Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, twenty fourth day of April. I'm west Thanks
0:14
Speaker 2: for joining me. Sliding on into the end of the week,
0:21
Speaker 2: coming up here fast and then the end of the month.
0:23
Speaker 2: That's happening quickly. I want to talk about this baby
0:29
Speaker 2: bonus thing that's come up as some people are trying
0:33
Speaker 2: to figure out what do we do about declining birth
0:37
Speaker 2: rates in America and this is a kind of parts
0:41
Speaker 2: of the world are sharing this sentiment that's going on
0:46
Speaker 2: as far as we do something. Elon Musk is one
0:49
Speaker 2: of the people saying we're in danger of extincting ourselves
0:53
Speaker 2: if this trend continues as birth rates have declined. People
0:59
Speaker 2: just know, if they're just not interested, I don't know,
1:02
Speaker 2: if they're not happy with the state of the world.
1:05
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that we have enough research
1:07
Speaker 2: into the reason. Perhaps people are too self absorbed when
1:13
Speaker 2: it comes to life in general and social media and
1:19
Speaker 2: being able to I mean, let's just be honest here.
1:22
Speaker 2: There's an abundance of ways to occupy yourself on the internet.
1:29
Speaker 2: Read that how you want to interpret that in whatever
1:32
Speaker 2: way you choose. But there are just things that keep
1:35
Speaker 2: our attention focused away from the people in our lives.
1:38
Speaker 2: Maybe it's harder to interact with people when basically, if
1:43
Speaker 2: you walk down the street and you meet someone, they
1:46
Speaker 2: may share the same views that you do, or they
1:48
Speaker 2: may hate your guts for having different political views. So
1:51
Speaker 2: right away, this notion of you know, you have to
1:56
Speaker 2: hate everybody who disagrees with you is immediately in many
2:02
Speaker 2: cases cutting out a section of the population from being
2:07
Speaker 2: even datable. Right And then of course with social media,
2:13
Speaker 2: with this satisfaction and gratification that you get from social media.
2:18
Speaker 2: We talked about this on yesterday's show, this idea of
2:22
Speaker 2: it being some sort of a boost to your ego
2:26
Speaker 2: when it comes to dating apps, and I think that's
2:28
Speaker 2: true with a lot of social media when it comes
2:31
Speaker 2: to your politics and things like that. So we're seeing
2:37
Speaker 2: this trend in birth rates declining and look, and you know,
2:44
Speaker 2: I kind of tiptoed around it, but let's just be honest.
2:47
Speaker 2: There are a lot of studies and experts that say
2:49
Speaker 2: that the abundance of adult material online has created a
2:54
Speaker 2: number of things unrealistic expectations. The just general, like they
3:02
Speaker 2: talk about people that you know, have lost their innerability
3:06
Speaker 2: to act interact with other people because of these unrealistic
3:11
Speaker 2: expectations that they see online that's portrayed in adult material online.
3:18
Speaker 2: So and truthfully, you got a lot of people just
3:22
Speaker 2: kind of they're confused about their sexuality, they're confused about
3:27
Speaker 2: their whole gender, They're confused about a lot of things,
3:32
Speaker 2: and people really have to kind of tiptoe their way
3:36
Speaker 2: around conversations with people. There's a lot that could be
3:41
Speaker 2: part of this whole thing. But here's and as we
3:46
Speaker 2: look at the possibility that we could be, you know,
3:50
Speaker 2: losing population, you've got people on the planet that think
3:53
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. I haven't talked about this really,
3:56
Speaker 2: but there's a study done out of Australia saying, hey,
4:01
Speaker 2: dogs are bad. You shouldn't have a pet dog because
4:04
Speaker 2: they produce carbon dioxide and they have contribute waste to
4:08
Speaker 2: planet Earth and all these things. And those people, you know,
4:11
Speaker 2: if we're going to start taking people and throwing them
4:15
Speaker 2: off planet, I think the people who think dogs are
4:17
Speaker 2: bad for you know, climate change, or the first ones
4:21
Speaker 2: we should take off planet. Maybe let them live on
4:23
Speaker 2: the moon or whatever. That's my thoughts. But anyway, that's
4:27
Speaker 2: just because I love dogs, and I really really love
4:29
Speaker 2: my dog, and I love my dog more than most
4:31
Speaker 2: people who would complain about what's going on with climate change.
4:37
Speaker 2: Just the reality here. So you got people that think
4:41
Speaker 2: that they got too many people on the planet. There's
4:43
Speaker 2: just too many people out there, and there's the Thanos
4:48
Speaker 2: was right. If you're a Marvel fan, perhaps that's you
4:53
Speaker 2: can understand what that means. You know. Thanos was the
4:56
Speaker 2: big villain in the Marvel movies that said, I want
4:59
Speaker 2: to snap away half of all living things because we
5:04
Speaker 2: don't have enough resources for all of those living things.
5:08
Speaker 2: So we snap them out of existence, they disappear, they
5:11
Speaker 2: vanish into thin air, and then we can all get
5:16
Speaker 2: on with life, which of course is something that you'd
5:20
Speaker 2: have people environmental people would embrace and go, yeah, that's right,
5:25
Speaker 2: that's really what we want now. And I don't want
5:29
Speaker 2: to get too deep into the nerd weeds here, but
5:31
Speaker 2: the idea for Thanos in the comics was he was
5:35
Speaker 2: in love with the basically the actual embodiment of death.
5:41
Speaker 2: That's why he did it. He wanted to kill all
5:43
Speaker 2: these people. Marvel went a different way with it with
5:46
Speaker 2: the movies, and they basically said he was just kind
5:48
Speaker 2: of doing it for in a way environmental reasons. Right,
5:52
Speaker 2: He'd had to do with sustainability and you know, resources
5:58
Speaker 2: and all those sorts of things. So there are people
6:02
Speaker 2: who felt like ultimately that Thanos was right by his thinking.
6:07
Speaker 2: And you know, you could kind of make a case
6:10
Speaker 2: there was a eugenics storyline to it underlying a lot
6:14
Speaker 2: of people didn't want to even pretend that that was
6:17
Speaker 2: part of it. But let's be let's be real. You
6:19
Speaker 2: got some people who say that abortion is good because
6:22
Speaker 2: it's population control, it's helping to keep the numbers down. Okay.
6:27
Speaker 2: So with all that said, one of the chief complaints
6:32
Speaker 2: from the from the left or the pro abortion movement
6:37
Speaker 2: or the I don't you know, I've done a whole
6:40
Speaker 2: I've done multiple shows on this and I talk about it.
6:42
Speaker 2: I don't like the you got pro choice and then
6:45
Speaker 2: you've got anti abortion. There's a little gameplay, little little
6:50
Speaker 2: mind game wordsmith with the words. You want to associate
6:54
Speaker 2: the anti with one side, and of course people on
6:57
Speaker 2: the pro life side, they don't like, they don't want
6:59
Speaker 2: to use the anti abortion. They say pro life and
7:02
Speaker 2: you can say pro choice if that's what you want
7:03
Speaker 2: to say, but you can't say pro death. You can't
7:06
Speaker 2: say pro or anti life. You can't use those sorts
7:10
Speaker 2: of terminology. Those don't float. So the people who are
7:14
Speaker 2: on the pro choice side of things, the pro abortion
7:18
Speaker 2: side of things, they have said for a number of years.
7:21
Speaker 2: One of the arguments that comes around as they say, well,
7:24
Speaker 2: folks on the right, the pro life people, the anti
7:27
Speaker 2: abortion people. The Republicans say that they want to preserve life,
7:34
Speaker 2: they want to make sure that these unborn babies are
7:36
Speaker 2: protected and that they're given the ability to be born,
7:41
Speaker 2: but they don't want to do anything for them once
7:45
Speaker 2: they are born. That's what the left says about Republicans.
7:49
Speaker 2: They don't want to provide social programs, and they don't
7:52
Speaker 2: want to provide financial backing for these kids when they're born. So,
8:00
Speaker 2: and of course there's a few things that play there. Typically,
8:05
Speaker 2: for the most part, more conservative minded people will say, look,
8:10
Speaker 2: we're looking out for the unborn. You got mothers that
8:14
Speaker 2: say it's my body, it's my choice. But conservatives say,
8:18
Speaker 2: there's another body at play here that's inside you, and
8:21
Speaker 2: that's the one that we're sticking up for. So I
8:25
Speaker 2: don't know of anyone who wouldn't say, hey, if you
8:27
Speaker 2: could take the unborn baby out and let it be
8:31
Speaker 2: born somewhere else, I would say that most conservatives wouldn't
8:36
Speaker 2: have a problem with that. Like, the issue here is
8:38
Speaker 2: not we want to force you to do something. The
8:42
Speaker 2: issue here is we're trying to protect someone who we
8:45
Speaker 2: believe to be alive. Maybe you don't. I mean, there's
8:50
Speaker 2: some discussions where you have people say, well, the baby's
8:53
Speaker 2: not born yet, the baby's not alive. You okay, But
8:56
Speaker 2: if you want the baby, then the baby is alive.
9:00
Speaker 2: It's a weird little game that we play with this
9:02
Speaker 2: sometimes with some people where they say, if I want
9:05
Speaker 2: the baby, the baby's alive. If I don't want the baby,
9:07
Speaker 2: the baby's not alive. And so that's the thing. For
9:12
Speaker 2: the most part, you got the pro life people that say,
9:14
Speaker 2: we're looking out for the baby that hasn't been born yet.
9:17
Speaker 2: We want to give that baby a chance. We see
9:19
Speaker 2: that baby is alive, whether you do or not. So
9:21
Speaker 2: of course you would want to protect that baby if
9:24
Speaker 2: you believe it to be alive. And then that's the
9:28
Speaker 2: question that's where the debate can start, is is the
9:30
Speaker 2: baby alive or is it not. But pro life people
9:33
Speaker 2: believe the baby to be alive in the womb, So
9:37
Speaker 2: you have to understand this isn't about controlling the mother.
9:39
Speaker 2: It's about that now, once a child is born, once
9:42
Speaker 2: a person has taken the responsibility of having sex having
9:48
Speaker 2: a baby, for the most part, there's a belief that
9:52
Speaker 2: it's everyone's responsibility to take care of the child that
9:55
Speaker 2: they produce. So that's where this little alt it's a
9:59
Speaker 2: false flag that gets thrown up where the left says, well,
10:02
Speaker 2: you should want to take care of those unborn babies
10:04
Speaker 2: when they're born. You should have to provide free food
10:07
Speaker 2: and free schooling and free in which we do, but
10:10
Speaker 2: you know, a taxpayer, but you should provide free health care.
10:14
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to do those things. And that's a separate
10:18
Speaker 2: conversation altogether. That doesn't have anything to do with is
10:21
Speaker 2: the baby alive or is the baby not alive? Is
10:24
Speaker 2: it convenience that the baby's life is terminated or not.
10:28
Speaker 2: That's where you get anyway. So now there's discussion that hey,
10:33
Speaker 2: maybe we have a real problem with the population dropping.
10:36
Speaker 2: Maybe there needs to be some incentives for younger people
10:39
Speaker 2: to have babies. And now there's a cash incentive idea
10:42
Speaker 2: that's being floated around to give a five thousand dollars
10:46
Speaker 2: baby bonus for new mothers. And you would think that
10:52
Speaker 2: these people on the left that have been complaining that
10:55
Speaker 2: the right's not proposing any sort of a compensation or
10:59
Speaker 2: way to take care of these babies once they're born,
11:03
Speaker 2: it sounds like that's a step in that direction. And
11:06
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, I don't know where the like.
11:10
Speaker 2: This idea of having a baby for cash doesn't sound
11:17
Speaker 2: like a great thing to me. I've been in countries
11:20
Speaker 2: before that we're doing these kind of incentives to get
11:23
Speaker 2: the population up, and I know that that's a real
11:26
Speaker 2: thing that happens in parts of the world, and I
11:29
Speaker 2: know people that were talking about it. Maybe it would
11:31
Speaker 2: be worth that if we could get a new TV.
11:34
Speaker 2: I think that's the point of the money. But anyway,
11:37
Speaker 2: so which is what would happen? By the way, you
11:39
Speaker 2: know a lot of people upgrading their home theater systems
11:43
Speaker 2: and their home their TVs and maybe their cars or whatever.
11:49
Speaker 2: But some people need those things to drive the babies
11:51
Speaker 2: around and let the babies watch Miss Applebum or whatever
11:55
Speaker 2: her name is. So whatever that show is. So the
12:01
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars that's being proposed or discussed was mentioned
12:07
Speaker 2: to the President, and he says that he basically has
12:13
Speaker 2: said it sounds like it might be a good idea,
12:16
Speaker 2: and of course that makes the left lose their minds
12:22
Speaker 2: Exhibit A. The view will be Goldberg is insulted. I
12:28
Speaker 2: will say this, I paid my money. I want my
12:30
Speaker 2: money back from Social Security. I'm sorry, it's not anybody
12:34
Speaker 2: else's responsibility but mine to make sure they're disgusting stuff
12:37
Speaker 2: about Social Security. But then basically I want to skip
12:39
Speaker 2: ahead to where she says, I'm not I'm insulted by
12:44
Speaker 2: the money. Five thousand dollars, Yes, sounds like a lot
12:46
Speaker 2: of money, but if you can't pay your rent, if
12:47
Speaker 2: you can't pay for after school programs for your kids,
12:50
Speaker 2: basically saying that five thousand dollars just isn't enough. Alissa
12:55
Speaker 2: Farrah Griffin on the show says, I feel like if
12:58
Speaker 2: Joe Biden proposed this, we would all be saying it groundbreak. Yes, yes,
13:06
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I don't often agree with people
13:09
Speaker 2: in the view, but I agree if this was something
13:10
Speaker 2: that came from the left, and that's part of the
13:11
Speaker 2: problem people lose their minds because someone on the Republican
13:18
Speaker 2: side comes up with something that let's be honest, there's
13:21
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of conservatives who don't think this
13:23
Speaker 2: is a good idea. Sonny Houston says, I want to
13:27
Speaker 2: reframe the issue a little bit, because here's where we
13:30
Speaker 2: get to the fun stuff. When I look at something
13:32
Speaker 2: like this, these proposals, I want to know why, and
13:35
Speaker 2: I want to know who's making them. And so when
13:37
Speaker 2: I looked into that, they're saying that the US birth
13:40
Speaker 2: rate is declining. However, in twenty twenty four, there was
13:43
Speaker 2: a one percent increase in US births. Pause for a second,
13:47
Speaker 2: step out of the quote for just a second. This
13:51
Speaker 2: is also like the inflation game. Okay, we're not talking
13:55
Speaker 2: about negative birth rate. We're talking about fewer babies being born.
13:59
Speaker 2: It's like inflation when you get you know, the folks
14:03
Speaker 2: on the left that want to say, well, inflation has
14:07
Speaker 2: dropped tremendously, it's way down. That doesn't mean prices aren't
14:11
Speaker 2: still going up. What it meant during the Biden administration
14:15
Speaker 2: is they weren't going up as fast as they were
14:17
Speaker 2: going see inflation. You know, Biden gets into office, You're
14:21
Speaker 2: looking at a normal inflation rate, and it jumps up
14:25
Speaker 2: to record highs and then it starts to slowly drop
14:28
Speaker 2: back down, and they're praising how much it had gone down,
14:31
Speaker 2: when in reality, it hadn't gone back down to where
14:34
Speaker 2: it was when he got into office. And that's the problem.
14:36
Speaker 2: So a one percent increase in births is what she's
14:39
Speaker 2: talking about. Back into the quote, she says, but that
14:42
Speaker 2: increase was with Hispanic mothers and Asian mothers. Aha, like
14:47
Speaker 2: she's saying this divine realization. So they don't seem to
14:51
Speaker 2: be concerned about the increase. They seem to be concerned
14:54
Speaker 2: about the decrease in other populations, which what Pie Goldberg
14:58
Speaker 2: points out and says, you can go ahead and say
15:00
Speaker 2: joy Behar says, white children. So this has now become
15:04
Speaker 2: an issue of race. This is the idea. And then
15:09
Speaker 2: they're back to the conversation about Project twenty twenty five,
15:14
Speaker 2: right back into this idea of Project twenty twenty five.
15:19
Speaker 2: They jump back in host and says, I'm just giving facts.
15:23
Speaker 2: And so also when I think about who's advocating Project
15:26
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, remember that which was tied to the
15:28
Speaker 2: Heritage Foundation, the think tank that led Project twenty twenty five.
15:32
Speaker 2: They open up the Project twenty twenty five before anything else,
15:36
Speaker 2: talking about family issues. The first chapter promises to restore
15:39
Speaker 2: the family as the centerpiece of American life, and the
15:42
Speaker 2: Heritage Foundation in particular has been researching the issue for
15:46
Speaker 2: over two years and preparing to release a report in
15:49
Speaker 2: the coming weeks on how it believes the administration should
15:52
Speaker 2: counter declining birth rates. So I just leave that with
15:55
Speaker 2: all of you, because I think when we're talking about
15:57
Speaker 2: the United States, we need to think about who's proposed
16:00
Speaker 2: using it and why. And I don't know where this
16:02
Speaker 2: idea came from. I just know that the default is
16:05
Speaker 2: to go back to Project twenty twenty five and blame
16:07
Speaker 2: it for that and assume that there's some sort of
16:09
Speaker 2: a racist thing that's going on with it. So, yes,
16:13
Speaker 2: if they're promising to try to think about family issues
16:17
Speaker 2: and make the family the centerpiece of American life, what's
16:20
Speaker 2: the problem there? What are we complaining about? If that's
16:23
Speaker 2: part of Project twenty twenty five. Who could complain about
16:27
Speaker 2: making the American family an important part of American life,
16:31
Speaker 2: a centerpiece? Cause should be right and that should be true,
16:36
Speaker 2: not just in America, all around the world. Anyway, they
16:38
Speaker 2: found a way to make this racist because someone on
16:42
Speaker 2: the right has proposed something that's not overly a conservative idea,
16:47
Speaker 2: it's a conservative idea at all. Who's paying the five
16:50
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for the babies to be born? And the questions,
16:53
Speaker 2: of course come up, well, wait a minute, what about
16:55
Speaker 2: the people who already had the babies? What about the
16:58
Speaker 2: people who are now out of the baby be business
17:01
Speaker 2: that maybe would like to have one more for five
17:04
Speaker 2: grand I mean, it's kind of a weird thought, though,
17:06
Speaker 2: isn't it. Anyway, So of course they found a way
17:09
Speaker 2: to make this about race. They found a way to say, hey,
17:12
Speaker 2: wait a minute, wait a minute, the birth rates aren't
17:16
Speaker 2: down because they're already still at one percent. It's supposed
17:19
Speaker 2: to be more than one percent.
17:20
Speaker 1: That's the problem.
17:21
Speaker 2: And this is just about white babies. This is about saying, look,
17:25
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that we have a population
17:30
Speaker 2: moving forward. We want to make sure that we still
17:32
Speaker 2: have people on this planet moving forward. But it's interesting,
17:36
Speaker 2: we're not talking about climate change here. We're talking about
17:41
Speaker 2: it's racism, that's what we're talking about. Because this is
17:45
Speaker 2: about finding another way to attach racism to this administration.
17:49

Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
20:02
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
20:04
Speaker 2: they're there you can always ask them questions about some
20:07
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
20:09
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
20:13
Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
20:15
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
20:17
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
20:21
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
20:25
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
20:28
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
20:32
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
20:34
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
20:38
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
20:40
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
20:44
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
20:46
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
20:49
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
20:50
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
20:53
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
20:56
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
20:59
Speaker 2: trapped inside your gara and your garage door won't open
21:02
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
21:05
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five
21:08
Speaker 2: hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
21:11
Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning show. Right
21:16
Speaker 2: after the break, a new survey finds that people are
21:27
Speaker 2: not saving their money. They're not saving for a rainy day.
21:32
Speaker 2: They are in a storm now, I guess. The survey
21:34
Speaker 2: found sixty seven percent of Americans say that they're behind
21:37
Speaker 2: on their savings goals. Forty seven percent of completely given
21:40
Speaker 2: up hope that they'll be able to save any money.
21:43
Speaker 2: Since January of this year, sixty three percent of people
21:45
Speaker 2: with savings accounts have withdrawn money primarily for unexpected expenses,
21:50
Speaker 2: everyday necessities, emergencies, house payments, rent, mortgages, and have made
21:57
Speaker 2: five or more withdrawals since the beginning of the year.
22:02
Speaker 2: I go back with this, and again I'm just this
22:05
Speaker 2: is me kind of shooting from the hip, all right,
22:07
Speaker 2: and I'm just pointing this out. But we got into
22:10
Speaker 2: a late part of the year after the Trump election
22:12
Speaker 2: and people started to feel positive about where the economy
22:15
Speaker 2: was going. And I think a lot of people at
22:16
Speaker 2: that point they were still trying to recover from the
22:19
Speaker 2: previous administration. The Biden White House did not do a
22:23
Speaker 2: lot to help us get through COVID and recover. They
22:26
Speaker 2: claimed that they were doing things. They took credit for
22:29
Speaker 2: creating jobs when in reality, it was just some people
22:32
Speaker 2: going back to work. It wasn't a situation of a
22:35
Speaker 2: I'm a brand new job we created. It was jobs
22:39
Speaker 2: that were tanked in the name of COVID and the
22:42
Speaker 2: COVID election, right the COVID crisis that was doubled and
22:47
Speaker 2: tripled down on. So then people were struggling and they
22:53
Speaker 2: were trying to get back on their feet, and this
22:55
Speaker 2: administration said, no, we've got to do green new deal stuff.
22:58
Speaker 2: We got to do all this, and it caused prices
23:00
Speaker 2: to go up, and then people were struggling. And then
23:03
Speaker 2: the promise of going back to the previous administration who
23:07
Speaker 2: before COVID, things were humming right along nicely. And I
23:11
Speaker 2: think a lot of people took out stuff on credit.
23:14
Speaker 2: They spent Christmas on credit last year, even Thanksgiving on credit,
23:19
Speaker 2: and they were paying all that. I think that may
23:21
Speaker 2: be part of all of this. But yeah, I think
23:23
Speaker 2: that we have a lot of younger people that don't
23:26
Speaker 2: understand that you're going to have to save your money.
23:29
Speaker 2: It's just a reality that at some point you got
23:33
Speaker 2: to start doing it. And sadly a lot of people
23:35
Speaker 2: don't realize that until much too late. They don't get
23:38
Speaker 2: started fast enough and they're just not able to in
23:41
Speaker 2: some cases. And I understand that, So there you go,
23:46
Speaker 2: all right. According to a new study, older adults who
23:48
Speaker 2: visit the hospital for cannabis related issues may face a
23:52
Speaker 2: higher risk of developing dementia. Researchers found that adults who
23:56
Speaker 2: get treated in the emergency room or hospitalized for overus
24:00
Speaker 2: of cannabis have any seventy two percent greater risk of
24:02
Speaker 2: dementia compared to the general population. While that study doesn't
24:07
Speaker 2: prove cannabis directly causes dementia, it definitely shows that there's
24:10
Speaker 2: a link between the two. This is another study that
24:13
Speaker 2: the pro cannabis, pro weed people are going to ignore
24:17
Speaker 2: because we've seen cases of schizophrenia, we've seen cases of dementia.
24:22
Speaker 2: There have been a number of studies relating to brain
24:24
Speaker 2: issues as it pertains to dopamine levels. There's a lot
24:31
Speaker 2: just to digest. And I understand. We're now in a
24:34
Speaker 2: society where you can't walk around outside without smelling it
24:38
Speaker 2: even five feet from your house. It is absolutely everywhere,
24:43
Speaker 2: and it's everywhere all the time. Now obviously I don't
24:47
Speaker 2: even know if it's depending on where you live. It
24:49
Speaker 2: seems like it's constantly everywhere. But yes, we need to
24:52
Speaker 2: take a minute to actually digest some of this information
24:56
Speaker 2: before we just continue to go.
24:59
Speaker 1: It's no big deal.
25:00
Speaker 2: It's natural. Take it out of the ground. So is
25:03
Speaker 2: that it on fire, breathe in the fumes. That's a
25:06
Speaker 2: perfectly normal thing for people to do.
25:10
Speaker 1: So.
25:11
Speaker 2: Rumors are swirling that Apple is reworking their Apple Vision
25:14
Speaker 2: pro headset to make it lighter and more affordable. The
25:18
Speaker 2: new version, which is currently called Vision Air, will feature
25:21
Speaker 2: titanium construction to reduce weight and will come with a
25:26
Speaker 2: sleek graphite dark blue color. But what's the price point?
25:30
Speaker 2: I guess everybody that needs to kne you're gonna tell
25:32
Speaker 2: me it's gonna be it's everybody needs to know. If
25:34
Speaker 2: people are gonna say it's they're trying to make it
25:37
Speaker 2: more affordable. Let's get to that point. I don't care
25:40
Speaker 2: if it's lighter, I don't care what color it is.
25:42
Speaker 2: Just tell me if it's more affordable with all these things,
25:45
Speaker 2: all right, that'll do it for this Thursday edition of
25:47
Speaker 2: the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
