Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
- 0:06Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Thursday morning, eighth day of January. I'm West thanks for
- 0:16Speaker 2: joining me. They're in a sip of water. Here we go,
- 0:22Speaker 2: Here we go. Tried to tell you a couple days ago,
- 0:27Speaker 2: we're going to get into the new year and it's
- 0:29Speaker 2: a midterm season and at some point something terrible is
- 0:36Speaker 2: going to happen, and it's going to be politicized in
- 0:39Speaker 2: a big way. It's the way things go. Unfortunately, it
- 0:45Speaker 2: has become very much a weapon of politics now, at
- 0:50Speaker 2: least for one side that never wants to, you know,
- 0:55Speaker 2: let a tragedy go to waste. Not to say that
- 0:59Speaker 2: both sides don't feel this way. I think that quote
- 1:01Speaker 2: goes back to a famous conservative. But the point is here,
- 1:05Speaker 2: it is. Here's the thing. And I wouldn't have guessed
- 1:08Speaker 2: ever that it was going to happen this fast into
- 1:11Speaker 2: the year, but it seems like it was inevitable. I
- 1:18Speaker 2: told you we were going to have riots. We were
- 1:20Speaker 2: going to and this is probably the turning point. This
- 1:22Speaker 2: is the beginning of where things go now for the
- 1:26Speaker 2: next you know, eleven months, ten months. As we get
- 1:31Speaker 2: deep into the year and get closer to the election
- 1:34Speaker 2: day for the midterms, this will be the main focus.
- 1:39Speaker 2: This is it, This has established it. This is the
- 1:42Speaker 2: beginning of the focus. The left will say that everything
- 1:48Speaker 2: hinges on this dictator, this tyrant that we have in office,
- 1:52Speaker 2: who dares to enforce the laws, the federal laws that
- 1:57Speaker 2: we have on the books. And they put all of
- 2:00Speaker 2: their eggs in the abortion basket. Pun kind of intended.
- 2:06Speaker 2: It's there. I've used it before. They put all of
- 2:11Speaker 2: them there. They put all the eggs there. And then
- 2:14Speaker 2: when it started to be clear that wasn't going to
- 2:16Speaker 2: get it, they thought, well, we're going to roll the
- 2:18Speaker 2: dice on a black woman. See if that's enough to
- 2:23Speaker 2: carry us through all this. But we'll tie abortion into her.
- 2:26Speaker 2: She said all the things we asked her to say
- 2:28Speaker 2: about abortion. She played the game with that. So let's
- 2:31Speaker 2: see if we can't make that happen. And it didn't work.
- 2:34Speaker 2: So now, the the Ice shooting that has taken place
- 2:43Speaker 2: is a horrible tragedy. It didn't have to happen. I
- 2:48Speaker 2: can tell you this. As we learn more information about
- 2:51Speaker 2: what happened, the specifics, the and that will come in time.
- 2:57Speaker 2: I'm not going to sit here and tell you the
- 3:02Speaker 2: loose story that we have. We've gotten one story from
- 3:07Speaker 2: the officers on the scene, from the Department of Homeland Security,
- 3:11Speaker 2: from Christy Noham, the director. We've gotten the story from
- 3:14Speaker 2: the White House, We've gotten a story from law enforcement,
- 3:19Speaker 2: and then we're getting the story from a bunch of
- 3:20Speaker 2: people who weren't there on the left. What does it
- 3:25Speaker 2: tell you that one of the first people to chime
- 3:27Speaker 2: in on this was the new mayor of New York
- 3:29Speaker 2: is what is the purpose in him sounding off on this?
- 3:35Speaker 2: What is the benefit? What is the purpose in that?
- 3:39Speaker 2: This is like a baseball manager chiming in on the
- 3:45Speaker 2: final game of the NFL season or the first round
- 3:50Speaker 2: of the playoffs or whatever. It's one of those things
- 3:53Speaker 2: where you go, sure, you're part of sports in general,
- 3:58Speaker 2: but what is your purpose and jumping in on this
- 4:01Speaker 2: unless you want to be somehow involved in this. So
- 4:07Speaker 2: that's kind of what we've got here. We've got politicians
- 4:11Speaker 2: that weren't there, We've got the usual suspects, the senators.
- 4:16Speaker 2: So let's run through this because a lot of people
- 4:18Speaker 2: yesterday took a very long time to even get into
- 4:22Speaker 2: actually who the person was that was shot and killed.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Her name Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Goods. She was thirty
- 4:30Speaker 2: seven years old. And the video is available online. And
- 4:36Speaker 2: I say that not necessarily to say you should watch it.
- 4:40Speaker 2: It's nothing like the Charlie Kirk video in that regard.
- 4:44Speaker 2: It's not easy to watch, certainly because you know the
- 4:47Speaker 2: outcome of what happened when you see that the gunshot
- 4:50Speaker 2: was fired the video. What you can see from the
- 4:55Speaker 2: video without hearing everything that's playing out there is you
- 5:00Speaker 2: see a person in a car, in a Honda Pilot SUV.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I think that's what it was, who starts to drive
- 5:08Speaker 2: away after trying to obstruct and get in the way
- 5:12Speaker 2: of ICE agents who were trying to do their jobs.
- 5:16Speaker 2: When police tried to I guess take her into custody.
- 5:19Speaker 2: That's what it looks like they're trying to do. They
- 5:21Speaker 2: go up, they try to open the door to her car.
- 5:23Speaker 2: She starts driving in the direction of an ICE agent
- 5:27Speaker 2: or a law enforcement agent of some kind. I assume
- 5:29Speaker 2: he was ICE and is in progress to hit him.
- 5:34Speaker 2: He's right in front of her in the car and
- 5:37Speaker 2: he pulls his gun as he's trained to do, and
- 5:39Speaker 2: he shot her. I don't know any details beyond that
- 5:43Speaker 2: that are in stone. I don't want to jump to
- 5:47Speaker 2: any conclusions. I don't want to assume anything about what happened,
- 5:52Speaker 2: other than to say this, if this woman was in
- 5:57Speaker 2: fact trying to obstruct federal agents from doing their job,
- 6:02Speaker 2: I think it shouldn't be a surprise for a lot
- 6:05Speaker 2: of people in the country that that is oftentimes an outcome,
- 6:10Speaker 2: that is an option if you're obstructing law enforcement from
- 6:14Speaker 2: doing their job. They are part of the executive branch.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Their job is to carry out the laws of the land.
- 6:23Speaker 2: It's all part We talk about our checks and balances,
- 6:26Speaker 2: we talk about our system in place, and law enforcement
- 6:30Speaker 2: is there to carry out that, especially if you're talking
- 6:34Speaker 2: about federal agents, you're talking about ice agents, and their
- 6:38Speaker 2: job is to carry out federal orders from the chief executive,
- 6:45Speaker 2: which is the President. That's their job. That's what they're
- 6:48Speaker 2: there to do. That's what they're supposed to be doing,
- 6:51Speaker 2: carrying out the orders that they've been given, protect and
- 6:55Speaker 2: defend the constitution, all of those things. I mean, this
- 6:58Speaker 2: is all part of it, right. It's also supposed to
- 7:01Speaker 2: be part of what you know lawmakers should be looking
- 7:04Speaker 2: out for They're supposed to be making the laws, and
- 7:10Speaker 2: they shouldn't be surprised when the laws are enforced. That's
- 7:13Speaker 2: what's baffling to me. Well, you know, a law gets
- 7:17Speaker 2: passed and it's signed in and it takes place, and
- 7:21Speaker 2: then people are stunned when the law is enforced. We're
- 7:24Speaker 2: just supposed to be this lawless place where anybody can
- 7:27Speaker 2: do whatever they want to do. So I don't know
- 7:31Speaker 2: the specifics behind Renee Nicole Good. I've heard stories that
- 7:37Speaker 2: she was trying to obstruct them. I don't know if
- 7:40Speaker 2: that is specifically what was taking place. That's been the allegation,
- 7:45Speaker 2: that's been the story. I have seen some people on
- 7:48Speaker 2: the left saying, well, that's not enough to shoot her.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Driving a car to a law enforcement agent while trying
- 7:55Speaker 2: to flee the scene of a crime and almost hitting him. Yeah,
- 8:00Speaker 2: that can get you shot. I can't tell you exactly
- 8:06Speaker 2: what the specifics of the training, or haven't gone through
- 8:09Speaker 2: the training. I can't tell you the specifics of when
- 8:13Speaker 2: someone is required to take a shot at a person
- 8:16Speaker 2: who is trying to attack them. I can tell you
- 8:19Speaker 2: this law enforcement is instructed to use deadly force when
- 8:25Speaker 2: they themselves feel like they're threatened. A car driving at
- 8:28Speaker 2: you at a close range, someone who is determined to
- 8:32Speaker 2: apparently flee the scene, I would think could constitute as that.
- 8:38Speaker 2: But let's step aside from that for a minute. Let's
- 8:41Speaker 2: talk about what's been going on for the last year
- 8:47Speaker 2: since Trump got back into office, Since ICE agents have
- 8:49Speaker 2: been going out and going after people who have been
- 8:52Speaker 2: in the country illegally. We've had governors, politicians, senators, representatives,
- 9:03Speaker 2: mayors referring to ICE agents as Gestapo, as Trump's masked Gestopo.
- 9:11Speaker 2: They're Nazi enforcers, they're Nazi secret police, and they wear
- 9:16Speaker 2: masks and they go out and do their jobs. Same
- 9:20Speaker 2: people criticizing them from wearing masks, by the way, are
- 9:22Speaker 2: the same people who still or allow people wearing masks
- 9:26Speaker 2: into banks in the name of COVID that. I haven't
- 9:30Speaker 2: figured that out yet. When are we going to stop
- 9:31Speaker 2: the masks and the banks. I don't understand that at all.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I get it, and I just did a whole thing
- 9:38Speaker 2: on masks the other day. You want to wear a mask,
- 9:40Speaker 2: go for it. You wear it in the right circumstance.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I don't know about wearing it into a bank or
- 9:46Speaker 2: into the grocery store. That all just seems kind of weird.
- 9:48Speaker 2: And it just as far as safety and security, that
- 9:52Speaker 2: used to be we were very anti mask and then
- 9:54Speaker 2: suddenly not so much. But the same people who have
- 9:59Speaker 2: been pro mask since the beginning of twenty twenty can't
- 10:06Speaker 2: stand the fact that these ICE agents, these federal agents,
- 10:09Speaker 2: who've had their lives threatened, their homes docked, anything they
- 10:15Speaker 2: can do to try to scare them and intimidate them.
- 10:17Speaker 2: They don't understand why they're wearing masks. I can think
- 10:21Speaker 2: of a reason that would be a reason to do it.
- 10:24Speaker 2: That's plenty of reason enough. So the same people who
- 10:27Speaker 2: have been saying get out of my town, get out
- 10:30Speaker 2: of my state specifically because of this, the mayor of Minneapolis,
- 10:35Speaker 2: Jacob Frye, telling ICE to get the f out of
- 10:39Speaker 2: the city. You're painting them as monsters. This is the
- 10:46Speaker 2: same story that we went through when Trump was shot,
- 10:50Speaker 2: when Trump had someone try to shoot him, when Charlie
- 10:52Speaker 2: Kirk was shot, And we could rattle off a number
- 10:57Speaker 2: of names. Violent situation when people are encouraged to commit violence,
- 11:03Speaker 2: when people are encouraged to take down the monsters and
- 11:09Speaker 2: the bad people and our ice agents have been painted
- 11:12Speaker 2: as monsters. I don't know the specifics of this case.
- 11:16Speaker 2: I don't know if this officer acted out of line.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I don't know if an investigation is going to reveal something.
- 11:22Speaker 2: I don't know yet. As is the case with any
- 11:25Speaker 2: in a situation that involves a police officer, if the
- 11:28Speaker 2: officer is out of line, and if the officer does
- 11:30Speaker 2: something that they should not do and it results in
- 11:33Speaker 2: the death of a person, then they absolutely must be
- 11:37Speaker 2: held accountable. But that's the thing, right is, we have
- 11:40Speaker 2: people calling for this person to be held accountable, while
- 11:44Speaker 2: we have millions of people in the country illegally that
- 11:47Speaker 2: are not going to be asked to be held accountable
- 11:50Speaker 2: for being in the country illegally. We have people who steal,
- 11:54Speaker 2: we have people who riot, we have people who burn
- 11:56Speaker 2: things down. We're already in it. We're into riot season,
- 12:00Speaker 2: kicked it off already. This is going to be the
- 12:03Speaker 2: reason that people are going to be mobilizing and beginning
- 12:07Speaker 2: their great revolution and all the things. And if you
- 12:11Speaker 2: don't think that's the case, think about how quickly Zoron Mamdani,
- 12:15Speaker 2: the mayor of New York now has pulled out he
- 12:18Speaker 2: quickly got a statement out on this. It's like he
- 12:21Speaker 2: had him pre written, ready to go, because we were
- 12:24Speaker 2: getting ready for riot season. This is what we do
- 12:28Speaker 2: in this country. And if you want to talk about
- 12:31Speaker 2: being baffled at why laws are enforced or not enforced,
- 12:35Speaker 2: this is the big one. I saw a joke on
- 12:39Speaker 2: the sixth from January sixth. I think it was Babylon
- 12:42Speaker 2: b commenting on Democrats. We're having a somber remembrance of
- 12:48Speaker 2: the one riot that they didn't like. Yeah, that's about right.
- 12:55Speaker 2: They like the chaos, they like the disorder. They this
- 12:58Speaker 2: is part of the commune playbook. This is part of
- 13:01Speaker 2: the socialist, communist, even Nazi playbook. This is part of
- 13:06Speaker 2: the way regimes step in and take over. They want chaos.
- 13:11Speaker 2: I talked about useful idiots, and immediately when something takes place,
- 13:17Speaker 2: the useful idiots come out of the woodworks. They're ready
- 13:20Speaker 2: to protest, they're ready to run around and you know,
- 13:23Speaker 2: collect a check. In some cases they're ready to go.
- 13:28Speaker 2: They get to hit one button I think calls them
- 13:30Speaker 2: all in and they come into work. They've just been
- 13:32Speaker 2: sitting around waiting on a chance to come to work.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Some of these people are genuinely upset, but I don't
- 13:38Speaker 2: know that they understand why they're upset. They're upset because
- 13:41Speaker 2: they were told to be upset. They're upset because they've
- 13:44Speaker 2: been told that this is a secret police. It's a
- 13:47Speaker 2: Nazi secret police that's out rounding up families and splitting
- 13:52Speaker 2: up families and throwing grandmothers in hidden jails in places,
- 13:56Speaker 2: all these accusations that are absolutely absurd. So DHS Assistant
- 14:05Speaker 2: Secretary Tricia McLachlan said that this incident is a direct
- 14:10Speaker 2: consequent of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by
- 14:14Speaker 2: sanctuary politicians. Yes, yes, it is, as is most of
- 14:23Speaker 2: the ultra violent things that are taking place when we're
- 14:27Speaker 2: starting to see this trend that happened where we had
- 14:30Speaker 2: public shootings of multiple people being committed by members of
- 14:36Speaker 2: the trans community, and people saying, well, they're being threatened
- 14:42Speaker 2: constantly by people who don't support them. It's threatening somebody
- 14:49Speaker 2: to not support them. It's not enough to just say, hey,
- 14:52Speaker 2: you go live your life. You go be you live
- 14:56Speaker 2: your life, be happy, do what you need to do.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Just don't hurt other people, and you go be you
- 15:01Speaker 2: you do that should be the goal. But me Having
- 15:06Speaker 2: that attitude makes me violent, and you can encourage violence.
- 15:14Speaker 2: You can tell people to obstruct federal agents and police
- 15:20Speaker 2: officers from doing their jobs and be surprised when something
- 15:25Speaker 2: tragic takes place. The lesson right now shouldn't be Aha,
- 15:31Speaker 2: we told you Ice was bad. The lesson now should
- 15:34Speaker 2: be hey, everybody, calm down. These guys have to do
- 15:38Speaker 2: their jobs, and if you get in the way of
- 15:41Speaker 2: them doing their jobs, it could be you next. If
- 15:47Speaker 2: this woman, Renee Nicole Good, if she in fact was
- 15:55Speaker 2: obstructing them, trying to prevent them from doing their job,
- 16:00Speaker 2: and that's what indications seem to point to, you can't
- 16:05Speaker 2: be surprised. This is a possible outcome for getting in
- 16:10Speaker 2: the way of law enforcement doing their job. Attacking law
- 16:14Speaker 2: enforcement can result in you being shot if you're willing
- 16:18Speaker 2: and I'm not speaking about her anymore, I'm just talking
- 16:20Speaker 2: about moving forward. If you're willing to die for some
- 16:23Speaker 2: Democrat politicians to have more power and to control things
- 16:28Speaker 2: a little bit longer and make themselves rich while they're
- 16:30Speaker 2: in office with insider trading, if that is your goal
- 16:34Speaker 2: in life, and you feel like I can contribute to this,
- 16:40Speaker 2: because at this point you now know, getting in the
- 16:44Speaker 2: way of law enforcement doing their job. This is a
- 16:48Speaker 2: possible outcome. It's true all the time. It amazes me
- 16:53Speaker 2: that when someone is intentionally obstinate and attacks a police
- 16:57Speaker 2: officer and get shot, we're all so prized. I can't believe.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Why didn't they shoot them in the leg? Why didn't
- 17:04Speaker 2: they try to shoot out the tires of this vehicle
- 17:07Speaker 2: that was driving straight at a person. He's supposed to
- 17:11Speaker 2: do that. You know what shooting on a tire and
- 17:14Speaker 2: a vehicle driving at you is gonna do if it's
- 17:16Speaker 2: about to hit you. Nothing. Is he gonna slow it
- 17:21Speaker 2: down enough that it's not gonna hit you and possibly
- 17:24Speaker 2: run you over. No, And they're not trained to do
- 17:29Speaker 2: that anyway. They're trained to say, if we pull a
- 17:32Speaker 2: weapon and we're going to fire the weapon, this is
- 17:36Speaker 2: a situation where we're threatened, you shoot to kill. Sadly,
- 17:41Speaker 2: that's the outcome in this story. I'm thankful that the
- 17:44Speaker 2: officer is not the person who was run over by
- 17:48Speaker 2: a car. Again, assuming the information we have thus far
- 17:53Speaker 2: is accurate, it's a horrible tragedy. And you have people
- 18:00Speaker 2: on the left that are rubbing their hands together, going
- 18:02Speaker 2: here we go here we go. This is our thing.
- 18:07Speaker 2: COVID was their thing. They saw that as an opportunity.
- 18:11Speaker 2: You had the leak for Roe v. Wade. They thought,
- 18:13Speaker 2: this is it the ruling about overturning Roe v. Wade,
- 18:17Speaker 2: and they were like, this is it. Someone's gotten us
- 18:20Speaker 2: this information ahead of time. We can weaponize it sooner.
- 18:26Speaker 2: That's what they saw. That's what they're doing right now.
- 18:30Speaker 2: If you think they didn't go to bed last night
- 18:32Speaker 2: preparing everything for today, it's the beginning. I told you
- 18:38Speaker 2: it was coming. I just didn't know what would be
- 18:39Speaker 2: this soon, and I didn't know how it was going
- 18:41Speaker 2: to happen. Makes perfect sense, though, as much as Ice
- 18:45Speaker 2: has been vilified and attacked and villainized, I guess as
- 18:53Speaker 2: the right word vilified works too. As much as they've
- 18:59Speaker 2: been disparaged. It's not a surprise that we have people
- 19:05Speaker 2: that think it's they're somehow right to step in and
- 19:09Speaker 2: try to stop them. They have some right to step
- 19:13Speaker 2: in and get in the way and obstruct. It's not
- 19:16Speaker 2: a surprise. And it's been happening. It's been happening a lot,
- 19:22Speaker 2: and this has now happen, and it's horrible. But the
- 19:26Speaker 2: lesson now moving forward is let them do their jobs.
- 19:30Speaker 2: It's not your job to try to stop them while
- 19:32Speaker 2: they're outdoing theirs. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

- 21:51Speaker 2: the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your
- 21:53Speaker 2: garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you
- 21:57Speaker 2: want it to be, and you need some repair work
- 22:00Speaker 2: done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
- 22:02Speaker 2: new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
- 22:06Speaker 2: your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
- 22:09Speaker 2: of insuallation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
- 22:16Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
- 22:19Speaker 2: screen door to your garage door system that you can
- 22:22Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
- 22:25Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
- 22:28Speaker 2: like to work on your own cars in there, or
- 22:30Speaker 2: maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like
- 22:33Speaker 2: to be able to open the door up and not
- 22:34Speaker 2: invite all the insects in. They can do that for
- 22:37Speaker 2: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 22:40Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 22:43Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 22:46Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
- 22:49Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six Thtory five eight forty

- 23:00Speaker 2: right after the break. So Sydney Sweeney has folks worked
- 23:12Speaker 2: up yet again. She's on the cover of the new
- 23:18Speaker 2: w is It Magazine, as always called. She's not wearing
- 23:25Speaker 2: any clothes, she's in gold body paint. She's turned to
- 23:29Speaker 2: the side. It's not like it's a you know, magazine
- 23:33Speaker 2: behind the counter at the gas station. It's not that.
- 23:38Speaker 2: But it's got people losing their minds because, you know,
- 23:42Speaker 2: attractive woman, straight white votes, Republican, all of those things.
- 23:52Speaker 2: You know, people would have loved to be still embracing her,
- 23:55Speaker 2: but they figured out that they weren't supposed to do
- 23:58Speaker 2: that anymore. So they're up set with her saying that
- 24:01Speaker 2: she's not Marilyn Monroe and all these sorts of things.
- 24:04Speaker 2: She is someone who is, you know, gonna be on
- 24:10Speaker 2: awards watch over the next couple of months because she's
- 24:16Speaker 2: got a movie that she's getting Oscar buzz an Awards
- 24:20Speaker 2: buzz over. So they have to just accept the fact
- 24:23Speaker 2: that she's gonna get talked about. But people just losing
- 24:26Speaker 2: their absolutely losing their minds. About Sydney Sweeney. I don't understand.
- 24:35Speaker 2: I mean I do understand, I just don't understand that
- 24:39Speaker 2: makes sense. I just the hatred over somebody just because
- 24:44Speaker 2: they vote differently than you. It's nuts, it's absolutely nuts.
- 24:48Speaker 2: But it's just how we are. It's what we do
- 24:52Speaker 2: for some reason. So we're ten years away from twenty
- 24:56Speaker 2: twenty six, I mean twenty sixteen, because it's twenty twenty six.
- 25:00Speaker 2: I did the math in my head right there. But
- 25:02Speaker 2: apparently as people are looking back to twenty sixteen and
- 25:07Speaker 2: remembering how great things were back in twenty sixteen, they say,
- 25:12Speaker 2: so basically there's a bit of a nostalgia for that year.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Pokemon Go, the Mannequin Challenge, Stranger Things, and people using
- 25:21Speaker 2: social media with old photos with captions like happy twenty sixteen.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Wake up, it's twenty sixteen, and they're saying, basically to
- 25:29Speaker 2: petition to bring back every dance from twenty sixteen. So basically,
- 25:36Speaker 2: this renaissance, if you will. According to psychologist Clay Rutledge
- 25:42Speaker 2: says that it comes from the stress, loneliness, and anxiety
- 25:46Speaker 2: moments when people reach back for something comforting or energizing.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Many people would like twenty sixteen feel like it had
- 25:53Speaker 2: a lot of things for people to reach for pop culture, highs,
- 25:56Speaker 2: world events. He says revisiting old music, movies, and games
- 26:00Speaker 2: isn't just escapism. It's actually a way to boost our
- 26:03Speaker 2: well being and help us move through tough times throughout
- 26:08Speaker 2: our day. So there you go. It's just ten years ago.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I mean, that's all it is, and I guess next
- 26:16Speaker 2: year will be like twenty seventeen. It's so great if
- 26:19Speaker 2: you're a fan of pricey drinks, cocktails, that is, there
- 26:24Speaker 2: is a lot of times those drinks are more about
- 26:29Speaker 2: presentation than the actual drink. And if that's you, if
- 26:32Speaker 2: you like those, you should think about this. If you
- 26:35Speaker 2: order one of those colorful, instagram worthy drinks billowing smoke,
- 26:41Speaker 2: you could actually end up in the er with an
- 26:43Speaker 2: exploded stomach. Doctor's sounding alarm about drinks containing liquid nitrogen.
- 26:48Speaker 2: It's really cold, it's chemical, and they use it at
- 26:51Speaker 2: bars to create that dramatic smoky effect. However, liquid nitrogen
- 26:57Speaker 2: is so cold it actually boils at room temperture and
- 27:01Speaker 2: if it swallowed before it fully evaporates, it can cause
- 27:04Speaker 2: internal damage frostbite to the stomach and intestine. So some
- 27:09Speaker 2: cases you could actually have a ruptured stomach. So if
- 27:11Speaker 2: your cocktail is smoking, don't drink it, or just do
- 27:17Speaker 2: like me, I've never been in danger of my stomach
- 27:19Speaker 2: exploding from just having a couple of fingers of whiskey.
- 27:24Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I've been in danger of that.
- 27:27Speaker 2: It certainly hasn't happened. So I'm not drinking any of
- 27:32Speaker 2: those types of drinks, is all I'm getting at. That's
- 27:34Speaker 2: basically where I'm at, all right, So AI, the backlash
- 27:39Speaker 2: is there. We just had a story about Walmart. I
- 27:42Speaker 2: guess yesterday about Walmart using AI or using three D printers.
- 27:46Speaker 2: That's not quite AI. But to me, that's an aisque
- 27:49Speaker 2: type thing. It's not quite AI. I just feel like
- 27:53Speaker 2: they're kind of hand in hand, is why I think
- 27:56Speaker 2: of those two together. But anyway, so backlash against A
- 28:00Speaker 2: has grown. Companies are not giving up on it though.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Lepro as a company that has introduced the Amy, a
- 28:05Speaker 2: device that Chinese company says is not just an AI
- 28:09Speaker 2: companion for those who work at home, but also an
- 28:12Speaker 2: AI soulmate. Oh. The Amy is a small curved screen
- 28:16Speaker 2: meant to sit on your desk. It tracks your eyes
- 28:19Speaker 2: and simulates the feeling that something is actually there with you.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Lepro claims. Users describe it as feeling in the room
- 28:27Speaker 2: and not hidden behind a phone screen or buried in
- 28:30Speaker 2: chat interface. Yeah, the Alexa device is starting to get
- 28:35Speaker 2: real chatty. It really is getting chatty these days. So
- 28:41Speaker 2: just saying I feel like we're not too far behind
- 28:43Speaker 2: the old Lepro. That'll do it for this Thursday edition
- 28:48Speaker 2: of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
