1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: No way, they'd never lie to you, Casey. This is 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: the Kendle and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. My name 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you. 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Let's play something terrifying in response to not terrifying, like 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: the crazy guy that sounded like a killer that I 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: played audio of in the last hour. This is terrifying 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: in the world of politics and feels like it leans 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: right in to Casey and that promo saying that the 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: government would never lie to you about his tongue in 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: cheek as you possibly can. Eric Swallwell, in an interview 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: on CNN, said he'd love to see vote by phone. 12 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: Essentially wants to turn voting into how you win the 13 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: voice or something. He just wants anyone who has a 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: phone to be able to dial up and say, hey, 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: it's me. 16 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: I promise let me go ahead and cast a vote. Here. 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to play this audio. 18 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: This is unapologetically insane and exactly the kind of thing 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: that's so easy to tee off on As someone who 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: wants to accuse Democrats of trying to cheat in elections, 21 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: this would be the cheatiest of cheating, and I like 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: the way I just said that. But nonetheless, like, I 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: think there's got to be a reason he said this. 24 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if he actually believes it's something that 25 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: would ever happen. But what's scarier to me is that 26 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of the audience on CNN would be thrilled 27 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: to hear this, the people who want to vote by 28 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: phone themselves, who probably have no right to vote in 29 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: this country in the first place. 30 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: But here we go hear some of the audio of. 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Swallwell saying something that's beyond nuts, beyond crazy and would 32 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: be horrible, and I don't think will ever actually happen 33 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: here in this country. 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: I want us to be able to vote by phone. 35 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: I mean every California vote by phone. Yeah, if we can. 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: Oh, actually, I'm gonna stop it already. 37 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: When CNN, as someone who's interviewing you on CNN reacts 38 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: that way to the thing you said, you know it's 39 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: out there. You know it's as far off to the 40 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: left as you can get, because they want to agree 41 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: with you, and even they're like, what now, I. 42 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: Want us to be able to vote by phone, I 43 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: mean every California by vote by phone. By fine, if 44 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 3: we can do our taxes. Do you know, our make 45 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: our healthcare appointments, you know, make essentially your do your 46 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: banking online. You should be able to vote by phone. 47 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 2: I love the examples he gave. 48 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to interrupt this a lot because none of 49 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: them make any sense at all. Doing your taxes online 50 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: is giving money to the government that are maybe trying 51 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: not to and them catching you trying not to a 52 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: little bit too much. But that seems like a very 53 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: different thing than say, voting in an election. All the 54 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: things he mentioned are things that if you are here 55 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: illegally or you you know, just want to skip it, 56 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't impact the rest of society to do it 57 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: that way. Doing your own personal banking online isn't something 58 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: where you have an outstretched impact on what happens in 59 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: your community because you can force someone into a position 60 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: of power that they don't deserve. It's also not something 61 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: that I think the Democrats can swoop their hand into 62 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: and change. I can't imagine the amount of phone calls 63 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: that Eric Swalwell would make with fake voices saying he's 64 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: voting for himself again if he gets vote by phone 65 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: to work. 66 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: But let's keep going with it. 67 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: Make its safe make it's secure, but I'm just already 68 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 3: happening all over the United States. I want us to 69 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: be a blue state that doesn't do just a little 70 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 3: bit better than like Georgia or Alabama when it comes 71 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: to like voting access. I want us to max out 72 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: democracy also as it relates to democracy. 73 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: That's insane because you're not maxing out democracy, you're maxing 74 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: out something very very different than. 75 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: You wait in line for thirty minutes or more. If 76 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 3: you do want to vote in person now, I think 77 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: you should find every county for every minute that a 78 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 3: person has to wait longer. We have to be better, 79 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: not just a little bit better than the other states 80 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: the DMV. I don't think California should have to go 81 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: in person to the DMV anymore. I think we can. 82 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: May not get your license without even showing up, without 83 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: even having your face there, and then use that license 84 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: to be able to vote in an election where you're 85 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: calling in on the phone. 86 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: Why not to all that what could possibly go wrong? 87 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: How stupid do these individuals actually think people are like like? Honestly, 88 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: because this is an insane thing to say, and you 89 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: might actually hear some of your friends. Some people on 90 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: the left walk around and like, yeah, it's all about 91 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: voter access. You don't have enough of it. They're restricting 92 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: people from voting. Whenever anybody says that to me, I 93 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: actually immediately point to Georgia. I don't know what you do, 94 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: what you say, but Georgia, at one point, in a 95 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: midterm election not all that long ago, was being accused 96 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: of all kinds of horrific things that we're going to 97 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: silence voters, especially minority voters. 98 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: Jim Crow two point zero. That's something that Biden and 99 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: others were saying. 100 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: And then if you actually look at the turnout in 101 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: that election, the turnout for a minority voters was larger 102 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: than they'd ever seen in the history of the state. 103 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: They set a record for the amount of people that 104 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: voted in the election that, you know, we're supposed to 105 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: be silenced by any of their voting laws. So that 106 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: is crazy to say this sort of thing, and to 107 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: lean into this to try to convince people that vote 108 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: by phone. I mean, like, that's the kind of thing 109 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: a child says when you're like, I don't know how 110 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: to do this better, what should we do? A vote 111 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: by phone is the usual version of it, where you 112 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: don't care at all about the complications, the problems, and 113 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: the likelihood that you'd abuse said problems. All you care 114 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 1: about is saying something that you think someone will hear 115 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: and then not consider it all and be like, yeah, sure, 116 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: that sounds great. That's a real thing that a Democrat 117 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: said out there in the world. This is one of 118 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: the reasons I think we should redistrict to get more 119 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: of these people out of positions of power. All right, 120 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: this is also interesting at least Slotnik who is slot 121 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: can excuse me, who is one of several politicians that 122 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: created a video that encouraged military men and women to 123 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: disregard the orders of the current president of the United States. 124 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: This story got almost no coverage last week. I was 125 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: talking about it right when it started. I don't mean 126 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: to pat myself on the back that felt inappropriate, but. 127 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 2: I didn't hear it. 128 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: A lot of places like I would turn on regular news, 129 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: no one cared. Then Trump said that certain people are 130 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: doing things that are highly illegal, and saying that essentially 131 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: the politicians could be punished, and that punishment could include death, 132 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: which is not something Trump wanted to do. 133 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 2: By the way, I. 134 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Actually I should take a second to explain my thought 135 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: on this. Trump is an expert in understanding that the 136 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: media is going to be overreactive to anything and everything 137 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: he says, which is easy like anybody who's been treated 138 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: like Trump for as many years as he has been 139 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: would know. And so even more so, I think Trump 140 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: is an expert sometimes at being incredibly extreme to get 141 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: the attention of mainstream media when they're ignoring something. And 142 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: because of his conversation or his whatever, his you know, 143 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: truth social posts that he put out in the world. 144 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: This interview happens on ABC over the weekend where one 145 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: of those politicians sat down in front of a news person, 146 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: Martha McCollum, and she asked the question as to whether 147 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,119 Speaker 1: or not you think that this is actually a wrong 148 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: or you think this is. 149 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: The kind of thing that you know, we shouldn't be doing, etc. Etc. 150 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: And I just thought it was really interesting thing the 151 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: back and forth for some of these Actually, Martha, that 152 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: was different, that's not ABC. But nonetheless, let's play this 153 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: audio of the back and forth discussion where you're actually 154 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: presented with the opportunity to explain why you said what 155 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: you did, to explain why you're encouraging military men and 156 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: women not to follow the advice of the president, to 157 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: follow the orders of the president, and if he's actually 158 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: said or done anything that constitutes something that the military 159 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: should ignore, and they say, no, of course not, that's 160 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: not something that's happened to my knowledge, which is important. 161 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if this will get paid attention to 162 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: as much as it should, but here we go. 163 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 4: Let's talk right now. 164 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders? 165 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that 166 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that 167 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related 168 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: to Venezuela. 169 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 4: But let's talk right now. 170 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: Actually we're good. 171 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: Martha Rattits, by the way, of course, is the name 172 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: of the individual who's actually speaking there. Martha Radit says, 173 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: is there anything he's done that actually is wrong? And 174 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: the real answer from the politician who already put the 175 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: video up telling everyone to not listen to the commander 176 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: in chief saying leaning on her own experience and law 177 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: enforcement end or the military, which the people, the democratic 178 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: politicians who actually served this country in our military and 179 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: then put that video out, should be uniquely ashamed of themselves. 180 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: For being willing to politicize something to that degree. But anyway, 181 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: the answer is, nothing has happened to my knowledge that 182 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: should be disregarded, but they're tapping close to it. They're 183 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood of something they shouldn't be doing, And 184 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: for that reason, we actually put a video out that 185 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: encourages everyone to ignore Trump at all costs to usurp 186 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: his power to do. 187 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: Whatever they can. 188 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: This, coupled with the guy who's saying they should have 189 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: vote by phone, makes you realize everything you need to 190 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: know about why Democrats are horrible for this country. Honestly, 191 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: there's times where I want to be more of a 192 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: I can hear it from both sides kind of person. 193 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Not that I'll agree with the other side, but at 194 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: least try to pretend as though I can have the conversation. 195 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: But it's stuff like this and the refusal to acknowledge 196 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: anything in that ballpark of we just said and did 197 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: something crazy because the excuse is always Trump's bad, Orange man, horrible, 198 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: have to do everything we can to harm him. So 199 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna put this video out that we know is 200 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: inappropriate and we know has no reason to be followed 201 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: by anyone in the military. By our own words, we 202 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: actually admit that he has done nothing that deserves this 203 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: level of getting banned or ignored down the line. 204 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: It's insane. 205 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a break. After the break, 206 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: I do have some audio Scott Bessont that I like 207 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: a lot. The Treasury Secretary. He asked Kristen Welker on 208 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: NBC if she understands how much a certain part of 209 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: her body weighs her arm And it was a really 210 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: great way to demonstrate a different point. 211 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: So that's the tease. I'll play that audio and more 212 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 2: coming up in a bit. 213 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: This is Craig Collins filling in ninety three WIBC, The 214 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: Kendall and Casey Show, ninety three WIBC. My name is 215 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: Craig Collins, filling in. 216 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 2: Thrilled to be with you. 217 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: Lots of stuff out there to talk about. Kendall and 218 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: Casey off this week. They'll be back after the holidays, 219 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: so thrilled to be in for them. The FAA is 220 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: saying that Thanksgiving travel will be the busiest it's been 221 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: in fifteen years, three hundred and sixty thousand flights. Thank 222 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: god that the government shutdown isn't still going on. You know, 223 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: I thought of that the entire time. By the way, 224 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: I feel like I keep patting myself on the back 225 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: during the show. I'm not trying to brag. I bet 226 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: you a lot of you did this too, so I 227 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: don't think I'm alone. But the whole time the government 228 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: shut down and the airline industry started to become more 229 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: and more of the dominant story. In the back of 230 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: a lot of our minds, we were thinking, Thanksgiving is coming, 231 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: A whole lot of people travel for the holidays. You 232 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: can't possibly allow it to stay bad through that, because 233 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: that is absolutely a torpedo to the likelihood of any 234 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Democrat getting re elected in anything if craziness ensues during 235 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: that time period. But I think a little bit of 236 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: what they were doing was testing to see if Republicans 237 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: were receiving an outstretched amount of blame for the shutdown, 238 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: not from the crazy left radicals, but like everybody in 239 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: the middle. I guess however, many people that even is, 240 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: and no, by and large it' seeing people did understand 241 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: that Republicans kept trying to pass a bill that would 242 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: open the government and Democrats kept saying no to it, 243 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: and so for that reason alone, I think they didn't 244 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: wait all the way till Thanksgiving. I think Democrats would 245 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: have willingly kept the government shut down if Republicans would 246 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: have gotten the blame for the most horrific travel holiday 247 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: we've ever seen, worse than anything we saw during COVID 248 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: or anything else because of the amount of airports that 249 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: would have like no staff, no TSA staff, etc. But 250 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: thank god that didn't happen. So crazy crazy travel Day. 251 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: It will be coming up later this week. Are several 252 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: travel days. A couple other things out there that I 253 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: thought were interesting, whether or not necessarily serious topics. 254 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 2: I saw this story and I really couldn't. 255 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: Believe that it's real. You tell me if you think 256 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: that this is accurate. But according to I think the 257 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: New York Post and other people who claim that they're 258 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: talking to experts, and you know what, most of us 259 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: should actually think about anyone claiming to be an expert 260 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: in anything. But anyway, Frontiers and Zoology is the journal 261 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: that published this story. They have an amazing swimsuit issue. 262 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: By the way, here's now I'm totally kidding that sounds horrible, 263 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: but anyway, they put out something saying that raccoons are 264 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: the latest pet crave one because raccoons are evolving to 265 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: be cuter looking, which is odd. I don't think that's 266 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: necessarily true. And two people seem more and more to 267 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: desire having raccoons in their home. You know who I 268 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: think actually believes this is a good idea. Anyone who 269 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: has not found a raccoon in their trash can or 270 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: on their roof or in any scenario near them for 271 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: any amount of time, because you will have a very long, 272 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: very unfun fight with an animal that you don't want 273 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: to be in a fight with if you try to 274 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: get one out of your trash can, if that's the 275 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: thing you got to do, I wouldn't want that as 276 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: a pet. 277 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: I wouldn't want that inside my home. 278 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: My favorite part of the whole story, which as I said, 279 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: you can find on the New York Post and other places, 280 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: is at no point does it say raccoons are behaving 281 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: better than they were before, which would be like point 282 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: one if I had kids come to me and say, 283 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, I want a raccoon for a pet, Dad, 284 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: and I looked at them like, ah. 285 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. 286 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: The biggest example would be like go outside and try 287 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: to catch one. I wouldn't actually tell them to do that, 288 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: but something like that, because it's going to be horrible, 289 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: The behavior is going to be insane. I just love 290 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: that this is a thing that's out there, though, because 291 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: I do think you'd get a ton of social media 292 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: videos of people very happy the day their raccoon pet 293 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: came home, and then very sad within an hour and 294 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: a half of that occurring because of everything that's gone 295 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: to crap in their house because of it. But I 296 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: just find that to be funny, Like what's wrong with 297 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: a dog man? What's wrong with the tried and true pet? 298 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: And dogs are better than cats? I'm putting it out there. 299 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: I think I often say that on the radio, and 300 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: the cat people get mad and they send me the letters, 301 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: but they know exactly what I know. That a cat 302 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: barely wants to live with you. It seems like the 303 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: most begrudging pet you could ever have. A dog is 304 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: so so happy that they're in your house and that 305 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: you're home, and anytime you leave, they're incredibly sad. Why 306 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: not want a pet like that? 307 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 4: All? 308 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 5: Right? 309 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Another thing out there I saw that I thought was 310 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: pretty funny. Apparently most parents argue more about their kids driving, 311 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: both with their teenage children and with each other than 312 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: they talk about anything else. This is the most significant 313 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: fight you might have with your kid as they grow up. 314 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: Fifty one percent of people say they argue with their 315 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: teen about driving habits for the teen screen time less 316 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: than that, raids life plan, dating lives less than that. 317 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: I think I know the reason why for this, and 318 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of unique in my I'm a millennial, so 319 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: I say my generation now, and I actually can say 320 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: that anyone out there who shakes their head leg oh please, 321 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: there is a younger one than may now out there, 322 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: and I'm an older millennial. I turned forty a couple 323 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: weeks ago. But anyway, anyone from my generation onward, anyone 324 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: behind me gen X, baby boom or whatever. I think 325 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: everybody remembers getting close to getting your car and how 326 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: much you wanted it, Like you were desperate to have 327 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: a license, a vast majority of us, because it meant 328 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: a version of freedom that you didn't have until you 329 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: had it. But now I know a whole lot of 330 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: people whose teenage kids have no interest in a driver's license. 331 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: They're like, I can uber to get around if I 332 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: want to leave the house, or some version of ride sharing, 333 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: and then they also just don't care about getting it. 334 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: So I think it's that lasse fair attitude for some 335 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: like the responsibility of driving or even the desire of it, 336 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: that might make you more worried with them behind the car, 337 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: behind the wheel of the car. I don't know, but 338 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: it seems that parents I don't know that this has 339 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: always been true, are arguing more with their teens than 340 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: anything else about driving. And I think some parents are 341 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: mystified that their teens don't want to drive more, and 342 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: I know some kids do. But as I said, there's 343 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: more and more people out there that I know personally 344 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: who's like teenage son or daughters, hold up in their 345 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: room on social media or on a video game of 346 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: some kind and has no interest in going anywhere, Which 347 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: is crazy because again, freedom for me meant getting as 348 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: far away from my parents as possible for as long 349 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: as I could. At eighteen, you want to get out 350 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: of the house. At sixteen, you want to be able 351 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: to drive and pick up your friends. This is all 352 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: stuff that I see less and less of now. One 353 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: last one that I thought was interesting out there, as 354 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: far as quicker sillier topics I saw a couple of 355 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: deer Abby letters that I liked, and if you're younger, 356 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: you might not know what deer abby is, but it's 357 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: an advice column. It's much like am I the jerk 358 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: on Reddit? It's a different word than jerk, But I 359 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: like that page two where people write and tell a 360 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: story and then they ask who's the jerk, me or 361 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: the other person. There were two deer abbys that I 362 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: thought were really interesting that people wrote in. The first 363 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: one said should I apologize for yelling at my daughter's 364 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: loser boyfriend? I thought this was really funny. A woman, 365 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: a mom wrote in and said that she yelled at Harry, 366 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: which I think is the fake name for the boyfriend, 367 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: because she just thinks he's everything that a loser is. 368 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: He's not motivated to do much, he doesn't seem to 369 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: be helping her daughter in any ways. 370 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: He plays video games. 371 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: He goes over his girlfriend's house and plays video games 372 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: at their house on their you know TV. Well, the 373 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: girlfriend is like making him food and stuff. I can't 374 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: even think about doing that if I were, you know, dating. Still, 375 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm a happily married man, but like talk about actually 376 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: behaving like a loser. And I'm not saying video games 377 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: are inherently bad. 378 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: I play them. 379 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: But I don't know why you'd go to someone else's 380 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: home and show off to the mom and dad that 381 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: you know you don't have much going on in your life. 382 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 2: You're just sitting there playing video games all day. You 383 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: got to pretend. Man. 384 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: Dating somebody and showing up at their house in front 385 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: of their parents is putting on the best face you 386 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: possibly get. Is pretending that you're someone who's doing everything right. 387 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be true. This is the early 388 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: version of a job interview, where you just put on 389 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: the best face you can. You make all the right jokes, 390 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: you agree with everything they say. This is the way 391 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: to get parents to like you, not going over and 392 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: playing video games at their house. I love this story 393 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: and as far as my answer to the question, should 394 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: the person who yelled at this guy feel bad about 395 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: it or apologize for it? No, I don't think so. 396 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: Give your real opinion. You know your kid might still 397 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: do whatever they want. They might date this guy in 398 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: spite of you, and that is not the outcome I 399 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: think you desire. But if a person was coming over 400 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: my home, dating my kid and then playing video games 401 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: in my house. Well, even my own child seems like 402 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: they want to go do something else. I would have 403 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: some words too. I think you should say some things 404 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: as well. I think so many people are conflict averse 405 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: in our society now, especially young people, that any version 406 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: of conflict is thought of as bad. And I don't 407 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: necessarily think that's true. I mean, I depends on scale here, 408 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: Like if you screamed and yelled and threw stuff at 409 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: this person, there's a version where maybe you got too angry, 410 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: maybe you went too far, maybe it went too much 411 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: the other road. But I think maybe there's some version 412 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: of come on, man. Actually, you know what, I remember 413 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: this is kind of funny. It's not a dating situation. 414 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: This was just a buddy of mine in college. He 415 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: invited me over his house for Thanksgiving because I was 416 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: living pretty far away from home, and so I think 417 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: it was like a two day thing. You go over, 418 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: you spend a couple days in the suburbs, you go 419 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: back to the dorm with your friend, and I remember 420 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: like wanting to go outside and play football and all 421 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: that crap with my buddy, and the parents were so thrilled, like, man, 422 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: look at these two young men, these eighteen nineteen year 423 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: old kids that aren't sitting around a computer or their 424 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: video game system just wasting their time while they're. 425 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: In our home. 426 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: We didn't even do that performatively. We were just dudes 427 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: that liked to go do things like in the real world. 428 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: And I don't know how that's missing now for more 429 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:01,479 Speaker 1: people in society. You'll have a better feeling yourself, your body, 430 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: like a better I don't know if I want to 431 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: call it a buzz or something, by just going out 432 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: and being a human in public and not necessarily being 433 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: someone sitting in front of a screen for ten hours 434 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: a day, every single day, all the time. And so 435 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: I remember that that the parents were so thrilled that 436 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: me and my friend were buddies because both of us 437 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: seem like we wanted to be outside more than inside. 438 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: And that was in college. 439 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: Man, it's crazy to think about how that system is 440 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: so different than what we have now. And this was 441 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: twenty years ago too. All right, quick break a lot 442 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: coming up.

I have 447 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 1: filled in for Tony Katz now for quite a few 448 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: years as a fill in host for Tony Kats in 449 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: the morning news, and I'm thrilled to be asked to 450 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: do this this gig. I love when you do a 451 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: two person show. Is one guy, by the way, because 452 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: I just picture either Rob or Casey reacting to some 453 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: of the things I'm saying, and I kind of wish 454 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: they were here to have that back and forth. We'll 455 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: do this without them, of course, because they deserve a vacation. 456 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting as far as stuff that's 457 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: just out there in the news. Well, actually, you know what, 458 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: let me hold that because this is a Democrat running 459 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: for office somewhere, not in Indiana. You may not care, 460 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: but I just think that the things she's saying are insane, 461 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: including that she hates Nashville, Tennessee, which is where she 462 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: wants to be a political representative. Before I get there, 463 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier. This is Scott Besn't, the Treasury Secretary, 464 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: having a conversation on NBC News about prices of certain things. 465 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: Have prices of all the things that we buy on 466 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: a daily basis gone down? No, can you cherry pick 467 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: items out there that are uniquely more expensive than they 468 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: were some amount of time ago? 469 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can do that. 470 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: Does this administration seem to have a greater goal in 471 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: place through mostly through cutting the cost of energy, which 472 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: is something that Biden was very much in a fight 473 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: against as a war against oil and gas when he 474 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: was in office, And energy costs make a lot of 475 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: things more expensive anyway, more so than tariffs apparently. But anyway, 476 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: as this is going on, as this debate is back 477 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: and forth, Welker thinks she's got bessn't and trying to 478 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: demonstrate that some items are uniquely more expensive now than 479 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: they were when Trump took office, and the Treasury Secretary 480 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: had an amazing response to her position on this topic. 481 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and play that audio because I just 482 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: thought it was really well done as far as arguing back, 483 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: are you actually being fair right now in the point 484 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: you're trying to make come from? 485 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 6: Well, and banana prices are up almost seven percent, coffee 486 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 6: prices up nearly nineteen percent, isn't the fact that you're 487 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 6: rolling back tariffs it admission that ultimately they do drive 488 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 6: up prices for consumers. 489 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 4: Christ how much does your arm woy? That I do 490 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 4: not exactly, but you know how much you get on 491 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: the scale every morning. Amazing is a composite number, and 492 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 4: we look at everything, so we are trying. 493 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's already wonderful. 494 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: As far as a pushback, how much does this unique 495 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: part of your body that you can't put on the 496 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: scale by itself way? And if the answer is I 497 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: don't know which obviously it is, then maybe you're not 498 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 1: looking at the totality of items and how much they 499 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: cost across the board to try to tell your viewers 500 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: that things are more expensive. 501 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 4: Right now, we try to push down the things we 502 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 4: can control. And as I said that we are working 503 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: on the energy prices are down and everything flows from that, 504 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 4: and I think we're going to see these other prices 505 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 4: come down. And again, many of these goods we're part 506 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: of trade deals with countries that have been in the 507 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 4: works for. 508 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 6: Months very quickly come down in a matter of weeks. Months, sorry, 509 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 6: weeks or months. The crisis will come down in weeks 510 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 6: or months. 511 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 4: Some are going to come down in weeks. Some are 512 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 4: going to come down in months. We just had the 513 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 4: terms of affordability. We just had the best month in 514 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 4: the housing market due to affordability due to increased supply 515 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 4: in October, best October in three years, best months since February. 516 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: That's weird. Look at that happening. Look at some good 517 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: things happening now. Look, I will admit that I think 518 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: anyone who voted for President Trump to make the economy 519 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: better and get all the pricing to go down, I 520 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: might have unfairly expected that to happen right away, which 521 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: you can't. If you inherit something that's terrible, you have 522 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: to do your best to make it better, and that 523 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: takes time. Anyone should know that, anyone should be able 524 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: to handle that. At the same token, inflation going up 525 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: at a smaller percentage but still going up, I'm more expected, 526 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, one two percent something like that, compared to 527 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: the ridiculous amount it was going up when Biden first 528 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: got into office and had a bunch of executive orders 529 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: that all harmed the oil and gas industry, that all 530 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: made energy costs more expensive. 531 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: All of that shows you how quickly something can go 532 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 2: bad and it can go well. 533 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: And I do also think it's interesting that Besent is 534 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: out there saying that he projects prices to go down, 535 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: unlike when Biden and his administration was in office and 536 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: Janet Yellen was out there telling people that all of 537 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: these spikes and pricing are transitory. They're going to go 538 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: up real crazy and then they'll go right back down, 539 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: we promise, and transitory never happened. They all knew it 540 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: wasn't going to happen as they were saying it, which 541 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: made it even worse. But this is a version of 542 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: we do see energy costs going down a lot. The 543 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: price of gas is going down, maybe not as much 544 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: as it should. And I think Trump recently said something 545 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: about that. He said that maybe the price should be 546 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: going down more. Maybe there's a way the government should 547 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: get involved to try to push these energy companies that 548 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: are actually selling gasoline to the American people to better 549 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: reflect the price of oil at an international stage. And 550 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: I love also I'll say this last thing and then 551 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: I'll move on. I love when people say that the 552 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: president can impact the cost of gas, like, yeah, I 553 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: can't do that. That's an old democratic thing that's been 554 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: around for a long time, and then you see a 555 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: politician get into office who wants to go to war 556 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: with oil and gas and how quickly those costs. 557 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: Can skyrocket and be horrible. 558 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: And then you see a president come after him, whether 559 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: you're willing to admit this because he's Trump and some 560 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: people have the derangement syndrome thing, and not have a 561 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: war against oil and gas very much, be a friend 562 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: of oil and gas and have prices drop immediately and 563 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: go very much the other way. That seems to be 564 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: a pretty significant impact on the price of oil from 565 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: the White House itself, even though they say that that 566 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: can't happen. 567 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: All right, let's do this. 568 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: This is the Democratic politician running for a state office 569 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: in Nashville, Tennessee. She's running for Tennessee's seventh congressional district. 570 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: She's insane. Her name is Aten ben. I don't even 571 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: know if I'm saying it right because it's spelled so dumb. 572 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: Aft Yn b e Hn is her name. But anyway, 573 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: she went viral earlier last week or saying that she 574 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: hates the place she's running to represent. I'm going to 575 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: play that audio for anyone that doesn't know this. Let's 576 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: contextualize this because she then was asked a question about that, 577 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: and I think. 578 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: That went fairly poorly on a national news over the weekend. 579 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: But here she is saying how much she hates Nashville, 580 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: which seems to be the kind of thing that would 581 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: make you lose an election and not represent the people 582 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: who live there. 583 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 6: Have been heavily involved with the Nashville. 584 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: Mayoral race because I hate the city. 585 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 7: I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the penal taverns, I 586 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 7: hate country music, I hate all of the things that 587 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 7: make Naturville barely in hate city to the rest of 588 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 7: the country. 589 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: Right, I'll stop it right there. 590 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: This is the exact same sentiment that a lot of 591 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: young Democrats have about the United States itself. They might 592 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,479 Speaker 1: not hate on as micro of a scale as this 593 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: person seems to hate the place that she lives within 594 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: the United States, but they hate a whole lot of 595 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: things about the US, and they disregard anything that might 596 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: be good that they benefit from by living here. 597 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: Like the fact that she can. 598 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: Say that on a podcast somewhere and she's not going 599 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: to get scooped up and imprisoned for being so anti 600 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: society the way they would in those horrible play places 601 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: that some democratic socialists want this country to become, but noneless. 602 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: I just think it's sort of crazy that she was 603 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: proud to say that in a podcast and then still 604 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: wants to keep trying to be a political representative for 605 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: a place that she obviously hates. She doesn't just hate 606 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: the political decisions of Nashville. 607 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: She hates the people, She hates the culture. 608 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: She hates everything about it, hates country music, and that 609 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: feels like the kind of thing you can't say in 610 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: some places and still get elected. But here she is 611 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: on ms NOW, which is still the dumbest change in 612 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: a name. Ms DNC or MSNBC was not good, but 613 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: it definitely is better than MS NOW And I don't 614 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: know why they made this change, but anyway, that television 615 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: station interviewed this lady, had a conversation with her in 616 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: which they brought up some of the other controversial things 617 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: she said, like defunding the police is something that's smart, 618 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: and the amount of Democrats who said that at one 619 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: point who now struggle to deal with the fallout of 620 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: how bad of an idea that. 621 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 2: Was is sort of anazing. 622 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: So here she is swinging and missing in a conversation 623 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: about why she thought defunding the police was a good 624 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: idea and doesn't want to talk about it as much 625 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: now representative. 626 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 5: In twenty twenty, you made some tweets that have since 627 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 5: been deleted that were very critical of police. You said 628 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 5: in those since deleted tweets that the Metropolitan Nashville Police 629 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 5: Department should be dissolved, another shared on a teachers union 630 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 5: saying that defund the police should be a requirement for 631 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 5: schools reopening, and another saying good morning, especially to the 632 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 5: fifty four percent of Americans that believe burning down a 633 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 5: police station is justified. Twenty twenty, it was up. 634 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta be honest, this person should be immediately 635 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: out of this political running like these are horrible things 636 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: to say. And I love the fact. I don't love 637 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: anything she's saying. I love the fact. And I know 638 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: you can't see it because it's radio that she makes 639 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: that confused face when this first comes up an ms 640 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: NOW or MSNBC, DNC, whatever, I still want to call 641 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: it because she seems shocked that they're going to challenge her, 642 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: Like I thought this was friendly. I thought you guys 643 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: were going to steer away from this topic. Of all 644 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: the radical, insane stuff that I and people like Mandami 645 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: are saying every day when we expect to get elected 646 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: places because Austin positions of power seems dangerous to society. 647 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 5: Here obviously a very fraught year. Do you still stand 648 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 5: by those comments and if not, is there anything you 649 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 5: want to clarify. 650 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 7: I'm not going to engage in kible news talking points, 651 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 7: but what I will say is that, you know, our 652 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 7: communities need solutions, we need local people deciding. 653 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 2: I'm already a stab it. 654 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,239 Speaker 1: I hate everything about I'm not going to engage in 655 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, local talking or excuse me, political talk show 656 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: talking points, a national news whatever. 657 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: She always said that is. 658 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: That's an insane way to go about trying to disregard 659 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: the question. I'm not going to talk about the things 660 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: that I tweeted that you're asking me about that. I 661 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: said that, now are political talking points to you because 662 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: I said that I'm. 663 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 7: Not going to engage in in uh kible talking points. 664 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 7: But what I will say is. 665 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 2: That rong answer. 666 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 7: You know, our communities need solutions, we need local people 667 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 7: deciding solving local problems with local solutions, and that's not 668 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 7: the overreach of a federal government or state government is 669 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 7: of what we are dealing with in Nashville. 670 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 2: No one asked you that. By the way. 671 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: This is the other thing that makes me so angry 672 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: about politics and politicians in general, is the current talking 673 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: point is the only thing that you're capable of saying 674 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: in reaction to a topic in the wheelhouse of that 675 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: talking point, and that's not even really in its wheelhouse. 676 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: But you ask a question about policing in general to 677 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: a politician on the left, and they're going to lean 678 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: into the world of President Trump is overstepping with the 679 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: federal way in which he's trying to interject certain people 680 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: into local law enforcement, which is not what I think 681 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 1: he's doing, by the way, and at some times if 682 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: he is actually doing something closer to that, it's because 683 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: those places seem to desperately need that help and it 684 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: seems to turn out good when crime goes away. It's 685 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: weird that Democrats are like the crime party right now. 686 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: They want to defend the criminals. But I digress. I'll 687 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: move on from that. The other thing that I think 688 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: is so crazy about this and the way that she's 689 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: trying to answer it, is like, how gotcha? This is 690 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: like they've caught her red handed. They're reading her own 691 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: things that she said and since deleted to her and 692 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: asking her to respond to them, and the answer is, ah, 693 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. This is like when 694 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris pretended she wasn't radical, and people wonder why 695 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate to run after you 696 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: shoved Biden into a closet, who was also a terrible candidate, 697 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: But it was because of how radical and insane she was, 698 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: how many crazy things she said while she was in 699 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: California that she then had to pretend she didn't still believe. 700 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: And this politician is now doing the same thing as 701 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: a twenty something vocal person on social media who's definitely 702 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: too insane to be a person in a position of 703 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: political power, but refuses to acknowledge that or talk about. 704 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: So she's not going to discuss the the talking points 705 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: that exist on a cable news station. She's going to 706 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: answer the specific question about her own words with talking 707 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: points of her own. 708 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 2: Darn it all right, quick break, A lot coming up. 709 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: Craig Collins filling in on the Kendall and Casey Show 710 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: ninety three WIBC. This is the Kendall and Casey Show, 711 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins, filling in, 712 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: thrilled to be with you. I understand this is radio. 713 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: I understand you can't see the stuff that I'm looking at, 714 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: and that this topic is uniquely probably bad to do. 715 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: I'm prefacing it the worst way I can. This is 716 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: probably not a radio friendly topic, and yet I can't 717 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: help wanting to talk about this. So there's a boy 718 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: band that went viral on Twitter. Not because you've heard 719 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: of them. Their name is boy Throb by the Way, 720 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: which is creepy and weird. I'm already not a fan 721 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: of that. But the other reason it went viral. It's 722 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: three American kids. I think they're probably in their twenties. 723 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: And then one dude in India. His name is Darshawn. 724 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: Darshan is not in the United States. He is in 725 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: India where he lives. He'd like to come to the US, 726 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: and the other three members of the band, the guys 727 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: who live here in the United States, are trying to 728 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: help him. The way they're doing that is by performing. 729 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: I guess they went to a nursing home somewhere in 730 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: this country. And they performed their thing. By the way, 731 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: the boy band doesn't actually sing, they just dance. They're 732 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: a dance group only version of a boy band. It 733 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: gets worse and worse as I talk about this story. 734 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: But here's why I thought this was so stupid and 735 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: funny and also probably creepy in a lot of other ways. 736 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: They put the one guy who's in India on a 737 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: laptop screen on the stage and he dances with the 738 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: other guys as the three dudes are dancing in front 739 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: of these senior citizens in the nursing home, who, by 740 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: the way, like if a nursing home is this hard 741 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: up for entertainment, just put on a movie. You don't 742 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: need to invite boy Throb in do their weird dance 743 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: routine with the dude in India. You can probably just 744 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: watch a movie they've seen a hundred times and the 745 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: people in the nursing home are going to be happier 746 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: about it. 747 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 2: But anyway, there's a real thing. You can google it. 748 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 2: You can look it up on social media. 749 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: Twitter or x is probably the best way to go 750 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: find it. It's just so stupid and my favorite part 751 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: about the video is you can only see like the 752 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: top half of the one dude, and you can barely 753 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: see it from what they put up there. So I 754 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: don't even know if he's good at dancing, and I 755 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: don't want to know. 756 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 2: I don't care to know. 757 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: But I just think that's uniquely funny to be the 758 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: member of the dance group who only gets to show 759 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: you his arms and his face. 760 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 2: Well, because I could do that sitting. 761 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: Down, man, I could pretend I'm doing the moves with 762 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: them in this chair I'm sitting in right now and 763 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: get a half hearted version of being part of this 764 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: dance group boy band that's trying to bring over a 765 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: dude living in India by performing with him on a 766 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: video screen. I don't know if they're trying to go 767 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: for some sort of you know, like, oh, we feel 768 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: bad for the one dude who doesn't live here sort 769 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: of things pulling at the heartstrings, pull up my heartstrings, 770 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: I would be very confused. I would probably demand they 771 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: fire the person in charge of my nursing homes entertainment. 772 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: If this group came in and you can see like 773 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: eight or ten people sitting in chairs in the nursing 774 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: home because they have nowhere else to go. 775 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 2: They're trapped but I would immediately complain. 776 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm either leaving here, I'm going anywhere 777 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: else in the world, or you are firing the person 778 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: that's in charge of entertainment because this is ridiculous. And again, 779 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: I wish I could show you. I know that it's 780 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: just radio, so I have to talk about it, and 781 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: I would play the audio, but they don't sing. They 782 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: just dance, so nothing about it's going to be good. 783 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: I just found it hilarious that it exists, all right 784 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: on that ridiculous note of a thing that I'm just 785 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: encouraging you to go out there and check that's in 786 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: the world, and not to support that boy band, but 787 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 1: to know how weird things are in society and how 788 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: maybe things are better for you and than they are 789 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: for the people in that nursing home. That is something 790 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: I recommend you look up. Boy Throb, a group that 791 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: hopefully does not succeed. I'm just saying that, honestly. I 792 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: quick break a lot more Craign's in ninety three wibc 793 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
