Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the best of Hudson Valley this Morning
with Ed Kowalski for the week that just concluded. Uncle Mike,
did you know shrimp can run on a treadmill? Wait
what I said? Shrimp can run on a treadmill. If
you haven't heard this show, stick around, listen to it.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Now, what's next? They're gonna be riding bicycles?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Maybe they will be if the government pays for the study,
the real Algorim, the real Alchorne. That's exactly right. Elon
Musk is bringing into the federal government the way a
businessman is looking at the way agencies or departments in
(00:36):
his or her own company should be running or should
should not be running. And that's what he's doing. And
that's a paradigm shift, folks, in terms of the way
Foggy Bottom Washington, DC works.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
While I applaud cutting out the waste, which should have
been done for the last fifty years, and it hasn't been.
So that's a good more. I have to admit there
are some times here Aylon must makes me a little nervous.
I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I don't disagree with you. I don't disagree with you,
and you know, and you know, you know what I
find incredible is the the when when he puts things out,
you know, on his on the X platform formerly Twitter,
when he says, you know, the USA I D. It's
time for that agency to die. You know, it's like
you you know, when you start using words like that,
(01:28):
it's almost like waving a flag in front of a bowl.
And because people then people jump on to that. It's like,
oh my god, look at all those people that are
going to lose this job, their jobs, Look at all
of the individuals, look at what the agency does, and
then you dig into what US A I D has done.
Jesse Vasquez is JV L and d C. His YouTube
(01:49):
channel is a very very good channel and it's a
terrific team. I mean, he's very very, very funny, and
he's very knowledgeable, as our listeners have come to know.
He's doing a video now on US A I D
to specific we talk about some of the things that
they've done. I mean, six million dollars was given to
a South African organization specific to support men having sex
(02:11):
with each other down there. I Mean, I know that
sounds crazy, but that's literally some of the things that
some of the grant money that's that's been that's been
pro offered by this agency.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know, it's interesting talking about Elon Musk. I think
what we're seeing is, you know, Trump won his first
term as president. I think there was a big disconnect.
He came from being a businessman and functioning the way
a businessman does, especially in a real estate development business,
to having to function within the parameters of government. And
(02:43):
I think Musk is finding the same thing. Musk is
used to being able to sit in a boardroom and
look at a division of his company and say that's
that division has to die. He can say that in
the boardroom when it's his company, but he hasn't learned
that the crossover to functioning within the parameters of a government.
I think that's the problem with a lot of this.
(03:04):
I'm a little nervous. There seems to be a I'm
a little nervous about jd.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
He's very very quiet.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Are you a little nervous, Mike, I'm a little nervous, Mike.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Ian I am. I'm very apprehensive about jd.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You know, we forget he's only forty years old, and yeah,
he's got an interesting background, but you know, the other
thing we have to start thinking about, is he is
the next president if something happens to Donald Trump. And sadly,
I think, you know, I don't think I want to
(03:40):
be riding in the car with Donald Trump at this point.
I mean, he's there's a lot of people that want
to see him disappear, a lot of bad people. So
you got to keep that in mind when I when
I say j d vance, why I say I'm nervous
is I'd like to see a little bit more about
him and from him, because he very well could be
president soon if s good forbid, something happens and he
(04:00):
is I'm sure he is, you know, slated to be
the candidate in twenty twenty eight. So we need to
see him step up a little bit. And I know
that's hard with Donald Trump as president.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
But but you know, Mike, again, I come back to
something I said yesterday. I came I come back to
something I said this morning. This is the seventeenth day
of the administration. Yeah, this is the seventeenth.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And it's the rockets rocket ship. We thought it was
going to be.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You're right, and and you know, I mean I hear
what you're saying, and and there generally appears to be
I like JD. Vans, I like I like, I like
it so what I know of him so far. I
like the background that that that he brings to the position.
I like, I like uh. I like the guy, and.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
He very well may be doing his job very well
for all we know, and and and for whatever. And
you know, I just I think that's the big disconnect
with a lot of people is both Trump and and
uh Elon Musk were never politicians. And I think we've
come to a certain way of expecting how our politicians
act and what they say, and these two guys broke
(05:06):
them all. These two guys say what they want when
they want, and you know, they don't they don't mince
any words. And I guess that's maybe the way things
have to be now, because we've gone so far off
the course here, the train is so far off the tracks.
To bring it back, it's going to take some pretty
uncomfortable situations. I guess is the best word.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I guess. The question I have is it wrong for
the American people to demand that agencies like us AI
D be held accountable interest of course, of course, as somebody,
as Marco Rubio said this is taxpayers money. I agree
with that that that is going out there. And to
your point earlier on when you and I were sort
(05:47):
of debating the whole issue about the gaza thing. We're
conversing about the gaza thing, Gaza lagos as Jesse Waters
called it last night at his show. You know, you're
looking had a situation where h as Marco Rubio said,
you know, this is we we we absolutely have to
(06:07):
demand that kind of accountability to be able to say
where's this money going. And for people like elon uh
A Congresswoman Elon Omar from Minnesota, you know when she goes, well,
you know what what folks don't understand that all of
that funding for us ai for through the USA i
D organization, it's it's less than one percent of our budget.
(06:30):
But but yeah, but the bottom line of it is
it's it's our tax payer's money. And when you look
at some of the things, which is why I'm very
interested in being able to see to see Jesse Vasquez's
breakout of of of on his next YouTube video to
talk about ai D. You know, we're looking at that,
(06:50):
at being able to see some of the things that
they ended up doing, which is just one point five
million dollars to advanced DEI initiatives in Serb in workplaces,
seventy thousand dollars for the production of a DEI musical
in Ireland, forty seven thousand dollars for the production of
a trans opera, you know, transgender opera in Ukraine. It's like,
(07:15):
what are we doing here? It's the same kinds of
studies might that we've told it and it's so easy
to see the absurdity in these things. You know, Health
in Human Services funding scientific study to see to see
how quickly shrimp can run on a treadmill. It's like,
what are we doing? Trimp don't have any legs, so
they do they have, they have, they have whatever they're called.
(07:37):
And I took a zoology in college. It'll come to
America run shrimp can Well, that's why I guess we
needed to fund that study. Yes they can run, really, Yes,
I learned something there. You go there and I'll never
use again. But but yet yet our government funded it
to be able to study how fast they can run.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But to your point, what Olmar said, she's very clever,
so she's saying it's only one percent, But what's the number,
what's the what's their budget? Sixty seven? What was the
budget for us a ID it was.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It was I think sixty six billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So when you say it's only one percent, it's not
a big deal. But when you say it's sixty six billion,
it is a big.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But you know what it is though, Mike, to your
point you said this before. People have no grasp as
to what big that number is, as to what the
size of our deficit is. You know, if you're thty
four trillion exactly you. People have no understanding when when stuffs,
when stuffs, when stuff starts getting up into that many
decimal places, right, They have no understanding how many commas
and how many zeros after after a number.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And the people behind all this have gotten very good
at throwing those making people not understand what those numbers
are so they can throw them around like that. So
she's very clever. It's only one percent. What's the big deal.
It's like when and when Jay Vance was doing the
interview and the reporters saying, well, it's only one apartment complex,
what's the big deal? And then he said there.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Did you hear yourself? Yeah, same thing with her, did
you did you hear yourself. You know we're gonna come
back and talk a little bit about this in terms
of the list of us AID expenses, because when when
you put it out there and just talk about it
in the manner and we're talking about it, it's insane.
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Uncle
Mike and I are in studio eight four five four
seven one nine five four seven. If you want to
(09:17):
weigh in on anything, and if you want to if
you want to learn how fast shrimp can run on
a treadmill, give us a call. We'll get that research
done for you. You're listening to Hudson Valley this morning
with that kuoscar. We'll be right back. Thank you for listening. Folks. Hey,
I wanted to just again in the in the interests
of being thorough, because we try to be able to
(09:38):
present a thorough analysis of the issues, and we had
a little bit of fun with the shrimp treadmill story.
And I still I'm still absolutely convinced that the Hudson
Valley shrimp, Hudson River shrimp through the Hudson Valley are
going to absolutely be the fastest shrimp in America. There's
(10:02):
no question in my mind about that. But that being said,
I want you to know that over the past several years,
the funding for this particular study or studies specific to
shrimp running on a treadmill is over three million dollars
and the the the grand tour is the National Science Foundation.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, that seems like a good investment.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Follow the science, as doctor Fauci would say, follow the science,
and ultimately really in the purpose of the shrimp study, Okay,
all in all honesty, was the study whether or not
shrimp who are sick have less mobility and therefore are
more likely to be eaten by other other marine animals
(10:47):
or caught because they they they they're their mobility is.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So you're saying, what shrimps that were eating or not
the fastest.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That's a good question. I don't necessarily know. I mean,
the theory that there was being tested is whether or
not shrimp w hooper apps maybe are ill, you know,
for whatever reason. You know, they might have had COVID
or something that's worse.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
And you're saying we're eating we're eating a six shrimp.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that the study
with theory I'm saying that, well, that's a little bit
of the theory. That the theory was that, you know, listen,
are slower shrimp slower because they're sick, and as a
result of that, are they less are they more likely
to be eaten? In the The scientists who actually put
together this particular study for the n and National Science
(11:29):
Foundation indicated that this is really a matter of life
or death, you know, for the shrimp's perspective. So I guess,
I guess, I guess it is, and I guess if
I was a shrimp, I would be I would be
happy that there is that that that there's a government
agency study.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Don't have to have vaccines for shrimp.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
That we should really get doctor Fauci's. Doctor Fauci's got
all the time in the world now that he's been pardoned,
So we should really know he is teaching at Georgetown, Yes,
he is teaching. Frightening he is, Well, he's a Jesuit
educated guy himself, you know, I mean, you know, so
so Georgetown at one point in time profess to be
a Jesuit institution. I'm not quite certainly they still are.
(12:05):
But that being said, we should really get him in
in terms of to follow the science. Follow the science, Senator.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But you know the point of all this said, and
we're having some fun with it, but everybody was going
after Elon Musk for saying this this agency needs to die,
which he should he should have phrased it differently. But
the point is, this is taxpayer money that's being spent
on some of this crazy stufy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And you know what it boils down to, Mike, And
the serious point that I want to be able to
make is that the theory in Washington for so long
has been that if you throw enough money at a problem,
you can solve all of our nation's problems. But what's
happening right now is and if you disagree, let me know,
but what's happening right now is when Congress commits the
(12:52):
nation to significant increases in spending on some of the
things that we just spoke about, Congress and our elected
officials owe it to us taxpayers to pay careful attention
to how these dollars are being spent. That that, to
me is a very simple, straightforward position.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Sure, and on a local basis, ed where it comes
down to is are are you know we heard from
from Will Prouit.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And Ryan travel Peace and Tony Tony Daquani that.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Of the county budget is state mandated. Yes, So if
you take it to the next level, these state budgets
have federal mandates that they have to follow. And what
we're talking about is we're competing for these dollars as taxpayers.
You know, you're investing your money through your taxes and
you're hoping it's being distributed in a way that's helping
(13:45):
the whole country and first of all, helping the country itself.
None of this money you're talking about is helping this
country in any way, shape or form. Spending fifty million
dollars on condoms for I don't know where it was
with Jaza Gaza, that's not helping this country soon to be.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Known as Gaza Lago. I hope, let's hope not.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I pray, get pray to God that doesn't happen, but
it could be. But still the point of this whole
story is is it does affect us right here because
these are dollars that are needed that our county executive
and her entire government would like to have access to
to help the county here, and this is what it's
being spent on instead of us. That's the way you've
got to look at it. But we're competing for these
(14:25):
funds all the time. Sure, and if it's being wasted,
and I don't care who you are out there, what
side of the aisle you sit on, if you can
listen to any of this and think it's a good
a good investment, any of this stuff we're talking about.
I mean, are you you're happy about spending fifty million
dollars on condoms for Gaza?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Really?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think maybe you want to reevaluate that. Or you're
happy about a study to find out how fast shrimp
can run on a treadmill. That's not even a Saturday
night live bit you could pull off. You wouldn't believe
it was real. No, that's actually true.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That that is, that is absolutely and and a listener
just actually weighed in to say that I'm wrong about
Hudson Valley shrimp being the fastest river shrimp. Bubba Gump shrimp,
Bubba Gump shrimp are the fastest shrimp from Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We stay corrected.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I tell you, I cannot wait for the shrimp off
to get this whole thing, to get this thing all decided.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I think this, of course, in the in between the segments.
Here when you and I were bantering about and here
you you pointed out that the breaded shrimp is for
colder climates. They run in colder climates. So there's a
whole apvenue we could probably do a whole show on.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
And cocktail sauce is actually, although I could be, to
be very honest with you, I think the Olympic Committee
has banned the use of cocktail source because it's a stimulant.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, I think he rubbed little cocktail sauce on me.
I'd run a lot faster. Somebody asked me once how
fast I can run, and my answer is it depends
chasing I.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Get the cocktail sauce album. I want to I want
to slather on Uncle Mike and see how fast I
can run up and down the island.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That was a little creepy. So somebody asked me once
how fast I could run. My answer always is it
just depends on who's chasing me how fast I can run.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
But seriously, the reason we went off on this tangent
and it was thought. I think it was a humorous chance,
and I hope you did too, listening. But the point
is is we are competing for these tax dollars here locally.
At some point it does come down to that. And
if if sixty six billion dollars is being wasted on
all this, it's sixty six billion that's not going to
(16:26):
other things here in this country that need we need
help with. Think about that for a second. The waste
involved there, and this is just one agency. I don't
think there's an agency in the government that has not
got some wasteful spending.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And also when you think about it, the the and
we've had a lot of conversation over the over the
past several shows, and certainly since we've been behind the
microphone here to talk about the National Science Foundation, primarily
all dictated about to doctor Fauci. But if you look
at the mandate of what the what the NSF was
founded on, the NSF was founded by Congress nineteen fifty
(17:01):
to quote, promote the progress of science, to advance the
national health, prosperity and welfare, as well as to secure
the nation's defense. And the shrimp study falls under the
under those auspices.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And here's the frightening part of that. So seventy five
years of this has been going out. Founded in nineteen
fifty that's seventy five years ago. So this has been
going on. So take that number of sixty billion, and
maybe it was less back then, but no.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
No, no, no, hang up for a month. Second, remember
talk about the the NSF. The NSF budget is seven
point five billion. The AID budget is I think sixty
six billion.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, so how long is that? How long has AID been.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
In nineteen sixty one? Okay, so my lifetime. I was
born in sixty founded founded by President Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
So I was born in sixty one. So for my
entire lifetime, they've been spending this money recklessly all over
the world. And think about think about what that total
probably is.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Again, here's the other issue too. Just getting back to
the shrimp study, folks, I want to be serious for
half a second, because the NSF has absolutely again again again,
another listener saying, ed, bubba grump, bubba gump shrimp are
the fastest in the country. So so I listen, I
think the battle lines have been drawn. But but but
but but listen to this, Listen to this. The NSF
(18:22):
has basically put forth the position that all of the studies,
including the shrimp study have advanced the frontiers of science
and engineering, have improved American lives, and provided the foundations
for countless new industries and jobs. And I have to
tell you something, Mike, even what you and I spoke about,
we came up with like six or seven different new
industries that shrimp, that that shrimp on a treadmill can do.
(18:45):
The Nike sneaker sponsorship, did you hear the little the
little jerseys that we should be putting out there? I mean,
come on, did you hear yourself? What did I say?
I want to be serious for a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I do.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
But that's that's literally what the the NSF has basically
said that these studies improve Americans live and lives and
provide the foundation for countless new industries and jobs. And
and here's how would you get the little Nike sneakers
on the shrimp though? That's a that's an issue that
we need laces or velcro. They're gonna have to be velcrow.
I think so, yeah, velcro? Right, Jeff, you think you're welcome?
(19:17):
He had Jeff is saying velcro. It just it has
to be vel krouk. We've all lost our minds here
I'm serious. I mean what I mean we're doing to
say this. Listen, Mike, I think the best of a
show this weekend is going to have to be on
the Shrimp Studies. We're gonna have to get this out
there and put this it. It's listen. I think we
have a mandate here to be able to just continue
to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But the seriousness of this d when it comes down
to us. So we're talking about Fauci, his name.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh the science.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Well, so he lied about gang of gain of function.
He was he was he was sidestepping the rules and
and funding gain of function again with taxpayer dollars, and
and now it seems to be pretty prevalent that COVID
originated in the lab that you bought me a T
shirt for, Yes, So think about how this all comes
(20:04):
back to how serious this is. Because they were using
taxpayer money to do that they were told not to
use for that purpose, and then it ended up being
a laboratory that caused a worldwide epidemic.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And then the cover up, and then the cover.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Up, which we all know Richard Nixon got in trouble.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
For cover up. It's always worse than the crime. Let's
take a quick break and let's continue to talk about this.
But but, but we had a lot of fun with
the shrimp stuff, folks.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But if you'd like, if you'd like to weigh in
on the fastest shrimp in the world, we'd like to
know what you think exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
We'd be more than happy to take your thoughts, comments,
and opinions on the shrimp on the shrimp Olympics. Oh
dear lord, there you go. You're listening the news radio
fourteen fifty thirteen seventy AM ninety eight five FMWKIP at
Kowalsky and uncle might be right back from news radio
fourteen fifty thirteen seventy at ninety eight five WKIP mad
on Send Valley this morning with Ed Kowalski. You just
(21:00):
did a a weather check. What's going on out there?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, use the scientific equipment. I stuck my hand outside
and there's a myst coming down, which is worse than snow,
I think at this point, because it's probably gonna be icy.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Do you mean that you haven't gotten your NSF grant
in terms of being able to set the did you
apply how much did you apply for?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Seventy two million? Seemed like a reasonable number. I'm sure, Hey,
this just didn't Mattel has gotten the contract to make
the sneakers for the.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Shrimp Mattel or Nike.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
No, Mattel really, and they actually are going to incorporate
it with the Barbie you know, Barbie Dolls, and they
have a new clothing line coming out called Shrimp on
the Barbie.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Throw another Shrimp on the Barbie. There you go. Oh
my god, there you go. Throw another shrimp on the Barbie.
Don't quit it days up, do not wait. Listen, listen, listen, guys,
you know this is an important thing.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'm glad they told me that brain damage would be
a deficit.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I'm glad that we were able to bring this to
people's attention. I'm glad. I appreciate all of them. And
by the way, there's been a lot of listeners' comments
on the shrimp story, so I appreciate all of them
coming through. In just a couple of minutes up to
the eight o'clock hour, Mike, I'm going to be I'm
gonna be skedaddling. After the eight o'clock Auric, I'm gonna
get down to Jersey and I want to take it
a little bit easy in terms of getting down to
(22:17):
this weather. Uncle Mike is going to take over the microphone.
They have any questions or comments about anything you've heard before,
and give them a call. The four five four seven
one nine five four seven.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Actually at eight thirty five, Andrew O'Grady's going to be
joining me.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Wonderful.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I'm gonna have a little discussion about my brain damage,
some other people's mental well.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Well, I'm going to be interested in seeing what Andrew
thinks on this whole shrimp thing. Yeah, you know, I
mean shrimp. Shrimp. Mental health is a very important factor
in a whole nother avenue. It's a whole other story.
He's putting together a grant right now, and it's a
serious part of their training too. We'll talk about that.
You're listening to news radio fourteen fifty thirteen seventy AMWKFP
ninety eight point five FM wk IP. Will be right back, folks.
(23:00):
Wow Friday.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What a song that is a country anthem playing right there?
Fire on the Mountain, Marshall Tucker Van one of my
favorite songs, Darius Rucker writes it wrote a song about
playing the song. Really yeah. Darius Ruckers hoodie, formerly an artist,
fully known as Hoody.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Is an interesting interesting he's had. He's had a rough life.
He's had a very interesting life. But I got to
tell you something.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean, he's had a rough life.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
He's had some personal issues, you know, you know coming
he's living large, though he is living large. And I say,
he's very talented. You know, it's interesting. I saw him
live at Madison Square, Gordon, Yes, and I had terrific
seats And there was a woman sitting in like the
first tier above the stage, and Hoody noticed that she
(23:48):
was wearing a Clemson football hat. Oh boy, and he's
a University of South Carolina guy. Twenty five minutes of
just take that hat off. And she was not really
they were they were they were having a fight while
he was performing on stage. It was good natured. I mean,
(24:09):
it didn't get ugly. I mean, the guitars weren't being
thrown or drinks being thrown or anything along those lines.
But you got to be careful about when you're around
Hoody wearing a Clemson football hat. He's a very talented golfer.
He plays a lot of golf, is he really no kidding?
A lot of country musicians are great, good he loves
South Carolina. He loves that state, and he's a terrific
(24:29):
performer and.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Very charitable, very charitable human being. He does a lot
for charity.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
You know my favorite song now I want to Jeff,
have you ever heard Darius Rucker sing a song called
I Sang Phenomenal. It's a phenomenal tune. Phenomenal tune. So anyway,
uncle Mike, you know one of the things.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So February we're talking about all the things going on.
Tuesday the tent is bring your shrimp to Planet Fitness Day.
It's finet Fitness has a promotion going down to bring
your shrimp in a run on a treadmill. So this Tuesday,
the tenth is bring your shrimp well a gym day.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Well, And as we spoke about it yesterday, we were
able to ascertain through the generosity of the federal government
through a NHS grant National Health and Human Services Grant,
we ascertained and reported to all our listeners that yes,
we have studied the fact that shrimp can run on treadmills.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, you know, I have this vision of people walking
their shrimp. You imagine that with a leash and a
little little harness on them and taking up for a walk.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
See.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I like free range shrimp.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I I.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Like the idea of of not harnessing a shrimp. I mean,
I let them run wild because let's face it, that's
the way God made them.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So based on what you were telling me, the studies
that they came up with is that it's the sick
shrimp are the ones that get caught because they're not
fast enough.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And that means we're eating the sick shrimp and and.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
The healthy ones. I wonder if we've ever had a
healthy shrimp.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
That's a really good question. Too fast? You know, it's interesting.
Why don't we do? I don't know, but I think
when we go into Adams. I love being able to
shop for my seafood at Adams. I'd like to go
in and say, no, no, no, no no, I want the healthy shrimp,
not the ones that you're selling over here. I want
the ones that you can certify or healthy. That's our
next broadcast. I have a shrimp race at Adams. How
(26:20):
fast the frozen shrimp can run? Probably not very fast. Yeah,
that's a really the possibilities are endless on this bring.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Your shrimp to the gym day, and.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
It's all because of the science. The science three million
dollars for the federal government is too It just like.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
We should show up at play the fitness of my
Cartaga's place and say we have our where we need
to exercise our shrimp today. If you've got to, if
you've got a treadmill force.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You have a discountant rate for myself to bring a
shrimp in. You know, I want my shrimp to join,
to join Artagas.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And I will, you know. The precursor to telling him
that is like, look, the sheriff is my friend. They'll
be calling the police on its It's is serious. The
shrimp can actually run on a treadmill, you know, so
we have government veryification that they can run.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You don't have to tell you something, you know. And
when when we were talking to to to Sheriff Kirk yesterday,
which is always a fun interview to have with him,
and he's a terrific, terrific law enforcement officer, and we
talked about the specialty units. We talked about the canine
unit and all the the the the aerial drone unit.
What about a shrimp unit.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, got a police to shrimp in the river.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well, I mean exactly I mean the shrimp could actually
be undercover river agents being able to see what's going
on in that in that in the wild fish community.
I bet your sheriff is I bet you the sheriff's
listening to this goes. That's a really good idea. It
might be difficult getting the value.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
This morning with ed Kuski is officially off the rails.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I wish I was we have somebody here. Who is it,
Jeff Tom, I'm back and Kill. Hey Tom from Spack
and Kill. How are you?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I'm fine, I can't verify that you and I'll go
bike this morning are mentally fick.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You've heard it her, You've heard of here live folks.
That's exactly correct.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I was gonna say your program is going to the dogs,
but actually your program is going to the strip.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yes, yes, he's sting afraid of insanity. I embrace it now.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Well, I think that might be one of your better
talents too. By the way, that's why you're on the radio.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Hey Tom, Tom, listen to me, and I'm going to
put you on the spot for a minute. You're gonna
have to admit to us and for all our listeners
who are listening right now. The next time you have
a shrimp, you're going to be thinking of this, of
this segment, I hope not.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
To have ship into their future. I'm gonna switch to sabon.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Okay, right, there's probably something that they probably have tests
with salmon too.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Look, I mean, look at what salmon are cyclists. They're
riding bicycles. Now, look at what Gavin Newsom did in
California in terms of shutting down and blowing up those
damns because he didn't want to interfere with the salmon
populations all over there.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He's a genius.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
All the smelt the smelt.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
No, no, smelts were another issue. Salmon were another issue.
So from that, from that perspective, a genie.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
So I'm really I'm really upset that he didn't get
to the White House. What a country you'd have.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
By the way, a lot of people don't remember that
he was recalled. I mean, the California voters recalled him.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
They don't have that provision in the New York State.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I don't think a recall factor. I don't, you know,
that's a good question. I don't know if we do
or don't, that's you know, I will look that up.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Eight million Democrats in New York City. It wouldn't matter
anyway because it's not going to work.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
But anyway, where's Wisconsin might but recall and referendum. We
don't have that provision in the New York State Constitution.
If we did, we should have exercised it a long
time ago.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yes, well, you know again, you know we we we
range from being able to talk about the silly too serious,
and you know, what's going on in New York State
is is deadly serious. There's really not a lot to
laugh about, you know, in terms of what's going on.
And I wanted to why I have you on on
air and the well, actually, you know what I'm gonna
let you do. Tom. We're up against the heartbreak, let
(29:55):
me drop, let me let me just got to it
was okay. You know, there's a there's an interesting race
going on next Tuesday in Westchester County whereby the woman
by the name of Christine.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Sculti for the county executive position, the.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
County executive position that George Latimer vacated when he was
elected to Congress. Sculpti was the county's or is the
county's deputy election commissioner. She served as a chief advisor
to former County execu Rob Astonno and she was the
Mid Hudson Regional Director of Economic Development. She built a
family business down there, and she's running against Latimer's deputy
(30:37):
county executive, a guy named Jenkins.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
West Chester County does not treat Republicans very well.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
But but listen to what her positions are. Her positions are.
She wants to kill congestion pricing, she wants to be
able to repeal Westchester's sanctuary laws, which restrict county employees
from working with federal immigration authorities, and her opponent, Jenkins'
bank sanctuary policies in Westchester County, claiming that they actually
(31:10):
boost public safety. That election is happening next Tuesday. We're
certainly going to be following that one. Tom, Thank you much.
I'll thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Sure, we'd love it if you tuned in to Hudson
Valley This Morning with Ed Kowalski from six to nine
am Monday through Friday on fourteen fifty thirteen seventy AM
or ninety eight five FM WKIP
You're listening to the best of Hudson Valley this Morning
with Ed Kowalski for the week that just concluded. Uncle Mike,
did you know shrimp can run on a treadmill? Wait
what I said? Shrimp can run on a treadmill. If
you haven't heard this show, stick around, listen to it.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Now, what's next? They're gonna be riding bicycles?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Maybe they will be if the government pays for the study,
the real Algorim, the real Alchorne. That's exactly right. Elon
Musk is bringing into the federal government the way a
businessman is looking at the way agencies or departments in
(00:36):
his or her own company should be running or should
should not be running. And that's what he's doing. And
that's a paradigm shift, folks, in terms of the way
Foggy Bottom Washington, DC works.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
While I applaud cutting out the waste, which should have
been done for the last fifty years, and it hasn't been.
So that's a good more. I have to admit there
are some times here Aylon must makes me a little nervous.
I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I don't disagree with you. I don't disagree with you,
and you know, and you know, you know what I
find incredible is the the when when he puts things out,
you know, on his on the X platform formerly Twitter,
when he says, you know, the USA I D. It's
time for that agency to die. You know, it's like
you you know, when you start using words like that,
(01:28):
it's almost like waving a flag in front of a bowl.
And because people then people jump on to that. It's like,
oh my god, look at all those people that are
going to lose this job, their jobs, Look at all
of the individuals, look at what the agency does, and
then you dig into what US A I D has done.
Jesse Vasquez is JV L and d C. His YouTube
(01:49):
channel is a very very good channel and it's a
terrific team. I mean, he's very very, very funny, and
he's very knowledgeable, as our listeners have come to know.
He's doing a video now on US A I D
to specific we talk about some of the things that
they've done. I mean, six million dollars was given to
a South African organization specific to support men having sex
(02:11):
with each other down there. I Mean, I know that
sounds crazy, but that's literally some of the things that
some of the grant money that's that's been that's been
pro offered by this agency.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know, it's interesting talking about Elon Musk. I think
what we're seeing is, you know, Trump won his first
term as president. I think there was a big disconnect.
He came from being a businessman and functioning the way
a businessman does, especially in a real estate development business,
to having to function within the parameters of government. And
(02:43):
I think Musk is finding the same thing. Musk is
used to being able to sit in a boardroom and
look at a division of his company and say that's
that division has to die. He can say that in
the boardroom when it's his company, but he hasn't learned
that the crossover to functioning within the parameters of a government.
I think that's the problem with a lot of this.
(03:04):
I'm a little nervous. There seems to be a I'm
a little nervous about jd.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
He's very very quiet.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Are you a little nervous, Mike, I'm a little nervous, Mike.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Ian I am. I'm very apprehensive about jd.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You know, we forget he's only forty years old, and yeah,
he's got an interesting background, but you know, the other
thing we have to start thinking about, is he is
the next president if something happens to Donald Trump. And sadly,
I think, you know, I don't think I want to
(03:40):
be riding in the car with Donald Trump at this point.
I mean, he's there's a lot of people that want
to see him disappear, a lot of bad people. So
you got to keep that in mind when I when
I say j d vance, why I say I'm nervous
is I'd like to see a little bit more about
him and from him, because he very well could be
president soon if s good forbid, something happens and he
(04:00):
is I'm sure he is, you know, slated to be
the candidate in twenty twenty eight. So we need to
see him step up a little bit. And I know
that's hard with Donald Trump as president.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
But but you know, Mike, again, I come back to
something I said yesterday. I came I come back to
something I said this morning. This is the seventeenth day
of the administration. Yeah, this is the seventeenth.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And it's the rockets rocket ship. We thought it was
going to be.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You're right, and and you know, I mean I hear
what you're saying, and and there generally appears to be
I like JD. Vans, I like I like, I like
it so what I know of him so far. I
like the background that that that he brings to the position.
I like, I like uh. I like the guy, and.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
He very well may be doing his job very well
for all we know, and and and for whatever. And
you know, I just I think that's the big disconnect
with a lot of people is both Trump and and
uh Elon Musk were never politicians. And I think we've
come to a certain way of expecting how our politicians
act and what they say, and these two guys broke
(05:06):
them all. These two guys say what they want when
they want, and you know, they don't they don't mince
any words. And I guess that's maybe the way things
have to be now, because we've gone so far off
the course here, the train is so far off the tracks.
To bring it back, it's going to take some pretty
uncomfortable situations. I guess is the best word.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I guess. The question I have is it wrong for
the American people to demand that agencies like us AI
D be held accountable interest of course, of course, as somebody,
as Marco Rubio said this is taxpayers money. I agree
with that that that is going out there. And to
your point earlier on when you and I were sort
(05:47):
of debating the whole issue about the gaza thing. We're
conversing about the gaza thing, Gaza lagos as Jesse Waters
called it last night at his show. You know, you're
looking had a situation where h as Marco Rubio said,
you know, this is we we we absolutely have to
(06:07):
demand that kind of accountability to be able to say
where's this money going. And for people like elon uh
A Congresswoman Elon Omar from Minnesota, you know when she goes, well,
you know what what folks don't understand that all of
that funding for us ai for through the USA i
D organization, it's it's less than one percent of our budget.
(06:30):
But but yeah, but the bottom line of it is
it's it's our tax payer's money. And when you look
at some of the things, which is why I'm very
interested in being able to see to see Jesse Vasquez's
breakout of of of on his next YouTube video to
talk about ai D. You know, we're looking at that,
(06:50):
at being able to see some of the things that
they ended up doing, which is just one point five
million dollars to advanced DEI initiatives in Serb in workplaces,
seventy thousand dollars for the production of a DEI musical
in Ireland, forty seven thousand dollars for the production of
a trans opera, you know, transgender opera in Ukraine. It's like,
(07:15):
what are we doing here? It's the same kinds of
studies might that we've told it and it's so easy
to see the absurdity in these things. You know, Health
in Human Services funding scientific study to see to see
how quickly shrimp can run on a treadmill. It's like,
what are we doing? Trimp don't have any legs, so
they do they have, they have, they have whatever they're called.
(07:37):
And I took a zoology in college. It'll come to
America run shrimp can Well, that's why I guess we
needed to fund that study. Yes they can run, really, Yes,
I learned something there. You go there and I'll never
use again. But but yet yet our government funded it
to be able to study how fast they can run.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But to your point, what Olmar said, she's very clever,
so she's saying it's only one percent, But what's the number,
what's the what's their budget? Sixty seven? What was the
budget for us a ID it was.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It was I think sixty six billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So when you say it's only one percent, it's not
a big deal. But when you say it's sixty six billion,
it is a big.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But you know what it is though, Mike, to your
point you said this before. People have no grasp as
to what big that number is, as to what the
size of our deficit is. You know, if you're thty
four trillion exactly you. People have no understanding when when stuffs,
when stuffs, when stuff starts getting up into that many
decimal places, right, They have no understanding how many commas
and how many zeros after after a number.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And the people behind all this have gotten very good
at throwing those making people not understand what those numbers
are so they can throw them around like that. So
she's very clever. It's only one percent. What's the big deal.
It's like when and when Jay Vance was doing the
interview and the reporters saying, well, it's only one apartment complex,
what's the big deal? And then he said there.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Did you hear yourself? Yeah, same thing with her, did
you did you hear yourself. You know we're gonna come
back and talk a little bit about this in terms
of the list of us AID expenses, because when when
you put it out there and just talk about it
in the manner and we're talking about it, it's insane.
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Uncle
Mike and I are in studio eight four five four
seven one nine five four seven. If you want to
(09:17):
weigh in on anything, and if you want to if
you want to learn how fast shrimp can run on
a treadmill, give us a call. We'll get that research
done for you. You're listening to Hudson Valley this morning
with that kuoscar. We'll be right back. Thank you for listening. Folks. Hey,
I wanted to just again in the in the interests
of being thorough, because we try to be able to
(09:38):
present a thorough analysis of the issues, and we had
a little bit of fun with the shrimp treadmill story.
And I still I'm still absolutely convinced that the Hudson
Valley shrimp, Hudson River shrimp through the Hudson Valley are
going to absolutely be the fastest shrimp in America. There's
(10:02):
no question in my mind about that. But that being said,
I want you to know that over the past several years,
the funding for this particular study or studies specific to
shrimp running on a treadmill is over three million dollars
and the the the grand tour is the National Science Foundation.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, that seems like a good investment.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Follow the science, as doctor Fauci would say, follow the science,
and ultimately really in the purpose of the shrimp study, Okay,
all in all honesty, was the study whether or not
shrimp who are sick have less mobility and therefore are
more likely to be eaten by other other marine animals
(10:47):
or caught because they they they they're their mobility is.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So you're saying, what shrimps that were eating or not
the fastest.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That's a good question. I don't necessarily know. I mean,
the theory that there was being tested is whether or
not shrimp w hooper apps maybe are ill, you know,
for whatever reason. You know, they might have had COVID
or something that's worse.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
And you're saying we're eating we're eating a six shrimp.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that the study
with theory I'm saying that, well, that's a little bit
of the theory. That the theory was that, you know, listen,
are slower shrimp slower because they're sick, and as a
result of that, are they less are they more likely
to be eaten? In the The scientists who actually put
together this particular study for the n and National Science
(11:29):
Foundation indicated that this is really a matter of life
or death, you know, for the shrimp's perspective. So I guess,
I guess, I guess it is, and I guess if
I was a shrimp, I would be I would be
happy that there is that that that there's a government
agency study.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Don't have to have vaccines for shrimp.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
That we should really get doctor Fauci's. Doctor Fauci's got
all the time in the world now that he's been pardoned,
So we should really know he is teaching at Georgetown, Yes,
he is teaching. Frightening he is, Well, he's a Jesuit
educated guy himself, you know, I mean, you know, so
so Georgetown at one point in time profess to be
a Jesuit institution. I'm not quite certainly they still are.
(12:05):
But that being said, we should really get him in
in terms of to follow the science. Follow the science, Senator.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But you know the point of all this said, and
we're having some fun with it, but everybody was going
after Elon Musk for saying this this agency needs to die,
which he should he should have phrased it differently. But
the point is, this is taxpayer money that's being spent
on some of this crazy stufy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And you know what it boils down to, Mike, And
the serious point that I want to be able to
make is that the theory in Washington for so long
has been that if you throw enough money at a problem,
you can solve all of our nation's problems. But what's
happening right now is and if you disagree, let me know,
but what's happening right now is when Congress commits the
(12:52):
nation to significant increases in spending on some of the
things that we just spoke about, Congress and our elected
officials owe it to us taxpayers to pay careful attention
to how these dollars are being spent. That that, to
me is a very simple, straightforward position.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Sure, and on a local basis, ed where it comes
down to is are are you know we heard from
from Will Prouit.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And Ryan travel Peace and Tony Tony Daquani that.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Of the county budget is state mandated. Yes, So if
you take it to the next level, these state budgets
have federal mandates that they have to follow. And what
we're talking about is we're competing for these dollars as taxpayers.
You know, you're investing your money through your taxes and
you're hoping it's being distributed in a way that's helping
(13:45):
the whole country and first of all, helping the country itself.
None of this money you're talking about is helping this
country in any way, shape or form. Spending fifty million
dollars on condoms for I don't know where it was
with Jaza Gaza, that's not helping this country soon to be.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Known as Gaza Lago. I hope, let's hope not.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I pray, get pray to God that doesn't happen, but
it could be. But still the point of this whole
story is is it does affect us right here because
these are dollars that are needed that our county executive
and her entire government would like to have access to
to help the county here, and this is what it's
being spent on instead of us. That's the way you've
got to look at it. But we're competing for these
(14:25):
funds all the time. Sure, and if it's being wasted,
and I don't care who you are out there, what
side of the aisle you sit on, if you can
listen to any of this and think it's a good
a good investment, any of this stuff we're talking about.
I mean, are you you're happy about spending fifty million
dollars on condoms for Gaza?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Really?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think maybe you want to reevaluate that. Or you're
happy about a study to find out how fast shrimp
can run on a treadmill. That's not even a Saturday
night live bit you could pull off. You wouldn't believe
it was real. No, that's actually true.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That that is, that is absolutely and and a listener
just actually weighed in to say that I'm wrong about
Hudson Valley shrimp being the fastest river shrimp. Bubba Gump shrimp,
Bubba Gump shrimp are the fastest shrimp from Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We stay corrected.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I tell you, I cannot wait for the shrimp off
to get this whole thing, to get this thing all decided.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I think this, of course, in the in between the segments.
Here when you and I were bantering about and here
you you pointed out that the breaded shrimp is for
colder climates. They run in colder climates. So there's a
whole apvenue we could probably do a whole show on.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
And cocktail sauce is actually, although I could be, to
be very honest with you, I think the Olympic Committee
has banned the use of cocktail source because it's a stimulant.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, I think he rubbed little cocktail sauce on me.
I'd run a lot faster. Somebody asked me once how
fast I can run, and my answer is it depends
chasing I.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Get the cocktail sauce album. I want to I want
to slather on Uncle Mike and see how fast I
can run up and down the island.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That was a little creepy. So somebody asked me once
how fast I could run. My answer always is it
just depends on who's chasing me how fast I can run.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
But seriously, the reason we went off on this tangent
and it was thought. I think it was a humorous chance,
and I hope you did too, listening. But the point
is is we are competing for these tax dollars here locally.
At some point it does come down to that. And
if if sixty six billion dollars is being wasted on
all this, it's sixty six billion that's not going to
(16:26):
other things here in this country that need we need
help with. Think about that for a second. The waste
involved there, and this is just one agency. I don't
think there's an agency in the government that has not
got some wasteful spending.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And also when you think about it, the the and
we've had a lot of conversation over the over the
past several shows, and certainly since we've been behind the
microphone here to talk about the National Science Foundation, primarily
all dictated about to doctor Fauci. But if you look
at the mandate of what the what the NSF was
founded on, the NSF was founded by Congress nineteen fifty
(17:01):
to quote, promote the progress of science, to advance the
national health, prosperity and welfare, as well as to secure
the nation's defense. And the shrimp study falls under the
under those auspices.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And here's the frightening part of that. So seventy five
years of this has been going out. Founded in nineteen
fifty that's seventy five years ago. So this has been
going on. So take that number of sixty billion, and
maybe it was less back then, but no.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
No, no, no, hang up for a month. Second, remember
talk about the the NSF. The NSF budget is seven
point five billion. The AID budget is I think sixty
six billion.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, so how long is that? How long has AID been.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
In nineteen sixty one? Okay, so my lifetime. I was
born in sixty founded founded by President Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
So I was born in sixty one. So for my
entire lifetime, they've been spending this money recklessly all over
the world. And think about think about what that total
probably is.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Again, here's the other issue too. Just getting back to
the shrimp study, folks, I want to be serious for
half a second, because the NSF has absolutely again again again,
another listener saying, ed, bubba grump, bubba gump shrimp are
the fastest in the country. So so I listen, I
think the battle lines have been drawn. But but but
but but listen to this, Listen to this. The NSF
(18:22):
has basically put forth the position that all of the studies,
including the shrimp study have advanced the frontiers of science
and engineering, have improved American lives, and provided the foundations
for countless new industries and jobs. And I have to
tell you something, Mike, even what you and I spoke about,
we came up with like six or seven different new
industries that shrimp, that that shrimp on a treadmill can do.
(18:45):
The Nike sneaker sponsorship, did you hear the little the
little jerseys that we should be putting out there? I mean,
come on, did you hear yourself? What did I say?
I want to be serious for a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I do.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
But that's that's literally what the the NSF has basically
said that these studies improve Americans live and lives and
provide the foundation for countless new industries and jobs. And
and here's how would you get the little Nike sneakers
on the shrimp though? That's a that's an issue that
we need laces or velcro. They're gonna have to be velcrow.
I think so, yeah, velcro? Right, Jeff, you think you're welcome?
(19:17):
He had Jeff is saying velcro. It just it has
to be vel krouk. We've all lost our minds here
I'm serious. I mean what I mean we're doing to
say this. Listen, Mike, I think the best of a
show this weekend is going to have to be on
the Shrimp Studies. We're gonna have to get this out
there and put this it. It's listen. I think we
have a mandate here to be able to just continue
to talk about this.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But the seriousness of this d when it comes down
to us. So we're talking about Fauci, his name.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh the science.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Well, so he lied about gang of gain of function.
He was he was he was sidestepping the rules and
and funding gain of function again with taxpayer dollars, and
and now it seems to be pretty prevalent that COVID
originated in the lab that you bought me a T
shirt for, Yes, So think about how this all comes
(20:04):
back to how serious this is. Because they were using
taxpayer money to do that they were told not to
use for that purpose, and then it ended up being
a laboratory that caused a worldwide epidemic.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
And then the cover up, and then the cover.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Up, which we all know Richard Nixon got in trouble.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
For cover up. It's always worse than the crime. Let's
take a quick break and let's continue to talk about this.
But but, but we had a lot of fun with
the shrimp stuff, folks.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But if you'd like, if you'd like to weigh in
on the fastest shrimp in the world, we'd like to
know what you think exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
We'd be more than happy to take your thoughts, comments,
and opinions on the shrimp on the shrimp Olympics. Oh
dear lord, there you go. You're listening the news radio
fourteen fifty thirteen seventy AM ninety eight five FMWKIP at
Kowalsky and uncle might be right back from news radio
fourteen fifty thirteen seventy at ninety eight five WKIP mad
on Send Valley this morning with Ed Kowalski. You just
(21:00):
did a a weather check. What's going on out there?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, use the scientific equipment. I stuck my hand outside
and there's a myst coming down, which is worse than snow,
I think at this point, because it's probably gonna be icy.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Do you mean that you haven't gotten your NSF grant
in terms of being able to set the did you
apply how much did you apply for?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Seventy two million? Seemed like a reasonable number. I'm sure, Hey,
this just didn't Mattel has gotten the contract to make
the sneakers for the.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Shrimp Mattel or Nike.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
No, Mattel really, and they actually are going to incorporate
it with the Barbie you know, Barbie Dolls, and they
have a new clothing line coming out called Shrimp on
the Barbie.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Throw another Shrimp on the Barbie. There you go. Oh
my god, there you go. Throw another shrimp on the Barbie.
Don't quit it days up, do not wait. Listen, listen, listen, guys,
you know this is an important thing.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'm glad they told me that brain damage would be
a deficit.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I'm glad that we were able to bring this to
people's attention. I'm glad. I appreciate all of them. And
by the way, there's been a lot of listeners' comments
on the shrimp story, so I appreciate all of them
coming through. In just a couple of minutes up to
the eight o'clock hour, Mike, I'm going to be I'm
gonna be skedaddling. After the eight o'clock Auric, I'm gonna
get down to Jersey and I want to take it
a little bit easy in terms of getting down to
(22:17):
this weather. Uncle Mike is going to take over the microphone.
They have any questions or comments about anything you've heard before,
and give them a call. The four five four seven
one nine five four seven.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Actually at eight thirty five, Andrew O'Grady's going to be
joining me.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Wonderful.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I'm gonna have a little discussion about my brain damage,
some other people's mental well.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Well, I'm going to be interested in seeing what Andrew
thinks on this whole shrimp thing. Yeah, you know, I
mean shrimp. Shrimp. Mental health is a very important factor
in a whole nother avenue. It's a whole other story.
He's putting together a grant right now, and it's a
serious part of their training too. We'll talk about that.
You're listening to news radio fourteen fifty thirteen seventy AMWKFP
ninety eight point five FM wk IP. Will be right back, folks.
(23:00):
Wow Friday.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What a song that is a country anthem playing right there?
Fire on the Mountain, Marshall Tucker Van one of my
favorite songs, Darius Rucker writes it wrote a song about
playing the song. Really yeah. Darius Ruckers hoodie, formerly an artist,
fully known as Hoody.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Is an interesting interesting he's had. He's had a rough life.
He's had a very interesting life. But I got to
tell you something.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean, he's had a rough life.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
He's had some personal issues, you know, you know coming
he's living large, though he is living large. And I say,
he's very talented. You know, it's interesting. I saw him
live at Madison Square, Gordon, Yes, and I had terrific
seats And there was a woman sitting in like the
first tier above the stage, and Hoody noticed that she
(23:48):
was wearing a Clemson football hat. Oh boy, and he's
a University of South Carolina guy. Twenty five minutes of
just take that hat off. And she was not really
they were they were they were having a fight while
he was performing on stage. It was good natured. I mean,
(24:09):
it didn't get ugly. I mean, the guitars weren't being
thrown or drinks being thrown or anything along those lines.
But you got to be careful about when you're around
Hoody wearing a Clemson football hat. He's a very talented golfer.
He plays a lot of golf, is he really no kidding?
A lot of country musicians are great, good he loves
South Carolina. He loves that state, and he's a terrific
(24:29):
performer and.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Very charitable, very charitable human being. He does a lot
for charity.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
You know my favorite song now I want to Jeff,
have you ever heard Darius Rucker sing a song called
I Sang Phenomenal. It's a phenomenal tune. Phenomenal tune. So anyway,
uncle Mike, you know one of the things.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So February we're talking about all the things going on.
Tuesday the tent is bring your shrimp to Planet Fitness Day.
It's finet Fitness has a promotion going down to bring
your shrimp in a run on a treadmill. So this Tuesday,
the tenth is bring your shrimp well a gym day.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Well, And as we spoke about it yesterday, we were
able to ascertain through the generosity of the federal government
through a NHS grant National Health and Human Services Grant,
we ascertained and reported to all our listeners that yes,
we have studied the fact that shrimp can run on treadmills.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, you know, I have this vision of people walking
their shrimp. You imagine that with a leash and a
little little harness on them and taking up for a walk.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
See.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I like free range shrimp.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I I.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Like the idea of of not harnessing a shrimp. I mean,
I let them run wild because let's face it, that's
the way God made them.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So based on what you were telling me, the studies
that they came up with is that it's the sick
shrimp are the ones that get caught because they're not
fast enough.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And that means we're eating the sick shrimp and and.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
The healthy ones. I wonder if we've ever had a
healthy shrimp.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
That's a really good question. Too fast? You know, it's interesting.
Why don't we do? I don't know, but I think
when we go into Adams. I love being able to
shop for my seafood at Adams. I'd like to go
in and say, no, no, no, no no, I want the healthy shrimp,
not the ones that you're selling over here. I want
the ones that you can certify or healthy. That's our
next broadcast. I have a shrimp race at Adams. How
(26:20):
fast the frozen shrimp can run? Probably not very fast. Yeah,
that's a really the possibilities are endless on this bring.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Your shrimp to the gym day, and.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
It's all because of the science. The science three million
dollars for the federal government is too It just like.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
We should show up at play the fitness of my
Cartaga's place and say we have our where we need
to exercise our shrimp today. If you've got to, if
you've got a treadmill force.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You have a discountant rate for myself to bring a
shrimp in. You know, I want my shrimp to join,
to join Artagas.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And I will, you know. The precursor to telling him
that is like, look, the sheriff is my friend. They'll
be calling the police on its It's is serious. The
shrimp can actually run on a treadmill, you know, so
we have government veryification that they can run.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You don't have to tell you something, you know. And
when when we were talking to to to Sheriff Kirk yesterday,
which is always a fun interview to have with him,
and he's a terrific, terrific law enforcement officer, and we
talked about the specialty units. We talked about the canine
unit and all the the the the aerial drone unit.
What about a shrimp unit.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, got a police to shrimp in the river.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well, I mean exactly I mean the shrimp could actually
be undercover river agents being able to see what's going
on in that in that in the wild fish community.
I bet your sheriff is I bet you the sheriff's
listening to this goes. That's a really good idea. It
might be difficult getting the value.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
This morning with ed Kuski is officially off the rails.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I wish I was we have somebody here. Who is it,
Jeff Tom, I'm back and Kill. Hey Tom from Spack
and Kill. How are you?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
I'm fine, I can't verify that you and I'll go
bike this morning are mentally fick.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You've heard it her, You've heard of here live folks.
That's exactly correct.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I was gonna say your program is going to the dogs,
but actually your program is going to the strip.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yes, yes, he's sting afraid of insanity. I embrace it now.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Well, I think that might be one of your better
talents too. By the way, that's why you're on the radio.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Hey Tom, Tom, listen to me, and I'm going to
put you on the spot for a minute. You're gonna
have to admit to us and for all our listeners
who are listening right now. The next time you have
a shrimp, you're going to be thinking of this, of
this segment, I hope not.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
To have ship into their future. I'm gonna switch to sabon.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Okay, right, there's probably something that they probably have tests
with salmon too.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Look, I mean, look at what salmon are cyclists. They're
riding bicycles. Now, look at what Gavin Newsom did in
California in terms of shutting down and blowing up those
damns because he didn't want to interfere with the salmon
populations all over there.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
He's a genius.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
All the smelt the smelt.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
No, no, smelts were another issue. Salmon were another issue.
So from that, from that perspective, a genie.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
So I'm really I'm really upset that he didn't get
to the White House. What a country you'd have.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
By the way, a lot of people don't remember that
he was recalled. I mean, the California voters recalled him.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
They don't have that provision in the New York State.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I don't think a recall factor. I don't, you know,
that's a good question. I don't know if we do
or don't, that's you know, I will look that up.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Eight million Democrats in New York City. It wouldn't matter
anyway because it's not going to work.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
But anyway, where's Wisconsin might but recall and referendum. We
don't have that provision in the New York State Constitution.
If we did, we should have exercised it a long
time ago.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yes, well, you know again, you know we we we
range from being able to talk about the silly too serious,
and you know, what's going on in New York State
is is deadly serious. There's really not a lot to
laugh about, you know, in terms of what's going on.
And I wanted to why I have you on on
air and the well, actually, you know what I'm gonna
let you do. Tom. We're up against the heartbreak, let
(29:55):
me drop, let me let me just got to it
was okay. You know, there's a there's an interesting race
going on next Tuesday in Westchester County whereby the woman
by the name of Christine.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Sculti for the county executive position, the.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
County executive position that George Latimer vacated when he was
elected to Congress. Sculpti was the county's or is the
county's deputy election commissioner. She served as a chief advisor
to former County execu Rob Astonno and she was the
Mid Hudson Regional Director of Economic Development. She built a
family business down there, and she's running against Latimer's deputy
(30:37):
county executive, a guy named Jenkins.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
West Chester County does not treat Republicans very well.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
But but listen to what her positions are. Her positions are.
She wants to kill congestion pricing, she wants to be
able to repeal Westchester's sanctuary laws, which restrict county employees
from working with federal immigration authorities, and her opponent, Jenkins'
bank sanctuary policies in Westchester County, claiming that they actually
(31:10):
boost public safety. That election is happening next Tuesday. We're
certainly going to be following that one. Tom, Thank you much.
I'll thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Sure, we'd love it if you tuned in to Hudson
Valley This Morning with Ed Kowalski from six to nine
am Monday through Friday on fourteen fifty thirteen seventy AM
