• 13:26
  Speaker 18: fun business and there's nothing.
• 13:32
  Speaker 11: But you can't do.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: That's me by the way, Oh turn the radio around.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I can't see you through here.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Change.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. That's what we try to do, change
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: your life, one day at a time. And you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I understand because ever since the passage of the Great
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Rush Limbaugh, most of us should be held in content
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: eempt of It wouldn't be Congress, would it, Although some
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: of us are pretty contemptible when we engage in Congress.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: But that being said, most of us should be judged
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: harshly because there's a rubicon in what we do in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: consumable media, and it's an aberration. It's an offense to you,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: and it really it's mostly an embarrassment to all of
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: us who try to serve you. And this is the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: key thing here is we're trying to serve you. We're
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: supposed to be anyway, and we forget and so much
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: of America twenty twenty six and what our kids misunderstandify
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: as a capitalist system, misunderstand who our customers are. We're
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: gonna put it into a different paradigm here. We're gonna
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: take it away from the media for a moment and
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: make it a delicatessen. Huh, okay, sandwich shop. Okay, Joe.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows where the delicatessant is anymore. I disagree, but
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I'll take your consult on this. It's not worth the fight.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: So a sandwich shop gets provisions from Boar's Head or Smithfield.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: You pick the meat maker of your choice, but they
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: get their meat, and for a discount on their meat
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: they get they hang a big boar's head sign. So
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: they hang the boar's head neon signed in their windows
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: saying we use boar's head meat. Who is the customer?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Is their customer Bore's head? Or is the customer you
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: who show up and say I'd like a ham and Swiss.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: And the problem, as we draw it back to American media,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: is we think the client. We think the customer is
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: boar's Head. Our job is to sell more sandwiches to
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: please our customer Boar's Head because they give us a
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: break and then you know whatever. But that's that's the mischaracterization,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: misunderstanding of the role of communications in general. Yeah, sure
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: there are commercial messages, some of them are good. Still,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: puzzled by why explaining that your insurance coverage will be
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: better than someone else's isn't enough and we have to
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: be goofy with every insurance ad. But at least you
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: know it's an ad, not a newscast pretending to be
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: an ad. Because our newsrooms have become public relations firms,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and I think some of it started because PR firms
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: paid a lot better than newsrooms did, so young up
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: incoming anchors were always looking for that cushy gig as
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: PR for the local Department of Transportation or the Environmental
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Protection organization or green Peace or Red State or you
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: name it. Somebody was hiring some spokesperson and that was
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: a better gig than getting up at zero o'clock in
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the morning and trying to find out how many firefighters
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: were needed to get the cat out of the tree.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I explain this having been in here. I feel a
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: little bit like a whistleblower when we talk about this stuff,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: and I'm just setting up the story we told you
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: at the onset of our first things. How many times,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: if you're an habitual user of this program, have you
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: heard me add to the classic expression, there's lies, damn lies,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and statistics there's a fourth category polling data, because people
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: don't just sit around Quinnipiac University or the Larry Sabadeau
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Institute for Getting Larry Sabado mentioned on CNN at the
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: University of Virginia, they sit around gazing into their navel thinking,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: you know what, you know what, Larry, we haven't done
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: a poll in a while. Larry is Larry asleep? Put
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: a mirror under his nose. I'm sorry, is that that
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: across the line there? Well, Larry is getting a little
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: long in the tooth. His crystal balls have cataracts now.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: But this polling firm, the Public Sentiment Institute, published a
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: poll and I'm sure some of our Florida affiliates may
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: have reported on it in their local news as a
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: ramp up to this week's primaries for governor, whether it
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: be WROD there in Daytona, or TTB along the Treasure
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Coast or WWPR in Sarasota, some of the ones that
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: have WBGS and Saint Pete. I'm sure some of you
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: had the story of the Public Sentiment Institute polls that
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: showed a closer race than otherwise, as James Fishback shows
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: really strong numbers heading into the primary against Byron Donald's
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: problem was a couple of things that TPSI didn't do.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Number one, it didn't disc the fact that the Fishback
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: campaign had commissioned the pole. That's damn lies, right, So
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: there's lies, damn lies, and that's where that one comes in. Statistics,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: which were the numbers that said Fishback was doing better
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: than he wound up doing in the primary. Do we
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: have the actual results? Give me the actual GOP Florida results.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: But Fishback, having paid for the pole, actually had polster
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: respondents answers changed so that he climbed and had higher
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: numbers than he should have had. So not only did
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: they probably wait the questions, because one of the things
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: that drives polling data into that list of lies, damn lies,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: statistics and polling data is that every pole begins with
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: fantasy pollsters supposedly basing their opinion on some historical data
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: or expertise gained over years. We'll just guess which party
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: is going to turn out more. Fishback got to ten percent, okay,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: and then they oversample that group that they just believe
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: they gas is going to be more enthusiastic than the others.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: But then on top of that this Fishback pole by
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: TPSI actually changed answers of some of the respondents so
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Fishback's polling numbers would look better. This is why you
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: don't believe this stuff.

  Speaker 7: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that

  Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be

  Speaker 9: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to

• 24:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 3: You're the customer. I'm the purveyor and all the rest

  Speaker 3: visit them. I'm not you know, you don't talk like that.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not professional. Edward R. Murrow would never
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 24: Now.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Edward R. Murrow would say, boy, there's lucky strikes are
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: really great. And that's the problem is the boundary, if
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: you will, between news and pr intentionally, I believe has
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: been blurred because if you don't trust the people who
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: are telling you what went on last night. I say
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: this as somebody who is out here trying to be
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: honest about it. The authoritarians win. You've heard presidents of
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: various ilk wistfully think about licensing journalists. Your rights to
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: privately protect your sources are only protected if the government
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: has approved of your efforts. Really sound like anything you
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: recall reading in the Bill of Rights, and I'll be
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: to be bipartisan in it. My friends in the media
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: who seem to think the First Amendment was specifically written
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: for them are dumb as a bag of hair, or
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: disingenuous like the classic snake oil salesman. The freedom of
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: the press speaks to the freedom to publish, which is
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: what we're doing here. We are publishing a radio program.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe you're publishing a substack page, maybe you're publishing a
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: YouTube channel. But you're publishing something. You have a First
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Amendment protected right to publish it. You have a responsibility
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: to not defame or otherwise malign somebody inappropriately. See the
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: New York Times. I don't even know if the New
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: York Times did it maliciously or slopilly, New York Times
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: has got to cough up nine point two five million
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: dollars that they don't have according to their Office of
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Budget to a former Alabama basketball player, Kai Spears. Eight
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: person jury determined that Spears was owed nine point twenty
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: five million dollars and damages because The New York Times
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: reported inaccurately that he was involved in a shooting in Tuscaloosa.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I guess it was the shooting around Alabama University. And
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: the problem, of course for the New York Times is
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: he wasn't and this isn't even one of these New
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: York Times says Donald Trump did something with some socialite
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: in the bathroom of a subway restaurant or something. I mean,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: that's egregious in and of itself. This is straight up
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: wrong and defamatory. I guess the case was made that
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: the kid lost, you know, eligibility, because by being associated
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: with this, his draft position was damaged. And congratulations to
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: him for doing it. But this again speaks to the
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: process being the punishment. Will publish the indictment because that
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: will harm you when you're exonerated. Maybe we'll put it
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: on page twenty three, next to the crossword puzzle or
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: below the windows screen. There's the magic place that used
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: to be above the fold. Now if you appear on
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: the you know there's a word for it, and I
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: forget what it is in computer website management lingo. But
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: if you appear within the home screen of the average
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: resolution of a website, that's the modern version of above
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: the fold. But they'll never they'll never put the fact
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: that you're exonerated. Look at how little is being covered
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: of Donald Trump sitting down with Michael Cohen. I told
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you about this yesterday that seven years ago, when Michael
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Cohen was a thing. I warned you, I said, you're
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: being played, or the Democrats are being played. I don't
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: know why. I particularly was concerned with them being duped,
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: but they were all rushed, Oh, Michael Cohen's gonna tell
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: us everything. And Michael Cohen told them just slightly less
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: than Bupkiss turned out to be a big nothing burger.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: So they sent him to prison instead. And I pointed
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: out to people all along love him like this, Michael
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Cohen was Donald Trump's fixer. And how did people I mean,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know about fixers. I don't. I don't employ
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: any fixers. I mean, there are people out there try
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: to catch me before I fall, thank you, you know,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Eddie and that kind of stuff. A kareem out there.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Hey Joe, by the way, did you know Joel pointing
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: out you know the difference between a virus and a
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: bacteria parasite. But those aren't fixers. Those aren't people who
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: go into my podcast and erase the audio of me malapropping,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: because most people don't understand. Growing up watching Norm Crosby,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I understand how to use a good malaprop But the
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Michael Cohen thing was it's such a classic example of
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: being duped because you were so interested in serving a
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: customer that wasn't actually your customer. You wanted to tell
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: a story that wasn't there. You wanted to write news,
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: and when news didn't work, you decided to write fiction
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: and not a flaw but a feature. The authoritarians love
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: this because the less you trust trust people like me,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: because the more we get excited about fixers like Michael
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Cohen telling us I've got the dirt on Donald Trump
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: ha ha, go on and then finding out you know, oops,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: you trusted us, and now Donald Trump's doing Michael Cohen's
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: radio program. I want to listen to that so badly.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: I wanted to say, hey.
• 36:50
  Speaker 21: Mike, nice job, good job there.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: You're gonna do a movie about you?
• 36:54
  Speaker 20: Or what?
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Here's your bonus? Did nobody ever watch Mike whether or
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: not you know anything about fixers? Did you ever watch
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Michael Collins? Enough people saw that George Clooney epic about
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: a fixer. You understand a fixer is going to do
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: whatever a fixer's got to do. Nobody saw pulp fiction
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: mister Wolf. Oh, my brother, you didn't tell me you
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: called the wolf. So you just be cool and do
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: what he tells you. You don't understand what fixers are.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: We're gonna get the flock out. We were talking about

  Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in the first thing today by
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: So's it's not constitutional conservatism, it's snugly conservatism. Oh stop,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: don't turn the radio on. That so paranoid. I'm not
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: watching you. Not like a flock camera. We caught up
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: with Mike Fox yesterday, uh from the Cato Institute. We
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: were talking about these and flock cameras are just a
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: brand name. You'll tell us about it. It's a you know.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: But they have become the you know, the the data
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: centers of policing. And I warned my my friends that
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: they're getting dragged into an argument that is being driven
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: by the defund the police people. But he hit on
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: a point that my friends at WTAR down in Norfolk
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: would appreciate. So I want to get this and we'll
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: get to you at four three, four eight eight, two
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: four to two one seven.
• 45:27
  Speaker 20: We don't actually know how many Flock cameras exist. And
• 45:31
  Speaker 20: Flock is just a company. It's like, you know, calling
• 45:34
  Speaker 20: a soda that people drink coke as opposed to soda. Right,
• 45:38
  Speaker 20: So Flock is a form of automated license plate reader
• 45:41
  Speaker 20: which is known as ALPRs, and they're extremely sophisticated. So,
• 45:45
  Speaker 20: as I just said, we don't know how many actually exist.
• 45:48
  Speaker 20: According to Flock, there's at least one hundred and twenty thousand.
• 45:51
  Speaker 20: I think there's probably more. And then as I mentioned,
• 45:53
  Speaker 20: there's other companies that run these aps on who makes
• 45:56
  Speaker 20: body cameras for police officers, and they're in at least
• 46:00
  Speaker 20: least five thousand law enforcement agencies across six thousand communities.
• 46:04
  Speaker 20: And it's also important to note that they don't just
• 46:07
  Speaker 20: exist within law enforcement, like there will be private companies
• 46:10
  Speaker 20: and home owners associations and businesses that might have these
• 46:14
  Speaker 20: law cameras. And we don't know does the data they
• 46:18
  Speaker 20: collect and with them they raise it thirty days later,
• 46:20
  Speaker 20: niney days later, one hundred days later, or does it
• 46:22
  Speaker 20: go into some system that just stays in perpetuity and
• 46:26
  Speaker 20: allows us to track people in real time because there
• 46:29
  Speaker 20: is no real law in many jurisdictions, if not most
• 46:32
  Speaker 20: jurisdictions saying what canon can't be done with that data?
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: And that's always been one of the starting points for
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: me is you know, I'm not a luddite. I know
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: that cameras exist, and so acting like we can somehow
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: get rid of cameras doesn't seem serious either. So how
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: do you create a law a legal system that address
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: is I don't know, admissibility, that kind of thing. Is
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: Is that a starting point to start to talk about, Well,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: we know cameras will exist, what is the protection of
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: somebody's civil liberties in a courtroom, you know, against these
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: frozen moments in time without context.
• 47:22
  Speaker 20: Yeah, that's a good question, and it's not currently clear.
• 47:25
  Speaker 20: There were the case that was decided a few months ago,
• 47:28
  Speaker 20: maybe back in June called Chatre and that the court
• 47:33
  Speaker 20: hinted at like geolocation data or said that gelocation data
• 47:36
  Speaker 20: has some type of you know, privacy concern is important.
• 47:39
  Speaker 20: So I think we'll see that coming forward with new
• 47:42
  Speaker 20: types of protections. But since you're in Virginia, I'll mention
• 47:45
  Speaker 20: our friends at the Institute for Justice have been litigating
• 47:48
  Speaker 20: the case challenging the use of block cameras in Norfolk,
• 47:51
  Speaker 20: and as far as I know, the case is pending
• 47:54
  Speaker 20: before the Fourth Circuit, which is the federal appellate court
• 47:56
  Speaker 20: that sits in Richmond and is jurisdiction over Virginia. I
• 48:00
  Speaker 20: believe the federal judge in that case ruled that the
• 48:04
  Speaker 20: use of these cameras across the city doesn't violate the
• 48:06
  Speaker 20: Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures because the
• 48:10
  Speaker 20: cameras are taking discrete pictures at different locations. You know,
• 48:15
  Speaker 20: the problem with that ruling is that it's not really right.
• 48:19
  Speaker 20: I mean, sure, if one camera takes a picture of you, Okay,
• 48:22
  Speaker 20: I don't like it, but I could see it. But
• 48:25
  Speaker 20: when they're thousand of them, and I don't remember how
• 48:27
  Speaker 20: many are in Norfolk, but there's a lot, and they
• 48:30
  Speaker 20: can crack everywhere you go. They're all linked together. It's
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: this one big I don't want to call it happy,
• 48:35
  Speaker 20: but one big system of every you know, everywhere you go.
• 48:39
  Speaker 20: It's all linked. And I can give you some examples
• 48:43
  Speaker 20: of how this has played out. As far as we know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 20: there's at least sixty nine instances where law enforcement has
• 48:50
  Speaker 20: abused these. Of course, departments don't authorize this type of behavior,
• 48:53
  Speaker 20: but it happens. As my colleague Matt Cavedon said, there's
• 48:57
  Speaker 20: really two main issues here. There's the imperfect system and
• 49:00
  Speaker 20: which we can get to, and there's imperfect people. So
• 49:03
  Speaker 20: we know that there's been at least sixty nine cases
• 49:06
  Speaker 20: across the country where officers have been accuted, you know, indicted,
• 49:10
  Speaker 20: in charge, conmicted, and this is just the ones we
• 49:12
  Speaker 20: know of that are documented. I'm sure there's more of abuse,
• 49:16
  Speaker 20: and at least fifteen of those cases came to light
• 49:19
  Speaker 20: not because of internal audit procedures departments have, so in
• 49:23
  Speaker 20: many cases departments may not have formal audit procedures. But
• 49:27
  Speaker 20: I would also say that when departments do, the idea
• 49:31
  Speaker 20: that departments are always going to be disciplining their officers
• 49:35
  Speaker 20: is just simply not true.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: And again this goes back to something I said, and
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: you can hear the extent of that Virginia Institute for
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: Public Policy of Mike Fox is going to be our
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: guest on Freedom and Prosperity Radio. You can find it
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: around the Commonwealth. But also we may get into that
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: in our Daily Signal Virginia column as well, because these
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: flock cameras and again you're, you're they're becoming the villain
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: for villainous people there being the fall guy, just like
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: data centers. Your electric bill is going up because of
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: Democrat and progressive policies on energy, not because data centers exist,
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: but but they found a Baptist in bootleggers coalition because
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: conservatives want privacy and progressives want you know, nobody burning
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: anything anywhere. Ever, So well, they're vegan mostly so you
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: know who cooks spinach anyway? I'm hey, who in this
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: conversation is a vegan? You were me? Yeah, that's right,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: me while vegetarian. I like my eggs, I like my cheese.
• 50:43
  Speaker 24: What.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm exploiting the chickens and the dairy cows. Yes,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: I'm exploiting them because I'm a capitalist pig. Stop it
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: yelling in my ear and me get Joel on the
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: line here at four three four eight A two four
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: two one seven exploiting chickens. My god, so the things
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I've been accused of, Joel, what are you doing this morning?
• 51:04
  Speaker 13: Hey, good morning. Just as long as nobody's choking a chicken.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: So okay, so you went there. I thought I was
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: going to be the one that had to control my
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: inner twelve year old. Okay, Oh, you.
• 51:16
  Speaker 13: Know they always tell you to be it, always to
• 51:19
  Speaker 13: tell you to you know, don't don't grow up. Still
• 51:22
  Speaker 13: still keep your uh your childhood in some way.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: But that's good. That's a good point of being young.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, I.
• 51:28
  Speaker 13: Wanted to say this, and now you're gonna jump on
• 51:30
  Speaker 13: it right away. Just let meet, let me get We
• 51:32
  Speaker 13: do have.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: The news coming up in a couple of minutes.
• 51:34
  Speaker 13: So I'll make I'll make it quick. So the other
• 51:38
  Speaker 13: day I was looking at something on Facebook. There's people
• 51:40
  Speaker 13: on there and talk about products and talk about sales,
• 51:42
  Speaker 13: and I thought, oh, I'm buying really good Nannies. It's
• 51:46
  Speaker 13: made with a hundred percent avocado world right, So you know,
• 51:51
  Speaker 13: it seems like people are looking for purity, right, don't
• 51:55
  Speaker 13: have the dirt, don't have the infiltrates in there, don't
• 51:57
  Speaker 13: have all the crap in there. Well, you know, you
• 52:02
  Speaker 13: also have to look at concentration, right, what percentage of
• 52:05
  Speaker 13: that is actually in the stuff that we get. And
• 52:09
  Speaker 13: we can go to we can go to politics, we
• 52:11
  Speaker 13: can go to a lot of things, and I think
• 52:14
  Speaker 13: I think a lot of the things today we're looking
• 52:16
  Speaker 13: for that purity. We're looking without the dirt, without the scum,
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: without the stuff, and then the concentration, what percentage it
• 52:24
  Speaker 13: is actually there And and so it's a little bit
• 52:28
  Speaker 13: disappointing because people are being sold by product marketing, just
• 52:32
  Speaker 13: like they are with politics.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: Oh so.
• 52:36
  Speaker 13: So one of one of my favorite people I wish
• 52:39
  Speaker 13: we were back in Florida is Byron Donald's. He's talked
