Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Thursday morning, first day of May. You the justin Timberlake.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Queue him up. This is his day, It's his big day.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Gotta celebrate everything that is justin Timberlake. This is his
- 0:23Speaker 2: big day, and you gotta celebrate everything that is justin Timberlake.
- 0:29Speaker 2: On May. I saw an interview with him where he
- 0:33Speaker 2: said that when they when they did the song, he
- 0:37Speaker 2: did the lyric you know it's gonna be me, and
- 0:41Speaker 2: someone I guess producing the record told him say it
- 0:45Speaker 2: more like May, and he reluctantly did. But you know,
- 0:49Speaker 2: they were recording an album and you have a producer
- 0:52Speaker 2: and you're following you know the rules, I guess, and
- 0:56Speaker 2: you record it probably you know, you just record it
- 0:59Speaker 2: and let them decide whatever's going to happen with it.
- 1:02Speaker 2: And he, you know, didn't really think it was necessarily
- 1:06Speaker 2: the right way to go with it, but he did
- 1:07Speaker 2: his job and recorded it. And then that became like
- 1:10Speaker 2: the signature thing about the song. And here we are,
- 1:14Speaker 2: all these years later, people are still celebrating on May
- 1:17Speaker 2: the first that it is in fact now May and
- 1:21Speaker 2: yesterday was the it's going to be May Day. I
- 1:25Speaker 2: guess I don't know. The whole lead up to it
- 1:28Speaker 2: is unofficial. I like to celebrate Joey Fatone personally today.
- 1:34Speaker 2: You know, he likes hot dogs. We're getting into that
- 1:37Speaker 2: time of year. He sells hot dogs. This is not
- 1:40Speaker 2: a fat joke. Even though a guy named Joey Fatone
- 1:44Speaker 2: spelled fat one. He decided to steer into it. And
- 1:49Speaker 2: I'm not making fun of anybody's wait, not at all.
- 1:53Speaker 2: He decided to steer into it and open fat One's
- 1:57Speaker 2: hot dogs and he sells hot dogs as Joey you know,
- 2:01Speaker 2: fat Ones hot dogs, and good for him. And we're
- 2:05Speaker 2: getting into May, which means, you know, Memorial Days coming up,
- 2:08Speaker 2: the unofficial start of summer. And you know it's obviously
- 2:14Speaker 2: we know what Memorial Day is really about, but for
- 2:17Speaker 2: many that's when they kind of get into the summer activities,
- 2:19Speaker 2: the grilling, and it's when a lot of hot dogs
- 2:22Speaker 2: get eaten. So I think it's appropriate to take a
- 2:24Speaker 2: minute and acknowledge Joey Fotone on this May the first
- 2:28Speaker 2: I think that's only fair. Doesn't have to all be
- 2:31Speaker 2: about justin Timber, like we get it. He's had the
- 2:34Speaker 2: biggest success beyond in ZYNC. We get that, we all understand.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I don't think that's a surprise to anybody. And I
- 2:43Speaker 2: think Joey Fatone's done fine for himself, you know, game
- 2:46Speaker 2: show host and shows up on and practical Jokers every
- 2:51Speaker 2: now and then. I think he's doing all right. I
- 2:53Speaker 2: met him at Dragon Con years ago. Nice enough guy.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I didn't get to hang out with very much, but
- 3:00Speaker 2: you know, it's like at a bar and talk to
- 3:03Speaker 2: him for a bit, took a photo and that was
- 3:04Speaker 2: about it. All right, Let's get into something. This is
- 3:09Speaker 2: one of those stories that it's so almost predictable, but
- 3:14Speaker 2: it's embarrassingly predictable. And when I tell you that, it's
- 3:21Speaker 2: about House Minority Leader Keem Jeffries, who began his time
- 3:31Speaker 2: as in his role in leadership in the House the
- 3:37Speaker 2: most embarrassing way possible, I think, well, one of the most.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I don't know. I think if he get tripped and
- 3:42Speaker 2: fallen on his way in, it would have been less
- 3:45Speaker 2: embarrassing than his little ABC's of being a Democrat that
- 3:49Speaker 2: he did, or he was, ay, we will always look
- 3:52Speaker 2: out for you, b we will be there for you. Whatever.
- 3:57Speaker 2: It was so dumb, it was so I knew people
- 3:59Speaker 2: that were like, what a great thing to do, and
- 4:01Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, if you're in second grade. I think
- 4:04Speaker 2: there's a point maybe second grade isn't fair. I think
- 4:08Speaker 2: maybe once you get into double digits, if you're still
- 4:12Speaker 2: using the ABC thing to lay out like anything, like,
- 4:16Speaker 2: if you're trying to do that as an adult, it's
- 4:19Speaker 2: pretty embarrassing. And that's the best that they had. That's
- 4:23Speaker 2: the best they had for that role. That's the best
- 4:25Speaker 2: they had for somebody that they said, Ah, we're gonna
- 4:27Speaker 2: make in one of our next big superstars. This guy
- 4:30Speaker 2: could be the franchise one day. Oh, I realize they
- 4:35Speaker 2: don't have a bench. They don't have a deep bench.
- 4:37Speaker 2: If they have a bench at all, they got nobody.
- 4:41Speaker 2: I mean maybe Gavin Newsom, but even that's embarrassing. I mean,
- 4:47Speaker 2: guys trying to go back and you know, erace history,
- 4:52Speaker 2: trying to go back and say I never said the
- 4:55Speaker 2: thing that you have a quote of me saying, recorded
- 4:59Speaker 2: on video and or audio and or exclusively audio, I
- 5:05Speaker 2: should say so. But he's trying to pull that off
- 5:08Speaker 2: and trying to pretend he's got the magic eraser and
- 5:10Speaker 2: he's trying to play the revisionist history game that is
- 5:13Speaker 2: trying to make himself a legitimate candidate for president. That's
- 5:16Speaker 2: what he thinks is on the horizon for himself. But
- 5:20Speaker 2: then here's Akeem Jeffries, who has now gone out in
- 5:25Speaker 2: public and given a speech in front of God and
- 5:29Speaker 2: everyone where it's almost hard to even say it, it
- 5:36Speaker 2: really is, it's hard to say it, but he has
- 5:40Speaker 2: said that he thinks that the current president Trump, his
- 5:50Speaker 2: mental cognition, his competency, he may not be fit for
- 5:56Speaker 2: the job. Yeah, he said it, and I guess with
- 6:02Speaker 2: no irony, there was no sense of what am I saying?
- 6:06Speaker 2: What are we doing? He just said it like he
- 6:09Speaker 2: just thought everybody was just going to swallow it. And
- 6:11Speaker 2: I assume that there will be lots of members of
- 6:13Speaker 2: the press, especially in the next couple of days to weeks,
- 6:17Speaker 2: that will start this heavy campaign of twenty fifth Amendment.
- 6:22Speaker 2: We have to get him out of here. We don't
- 6:25Speaker 2: like him, so therefore he must be unfit to lead. Now,
- 6:29Speaker 2: what's completely lost on him and so many others is
- 6:34Speaker 2: the cold, harsh reality that I guess they've already forgotten,
- 6:42Speaker 2: and that's that we just had a president who easily
- 6:46Speaker 2: at any point could have been tossed out with the
- 6:51Speaker 2: twenty fifth Amendment, and we knew that a lot longer
- 6:56Speaker 2: than they allowed us to know that. See, there was
- 6:59Speaker 2: a point where they were the gatekeepers. They protected this
- 7:04Speaker 2: information about Biden as if they knew that if they
- 7:09Speaker 2: were to let this information get out, it would make
- 7:11Speaker 2: them look bad, It would make the party look bad.
- 7:15Speaker 2: It would mean they were going to have to find
- 7:18Speaker 2: somebody else to run for president, somebody else that would
- 7:23Speaker 2: be very easily manipulated and controlled, somebody else who they
- 7:28Speaker 2: could just do whatever they wanted to do behind the
- 7:30Speaker 2: scenes and sign his name on papers with a virtual
- 7:34Speaker 2: signature that they could walk in I guess at times
- 7:37Speaker 2: and hand him papers and just tell him that it
- 7:39Speaker 2: said one thing, and then him sign it, and then
- 7:42Speaker 2: they walk out and turn it in. This is a
- 7:44Speaker 2: report that came from the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson,
- 7:47Speaker 2: who said that that's what had happened in at least
- 7:51Speaker 2: one instance. And Biden said, I never signed that, and
- 7:55Speaker 2: Johnson said, yeah, you did. And he said, well, that's
- 7:57Speaker 2: not what they told me I was signing. So either
- 8:00Speaker 2: he was lying or they lied to him. Okay, but
- 8:04Speaker 2: that's a first hand story that came from the Speaker
- 8:07Speaker 2: of the House, and if it happened, you should be upset.
- 8:12Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what party you're affiliated with or what
- 8:14Speaker 2: party you choose.
- 8:15Speaker 1: To vote with.
- 8:16Speaker 2: If that happened, you should be upset with it. And
- 8:20Speaker 2: you can say, well, yeah, it didn't happen, Johnson's a
- 8:22Speaker 2: big fat liar, or whatever your argument's going to be for,
- 8:24Speaker 2: but you have to step back and say, well, wait
- 8:26Speaker 2: a minute, if it did happen, you should be upset.
- 8:30Speaker 2: And you don't know one way or the other for
- 8:32Speaker 2: sure if it happened, just like I don't know for
- 8:34Speaker 2: sure if it happened, I would think that the Speaker
- 8:38Speaker 2: of the House could be taken at his word, especially
- 8:40Speaker 2: when we learned late in the year for certain that
- 8:47Speaker 2: Joe Biden was not competent to run for president, and
- 8:49Speaker 2: we know that he wasn't competent to be president, and
- 8:52Speaker 2: that he wasn't really doing a lot of the work.
- 8:56Speaker 2: It was being done on his behalf by others, including
- 9:01Speaker 2: but probably not limited to the stories about his wife
- 9:05Speaker 2: running cabinet meetings, who was not elected to anything. Right,
- 9:10Speaker 2: she was the first lady, that's all she was. That
- 9:12Speaker 2: was her job. That's her role in the White House.
- 9:15Speaker 2: The First lady's responsibility, of course, is to you know,
- 9:19Speaker 2: she does work for the American people and for the
- 9:22Speaker 2: rest of her life. She should go to you know, funerals,
- 9:26Speaker 2: she should go to inauguration, she should go to things
- 9:29Speaker 2: where her husband will go. And as an employee basically
- 9:35Speaker 2: of the American people, that's kind of the role you
- 9:40Speaker 2: step into the role. That's your job, unless you just
- 9:43Speaker 2: don't feel like going because I'm a strong woman and
- 9:46Speaker 2: I don't have to go. But that's a different First Lady.
- 9:48Speaker 2: We don't really know what Jill Biden's going to do.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Maybe she'll be you know, doctoring people, doctoring kids at
- 9:56Speaker 2: school or whatever. So anyway, we had a president that
- 10:01Speaker 2: we know wasn't able to do the job. We know
- 10:03Speaker 2: a president who was not competent to do the job.
- 10:06Speaker 2: We discovered that that's where we were. Many of us
- 10:10Speaker 2: discovered that's where we were a long time ago. But
- 10:15Speaker 2: Democrats didn't want us to know that because they were
- 10:17Speaker 2: concerned that they thought he was the only person who
- 10:21Speaker 2: could beat Trump running for president. They knew Hillary Clinton
- 10:24Speaker 2: couldn't do it, even though it was basically her hand
- 10:27Speaker 2: picked opponent and their hand picked opponent to run against her,
- 10:32Speaker 2: and then Trump won. Biden, in the midst of everything
- 10:36Speaker 2: with COVID, managed to win. So they said, well, this
- 10:38Speaker 2: is the only person who can beat him again. We'll
- 10:40Speaker 2: get Biden in there one more time and we'll see
- 10:44Speaker 2: how things go. That's all they wanted to do. They
- 10:46Speaker 2: wanted to get him out of the race, Trump out
- 10:50Speaker 2: of the race by making him a felon. We've already
- 10:52Speaker 2: covered that this week. So they hid the fact that
- 10:56Speaker 2: Biden wasn't doing anything because honestly, they didn't want a
- 10:58Speaker 2: president that would do anything. That's part of the reason
- 11:01Speaker 2: they don't like Trump, reality check. That's part of the
- 11:05Speaker 2: reason they don't like Trump because he's in charge when
- 11:07Speaker 2: he's in the White House. And they knew once Biden
- 11:12Speaker 2: was exposed on TV during a debate, and people said,
- 11:16Speaker 2: wait a minute, he doesn't even know where he is,
- 11:19Speaker 2: he doesn't know who he is, he doesn't know what's
- 11:21Speaker 2: going on. And I've said this before and I'll continue
- 11:25Speaker 2: to say it. I don't think that the competency thing
- 11:28Speaker 2: is a joke. I don't think it's funny. I have
- 11:32Speaker 2: seen too many people in my family in the past
- 11:36Speaker 2: with dementia and cognition issues and Alzheimer's. It's not funny.
- 11:42Speaker 2: There's nothing funny about the situation. What's comical in a
- 11:48Speaker 2: non funny way, if you understand what I mean is
- 11:50Speaker 2: that they tried to pass Joe Biden off as someone
- 11:54Speaker 2: who was still fit to be president the moment he
- 11:57Speaker 2: was exposed. That's when they became exposed and they realized,
- 12:03Speaker 2: oh no, what are we going to do about this?
- 12:06Speaker 2: And ultimately, you know what they did. They pushed him out.
- 12:11Speaker 2: It was his decision to get out, and they made
- 12:13Speaker 2: that decision for him. They used celebrities, and they used
- 12:16Speaker 2: Barack Obama, and they used all these people to push
- 12:19Speaker 2: him out the door because they thought, look, we have
- 12:23Speaker 2: a vice president who people are going to vote for
- 12:26Speaker 2: because she's a black woman. It'll be easy. We know
- 12:29Speaker 2: we'll get the black vote, we know we'll get a
- 12:33Speaker 2: lot of the women vote, and this will be a
- 12:35Speaker 2: slam doc. This is easy and bonus, she's not really
- 12:41Speaker 2: capable of running the country either for different reasons, so
- 12:44Speaker 2: we're going to be able to do whatever we want
- 12:46Speaker 2: to do and she'll just rubber stamp everything, or we'll
- 12:49Speaker 2: sign her name with a virtual signature and we'll continue
- 12:51Speaker 2: on as is. That's what the plan was. So we've
- 12:57Speaker 2: seen a president of the United States. We know what
- 13:00Speaker 2: it looks like when you say, hey, here's a president
- 13:04Speaker 2: who's not able to be competent to do the job.
- 13:08Speaker 2: We know what that looks like. We've witnessed it. We
- 13:12Speaker 2: watched it play out for four years. We actually watched
- 13:16Speaker 2: it play out as he was running for president, and
- 13:19Speaker 2: we realized he can't do this. He's not going to
- 13:23Speaker 2: be able to do this. We know what it looks like.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Doesn't look like Donald Trump. They tried to play this
- 13:30Speaker 2: card already. Once they tried to play this card the
- 13:33Speaker 2: first time he was in office, Nancy Pelosi started talking
- 13:37Speaker 2: about the twenty fifth Amendment. We're going to have to
- 13:39Speaker 2: get rid of him. He drinks too many diet cokes.
- 13:43Speaker 2: He can't possibly be competent to do the job if
- 13:46Speaker 2: he drinks the number of diet coke that he does,
- 13:49Speaker 2: if he eats as much McDonald's as he does and
- 13:52Speaker 2: as he likes, who could possibly be competent and do
- 13:56Speaker 2: those things And it made no traction, Then it's not
- 14:02Speaker 2: going to make traction. Now they're going to try to
- 14:04Speaker 2: make it make traction. But they think that we're stupid.
- 14:08Speaker 2: This is a great example of how dumb they think
- 14:11Speaker 2: that we are. They thought we were dumb enough to
- 14:14Speaker 2: believe them when they said he was running circles around
- 14:16Speaker 2: everybody in the White House talking about Biden. They thought
- 14:20Speaker 2: we were dumb enough to believe. They thought we were
- 14:22Speaker 2: dumb enough to believe that he was actually running the country,
- 14:26Speaker 2: that he wasn't napping all day and watching Matt Locke.
- 14:28Speaker 2: They thought we were dumb enough to believe that, and
- 14:32Speaker 2: we weren't. We were not falling for it. That's not
- 14:36Speaker 2: something that we were going to do. Some of us
- 14:39Speaker 2: did not. You and me, we knew better. We knew better.
- 14:44Speaker 2: It was clear, and you don't have to really be
- 14:47Speaker 2: an insider. You could just tell. You could tell by
- 14:51Speaker 2: the lack of press conferences. You could tell by the
- 14:53Speaker 2: lack of access for media. You could tell he wasn't
- 14:57Speaker 2: all there. He wasn't able to do the job and
- 15:01Speaker 2: do the job well. Versus Donald Trump, who I mean,
- 15:07Speaker 2: he just did an interview with ABC, somebody that he
- 15:11Speaker 2: doesn't like, somebody didn't want to do an interview with,
- 15:13Speaker 2: but he gave him access. He kind of choke slamed
- 15:16Speaker 2: him while he was doing it. But in reality, he's
- 15:19Speaker 2: available and accessible, and he's awake and he's not asleep
- 15:25Speaker 2: at the wheel, and he is running things. And just
- 15:27Speaker 2: because they don't like what he's doing, they're trying to
- 15:31Speaker 2: challenge and say, well, he's doing these things that we
- 15:33Speaker 2: don't like, so he must not be confident to do
- 15:36Speaker 2: the job. So what are they saying about us? The
- 15:40Speaker 2: people that voted for him, the people who supported him,
- 15:45Speaker 2: the record number of like the record flop flip flop
- 15:50Speaker 2: of voters that transitioned his way from Black America and
- 15:55Speaker 2: Hispanic America, what does it say about them? They don't
- 15:59Speaker 2: think they're competent, They don't think they're capable because they
- 16:02Speaker 2: didn't do what the Democrats wanted them to do. They
- 16:06Speaker 2: didn't do what everybody just assumed they were going to do.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Wait a minute. You're Black and you voted for Trump.
- 16:10Speaker 2: You're supposed to do that. You can't be competent to
- 16:14Speaker 2: do anything. You're Hispanic and you voted for Trump, you
- 16:17Speaker 2: can't be competent to do anything. You're a woman who
- 16:20Speaker 2: voted for Trump instead of Kamala Harris, you can't be
- 16:23Speaker 2: competent to do anything. You voted for Trump period, because
- 16:28Speaker 2: they don't like what he's doing, then he must be
- 16:34Speaker 2: not capable of doing the job. He must not have
- 16:37Speaker 2: the proper cognition to do the job. So I think
- 16:43Speaker 2: if they didn't like the way that you voted, then
- 16:46Speaker 2: that means they could say the same thing about you. Right.

- 19:48Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 19:50Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 19:53Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 19:56Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 19:58Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 20:02Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 20:05Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,

- 20:11Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after
- 20:15Speaker 2: the break, we talked a little bit yesterday about the
- 20:26Speaker 2: fact that graduation season is coming up. With graduation season
- 20:31Speaker 2: rolling along very soon, we're knocking on the door of
- 20:35Speaker 2: it for a lot of schools. Wallet hub did a
- 20:37Speaker 2: nationwide survey that explored a number of topics, including the
- 20:40Speaker 2: impact of peer pressure on their spending habits, and they'll
- 20:45Speaker 2: how well their schools taught them about personal finance. So
- 20:49Speaker 2: as far as a little insight into college students' perspectives
- 20:53Speaker 2: on money. Some of the findings eighty one percent think
- 20:57Speaker 2: college tuition is out of control, twenty five percent think
- 21:00Speaker 2: their tuition wasn't a good investment. Sixty seven percent said
- 21:05Speaker 2: that their school does not do enough to teach them
- 21:07Speaker 2: about personal finance. Forty seven percent feel pressured by their
- 21:11Speaker 2: peers to spend more than they can afford. The biggest
- 21:16Speaker 2: post grad fears are not finding a job, student loan debt,
- 21:20Speaker 2: credit card debt, and some fearing even that they'll have
- 21:23Speaker 2: to live with their parents. Fifty three percent said their
- 21:27Speaker 2: generation is not good with money, seventy five percent said
- 21:30Speaker 2: they won't repeat the same money mistakes their parents made,
- 21:34Speaker 2: and eighty one percent said they would give up social
- 21:36Speaker 2: media just to get a job. How about this, there's
- 21:43Speaker 2: an influencer named Alex Earl. Maybe this is one of
- 21:46Speaker 2: the jobs that they would like to have coming out
- 21:49Speaker 2: of college. This sounds like a good job anyway. This
- 21:53Speaker 2: is an influencer named Alex Earl, and she has apparently
- 21:58Speaker 2: reported that every time she has a sponsored Instagram story
- 22:03Speaker 2: that she posts, reportedly, she makes four hundred and fifty
- 22:07Speaker 2: thousand dollars each time. That's according to an agent who
- 22:11Speaker 2: used to work with her. Article forty one co founder
- 22:14Speaker 2: Vicky Seeger told that to a group of University of
- 22:18Speaker 2: North Carolina athletes recently when talking to them about their nil.
- 22:23Speaker 2: That name image likeness deal you hear about when it
- 22:27Speaker 2: comes to college sports, and apparently that's just for stories,
- 22:32Speaker 2: not even permanent posts. Earl has seven million followers on
- 22:35Speaker 2: TikTok four million on Instagram, and when she recommends a
- 22:39Speaker 2: product it often sells out almost instantly. Pretty good. Right
- 22:46Speaker 2: when she started her influencer career, apparently she was on
- 22:50Speaker 2: social media complaining about acne and a TikTok post while
- 22:55Speaker 2: she was still a college student. I don't think people
- 22:58Speaker 2: should look at this as a realistic expectation. I mean,
- 23:02Speaker 2: it may happen for you. It could happen, obviously for
- 23:05Speaker 2: somebody in alex I guess I'm seeing her name right,
- 23:09Speaker 2: Alex Earl. Target is taking wine to a new level
- 23:13Speaker 2: with a launch of a new sustainable wine collection called
- 23:16Speaker 2: Collective Good. The latest innovation in wine comes in a
- 23:21Speaker 2: paper bottle made from ninety four percent recycled materials, featuring
- 23:26Speaker 2: four varieties of wine from Italy, Spain, Chile, and California,
- 23:31Speaker 2: and all priced to just nine to ninety nine each.
- 23:33Speaker 2: But the best part is you can enjoy that wine
- 23:36Speaker 2: knowing you're contributing to saving the planet. That's what Collective
- 23:41Speaker 2: Good is all about. Their wines are widely available in
- 23:46Speaker 2: stores nationwide. I mean not just about enjoying the wine,
- 23:52Speaker 2: it's about saving the planet. Renting PlayStation five consoles has
- 23:57Speaker 2: become a hot trend in Japan. A rental company chain
- 24:01Speaker 2: over there called Geo is still thriving, with consumers renting CD, DVD,
- 24:09Speaker 2: Blu Ray players or actually know the actual unit CDs,
- 24:13Speaker 2: DVDs and Blu Rays themselves from a thousand stores across
- 24:17Speaker 2: the country. Earlier this year, they put PS five consoles
- 24:22Speaker 2: into the mix, and customers can't seem to get enough,
- 24:25Speaker 2: especially since Geo is only charging a dollar a day
- 24:30Speaker 2: to rent them. I don't know what they cost in Japan.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I don't know what the conversion is, but you know,
- 24:36Speaker 2: I guess they're still in the four or five hundred
- 24:38Speaker 2: dollars range here, so, you know, a dollar a day,
- 24:45Speaker 2: it would seem that it would take a little while
- 24:47Speaker 2: to pay those suckers off. I don't know what they
- 24:51Speaker 2: cost in Japan, though, I don't have a clue. I'm
- 24:53Speaker 2: just thinking that out. And then finally, this summer, China
- 24:58Speaker 2: set to unveil the the wageon Grand Canyon Bridge, the
- 25:04Speaker 2: world's tallest bridge, towering twenty fifty one feet above the
- 25:10Speaker 2: river below. Until now, it has taken nearly two hours
- 25:14Speaker 2: to travel across the canyon. Once they open up the bridge, though,
- 25:18Speaker 2: it'll take just a minute. It's a they're calling it
- 25:22Speaker 2: an engineering marvel that tourists are expected to. I guess
- 25:28Speaker 2: marvel when this in mind. A section of the bridge
- 25:31Speaker 2: will feature a fifteen hundred foot long, enclosed pedestrian walkway,
- 25:35Speaker 2: complete with a restaurant and a bungee jumping area. So
- 25:40Speaker 2: there you go. Now, I'll do it for this Thursday
- 25:43Speaker 2: edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
