• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Man Dog.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: We're all afraid to speak the truth. And the more
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: You're ashamed to be American. Okay, that's coat, because honestly,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: we are all ashamed of you Tube. So the forecast.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: So I've got a silly question. Well, I don't think
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: it's really a silly question. It's sort of. Actually it's
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: silly that it's just one question and we really haven't
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: managed to come up with a satisfactory answer to it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with us? I know you're looking at the radio,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: said you narrow it down a little bit, shoe. So
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: we went yesterday and I stayed up past my nominal
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: East Coast bedtime for a presentation by.
• 14:02
  Speaker 12: A group.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: It was called Sony Honda Mobility. And I'm thinking, all right,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: so I'm old enough to remember, you know, if you
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: bought a Honda and then you went to the store
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: and bought a Sony stereo and got underneath the dashboard,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: spent way too long trying to figure out a ganglion
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: of wires and put your Sony stereo into your Honda's dashboard,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: probably having to come up with some creative solution to
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: the fact that doesn't fit. And so I went to
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: this thing. It was right at the end of media
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: day two yesterday, and everyone, all the high ranking Honda
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: and Sony officials were there. A lot of broken English.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: You think you're the head of Honda. Yeah, I like
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: coach somebody. You know, I understand es l But you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: it was I've sat through some tough presentations, but they
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: were introducing this this thing. I'm gonna I'm gonna call
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: it a car, although I was corrected twice. It's a
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: mobility I'm not even sure what what thing it is.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: It's just it's a mobility device. And and what I
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: could only help but describe as what was being explained
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: was this was a a living room or a man
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: cave on wheels. It was a sitting room on wheels.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: If you know your your grandma had a sitting room
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: in the front of her house and you go in there.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: There was no TV, no radio, You sat, That's where
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: you sat and had tea. That's that's what they were
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: describing as a sitting room on wheels. It's autonomous. Although
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting they kept referring to the
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: driver's experience. If this is an autonomous vehicle, and its
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: design is to lead us to a place where the
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: interior of these transportation devices. They never used the word car.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: They used the word driver a lot. And that's what
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: I thought really stood out, is if this isn't a car,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: it's a sitting room on wheels, and it's all meant
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: to be autonomous, why do you keep using the word driver.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I even said that to somebody, said he anice. To me,
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: I said, why is their driver's seat? Why not just
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: have you know, like the old El Caminos, if you're
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: old enough to remember, like the late seventies early eighties
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Chevy El Camino pickup trucks that had the swivel bucket seats,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: which I'm sure where a highway traffic safety nightmare, But
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: you had bucket seats that would literally swivel so you
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: could turn the driver's seat out towards the side of
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: the vehicle and sit and hang out on the beaches
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: of southern California, which were always the advertisements for it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: But why have a driver's seat? Why have this whole
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: thing set up around a driver's seat with a steering
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: wheel If this is supposed to be an autonomous vehicle.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Now I was telling you, my wife, here's the gig
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: on these things that you're not supposed to own one.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Nobody is supposed to own one. They're too expensive to
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: be owned. What you will have are communities that will
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: purchase them. Everyone will chip in and it won't be
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: mass transit. It won't even be micro transit. It's going
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: to be community transit. It'll be you know, your cul
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: de sac, all chips in. It's car pooling. And that's
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: the market place for these things. Are this quasi municipal
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: transit systems, these micro transits, it's government uber because they're
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: way too expensive to be owned by an individual. I
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: mean unless you're Elon Musk, and I think you have
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: a car of your own at this point. If you're
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: picking up a Honda and your Elon Musk, there's your
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: news story, boys and girls. But it was just interesting
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: listening to all the ways to avoid using words like automobile, car, transportation, driving.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: They never used the word driving was mobility And what
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: focus group has decided that these words like driving and
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: automobile are inefficient And I get it. I've got a
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: lot of people in my ear hole telling me we're
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: not a radio company we're a media company. We're where
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: a spoken word. I remember the first time somebody said,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: it's not talk radio, it's spoken word. I don't know.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: That sounds like John Gielgood's doing a recitation spoken word.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I just I've never been that guy
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: that gets into all the rebranding and the and the
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: cool kid word and the oh, it's not a car,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: it's a mobility device. And I guess every generation goes
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: through it. And I really fight the urge to be
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: that curmudgeon sitting on my porch going, get off my lawn.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: It's not a lawn, sir, it's a front yard habitation. Oh,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna throttle you. What is this called? I call
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: it a shotgun. It's an atholt weapon there. So I just,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: you know, I thought i'd share that with you. Of course,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: our coverage here. It's a fascinating car. I mean, the
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: technology of it, all of that. I want to know
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: what happens when the grid goes down, when Kim Jong
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: un or his daughter or whoever. Have you noticed all
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: the stories out of Korea. Now, Kim Jong UN's daughter,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: who looks a lot like Kim Jong Un, only in address,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: not judging has been doing all these public appearances and
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: people are saying that she's really running things now. I
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: don't know, you know, is it like Sleeper the Woody
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Allen movie.
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: You get the nose, Save the nose.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: But when whoever's running North Korea's woodstock two missiles swirl
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: around like the bird from the Charlie Brown comics until
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: they fall into the Sea of pan far from wherever
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: it was they were aiming it. But one of these
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: days they're going to get one up into the atmosphere
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: and shoot off an EMP. And what is the redundant
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: system on these things? If everything goes pear shaped and
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Kim Jong un sets off an EMP somewhere over Santa Monica,
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: we do the cars just stop? I hope that's what happens.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Is that if they lose in because if you lose
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: internet service, but the electric car is autonomous and it's
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: got enough juice to keep driving, what does it? Does
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: it go wiley coyote and start looking for some rock
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: face to drive into? Does it just keep going until
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: something harder and more firmly planted gets in its way?
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: It's always my concern in these kind of things, is,
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: you know, we become too reliant on things.
• 21:58
  Speaker 18: And it's Brandt And her name is Shary.

• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: that speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: AI supports veterinary teams in exciting ways.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: We're using AI.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: To develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: kidney disease, and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: focus more on patients. But, as with any new technology,
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: always keep a human in the loop to maintain the
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: best pet healthcare. AI is a powerful tool, but not
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: a replacement for your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which

  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Here from the Consumer Electronics Show. Thanks to our friends
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: at mccrurry Animal Clinic. Reminding you that when the technology
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: gets to be a little too much. You don't have
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: to rebrand them as well, and we do anyway. There
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: are human four footed companions are our therapy companions, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: it's your pets, your dog, your cat. They don't care.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Just a quick note, dogs, cats couldn't care less. What
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: you call them is as long as you feed them
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: and take care of them and give them a little
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: shelter and share some emotion with him. I'm not saying
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: that they don't have an emotional connection to you, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: if you call them your support companion, they still hear
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: the word cat there, And I mean certainly cat is
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: much more in the line of tough love. Some people
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: need that. Some people need a judgment every now and then.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: You know Mom's not around anymore. So a cat staring
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: at you, judging you is sometimes what people need. We
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: don't make big hay about that, but McCurry Animal Clinic says,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: get yourself a good shelter. Pat there four three four
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: eight eight two four two one seven Scott out in
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Virginia Beach tuning in this morning, and we appreciate folks.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: There special elections going on in our flagship state today
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: because the General Assembly has got a whole bunch of
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: empty seats because the governor has called upon a lot
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: of members of the Democratic concus to join her in
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: her administration. So there's special elections going on. And here's
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: the interesting thing. So the Democratic Party here is doing
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: their version of the anti Texas redistricting. It's sort of
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: the opposite of what California does. California asks the voters
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: to vote first and then does the deed later if
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: they can get the voters to support it. But in
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Virginia it's the other way around. They do whatever they
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: want and then they ask the voters to support it
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: once it's already happened. And in this process they want
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: to create eleven congressional districts, ten of which by voting history,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: are majority Democrat. And I say by voting history, because
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Virginia is one of those states that you don't register
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: to vote in a political party. New York, you know,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: so many places they ask you, you know, all you're
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: registering a voute, which party are you a member of?
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Now I'm not a huge fan of that. I think
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: it's still its part and parcel of giving these political
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: parties too much intrinsic power. But what they want to
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: do is they want to stretch these districts, and there
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: are pockets just like there are in any place, because
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: we're terribly undermandered. You've heard of jerrymandard. We are undermandered.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: George Mason, one of the founding fathers, thought we should
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: have congressional districts no larger than fifty thousand citizens per
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: as the most important thing in his mind to protect
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: against an out of control federal government. That didn't pass
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: when they were ratifying the Bill of Rights. But what
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: we did managed to have were congressional districts that I
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: think by the time nineteen twenty nine came around, districts
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: were somewhere around two hundred thousand citizens per but they
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: were growing, and they were growing after the Civil War
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: and a lot of the Dixiecrats who found themselves oddly
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: and great power in Congress, mostly because I think the
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Northern Congress people felt bad and allowed them to filibuster
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: and just sort of run the table on things for
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: many years. The Dixiecrats, Woodrow Wilson and all the technocrats
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: and the racists. Those are all fancy words. We just
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: did a whole segment on rebranding. I mean, you can
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: call them technocrats, you can call them, you know, reformers,
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: whatever they were. Racist is the word that is most
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: easily applied to them. And they were concerned that as
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: the black population grew, and there's coordination in time the
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Black Wall Street riots and the nineteen twenty Act. Nineteen
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: twenty nine was when they finally passed it, but the
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: first time they had promoted it was after the nineteen
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: twenty census, and they were discovering that wealthy black communities
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: were getting larger and larger, and therefore they would have
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: more and more congressional representation, and we can't have that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: So the Dixiecrats, see racist, pass this nineteen twenty nine
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Act for permanent reapportionment, meaning we have a House of Representatives,
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: that is, it's frozen in time at four hundred and
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: thirty five members, exactly where it was in nineteen twenty nine.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: And that's how we wind up with this rearranging the
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: deck chairs on the Titanic stuff. But in Virginia they
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: want to countermanned Texas. The bill that they're going to
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: use to try to do this actually says Virginia will
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: take this action whenever another state redistricts. Really okay, that
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: seems independent. That's really inspiring from the home of Thomas Jefferson.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: And we hold these truths to be self evident. But so,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: the special election is coming up today in districts that
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: are twenty percent higher Democrat voter turnout than Republican. The
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: consultant class calls them D plus twenty D plus forty
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: p plus there. I mean, these are districts there. It's crazy.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: And the funny thing is is they don't want to
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: change those, but they want to stretch out all the
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: congressional districts. Some of them are heavily Democrat around Richmond
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: and Northern Virginia and so, but they want to take
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: these D plus twelve D plus twenty congressional districts and
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: storch them out across Virginia to create D plus two
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: by voting history districts just far enough so it wouldn't,
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: you know, create a fifty to fifty split historically. And
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: here's where I feel like they're the Democrats are committing
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: a grave error because they're basing this on previous election histories.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Those previous election histories have had fifty sixty percent voter
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: turnout if you create a district that's all of a
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: sudden much closer, I think you see a turnout on
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: the Republican side much higher. I think they could wind
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: up losing a lot more of those seats just by
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: the arrogance of saying, well, we've got this locked. We're
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: going to stretch these districts out and we're never going
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: to lose again. Now, the nose counters in politics, But
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of handling on this special election day
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: in Virginia because these districts are historically heavily Democrat. But
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: if you can flip one, you can stop a lot
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: of this because the House of Delegates would become a
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: fifty to fifty split. And so there's a lot of
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: folks who are like Scott, you're out there. They're going
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: to have these special elections today because you need to
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: fill these seats because the General Assembly convenes one week
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: from today and it can't have empty seats there. Although
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: I still think none of the above should always be
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: a choice on every pallet, sometimes internally like political parties
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: will at their convention give their voters the choice of
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: none of the above. That's our friend Lawrence when he
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: was running for the congressional nomination from the Democratic Party.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: He won. None of the above finished second, and another
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: guy finished third. And you know, I don't know which
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: is worse, narrowly beating out none of the above or
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: finishing third behind none of the above, but neither one
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: is a good look. But I would be personally quite
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: happy to watch a political system that allowed none of
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: the above to actually be a legitimate choice on all
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: the ballots. And I think you'd see a political class
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: that was paying a little bit more attention to what
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: their job is supposed to be, aka defending our rights.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: But voter turnout going to be very low special election today,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: so they're all hi.
• 38:02
  Speaker 21: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
• 38:05
  Speaker 21: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
• 38:08
  Speaker 21: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
• 38:13
  Speaker 21: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
• 38:17
  Speaker 21: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 21: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 21: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 21: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 21: Savings Kit, Tax Savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 21: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an

  Speaker 2: the first thing today.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: The kind of build the rights the cock to ju
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: should what's it worth if we don't hold up to
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: it nothing?
• 44:25
  Speaker 12: You know they're going to cry us down.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Until later. Ready, That's what's really going on here. There's
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of people like, you know what, I don't
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: need the right to free speech. I don't need the
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: right to defend myself. I don't need the right to privacy.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything wrong. I don't need the right
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: to defend myself in court. I'm not doing anything wrong.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: And I think all these things are getting in the
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: way of getting the bad guys and doing all the
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: things I think should be done. And it's like the
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: Neme poem. First they came for the trade unionists and
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't say anything because I wasn't a trade unionist.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: And we shrug and we say, well, nobody's stopping my
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: free speech. And you watch what's going on Venezuela. So
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: they issue a writ on Saturday, apparently, you know, immediately
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: after Meduro was taken into custody by the DEA, saying
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: go get all the people. It's like Frenchy in the
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Casa blanket go round up the usual suspects. And they
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: announced that they did this on Monday. See, you want
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: to live in that world where you could be arrested
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: for something you didn't even know people were looking for you.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: And there are folks who would say, well, of course
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't announce to the bad guys that you were
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: going to go looking for them. And the people who
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: are supporting this stuff are the same ones who run
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: the way websites telling you where the ICE agents are
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: going to be. Uh funny, that isn't it. Meanwhile, you
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: know Tom Homan is telling you, yeah, we're coming into
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Phoenix who are going to do an enforcement thing. And
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: then you know the mayors and the city councilors from
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: these towns, after they change their soiled underpants, you know,
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: we'll post up on their face. Be careful on the
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: corner of Fifth and elm Ice is going to be
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: there doing an enforcement activity. And these are the same
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: folks who support this Delsi Rodriguez and her, you know,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: round up the usual suspects stuff here at the Consumer
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: Electronics show. And I mentioned consumer is an important word
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: in this because it's not all smartphones and big screen
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: TVs though there's lots of that. I ran into the
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: guys from Bobcat. You know, Bobcat diggers and post hole diggers.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Remember the most import and PhD in a free country
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: is a post hole digger and uh uh Joel Honeyman
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: from Bobcats sat down with talk about tech and Bobcats.
• 47:14
  Speaker 23: What we think about is how can we use technology
• 47:16
  Speaker 23: to help operator?
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 47:19
  Speaker 23: I think people think about some little stick is to
• 47:21
  Speaker 23: remove the operator.
• 47:23
  Speaker 12: We don't think like.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: That at all.
• 47:24
  Speaker 12: But in some ways, how can we assistant.
• 47:26
  Speaker 23: Operator with some technology different?
• 47:29
  Speaker 24: Maybe that's for a new operators to help and.
• 47:34
  Speaker 23: Efficient spot efficient, not trench score efficiency, just the.
• 47:39
  Speaker 12: Little things along the way.
• 47:40
  Speaker 23: And so those are the kinds of technologies they've really possible.
• 47:44
  Speaker 12: That interesting, but you know it's interesting.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about the history of the equipment like Bobcat,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: and I'm sure the same things we've said when Bobcat
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: first came out and he said, well, you're gonna put
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: all these shovel diggers, all those trench diggers out of
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: it where there's a machinery, and I mean it just
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: even changes what can be done to the job site.
• 48:03
  Speaker 12: It turns more hands into other.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: Things, and we've moved into a lot of bookings, not
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: just the movie. We're going to be at the Virginia
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: Farm Show in this coming weekend. And so much of
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: our agriculture business is changing because.
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: Of AI, because of all the adaptive technology.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Talk about that, well, we get a lot of repressed farmers, right,
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: So our technology is based on agriculture.
• 48:28
  Speaker 12: I can go on a farm.
• 48:30
  Speaker 23: Were have generation farmers in Norman coaches, So I understand.
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: It very well. I've heard this as the accent.
• 48:35
  Speaker 23: Yeah, and so it's.
• 48:36
  Speaker 12: Just a matter of how much explain I think about.
• 48:40
  Speaker 24: On my you know, on our farm at home, we
• 48:42
  Speaker 24: took one of the terms war zone from my brother years.
• 48:45
  Speaker 12: He thought it was the neatest thing.
• 48:47
  Speaker 23: He's got five acres in the start of his house
• 48:49
  Speaker 23: that two weeks Tom I voted for years as a
• 48:52
  Speaker 23: kids growing up.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: It was the worst job of the farm, that's right,
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: and you love like he says, this is the best.
• 48:57
  Speaker 23: I'd say he's ever in half. And so we get
• 49:00
  Speaker 23: pictures from the very more dairy farms, dairy barties. Maybe
• 49:04
  Speaker 23: it's a green elegator and socilize the grame, you know,
• 49:08
  Speaker 23: and using an automative feature on a red potation, I'm
• 49:11
  Speaker 23: going to be it. So those are the ways can
• 49:14
  Speaker 23: help out.
• 49:14
  Speaker 24: Again, it's not about the show red instructure, but maybe
• 49:18
  Speaker 24: it's about the redundant, really dirty ones and somebody.
• 49:21
  Speaker 12: Just don't want to do well.
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: And like you said, you could then take and statistically
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: brought rolled out during the presentation, forty percent of the
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: manufacturing where the job site workforce is aging out by
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: GM thirty one.
• 49:35
  Speaker 12: That's a crazy That's that's why it is. It is close.
• 49:38
  Speaker 12: So we have to think about them.
• 49:40
  Speaker 23: You're already hearing a customers they can't find them.
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: So what we think about is are there particular US
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: and ativinations.
• 49:48
  Speaker 24: That should be more automated while others are going to
• 49:51
  Speaker 24: require an operator, probably.
• 49:52
  Speaker 12: From but some of the other ones maybe Camby Art.
• 49:56
  Speaker 24: Yeah, and so that's what so last years, this is
• 50:00
  Speaker 24: what the show.
• 50:00
  Speaker 13: We're just a ton of this mold.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: It's really a lot of request automated more you guys guys.
• 50:07
  Speaker 23: Yeah, but you know it's like I mentioned.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: On the fire, so you get an automated bushog how
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: you're doing something there right exactly? So ulterior motives, you know,
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: just come over your work bost so I have to
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: move by transmitter site and I need a trench stuff
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: for Dominion energy, and I'm waiting for the guy to
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: do it. I'm thinking, your technology, I could just program
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: and dig this trench that I can do it.
• 50:29
  Speaker 23: You know what, it's not that far.
• 50:30
  Speaker 24: Away, it really like, it really isn't And I tell
• 50:33
  Speaker 24: people that, like, it's it's close, but it has to
• 50:37
  Speaker 24: be simple and tho.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Th people like.
• 50:38
  Speaker 23: That's the other part. It's a lot of the startup world.
• 50:41
  Speaker 23: They're working on some of these things.
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: They're really complex and other things.
• 50:44
  Speaker 23: It's got to work every time. It's got to work
• 50:46
  Speaker 23: for the operator, but the tech is gone.
• 50:49
  Speaker 12: So talk about the operator experience. Is is there a
• 50:53
  Speaker 12: resistance to it or I see it and say, oh,
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: thank god, this is fine to hear.
• 50:58
  Speaker 23: Well, there's resistance if it's done right. We're all using
• 51:02
  Speaker 23: some technology.
• 51:03
  Speaker 24: If it doesn't, if we have an app that doesn't
• 51:04
  Speaker 24: work on our phone or a feature or a bond,
• 51:06
  Speaker 24: we don't use it right right, right, we won't use it.
• 51:10
  Speaker 23: But if it's simple and easy to use and people go, oh, this.
• 51:14
  Speaker 24: Just helps me, and it just it doesn't interfere and
• 51:16
  Speaker 24: it works every time.
• 51:17
  Speaker 23: Then I think it's about it, and.
• 51:19
  Speaker 12: That's how we think about the podcast.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: So what we're seeing here at the Consumer Electronics Show,
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: how much of it is that the Bobcat dealer in
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Charlottesville on Pantops or in Fishersville, Well.
• 51:30
  Speaker 23: Some of it is, and some of it will be
• 51:32
  Speaker 23: this year.
• 51:33
  Speaker 24: So there's a number of these that are going to
• 51:35
  Speaker 24: be launched later on this year that we we've talked
• 51:38
  Speaker 24: about and.
• 51:39
  Speaker 23: So again we're really excited to get some of these out.
• 51:42
  Speaker 12: In the marketplace.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: So if somebody has just invested in a Bobcat, you
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: earthmover or something like that trench, you know, is some
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: of the stuff going to be retrofitable onto what they've
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: purchased recently, Yes.
• 51:56
  Speaker 12: It will be done.
• 51:57
  Speaker 24: So like that Max Control then we commercialized for many years,
• 52:01
  Speaker 24: and this is where you can use an iPhone to
• 52:03
  Speaker 24: control one of your voters.
• 52:05
  Speaker 23: That goes back to voters with our choice to controls
• 52:08
  Speaker 23: all the way to two thousand and three.
• 52:09
  Speaker 12: Okay, we could go back.
• 52:10
  Speaker 23: And add that feature.
• 52:12
  Speaker 24: So we've had a number of customers said, hey, I
• 52:14
  Speaker 24: can put this technology on a morning.
• 52:16
  Speaker 12: It's ten years old.
• 52:16
  Speaker 24: This you can just plug plug that right in and
• 52:19
  Speaker 24: so we're thinking about that and some of the other
• 52:21
  Speaker 24: technologies that can be simply added on to that the plumber.
• 52:25
  Speaker 12: Where can people find.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Out what is it?
• 52:27
  Speaker 12: But just podcast bobcat dot com. Go to www dot

• 52:46
  Speaker 23: for him.
• 52:47
  Speaker 12: Joel, Joel Honeyman, thank you so much for you.
