Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's see phone number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. As we get things rolling this morning,
and so we're I guess we're where are you looking
at another nominee? Maybe pulling out Pete hagg Seth. I

(00:21):
don't know, pulling out it's the right word, but at
the very least getting replaced. Did I wake up this
morning there's nothing but headlines that Ron De Santis might
be the Secretary of Defense pick. Does that seem like
a waste of Ron de Santis? I mean, I know
a lot of the jobs are handed out at this point,
but I always thought of DeSantis was gonna come over

(00:41):
and be part of the Trump administration. There it was.
I I not that the Secretary of Defense is not
an important job considering what's going on in the Pentagon
right now. But like, I don't know, man, you know,
DeSantis has more of the Doge vibes. Maybe, but we'll
see the question is you want to leave being the

(01:02):
governor of Florida. I don't know the answer to that. Obviously,
he the state and his approval rate and everything seems
to be going well down there, and if he slips
over to Defense secretary, I think it becomes harder for
him maybe to run for office, run for that same office,
although maybe he had enough of it the first time round.

(01:24):
I don't know, so curious what you think there. It's
not you know, it's not a huge, big chatty story
or anything. But they were all over that this morning
and CNN, is anybody buying this? So for the third
time now CNN's reporting that one of Trump's nominees was

(01:44):
the target of an Iranian hack. All of the information
in the previous hacks by Iran immediately then ending up
in I don't know, the airwaves of CNN, right, could
you remember some of this is this is heg Seth,
this is Gates, O, Ram's just cooking and then all

(02:07):
that info boom here you go, CNN, what are you
going to do with it? So now they're saying that
kash Patel is the target of an Iranian hack. And
I will say this, I don't think anyone on the
Internet was buying that at all, not at all, with
you know, just generic hackers, anonymous whatever being the ones

(02:30):
doing it, and then CNN facilitating it, right, because they'll
just they and other outlets who lectured us from a
moral perspective about the utilization of illegally obtained documents. This
is the Hunter Biden stuff they always really except it
wasn't all of these outlets that lectured everybody on that stuff.
Are they're tripping over themselves to run this stuff. So

(02:56):
I understand why people are going to be a little skeptical.
But now that'll just that'll continue to play out the
over the week. So all right, I just wanted to
do a little round up there because you got like
three different moving pieces and I don't know what's going
to happen, but you know, maybe maybe maybe Hegg says out,
maybe Desantas is in just because they don't want to
deal with it. The whole letter with the mom thing,

(03:18):
I didn't even get into all this stuff because it's
a lot of it's pretty questionable, pretty questionable. Do I
believe that he got a little rowdy when we go
out and party when he was younger he's thirty, Yeah, yeah,
probably especially, But do I give any credence to somebody

(03:39):
who's an anonymous former service member who served alongside hag
Seth who said he saw him with his shirt off
one time and question what those tattoos mean? No, no,
because I know what a Jerusalem Cross is. Most of
you do too, even if you don't know what it
is visually. Right now, if you look at you one,
oh yeah, I know what that thing is. That's what
they're talking about, and you can google that. So between

(04:02):
that and and and the other things, who does Maybe
maybe he just doesn't want to deal with it, or
maybe they're just doing the desantus thying to screw with
the media so they think that they got one what
you what you all should understand. And it's hard because
they never are right next to each other. None of

(04:22):
this process took place for any of Biden's cabinet, not
not in to this extent. Don't gonna be wrong. Fox
had stuff, and then individual citizen journalists would come up
with stuff. But the the idea that when a Republican
gets elected, anyone whose name is You're just getting thrown
right in a wood chipper and if you survive, great,

(04:43):
whereas anyone that Joe Biden can throw out there, even
people who's I don't know, are you one you wanted
to lead the nation's transportation industry and they they were
A mayor in uh in rural Indiana doesn't necessarily disqualify them,
but you better make a case for him when you
had whether floating names for stuff like Klobashar and others

(05:06):
like that, or are you get the you know, throwing
throwing things at staff members and along those lines. It's
not seeing in or any of these guys digging it
up even though it'd be easy for him. That's that's all.
That's local. That's hyperlocal stuff. That's the guys from power
Line that were doing the Clobashar stuff. I know because
I know them, that used to work in the Minneapolis market.

(05:29):
So that's you know, that's just the process. Because I
see already in the narrative is how is everyone fundamentally
broken that that Trump throws up there? And I guess
I would ask you this, are they more or less
broken if you were to do an honest assessment of
the current cabinet members? Or are they human? Where you

(05:53):
if you could find a little something, you can keep
pulling that thread and you can embellish just as much
as you want, even if you can't prove it. Would
anybody here stand up to that level of scrutiny where
the left has taken by the left? I also mean
most of the mainstream media. They've taken all of their hate,
the seething hatred that keeps them up at night that

(06:15):
they have for primarily one individual, but those around this individual,
and they're going to take that hate that motivates them
every day to go out and do what they do,
and do so in a bias manner, and do so
and unknowingly but in their mind justifiably biased manner because

(06:35):
they got to save America or some crap, and for
a brief moment, because that person just uttered your name,
all of that hatred, resource, nastiness, and dishonesty will be
channeled directly at you for as long as it takes.

(06:56):
That's what you're up against. That's rossk. Could you run
for president or be a cabinet member? You think any
think that had pan out if you just if it's
on the Republican side. Donald Trump utters your name today
and says I'm gonna I'm gonna make Ross the defense
Secretary of God to help us. By the way, if
that happens, do you think do you feel would you

(07:18):
feel comfortable with the what the the media would be
getting ready to do to you and your family in
that exactly that next moment, or would you just be like, Nope,
we're not doing this. I'm and I don't want my
name in there. I mean, yeah, that does not sound fun,
because I think there's probably a lot of people. There's
there's there's gonna be a crap ton of people where
Trump has offered them this and they went to no,
I don't want any of this, even if it's ambassadored

(07:41):
or whatever. I don't want any of this because they
don't want their lives and that is the goal. It's
not well, then we're gonna get better people. No, not necessarily.
Not necessarily, you're gonna get You're gonna get people who
are primarily washing to people. This is the great This

(08:04):
is the big, great problem. When you are from the
jump involved in politics right when you want when you
force yourself to become part of the swamp. Right, so
you're you're a young aspirational person from the age of
twenty one twenty two, graduate intern with a congress person's office,

(08:25):
get into the system, find yourself in a series of jobs.
Eventually they want you to run back in your home district.
You do it. You got a little name recognition, you
got people around you know what they're doing. So you
go and get yourself elected. You can build up from there.
Maybe you go the Cenate route, maybe not. Maybe you
get into something like this. Maybe one day you run
for president. But one thing that you do every single

(08:46):
moment of every single day, if you want to have
a real shot at this is from the moment you're
starting to establish credit right out of college and all this,
you are in the mindset that you could be running
for office. You want to be involved in this. So
you look to see what others are doing. And you

(09:08):
see others elected officials that you work for who have
a very interesting way of doing taxes. So there's really
nothing on there, and and it's and you realize that
they understand how to survive a background check one they
don't even know that's coming up yet. But you the

(09:29):
other you b ross anybody else. For the most part,
we're doing the private citizen thing. We don't. We don't
act like that, go about our business, never understanding that
one day lightning may strike and we may be motivated,
something may happen. And now you find yourself in the
in with that level of public scrutiny, and it's just unsustainable.

(09:52):
Mark Robinson felt some of that. Mark Robinson felt some
of that because he was just a guy who went
to a Greensboro City Council meeting to put a voice
that a lot of people are screaming at their TV.
At the same time. It's it's and and yet the Clintons,
how do the Clinton survive? You see Bill Clinton? I actually,

(10:13):
you know what, I'm going to see this. I actually
have sympathy for Bill Clinton. There's a story out about
anger and all that stuff. I understand where this dude's
coming from. But I also understand that, uh, the the
the levels of lawyering, preparation and political manipulation that that
family and many others Nancy Navidia Pelosi are able to

(10:35):
is it comes because they have been in the system
so long and they understand how to make sure none
of this stuff shows up, or that you know, they
trade favors, so it just it will never come out.
And that's not the case. That's not the case when
you're poed at some dude used to serve with because
I don't know, he didn't he didn't, he didn't forgot

(10:57):
your rank or something one time. Who knows that. Now
you're a whiny little. I looked at his I looked
at his chest. He's staring at him like that. But
you're like, and then you're sitting there and he scrutinizing this,
did you ask him? Most people ask if I see,
if I see somebody, I know he's got a tattoo,

(11:19):
I'm like, oh, what is that? They all ask, is
that a microaggression? I don't know. I know I'm not.
I'm allowed to ask about hair or where heyone's from.
But can I ask about what that tattoo is? And
I know I need to ask what it means. I
just sometimes I just want to know what it is.
Just crazy. I'm sorry this is is more of a
generic rant, but I just every time we do this,
everyone pretends like the same level of scrutiny is is

(11:44):
equally shared. And it just wasn't. With Biden's cabinet it wasn't.
And a Rock's cabinet especially it wasn't because remember he
had at the following his that election, the first election,
Remember all the photos they take of him where they
could make a this They looked like he had a halo.
You remember all those photos. Some case, some guy'd get

(12:06):
be like they're Okay, let me get at this angle
right here, and if they stop moving his head and boom,
there we go. And then you see these photos where
it's very subtle, but like there's a you know, there's
something on the wall and he's had his position right
and now it looks like he has a halo on
and they kept doing that crap. And so he could
have nominate. He could have been like, we've we've cloned

(12:28):
John Wayne Gacy and helped in human services, right, and
they would be like, well, look that's God, you know,
putting them up there. So I'm sure it's fine. No,
it's a it's a very different process, and it's and
it's intended to beat you down because ultimately it's not

(12:48):
about them having genuine concern for it. They want anyone
in that orbit to be terrified, continue to be terrified,
to align themselves with the person and they hate the most.
And in twenty sixteen, even after all these secret voters
and everything, it worked, people say one thing and do another.
And I would tell you that that is becoming a

(13:13):
thing of the past, and it is part of the
media losing their power. And this is them kicking and
screaming the whole way. Okay, all right, six twenty Hang
on this thing here, man. Look one of the things.
What are the positive things about the internet? Although it
gets really frustrating now trying to find any of this

(13:34):
stuff in Google? But how many of you have been
able to accomplish something because of a YouTube video?

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I had?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
What did? I needed one yesterday to figure out something
because for some some reason, my camera permissions got all
jacked up during the update on my company laptop. So
I had a team's meeting. I can't get my camera
to work, and I don't want to. I could put
in a trouble ticket, but the whole thing, I mean,
it's gotta be an easier way. I just kind of

(14:04):
type that in and you know, if you're decent with
like the Bullion search and and uh yeah, boom, there's
a video and I'm like, oh, okay, I gotta do that.
I to do two things and now it's fixed.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
That could be very helpful, But it depends on what
you're doing, right, Like, okay, me figuring out the camera
setting that I thought I didn't realize there was two
of them. Uh that's good for me. That's easily solved.
But you know I have. You're not watching a video
to make a bomb, right, there's terms of service, but
if there's any complexity to it, the danger is heightened.

(14:40):
So the other thing you shouldn't watch an internet video
to learn is how to do surgery on your kids. Okay,
you need not do that, you need not go well,
let's say, well it's a one hour video. If I
watch the whole thing, they give all the money we
can save. It takes a little longer to get good

(15:00):
at that, and even then you're probably not going to
do it on your kid, although maybe this one. A
Missouri couple have been arrested after their son had to
go to the hospital. He was bleeding pretty bad. Thankfully
they at the hospital were able to go ahead and
fix the kid up, but he had a rather strange

(15:22):
wound down there. See, the parents who decided that you'd
probably figure out how to do a circumcision if you
watch a few videos, and that's the direction they went quote.
The procedure did not go as planned, but the parents

(15:46):
explained that they thought through their research end quote a
blessing that they would be able to perform the thing
at home. Yeah, and don't get me wrong, I understand
that there's a religious component aspect to this in some
face where it's not necessarily a medical doctor. But also
you shouldn't do your first one because of a YouTube video?

(16:07):
And also why are there YouTube video showing how to
do this? How do those exist? I did not google it.
I didn't even ask ross to look it up because
I don't want to know. But how are you because
you can't show one? Can you? Thankfully?

Speaker 3 (16:22):
So?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Do you have to do the like the weird high
school sex ed thing where you're like, you got a
banana and a and a and a pairing knife and
what's how do how do you convey that on on
a platform that doesn't allow you to show stuff like that?
I that's I just want to know verbally. I don't
want visually. I just want verbally to know the answer

(16:45):
to that, because I have I have quite a few questions.
All right, let me add this is a this is
a question. This is a very serious question. Okay on
this story. Don't worry. I get into this, I get
into the South Korea stuff. Calm down, See, would you
understand everybody has talked about that. I will talk about it,

(17:06):
but it's not new to most people this one though
maybe some you've heard it, maybe you have it. I
don't know what to do here. I don't know what
you at because when it comes to juveniles going out
and doing stuff, criminal stuff, horrible stuff, some not so
horrible but still criminal, you know, just the whole gamut

(17:28):
of it, there's a lot of debate over at what
point should you face full consequences. And I'll be honest
with you, I've seen many a sixteen year old commit
many a vicious crime, and absolutely you couldn't convince me
that they did not. They were not able to know
that they you know, you weren't able to go in

(17:48):
and shoot eight people or what you know, some horrific something.
And then when it is a minor or some of
these these really like those girls who killed that uber
driver remember in DC, almost for fun, they're like, oh,
you can't charge with as adults. Look you get you
get into your teenage years, especially your late teenage years,
sixteen seventeen, I don't have a problem with it. Charge

(18:10):
charge away, and I think you know what's up. But
I think that you largely have become the person you're
going to be save. I guess being saved or or
or are finding something that turns your life around. Unfortunately,
sometimes we do things that are so over the top,
so evil, or you do so many of them. I
don't know that you're redeemable from a non This isn't

(18:34):
an argument over religious redemption. Okay, it's fine if you
want to be that's part of your thinking. But I
don't call in and be like, doesn't matter what they did.
He said, you know, just let you know, accept my
son and then we'll be good to go, and and
and I that's not what we're here. I'm talking about
redemption within society. There's a story out of South Carolina,

(18:59):
and they didn't involve well, the victim was a twelve geirl.
She's fourteen now, but she's not really her anymore. I'll
explain the details of it. And these are her classmates,
so I don't know all of their ages, but they
would have been, you know, twelve thirteen at the time
that what happened happened, and then another thing happened, and

(19:24):
now I'm like, I don't know. I don't know how
those individuals ever become productive members of society. What they
did is so profoundly evil. So here's the story. Kaleia
Turner is fourteen. She was twelve when this happened. Kaleiah
Taylor goes to school and or went to school rather

(19:46):
in Greenville, South Carolina, and she was the target of
some substantial bullying. It was so substantial that eventually Kalaia
made a decision that sadly uh uh other other kids
have made and decided that the only way out of

(20:09):
this hell at this school, which, by the way, the
it sounds like with yet nine staff members that the
lawyers and for the family and everybody have identified and
they've got they've got receipts on a lot of these
exchanges that just didn't seem to care, just couldn't be
bothered to stop the torment that this girl faced every day.

(20:31):
She's a bigger She's a bigger girl, right, She's she's
not conventionally pret This is not me insulting her. I'm
just saying that, like she seems exactly who people would
go after and bully. She sounds like she was kind
of soft, smoke spoken, was into art and stuff. From
mom's description, right, absolutely zoned in on this girl and
then tormentitor to One day she left a note fashioned

(20:54):
a noose and hung herself, and she was dead for
eight minutes and they revived her. But unfortunately, once oxygen
is not going to the brain anymore and it goes
on too long, you start facing very significant brain damage.
And unfortunately that's what happened here. She is forever not

(21:18):
the same she's she is on a tube. I think
she'll probably be on a tube going forward. She's essentially
now in a wheelchair, and it's it's all really sad.
But that's not even the most evil part. If that,
if I know that sounds crazy, that's not the most
evil part. I wouldn't even be doing the story if
that was the end of it. But there's another thing

(21:39):
that happened. That's the evil part, and I want to
know once I tell you about it. If you think
from a societal standpoint, the bullies that drove her to
do this are redeemable, you're gonna have to convince me.
I don't think they are, and I don't care that
they might have been thirteen when they did it. I'll
give you the part two, the rest of the story,

(22:01):
so to speak, on this horrible, horrible story, we'll do
it next. Hang on, so that the South Korea thing
is crazy. I will try to shed just a little
bit on it, and and real I don't reasonably all
understand all of it, but I get the vibe I
guess from reading articles yesterday and a sheer lunacy with
the with the martial law versus all of this. Let
me just be clear, because it had the effect of

(22:23):
watching your your your currency took a it started tanking
yesterday obviously with what's going on. And then you have
these scenes where the parliament literally carried the car the
Congress or whatever. They can't get in because they've like
chained it off, so they cut in to get in
so that they can hold a vote, or they unanimically
vote to unmartial law, which it's not even clear that

(22:44):
they can just hold a vote to do that. But
then later the president comes back of South Korea and
he's like, dah, just kidding, what what the hell happened.
We'll get into I'll try to explain at a little
bit from what I've learned, but there's there's a there's
a really big question. But let me get back to

(23:05):
this story, very sad story of this young woman who
was bullied to the point of deciding she was going
to end her life, and she did technically, but they
resuscitated her after she hung herself. She was dead for
eight minutes. That caused severe brain damage because of the
lack of oxygen. She now is she has no control

(23:27):
over her body. She's in a wheelchair, she's in you know,
like the tube essentially to keep her breathing. And that's
that's her life going forward, and it has been that
way for two years since the initial incident. But I
want to talk about the kids who did this to her,
because they did one other thing. And it's at this

(23:49):
point I have to ask myself, even though these kids
are twelve and thirteen at the time that they're doing this,
are they redeemable from a societal standpoint? Because after she
hang after she hung herself, after the news of what
happened where, you know, because it's Greenville is not that big,

(24:10):
and school societies or school societies and you know, people talk.
Eventually everyone figured out what happened. She had she'd attempted
to kill herself, and likely they probably knew who her
bullies were. They would see it at school and and
like they knew this, and and one of the kids
who bullied her went to the hospital where she's laying

(24:33):
there on breathing tubes. And I mean, it's the standard
picture you see of somebody who you're like, how is
that person alive? And she's in that bed, in that
most vulnerable of states, and one of these pieces of
garbage goes to the hospital. I don't know if they
lied and said they were there to see somebody else,

(24:54):
or that they were a friend, I would think that
they would control access to her, but they somehow snuck
into the ice. You took photos of this girl intubated,
laying in bed, and then posted the photos on social
media with more bullying and fake rumors of how the
injury transpired. How does that person? How do you? How

(25:21):
will that person be a productive member of society going forward?
At if they're doing that at twelve and thirteen, If
they'd have been so shocked by what happens they actually
started to look at their own behavior, it wouldn't be enough,
but at least it'd be a start. But no, the
reaction was to go for the laughs or the lolls,

(25:45):
or the bullying or the fun or whatever, and take
a picture of this girl who you killed successfully for
eight minutes and then put it on social media to
make fun of her. More, what do you do at
that point? You want to know how school shooters happen.
That's how school shooters happen. She just want a different
route because it's the more. It's the route that more

(26:06):
students will choose to go, which is why bullying in
schools is different than it was when we were in school.
But it's still the same kind of right in the
sense that you can't Anyone who works in a school
knows who the bullies are and knows who the bullied are,
and you can't convince me otherwise you know what's up,

(26:30):
but I don't. I'm not here to pick on teachers
for that. Here's what I want to know. Anyone who
works in a school setting, you know, by the time
they're twelve thirteen, you kind of know what that person's
going to be. It may not be the end all
be all, but you're probably right most of the time.
So how do we live in How do we live
in this scenario where a school stands by and watches

(26:55):
this and a kid feels so embold and what's that
child's home life by I don't know, so I should
call them a child? They're making some really adult decisions
here eight eight, eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
I don't know what the penalty is, but you that
can't go unanswered. That can't go unanswered. And if I
was a parent, I wouldn't want a single one of

(27:17):
my students in orbit of any of these kids, any
of these quote unquote bullies. And yet they're there at
the school. So you again, for the thousandth time, why
do parents sit there? And you know, actually one school vouchers.
It's not just rich kids who want the rich people,
rich mommy, daddy money back. It's people who want some alternative.

(27:39):
How many of how many of you have contemplated or
had to make a change in your child's educational system
because of things like this. Parents do this every it
seems the bullies never really get thrown out, can't really
do that now, So people have to upend whatever they're
doing with their kids kids' lives and and make hard decisions.

(28:02):
And sometimes that can be having to fight the school
district just to get moved to a different school. Well
they said they're going, no, we can't do that. Have
you tried talking to the bully? Have you tried? Have
you tried inviting them over for cookies or something. Shut up?
Have you tried doing your jobs? Have you tried maintaining

(28:22):
your brand so that people, when given the option, actually
still want to send their kids there and they're not
terrified that this would happen to them. Is there's no oversight?
There is not a school in Greenville. These students should
be in with other students. What happened to the bad
kids' school? Do we not do that anymore? We had
a bad kid's trailer? Ross, Do you guys have a

(28:44):
bad kid's school or a bad kids trailer? You know?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
We had a we had an entire school.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, you had what they call it an academy. Did
they tell me they didn't?

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I can't remember what they called it?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember they got they in Minnesota.
They would call them academies, and they'd be like a
little sub school, Like, oh, what's that is that for
the Is that for the Einstein kids? Like, no, that's
for the other kids. That's for the kids who would
steal Einstein's lunch money. And so they'd put them over there.
And I don't know if that's the right answer. It's

(29:12):
probably not in the grand scheme of things, But at
what point do you know a kid is irredeemable and
does something irredeemable from a from a US standpoint? Again,
this is we're not making a religious distinction here, but
you could argue that if you think people are always redeemable,
but you know, during their life from a from a

(29:35):
from a Christianity standpoint, or whatever religious direction you want
to go, then are are you? Are we called upon
ourselves to have that same level of understanding. I don't know.
I'm more of a render undeseazar kind of guy myself,
and we go ahead and deal with this. So I'm
going to go out. I don't think they're redeemable, and
I don't think they should be near other kids.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
My grandma used to say that by the age eleven
or twelve, pretty much knew if someone was a good egg.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. All right, couple things, I'll give you the
little runner on the well. Let's say, actually, let's just
go ahead and get right into it. So South Korea,
what the heck the heck was going on yesday? If
you were only passively paying attention, you probably saw news

(30:22):
alert late morning and it's like North Korea under Marshall Law.
It happened right after almost right after the show. You're like, well,
that doesn't sound good. What do you mean, are the
North Koreans invading or are we going to do this thing?
Did Biden decide to escalate this conflict as well on
his way out? What's happening? And and admittedly I didn't know.

(30:47):
We do When we do South Korea stories, generally they're
based on a North Korea story or some crazy tech
thing that they came up with. And that's going to
be an important component here, because after martial law was declared,
the one hundred and ninety members of their legislature basically

(31:09):
had to trick their way into and in some cases
they cut off some chains or something or have their
staff members form a blockade line so they could all
like slink into the parliament to vote. And then they
voted one hundred and ninety to zero to lift it,
except legally they really couldn't do that. And then eventually

(31:29):
a few hours later, the President of South Korea lifted
the martial law. So, I mean, inside of like eight hours,
all of this played out and we're just all watching,
like what does this mean? Why is this happening, So
let me give you the generic version. And by the way,
this is not a justification. And I do not know

(31:51):
enough about the intricacy of South Korean politics, but I
get now the general sense of where everybody's at. Okay,
so South Korea. South Korea is definitely uh. There there
are two distinct factions in Korean society from a political perspective,
kind of like here where you have you know, it's

(32:13):
you have the right and you have the left, and
they're they're they're they're clearly defined within South Korea, but
maybe some of the positions wouldn't necessarily you couldn't just
be straight right, straight left in the US. It doesn't
completely transfer, but a lot of it does, and a
lot of it's broke down over age. A lot of
it's broke down over age. You have a young society

(32:36):
in many parts of South Korea, uh, and they are
very different and want to be very different from the
very traditional side of of South Korea. Okay, so well
then don't show me the page. And and so what
it creates is it creates kind of that that same
vibe here where if you're young and you're not you're

(32:57):
not a Democrat and you're heartless. If you're old and
not a Republican, you're brainless, or however they would say
it over there in Korean. I don't speak Korean, but
the president is among the more traditional What I guess
you would see is a more conservative side, but definitely
the older school of thought over there, right, and the

(33:18):
younger folks who obviously most of which they grew up
with the boogeyman to the North stuff going on. But
in reality, even if you see reporting, there is a
lot of reporting that happens in South Korea. Now that's
a lot more how do you say, enthusiastic about some

(33:40):
of the tenets of what they believe to be socialism,
even communism. They like that, they want that, and it's
also the part where they think the older people are
hoarding all the money, right okay, And then political people
want to play into that. Politically they run and then
eventually you get a legislature that is very divided from

(34:04):
from the president over there, and they want to start
doing some of this stuff. And it's a little different
how laws originate over there. We don't have to get
into all that, but I think that kind of sets
the scene for it in my mind doesn't justify martial
law obviously, but that that was what was the core
of of this and and and so you have essentially

(34:24):
the AOC crowd who has captured the legislature, and so
the president there, he can't get anything done. They're not
going to do anything. They're going to do stuff that
they want to do, and depending on I think how
monies are attached, they don't even necessarily need him to
sign off on it. I'm I'm a little unclear. So
maybe if we have somebody from South Korea listening they
can fill me in. But from reading, that's what I

(34:46):
understood it to be. And again, don't do the martial
law thing. But if I could, I just ask, could
I ask the UH and and they've and proud of
this guy, right because here's what's gonna happen. Even though
not all the legislature is is definitely to the left,
they are controlling things and they got a unanimous vote yesterday.

(35:10):
And so this president is probably gonna get impeached today
or they'll start the process anyway. But let me ask,
let me ask you this, how do you sit in
the city of Seoul, South Korea? Well within the impact. Right,
it's important because Seoul is obviously the population hub, but

(35:32):
also it's where the majority of these left wing part
of the congressional members over there hail from. And uh,
I don't know how you sit in Seoul, which has
they have these sirens everywhere, right, you have these moments
where you're figure trying to figure out what's happening. You
see military presence if you go to the northern part

(35:54):
of the city everywhere. And by the way, the military
who was part of the they did not have live
Their weapons look to be inert I saw the blue
bolts and some other stuff in there, so they I
don't I don't believe that the rifles they were holding
they could have unless they're going to beat somebody to death.
They couldn't have shot anybody. So but and you have

(36:16):
mandatory service in South in South Korea too, I almost
forgot about that. You have mandatory military service unless you're
in a boy band. I guess I don't know. That's
a thing. Also, k pop's a thing. What sweet hell
is that? But how you sit there and Seul and
go we need we need to adopt some of the
ideas from up there. What are you doing. What are

(36:39):
you doing if you can't fundamentally, look, Korea is the
best in my beIN it's the best example of that
of two ideologies because they were they were then immediately
implemented at the same time on the same it's sharing

(37:00):
the same language or most of it. Anyway, families literally
families at that time in the fifties somewhere North Korea,
some were South Korean and and they just kind of
played out that way. And then you look from the
nineteen fifties and the armistice there or I guess it

(37:24):
is technically an armistice. I guess it's not. There's basically
not shooting it. But how you look at that and
you look at the crazy futuristic city the Soul, South
Korea is it's wild. But those big Asian cities in
Japan and South Korea are it's it's almost it's overwhelming.

(37:47):
Now I've not been I've not been to Soul, but
I have been to Tokyo, Okay, and uh, it's it's
wild stuff. Man, It's it looks like all the futuristic
cities from all the futuristic shows and the amount of
wealth that South Korea. If you look at the world
Economic rankings, they're in the top ten and they have
been for a very long time. They consistently are and

(38:08):
the companies from the from South Korea that are worldwide
global companies, and what it's created, the lifestyle that people
in South Korea are able to maintain. It's one of
the most brand conscious societies in the world. They love brands,
they love smearing themselves in brands, status symbols, all of it.

(38:31):
And you sit there and go, yeah, yeah, okay, But
what about if we listen to some of these guys
who keep having keep having it, not eat because they
ran out of grass which they were eating because they
didn't have other stuff to you, how about we how
do we look into how some of them are doing
stuff that's crazy to me that you would find appealing

(38:56):
some of these items up there that are kind of
a pathway into this stuff, and go, that's what we
want to do. Rogerie said something off there. He said,
it shows the pervasiveness or the poison that is that ideology.
I agree with that, but it's also very tempting because

(39:18):
when you live in a society where there is wealth,
there's a lot of wealth around and you're just you're younger,
you're coming up, and you have it seized that and
you feel that you never will And I understand that frustration,
and I also again I understand the concept that where

(39:38):
people look at it and they go, well, when my
parents were my age, they didn't have it this hard,
And you're right, you're right, things are out of whack
when it comes to but it's also not necessarily their fault.
In all instances. We have a lot more government than
we used to, we have a lot more regulations than

(39:58):
we used to, and and depending on when your parents were,
it may not necessarily be the case. If your parents
were your age when Jimmy Carter with those mortgage rates
was coming up, what do you think their home chances were?
And they had to adapt and overcome. And so when
you see people, when you see that brass ring every day,
because there is wealth in your society that you're that

(40:21):
you're constantly around and you don't have that wealth, people
want it. And there will be people who feel that
the easiest road to going going ahead with that, even
if they're even if they're ideologically pure and what they're
hoping to accomplish, where everybody has the same then they're
just naive, but to then hand it over and sit

(40:42):
there and go and again. I can't speak to Korean
society because I'm not Korean living in that, but I
can understand the concept because we see a play out
with other stuff. We see a play out here where
absolute lunatics get elected to office and they're like, hey,
what we need? Uh, let's have about we build a
train to everywhere and then we don't need cars when
we get rid of all the cows and the planes,

(41:04):
and that includes Hawaii somehow, and then we'll all plant
palm trees or whatever that stupid video was. Wait ready
to run around with that garbage in your head, But
it requires you to offload two of your top three
revenue drivers for the country, agriculture and fossil fuel transportation.

(41:27):
I kind of put up an under one there, But
and you want to purge our society of these revenue drivers,
these top companies, these top industries, and then, of course,
and then everyone can can figure out how to plant mangroves.
That's what it was, mangrove swamps. You're a lunatic and
you're trying to destroy something that well, it's not perfect,
is still better than what's going on in other places.

(41:49):
If you're in South Korea, you can see the other place.
You can go up there the DMZ and hit golf
balls into old minefields. It's true, look it up. It's
the thing you can go do. And yet you're still like,
you know what, we need more of that, But don't worry,
we'll get it right. They just didn't get it right.

(42:13):
So with all of that that I was able to
lazily derive from just reading a couple of articles and
comments and a few other things. The entire crack staff
over at CNN, they went in a different direction.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
I think, just in and of itself in the context
of South Korean history is important. Obviously, we around the
table should talk about why this should be an important
thing for American support. Well, that's what I want to
particularly given that Donald Trump is about to be president
in a number of weeks. Somebody who had said he
wants to use the military to go after his.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Own enemies again, and by the way, that's the new
good people on both sides thing was that us to
use the military to go after his enemies. He's talked
about using the military for staging for immigration purpose, right
but he can't use them in the in in a
military sense. So a lot of it was administrative and

(43:06):
stuff like that. And Biden, by the ways using the
military to ship and do flights, so whatever, And then
he talked about using them to go after drug cartels.
Did I miss where he talked about just right, you know,
running F sixteens because that the only person I've seen
threatening people with nuclear arms is the Democrat member of
Congress from California there, you know, Fang Thang's lover. And

(43:29):
then Joe Biden talking about coming out what was he
coming at us with F fifteen sixteens? I can't remember
what he was talking about, except he wasn't really saying that.
But if I'm using CNN's filter, that would that would
be how i'd reported. So somehow what's going on in
South Korea is Donald Trump's fault because he's coming in

(43:50):
and that shows me, you know, you know, nothing in
the history of South Korea that was easy to derive,
like this isn't even a new thing that they do
over there. They've had some really weird issues back in
the seventies. They had they tried to kill the Prime
Minister of South Korea the president of South Korea, and
they went into martial law in seventy nine, and it's

(44:11):
happened in other places, and it's happened across the political
spectrum there. And don't even get me started on the
infiltration of that weird, creepy colt they had over there
that was able to infiltrate into some members of into
some elements of the government. That was the whole thing.
It's it's it's that's actually a wild story. So now

(44:33):
you've decided that Trump's Trump's going to do that, how
do you think Trump? What do you think Trump, even
people support Trump, would think if Trump went martial law?
Considering the mindset and the paranoia that we have as
Americans a big government, everyone just falls in line. I
think the only people all falling in line that I'm
seeing right now is every one of you who has

(44:54):
came up with the same justification for that pardon going. Well,
he wasn't going to he never lied, but then Trump
started appointing mean people, and then he knew he had
to do something. And I'm just going to ignore the
fact that that thing's eleven years long and covers literally everything.
He's just a good dad. Because that's who I see
falling in line right now, every single person saying the

(45:19):
same thing on every damn show in defense of that
yesterday with a straight face, a straight face, and I
and far more people on that side of the aisle
will fall in line with that, this president's thing that
would be screamed as a constitutional crisis of Trump did
at this pardon, and they'll immediately fall in line with that.

(45:43):
While accusing Donald Trump of wanting to destroy the norms,
which yes, there are a lot of norms he does
want to destroy that are only norms because you've allowed
him to become them. But if he oversteps on something
like that, I don't You got a bunch of people
voted for Trump because they felt that they were abandoned
by other folks, and so if he smacks him at

(46:04):
the dinner table with something like that, they're going to
listen to it. And the reason you go, well, they
don't listen when he lies and say anything, it's because
you lie harder. And so they've picked the team on there,
and they're willing to accept that because they feel the
ends justify the means. It's your own logic. Usually we'll
be back hang on I understand they have been undertaking

(46:25):
for quite a few years now efforts to recapture a
populace that may not have the attention span for a
baseball game. And so they they've done all sorts of stuff,
and they have been successful in bringing the average length

(46:46):
of a baseball game down. I think what twenty five
minutes or something was last time I saw when we
were talking about pitch clock and stuff like that, and
they were explaining how it's worked. But they've done They've
done a variety of things that you can't You can't
consistently harass the guy on first by throwing from the mound.

(47:07):
You can. You can do it what twice and then
if you do it again, there's a penalty for it.
What are some of the other stuff the pitch clock,
obviously they've changed the speed of how other things happen.
Of course there's stuff that's reviewable now, which was less

(47:27):
about that but more about just having consistency, and then
that'll get screwed up. They don't have Angel Hernandez there
anymore to jack things up. What's what I'm missing? We
were just talking about, Oh, not the overtime rule, but
the extra inting's rule with the runner on second. Anybody
thought that, they may think that's a good idea still
or is that just dumb? Because I have something much

(47:50):
dumber for you, And that was this Major League Commissioner
Rob Manfred has introduced for consideration what's called the Golden
at Bat. Oh, dear lord, what is this? What is
the golden at bat? Is that where Sam sam No,
Sam Simon hits that button? What's the show? What's the

(48:14):
show I'm thinking of? Oh, America's got talent, the golden buzzer,
That's what it is. No, it's not that, but it's
it's it's interesting. So here's how the Golden at bat
would work. Okay, who's the best Who's the best Yankees hitter?
Right now? It's got to be Judge, right, He's probably
your top dog there. But pick whatever your team is.
So let's say the Yankees every single game that they

(48:38):
play would have an opportunity once during the game, at
the selection of the team to insert another batter, and
but without the things that happen when you do that, right,
So if you swap a batter out, let's you know,
this is like with pictures back in the day. So
if you don't want your pitcher hitting, and they were

(49:01):
up to bat in the seventh inning, you could pinch
hit somebody for them, but that pitcher's out, and then
now you got a new starting pitcher. That's not how
this would work. You would be able to at one
time per game, at any point, select any one of
your players to go up to bat, and then everything
would just stay the same, from fielding assignments things like that.

(49:24):
They would just get an extra at bat whoever it is. Whoever.
So if the Yankees decide they're in a situation where
they absolutely must they got to get a hit, it's
the eighth inning times ticking down. What are we gonna
do or that part of our lineup we're not comfortable with.
They just be like, hey, judge, you're up again. And
then he goes in and hits. Do you understand what

(49:44):
this does? I don't mean to be the old fogy.
You understand all the stupid scenarios I could immediately think
of in this and others have, and also what that
does to hitting records and pitching records for that matter.
You're a pitcher and you got to face the guy
who's on a hot streak. He's hitting three thirty for
the you know, three thirty, three fifty for the month,

(50:06):
and you got to get an extra at bat. You
got to pitch an extra at bat at that guy.
Your er should feasibly suffer because now instead of pitching
to Judge three times that game or four, you pitch
to him five and Wade Bogs from from the Red Sox.

(50:29):
He brought up a scenario that's a perfectly feasible scenario,
but would be very strange. So let's say Judge does
go up or he used I think Otani in the
example or whatever. But let's say Judge goes up there
and the pitcher is able to get him, and just
it is normal at bat, and now they need one

(50:52):
more out in that one more out in that inning
and game's done. Why would the Yankees manager not go, hey, Judge,
stay up there, go ahead, take three more. That's a
powerful little ducket man. And now Judge gets an extra
opportunity at bat. And if he's a guy who's chasing

(51:13):
some of the records that Bogs either holds or is
in the top ten of which is quite a few.
Guy played a long time, was a very productive hitter,
very I think he does. He still hold the records
for like two baggers, three baggers. I think he was
up there for a while at least on a double.

(51:33):
So my point is, now he can you're kind of
padding those stats, man, you get an extra at bat.
That's a big deal when you're just trying to put
up bulk numbers averages or averages. But when you're just
trying to put bulk dumbers up, you know, hits because
you're chasing Ripkin or whatever or Gwyn every at bat,

(51:55):
every little every little ding out there, every little blooper
that drops in. Man, you're just there is another one.
There's another one. So I don't know. I again don't
want to sound like an old fogy, but this sounds dumb.
But on the flip side, what is it people like
to see when they watch baseball? Now? Not just now?

(52:15):
But what do we like to see? Do you like
to see a pictures duel? Maybe those are fun sometimes,
especially when you got guys who got a lot of
movement on the ball, like some like peak nineties Atlanta Braves, Bullpen,
You're just like, have the ball move there. You got
guys like Glavin just killing it, man. But those could

(52:37):
be fun to watch. But for the most part, if
you go to a ball game, you want to see
a guy hit a home run. Man better yet, you
want to see him hit a home run over to
where you are. If you're sitting out there and you
see a few of those. In my head, I think
of the best baseball games I've ever watched, and they
haven't been pitchers duels. They just have it. Unless you're

(53:00):
in weird like no hit or perfect game stuff which
you don't really know you're in until you're already halfway. Minimum. No,
you want to see, you want to see. You want
to see guys hit dingers, as that kid said, So
maybe fans embrace that stuff. I don't know. People are
telling me, well, why don't you just walk the golden

(53:22):
at bad hitter, because the other when the team's figuring
out who's going to use their golden at bat, they're
not going to put that person in a situation where
they can just walk them and there's no penalty there,
because then they're wasting their golden at bat. They're gonna
put that person in bases loaded, two outs. Okay, so
you can't walk that guy. You got a pitch to him,

(53:44):
or you or you're giving up a run. So I
understand the scenario there, but immediately a manager would be like, well, no,
if I put my guy in, they're just gonna walk him.
So we'll wait and use it when it's uh, when
it's prudent, and and and and they'll use it in
a very tactical way. That will that will then be
kind of the same scenario over and over again, because

(54:07):
that's where math where maths, that's what it makes sense.
And so you'll be able to predict as a fan
if you get comfortable with this kind of where they're
going to use it, and then fans will why didn't
you use it? Just like they're debating why didn't Chicago
call a time out last week? What are you doing? So?
I don't know. If you want to weigh in on that,
you can, that'd be fun. All right, Let me grab

(54:29):
a call here, Jamal, what's going on? Ma Man? Hello?

Speaker 3 (54:32):
Hey, hey, Ksey, what's going on? Casey? Let me say this.
A lot of people don't remember nineteen eighty eight and eighties,
but North Koreans used to stand infiltrators to South Korea,
and these people will join these activist groups and start
convincing people to join North Korea, les reunite the Koreas
with the strong North Korean government and try no tricking

(54:55):
people telling hey, you know, we will you know, respect
your rights, but let's go back and let's do one
Korea because you know, Japan because the World War to
Japan invaded Korea divided about and of course things like that. Now,
in the nineteen nineties when I was in army, North
Korean shot down a American scout shopper shot it down,

(55:17):
and we thought we were going to go to war
when I was in Army den But my point is
this is nothing new. Anybody that's old enough to remember
the nineteen eighties and you remember the political cartoons used
to be in the newspaper. One I will always remember KC.
It showed the nineteen eighty eight Olympics, and it showed
the country's mascot. It showed the US of course the

(55:38):
American Eagle, USS all the Russian bear. But for CEO,
it showed the riot police because they was rioting this bad.
This is nothing more than a continuation of more North
Koreans trying to convent South Koreans. And now, like you
said earlier, this love with socialism and being you know,

(55:59):
the rich don't pay that fair share. Well, that's why
I'm for North Korea propaganda. So if they're not surprised
if they're trying to stick people in with these crazy activists,
because we're not. But what we do over here is
amplified what they do over there with activism, and they're
rioting and protest. So the North Korean president is like, no,

(56:21):
I'm not even having this because that because people don't
know they're still at war. Yes, you know, people don't
know that it's an artist it's over there.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, they're just they're currently in a standstill.
So yeah, and it's a form you can't. You can't
martial law like just like that, you know, latterly, especially
when people within your own party were willing to also
fight their way into the parliament, like you didn't read

(56:52):
the room and vote against.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
No, no, no, I was saying what he did was right. No,
let me make sure you did.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Yeah, he did. His own people voted against him too, so.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
Part, well, yeah, that is true because there was unanimous
don't do this. But people have to understand that what's
been going on in South Korea for so long, with
these riots and protests and historians getting over in the
nineteen eighties, Oh my god, people will.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Stay seventy nine, some of those same provocateurs a couple
with all that cult stuff. I mean, that was that
led to that assassination attempt and the previous martial law
implementation there. So you're right, it's been going on for
a very very long time. But you know, this guy,
maybe he should have called some of the folks in

(57:44):
his party and been like, hey, if I do this thing,
you'd be cool with that, because it doesn't look like
he did it. And now, and and the hit they
took with intra day or inter day whatever the part
of the day trading is on their own current. She
was brutal. If you shorted the what what is it

(58:05):
over I don't even know what it is over there
with their currencies, But if you shorten their currency, yes, today,
any timed it right. You made a lot of money.
I made a lot of money. I know. No, it's
not the dong that's Vietnam. I wish it was because
then we could say that again. Seven forty seven raced
ag X here no money needed, free weather or the

(58:25):
asking no read ahead, sir, Yeah, yeah, cold.

Speaker 5 (58:29):
Some have dipped into the upper teens.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Most of us near twenty are just.

Speaker 5 (58:32):
Above this cold air mass retreats, but another one's going
to replace it, and by Friday morning we're just as
cold once again. So we'll have a good looking day.
It's a beautiful morning, but it is cold, upper forties
this afternoon tonight in the thirties, so with the southwest
flow out ahead of the next system, it is milder,
and then we'll get to the upper forties, low fifties tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
The winds are going to gus.

Speaker 5 (58:52):
There are some wind advisories the further west you go,
and then the cold war comes in, and by Friday morning,
as I said, we are probably in the upper teens
to low twenty again and only in the upper thirties
to low forties in the afternoon, So cold Friday coming
in cold Friday night. Saturday, we'll start getting milder in
the upper forties Sunday close to sixty as we quickly jump,

(59:12):
so milder weather. And next week Casey does look like
it's going to be milder and a little damp too,
as we'll get some wet weather in here. Doesn't look
like any wintery precpt. Maybe in the mountains, but uh,
you know, after a cold week this week overall, I
think we'll see some mild the air come in ACC
Championship Saturday night. It's gonna be cold, so bundle up

(59:33):
and no precpt. Better think the winds are going to
die down.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
You anticipated my follow up question. Oh okay, an old
group of guys, I know they've been on. Okay, tell
they're all going down. They're all excited. So yeah, all right, anyway,
thank you very much, sir, appreciate it, all right, and
we will be right back. Hang on about Arizona State
University professor Crystal Jackson. Uh, let's see, what do you
need to know about Crystal? Does she have those oddly

(59:57):
oversized glasses And I've never seen in a store anywhere,
and yet these cats always find them. Yes, purple hair check,
andy check check pronouns they she so AnyWho? Uh she has? Uh,
she's she staked out a pretty interesting position. We're just
reading the headline. Arizona State professor says stopping sex trafficking

(01:00:19):
is anti immigrant, racist, and transphobic. She's come out pro
sex trafficking I'm I'm not saying this is why martial
law happens, but like you're surrounded by insane people and
she's influencing kids in Arizona State.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
All right, imagine she's watching take it and she's like
on the side of the sheek.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Yes, yeahs like girls a new job, you live on
a yacht. Why would you stand in her way? Never
mind she was kidnapped.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Yeah, we considered his point of view. You know, we
need like a wick for the she from taking the
Sheik from taking the guy showed up to the sex
slave auction to buy himself an eighteen year old girl
from California.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
That that wan that chic I got right there? Okay,
well you know what, I bet Sheiking is very busy, right,
you got a sheic, your chic it all day doing
chic stuff, got chic meetings shes. This is why you
always see them working so hard on the on the boat.
But okay they don't so but he's a busy dude
doing all the king. Do you think he's got time

(01:01:35):
to go out and kidnap his own sex slaves? No,
you go to a wholesaler, you absolute lunatic? All right,
explain to me because we're not talking. And then immediately
she goes into this thing. I wish there was audio,
but it's part of a cloud. The thing she teaches.

(01:01:56):
It's literally in a PowerPoint document. What is it? What
is this damn thing called? Well, anyway, it doesn't matter.
But basically, basically this is this is something that she's
she didn't just say, she put together as a lesson plan.
There is a point that I'm trying to make. Here
we go queer ex faculty flash talks event. All right,

(01:02:20):
So in addition to that, the speech or the speech
or the presentation includes, let's see condemnation of the anti
trafficking movement due to the devian framing of sex workers.
They're not sex workers by choice when you're talking about this. Okay,

(01:02:45):
here's the thing. If if some twenty five year old
chick wants to go to Las Vegas and apply the
oldest trade over there, I think the majority of Americans,
unless it's in their neighborhood, outside of moral or religious objections,
don't see it as the biggest issue going. Say an
article about this, Arizona State Professor, Uh, it's saying that

(01:03:12):
sex traffic, the stopping of sex trafficking is anti immigrant, racist,
and transphobic, Okay, since we're seemingly not going to delineate
one adults versus children or even adults. But who are
are being are are in it for under duress, okay,

(01:03:34):
and the and there is a line there. There are
people like there are people that you and you've seen
it on maybe you wouldn't believe it unless you've seen
the only fans. There are a lot of people who
are perfectly comfortable working in that industry. And if that's
what they want to do legally, that's one thing. And
nobody's sports. That is one thing, right, and they can
go to the bunny ranch or one of the others

(01:03:55):
or whatever. But that's we're talking about. We're talking about people,
most of them foreign in this case, who are brought here.
And yes, there are some who may work in the
sex industry in the country they're from where, you know,
in a lot of places where it's legal where these
folks come from, and then they come to the US

(01:04:17):
and if they're willing to do the work there, they
want to do the work in the US because a
lot more money to be made, right. But also there's
people who out of sheer desperation, make these deals with
the devils man, and as a result, they are literally
paying for services, coyote services, or there are debts that

(01:04:39):
are owed by their family and now that's duress man.
They get them to the US. If you've never seen
some of these places in like Texas, at Arizona, New
Mexico down by the border, even California where they have
these they bring they bring these women in and then
they stick them in a house generally you know, kind

(01:04:59):
of in a more rural area, and that's what they
do all day. And if they try to leave, good luck.
Their families could get killed. If they try to leave
and or disobey, they're threatened with essentially removal. We'll just
hand you over to authorities. And while that may be
a more empty threat now because literally we look at

(01:05:19):
stuff like this, this what this woman is saying that
needs to go, would would open that faucet wide open.
Here we go. Sixty four percent of women traffic for
exploit exploitation are forced into this into sex slavery, so
not even the majority of them that they talk to
once they bust these places claim that in any way,

(01:05:42):
shape or form, they agreed to this or at the
very least agreed to whatever it turned into. And this
lunatic is like, no, no, what you gotta do is
you got to stop the human trafficking groups because they're
quote anti immigrant, racist and homophobic. So how does she
want to fix it? Because she wants them to get

(01:06:02):
rid of the foster It's called the FOSTA Act and
there's another one too, but basically those are the laws.
One is the online foster is the online one, and
then the trap here it is Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
So she wants those out because those are racists. So
how would it work. Well, she says that first we

(01:06:25):
need a full decriminalization of sex work first and foremost,
and now that it would be then be legalized. Here's
how it would work. A person in the United States
could sponsor, just as if you were hiring a pitcher
for your baseball team or you're a staff or like
an old Brucero program where we have these work permits,

(01:06:47):
they could go and they could sponsor these. You know,
a girl and I'm assuming guys as well, but primarily
it's women from another country to come here to essentially
be their sex slave or they're sex provider. Now, I
know what you're saying, like, well, what about those guys
go marry the Russian brides? I hear you, but that's
not what we're talking about here, because under those programs,

(01:07:12):
they got to marry him and then they got to
go through special like visas and all of this stuff. Again,
I watched my buddy marry a Canadian girl and I
remember the process he went through with all this stuff,
and it wasn't this lurid thing. They actually liked each other.
So this is that's crazy. So instead of the instead
of the pimp thing or the or the cartel, now

(01:07:34):
they just have a legalized sponsor. Can I open it?
Can I open an emporium on this stuff? Right? Well,
little Baskin Robbins all the flavors kind of thing. Right.
You see some guy pouring over his computer on my website.
He's like, I don't know, Mexican or Italian and they're like, oh,
you're ordering food. No, not exactly. So the thing is

(01:07:56):
the reason for these for women any up in these
situations and a lot of instances is because of that
outside pressure. I just talked about where they owe a
debt for essentially getting you know, getting people across into
the United States and how they pay that debt. This
is how they do it. So if if this is
something that you're being forced to do, because now one

(01:08:19):
of your relatives might find themselves essentially hung from a
wire by an angry cartel to send a message to
other people, you do what you do, but you do
so under duress, and this doesn't solve any of that. Also,
if that person was to come here and then quit
or raise alarm because you've now actually communicated those two

(01:08:40):
laws because they're quote unquote races, then that person would
just be like anybody, like anybody else who had a
visa to work in the United States or a visa
to go to college in education, then to stop doing it,
you would be subject to removal. That's a that's a

(01:09:01):
ten year college professor right there. That's the absolute lunacy
that I hope that the Trump administration was some of
the stuff that they're wanting to do, like bringing in
was it Corey di'angelo to help purge and the way
that they'll purge it is that if you're if you're
if you're getting a bunch of tax dollars and you're

(01:09:23):
doing things that are inherently illegal in some instances, but
at the very least are detrimental to the idea of
going and getting, you know, a further in education. I
saw a stat This is a crazy stat. Do you
know from the National Institute of Health the percentage of
the allocated dollars that went to far left ideological things

(01:09:45):
ten years ago versus today, specifically surrounding a lot of
the transgender stuff. Do you know what the percentage of
fundy from the National Institute of Health, which is you know,
gives these grants for medical research and for things like,
you know, things along those lines. It was point three
percent ten years ago. It's now a third of the
grants that they make. Do you think do you think

(01:10:08):
that's a do you think that that is a proper
use of it? Or is it a show that's turned into
just a big slush fund for all of this stuff.
The answer is the second one. So if you can
better control of those dollars go, then uh, maybe you
don't empower this person like Crystal Jackson to go over
there and speak so comfortable advocating for sex slavery openly

(01:10:29):
and not worried that there would ever be consequences for
that and the consequences or not she goes to jail.
The consequences are that you normal people look at that
and go, Dear God, that person's not teaching kids, are
they Well, I'm not sending my kid there, or are
my tax dollars aren't going to support that? Because I've

(01:10:52):
never seen someone openly advocate for this in a position
and to feel comfortable doing it like that is Uh,
it's pretty wild to me, all right, eight fourteen Cacoday
Radio program. Hang on all these cities who go and
they waste all your money on stupid things like equity
and diversity directors and pet projects, and you know, it

(01:11:12):
never really funnels down in the way that it used
to to things like public safety. And so then they
got to figure out other revenue sources and never for
a moment go hey, maybe we shouldn't spend so much
damn money. So like a lot of places things are
places that used to be free to park, well, let's
go ahead and build people on those and employ a

(01:11:35):
team of traffic cops to meter maids to make sure
we're extracting the maximum amount of money and or penalty
from somebody who just wants to pop in for five
minutes and grab a sandwich at some downtown business, which,
by the way, is now being impacted because of the
parking fees because it makes people less likely to want
to come there. City of Rochester, here we go, it

(01:12:00):
was time to go ahead and start draining motorist wallets.
So they went and they utilized their own system kind of,
and they created these QR codes. Now, why do you
think using QR codes, which I think there's a QR
code on the Raleigh one too, but it's plate derivative
and you do it on the machine here, so they

(01:12:21):
didn't have to have the individual mechanized parking meters. They
have QR codes and then you scan the QR code
and you pay completely online, which you can do with
some of the other meters, but there's also the option
to do it at point of meter. What do you
think immediately happened? These geniuses never for a moment it
across their mind that some dude who is a scam artist,

(01:12:48):
all he had to do was in the middle of
the night go and cover the QR sticker with all
of his own stickers. So they implement the program in
the city's like, why isn't money coming in and they
read in this one section, this one area of Rochester,
because almost immediately somebody went and checked the QR codes

(01:13:10):
and it turns out of the seven hundred meters in
one of the busiest areas, he selected twenty on this block,
put his own sticker on, and everybody's been paying out
of this and it's all you know, it all goes
to a payment site that's from like Romania or something,
so they can't figure out who did it. And now
they're like, well, what are we gonna do with the
Just keep covering up the QR codes. I don't know,

(01:13:31):
maybe not harassed people want to go to your downtown
that you're trying to revitalize, you absolute lunatics. Maybe spend
your money a little more. Uh, I don't know, respectfully,
precisely and in the interest of your actual citizenry. Just
a theory. So this is pretty crazy. Then get into

(01:13:53):
this here book. Oh come on, there you go, all right.
I don't know what. I don't know what to believe.
What do you receive the YMCA song as Is it
a gay anthem? Is it just a fun thing to
dance to? Is it a song that Trump uses on
the regular, which it is. Yeah, But you know, what's

(01:14:14):
what's your perception of the village people. I think most
people most people think of when they think of the
village people, they think of obviously YMCA and all that stuff,
and in the Navy and all the rest, But they
think of it as something that was at the very
least embraced by the gay community. That's undeniable. So I
find it interesting. And I don't have beef with this

(01:14:35):
dude in any way, shape or form. I just find
it interesting because they kind of tried to drag him
into the the anyone, anyone who has even anything that
they unknowingly is utilized by anyone around Trump. What is
the what's the first thing the media and these activists do.
They call the person like, we're all gonna we're never

(01:14:56):
gonna buy your music again. If you don't stop him,
can't do it. And then you get these stupid artists
like Dave Grohl who come out who I had a
lot of respect for and I have zero respect for
now that and the whole wife thing, but that's another story,
come out and they lie to you and they go,
we didn't give permission, Yes you did, you did because

(01:15:18):
you participated in the licensing of your music with ASKAP
or BMI, and as a result, you did that so
you didn't have to individually work out license deals with
radio stations and live venues and all of the things,
because it's a complex process and people should be paid
for their work. And this is the best scenario. But

(01:15:39):
you you did it. And as a result, the Trump campaign,
like that bar down the street who wants to have
a music license, or this radio station, well maybe not
this one we're talking, but you get the gist. They
go and they do licensing deals and then they do
so through these the big licensing groups as CAT, BMI,

(01:16:00):
and there's some smaller ones. But and that's how it goes.
And so nobody broke any law. Nobody did anything. You
were having to do a little show for you know,
some of your hardcore moon that people who you've overestimated
as being your only fans, and you then alienate other people.
It's wild to me. So when Victor Willis, who is

(01:16:22):
a founding member of the Village People, he was the
cop I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
They started getting into him because Trump kept using YMCA
and what they wanted is they wanted him to come
out and go this, this will not stand, We will
not allow this. And he went a very different direction.
So he wrote a lengthy Facebook post yesterday explaining that
the song was based on his perception of the YMCA.
Says he grew up in uh in An oak Oakland

(01:16:53):
or Sacramento, northern California, very black community, art part of
the Oakland community, and h everyone in the neighborhood. We
go to the YMCA, go to the YMCA, and it's
and by the way, this isn't a black or white
thing or rule or busy. We had a Wya Buffalo.
Wyoming was very I don't know if it's still the same.
They were very proud that they had the They were

(01:17:14):
this town the smallest town in America with the YMCA.
So we had a YMCA, and you know what everyone did.
They went to the YMCA because you know, I basketball courts,
had a pool, sauna, uh you know, do all that stuff,
especially when the snow's falling. We were always over there,
always over there. And so he's just saying, look, when
I was a kid, me and the boys meaning me

(01:17:35):
and my friends, we go to YMCA. We played basketball,
we gamble, which I never did that at the YMCA.
But sure, do what you want. That's what he's talking about.
And he said that the reason he's not stopping Trump
I was put in a nutshell is because everyone perceives
it has been that it was a song written about
guys who were going to the YMCA, and it's but

(01:17:58):
it's a gay thing. And he's just like, it's not.
But it's also is if you want it to be,
can be whatever you want it to be. He goes,
I just wrote a song and yes, obviously my writing
partner is gay, and I don't remember how many of
the village people are gay. But like he he doesn't see,
he's doesn't have a beef. He just said, you all
think this song is this one thing, and it's not.

(01:18:20):
And so if Donald Trump's using in that capacity, it
tells me that he understands it's just a song that
makes you feel good. I think it's his last official
state visit thing. I has decided to head to Angola,
and yeah, so he's over there and I saw a

(01:18:41):
little rundown of some of the stuff they were gonna,
you know, the reason for the season over there. But
yesterday it is a little press conference. There was another item.
I didn't realize he was going to be doing. And
I'm just gonna warn you when I played the audio,
you gotta have some questions as to why this is
the thing he's doing, and especially if you know you're

(01:19:02):
if you have any knowledge of what has transpired in
western North Carolina, which I'm assuming almost everyone does. So
with that in mind, what is Biden overdoing in Angola well,
among other things.

Speaker 6 (01:19:14):
Then no, that's the right thing for the wealthiest nation
in the world to do. And today I'm announcing over
one billion dollars in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced
from homes by historic droughts and food and security for
you know, African leaders and citizens are seeking more than
just aid, you seek investment. So the United States is

(01:19:35):
expanding our relationship all across Africa, from assistance to aid,
investment to trade, moving from patrons to partners. Help bridge
the infrastructure gap. I was told, by the way, when
I got elected, I could never get an infrastructure bill passed.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
And by the way, what does your infrastructure bill have
to do with Angola? I guess would be that, Quie,
there are a lot If anyone ever want to have
an honest conversation about why Africa lags and eliminate the
human part of it. Okay, right, eliminate that, Eliminate you know,

(01:20:15):
generational poverty, eliminate, eliminate all of these things. Just look
at the land. Africa is not set up to flourish
and facilitate large scale economic growth because of the geography.
They do not have for the most part, they do

(01:20:37):
not have deep water ports. They have the largest amount
of landlocked countries, and a lot of that is in
force militarily and and quite brutally. But that's the human
part again. So let's just go back to the geography.
Other than the Nile, they do not have navigable rivers
for any extensive lengths of stretches. And in fact, excuse me,

(01:21:02):
the largest amount, the largest other river there, the Congo River,
while it has the capacity for most of it has
such a steep because what Africa is once you just
get in about one hundred miles is it's a giant
butte i guess or plateau. And so the problem you
have is that these rivers when they're making their final runout,

(01:21:25):
they're not subtle, they're not slow, and so it it
is a recipe to make things more difficult. The Mississippi
River might have been one of the largest reasons the
US was so prosperous. It's if you were to put
a piece of land together and ask for all the

(01:21:46):
stuff that you want to facilitate growth and expansion of
that land. You would want one deep water ports, and
you would want large internal ports so that you can
expand and build things, which are East Coast provides. In fact,
I saw a stat that if you get up around
Hampton Roads and all the Chesapeake and you just count

(01:22:07):
the shoreline for all of that up there, there is
more shoreline just in that span of the Chesapeake up
to and including what you have to go all the
way up in like Philadelphia and everything, and it was
the James River. But if that whole area right there,
there is more, there's more harbor space, a coastal space.

(01:22:28):
So it has to be coast, but it has to
be to have the facility for a boat to literally
pull up to it in that area than on the
entire continent of Africa. And we had that, and then
we have internally we have all this land with a
navigable river in it, so you can go, you can
take a boat up to about Saint Cloud, Minnesota. If

(01:22:51):
you want to lock through everything but get north of
the Twin Cities all the way down obviously to the
Gulf of Mexico. That's huge and that is what spurs
economic growth and allows infrastructure all of these things. So
with that in mind, you could have that adult discussion
or or you just throw more money at it with

(01:23:12):
minimal oversight. And I don't know what the answer is,
but this type of infrastructure, like that train they want
to put across Africa, that thing is going to be
a criminal nightmare from various groups who don't want it,
who will exploit or utilize it. And frankly, every section
of it that they've done so far has not worked
real well because you still have to have the stuff.

(01:23:32):
You got a ship. And I don't know what the
answer is, but I do know that you're flying all
the way to Angola, sir. To stand there and start
it off by talking about a billion dollars for storm victims?
What do you think people in North Carolina think about that?
Who are even sympathetic to people in Angola in other

(01:23:53):
parts of Africa. It's it again, it's this disconnect where
it's the five thousand dollars a dipen for people who
came here illegally, and you just took it on the road, says,
take this show on the road. If we want to
irritate some people, that should be people should be angry
about that. No, what are they angry about? Donald Trump
joking about Canada being the fifty first state and then

(01:24:15):
posting dumb memes of him standing on the top of
a mountain which looks to be in the Alps, because
I think that's the thing that's mom blanc in the distance.
It would be old Canadian flag and a smile on
his face. That's what you're mad about. And then you're
and then you're on talk shows talking about it. Bernie
Sanders is taking it. You know, Oh you can't do that.
Here's why. Well, one, yeah, you end up on the Canadians.

(01:24:39):
But two, if they offered you Canaday, you should probably
think about it. I don't know if you know this.
They're the second largest in land area and you would
control essentially essentially thirty to forty percent of the Arctic
at that point, or at least the passable portions of it.
That's huge, right, you know that the big you know

(01:25:01):
that the big plan as as things continue to change
from a glacial standpoint and a freezing standpoint, We're not
gonna get an argument over who's who's causing this or that.
The reality is the things change, right, things changed, Areas
then get warmer, and then they get cooler eventually, and
then it freezes up more. They're on the cusp up

(01:25:21):
there of being able to have a shipping lane that's
pretty reliable and that's where people are going to go through.
And in fact, Alaska may have been the single smartest
thing that the US has ever acquired if that's the case,
because they would have a we would have a near
monopoly on the facilities, which would essentially be the you know,

(01:25:42):
the touchoff point for the Western hemisphere, and that includes
all of the all of the the repackaging, the loading,
unloading of cargo ships and then sending out other cargo ships.
It it eliminates a lot of the monetary stuff that
goes to Panama now, so they're not happy, but the
US would get that and we would essentially control shipping lanes,
which is very powerful, very powerful if you're Panama on

(01:26:06):
you tell a country that they can't cross through the
canal or if you control the canal system up there
in Turkey and you won't let you won't let any
US military ship pass through there, which is currently the
law up there. Meanwhile, Russia can bop around up up
up above of the passage do whatever they want, terrorize people. Well,

(01:26:29):
the US would have that level of control, Like there's
a lot of really crazy interesting discussions gonna be had here.
And meanwhile you're handing out money while some lunatic in
western North Carolina it's like, well, we can't let people
live in these houses because they're not They don't even
get a certificate of occupancy. But what do they just
want to live there for a month now? And their
homage built? Like what do the homist know about? Like

(01:26:50):
I listen to lunatics like that, you're in Angoli? Give
them money away?

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
I do doesn't care. Man, he has he has lost
the ply lost a plot a while ago, and now
it's it's like it's like the like the vengeance Tour,
except I'm subconscious. I even don't think he knows he's
doing it any who. All right, eight forty four raced
Agic Weather Channel. He's uh, he's here with us let's
chat with him. How are you doing, sir? We're doing

(01:27:16):
all right? So cold, yeah, getting better.

Speaker 5 (01:27:22):
Yeah, and another shot comes in later tomorrow for Friday
morning and Friday and then it gets better. I think
next week really is going to be where we see
the noticeable changes now looking at milder week, a damp
week with in some spots Tuesday maybe seventy so yeah,
maybe seventy a triangle. Yeah, so you know, Raleigh, Durham

(01:27:45):
in and around Fayetteville temperatures upper sixties near seventy. So
in the short term, it's still more seasonable than we've
been as it's cold this morning, but we will get
probably to the upper forties today most spots and then
low fifties tomorrow. Now, tomorrow morning's a big changes to
mid upper thirties for overnight low. So take a look
right now. Yeah, you're probably mid upper twenties in most spots.

(01:28:08):
And then as I said, the winds will start to
pick up. Will be southwest at first tomorrow afternoon and
then shift around to the northwest and the front will
come through, and Friday morning we're back to where we
are this morning, so you know, don't put that heavy
jacket too far away and only near forty on Friday Saturday,
close to fifty upper forties to mid forties for most
of US. Mid upper fifties on Sunday and Sunday, and

(01:28:30):
then Monday the chance of showers with the sixty degree
temperatures come back. Tuesday at chance of showers, as we're
probably going to get once again close to the mid
upper sixties, maybe seventy with enough sunshine. I think later
in the week we'll see more precent maybe a heavier
rain event around Wednesday Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
But as I.

Speaker 5 (01:28:45):
Mentioned, early next week, middle of next week, damp, milder,
and then we may turn slightly cooler toward the end
of the week.

(01:31:28):
previously been a thing thinking about getting back together. And uh,
and they're driving on I eighty five. They're in Georgia
and the mood hits and why not. You know, they're
trying to get back together, maybe said the old flame
was rekindled. And so they did what most of us
would do. They decided they were going to make a

(01:31:48):
little pit stop. No not at a roadside motel or
anything like that. No not. We've been parked I guess
maybe oddly in the back of a rest stop somewhere,
which probably isn't a good idea, but at the very least,
if it's maybe you get away with it now. No, no, no,
They pulled into the Raceway gas station and then just
got went to town man. According to officers, you know,

(01:32:17):
people could see what was going on in there, so
by the time they responded, they located a white female
on top of a black female and each of their parts. See,
initially they identified the one as a man, and it
turns out it was actually a woman and whatever. But yeah,
you also can't do it in the middle of the

(01:32:40):
Raceway parking lot at a gas pump by my dad

I was I was just at age. Yeah, that's why.
That's why I made that noise right.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
Well, yeah, because at first I saw this and I
was like, I thought, I thought the story was going
to be that the uh, you know, the the the
person had sex with like an eighty year old or something.
She looks super old, like she's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
Yeah, it's uh yeah, and her her her her friend
is thirty seven, and that looks like an old thirty
seven too. But you're right now, it's it's been a
rough I don't know, I don't know. And you know what,
here's the thing. I don't want to pick on her
for the old stuff. Probably a lot of drug use.

You can't do that. The raceway parking lot people are
gonna notice, They're going to say things. That's not even
the creepiest picture we have. Have you guys seen the

hundred million in CGI for Tommy Lee Jones with a
giant nose. Meanwhile, Peter Dinklige basically a kneecapped all the
other uh you know, workers who would normally have these roles,

(01:34:39):
and it forced Disney into there, and that's, you know,
that's got to be one of the sweetest money making
gigs if that's physically a role that you you would
you could function in because you are a dwarf for
a little person or any of the rest, and they
just want to act in. Dinkledge man, he he got
in there and established himself as as the you know,
the go to actor of that genre and then basically

(01:35:01):
pulled up the little ladder behind him
