think Gaston would have to be the largest community there.
Spent some time up in that direction. So what what

(19:23):
what are we doing? Are you dealing? Are we dealing
with counties that are just not prepared to prosecute their
task so to speak, or what you know. One of
the one of the more interesting conversations that I, uh
have had the privilege of having is when I first
started here. So I mean, we're going back. This would

(19:47):
be probably before we added Greensboro, because we launched these
two Raleigh in Greensboro stations simultaneously. But initially in Greensboro
they had they had two other hosts. They had Bill Flynn,
who was a staple of the triad good Dude, and
they had a guy they brought in from Pennsylvania by

(20:08):
the name of Dmitri Vassileros. And I remember working with
Dmitri just kind of going, you know, because he was
new to North Carolina. Hears some of the stuff we're
doing and and you know, for whatever reason, that didn't work.
And then this show. So this would have been prior
to that this, I would have been so wet behind
the ears. And I got the station wanted me to

(20:31):
go to a luncheon, and so I'd show up at
this lunch and and we got reserve seating. It's at
the Cardinal Club, which was in the Wells Fargo Tower.
They have like a supper club thing up there is
the Cardinal that one well whatever. So I go in
there and I recognize a lot of different people, even

(20:52):
though I am fresh to North Carolina. I recognize a
couple of members of Congress and then they they sit
me at a table and they introduced me to who
I'm sitting next to, and it was former North Carolina
Republican Governor James Holshauser. Holshauser probably mispronounce it. And we

(21:13):
just we just got to talking right, tell me about
North Carolina. And the dude was he was so nice,
like sitting there and he you could tell he really
loved telling me stuff about North Carolina. And then I
you know, we're talking about election stuff and all that,
and he's telling me about how it used to be
with elections in North Carolina. We're like ballots bucket, you know,

(21:35):
piles of ballots would end up in people's barns, and
then the barnes would accidentally catch fire. Ross. Don't you
hate that when you're in charge of storing ballots in
your in your barn you don't care about anymore, and
it just accidentally catches fire the ballots from a part
of the place you weren't going.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
To get it is bad, But where are you supposed
to keep them? Where else are you gonna be?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
And if not, the uh, the tender kindling that is
your barn. No, it's absolutely like he's not saying he
did that. He's just like, you have no idea how
crazy it was at one time. And remember he served
in what he served in the seventies. So I'm talking
to this guy thirty years removed from office. But I'm

(22:16):
just like, that's crazy, man.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
I want to correct myself, I said, richly. I met
rich Square, which is right down the street from Jackson.
Oh it's been like twenty years, so yeah, no, no, no, no,
I'm trying to just off memory. But I looked it
up to correct myself because he's driving me nuts. Population
at the moment, oh eight hundred and ninety four people.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
That's the line for beer at Carter Findley Stadium. They
can manage that. I'm sorry, I'm just using that as
my point of reference because it's the stadium I've spent
the most time in the in the state. So by
if NC State can facilitate seating a third of their
stadium or I guess I'm trying to think with the
capacity is that's probably about it. A third of their stadium.

(22:58):
You can't handle getting ballots in two weeks, dude, And
if you think that's inefficient, we're gonna find we hopefully
will find out things today. Although wait to hear who's
on the schedule for the FEMA oversight hearing thing that's

(23:19):
happening up in DC today. I know all the pub's
going to be the FEMA director Chiswell or Chizwell or whatever,
and that's great, but there's also a couple members of
Congress on there, and I cannot understand why one of
them is on there except to come in and essentially

(23:41):
argue that everything's fine. But everything's not fine. And anyone
who spends a minute on Twitter or perhaps just maybe
on Facebook, you might see it for they take it down,
knows that it's not fine, And I will give you
some exams of that. A key one is I saw

(24:04):
a dude who was filming a video's standing in downtown Swannanoah,
which if you've ever been there, the reason you go
to Swananoah is vacation. They got cool shops, there's some
great restaurants. There's about seventy two thousand amazing golf courses
just in that vicinity. Really a jewel of what North
Carolina offers that I don't think everybody's really keyed in

(24:27):
on yet. And I'm also kind of okay with that, okay, right,
because you see what happens to blowing rock when the
leaves do their thing. Ashville can just be insane at times,
you know, but a good insane. You know, up there
in Boon it gets a little crazy, But you know,
Swananoa and the areas around it, there's some really cool
spots there, and there's money. There's clearly money in the

(24:50):
area if you've ever been there, which is why you've
got seventy two thousand amazing golf courses. Some some really
awesome hotels, resort and it's it's just really great stuff.
But it's but it's not what it is right now.
As the guy spins around, it looks like it looks

(25:12):
it looks like a campground. It looks like you you know,
you're down at one of the big beach campgrounds. You're
up at Price, uh near Blowing Rock there where I
like to camp. But do you want to camp on
the lakeside? FYI? Or if you know you know it's
because there's people living in tents in I want to

(25:33):
know living intents. Speaking of Kyle in News, he had
a report of portions of the western North Carolina don't
have who still don't have access to fresh or clean
drinking water. I mean they have access to bottled water
that's being shipped in, but like then you got to
brush your teeth with that or you got to boil

(25:55):
the other stuff. Eight weeks we're eight weeks. I know
people who take parts of their lives, little slices of
their lives, stop what they're doing and feel so passionately
about what Christ has called them to do or what

(26:16):
their conscious has called them to do. If it's not
one of the religious groups to go to the places
in the world that you and I don't want to
go to. Well, I strangely do want to go to
because I'm weird like that, but you know what I mean.
And they go there and they take a week out
of their life and they go and they go to
some place where they don't have water. And it's not

(26:37):
because a hurricane went through. It's because just society, just
the current everything has not caught up to them yet.
They don't have the financial resources. And these cats can
go in and get you a functional well in a week.
They're gone a week they build one, they build other infrastructure.

(26:58):
I have sat. I have been in a dated with
photos from some of my friend's trips showing what they're doing.
It's really cool stuff. And they do it through their church,
or they do it through a charitable EID organization or
I don't know. They've just seen some stuff and noms
stuck around and now they give snake tours for whatever reason,
they're there in the middle of it and they're able

(27:20):
to accomplish things. Oh and they drive a boat and
they're able to accomplish things quickly. Now is a lot
of it. Perhaps probably they because I don't know that.
Can you just go tap a well? I'm not sure
what the aquifers would be like like. There's a lot
of complexity to this. As somebody who grew up on

(27:41):
a well and we have multiple wells, there is a
complexity to this. But how do we have people in
the US eight weeks later that don't have access to
drinking water? What are we doing? Where is the two
hundred and forty million gone, which is I believe roughly

(28:03):
the dollar amount that's been expended thus far. Why are
we seeing reports that the main aid organization is saying
they're out of money. Why is that happening? Why are
folks in the West whose representatives were supposed to essentially
add their name to a list so that these various

(28:25):
projects can get immediately fund at, Why were they derelict
and doing it which appears to be the case. And
why why, oh why at the oversight hearing today, which
until proven otherwise, I'm assuming is just going to be theater.
Why are we having the FEMA director testify, Chuck Edwards,

(28:47):
the congressman who represents the fourteenth district in North Carolina, testify. Okay,
those two makes sense, right? The head of FEMA is
being accused of ignoring people with Trump signs, but they
sure as how better ask about this other stuff. And
by the way, also have you seen some of the
videos of some of the construction work. I'm not here

(29:08):
to pick out on individual companies. I don't know what
they're tasked with, and I understand there's a bunch of
companies who haven't been paid yet. But if they're doing
substandard work that likely won't pass inspection, then why are
we doing it? The sheer absurdity of it is only
capped by the third witness. I will tell you who

(29:29):
that is. You will know this person, and you too
will be wondering why on God's green earth this woman
is being allowed to testify, except I'm assuming other than
to deflect from the bad which then it's just the
scummiest thing I've ever heard of. If that is the
focus of her testimony, I'll let you decide what you

(29:52):
think is going to happen next and tell you who
it is. Hang on, could I lie or did I
not lie? In the reports I was sharing there based
on what he was gonna say, not like not like yeah,
they say this, dude, what are we doing Jamal, what's up, hey, Kasee,
what's going on this morning?

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Of course, Hayes, the sheriff, say, see, I used to
live in Conway, North Carolina, which is Northampton count I
used to work in a place called Produce Chicken and
Farms and Lewiston where in Lewiston Woodville. Okay, there is
no way they should still be town in Northampton. Townt
no way. And the Democrats have been pulling this crowd

(30:36):
not just in North Carolina but in Pennsylvania, California. It's
like everything we said what happened is happening. People are
sitting here letting them recount recount, recout where the Republicans
in North Carolina? And I know they listened to your
show because doing the town for them to run for election.

(30:59):
Office always allow people to call Nate j C from
both of us, so Republicans do it. So why but
we heard from Law and Berger about what is going
on with female and especially what is going on.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I will say this the FEMA stuff. They are having
a hearing on that. I don't know that that satisfies you,
but they are going to be having a hearing within
the North Carolina General Assembly. In fact, I should have
that in front of me. I was talking about the
national one today. But to your point, because they don't
really have oversight on Northampton's elections that goes through this

(31:41):
elections board which Roy Cooper threw the person who was
bipartisan favored off put his own lady on there. And
I mean, that's what's going on here, Jamal. I appreciate
the call this morning. That's that's where we're getting. But
to show you how not serious they are, I mentioned
that there is a third there's a third person who's

(32:03):
going to be a part of the I think panel
one for this oversight stuff today. Okay, so you've got
the FEMA director, right, that's the main that's the main act.
And then you got Chuck Edwards, who represents fourteenth district,
which is western North Carolina. That seems like an appropriate

(32:23):
member of Congress to testify. But it's the third one,
likely the one who was attached by the ranking members
the Democrats in this case, and so they wanted somebody
from North Carolina. I'm assuming to push back on the
bad stuff. And so Deborah Ross, I just want to

(32:44):
remind you, if you don't really know the outline of
Deborah Ross's district. Do you know where Wake County is?
So remember I told you I was the libs of
Blue Sky count jumped right on that bad boy. And
that's so you can keep an eye on what's going
over there, going on over there without actually having to
dip your You don't want to be called into the

(33:05):
eventual hearings, all right, So this is uh, they're running
into a little problem. So you know, when you report
something in social media, like like on Twitter, I'll report.
If somebody comes in and it's like they're trying to
crypto scam comment, I may delete it and then this
click report right, and you know it's ninety nine percent automated.

(33:26):
Over a Blue Sky they do things a little different.
I believe that when it comes to the complaints, they're
having humans review this stuff. But the problem is, you
just saw an immeasurable growth of your of your website
post election. Right you're the parlor of the election cycle,
and so you have journalists, entire news outlets, your neighbor

(33:51):
down the street. You just can't deal. Even though they
have that sign welcoming everybody all the time, and so
they're all over there and they're in this eco and yeah,
trolls have gone over as well, but you're also dealing
with people who are an immovable object on things. So
if somebody has a slight dissenting opinion, it's game. On

(34:13):
some of the stuff I'm watching where it's clearly two
people vote all for the same people who are in
blood feuds over a minor detail. It has to be
so emotionally taxing. So what do people in that situation
do They call the manager. We've got to call the manager.
And so they're running into this problem. Here is from

(34:35):
Blue Sky's own safety. They're going to have to do
some about the stupid ats on this thing. These are
the dumbest, So right that I have to use a
a like a full web address as a screen name.
That's just stupid. But whatever, all right, In the past

(34:55):
twenty four hours, we have received more than forty two
thousand reports, an all time high for one day. To
put in perspective, while we're currently receiving about three thousand
reports an hour, in all of twenty twenty three, we
receive just three hundred and sixty thousand reports, So, as
you can imagine, they have exponentially increased the number of

(35:18):
people who were like I don't like this, and then
they report it. Now some of the stuff. It's kind
of obvious why because the final paragraph of this tweet reads,
we're triaging the large queue, so the most harmful content,
primarily seesam, is removed quickly. Do you know what sea

(35:39):
sam is? Child porn? Kids? It's child sexual assault. It's
the most heinous stuff you can think of, and it
apparently now is it trolls doing it? I probably some
of it is. But also you got like minor attracted

(36:01):
person discussions. They're shown as examples here where not the photos,
but you know the text of of what's you know,
the explainer on this stuff you have you may have
now seized your your ability to properly administer your site
because your target market are constant complainers. Plus you want

(36:26):
to do it in this weird, labor intensive way, which
if you can handle it, I guess I respect it
because we know that the automated stuff, which is a
lot of times the algorithm is clearly manipulated right where
it buries one side and not the other. But like,
is this going to be a problem over there with

(36:47):
the kiddy stuff? And how do you how do you
mitigate that? And also, how do you just deal with
everybody upset every day because somebody said their favorite color
is blue and there's this green then they can't stand
for that. What a delicious problem you've created for yourself.
And I could not be happier for you, all right,

(37:09):
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven fours.
So yeah, just a reminder if you tune into the hearing,
which I believe is what ten o'clock today, it's ten o'clock,
you're going to see the FEMA director, who, by the way,
is on record admitting that the thing with the fired
employee happened, but not the accusation that it is standard

(37:33):
operating procedure in the same way you would treated a
yard with aggressive dogs, which is an absurd comparison. And
I swear to God if the members that who's on
that committee from North Carolina is Virginia, I think Virginia
Fox is on oversight, isn't she? Because there's two committees
that they're gonna be talking to and h Rouser is

(37:56):
on transportation. I think they're going to be talking to them.
Uh fouchet, She's right, Well, she represents what Durham. So
again it's I don't want to hear from Dan Bishop. Okay,
I don't want to I don't want to hear from Fouchet.
I don't want to hear from Devora Ross. The fact
that she's getting brought in there smells to me like

(38:18):
she's going to downplay potential problems, which what an ugly task,
but without fear of having to hurt her congressional seat
because she's in Wake County. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong,
I will tell you exactly. Oh jeez, we're doing this already. Ah,

(38:42):
we're doing this already. That's way in there too. I'm
sorry Ross has sent me. So we're launching the missiles now,
World War three, we're starting that today.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Yeah, I'm going to send you the story this saw
Daily Mail.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Geez, all right, November nineteenth, twenty twenty four. I'm not
being overly dramatic here. It doesn't matter who you are.
You have to recognize that the US providing long range
missiles and then going you know what, I'm going to
run to the bathroom real quick. No, no, no, they

(39:21):
didn't even do that. They openly gave permission a lot
of times they'll do the thing where it's like, oh,
there's some confusion and what they could do, but you
still get it done. Now they're open with it, and
now the uk is going to have to fall in
line and others are going to have to fall in
line here, They're not going to have any other choice.
And so now you have a much more aggressive formation

(39:45):
of this situation where they're firing and don't get me wrong,
Russia's fire and missiles into populated areas of Ukraine. I understand,
but like this needs to be part of a bigger process.
And we got Anthony blink and say that they're you know,
they're checking all the pockets in Congress's laundry and any

(40:06):
money they find they're going to send over there. Meanwhile,
people are living in Swannanoa intents and don't have clean
drinking water in eight weeks and Debora Ross is going
to go testify about what about what how much her
house didn't flood in Raleigh. If you guys, bastardize this

(40:31):
and any member of any person from North Carolina is
involved in the twisting of attempting to save face here
on this thing, they should be banished from the state.
Just just do me a favor. In human today, I
don't know what you're gonna say, ma'am. And I will
say this, she did come on this radio show once

(40:53):
and we had I was not disrespectful to her, and
she was an absolute speaking say the whole time she
was on the air. It was it was eerily and
maybe that's because it was early on in her congressional endeavors,
but she obviously wasn't new to public speaking, and it

(41:14):
was just a weird interview. And so when you have
somebody like that is really good, it's spitting out talking points.
That's why I'm suspicious of why she's there, because they know.
I looked at the official house descriptor and it simply
lists her credentials as the congresswoman from the second district.

(41:36):
What an absolute mess, man, What an absolute mess? All right,
few things, Well, let me do this. We'll go ahead
and hit a break when we come back. Where did
I put this? We got a Disney incident. We have
a lunatic who you're going to be shocked to learn
who just stabbed and killed I think that another person died,

(41:57):
killed three people just randomly New York City, just like, hey,
you know what, look at the weather today. It's a
great day for a stabbing or three or five or
whatever the actual number of victims three now deceased. Believe
it or not. Believe it or not. This dude, he

(42:19):
was known to law enforcement. I know that's crazy, and
not just law enforcement, also prosecutors and others. And you're
not going to believe what his last seven days before
this looked like. And you might have some questions, so
we'll bring up to speed on that coming to up
here on the CaCO Day radio program, Frost, do you

(42:41):
know one of the most viral videos over on Blue
Sky right now is a woman bragging about her abortion,
referring to her fetus as Jeffrey Epstein. Got a lot
of likes see the joke because the Jeffrey didn't kill himself.
But hey, you know pop up over Ben Dreyfus, Yes,

(43:01):
that Dreyfus, but the son of as you know, he's
been one of the more outspoken people in Hollywood on
the left, willing to put it out there and just
be like, this is insane. So he went over there
and he put together a big thread post. Have you
noticed that Twitter is now listicals and I understand that

(43:24):
there is going to be changes because of the monetization.
But now when you're scrolling, how many threads are essentially
Wikipedia pages put into a Twitter because that's what's happening
because they realize that that's how you that's the best
way to monetize, because now you got people not just
for one tweet at a time, but if they're interested

(43:45):
in what it is. And look, I don't begrudge it.
I don't like it. That's not why I use Twitter,
as weird as it sounds, and maybe I'll adapt how
I use it. Right, I don't need a thread on everything.
There are threads that make sense. Where it's the President's
State of the Union last night, here's the thread of
those moments, right, those make sense. And selfishly, they're very

(44:08):
hopeful for Ross and I to get audio real quick,
right because it's kind of pre edited and then we
don't have to cut it down for the main thing.
But if you scroll it right now, let me just
let me just hit my timeline and see what's on there.
It's turned into this other thing and I'm just not
inclined to click on it.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
Most It's been that way for a while. And you
can tell that you know these accounts who do this.
It's this all written by chat gpt.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Right exactly. They go to a Wikipedia article and they
have it summarized and then they cut. Look, it's it's
from a business model standpoint. You can almost automate it.
But they go and like, cause you can go on Wikipedia.
People don't realize this is it Wiki simple. There's a
there's a command you can add to the to the
lineup top where it will show you a simplified version

(44:55):
of it. Well, chat gpt will also do it all
on its own. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Grock will do it too. If you go to groc
and you put you know, you copy an article and
paste it into grock.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Onto you you're like, what the hell is going on here?

Speaker 4 (45:06):
You summarize this and like in like you know, two
point two seconds less than that. Boom, here's a quick
summary of the article.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Now you cut it into separate you know, tweet size bites,
create a thread, throw in some pictures and it looks
like you put an immense amount of work into a thread,
but you didn't. And and really you just kind of
used you use the AI or you used other people's
stuff there, and it's it's lazy content. But it's just

(45:34):
the Twitter version of the same lazy content you see
on YouTube, Like how many of you have ever clicked
I can't remember the name of the one YouTube channel
where it's like the ten funniest SNL moments, right, and
you think what you're going to get is you're going
to get ten thirty second clips or whatever of SNL
and it's not. It's uh, what is it mojo or whatever?

(45:57):
That one that's I don't know how that one does.
Every time I I've seen one of theirs, I don't
click on it because I realize and I understand why
they're never going to play the thing that they're promising
to play, because they would get copyrighted because NBC is
very aggressive, and I understand that. So they have to
do it in the way where there's no sound. They
might have some visual for a half second, but they
move on. Well, what usefulness is there in my life

(46:21):
for that? In the same way that I'm here, we uh,
look at it, damn it. Go back to the for you.
One person is taking down an entire YouTube industry. Let's
get Tony zach Choi, the ASMR king who sparked a
wave of copyright strikes. All right, and then it's a
ten you know, follow the thread. Here's you know, ten

(46:43):
tweets and then people go look at it. Well, the story.
I don't have to click on it because I know
the story they're talking about. It's a very simple story.
This guy makes the weird uh you know, really high
reds slow, like you make sandwiches that look delicious, you
know that kind of stuff, right, And if you look
at a lot of reddits, you know where people read

(47:03):
Reddit stories, the visuals they use in the background are
a lot of this guy's stuff. And he was fine
with it until some other creator had the audacity to
flag his content that he shoots with his own camera.
So he went copyright strike on everybody. And so all
of these channels whose libraries include this stuff, they're all

(47:25):
getting their videos demonetized. But it's because the people who
made those videos were too lazy to come up with
their own stuff. They took stuff from Reddit, laid it
over video. This guy had created rinse and repeat, and
that's what you're seeing on a lot of this stuff.
And I just seem it's deep irony that there's an
article that's essentially that. And I do see that people

(47:48):
are calling out some of these lists where they're going, hey,
this is actually such and such as article, and then
it'll be the number one common and they'll try to
community noted. But anyway, when in reality, maybe a good
use of their time would be to cover this stabber
in New York City. Guys got two knives just walking
through Manhattan broad daylight, just stabbing people. These vice squad

(48:12):
long long time investigations in gentlemen's clubs, right like, we
spent six months undercover over at the men's club and
try to see if any of the girls do anything extra,
sell us any drugs. And then after six months we're like, well,
let's get another six months, and then they'll have some
crazy busts. And it's like, you guys have spent a

(48:33):
year going to the strip club every day. I mean,
nice work if you can get it, all right. So
I don't know if that's what's up here. But shockingly,
a man in Florida, Oh do I have the bed out?
I don't know that I need the bed for this one.
All right? What the hell it's right here.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
Florida?

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Then, Florida man, is something in the waderty errors hand
that they should do all.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
That crazy crap. It's like the state is one to
be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida Man.
It is almost like as the Weird Factor climbs and
you find out it haven't in Florida. Every time Florida Man,
Florida Man.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
If anyone can jeer me if you know you can
just mind life be crazy.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
But of course, but it's not. It's pat crap crazy
as yours. Nowhere else are you.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Gonna find him? They're so used to it they don't
find him.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
Hooray for Florida.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
Man, who is not an attorney but definitely is thinking
like one. So I'm gonna need a legal ruling on
this when I lay it out. Ross. You haven't heard
this story, so you get to be the judge. Okay.
Twenty seven year old Pennsylvania man, his name is Mohammad
Abdul Ali Baba is in He's in Florida. So that's

(50:00):
why we got the Florida Man song. Even though he
lives in Pennsylvania, he's been Florida tized, and he makes
the really good decision that many other people have made
to go to a gentleman's club at one thirty in
the morning and then about two forty five in the morning.
He goes to leave, but as he's leaving, security stops him.

(50:23):
And they stop him because according to the club, he
had received a lap dance, which goes for the lolo
price of forty dollars. Dude, inflation has hit everything. Man
goes for the lo lo price of forty dollars, but
he didn't pay. And then he's like, oh, look I

(50:43):
gotta go. Well, obviously the dancer, she's that's gonna be
a problem for her and the club. And it just
so happened there happened to be a law enforcement officer there,
so who is said to have witnessed part of the nonpayer.
But here is his case as he's played it. Prove it.

(51:04):
How do you prove he received this good or service
when he says he didn't. And unfortunately what he forgot
is that it's really they're going to it's Florida, they're
going to arrest you. And so they did, and he
had some warrants and stuff like that. But it's a
unique thing, like how do you prove you just got
a lap dance? Now? I probably got video back there,

(51:28):
but I don't know. He thought he had a winner
and Unfortunately, it looks like the judge has well, let's see,
he gave him forty dollars bond, which was the price
of it. But now he's banned from the club and
a few other things. So all right, oh that's weird.

(51:50):
So the reason he's down there is he actually is
a graduate student at Alvernia, which is a Francis In
college that has a branch down in Florida. I don't
know what's going on there, man, that's probably gonna be
a bigger problem for him. All right, speaking of in
this case, much more violent criminals. So up in up

(52:14):
in New York, what do you have? He got this
dude running around stabbing people, fifty one year old identified
by sources as the culprit there. Ironically, he just got
out of the clink, man, that's right. He was released
from jail October seventeenth. He had been arrested as part

(52:36):
of a spate of burglaries and assaults. So he's just
randomly running around stealing stuff, breaking into stuff, assaulting people.
You know, all the crimes that under the whole broken
windows concept, right, which were those escalator crimes where this
is where you really start drilling into people when they're
repetitive with these smaller crimes, although I would argue physically

(52:56):
assaulting people is a significant escalation. But you know nuisance
stuff like breaking windows, or you break a window because
you see some on the other side, a quick little
snatch and grab, you run, You go into a store,
steal a couple of things, run out of there. These
were the crimes that initially were policed more aggressively, so
you didn't lead up to this stuff. But the other
side of the coin is you got to keep people

(53:18):
like this in jail if they continue to keep doing things.
And he has shown a willingness prior to this to
get violent because of the physical assaults. He's just like,
I'm homeless, I'm crazy, and maybe he is. Maybe it's
part of how he intimidates people. He looks crazy, right
if you look at that, If you look at the

(53:39):
mugshot here, he looks like a dude who if you
saw him walking, probably with a weird gait towards you
and dirty clothes on the street, you're going to have
your radar up. Well, I know, is that insensitive? No? No,
that's how we have innately kept ourselves safe as a

(54:00):
human species. It's why when you see people when it's white,
people get grossed out by things like spiders and stuff.
You ever, have you ever actually studied this, like why
people tend most people. Yeah, I understand you're cool and
they ain't no spider scaring me. Well, if that's the
case and you say you're not scared of spiders, I

(54:21):
want to get a hold of one of those camel
spiders from Afghanistan because I've never even seen one in person.
We just had callers tell us about it when they
were serving over there, and I want nothing to do
with that. And if you don't know what that little
friendly critter does. It waits for you to go to sleep,
and then if your leg is exposed or something like that,
it injects you with something to numb you but also

(54:43):
liquefy your flesh so it can drink you. Do you
just end up with a hole in your leg while
you're sleeping because your leg's all numb. Nuke the whole
area of range of where that lives. Honestly, just let's
just be done with that. But we like that is

(55:04):
a human that is built into being human, and it's
a it's a survival reaction that they can literally test
and recreate and and are knowledgeable of to things that
were light it's or something looks gross where we naturally recoil.
That's your brain going there might be infectious disease there,

(55:25):
probably shouldn't mess with that. And then the other part
of our brain is like, let's get a stick and
poke it or fling it at our friends as a joke,
which is an idea that occurred to me and my
friends where there was a bunch of baby rattlesnakes one time,
my mom had a she had it rough. Yeah, So

(55:45):
that's why we we we do those things. And and
so even when you see somebody who looks like if
you were a casting director for a movie, you're like, hey,
we need the crazy dude who's going to kill all
the college kids. And then dude showed up, you wouldn't
even make him read Okay, You'd be like, that's that's
our crazy college student murderer person.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
Right.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Is that is that unfair? I don't think so. Sorry.
So I saw some people were like, yeah, you guys
are credit, you guys are taking his mugshot. Yeah, you
would cross the street. Shut up. So anyway, this guy's
out there he's doing all the stabbing. So we find
out he was released on the seventeenth for a bunch
of burglaries. Uh, well, it turns out right, you know

(56:33):
what he did right after he was released, So he
just got out of jail. You're like, ah, it's good
to be free. He immediately runs into a like a
high end Tribeca store. And when I say high end,
I want you to know they're they're there to go
buy a bowl at this store, because that's what he stole.
He stole a bowl, one bowl, one acrylic bowl from

(57:01):
the Jonathan Adler shop. And if you know that name,
all right, you already know what you're dealing with here. Ross,
What do you think a single bowl that you would
eat soup or cheerios out of at this fine Tribeca
establishment costs one bowl, and of course you would need
four or five, you know, six of them, but one,
just one? I don't like ten fifteen bucks, fifteen hundred dollars,

(57:21):
Oh my god, fifteen hundred dollars for a Super Bowl.
How he knew maybe here's the thing and it's the
half of me. Until this happened, I'd be like, maybe
that dude just wanted a bowl eat out of and
had no idea, but you kind of know. So he

(57:42):
stole the one on the day he was released four
do stealing stuff and assaulting people. But he was a
run into a store, push a pregnant clerk, grab something,
and run off thing kind of dude, that's who you're
dealing with. So he goes he steals the bull. So
what do you think the judge does? Is like, sir,

(58:04):
we just let you out of jail for stealing stuff
and then you walk into the first nice store steal
a bull worth fifteen hundred dollars, which is a felonious level.
Now what is the judge? I released some you get
out of here crazy, don't steal any more bulls, or
if you do, probably aim for one under one thousand dollars.

(58:27):
And then he's like, yeah, you know what, I think
I'll just go murder people. And now everyone's pointing fingers
like how could this have happened? Eight arrest in New
York City and this exact thing, including we just let
him out and then he did it again just days ago.
Who could have seen this coming? And the answer is
everybody and nobody. As you read through the article. So

(58:53):
if there is any sort of sea change in New
York City that's going to be brought on by this,
nobody's nobody should own a lot of interest there, all right?
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
All right, So let's stick a quarter in the weather
roulette lottery. Who do we have today? Ken boone? Today?
Ken boon? All right, look at them. We're getting talk

(59:15):
to everybody. So how are you doing, sir?

Speaker 8 (59:18):
I'm doing well about yourself.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Oh you know, it's only Tuesday, but we're making it through.
You could reward us with some nice weather this week.
I'd like to play some golf. That'd be great, So please.

Speaker 8 (59:30):
Well, I would suggest today if you're going to play
golf this week, today is going to be the best day.
Temperatures are going to be up into low seventies. A
little more clouds and we dealt with yesterday, but we
will see a little bit of sunshine. We've got a
chance of showers tonight through Wednesday night off and on
best chance will be overnight tonight into early Wednesday and
then again late Wednesday into Wednesday night. So tomorrow afternoon,

(59:51):
if you want to get out on the golf course,
you might be okay, temperatures are going to be in
the low part of the seventies and then turning colder
though for the end of the week, sunny and windy.
Thursday four HIH's only load to mid fifties with overnight
lows down in the thirties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Alrighty, thank you sir. We'll talk in an hour. Do
appreciate it? Alrighty, all right, ken Moon there from the
Weather Channel. When we come back, here we go, we're
gonna we're talking a little about some vote stuff. Love
to get that. Oh, the EIGHTP story. I gotta share
that with you. And uh, you want to want another
example of what media bias looks like, a lot of times,

(01:00:26):
it's not just the story, it's in the headlining or
the selection of story and the way that the issue
is being presented. I will give you exhibit A from
our friends over wriol uh and I'll do that next.
Hang on. After he wandered into the Amazon rainforest yesterday, Ross,
did you see the video of him wandering like literally
just wandering into the forest. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
The weird part about that too, was like there was
a pathway. Yeah, there was a path where he was
supposed to walk where it wasn't in jungle, and he
like walked out into the.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Digital Literally, if you watch this, if you want hold on,
let me, let me do this. I'm gonna send you
this so we can retweet it just because I'm it's
on my computer where I'm staring at it, all right. Yeah,
And it's not like it's a little trail either. It's

(01:01:16):
clearly the road if you will, through the woods. And
then and the reason I ask if he's still missing
is then they did the photo. They're at the G
twenty where it's going on in Brazil, and as part
of the events, that bad dude in Brazil is like
worn with Musk. His wife's out there screaming f elon

(01:01:37):
Musk at a political event. Oh everybody, he's just nuts man.
And then but Biden just wanders out. What if he
mistakenly wandered into like a shaman and now he's on
a highwasca trip.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
Well, when I first saw the video, it's so ridiculous,
I thought it was photosh Yeah. What when I first
saw the video, Yeah, the still of the video and
it looks so ridiculous, I thought it was photo shopped
or like, yeah, why is Joe Biden an animal kingdom, Like,
what is going on?

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Yeah? Now he's in Brazil for the G twenty. No,
he was in Brazil and Peru, so Brazil for the
G twenty and then the thing. But yeah, and then
he didn't show up to the photo. So they always
do the uh the folk. Do you remember when you
remember when Obama one year decided to put his hand
in front of the who was it the Mongolian dude's face?

(01:02:26):
So they had this, They have this poor mono they
had him on. I don't know who the guy's name is, right,
he shows up there and Barack Obama just is like,
we'll go I block you now, I'm blocking now. So yeah,
for him not to show up, he might be wandering
in the Amazon. He might be contacting lost tribes. At

(01:02:47):
least when he sees their level of technology, he'll feel
like he's back in college or something playing flankerback. I
don't know. Yeah, it would kill me as if he
then popped out of the woods and did the shimmy.
So I don't know if you guys are you guys
are probably aware of this. That's everywhere in sports right now. Yesterday,

(01:03:07):
the US Men's soccer team, so they have it's the
Copadoro I think's going on right now, which is the
or it might be the Sea something right. Well, I'm
not a huge soccer guy, but it's the regional soccer
right Central America, South America, well not all of South America.
Somebody explained this to me one time. But US was

(01:03:28):
playing Jamaica, and so they score on Jamaica and one
of the US men's soccer players he does the shimmy there,
which is extra ironic if you remember who I just
said they scored the goal on Jamaica, because I seem
to remember one of the candidates just had themselves some

(01:03:51):
connection to Jamaica. But maybe I'm wrong, Maybe they didn't
own a giant slave plantation there. So yeah, he's doing
the shimmy. And now one of the one of the guys,
one of the sports dudes, was tweeting out that behind
the scenes, some folks at NFL are maybe wanting to
have a conversation about quote political celebrations. Do absolutely do that.

(01:04:17):
I don't want that to be just a remorant. The
guys go ahead and.

Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
Do That's like kneeling right during the national No no.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
No, no, No, no political celebration.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
That well, that seems like that's a political celebration, right, No,
that's that's actively.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
That's a movement. That's that's just that's it's human rights man.
What do you mean? What do you mean a political celebraty? No,
doing the Trump shimmy, that's the that's the problem.

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
I feel like these owners just don't understand who their
audience is. Well, because the Trump shimmy, that should be
like the thing like that that is not frowned upon.
Just no nogeting the groups that don't watch them.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
I have no idea. Remember they find Bosa for the hat.
The other day you retweeted this of Dona of Joe
Biden wandered into the Amazon kind of but not really,
where's you going? Where are you going?

Speaker 5 (01:05:10):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
You know there's snakes and stuff in there? It's just surreal. Okay,
all right, Well, I think they found them probably or
we'd have heard about it and we're gonna need them,
or maybe not. It's far worse. So I was talking
here a few minutes ago. The reason I didn't jump
right into it is I, if given the opportunity, I

(01:05:33):
want to try to understand the story so that's important,
and so we have this this morning. Ukraine uses US
missiles to hit Russian AMMO depot. The difference is is
it's seventy seven miles in to Russia and thus far

(01:05:55):
the US is part of their fatherly role, if you will,
has been to not allow Ukraine to fire that far
into Russia with US munitions. Right, and and that that's
all that's done. We've we found out two days ago
they said, now you want to fire into Russia, go ahead.

(01:06:15):
I'm not sure if they gave them a total distance,
but yeah, you say, well, they're blowing up an amodepo,
they're firing into uk I got all this stuff one
hundred percent, one hundred percent. I understand this. But it
is an escalation. And now there's another story. And this
is where this gets even more problematic. So there's a

(01:06:38):
couple of things you need to know about China. One,
China tends to ignore the quote unquote rules of war.
They tend to not care. And there's different things you
can do. Hamas is the same way right where you
know the rules. If there are such things, but they're
kind of are under like Geneva and things like that

(01:07:00):
that say things like, you know, you can't put a
full military installation under a hospital, right, can't needs to
be separations from civilians. It's pretty standard stuff. They don't
care and and they're gonna be wrong. The US also
bypasses stuff from an espionage standpoint, but China also does

(01:07:25):
a thing where they utilize what are civilian ships and
stuff like the big cargo ships. If you see a
if you see a Chinese flag cargo ship, you have
to understand that that cargo ship also has the ability
to carry out espionage and war activities for lack of
a better word. And one of the things that they

(01:07:47):
do is by they drag they anchor drag stuff, except
it's more than an anchor. It's essentially a cutting device,
and they use it to decimate telecoms and then you know,
then you try to do it under the guise of, oh,
we're just put an anchor down those anchor lines. For
any of you who've ever used avionics on the on
the airline side or navionys on the on the ship side,

(01:08:10):
they're incredibly detailed. They're incredibly detailed. And one of the
things that you're gonna know on there are where telecoms are,
so it's not a surprise to them. So I guess
they left the port the in Saint Petersburg Chinese ship
port obviously to Russian port. So they're in the Balktic
and according to reports, UH, they the ship sliced through

(01:08:36):
two undersea telecom lines over the last two days, UH,
destroying one connected Finland and Germany and another that connected
Sweden and Lithuania. So you know, very far into the
Baltic almost to Saint Petersburg, they dropped this device and
they sliced these telecom lines and they just kept trucking
after that. And now they figured out what's happening. And

(01:08:59):
so they have the Danish navy, which I don't know
if that's more than one dude in a boat or
what that is, but they're essentially surrounded this ship and
they're following it, but they're not stopping it because if
you stop or seize a Chinese ship, China considers that
an act of war. So what do you do. You

(01:09:22):
have this ship straight out of Russia that is doing
this thing, pretending that they were just doing anchoring. But
we know this. And by the way, this very same ship,
the Yeepeng, has been previously caught doing this before. Well,
now at the same time they're lobb and missiles into
Russia proper, China's out here cutting telecom lines. People are

(01:09:44):
getting at a little amped up about what that means man.
And also what do you do you know, because they're
getting in and out of the Baltic obviously has these
pinch points and so, and they have a lot they
can exercise a lot of control in your ability to
travel in there, but they still have to be willing

(01:10:05):
to get into that standoff. And I don't know if
that's what you want. So you know what, I would
probably pay attention to that today. And I don't know
what they're gonna do with this ship. The reporting I'm
seeing is about twenty five minutes old, says strong evidence
indicating the Chinese bulk carrier Ye Peng destroyed two undersea
telecom cables connecting Finland, Germany, and Sweden and Lithuania. The

(01:10:28):
Danish Navy is shadowing Ye Peng right now as she
tries to leave the Baltic. No decision yet to board
the ship. And of course one of the things obviously
they're going to do if they think they get boarded,
is well one. I think that some of those things
end up at the bottom of the ocean what they

(01:10:49):
may have had on board. But yeah, that's now you've
got China and Russia where there are changes on the
horizon today for the shenanigans they're doing. I don't know
what Trump's gonna be walking into man absolute pressure cooker
on this stuff. And why the Biden administration I just

(01:11:12):
have on loop in front of me wandering into the Amazon.
Why he's sitting there going, hey, you know what, I'm
not gonna be here in just a couple of months,
So let's go ahead and get this thing ramped up.
The argument I saw on the Washington Post is they
know that Trump's you know, essentially, he's Putin's puppet, and
so if they don't do this now, it'll never be done.

(01:11:34):
That doesn't sound like a good excuse, even if you
one hundred percent believe that you are escalating the situation.
And now again we have the ship situation, so we'll
see where that goes. The Associated Press has announced a
series of layoffs. They are now they are now among

(01:11:54):
the many companies who are reevaluating after the election. Now
I would say this, this is the normal time of
the year when you do layoffs, right, you want them
off the books. I know this is a very cold
interpretation of it, but anyone who's worked in the media
industry knows that it is the end of the year

(01:12:15):
where you see these cuts. And it's not just the
media industry, but also and this is another thing, it's
after a time of aggressive staffing. So the amount of
people that you need to do full election coverage generally
outpaces what is your normal staffing levels. The way the
TV does it and the way that some of the

(01:12:36):
big national outlets do it. So I read I guess
you can read into it as much or little as
you want, but I'm not surprised to see the story.
It is interesting, though, considering AP was really the call
standard for most of the outlets in determining what ends
up as you know, as they've officially called it. People

(01:13:00):
looked to AP as one of the flagships for that too,
And now they're saying that they're gonna fire about ten
percent of their staff, offer buyouts things like that. So
it continues. But I don't know if you can solely
chalk that up just to the media come up in
sarcin Although some of it's probably in there for sure.

(01:13:21):
All right, let me do this. We have a speaking
of Russia, we have a sad story to share with you.
Totally unexpected, totally unexpected. Wait, Boston Paul sending me stuff.
Boston Paul, your wife emailed me this morning. I'm sorry,
I'm gonna bust her. I don't know how this is
my problem. Hold on, let me go back to this.

(01:13:45):
Oh it was when I announced that Ross and I
aren't going to be here next week. She writes, Please
please work next week. If you're not on the air,
I have to entertain Boston Paul, and I don't have
time for that. Well, you got two options, the way
I see it. One, you can hook him up to
his ivy of alcohol right stick the little tap thing

(01:14:07):
on his mout or. And I was just thinking, Ross,
you know what's you know what? When it low seventies,
upper sixties is really great weather for outdoor honeydew projects. Right.
Uh so, uh, missus, Boston Paul, maybe, just maybe, while
we're not here next week would be a wonderful time
for you to get a big list together of all

(01:14:28):
the stuff you've been trying to get him to work on.
He's gonna have all this free time, the weather's gonna
be cooperative, and he can spend that week, you know,
fixing the cleaning the gutters, or fixing the loose stone
on the walkway out there, or I don't know, building
you a she shack or something, right the whole week

(01:14:49):
to do it. We won't be here. We're gonna be
on vacation. So then you don't have to entertain him.
You get home improvement and Boston Paul gets a sense
of accomplishment. I think that's a great idea. So yeah,
I would put and put lots of stuff on there,
especially stuff you asked him about like months ago that

(01:15:09):
he still hasn't gotten, or you don't put that on
there too, and then uh you know there you go,
all right? Eight eight a three four seven eight seven
four Yeah, did I violate bro code? I don't know.
You tell me. We'll take a break. Hang on. Christians
in Russia are they're still unsure what may have happened here?

(01:15:30):
They do have a theory. So to know, you need
to know a man by the name of Vladimir Scalarov.
So I don't want to pronounce your your last name.
There Vladimir. He's dead anyway, but he also kind of
a famous dude in Russia. Vladimir considered the top male

(01:15:55):
ballet dancer dances I think with the Saint Petersburg belly. Yeah,
Saint Petersburg. But he's a big deal, and in Russia
ballet is a big deal. I don't know if you're familiar.
And he's married father too. He's in his thirties, been

(01:16:15):
doing this for a while, gaining a lot of respect,
and he used he parlayed that celebrity into becoming one
of the biggest outspoken critics of Russia's war in Ukraine.
Even's going so far as to hold, you know, events
right in the middle of the square there in Saint Petersburg,
near the theatre Marinsky Theater, which is that big famous

(01:16:39):
one you've probably seen a picture of. And any who,
so long story short, he accidentally fell out of a
fifth floor window because he's clumsy.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
So I heard he was chased out by actual nutcrackers,
like the giant ones, the Christmas ones.

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
Oh my god, yeah, terrifying, wouldn't it. Those things are
kind of creepy anyway, But now you got real like
robotic or humanoid why oh man, that's that's nightmare fuel there. Yes,
the dude with the best balance in the country arguably
accidentally fell out of a fifth floor window and died,

(01:17:15):
the guy who just happened to also be a big
Putin critic. Now, according to Russian officials, they say that
the action was caused one from okay, well they said painkillers,

(01:17:35):
and there's two reasons, one painkillers and two not giant nutcrackers,
not according to statement, but rather he has him losing
his balance and overestimating his ability.

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
There they need to find new ways to do this.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
Well, I know, you could see it from both ways
because people it's so obvious. People are like, oh wow,
another dude falls out of a window to his death.
That was, you know, not very complimentary of Putin, right,
but you would like if you're sitting to maybe throw
something out of the window, like he's throw a giant
anvil in his head like her dream style or yeah, something.
But maybe they want it to be this way, so
it's very obvious to people what's going on, so you

(01:18:19):
don't criticize the government.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
I mean, if you're in Russia right now and you're
thinking about criticizing Putin, you're like, they just said the
dude with the best balance tripped and fell out a window. Also,
why is the window so trippable and openable? I mean like, yeah,
maybe that's because here's the thing. You could do that,
or you could do the Disneyland model, right, which we
have exposed on this show before, where we figured out

(01:18:43):
that there was a lot of weird deaths in and
around Disney, and so we just assume it's all gators
eating people, but they covered up. They're like because like
right after that kid got eating, they're like one of
the guys diving a smelting accent. It's like, what are
you smelting at Disney? What are you doing there? They
had some weird ones. So like our theory as Disney
was switching it up to cover up the summer of

(01:19:04):
the gator. But in this case, I see what you're saying.
But yeah, I think that if you keep it so obvious,
that sends a message because you could just as easily
have you could have opponents accidentally like oh he went camping,
he got eaten by all the bears. Whoops. Right, you
could do that and mix it up, but then the

(01:19:26):
message gets muddled as well. They're like, did Putin have
him eliminated for daring to say, friends, I'm against the
war in Ukraine for the people, or a peaceful sky
above our lands, which is the statement one of the
statements he made the other day that caused a little
bit of a stir, A little bit of a stir.

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
Yeah, it's like that Russia saying during the Civic Union,
right where like they're lying. We know they're lying, but
they keep lying about their lying, right, And that's the point.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
Yeah, we're gonna do it. You gotta you gotta do
it all the way. Man. Let's see here. Then they
have a whole list of people who've fallen out windows. Again,
we've as we've explained here on the show, you never
leave the first floor. If you want to play in
politics in Russia, you have a first Do you have

(01:20:16):
a first floor? Master? Right?

Speaker 6 (01:20:19):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:20:19):
Man, you want to be like Milton and office space.
You want your desk to be like in the basement.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
Oh my gosh, okay, I have there's so many questions
that I have on this story. South Korean man arrested
in uh he was in Peru. I think it was
in South America somewhere. I was in Peru, Pruvian police

(01:20:48):
stop the twenty eight year old South Korean man at
Hore Chavez International Airport after noticing a moving bulge his abdomen,
eventually bringing him in for extra searching. And it was
only as they started to get in under his shirt

(01:21:11):
that they realized what was up, and then as they
kept going they realized how much worse it was. According
to officials, the man had strapped to and or inserted
in his body three hundred and twenty tarantulas, one hundred

(01:21:34):
and ten giant centipedes, and nine bullet ants. How do
you make the decision between those three of what goes
in your body versus on your body? And what does
the ratio breakdown? And have you seen the size of centipedes,

(01:21:54):
by the way, in South America, they're not small, some are,
but the ones he's smuggling, the ones that they want
for medicinal and stuff, they're pretty big. Three hundred and
twenty and then you have to have three they're live,
three hundred and twenty live tarantulas, one hundred and ten
centipedes and nine bullet ants. Touching your body inside or

(01:22:17):
out for how long is that?

Speaker 4 (01:22:22):
There's no way that's intentional. You have to be like
a victim of Jigsaw or something at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
That's what I'm wondering, Like how many of his family
members did the Proving gang kidnap? Like what is the
just just think about is what is happening right now?
Mentally in this feeling on your skin when I say
you have three hundred and twenty tranch live tarantulas all on.

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
You just did this story what forty minutes ago talking
about you know how the human brain is conditioned to
see spiders and be like, hey, that's creepy because it
could possibly kill you. And this dude's putting them on
his body.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Yeah, that's the baddest dude ever. Man, I give zero,
you know what? But also, what did you go within
the body? This is where? And and remember this is
not just we've had Remember the remember the guy down

(01:23:15):
for the woman down in Florida who had nine syringes
internally packaged like that's insane, you know, But to.

Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
Be fair, those weren't hers.

Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
They were that's you know what, that's absolutely right. Oh
well maybe these are not his. Maybe he went to Peru,
and Peru I want to go too. Still, I've not
been to Peru. Uh, yeah, I want to go see
all the crazy stuff. Yes, I want to go see
the child sacrifice altars I talked about yesterday. I don't know,

(01:23:47):
I just uh, I love historical stuff. That being said,
I've traveled to South America and I didn't I didn't
come back covered in spiders, So I thought, one, that's
a win. Two, the situation never presented itself. And if

(01:24:08):
you've ever flown to the Bahamas, and I'm sure many
of you probably have been to the Bahamas, you recognize
that if you go. When you're leaving the Bahamas, I
ended up talking to the customs lady about this because
we were in uh uh, what's I can't remember the
We weren't in Nasa. We were in up north in

(01:24:29):
the in the main city there, and then the resorts
that we used like to go to got wiped out.
But but when you're leaving in that tiny little airport,
they do they like, there's signs everywhere. They're like, hey,
you're not smuggling birds, are you. You don't have a
bunch of birds taped to your body, do you? Because
if you do, that's really really bad and there's gonna

(01:24:50):
be problems, and so I'm talking to the lady, I'm like,
how much like I? At first, I know, I'm like,
maybe I shouldn't bring it up because you'd be like,
why are you talking about bird smug? But I just
couldn't help myself. I'm naturally curious, and I'm like, is
that really a problem? And she's like, oh, yeah, yeah,
yea yeah. She starts telling me about like big bird
busts in her career, where like some lunatic had drugged

(01:25:12):
like fifty parrots and had him strapped around, but he's
his whole like they're still kind of moving, so like
his Closer movie, he wasn't gonna get away with him.
This dude's like, ah, birds, Tarantula's giant centipedes man and bulleted?
What's a bullet ant? Ross? Will you look up with
a bullet ant is? Something tells me it's far worse
than other ants. It just has to be. Are those

(01:25:34):
the ones that ate shil above or tried to in
that in that god awful Crystal Skulls movie. I want
to know what a bullet ant is.

Speaker 4 (01:25:46):
Obvious it is a large predatory ant with of course,
with a painful sting of course it does. That's considered
the most painful of all insects stings.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
That's the what he had in his butt. Right, Let's right,
I know it is because it's only nine. Right, You're
not putting three hundred twenty tarantulas in there or one
hundred and ten giant centipedes. Now you're putting bullet ants.
That dude doesn't care. That's a dude who's mentally not

(01:26:16):
even on this plane anymore. He's he's already onto his
next life. He's like, whatever happens, I don't keep on
putting nine bullet hants in there.

Speaker 4 (01:26:26):
Sure, absolutely if it is like an origin story, like
I say, he's not going to be a spider Man,
he's going to be more like, uh, you know, venom
or something that's going to you're not a good guy
at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
So I haven't seen a picture. These things are terrifying,
all right, hold on, well, just the description's terrified, the
most painful sting or all at the size of this thing,
all the cow angry it looks. Dude, if you're in
your yard today for rush, let's say you go out,
I don't know, to roll up the hose or something.
You see one of those in your yard. You are

(01:26:57):
in your own house.

Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
Right, you are your house, and your neighbors was in
the all the houses in the block, just to be safe.

Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
Yeah, and then the police will show like why'd you
do it?

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
And tell me not guilty.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
Yeah, there's a picture of some lunatic getting stung by one.
He does not look happy. Good god. Yeah that's the one.

Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
Okay, So now I'm saying it to scale. Yeah, that
thing is ginormous.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
Yes, they probably have to probably have to burn down
all awake forest man.

Speaker 4 (01:27:26):
Just take like your thumb and your your pointer finger
like your point like a like a finger gun. Do
a finger gun. It's like that big.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Yeah. Yeah, so you know, put eight of those in there,
one hundred and tens. What is that? What is possibly
are you?

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
Are are you like a bullet ant fighter? Or does
that make Is that good for the uh for the
sports car? I don't know. I don't I'm not plugged
in on all the Eastern medicine stuff. Oh yeah, I
think it's far more. This is far more horror ooh okay,

(01:28:09):
it's killing can kill people too. Yeah, these are totally
the things that try to eat Shilah buff sadly I
was rooting for him and it didn't work out. But
all right, no, thank you on that. Okay, the reading.
You want to know what they call it? A bullet ant.
You're ready for this. I don't know if you got
to this part, Russ. It's called a bullet ant because

(01:28:29):
according to victims of the sting who have also been shot,
it is equally or more painful. Dude, if you're opting
to get shot over running into a bullet ant, that
guy is walking dead man, or they got his whole

(01:28:50):
family kidnapped. I don't know. All right, let's get Ken
boone in here, or go learn about nature with us.
So I'm always always fascinated body these stories where they
stop some guy and he's smuggling like three thousand animals
taped to his body, like snakes and stuff like that.
You see those crazy guys.

Speaker 8 (01:29:08):
Yeah, yeah, and for birds and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:29:11):
Yeah, the bird when I was talking about the behind
your bit of the Bahamas where they're like, hey, don't
smuggle birds. Signs frigging everywhere, right, Yeah. And I was
asking one of the customs ladies one time, say oh yeah,
like she was telling me about like this guy who
had all these birds tape to him, said the birds
were moving and he was trying to act natural. But
this guy goes to Peru and he smuggles quote either

(01:29:32):
tape to his body or placed within I guess cocaine
smuggle style. Three hundred and twenty live tarantulas, one hundred
and ten giant centipedes, and nine bullet ants. And we
didn't know what a bullet ant was. And it's the
size of your thumb.

Speaker 4 (01:29:52):
Or larger.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
And it's called a bullet ant because it's sting is
considered one of the most painful stings in the world.
And for victims who've been ung and shot, they say
it's on par with being shot. Wow, I've never heard of.
Let me put nine of those in my body. So
I don't want to mess with that dude. Man he
seen now, all right, anyway, watch out for bullet ants.

(01:30:14):
And you know, you want to get outside today maybe
with the weather, just you know, keep an eye out.

Speaker 8 (01:30:19):
Yeah, today's gonna be a pretty nice day if you're
gonna be outside. We do have some rain that's headed in.
We're gonna be dealing with rain off and on tonight
through Wednesday night, and then it turns colder, so out
there today, partner the mostly cloudy sky's low seventies, showers
overnight upper fifties, scattered, many morning showers tomorrow. I think
the afternoon will be dry, but lots of clouds still,
reaching low seventies tomorrow, and then another round of showers

(01:30:40):
Wednesday night before the cold air moves in Thursday Friday.
Sunny Thursday Friday, but it will be windy with gusty
west and northwest winds. Highs only in the low to
mid fifties and low's expected to be in the thirties.
Sunny and cool this weekend as well, with high still
in the fifties, although less wind for the upcoming weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it, and we'll come back.
Chat with Jeff Bellinger. Decks Hang one Bellinger, Jeff, what's
going on? Al's morning?

Speaker 9 (01:31:06):
Casey looks like a lower star to head on. Wall
Street futures have been in the red all morning. Right now,
the Dow futures are down four hundred and twenty two points.
There was a bigger than expected decline in housing starts
last month. Census Bureau data showed the number of groundbreakings
for houses and departments fell a little more than three
percent in October to an annual rate of just over

(01:31:28):
one point three million. Softness in the housing market being
reflected in Low's quarterly results the home improvement chains as
customers are postponing big improvement projects. A key sales metric,
fell in the latest quarter, though it was a smaller
than expected decline. A lot of consumers planned to start
or resume their holiday shopping in the days right after Thanksgiving.

(01:31:50):
Bankread says nearly six and ten American adults expect to
make a purchase on Cyber Monday that would make the
online sales event more popular than Black Friday your Small
Business Saturday. One billion dollar is going to be invested
to set up a new semiconductor research center in North Carolina.
Semiconductor Research, the industry consortium that will run the facility,

(01:32:11):
is getting two hundred and eighty five million dollars from
the federal government under the twenty twenty two Chips and
Science Act. The center's goal will be to develop ships
faster and at a lower cost. Economists at Bank of
America think the Federal Reserve will end its cycle of
interest rate cuts in June of next year, they predict
rates will only be three quarters of a percent lower

(01:32:31):
than they are now. This latest forecast reflects the expert's
expectations for more inflation in the early days of the
Trump administration. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is keeping big Tech
in its crosshairs right to the end. Top Justice Department
officials will reportedly ask a federal judge to order Google
to sell off its Chrome web browser. Bloomberg Intelligence see

(01:32:54):
some signs that restaurant sales will pick up next year,
but it says business will likely remain soft off through
the end.

Speaker 4 (01:33:00):
Of this year.

Speaker 9 (01:33:01):
And Casey, you need a really good credit score if
you hope to borrow money. The New York Fed says
lenders have tightened their standards. Applications for auto loans and
mortgage refives are being rejected at the highest rates in
over a decade.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
Casey, all right, thank you, Jeff, do appreciate it. We
will talk to you tomorrow. Sounds good.

Speaker 9 (01:33:21):
Talk to you, then take care of it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:22):
There you go. Jeff Bellons for Bloomberg News. Ross I
did something I shouldn't have done. I looked up a
bullet ant queen because I'm like, are we looking at
the queens or the workers. Don't google the queens. Remember
that thing you just talked about with your finger the
finger gun? All right, now what you to do is
I want you to hold your whole hand up flat.

(01:33:43):
Look at that. That's the size of the queens. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
And then Lunatics keeps sending me videos of this dude.
As I can best as I can understand, his YouTube
channel is just him getting stung in bit by things.
So he just he's like, yeah, it could be a honeybee,
could be a wasp, could be a hornet, could be

(01:34:05):
these ants. And he's just say, all right, and Ross,
do you want to know how well his channel does
pretty frigger well pretty well. I don't know how many
twitch people you got watching you, but maybe you need
to change. Maybe you just need to get stung by stuff.
Look at all the clicks this dude has. That is crazy.
All right, Reggie, what's up?

Speaker 6 (01:34:27):
Hey? I could steal us up beyond vet do to
the horse and bullet ants. There's this guy that does
the same thing. He does wild wild stunt and there's
a trab that tis the man good. You know those
gloves that you use a trained dogs, big long glove. Yeah,
they got something like that, and they sew bullet at

(01:34:48):
inside of them, and you slip your arms inside those
and you do this role trouble thence while they're stinging
of the Jesus at them.

Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
Yeah, I was reading it's funny you mentioned. I was
also reading that it literally that you would they would
use bullyt ant. The Mayans would use them. I didn't.
I don't use the Mayans. He has, but they would
as a as a transition to manhood. They would let
him sting dudes in a certain place. What was wrong
with those people?

Speaker 6 (01:35:15):
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:35:17):
Oh my gosh, all right, you know what I just be.
You know what, I'm gonna go live in another village.
R I don't have to do this insanity. That is awful.
All right, Well, thank you sir. That'll be somebody's rabbit
hole on YouTube today that they're gonna be really sorry
you brought up, but unable to turn away. I guess, oh,
I have to make a correction. Ross. Do you remember
when we were reporting the dollar amounts of the Harris

(01:35:39):
campaign maybe gave to celebrities for these various events, and
it was still up in the air because they remember
Oprah came out and denied that she was given a
million dollars. Now it turns out that is that was
not true. Okay, Oprah was not given a million dollars.
This is around that. Remember the town hall she did.
Uh their respect relation that she was paid a million

(01:36:01):
dollars for that. Now I can't speak to the other
folks like Eminem and Beyonce and all that, but uh,
it's uh, they finally deeped over some of the financials
here in Oprah was not paid a million dollars. She
was paid two and a half million dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
I mean, so technically she didn't lie, right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
So technically she didn't lie.

Speaker 4 (01:36:21):
Hey, you were given a million TOI, I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
Yeah, I mean that would be fair. If I'm like, Ross,
you just and you just stole two million out of
my money drawer. I did not, And I'm and I'm like,
why did you do that? And and you have five
million for my money drawer? If you said you's why
you gotta word your question correctly.

Speaker 4 (01:36:38):
Yeah, did not still two million?

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
Come on, none of you have none of you ever
had your three wishes from a genie. You don't screw
around on the wording. So with Oprah, you don't accuse
her of getting paid a million dollars when in reality
it was two and a half million. So I just
wanted to apologize for now. We didn't say it was firm.
I said that these are reports that are out there

(01:37:02):
and now I'm coming back to uh fiction.
