Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Before I get into the intel thing. This just popped
- 0:02Speaker 1: up here at the bottom of the hour as I'm
- 0:03Speaker 1: scrolling through all the news stories. Is evil is all over.
- 0:07Speaker 1: It's all over, evil people doing evil things. And you know,
- 0:10Speaker 1: the people who are in charge the government, the officials,
- 0:13Speaker 1: the elected folks, they keep thinking, Okay, well we'll just
- 0:16Speaker 1: pass laws.
- 0:17Speaker 2: No, see, you don't understand. The bad people don't care
- 0:20Speaker 2: about your laws. They don't.
- 0:22Speaker 1: You can ban, ban silencers and bump stocks and thirty
- 0:26Speaker 1: round magazines. You can ban assault weapons, you can ban
- 0:30Speaker 1: ghost guns. Ban, you can ban, you can ban, you
- 0:33Speaker 1: can be by the way, there was a stabbing in
- 0:36Speaker 1: Columbus over the weekend. You can ban anything you want.
- 0:40Speaker 1: But the people who were committing these crimes, they don't
- 0:43Speaker 1: care about your bands. They don't care about your laws.
- 0:44Speaker 1: They're crazy, doing crazy, evil, violent things to society. That
- 0:48Speaker 1: being said for ABC News just about half an hour ago,
- 0:52Speaker 1: it was posted I'm sorry forty nine minutes ago. Headline
- 0:55Speaker 1: tells us one dead, six injured after gunman opens fire
- 0:59Speaker 1: on sidewalk. They call it sickening, an unacceptable gum and
- 1:03Speaker 1: open fire with a high velocity rifle at a group
- 1:06Speaker 1: standing on a sidewalk in Minneapolis on Tuesday, killing one
- 1:09Speaker 1: person injuring six others. At least one of the seven
- 1:11Speaker 1: victims appears to have been the target of the shooting,
- 1:14Speaker 1: according to police Chief Brian O'Hara, who called the incident
- 1:17Speaker 1: deeply troubling.
- 1:18Speaker 2: The level of.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Firepower unleashed in broad daylight is completely sickening and unacceptable.
- 1:23Speaker 1: You laugh, you laugh, you laugh because it's a stupid statement.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Who cares about the level of firepower. If it was
- 1:32Speaker 1: a pump shotgun holding five twelve gage shotgun shells, he
- 1:38Speaker 1: could have still hit six people on a sidewalk in
- 1:43Speaker 1: many A. But you gotta make it sound scary, don't
- 1:45Speaker 1: you cheat. This level of firepower unleashed in broad daylight
- 1:49Speaker 1: is completely sickening and unacceptable. The gunman fled in a
- 1:53Speaker 1: vehicle and remains at large. That she said, authorities are
- 1:55Speaker 1: working to identify the suspect. Victims had been standing in
- 1:59Speaker 1: a group on a sidewalk across the street from a
- 2:00Speaker 1: Catholic high school. Minneapolis police responded to the scene after
- 2:04Speaker 1: receiving a notification from the Gunshot Detectives Detection System shot
- 2:08Speaker 1: Spotter about one thirty pm, approximately thirty rounds of gunfire
- 2:14Speaker 1: had been fired. We got to work the thirty rounds
- 2:16Speaker 1: in because we gotta say AR fifteen without saying AR fifteen.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Zach, you understand how it works.
- 2:22Speaker 3: I was hiding under the desk, couldn't hear you sat
- 2:24Speaker 3: AR fifteen.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 2:25Speaker 1: It's because you gotta work in thirty rounds, because you
- 2:28Speaker 1: need to infer something without being accused of blatantly saying it.
- 2:32Speaker 1: That's what the left calls the dog whistle. That's a
- 2:35Speaker 1: dog whistle right there. Approximately thirty rounds of gunfire had
- 2:39Speaker 1: been fired, o'harris said. Responding officers found one man dead
- 2:42Speaker 1: at the scene six other shooting victims in the area,
- 2:45Speaker 1: including local businesses. He said, based on the shot spotded
- 2:49Speaker 1: notification the significant damage to the shooting victims, police believe
- 2:53Speaker 1: a high velocity rifle was used in the shooting. Again,
- 2:56Speaker 1: we got to say AR fifteen without Zach. Take notes, man,
- 3:00Speaker 1: because you'll need. The damage that was done to the
- 3:03Speaker 1: bodies of some of these victims is unspeakable.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Again, who was it Biden? Was it Biden?
- 3:10Speaker 3: Oh?
- 3:10Speaker 2: Yeah, air fifteen?
- 3:12Speaker 1: Bo Hold you this big hey, so big car can
- 3:17Speaker 1: drive through it?
- 3:17Speaker 2: A big hole? Shut up?
- 3:21Speaker 1: Thankfully, we don't have more people that are dead from
- 3:23Speaker 1: this incident, O'Hara continued. The six people who were injured
- 3:26Speaker 1: in the shooting expected to survive. All the victims believe
- 3:29Speaker 1: to be adults. Police believe there's only one shooter and
- 3:33Speaker 1: that at least one person standing in the group was
- 3:35Speaker 1: clearly targeted.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Evil people doing evil things.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Any discussion, any disagreement, Am I completely correct as usual?
- 3:49Speaker 2: You're are you sleeping?
- 3:50Speaker 1: Sorry?
- 3:51Speaker 3: I wasn't paying attention. No, no, no, you're right. It's
- 3:53Speaker 3: it's just if.
- 3:54Speaker 2: You're gonna not pay attention, you better be cleaning my guns.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Okay, come on, I'm just saying aired of them.
- 4:02Speaker 2: It's water. It can't really hurt you when it fires.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Oh boy, Okay, well that pump one can go.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Okay, it carries a lot of water.
- 4:10Speaker 3: I bet it does.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Minneapolis, Minnesota. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
- 4:14Speaker 1: All right, Intel, this ten percent steak, I don't know.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I understand what the President the administration are trying to
- 4:27Speaker 1: accomplish her US government taking a ten percent stake in Intel,
- 4:31Speaker 1: a deal that caps a two week frenzy over the
- 4:34Speaker 1: troubled chip maker and marks the latest in a series
- 4:37Speaker 1: of extraordinary private sector interventions by President Trump. Under the
- 4:40Speaker 1: terms of the agreement, eight point nine billion dollars in
- 4:42Speaker 1: grants that had been awarded to Intel from the twenty
- 4:45Speaker 1: twenty two Chips Act but not paid yet, will be
- 4:49Speaker 1: converted to equity. The two sides said on Friday, Okay,
- 4:52Speaker 1: so what's that mean, Chuck, tell me what it means.
- 4:56Speaker 2: What it means.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Is that we mused them through that chipsack back in
- 5:01Speaker 1: twenty two eight point nine billion dollars. They have not
- 5:06Speaker 1: received that money. It's free money, it's grant money. They
- 5:14Speaker 1: haven't received that money. So instead of giving them the
- 5:18Speaker 1: eight point nine billion dollars in grants, we are going
- 5:23Speaker 1: to take ten percent of the I don't get it.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I don't get it. The government could get more stock
- 5:34Speaker 1: depending upon what happens in Intel's chip manufacturing business.
- 5:39Speaker 2: The deals are remarkable turnaround.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Just over two weeks ago, Donald Trump called for the CEO,
- 5:43Speaker 1: Lipboo Tan to be fired for his.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Ties to China. I remember that very well.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Then, after meeting with Tan and talking about the business,
- 5:52Speaker 1: Trump became a fan and saw an opportunity to deepen
- 5:56Speaker 1: their partnership.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Again.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I don't get it, don't understand it fire him, Oh,
- 6:00Speaker 1: I like him very much.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Which is it?
- 6:04Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to say the President should
- 6:06Speaker 1: not have changed his mind after meeting with the guy.
- 6:07Speaker 1: But I think we, as the American people who now
- 6:09Speaker 1: owned a ten percent stake in his company, I think
- 6:11Speaker 1: we should know what was it about that conversation, about
- 6:13Speaker 1: that meeting, What did you find out, what did you discover?
- 6:15Speaker 2: What were you.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Told that changed so drastically your opinion about this guy.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Trump's quota is saying, I said, I think you should
- 6:26Speaker 1: pay us ten percent of the company, and they said yes.
- 6:30Speaker 1: It was that simple. Tan was photographed smiling with Commerce
- 6:35Speaker 1: Secretary Howard Lutnik in Washington to celebrate the deal, and
- 6:38Speaker 1: to the terms of the agreement, the government will become
- 6:40Speaker 1: Intel's the largest shareholder until previously received two point two
- 6:44Speaker 1: billion in ships X grants. The US is paying twenty
- 6:47Speaker 1: eight point four seven a share twenty dollars forty seven
- 6:50Speaker 1: cents a share, which is a discount of the twenty
- 6:53Speaker 1: three dollars Japan's soft Bank Group recently paid are agreed
- 6:57Speaker 1: to pay as part of a two billion dollar investment.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Stock closed at twenty four or eighty on Friday, I.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Don't get it.
- 7:05Speaker 1: And whether I understand the numerics or not, whether I
- 7:09Speaker 1: understand the you know, the calculus needed here to grasp
- 7:14Speaker 1: whether we're getting a good deal financially or not. The
- 7:17Speaker 1: philosophical aspect of this bugs me because you know, the
- 7:24Speaker 1: Chinese government owns businesses in China. They'll allow you to
- 7:27Speaker 1: be rich and run a business as long as you
- 7:29Speaker 1: are rich and run a business and give them your money,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and they'll let you play like you're, you know, an
- 7:33Speaker 1: independent business person. It's called communism. Same thing in Russia.
- 7:38Speaker 1: You ain't getting rich in Russia. Government's getting rich. Government
- 7:41Speaker 1: allows you to live well.
- 7:43Speaker 2: For giving them all the money. You're being the figurehead.
- 7:47Speaker 2: But it's not your company.
- 7:49Speaker 3: I do like in Russia, how like well, if you
- 7:52Speaker 3: like about Russia town you now, most people are mostly poor.
- 7:55Speaker 3: It's a large still kind of a grarian society. The
- 8:00Speaker 3: only rich people are ones that are close like kind
- 8:02Speaker 3: of a Putin. Yeah, the rich ones are worth like
- 8:04Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty gajillion dollars and everybody else has
- 8:08Speaker 3: like seventy roubles.
- 8:09Speaker 1: You're rich, and that's it. You're rich or dead when
- 8:12Speaker 1: you're close to Putin. These are your options, right, those
- 8:14Speaker 1: are the only options? And uh and again I don't
- 8:17Speaker 1: I don't want us know. I don't think the US government.
- 8:24Speaker 1: I mean, I know we have various accounts and retirement
- 8:29Speaker 1: and pension funds and so forth that owe mutual funds
- 8:32Speaker 1: that have invested in companies.
- 8:34Speaker 2: I get it.
- 8:34Speaker 1: But for the government, as an entity, as an actuary
- 8:39Speaker 1: for the people to acquire any percentage of a corporation
- 8:45Speaker 1: in the name of the people of the United States
- 8:47Speaker 1: of America, I'm just I'm not comfortable with this. I'm
- 8:51Speaker 1: sure on a business level it makes beautiful sense. He's
- 8:55Speaker 1: a he's a businessman. But just on a philosophical level,
- 8:59Speaker 1: I'm I'm not really, I'm not good with it. Again,
- 9:02Speaker 1: you're younger than I, more idealistic.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Where are you? Are you with me or.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Now I'm with you on this? There are things I
- 9:08Speaker 3: disagree with you on and Mark on, but I just
- 9:10Speaker 3: don't want to. I don't want to. The thing is,
- 9:12Speaker 3: I don't want to embarrass you guys. And how might
- 9:15Speaker 3: you do that because I would just like we'd have
- 9:18Speaker 3: a debate and then you you might quit.
- 9:22Speaker 2: I don't want to do that to you, whatever you say.
- 9:25Speaker 3: But no, I absolutely agree with you on this.
- 9:27Speaker 1: One Mayor of Cincinnati. Did I mention people make me
- 9:32Speaker 1: laugh what they don't intend to.
- 9:33Speaker 3: There is no every single I don't care how many
- 9:37Speaker 3: years goes by. Anytime I hear Mayor of Cincinnati or
- 9:39Speaker 3: a drive through Cincinnati to see my parents, I always
- 9:42Speaker 3: say to the mayor who threw out the first pitch
- 9:44Speaker 3: and it went like, do you remember that?
- 9:46Speaker 2: Vaguely? What did it like? Go right field Mallory, There
- 9:51Speaker 2: was something stupid.
- 9:52Speaker 3: It's because I lived there at that time, so it
- 9:54Speaker 3: was replayed.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Over it, over, it over.
- 9:57Speaker 3: It's one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Mayor of Cincinnati, fab I think it's pair of all,
- 10:03Speaker 1: pure of all. Perhaps said he's disappointed to hear of
- 10:06Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police unanimous no confidence vote
- 10:13Speaker 1: in him. The Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police's fully voting
- 10:16Speaker 1: no confidence in the mayor at a meeting on Monday night.
- 10:20Speaker 1: According to the FOP, the group Sani's vote comes due
- 10:23Speaker 1: to a series of leadership failures over the past month
- 10:26Speaker 1: that have undermined public safety, police operations, and community trust.
- 10:31Speaker 1: That would do it. I think that would pretty much
- 10:33Speaker 1: do it. That's that fracas in downtown.
- 10:39Speaker 2: That's what did.
- 10:40Speaker 1: FOP further said that the vote reflects concerns among FOP
- 10:44Speaker 1: members about the mayor's inability. Why can't I talk inability
- 10:49Speaker 1: to address critical issues facing Cincinnati and law enforcement officers. Now,
- 10:54Speaker 1: I don't know what this means. It's not like the
- 10:56Speaker 1: mayor is going to get fired. They're not going to
- 10:59Speaker 1: send him to you know, jail or a purgatory or
- 11:02Speaker 1: Columbus or anything like that. But it's just saying that
- 11:05Speaker 1: you know, your your police force, your servers and protectors
- 11:09Speaker 1: have no faith in your leadership. So I think it's
- 11:13Speaker 1: like a congressional censure. It's a smack on the risk
- 11:15Speaker 1: to say, but it really doesn't it result in anything. However,
- 11:20Speaker 1: it's Cincinnati. There are other cities in Ohio. I'm just saying,
- 11:26Speaker 1: let me get Drew in here before we have to
- 11:27Speaker 1: say goodbye. Drew. You're going to wrap us up on
- 11:29Speaker 1: Sixten Dobleu TV at High.
- 11:32Speaker 4: It's not not much pressure there, Sergeyez, I have a
- 11:35Speaker 4: question for you. And this is kind of like I
- 11:37Speaker 4: might be dating myself. This is kind of like one
- 11:39Speaker 4: of those Arsenio Hall things.
- 11:41Speaker 1: That make you go if you're dating yourself, Drew, you
- 11:44Speaker 1: downloaded a very very bad app that's not a good one.
- 11:47Speaker 2: You should be able to choose from other people.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Drew.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Are you okay, man?
- 11:52Speaker 4: I'm doing all right except come on our city of
- 11:55Speaker 4: all things that make you go very many Texas Temple.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Yes, all right?
- 12:00Speaker 4: So anyway, we thought you talked earlier in the show
- 12:03Speaker 4: in regards to Columbus traffic. Everyone in Columbus complains about
- 12:07Speaker 4: Columbus traffic. So here's the something. If everyone in Columbus
- 12:11Speaker 4: complains about Columbus traffic, aren't you complaining about yourself?
- 12:15Speaker 2: No? Because I drive better than everybody in Columbus. You
- 12:18Speaker 2: don't understand that question.
- 12:22Speaker 1: You know that song that says trailer for sale or
- 12:26Speaker 1: rent room?
- 12:28Speaker 2: You know how? You know what it ads. I'm king
- 12:31Speaker 2: of the road. I am king of the road. Baby.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Everybody's terrible on the road except you. Be careful out there, Drew.

- 13:05Speaker 1: not stallback. He was a quarterback for the Cincinnati Reds.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Kenny Rogers was the chicken guy, and he was a
- 13:11Speaker 1: coward too, of at least in his county.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Roger was it Williams.
- 13:16Speaker 3: There we go, Roger, Roger Williams Jr. Okay, say wow,
