Speaker 1 (00:01):
Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
Carrol Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Tuesday morning, seventh day of October. I'm Wes, thanks for
joining me. A lot to talk about this morning. First
of all, yesterday's press conference the chief of police in
Chicago clarifying I guess details. There were these reports that
(00:31):
there were calls by federal agents in Chicago for assistance
while dealing with some protesters, if you want to call
them protesters. Things got violent and there were calls for
police to assist. There were reports that the police were
not we're told to not go and assist with the
(00:56):
federal agents. The Chicago Police chief we wanted to clarify
with a speech yesterday or with a press conference that
that wasn't the case, that there were some layers to
what had happened, and was explaining that there were some
vehicles that had rammed into some federal vehicles, pushing one
(01:17):
off the road. There were multiple instances of vehicles I guess,
slamming into federal vehicles, and he wanted to clarify and
say this where some of the confusion came in because
there were different instances involved, and the important thing that
took place the most important thing that took place was
(01:37):
the Chicago Police chief, who is black. That's just for
the purposes of understanding a little bit more where some
of this rhetoric is coming from, where this accusation that
every ice agent or every federal employee, or every police
officer or whatever is somehow racist. That's the only reason
(01:59):
I mentioned his race in this. But he clarified and
wanted to make sure that the people of Chicago understood
that federal law enforcement that were in Chicago, that are
in Chicago, that are serving their responsibilities in Chicago, are
(02:25):
in fact law enforcement agents, and they should be treated
and respected as such. And he wanted to make sure
that people understood that by engaging with them in a
hostile way, it would be treated and considered the same
as if confronting or treating And I guess, really, if
(02:47):
it's a federal agent, maybe they need to also take
a minute and understand that they're dealing with federal agents
and not just local law enforcement. Not that they all
shouldn't be treated with the same respect, but he did
make sure to stress that people needed to get that
out of their head that somehow, because they were federal agents,
that they weren't to be treated the way that local
law enforcement is expected to be treated. And I thought
(03:10):
that was very important. I think that this idea, in
this notion that we have been having spread around on
us to citizens that somehow federal agents, when they are
working for a presidential administration that you don't like, somehow
(03:32):
you don't have to obey their laws. Well that's not
what we're being told, is it. What we're being told
is if the federal agents work for Republican administration, then
you don't have to obey the law, you don't have
to respect them, you don't have to give them the
courtesies the space to do their jobs. That somehow they
(03:54):
are gestapo, right, they are some sort of secret military police.
And it's refreshing when someone in one of these cities
that is high up is able to say, look, you
should not get in their faces, you should not confront them,
you should not box them in with a vehicle. They
(04:16):
are going to assume that an ambush is taking place,
and they are going to deal with people in that
circumstance as if an ambush is taking place. I thought
that was really important to be said out loud, because
it's not something that we're hearing out loud from different
leaders in the Democrat Party, people who think that they
(04:40):
are going to be the next leaders of this party
that is dwindling and struggling and bleeding members right now.
They're struggling. The Democrat Party has this vision of we're
going to keep pushing things to the left. We're going
to find leaders that will push things to the left.
(05:00):
And this idea or notion of protecting folks that are
in the country illegally, that are wanted criminals who have
been given their notice that you're going to be deported,
even if they have somehow managed to get a driver's
license and permission to vote and have secured a job
without any sort of correct paperwork to do so, you're
(05:24):
still going to be gotten and you're still going to
be taken away, especially when you have criminal charges. So
we're hearing this repeatedly about well, it's just an extension
of weaponizing the justice system. I've talked about this for years.
I can remember there was a point during the twenty
(05:47):
twenty election during COVID and there were a few people
from the White House that I regularly had on the show.
I was sitting in on press briefings from the White House.
I was on those calls and got some time with
members of the cabinet. I had time with some members
(06:11):
of the Trump family, and I can remember one person
who was part of the communications team that I talked
with pretty regularly, and I remember some of the verbiage
that I had specifically about It was something to do
with exactly the way that I worded it, about the
fact that you see these things that Republicans get accused of,
(06:35):
and what that really means is Democrats are already doing it,
and they've been doing it for months or years. And
this one person, we finished our interview that morning, and
then he was on Fox maybe in whatever the nine
o'clock show is on Fox, and he said word for
word what I'd said. And I got a call from
(06:56):
a friend who said, I just heard so and so
using your exact line that you used with him on
the radio this morning on Fox. And we got to
kick out of that, which is fine. It just means
that he agreed with me, and he took that point
over to that other interview. And this is a good
example of exactly that. As the left is making these
(07:20):
accusations saying that the right is now weaponizing federal law
enforcement against who exactly illegal immigrants, people who came in
the country, committed crimes, came in the country with criminal
records to begin with, or have criminal records since they've
(07:41):
been here in some cases in and out of jail
while they've been here. And they're saying that ICE hiding
behind those masts like a secret police. And we're hearing
that kind of verbiage from the people who think they're
going to be the next step of leadership. Gavin Newsom,
you know, trying to get the masks off, got to
(08:03):
take the mask. What are you hiding from? And now
we've had some stories here lately in the news about
agents who've been docked, photos taken of them, people trying
to tell these antiva they're not terrorists, but they're threatening
to go to people's houses and you know, try to
(08:24):
scare them into not going to work, or scare their families,
or try to intimidate them from doing their jobs. And
you've got someone like Gavin Newsom who you can only
say that trying to make them take their masks off
in public while they're doing their jobs would put them
in more danger. We just saw this play out with
(08:46):
Charlie Kirk. Now, this isn't a case of take the
mask off and you're in danger, but the verbiage and
the implications that are there, and we've seen this now
play out in this race in Virginia for the Attorney
General office, as you've got a candidate on the left
(09:10):
who has used this horrific verbiage basically saying that a
political opponent needed to be shot, that the family needed
to die, and that basically the family needed to die
because that's the only way to get the attention of Republicans.
So this is all out there. This is all out there.
(09:31):
It's been put into the air, into the atmosphere, This
is out into the ether. This is what is out there,
and we're just pretending that people are not in any
way trying to tone this down and making these accusations
(09:55):
that this is a somehow, this is Republicans overstepping their
bounds and using this secret police, and the fact that
they are continuing to put people in danger, that they
are continuing to threaten and try to scare people. Now,
(10:19):
let's jump into this story because this is a fresh
story that relates to weaponizing the Justice Department and no
it's not this administration, it's the previous administration. Because, as
I've been quoted as saying on Fox News, when they
accuse Republicans of something, it means they've been doing it
(10:39):
for a while already. And this comes from I want
to quote the source on this. This document I guess
ended up with with Fox News Digital, and it's basically
according to their reporting to a document recovered by FBI
(11:05):
Director Cash Betel and obtained by Fox News Digital titled
CAST Assistants, dated September twenty seven, twenty twenty three, CAST
referring to the FBI Cellular Analysis Survey Team. So what
we have is Jack Smith, who was basically himself a
(11:26):
weapon turned loose on Donald Trump and anyone close to him,
and he was the special attorney who was going after
going after Trump. Special counsel Jack Smith. So it says
he tracked the communications by a dozen Republican senators during
(11:52):
the January sixth probe. And this I'm looking at the
actual document here. Now, this was I guess, some of
the work of Dan Bongino, the assistant director of the FBI.
So basically what was happening is they were analyzing calls
(12:14):
made by and who the call made by these Republicans,
who they were calling, when they were calling, the location
origin maybe of some of the calls that were coming
into them, and Arctic frost, I guess was the name of.
This was opened inside the bureau April thirteenth, twenty twenty two.
(12:35):
Smith was appointed in November twenty twenty two. So basically, yes,
the FBI deputy director, that's his title, not assistant. But
you get the idea. Bongino is working with those lawmakers
on that discovery of the surveillance that was done. So
he spent a good chunk of his day yesterday working
(12:57):
on that. Vongino told Fox News Digital, it's a disgrace
that I have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal
this that the FBI was once weaponized to attack the
private communications of US lawmakers for political purposes. Under our leadership,
the FBI will never again be used as a political
(13:17):
weapon against the American people. So here's another example, another
example of the left weaponizing And we knew this was happening,
we didn't know to what degree. But now that and
just think of the things that we have learned in
this second Trump term that we would not have known
(13:40):
about had he not won this past election, think about
the things that have come to light because he was
able to win that election because you voted for him,
or enough people voted for him. Maybe you didn't vote
for him, maybe you've come around. Just another quick reminder
(14:03):
that the Smith case that he was running against Trump
cost taxpayers more than fifty million dollars. Just keep that
in mind as well. So fifty million dollars just to
do nothing but basically spy on lawmakers. And according to
the FBI, that's what they said, So fifty million plus
(14:27):
just for the purposes of trying to make sure Donald
Trump could not run for president again. They were trying
to disqualify him. And we've learned also that yes, a
number of federal agents were on the ground January sixth
and kind of blending in mixed in with the crowd.
We haven't been able to get clarification on how many
(14:48):
of them might have been doing something they should not
have been doing, whether or not they were committing any
sort of crimes or instigating things. There's been a lot
of questions about what were these people doing, how were
they already inside the capitol when people came in, how
many of them came in with people, how many of
them were encouraging people to go in, and then of
(15:09):
course January sixth didn't go exactly the way they thought
it was. I think they had high hopes for where
it was going to go, and when it didn't play
out that way, then it became a question of Okay, well,
what can we come up with? What can we dig
around and find out? And apparently it wasn't anything overly useful,
(15:31):
but they violated some rights and now the FBI says
we're going to find out exactly what needs to be
done about it. Today's show brought to you by Columba
State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
that really of all ages. I mean they do it
(15:53):
for school age kids as school age kids visit the
Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
(16:20):
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
It's one of those things that when you're watching it
in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
(16:41):
I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
and also check out when the next to Astronomy Nights
coming up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do
(17:04):
it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get
outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any
light interference, and you can do that as well upcoming
Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org.
As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org,
I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola
(17:26):
Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to
you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of
your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to
get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
(17:46):
have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus
can take care of square and that away for you,
and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
quite what you want it to be and you need
some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
(18:06):
need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got with
colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and
it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
like to add a screen door to your garage door
system that you can put down and you can use
(18:28):
your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
You know, if you like to work on your own
cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
man cavid. You'd like to be able to open the
door up and not invite all the insects in. They
can do that for you as well, And again they
do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
(18:50):
garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
and they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five
eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight
forty five one hundred o dccolumbus dot com more West
Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well, this time
(19:14):
of year, we hear a lot about pumpkin spice latte.
We're in that season things cool down a little bit.
It's kind of warm yesterday, it's gonna be warm again today,
but it will cool back down again. But as we
are fully into pumpkin spice latte season, and everybody kind
of thinks that maybe people all over the country. Maybe
(19:34):
you think people all over the world are just diving
into pumpkin spice drinks. But apparently there are some states
that are more obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes than others.
Data from door Dash shows People in Western states are
the biggest fans of the seasonal drink, especially Alaska, Oregon, Utah,
(19:55):
and Montana. The drink not so popular on the other
side of the country, where Mississippi and Vermont take a
pass on it. I would think Vermont would be in
that just seems like a state that would be all
about it. The data also shows that pumpkin spice cravings
are hitting people earlier each year. Last year it started
around August nineteenth, compared to three years earlier, when the
(20:17):
cravings set in around August the thirtieth. It doesn't surprise
me that people get that hitch sooner. That doesn't and
I feel like that will always kind of push ahead
a little bit to a certain point until maybe I
don't know. You know, you're allowed. You're allowed to have
pumpkin spice in spring. There's nothing stopping you. You're you're
(20:38):
able to do that. You just don't have it maybe
as readily available and easy to obtain as you know,
getting it at the uh you know, the coffee shops,
but you could you could just get you could get
things to spice it up yourself at home. You're allowed
to do that, you know that, right as the popularity
of sports gambling has exploded, people are starting to have
(21:01):
second thoughts about whether the benefits outweigh the risks and
trouble that it might cause. In a new Pew Research
Center survey, forty three percent of US adults say the
legalization of sports betting and much of the country is
a bad thing for society and sports. That's not what
it says. That's my addition. It's up thirty four percent
(21:22):
in twenty twenty two. It's up that much since then.
Forty percent of adults now say that it's a bad
thing for sports. It's well, oh, they did say it.
That's up from thirty three percent. It is bad for sports.
Whenever anybody sees someone make a bad play and they go, ah,
that player must have added money on the game. That's
not good for sports. And when my children can't sit
(21:45):
down and watch a sporting event without having to watch
fifty ads for you know, Draft Kings or whatever it's
and it's all your favorite celebrities talking about how great
it is to gamble on sports. That makes it interesting.
It's not a sports isn't interesting unless you got money
on the line. If you got money on the line,
(22:06):
that's what makes it interesting. You're not doing sports, right,
That's what I say. But go do your thing. Whatever
you want to do, you go do your thing. A
Sahi group, which is Japan's leading beer producer, I may
or may not have pronounced it right. That's what it
looks like as dealing with a major cyber attack that
has disrupted operations and triggered a nationwide shortage of its
(22:27):
popular super dry beer. The company is now manually processing orders,
but the efforts might not be enough to prevent many
stores in Japan from running out. So if you've got
friends in Japan, tell them to load up on there
Asahi Super dry beer before it disappears from the shelves.
Or maybe this is a trick. Maybe this is one
of the toilet paper. They're just getting people to buy
(22:49):
it up. They're creating a run on it. Maybe that's
what they're doing. Off the coast of Florida. A professional
diving team. This is such a great story. Recovered over
one thousand silver and gold coins from seventeen fifteen Spanish shipwreck.
That happened. It's part of a fleet that was lost
to a hurricane more than three centuries ago. What I
(23:10):
didn't think we had hurricanes until climate alarmists realized that
we were having them. I didn't know we had them
three hundred years ago. How can this be? Historians say
about four hundred million dollars worth of gold, silver, and
jewels were lost in the storm. This treasure, worth about
a million dollars is part of that disaster, which means
(23:32):
there's still plenty more to discover. So we getting all
the divers. Are they headed? Are they headed off the
coast of Florida to start swimming around and looking for
the rest of them? To balloons. That'll do it for
this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back
here tomorrow morning.

in public while they're doing their jobs would put them
in more danger. We just saw this play out with
(08:46):
Charlie Kirk. Now, this isn't a case of take the
mask off and you're in danger, but the verbiage and
the implications that are there, and we've seen this now
play out in this race in Virginia for the Attorney
General office, as you've got a candidate on the left
(09:10):
who has used this horrific verbiage basically saying that a
political opponent needed to be shot, that the family needed
to die, and that basically the family needed to die
because that's the only way to get the attention of Republicans.
So this is all out there. This is all out there.
(09:31):
It's been put into the air, into the atmosphere, This
is out into the ether. This is what is out there,
and we're just pretending that people are not in any
way trying to tone this down and making these accusations
(09:55):
that this is a somehow, this is Republicans overstepping their
bounds and using this secret police, and the fact that
they are continuing to put people in danger, that they
are continuing to threaten and try to scare people. Now,
(10:19):
let's jump into this story because this is a fresh
story that relates to weaponizing the Justice Department and no
it's not this administration, it's the previous administration. Because, as
I've been quoted as saying on Fox News, when they
accuse Republicans of something, it means they've been doing it
(10:39):
for a while already. And this comes from I want
to quote the source on this. This document I guess
ended up with with Fox News Digital, and it's basically
according to their reporting to a document recovered by FBI
(11:05):
Director Cash Betel and obtained by Fox News Digital titled
CAST Assistants, dated September twenty seven, twenty twenty three, CAST
referring to the FBI Cellular Analysis Survey Team. So what
we have is Jack Smith, who was basically himself a
(11:26):
weapon turned loose on Donald Trump and anyone close to him,
and he was the special attorney who was going after
going after Trump. Special counsel Jack Smith. So it says
he tracked the communications by a dozen Republican senators during
(11:52):
the January sixth probe. And this I'm looking at the
actual document here. Now, this was I guess, some of
the work of Dan Bongino, the assistant director of the FBI.
So basically what was happening is they were analyzing calls
(12:14):
made by and who the call made by these Republicans,
who they were calling, when they were calling, the location
origin maybe of some of the calls that were coming
into them, and Arctic frost, I guess was the name of.
This was opened inside the bureau April thirteenth, twenty twenty two.
(12:35):
Smith was appointed in November twenty twenty two. So basically, yes,
the FBI deputy director, that's his title, not assistant. But
you get the idea. Bongino is working with those lawmakers
on that discovery of the surveillance that was done. So
he spent a good chunk of his day yesterday working
(12:57):
on that. Vongino told Fox News Digital, it's a disgrace
that I have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal
this that the FBI was once weaponized to attack the
private communications of US lawmakers for political purposes. Under our leadership,
the FBI will never again be used as a political
(13:17):
weapon against the American people. So here's another example, another
example of the left weaponizing And we knew this was happening,
we didn't know to what degree. But now that and
just think of the things that we have learned in
this second Trump term that we would not have known
(13:40):
about had he not won this past election, think about
the things that have come to light because he was
able to win that election because you voted for him,
or enough people voted for him. Maybe you didn't vote
for him, maybe you've come around. Just another quick reminder
(14:03):
that the Smith case that he was running against Trump
cost taxpayers more than fifty million dollars. Just keep that
in mind as well. So fifty million dollars just to
do nothing but basically spy on lawmakers. And according to
the FBI, that's what they said, So fifty million plus
(14:27):
just for the purposes of trying to make sure Donald
Trump could not run for president again. They were trying
to disqualify him. And we've learned also that yes, a
number of federal agents were on the ground January sixth
and kind of blending in mixed in with the crowd.
We haven't been able to get clarification on how many
(14:48):
of them might have been doing something they should not
have been doing, whether or not they were committing any
sort of crimes or instigating things. There's been a lot
of questions about what were these people doing, how were
they already inside the capitol when people came in, how
many of them came in with people, how many of
them were encouraging people to go in, and then of
(15:09):
course January sixth didn't go exactly the way they thought
it was. I think they had high hopes for where
it was going to go, and when it didn't play
out that way, then it became a question of Okay, well,
what can we come up with? What can we dig
around and find out? And apparently it wasn't anything overly useful,
(15:31):
but they violated some rights and now the FBI says
we're going to find out exactly what needs to be
done about it. Today's show brought to you by Columba
State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating
the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
that really of all ages. I mean they do it
(15:53):
for school age kids as school age kids visit the

and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
(16:20):
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School
of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
It's one of those things that when you're watching it
in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
(16:41):
I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
and also check out when the next to Astronomy Nights
coming up where you can get outside. Sometimes you do
(17:04):
it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get
outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any
light interference, and you can do that as well upcoming
Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org.
As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org,
I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola
(17:26):
Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to
you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of
your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to
get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
(17:46):
have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus
can take care of square and that away for you,
and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
quite what you want it to be and you need
some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
(18:06):
need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got with
colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and
it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
like to add a screen door to your garage door
system that you can put down and you can use
(18:28):
your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
You know, if you like to work on your own
cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
man cavid. You'd like to be able to open the
door up and not invite all the insects in. They
can do that for you as well, And again they
do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
(18:50):
garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
and they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five
eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight
forty five one hundred o dccolumbus dot com more West
Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well, this time
(19:14):
of year, we hear a lot about pumpkin spice latte.
We're in that season things cool down a little bit.
It's kind of warm yesterday, it's gonna be warm again today,
but it will cool back down again. But as we
are fully into pumpkin spice latte season, and everybody kind
of thinks that maybe people all over the country. Maybe
(19:34):
you think people all over the world are just diving
into pumpkin spice drinks. But apparently there are some states
that are more obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes than others.
Data from door Dash shows People in Western states are
the biggest fans of the seasonal drink, especially Alaska, Oregon, Utah,
(19:55):
and Montana. The drink not so popular on the other
side of the country, where Mississippi and Vermont take a
pass on it. I would think Vermont would be in
that just seems like a state that would be all
about it. The data also shows that pumpkin spice cravings
are hitting people earlier each year. Last year it started
around August nineteenth, compared to three years earlier, when the
(20:17):
cravings set in around August the thirtieth. It doesn't surprise
me that people get that hitch sooner. That doesn't and
I feel like that will always kind of push ahead
a little bit to a certain point until maybe I
don't know. You know, you're allowed. You're allowed to have
pumpkin spice in spring. There's nothing stopping you. You're you're
(20:38):
able to do that. You just don't have it maybe
as readily available and easy to obtain as you know,
getting it at the uh you know, the coffee shops,
but you could you could just get you could get
things to spice it up yourself at home. You're allowed
to do that, you know that, right as the popularity
of sports gambling has exploded, people are starting to have
(21:01):
second thoughts about whether the benefits outweigh the risks and
trouble that it might cause. In a new Pew Research
Center survey, forty three percent of US adults say the
legalization of sports betting and much of the country is
a bad thing for society and sports. That's not what
it says. That's my addition. It's up thirty four percent
(21:22):
in twenty twenty two. It's up that much since then.
Forty percent of adults now say that it's a bad
thing for sports. It's well, oh, they did say it.
That's up from thirty three percent. It is bad for sports.
Whenever anybody sees someone make a bad play and they go, ah,
that player must have added money on the game. That's
not good for sports. And when my children can't sit
(21:45):
down and watch a sporting event without having to watch
fifty ads for you know, Draft Kings or whatever it's
and it's all your favorite celebrities talking about how great
it is to gamble on sports. That makes it interesting.
It's not a sports isn't interesting unless you got money
on the line. If you got money on the line,
(22:06):
that's what makes it interesting. You're not doing sports, right,
That's what I say. But go do your thing. Whatever
you want to do, you go do your thing. A
Sahi group, which is Japan's leading beer producer, I may
or may not have pronounced it right. That's what it
looks like as dealing with a major cyber attack that
has disrupted operations and triggered a nationwide shortage of its
(22:27):
popular super dry beer. The company is now manually processing orders,
but the efforts might not be enough to prevent many
stores in Japan from running out. So if you've got
friends in Japan, tell them to load up on there
Asahi Super dry beer before it disappears from the shelves.
Or maybe this is a trick. Maybe this is one
of the toilet paper. They're just getting people to buy
(22:49):
it up. They're creating a run on it. Maybe that's
what they're doing. Off the coast of Florida. A professional
diving team. This is such a great story. Recovered over
one thousand silver and gold coins from seventeen fifteen Spanish shipwreck.
That happened. It's part of a fleet that was lost
to a hurricane more than three centuries ago. What I
(23:10):
didn't think we had hurricanes until climate alarmists realized that
we were having them. I didn't know we had them
three hundred years ago. How can this be? Historians say
about four hundred million dollars worth of gold, silver, and
jewels were lost in the storm. This treasure, worth about
a million dollars is part of that disaster, which means
(23:32):
there's still plenty more to discover. So we getting all
the divers. Are they headed? Are they headed off the
coast of Florida to start swimming around and looking for
the rest of them? To balloons. That'll do it for
this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back
here tomorrow morning.
