  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Tuesday Morning, twenty, first day of April. I'm West thanks
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: for joining me. Three weeks sneep into April, zipping right
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: along my friends, zippin' right along and we are. Man,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: if you've got kids in school, you know how this goes.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: You get to spring break and then you just kind
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: of it's like a fast forward button. It's like that
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: movie Click Adam Sandler movie. You feel like somebody has
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: hit that fast forward button, that skip ahead button. Everything
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: just goes so fast from now until the end of
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the school year, especially when they get a little bit older.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I've got Jake getting ready for some AP testing in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, and Luke end of year testing
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: is he's already taken one end of year test, one final,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: because he's already this year been taking a high school
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: math class. So he is at the same high school
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: as Jake, and for that and the rest of the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: time he's at a middle school. But he's already taken
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: one of his high school finals. A little weird kind
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of having to go through that, but It's been a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: fun adventure to go through, and honestly, I'm kind of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: counting down the days of doing those pickups. He has
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to be picked up from middle school and taken to
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: high school, and that part of it is, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's part of it. And thankfully I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: am blessed to have a schedule in the afternoon that
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: allows me to do that. And we do have a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: great another family that carpools with us, so it's kind
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: of an every other day situation. But anyway, and I'm
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: not going to complain because, like I said, my schedule
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: allows it. I've been able to spend time with him
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and then get to know this other kid who's one
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: of his math buddies now has been great. So I've
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: enjoyed that aspect of it. But next year high school,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Jake will be a senior and Luke will be a freshman,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and we'll have this really sweet one year opportunity for
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Jake to drive them both to school and bring them
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: both home. And that sounds pretty spectacular for the guy
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: who's been running the dad Uber service for a while now,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I can't say that there won't be days where I'll
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: kind of miss it because I will enjoy the time
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: taking them to and from school, but there's the days
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: where I'm trying to get things done and there's those
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: challenges of getting everything done. So there's that side of it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So anyway, that's we're kind of in that, you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: nine days left in April and then they only go
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I think three weeks in May, so it's just boom
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: boom boom, will be into the summer before you know it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So we did get that nice little break in the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: weather though for us where it was warmer, and then
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: we had like a little stretch where, like yesterday morning
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we were waking up where it kind of almost felt
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: like we were skipped ahead to fall. We didn't skip
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: ahead quite that far, but we are kind of skimming
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: through this part of the school year, and I know
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the kids probably feel like it's taking forever to get
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to summer. But I know some of them are still
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: prepping for some of their final things that they've got
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to do, including finals and EP testing and whatever depending
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: on what school they're in. And I have Columbus State
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: graduation coming up next month and excited to be back
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: for that where I'll be doing the graduation ceremony for
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Columbus State again calling the names as the students graduate.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It's one of the joys of my life. I love
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: being able to do this for the students. It's something
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that I take very seriously try to get every name right.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And I'll be talking more about that, I know, in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the coming weeks. But I'm excited to be back to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: do that in less than a month. That's going to happen,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and then other big announcement. I'll get all my big
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: announcements for now out of the way. I have officially,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and I kind of already was, but I actually got
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the email inviting me back to play Mother Ginger and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the Nutcracker again this year. And my response to that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: is always yes, I'll be back. You don't even have
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: to ask. I assume that I will be playing Mother
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Ginger until you guys tell me that you've grown tired
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of me and putting up with my stuff. But I'm
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: always excited for a chance to do it. I have
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: done it. I guess this has been seven times. This
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: will be my eighth year doing it. I hit a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: point early on where I thought, if I can just
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: do it once, it'll be fun. I want people to say, Wow,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: he did a good job. That was what I wanted.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I just thought, if I can get these people to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: think that I did a good job. I took it
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a little more seriously, I think than some of the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: other people who've done the role. And I can't evaluate
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: them all, but I've been told took it a little
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: bit more seriously, just in that I put more time
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: into it. And it's no cut on them. It's just
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: people that were asked to come in and they did
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: exactly what they were asked to do, and I did
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit more because I just thought, I want
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to do this, and I want to do it. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: don't want to do it well. And again, scheduling wise,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I had opportunities to do it. I was working in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a building where I could put the stilts on at
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: work and walk up and down the halls and I had,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know, walls that were not too far apart. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: could touch both walls as I was walking, and I
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: really learned the stilts in a way that you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: other people maybe didn't have the opportunity to do. Don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: want it to sound like I'm trash talking. I've got
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: friends who have done this in the past. And I'm
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: sure they did a great job. I'm not in any
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: way they weren't asked to come back and do it again.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: If that's that's the measure of things, I'm just kidding.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So that was my first thought was do well. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: then I thought, well, do well enough maybe to get
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: asked to come back and.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Do it again.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And then I was. And then we had the COVID
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: year was my second year where we filmed it as
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a movie, and then it was you know, well you
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: want to come back and do it. We're back on stage,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and I was really itching to get back on stage.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I had that taste of doing it live in front
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of an audience, and then the movie experience was fun,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: but getting back on stage was And I thought, okay, great,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: that's three. And I thought, well, if I can get
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to five, that would be you know, great to do
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Mother Ginger five times. And then I thought, well, if
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I get to seven, that would be special because at
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: seven years, I would like when I did it last year.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: At seven years, I was fifty and I thought, well,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that's pretty cool. Seven years is significant. And then I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: had turned fifty and was still doing it. Now it's like, well,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I got to get to ten, right, I got to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: get to ten years doing it East and then some.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: As long as I'm as long as I'm able to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: do the stilts, I'm in. That's all I'm saying. So
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: appreciate them having me back and looking forward to doing
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the show again coming up in December, and we will
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: It's going to be the same weekend that we did
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it last year. The dates have obviously shifted a little
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: bit because you know, that's what happens each year. But
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the twelfth and thirteenth, or the two main shows we
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: do have a show's on the eleventh, the twelfth and
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the thirteenth, but the show's on the eleventh not open
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to the public, but December twelfth and thirteenth, or the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: two shows open to the public. So I'm really looking
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: forward to getting back on the stilts again from other Ginger.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: But that's still way off, still far off, but just
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: wanted to mention that, and again I'm excited to be
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: able to bring the old Gal back to life again,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: back as Mother Ginger. All Right. I want to talk
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: about this because I've been talking a little bit about
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Nick Shirley in the past weeks and this I haven't
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: really had a chance to talk about they stop Nick
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Shirley Act, and this is this is a good indicator
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: of how corrupt we can be. Like I know, our
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: threshold for corruption, I'm sure is even higher than this,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: because you know, we just saw a president who basically was,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: according to his own son, being fed ambient to sedate him,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: while you know, we also learned there were people just
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: using an auto pen signing legislation and laws and pardons
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and all kinds of stuff. And you know, if you
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: put the two together, you can connect the dots and say,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: if they were sedating the president of the United States
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: who was in his eighties with ambient and then and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: they were, you know, just signing legislation, I call that
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: elder abuse. I see it for what it is. No
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: one else seems to be concerned about the fact that
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that apparently was happening. But his own son talked about
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: it and said, this is what's going on, and I
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: don't know why they're choking Ambien down his throat. But
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden talked about that, said they sedated him for
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the debate against Trump, when that ultimately is what knocked
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: him out of the race. But he said, I don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: know why they're they're you know, giving him ambient And
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not a doctor, but I can tell
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you that an eighty plus year old man who's being
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: asked who should be asked to do a very long day,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a long scheduled day of events, he wasn't being asked
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to do that. He laughed about it, They joked about it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: He took long weekends. Every weekend. They were running things
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes. The level of corruption, I think that's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: probably about as high as we can get to, right.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: But there's other areas of corruption, and this is a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: great example of some corruption. So Nick Shirley is the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: YouTube journalist who and I've talked before about. You know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: you get everybody who thinks they got a cell phone,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: they're automatically a journalist. You're not. You're out doing something.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You got the guys that stand on the street corners
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: and record just to make people mad, and they call
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: themselves journalists, and they're really just trying to get the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: police to do something that violates their rights so that
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: they can follow a lawsuit. A lot of them are
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: doing that. You're not a real journalist, You're an annoyance.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: You're you're exercising your rights, and you're technically you know
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: what you're allowed to do and get away with, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you know what you're not allowed to do. So that's
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: all you are is you're just You're the guy that's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: ordering the food that maybe comes from a place where
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: it's likely to have glass in it, and you're just
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: hoping you bite on the glass. That's what you are.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Don't call yourself a journalist. I mean you have to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: for your little game that you're running. But Nick Shirley
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: is someone who has done some investigative journalism. He went
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to those businesses, those daycares that got money, lots of
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: money in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and you know, he was
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: exposing the fraud in Minnesota, that's what he did. And
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: he did it by going into these daycares and saying,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: where are of the kids? This is supposed to be
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a daycare. There's no kids here, and there were no
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: kids there, so what were they getting millions of dollars for?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And it was all part of this con, part of
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: this insane con, this fraud that was going on, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: we still I don't anyone is there going to be accountability?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it works. I mean there's accountability
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: in that. You know the governor there is Tim Walls
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: is not going to run for governor again, so we
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: at least had that come out of it. So Nick
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Shirley then said, let's focus our attention now in California.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I have evidence of fraud in California and we're going
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: to expose that. And I told you here on the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: show what was going on because Governor Gavin Newsom decided
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: to post this AI picture of what was supposed to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: be like Nick Shirley, and he had cameras on and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: he was standing at an actual daycare and he's going, hey,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: where are all the kids trying to paint him as
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: this creepy pedophile guy who was going in and he
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: wanted to get pictures and videos of these children painting
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: this picture of him as something that is not what
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: he was doing in Minnesota. But we know how they work.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: They want to paint the picture of you so that
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: people think that you're horrible, You've been demonized, you're this
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: creepy Keep in mind, though people a lot of not
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a lot, there are people on the left that would
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: defend somebody who wanted to take creepy pictures of kids
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: because they're okay, they're just minor attracted persons. You're not
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: used less to say pedophile anymore. You're not supposed to do that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: That was out. It was out for a while. I
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: don't know if they're still doing the map thing. Probably
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: some of them are. But they wanted to paint him
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: as some creepy criminal guy who you know, he's a
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: problem because, as you know, as soon as it becomes
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: part of your identity to follow their orders, and then
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: they can tell you here is someone who needs to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: be taken out, someone might take them out. So I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: told you that was coming. And then suddenly the Nick
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Shirley team had to expand and include security because he
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: started to get death threats. What a surprise, told you
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that was gonna happen, and then it happened, and then
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that's what it was. It became Nick Shirley not able
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to go out anywhere in public. He's got security, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: he still is determined to expose the fraud in California.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: So what is California's response? The elected people of California
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: did they say, Well, it would I'm sure be the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: will of the people here to have this fraud exposed. No,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: they came up with legislation to try to stop him
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: from or anyone from being able to expose the fraud.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: It's been dubbed the Stop Nick Shirley Act and it basically,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: in short, it criminalizes investigative journalism when it pertains to
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: various people that are immigration support for service providers. That's
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: what they say. It's officially called the Privacy for Immigration
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Support Service Provider's Bill, and it's pretty much like, if
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: you have come into the country and you are providing
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: some sort of service for immigration and you've gotten some
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: sort of funding for it, you're off the table. You
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: can't be investigated by journalism. This is in California, and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: people trying to understand outside of California, and I guess
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: probably hopefully some people in California asking the question, why
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: would you silence someone who's trying to expose fraud, taxpayer
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: funded fraud. Why wouldn't you do this? Now it's already
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: past the early stages. It's in the California Assembly Judiciary
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Committee and waiting for the next step to move forward.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And this is something this bill was drafted by the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Mia Banta, one of the members of the Assembly, who
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: is the wife of the California Attorney General Rob Banta.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: You gotta love when you get the relatives involved in
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: this stuff. We have a lot of this here in Columbus, Georgia,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: by the way. It's you get the relatives involved, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: we we do this thing where it's like or someone
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: serves for a long time and then they decide they're
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: not going to run again. So like their kid runs
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: for the same seat, or someone passes away and their
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: kid runs for the same seat, or you got to
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: have you know, this family member's got this elected position.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: This family member's got this elected position. Uh, that's usually
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: an indication that there's there's some potential. It doesn't mean
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: there's something going on. It just means there's potential for it.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: It's not a good look, is it. It's really not.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I've always thought like why and and don't get me wrong,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: there's there's some situations where the right person for the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: job does happen to be the family member of someone.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Just when it's happening a lot, it just seems strange
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: to me. They get shouldn't it send at least a
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: flag up that maybe there's something weird going on? Here,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and you got this in California, like, I'm gonna author
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: the author this bill, and we're gonna do this. And
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: then the Attorney general is like, right there, her husband,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: pillow talk, you're gonna help us get this guy. And
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: then you know, here in Columbus, it's been a few
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a few issues, a few eyebrows raised about things. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not accusing corruption here. I'm just pointing out the
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: fact that it sometimes it looks a little weird when
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you got it going on so many, so many different ways.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: But my relative had this, so I should have it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It seems a little odd. But if you vote for him,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: it's your choice. You're the one who's casting the ballot,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: so you get to decide whether or not the child
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: or grandchild of somebody who had the job is the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: right person for the job. Have they learned from the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: parent or grandparent, or the cousin or the mother's father's
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: brother's former roommate, whatever the connection is. Have they learned
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: what they need to learn to actually do the job?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Is also the question. Today's show brought to you by

  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it

  Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to

  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation

  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking

  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like

• 21:29
  Speaker 2: after the break, well, do you believe in psychic powers?
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: And do you think you've got psychic powers? A sixth sense?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: If you think you might have a sixth sense. Well,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: you're not alone. A lot of people think they have
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: some psychic abilities, and it's become a growing trend for
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: gen Z. A new survey found nearly twenty percent of
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Americans say that they're basically psychic. That number jumps up
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to thirty percent among gen Z. Older adults also report
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: having intuitive moments more often sensing something is off, predicting
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: what someone will say, or thinking of someone right before
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: they text. Many people say they rely on their gutt
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: at least sometimes, though many admit they can't always tell
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the difference between a real intuition and anxiety. Experts say
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: intuition typically feels calm and clear, while anxiety feels loud
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: and overwhelming. Sometimes good to just keep in mind all
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the time, really that if you can't tell the difference,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: you should keep that difference between anxiety and intuition as
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: defined by that in mind before you trust whatever it
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: is it's popping in your head. I got a little
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: bit of a theory on this. Let me just I'm
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: just going to float this out there and you do
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: with it as you please. But I think maybe the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: reason that people are kind of feeling this a little
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: bit is. I think there have been a growing number
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: of people that are on the autism spectrum, on the
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: ASD spectrum, and people who are on the spectrum have
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a tendency to notice patterns in things and be able
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: to kind of see things coming. So I don't know
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: how much of it is actually as much intuition as
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: it's just kind of pattern recognition. It's like that O's
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: guy that does the mind reading. He's not really reading
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: people's minds. He's got little things that he's using to
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: plant thoughts or kind of make predictions, and he's done
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: some research and those kinds of things. So I'm not
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: saying autism is a parlor trick. That's not what I mean.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I just think that some people maybe are touching into
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: this intuitive area because they do recognize patterns, they do
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: see things maybe that other people don't see. That's my
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: theory on why maybe people feel like it's a growing thing,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: at least in numbers. So being happy not just about
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: having more good days than bad days, according to research.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Actual research says it's about feeling like you're in control
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: of your own life. Study found that people judge their
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: lives not only by how good they feel but by
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: whether they believe they're free to make their own choices.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Even when research accounted for positive emotions, autonomy still stood
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: out as a key factor in satisfaction. In other words,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you could feel like you're having a good day and
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: still feel unfulfilled if the rest of your life feels constrained.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: So the takeaway is a truly fulfilling life depends on
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: more than comfort and pleasure. It requires a sense of freedom, agency,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: and ownership over your decisions big and small. This relates
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: to what I tell people when we talk about the
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: most recent presidential election two years ago. This is a
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: big part of why Donald Trump won is we have
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: gone through this and it's a major problem on the left,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the left of center, more centrist people on the left
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: need to acknowledge that you're not going to win over
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: people right of center in any election which you need.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: These people, undecided, people in the middle. They're not going
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to be won over by telling them what they're supposed
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to think. It's just the way it is. And you
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: have Donald Trump, who is somebody who is not telling
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you what to think, and he certainly does not fit
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: the norms of what a president would normally think and say,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: but we had so much three, four or five years
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: ago where people were telling you, this is what you're
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: supposed to think, this is how you're supposed to act,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: this is what you're supposed to do, and a lot
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: of people were just done with it, and they were
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: just fed up with it. And it's part of why
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: there were spikes in different races, different groups, male and female.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: People want this. They want autonomy, They want to be
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: able to say no, I want to do what I
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: want to do. So there you go. Australian billionaires plan
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: to build and set sail an exact replica of the
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Titanic has already kind of hit its iceberg, if you will.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Clive Palmer's Titanic two of five, not literally, a five
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: hundred million dollar project meant to recreate the look and
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: feel of the original ship from nineteen twelve, was expected
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: to set sail next year. Now he says it could
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: be at least five more years before the vessel was ready.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: The ship was designed to mirror the original Titanic down
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: to the gym, the Turkish baths, the famous Grand staircase,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: while adding modern day safety features extra lifeboats. That's a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: good idea wider hull another good idea originally slated for
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: launching twenty eighteen, pushed back and then put again now.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Palmer says the design process took far longer than expected.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: The pandemic calls some delays and construction. Despite that, he
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: insists he has the money and the ambition to finish
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: the project, calling Titanic to far superior to the original.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: When it is completed, it will sal the original Titanic's
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: route from Southampton, England to New York. That's the plan.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: That was the plan back then too, So we'll see
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: how this goes moving forward. That'll do it for this
• 27:31
