Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Have we do. We have ourcollection of leftists Twitter postings explaining why they're
not going to celebrate Fourth of Julybecause history or whatever. Have those started
to emerge yet? Those are myfavorite every year around the Fourth of July,
where I got to listen to somediatribe by somebody who was never in

(00:23):
captivity or and it pointed at peoplewho never did own other people and why
it's also just so unfair, usuallypenned from a home that I will I
will never be able to probably tourcomplaining about all this country has to offer.

(00:45):
And don't get me wrong, there'sbeef. There's there's reason to have
beef or a country that's formed onbeef, right, So you know we'll
be looking for those we already hadsome. We already had a fireworks that
mishap. Nobody had a fireworks Agarage full of fireworks did not go well.

(01:07):
So uh yeah, we're off toWe're off to a typical start.
But I realized I hadn't seen anyof the Hollywood stars and why they hate
America things yet, so and Idon't know, maybe it's a weird time
to do that. There is areport this morning by the New York Post,
and I want you to I wantyou to understand why it's not.

(01:34):
It's not a crisis of conscience.Maybe you know what, I'll hold out
that maybe it is for one ofthem. Twenty five House Democrats reportedly preparing
to call for Biden to end reelection effort. Now, if you look
to see who is on this list, we don't know the totality of it.

(01:56):
And again this is this is reportingbased on source within the within Biden's
campaign. There's not names out there, but there's a lot of details.
And they're not the only ones reportingit. The twenty five are. I'll
give you an example, and yesterdaywe saw Lloyd Doggett, who is a

(02:19):
Texas Democrat. He was the first. Others include let's see Jared Golden,
who represents a district in Maine,Marie Perez from the state of Washington,
and obviously twenty some more. You'llyou'll you'll notice their districts are purple or

(02:44):
red in most instances, there's acouple plus let's see what is that the
Washington district is what plus three Democrat. These are folks who realize that there
is a high likelihood that they losetheir seats, okay, And these are
folks who have been in Washington,some of them for a very long time,

(03:07):
who knew what was up everybody did, and didn't feel it necessary to
get into it then. And it'snot easy. Look, I understand it's
not easy because the way Washington worksthat money, so much of it is
controlled by the you know, thingslike don't orry, I've got the Dolly

(03:30):
part and pay for everybody we're goingto get into it. Yeah, controlled
by like you know, the thethe Senate, Senate Electoral Committee or whatever
it is. Where you get youknow, you get a giant amount of
money. The parties have money,and if you fall outside of it,
you start to go and roague.You may not have access to it.

(03:52):
So you know, that tends tobe the motivator here. But these are
folks who are sitting there and lookingat the writing on the wall. Now,
whether that will do anything, Idon't know, but I'm not surprised.
And uh, we'll see. Iguess they're going to have, let's
see a meeting because you know,it's the fourth of July recess right now,

(04:16):
so they're going to have some sortof meaning. I'm not sure when
it is. I thought they hadit in the article here, but maybe
I skimmed past it. And youknow, who knows what it is that
the Biden folks can tell them ortell these uh these these these uh members
of Congress are sitting there looking atthe poll and go, this is really

(04:36):
bad for me. Yeah, herewe go, I guess they're saying.
And you have the governor's meeting theywere talking about. Yeah, the White
House indicated the meetings between Biden andcongressional leaders are in the works. Uh,
in addition to the House or theDemocratic governors. Uh, that meeting

(04:59):
is take place today. I sawthat they try to get Roy Cooper's office
to talk about it, but hedid not in any of the reporting I
saw, unless he said something latelast night. And remember he was one
of the names on the short listfor maybe being a candidate for president or

(05:21):
vice president if you could figure outthe Kamala Harris mess. So, yeah,
even though it's fourth of July weekendor week and then into the weekend,
it's it is proving to have alot of news emerging. For sure,
where is this? This is theone you know, and all of

(05:42):
that's going on and this is theone that is most interesting to me.
I didn't get it. I didn'tget a chance to ask Ross. Could
I I asked you a quick questionthis morning. Are you the prophetic,
foretold new leader of France? Isthat you? Because somebody got the sword?

(06:05):
Man, I don't know. Idon't know. If you guys know
this. France has their own excaliber. It's it's a big tourist attraction.
The Durandall's sword, which has beensecured up on a ledge stuck in
a rock for thirteen hundred years.Somebody got it. I want to say

(06:27):
it was one of Charlemagne's knights whoput it there, and then whoever back
in the eighth century at least thisis the story. Who knows, maybe
a guy named Pierre put it therefifty years ago, but it basically has
the same legend that the sword belongedto Roland, who maybe you've heard of
if you're in any of the knight'slore. And whoever was able to remove

(06:49):
it from the stone, is youknow, should be in charge of the
Gauls. So I didn't. Idon't know who got it, but they're
not. They're very upset. Buttwo, why would they be if that's
your legend. Wasn't that the wholething with the sword and the stone.
Everybody lined up for miles to tryto tug that thing out. So you

(07:15):
issued the challenge with your whole narrative, and then you charge people to go
go see the thing. Now,granted you didn't want them tugging on it,
but these are your rules. Frenchtown of what's the name of the
town, raka mondor Roka Mador,which I'm totally butchering. But and and

(07:39):
by the way, this is notan easy sword to get to. This
thing was like one hundred feet upon a sheer cliff where a part of
a castle was kind of carved intoit. I hope La Penn shows up
at her next rally holding the sword. I didn't even think of that.

(08:01):
Oh maybe so bad because right,she's literally Hitler, right, I believe
it's the narrative. Yeah, yeah, she's female hitler. Yeah yeah,
yeah, most of the Okay,so you didn't get it. You're not
the ruler of France. No,I've been staying away from lakes. I've
had enough of those swords. Yes, I knew you had a problem,
But Durandall described as indestructible and thesharpest in the world. So it's like

(08:24):
doors hammer sort of like, don'tyou know, if you're worthy, you
can pick it up. Yeah,it's ex caliberts Thor's hammer. It's all
of those things. So like,why would you be upset that somebody got
it? Obviously? Uh, thelegend has been fulfilled. I just went
lapen up there at a podium,just holding it and not even like acknowledging
it right around and like messing withher hair, using it to turn pages

(08:48):
of her speech. Right, Oh, I received a letter, let me
open it. Yeah, I don'tknow. Man, somebody got the sword,
and does that get you an olivegarden discount? I didn't even think
of that. If the Green Jacketdoes a legendary sword of you know,

(09:09):
selecting the king probably has to writesome sort of discount. And if you
are the leader of France, youimmediately go capture Italy. Right, these
are the things you got to thinkabout when you're suddenly in charge. So
anyway, whoever got it, goodon you? What is that? Okay?

(09:35):
There's literally even instances that people tryingto go get the sword, Well,
obviously they were unworthy. So Ithink that's what we can extract from
that. All right, So doyou guys know the Dolly Parton story?
Oh? Boy, Ross, doyou know the Dolly Parton story? I
don't think I Do you know thatDolly Parton has a She's got a One

(10:01):
of her programs is a book program. Yeah, Lincoln receives a book like
every month. Oh really, Okay, that's good. Yeah. She'd been
doing that for since like the nineties. And the reason she did it is
her father never learned to read.She grew up in one of the poorest
counties in the South and so shedecided, you know, and as a

(10:22):
little girl, for her, theability to get a book was such a
big deal because of, you know, the financial situation of the family and
the funding that they had for schoolsback in the day in the county she
lived in. So since nineteen ninetyfive, this book program, let's see

(10:43):
here, called Imagination Library has operatedfor three decades, operates not just in
the US, but also UK,Ireland, Canada, and Australia, and
has actually been peer reviewed, studied, proven to help drive up literacy rates
because of the areas and the waysin which they try to get books in

(11:05):
the hands of kids. So Lincolngets a book. So what what is
your opinion of the program? Whatwould you say? Good program? I
wouldn't say it was a bad program, and you would say it's white saviorism,
and I would I would not havesaid that. No, Well,
someone over at UNC did. Yep. Yeah, a paper has been published

(11:28):
accusing Dolly Parton of white saviorism andreinforcing hedero normativity. That monster, and
of course it had to emulate fromthe University of North Carolina. So yeah,
that's just one of the many storieswe'll touch on coming up here on
the CaCO Day Radio program. Howfar down the list are you if you've

(11:54):
decided the next target is Dolly Parton? Like, is are there people who
hate I mean there obviously are arethere people who hate Dolly Parton outside of
some moonbat at UNC. Has sheever been involved in a scandal? I
can't think of one. And she'snot overtly political. She avoids it.

(12:20):
But that didn't stop. Uh.Let's see who's the publisher of this paper.
Speech and language pathologist Jennifer Stone atthe University of North Carolina, published
by unc AS, searched that DollyParton's philanthropy. This, uh, this
now three decade old literacy program,let's see here, is potentially dangerous and

(12:48):
smacks of white saviorism. Considering theprogram began in the county in which she
grew up in, which would Iremind you, is one of the poorest,
and then expanded from there this isSevier County. I don't know if
I'm pronouncing that right. How isthat white saviorism? Because the books go

(13:15):
to kids of all backgrounds. Ifanything, you could argue, well,
why did she choose to start itin this county which is very white county
because she's from there? But Iunderstand your dishonesty. The program, which
has benefited kids not just in theUS, but all over the UK,
Ireland and many other places like ithas the good Housekeeping Seal of approved.

(13:43):
Does that carry Waite any more ofthe good housekeeping seal of approval? I
don't know. She's She's gotten somany literacy awards. There are studies that
prove the program has helped literacy rates. The problem is, uh, the

(14:03):
program is here we go. Theprogram is oppressive. I think you'll understand
what the problem is here. Thethe program smacks of white saviorism is a
white privilege heteronormativity and operate under theassumption that families, because it is a

(14:26):
family based thing, is a pathwayto literacy and educational success. The the
media is in full purge mode.Man who whatever you want to call it,
and it's and and it's purely selfserving right one. It's not just

(14:48):
about the presidency. And that's whatpeople need to understand. They would be
willing. I think that there's alot of people to be willing to leave
Biden in and just take their medicineif if the House and Senate weren't imperiled.
That's the that's the game change.You get a Republican president in there,
you have control of the House andSenate, and even though you you're

(15:11):
not gonna have the sixty votes inthe Senate when you get into spending stuff,
remember you don't need that for alot of things. That's not a
one hundred percent accurate statement, butyou've seen right where they can move stuff
through because it is budget related.And that's that's the nightmare scenario, both

(15:33):
the ability to do that and alsokind of wield where the moneys go or
cut off the spigot. If theyactually had the stones to do it in
a lot of instances, so nowthey are absolutely terrified. And whether it
is these democrats, these twenty fiveHouse members who are sitting in very vulnerable
districts, whether it's a New YorkTimes is reporting that Barack Obama and private

(15:56):
is telling people that Joe's cooked man. And remember he put out that whole
tweet about just show you how disingenuousall these people are. They Oh,
no, a bad debate, thatdoesn't mean anything. No, everything's fine,
And and then behind the scenes isjust like this is this is awful.

(16:17):
I mean, I've seen this fromfriends on the left. You know,
their progress when it comes to thinkingabout this debate, where the first
few days it was like, oh, it was just a bad debate,
people will move on, and nowyou have it cold, you had a
colder like you know, just it'llget better, or just a debate,
and not realizing the historical significance ofwhat happened, whereas it was such a
bad debate that they're not only consideringticking him off the ticket, but maybe

(16:37):
forcing him to move over and resign. Well, yeah, I mean I
don't know that they can per seand you know what did you see that
Hunter Biden sitting in on the strategymeetings at the White House and the aides
are like, what is going on? And like I've said, I've never
seen I mean, we know themedia does this right where they're moving in
lockstep, but I mean the knivesare now out and you know it's not

(17:00):
do you know what? Yesterday wasthe anniversary of Night of Long Knives?
What was it? Really? Yeah? In that wild huh? And actually
today would still be part of itbecause it took place over about forty eight
hours. But anyway, Yeah,to your point, yes, absolutely,
man, absolutely, And the thing, the thing that is not getting enough

(17:22):
attention but should is this is wellone of the Biden things self made.
But that decision to check openly tellpeople you're checking boxes, to put Kamala
Harris in as the vice president eventhough she is objectively awful, because we

(17:47):
I'm gonna choose someone. We're gonnahave the first black remember, right,
so I'm gonna choose a woman anda person of color. They said it,
they set it out loud. Isnow styming their ability to move past
that is if Kamala is right inthe sense that if if you just throw
her to the wolves too, blackvoters aren't going to show up. Now

(18:10):
that's not to say all black voterslike her, but it's the it's the
optics of the thing, and thatis one hundred percent self inflicted right there.
What is your take on the parenteternal Democratic polling numbers that came out
yesterday where they were showing the electoralmap and why the panic is actually happening?
Do you think those So the mapRoss is talking about is somebody made
a map and they wherever they could, they made it a red state,

(18:36):
which means those states had to eitherbe polled red for Biden or within the
margin of air. And when youlook at that map, you see what
forty five red states like five bluestates California, New York, Illinois.
That's the one you're talking about,right Whereas this is how bad it could
get. Yeah, that's a strongvisual man. Well yeah, Well the

(18:57):
numbers that went along with that mapas well, because they'd a number you
know that corresponded to it, andthey apparently it's their internal polling and it
shows why they're panicking so much.Well, that's he's losing like every swing
state or I think when Virginia heled by like half of a not even
half, like a quarter of apercentage point or something. Stupid. Yeah,

(19:17):
the only the only state in therethat's not a coastal state is Illinois,
that where it's still blue. Everyother state not touching an ocean is
red. And only California, Oregon, state of Washington's in play. Just
here, just here where a CaliforniaOregon. And then you know, like

(19:37):
a handful of states on the Eastcoast that you're just new You're never gonna
flip right New York. Right,it's just not Connecticut. It's not happening.
But yeah, but that's weird,ross because I heard that, I
heard other internal polling. Here wego. This from the campaign shows that
the president's support is unsh changed followingthe debate, virtually identical to polling they

(20:04):
did in mate. So that's theirinternal polling. It right from the Biden
campaign, right, for the Bidencampaign. Correct, Yeah, not the
parties internal polling, but the campaigns, I mean, not their numbers,
but the ones you're talking about withthe map where it shows that they're like,
you know, it's a dire situation. It would explain why people like
Brian Stilter are in complete panic modeas well, and just incomplete. I

(20:26):
mean they've gone from covering his assfor nearly four years, right, protecting
him, sheltering this guy, tosuddenly being like you need to leave.
What happened? What happened? Yeah, besides the big performance, I mean
what happened is they realized it's notjust the debate performance. It's that this
guy's got to do another debate ifhe stays in remember, right, and

(20:48):
this guy has to be the president. But more so than between the hours
of ten am to four pm.Well that's when that's when things happened,
So you know, just ten tofour and it's it's actually worse than that.
The New York Times piece also saidthat during the prep right cause,
their excuse yesterday was he's been runningall over the world. And somebody pointed

(21:10):
out that he was at Camp Davidfor like a week ahead of the debate.
And now we find out that duringthe debate prep he had they allocated
nap time for him in the afternoon. They said that he got up every
day during that prep time right atby eleven o'clock and then he took a
nap in the afternoon, yep,which you know, that sounds like a

(21:30):
good schedule to me, but I'mnot the president, so just wild.
And then we got people that aremad at Dolly Parton. What a crazy
day, dude. We got someaudio we're going to get into as well,
and I think it will underscore whythere is continued panic. But first,
let's go to some calls. Donna, you're up first, go ahead,

(21:52):
Hi, Casey, good morning.He totally caught me off guard.
So two things. A hunter ishanging close to his dad. He's protecting
his interests to make sure that he'sstill president so he can pardon them after
his federal trial. Well but butbut actually it speaks to a much stronger
thing. The reason that they thatHunter Biden is there and Jeel's there is

(22:17):
it's it's exactly what happens. Theydon't trust they're the people around them.
They think they're trying to undermine them. So the paranoia portion of this is
already set in, which is wild. All right, What was the other
thing? The other thing is theDolly Parton story. All he has to
do is hire black and brown atheisticdrag queens to read to little kids about

(22:41):
gay men adopting cross eye conjoined verybabies. That's all. How often do
you come across one of those?Thanks for the call there, d Is
it a lottery situation? I don'tknow. Man. There's one other line
in this story that basically, hereatlea just summon up for you. Basically,
by giving these these kids books sothat they, you know, have

(23:04):
the same opportunity as families with means, it creates a It creates a narrative
that, uh, literacy, readingand traditional family structures are are a good
thing. It is reading not agood thing anymore, because I'm I'm really

(23:26):
confused. I understood reading was fundamental, I we I. But also I
was raised on a generation where adude from Star Trek every week or every
you know I he would sit thereand share books with me, and then
you get excited about books. Iwas raised in a generation where we would

(23:48):
get this this vividly colored month.Every month we get this this little catalog
for kids, and it had mostlybooks but had a ton of other cool
stuff, and you know, yougo home and you'd be like, ah,
I can't what can I do togo ahead and get some of this
stuff? And like that was andthen your stuff would show up, your
books would show up. But itwas a lot of that was amazing.

(24:11):
So how did we go from Yeah, you should probably know how to read.
It'll be a good thing too.Why are you trying to uh put
these kids in molds? I would, I would, I would ask this
author to start her own program thattakes books from kids and see which one
gets more public support. Right,So, like, ah, I heard,

(24:33):
I heard Ross, I heard thatyour son has a has a bunch
of books in the house. Isthat true? Well, we're gonna come
take those, can't have those?You should probably burn them too, right,
just to be safe. After you'veafter you removed the books from people's
homes, you probably want to burnthem and do it in a very visual
way. Have like a giant bookburning and then give speeches. You tell

(24:57):
me, like a like a bookburning for the children, for the children,
Yes, for the good of thechildren, getting those nasty books away
from them with ideas and stuff.What are you talking about? Does Lincoln
have a favorite book? By theway, because I was reading something it
didn't make it into the articles orreading some of this other stuff. And
basically they're they're saying that what yourchild's favorite book is may give you some

(25:19):
insight into whether you're a horrible parentor not. It's like, if your
kid likes a book that you know, like a classic, probably horrible.
You guys have a favorite book andI read it to them every single night
before he goes to bed, andit's getting like tiresome. It's The Art
of War by Sun Zoo. Yes, yes, okay, that is a
classic. I feel like this underminesthe point that I'm trying to make.

(25:45):
Can you imagine you just read yourkid that? I mean, I don't
have to imagine, I do it? Well, I no, I understand.
We have the one for children.It's a pop up book, but
I mean it's it's the same thesame words in the book, but just
comes to pop ups of it.So what about the part where you genetically
alter the society you've conquered. Isn'tthat a little heavy? Reading Genghis Khan

(26:11):
on the locals? We might havethe abridged version, Okay, all right,
well man, you couple that withthe you know, the French sort
of destiny and uh, you're readyto go. We actually alternate every other
day. First, it's the Artof War, and then he's asked me
to read this new book, andit's just, you know, I try
to go along with his interest.You, I want to encourage him.
So the other one is The Artof the Deal by Donald Trump. Oh

(26:33):
my gosh, so art your kidsinto art? Yeah, it's passion.
Yeah, big fan of art.Okay, the Heart of the Deal,
Art of War, Bobby, whatmore do you need? Oh, man,
Sue, what's up? Yeah?Hello? Okay, Hello, Hi.

(26:56):
Yeah. I had a question foreverybody is owing him, oh Biden?
Now have you noticed Obiden? Yeah? I just heard it. Yeah.
And they act like they don't knowwhat they're saying, because they make
no comment before or after saying it. They just you know, they just
call him, you know, o'biden. Huh. I mean, are are

(27:22):
you referring to the media or justthe the the supporters or former supporters,
even even the congressmen, even importantpeople in Washington. One of them said,
who's in who's in charge? Theysaid, because o'biden is obviously not
in charge. Well, I thinkthat Barack Obama or people that formerly and

(27:47):
thanks for the Calders who that werearound Barack Obama are pulling a lot more
strings than uh than people realize.So I think Chris Matthews recently said that
the Bill Marshaw, Yes, didyou see a clipper? He slipped and
he said Obama instead of Biden.Yep. Yeah, yeah, it's these

(28:07):
are all things that at the veryleast these media folks suspected, if not
outright new. It's too small acircle because you know what it Also the
other thing that makes them really madis this is reflecting on them because people
sit there and go, how didyou not know this? Why have you
been telling me? The other thinglike this is they're upset too because it

(28:30):
it thrust them into the cooker aswell. Yeah, not that most of
them shouldn't have been cooked already,but it definitely has opened some eyes up
from some real diehards. Not thatthe person yesterday was like, oh he
had a cold, it was fine. I don't know if that's fixable.
I think you're just gonna have towait that out. But you know,

(28:52):
for I think other folks, becauseit then it said, then it says
what else are they not telling me? And and maybe you take somebody who
was very apolitical and just believed everythingyou said, and now they start looking
into stuff. Wait until the journalistsand the normies find out about Biden's corrupt
business deals. I don't know whatyou're talking about. Is that a thing?
Can you imagine? Yeah? Idon't know where did all this come

(29:15):
from? What Baba Husky? Youshould you should mix that into Lincoln's reading
schedule. Just read the transcripts fromthe Herd interview if we ever get it,
so that'd be amazing. All right, six fifty, We're going to
take a break. Hang on,you know this is this is not going
to be real journalism. But Idon't know, not that he's going to

(29:37):
do real journalism, but I wonderif George Stephanopolis is going to be the
dude to put him down right,Like, is the interview to save him
or is it to push him outof the way, Cause, you know,
Stephanopolis has famously done interviews, Well, he did an interview with Biden,
did He's done interviews where it's it'sclear he still works for the Why

(30:00):
House, Okay, or the Clintonsfor that matter. Absolutely nobody, nobody
buys it when George Stephanopolis is selectedto do an interview, especially if there's
trouble in Paradise the fixes in Manand it's not even gonna be a live
interview, but apparently that's going tobe the first post debate interview they're going
to do. Now, ask yourself, why wouldn't they do it live?

(30:22):
Isn't this about proving as Jake Tapperwas talking about yesterday, where you're suggesting
that the president do a two hourpress conference, like the reason his reasoning
was that'll show him, right,if things are really okay, do this
and that'll show them. And soyou're gonna do this interview with Stephanopolis and

(30:45):
you're not gonna do it live.That defeats the whole purpose. What's the
point because they can edit it tomake it look like whatever they want it
to look like. So which wayare they going to try to frame the
interview with Biden? You know whatit feels like? Remember the the interview
that NBC reporter did with the senatorfrom Pennsylvania following you know, when they're
like he's on the campaign trail,everything's fine, right, and she's just

(31:11):
like, wow, that was notgood. And remember they tried to eviserate
this woman. If your Stephanopolis,you know, just integrity would dictate you
say no this has got to bea live interview because the point of this
interview is to show that the debatewas an anomaly. I'm also curious for
a politician and you see how muchdamage that a single debate can do to

(31:36):
you, Like, does that bringabout a little anxiety? I don't know.
Well, see, I'm sure Markdoesn't care. Obviously he rolled into
that that city council meeting with themin Vigor to use some terms we were
using yesterday. A few things.Let's let me just get into it.
By the way, this is aweird phenomena that I notice now and I'm

(32:00):
just going to point it out becauseI don't know, maybe it interests you.
There is this weird core of folkswho got beef with Travis Kelcey and
Taylor Swift just like in totality,and they're kind of operating like journalists fact

(32:22):
checkers around Donald Trump, where they'relike, we have to put a list
together of the lives. We gotto do this, so anything and everything
that comes out of his mouth getsthis weird fact check. And I've noticed
that now you have people that arelike anytime Travis Kelcey does an interview and
talks about Taylor Swift and things thathappened, or the first time she went

(32:45):
to the stadium and he was doingan interview the other day and he said
that she's just so down to earthand you know, it doesn't make a
big deal and she just she showedup and just went through, didn't have
a bunch of security. Was justa normal person, right, And that's
what he really likes about her.And it's like, I don't even like,

(33:05):
I don't care. I don't Idon't care whether I believe you or
don't believe you. But you havelike then people who are running out every
time something is said, and likethey got video receipts. There's like photos
of a giant security entourage and she'sin like a Carmen san Diego disguise,
and it's like every little thing.So these are this is people's passion now,

(33:28):
just following these two around and tryingto pick apart any stories they tell,
and you could tell it really bothershim, like I you know,
I could it could impact his productions. About to say, I hope it
doesn't affect his performance in the field. I'd be a share. Yeah,
you don't want to see that,huh. I wouldn't be fair. Yeah,

(33:52):
it's just funny what people get allpuffed up over. By the way,
this story I gotta share with you. You guys know Chet Hankins a
Chet Hanks, Chet Hanks of course, the very strange son of Tom Hanks.
This is the dude who all ofa sudden had a Jamaican accent for
no reason. In fact, dowe saw that in the system. No,

(34:12):
I was just looking for it.Can't find it. Oh man,
what a tragedy. So anyway,yeah, so he and he was like
the unofficial White Boy Summer, thekickoff, the thing and the whole dude.
The dude is strange. That beingsaid, I don't know that I've
ever seen anything like this. Soapparently chet Hanks was doing enough, so

(34:36):
much cocaine that other addicts and hisdealers reached out to friends and family to
get him to slow down. Howbad does your habit have to be if
your dealers is doing your intervention.Yes, that is crazy, man.
And he doesn't say how much thatis, but I'm going to assume it's

(34:58):
it's more than that baggy that theyfound at the White House, probably all
at once. Now, he didactually go to rehab following a couple incidents
and uh, obviously intervention by yourdealer. Well, but that's the thing.
If you're a dealer, I understandwhy you're you're in a rock and

(35:19):
a hard play. It's one thingif you got somebody who's just somebody,
right, Yeah, but this guy'sspending so much money. Well but he's
not just that he's spending so muchmoney, but also you can bet your
butt that if he od's on yourstuff, they're gonna find the Hank's family
will bring that power to bear.And you're not just out of business,
you're probably never out of a prisonagain. So you know you're walking a

(35:43):
fine line right there. Man.Uh, Hank's after a couple of incidents.
One where he trashed a hotel room. Well that's you know, that's
standard star stuff, even if he'snot a star. And two apparently he
smoked a bunch of crack and wasfollowing a dell around trying to hook up
with her backstage, and she shewouldn't having it, so probably because she

(36:07):
realized he's on all the cocaine.So yeah, that is still wild little
story man. All right, letme let me get over to this.
We have. By the way,we have a couple we have a couple
religious artifact stories that we're gonna haveto get into today. So pretty excited
about that. So the President outwith his teleprompters. By the way,

(36:35):
they've adopted and this is really goingto annoy me. Not the not that
Biden said it, but it's it'sclearly the narrative that they've decided to go
with. And yesterday I had tohear one of the campaign flax try to
invoke Chumba Womble lyrics as the drivingreally the driving attitude within the campaign.

(36:59):
You guys remember thumping chumbawamba, Yeah, yeah, get I get knocked down
and get back up again. Yeah, So that they were literally he was
invoking those words he gets knocked down, he gets back up again and something
mouse from the song if you're havinga deep dive Chumba one, but you've
got bigger issues son, Well Iwas. I thought, who was it?
Maybe it is Andrea Mitchell or somebodywhere somebody maybe maybe somebody in MSMB,

(37:22):
MSNBC, and they're talking about howyou know, well, this is
the story of Biden, right,he always gets knocked down and then when
he's at the very bottom, hefinds a way to bring himself back up
and overcome and his it's a Hisstory is a story of personal triumph and
perseverance and blah blah blah and uhand getting hammered in a bar and then
getting in a fight, which,if you listen to the song, is

(37:44):
part of that. So did JoeBiden get hammered at a bar and get
in a fist fight in a pub? That would be interesting and then if
you won, you would want topost that video. Right Like he rolls
into a waffle house at three inthe morning and starts one of those brawls,
comes out victorious. I feel likeyou would use that as evidence that
he's still good to go. Yeah, but if you're the guy who got

(38:05):
beaten down by Joe Biden, youhave to move like you can't. It's
over. There's no coming to bea plant. Let's just be honest.
I was It's like a job orin the w w Oh yeah, absolutely,
yeah. You bring in a fewof those guys right to uh,
you know, take a little littlesoft chin music and roll. By the
way, this was not did yousee uh? Was it? Uh?

(38:28):
Which was it? Strickland Sean's yousee Sean Strickland and that Navy seal.
Look, that Navy seal could probablykick the crap out of about ninety dying
percent of the people he encounters.But what a difference with a trained you
know, with a trained MMA fighter. That was brutal. And to the
seals credit man, you know,he was there for it. He wouldn't

(38:49):
tapping out. He was gonna goall the way. But that was a
crazy video floating around out there today. Sorry, I just got distracted.
I got all these little stories,a little crazy. We're gonna go to
FLOORA to like I said, wegot religious artifacts stuff. So let's be
kind of one of those bounce arounddays. Uh let's see here. Let
me let me get into the JoeBiden audio because every time this now happens,

(39:14):
the amount of scrutiny is going tobe ratcheted up. And one of
those things that happens on the regularis Joe Biden unable to function without a
teleprompter, only kind of able tofunction with one. More people die from
extreme eat, then floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes combined. Say that again,

(39:35):
combine more people die from heat thanthose of three other years of what
I don't understand why. I understandhow a telepro how things are written out
on a teleprompter where you know there'slike there'll be something and then in parentheses
is generally a command and not somethingyou're supposed to read, you know,
pause, pause for effect, orsay that again, or you know,

(40:00):
whatever it is. It's clear thatwriting things on a teleprompter that way isn't
working for him. Would we allagree putting in those the you know,
the narrative part that's not supposed tobe read, the instructional part. Now,
I was thinking that this morning,like, at some point you've got
to change the way that you're puttingstuff up on the teleprompter. Only put

(40:21):
stuff you want read, right,Yeah, And yet they don't like So
I understand why Hunter Biden and themare in there thinking like the people around
him are sabotaging him, because Ikind of feel like this is an easy
one. Don't put instructions in there. But then you flash back to those
remember the note cards telling them whereto sit and where not to sit.

(40:46):
Remember the media downplayed all of thatas well. You know, they were
their commands, like don't you knowthey get like you're instructing a child.
And it was a really bad lookand they and they played it, they
played it all off. But it'snothing. That's just how that's just how
they do these things. No,it's not. You're gonna put things on

(41:07):
there that, understandably maybe harder toremember, you know, like order of
speakers, things like you know,things like you would get on a program.
You don't tell somebody. You don'ttell the President of the United States
when to sit and where to sitin a setting that is frequently repeated.
It was even more damning on there. There were some things that were just

(41:30):
really bad. So, yeah,I don't understand why the teleprompter person hasn't
figured out, Yeah, you can'tput those instructions in there. Just you're
just gonna have to let him goin bang away read whatever he needs to
read. And when it's just youknow, when it's when there's no more
words, leave mister president while weyell so nobody can get a question in

(41:52):
edgewise. But nah, they keepthey keep doing it, so I don't
know, maybe they're paranoia, isis warrented? Meanwhile, they finally got
questions to Jean Pierre, who thisshe's awful. Like we can all agree
on this, she's not good atit, but also she doesn't have a

(42:13):
soul. And I understand it's yourjob to go up there and spin,
but we don't spin anymore. Haveyou noticed that the White House spokesperson's job
is not one of spin deflection?And you know, changing the subject in
a cute manner, that's that's howyou used to do it. Now you
just straight up lie man. Hejust reminded us the press Infiden had a

(42:36):
cold. And I would like toremind you that this is not Peter Deucy.
Okay, this is not Peter Deucy. Who would expect these this type
of question from this is trickled downto the normies, the regulars, the
mainstream. He just reminded us thepress Infiden had a cold on Thursday.
What medications was he taking in thedays or hours leading to the debate?

(43:00):
And I can I know that questionhas come in a couple of times to
us. He was not taking anycold medication. Was he taking any meditation
That wouldn't have interfered because he wasnot taking uh, any cold medication.
That is what I can speak to. I've asked the doc his doctor,
and that's what he stated to usafter the debate. Did the president get
exammed by a doctor or did heget a neurological scan? A neurological scan.

(43:25):
Look, what I can say isthat, just to take a step
back, it was a bad night. We understand that it was a bad
night. And the president has spokento this and he understands that, and
so I cannot speak to anything beyondwhat I just shared. The president has

(43:50):
regular annual physicals that we release ina thorough report. We're gonna continue to
do that. Uh. I don'thave anything else beyond that. Yes,
yeah, yeah, yeah, SoCBS is let's see here. That was
CBS's Waysia Jeong. I don't knowhow to pronounce her name. Let's see

(44:15):
here. And then there was anotherOh you know what, I just realized,
Ross, I didn't send you theother story. So there's another question
in there, and I'll just I'llrepeat, and she was asked, point
blank, is the president suffering froma diagnosis? Does he have a diagnosis
of anything such as Alzheimer's or youknow, an any one of those types

(44:39):
of diseases, And Jean Pierre actedall offended and went no, unequivocally no.
So they're on the record as that, and I don't know that that
necessary. You know, good luckgetting a hold of I guess the actual
medical records. But they did goon the record saying that none of that,

(45:00):
and I don't know, maybe maybehe's not suffering from a diagnosis and
they're playing fast and loose with thatword. But yeah, yeah, that's
She was very offended by it,and I kind of have to feel like

(45:20):
before long we'll know whether there's anytruth to them. I mean, this
thing just feels over. I can'timagine if they start bringing up his like
his business dealings and corruption, that'show you know when it's really over over,
Yeah, because because you know theyhave that information, but just like
his his cognitive decline, they haven'tbeen covering it. They're just choosing not
to cover it. So if theydecide to go there, but they cook
themselves right right right, that's thething. They're so far into the accomplished

(45:45):
territory that like they're they're indicted aswell, because now you're seeing the stories
coming out of how how you behindthe scenes in the White House, in
the Oval office when you're dealing withBiden how he can be cranky and he
can be mean, and he canhe can snap at people if you bring
up certain stuff. And you've neverseen this before. It was always Uncle
Joe, nice, friendly, honestguy, very happy to be right.

(46:06):
Now that's completely changed. Hey fat, Yeah right, calling somebody fat.
Remember somebody asked him before about hiscognitive decline during the last campaign, and
he called the reporter a crack head. He said, are you a junkie?
Well, to be fair, heknows junkies, that is true.
Yes, So it's a good point. Who do you think does more coke?
Chet Hanks or Hunter Biden? Theyshould have a crack off? What

(46:31):
for the kids? We'll do afundraising better than That'd be better than Paul
versus Tyson. Yes, thank you. You don't want to see who could
do the most crack I mean II don't, and I'm glad that Hanks
is seeking. But if they're gonnado it, at least they should do
it for charity. All the moneycan go to the Dolly Parton Foundation that
irritates the unc loons for the kids, that'll be amazing. Or how about

(46:57):
your own your own organization, Ross, would you to be the beneficiary of
the crackoff at the Hayes Fund orwhatever it is. Oh, this for
the fire robot dog for the children. Oh, we're onto that now.
It happened to the lambo. RememberI I divested the funds. You humbled
yourself, and you're settling for firemurder dogs though for the kids. Yeah,

(47:20):
all right, think about that.We'll be right back. Hang.
There's a story which I remember hearingthis for the first time. Hearing this
story quite a while ago, butabout midway through Trump's presidency in his interaction
with Taliban leadership, and I wasI saw it recirculating because Byron Donald's the

(47:43):
Congress, the congressman from Florida,was on being interviewed by Sage Steele,
and he told that story and itwas clear she hadn't heard it. And
then I saw in line a bunchof people hadn't heard it, which was
wild to me. It's a it'sa pretty amazing story. I remember at
the time too, when when itfirst came out. Uh, you know,
the spin was Donald Trump almost starteda war with the Taliban, who

(48:09):
were, yeah, let's play itfrom your computer because there's no obscenities in
it. He started he's going tostart a war with the Taliban, was
literally a criticism at a time whenwe were at war with the Taliban.
But let me set the scene.So he's relaying Trump literally in person visiting
with the Taliban leadership and explaining tothem, what are what withdraw looks like?

(48:35):
And here we go. Let's let'sget into this. I'll give you
my favorite Trump, my favorite PresidentTrump story. It's my number one favorite
of all time. When we werenegotiating with the Taliban while President Trump was
still the president, President Trump wantedto get out of Afghanistan, but he
wanted a conditions based withdrawal, meaningthat you do what we tell you to
do and then we'll start pulling troopsback slowly as long as you abide by

(48:59):
our rules. It's President Trump andMike Pompeo and they are talking to Taliban
leadership in the room, and theyhad one translator in the room. President
Trump looked at that at the Talibanleader and said this, I want to
leave Afghanistan, but it's going tobe a conditions based withdrawal. And translator
translated and he said, if youharm a hair on a single American,

(49:22):
I'm going to kill you, andthe translator goes, and Trump goes what
I said, reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the
leader, the leader of the ofthe Taliban's home, and handed it to
him, got up and walked outthe room. Do you know for eighteen

(49:44):
months not a single American was killedin Afghanistan. That's the definition of strength,
That's what I'm talking about. Andso you could imagine that kind of
sentiment being around the world. Ifwe have an embassy in another country,
no one's going to touch it becausethey're going to be fearful and they will
get a mo on their head.Yeah, and you know, we've talked
about it here on the show.It's the unpredictability that people would be like,

(50:07):
oh, this is you can't foreignrelations can't operate with unpredictability. Well,
in some instances they can. Becauseif you think that they're going if
if you think that you're going toget run down by military dogs and feasted
upon or get moabbed or any ofthe rest, if you pull any of
that crap it obviously it obviously isimpactful. Donald's is right, We didn't,

(50:30):
Hey, we did, had nocasualties in Afghanistan for eighteen months.
They didn't want to screw with it. They didn't know what he was going
to do, and you know,the narrative was then, oh, he's
trying to start a war, wellwe're technically at war, or you know
what a surprise for us. Theydidn't beef with They're like, can you
believe he turned over top secret informationto the Taliban? That's the narrative you

(50:53):
go with. But yeah, I'vehad a while. The number of people
had never heard that story. Whatan absolute flex though, And you know
you can do that when you havethe resources that we have. Even to
the Taliban, which is obviously froma guerrilla standpoint, he's had been successful
in making things difficult because that Talibanguy knew that Trump would have no problem

(51:16):
health firing missile wherever he's at.He'd already seen it once and he'd see
it again with the Iranian dude.Absolutely, Now, if Joe Biden made
that threat to you, how seriousyou're going to take that? Because you

(51:38):
can pretty much predict what he's goingto do. And so when you're dealing
with not you know, the Francesof the world, or the Switzerland or
any of the rest who would tellyou that, you know, everything is
a parliamentary procedure and that's how weconduct business. Then sure, go ahead

(51:59):
and get Joe Biden in there whereeveryone basically the fix is already in and
they're all slaves to their big oneworld government masters, or at the very
least the idea of that an EUstyle and un run world would be better.
That doesn't work with Taliban dudes.As a friend of mine likes to
say that the world is run bymoney, hot chicks, and brute force.

(52:24):
And that's true, especially when you'redealing with you know, those guys.
That's what they answer to. Idon't want to say it's what the
respect, because I don't care whatthey respect, but it gets it.
That's how they deal with things,and so they if they think that you
have the ability to do the thingsthat they're willing to do to them and

(52:46):
be more effective at it due toyour war chest or your standing in the
world or the amount of jets thatyou have, you start thinking twice about
some of this stuff. So itis a great I guess if you've never
heard it there, it is whatwhat chapter in the Art of the deal
is that one when you're reading theLincoln where you threaten to moab your your

(53:08):
rivals. Because I did read thatbook once. I don't remember it being
in there, but maybe it's amaybe it's a new updated edition. So
there you go. Is the wayto say, is this why you threaten
to bulldoze your friend's house as asize that because you're flexing? It all
makes sense now, that makes perfectsense. All right, let me get

(53:31):
over to this. Oh man,it's some other audio too, and wait
what is this? Oh yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we'll get to it. Chill out, chill out. I mentioned that some
that it is the Great Awakening orwhatever you want to call it, with
with a lot of folks who arewho are realizing that maybe politicians and members

(53:55):
of the media weren't being uh straightwith them and and I think that that
is what they fear most because yeah, sure you lost people who on the
right or however you want to sayit, but you had a lot of
useful idiots that just believed what shesaid. They love that cronkite line and
they believed it. That's the wayit is. Well, that's the way

(54:16):
it is. Rachel Maddow said,that's the way it is. That's the
way it is. And once theyrealize that you're not apt at your job
in most instances, but you're activelycorrupt. Now you're going to start hemorrhaging
people from you know that you previouslydidn't have to worry about. And I

(54:37):
hope folks come to get a betterunderstanding of what is going on versus what
they're being told. However, whenyou're someone like Leah Deliria, there's no
fixing you. You're just you're brokenuntil your ticker gives out. And there's
a lot of folks like this.So she is an actress from Oranges the

(54:58):
New Black, and she is absolutelyone hundred percent in on just being an
insane lunatic over the Supreme Court rulingand and pretty much anything and everything.
But I gotta say she outdid herselfon the social media TikTok yesterday. Done.

(55:20):
I'm done. I'm seriously done.The Supreme Court has pissed me off
so much right now, M likeso much. Joe, You're reasonable man,

(55:44):
you don't want to do this.But here's the reality. This is
a war. This is a warnow, and we are fighting for our
country and these are going to takeit away. They're going to take it
away. You Clarence, uncle Thomas, what Joe, You now have the

(56:04):
right to take that Trump out.Take him out, Joe. If he
was Hitler and this was nineteen forty, you'd take him out. Actually we
wouldn't because in nineteen forty we hadanyway. I don't have to anyway.
Go ahead with your stupid he isHitler and this is nineteen forty, Take
him the out, blow him up, blow him up, or they'll blow

(56:31):
us up. Right, Yeah,I'm sure the first act. I'm sure
Trump's first act in office is totarget your house in Malibu. Just make
it a list. The amount ofpeople like this lunatic and others online who
were like, wow, now thatwe can murder him best, you better
murder him was wild to be yesterday. So and it's drawing a sharp dividing

(56:55):
line I think between people who want, you know, want to understand more
and maybe having done a great jobof really getting to the bottom of the
stuff, versus the we'll call themthe unfixables. There's no fix in that.
That is an angry person, notas angry as you're gonna be when

(57:15):
you read your car thermometer. Herein a couple of days, compliments of
grace staging. Dude, I didthere, I spun Oh oh oh they
took ray out. No, we'reoh there you are right there. Okay
they got you with a jumper,but no, no, not yet.
Yeah, yeah, you're gotta see. You're gonna see numbers between probably ninety

(57:37):
two and ninety let's say, let'ssay ninety eight the next couple of days,
tryad the lower nineties, maybe somemid nineties Tomorrow and Friday, and
then get into the triangle or it'susually a little bit hotter upper nineties with
heated This is over one hundred,probably gonna get slapped with an other heat
advisory. So it's not just gonnabe about that car thermometer temperature, right,

(58:00):
It'll be about what it feels likewith the humidity, and that'll be
very dangerous. Could get hot asone O five with the heat indecks.
So we don't necessarily pay attention towhat's going on with a thermometer, pay
attention to what the due point is, what the humidity is. Not much
rain maybe in here until about I'mgonna go Friday, I mean Thursday night
for the fourth really not there's achance, but it may just a passing

(58:23):
shower. I think Friday some chancesof isolated storms, and over the weekend
chance of showers in the uther stormSaturday Sunday probably the better chances in the
afternoon, but still staying in themid upper ninetyes. Saturday may come down
to the upper eighties to low ninetySunday, and even next week looks a
hot and humid with a chance ofthunderstorms. So the two dry days today
and tomorrow probably the best if you'renot looking for rain. But a lot

(58:45):
of us need rain right now case, so there may be some as we
get at the Friday and the upcomingremainder of the holiday weekend, which I
assume right, it's no Thursday Fridayfor us. Yeah, here on Friday,
are you really Friday? Okay,we'll tell you about this. Yesterday
and you told me my colleagues wereoff, and I mentioned that you and

(59:05):
he disturbed me. So yeah,well, I know at least one.
I know one that's off maybe,so I don't want to get home.
Who's going to be there on Friday. I don't know if Miami is I
know Marks, no, no,no, no, no. For you
guys. Oh Jeff, Jeff Marks, Oh poor Jeff already drew the short
stick, all right, but youcan make it rain. But I'm going

(59:27):
to keep Florida relatively because the amountof amazing stories that emulate from Florida on
Fourth of July weekend, like thereare there's probably a dozen people in the
state of Florida who aren't gonna beable to count to ten anymore, right
with their fad? This is true, Yeah, and I don't want to
be robbed of that, So keepit up. I don't believe me.
All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it, and we'll be right

(59:47):
back. Hang on. So,NBC has an article out about the the
growth and expansion of lg EBT foods. What is is entitled what is Queer
Food? We asked LGBT foodies andchefs to define it. There is a
growing queer food movement, and I'mreally confused as to what this is,

(01:00:15):
Like, what is what well,I'm sorry, what are foods that are
inherently gay? Like this sounds likethis sounds like high school kids making fun
of gay people put into an NBCNews article. It's so weird and it
is absolutely there's very few examples ofwhich foods. So basically, if I

(01:00:37):
understand this is is food made byor consumed by people who are LGBTQ.
So food people who have uh oh, who have traditionally been marginalized and excluded
from fine dining spaces. You're tellingkeep in mind, where are the fine

(01:01:01):
dining meccas, the top restaurants generallylocated in this country Bay Area, Los
Angeles, New York. I don'tbelieve people are being discriminated from Spago at
this moment or the French Laundry.In fact, organizers have now put together

(01:01:27):
an annual Queer Food conference at BostonUniversity. All right, So, from
what I can tell from the article, when they go chef to chef is
like I assume this was like food, you know, different dishes that emulated
from LGBTQ, like bars, restaurants, things like that. But it's not

(01:01:50):
even that, all right, Sovodka, SODA's, sourdough, bread,
and soup are the three examples thatI can actually extract from here. A
weird article. Man, I guessI just kind of assumed that you know,
whoever, whoever you're on a datewith or going home to sleep with.

(01:02:14):
Probably you just you want good food. I don't. Also, I
think it's funny because there is asplinter group. Oh and pot brownies.
That's right, How strange, man, there's a splinter group. The lgbt
Q queer food movement also is involvedin the feminist food movement. What's feminist

(01:02:44):
food? They would have to goin the kitchen to cook it, wouldn't
they. I would feel like that'smore exclusive. Right. You get you
get a bunch of like rabid feministsand you're like, oh, what's on
the menu? And they're like,wow, you assume we're gonna make something
like it shouldn't exist feasibly because it'ssomebody not being true to themselves. Or

(01:03:06):
maybe I'm misunderstanding. Yeah, whata strange article for like no reason.
Let me tell you this though,I did see something I would try.
So you know, some people don'tlike they don't do bread, right.
You probably know somebody who doesn't eatthe bread. So the alternative if you
go to get a sandwich or aburger or whatever, right, lettuce?

(01:03:28):
Right, we use the lettuce.Well, apparently now restaurants or some sandwich
places are buying giant half dilled picklesand then they cut the pickle in half,
they kind of scoop out, andthen they make the sandwich in that
and it's not like the full dealbecause it would be kind of overwhelming,

(01:03:50):
but it has that flavor. Idon't know, man, I like pickle.
I'd probably eat this. You know, there's things that on an annual
basis tend to pop up around theFourth of July holiday, people doing dumb
stuff with fireworks or whatever Florida bandsup to this weekend. But also I

(01:04:11):
have to read these diatribes by peoplegoing to I'm not celebrating Fourth of July
this week, and some of ithas to do with race, some of
it has to do with feminist stuff, and it's all really really just it's
I'm over it and I haven't seenit this year. I want to.
I want to bring our guest in, Mark Robinson, lieutenant governor also gubernatorio

(01:04:33):
candidate. Yeah. Every year,man, I got to hear how much
everyone hates on America, And forwhatever reason, I haven't read a lot
of those this year. So Idon't know if everyone's brain's broke from the
debate. But what do you whatdo you think, Mark? How you
doing. I'm doing good. Howare you doing, Casey? I probably
read a why I have a reallot of that because I don't really breathe

(01:04:55):
too much on social media anymore.I just, you know, have all
the things that I do. ButI haven't heard a lot of that chatte
I feel that's good. Yeah,you usually some hollyway in the giant house.
That's right. We've been extremely blessedby the blessings of America and the
gifts of America and so and thenthey want to go around demonize America,

(01:05:16):
which is very confounded. I thinkpeople are kind of catching on that narrative
right now, the average ordinary citizenscatching on to the fact that some of
these people, with everything available tothem, that they try to demonize the
country, and folks are starting topush back against that. So they're trying
to rethink their strategy. I think, yeah, you know what's crazy too,

(01:05:38):
is then the disingenuous argument is,oh, well, you think America
is perfect? No, no,But what I think is perfect is the
mechanisms built into the system to fixthings right. That's you know, you
see the New York Times headline,what is this, uh, absolute lunacy?
Just the first here we go.The First Amendment is out of control,

(01:06:00):
Mark Robinson, do you think theFirst Amendment is out of control?
No, the First Amendment is notout of control. What's out of control
are the people who want to limitthe First Amendment. Unfortunately, in a
lot of those people are in greatpositions of power, and they're wielding that
power to try to limit people's freespeech. You notice, you know,
you can have the most radical dictatoron Some of the most radical dictators on

(01:06:23):
earth have come and spoke, cometo be speakers at some of our university
campuses. But when the candidth Owensor Mark Robinson or Thomas soul steps under
that campus, all of a sudden, you see these these lunatics out protesting.
And they're the same people who saythey won't open an honest dialogue.
I'm so tired of people on theleft saying opening eyes, honest dialogue.

(01:06:45):
What they want is an affirmation oftheir beliefs. They don't want open an
eye, honest dialogue. I won'topen an honest dialogue. I want you
to speak your mind. I wantto know who you are. I want
to know who you where you stand, and I respect you for it.
But I expect a free society thatI should be able to say why I
disagree with you, and be ableto stake my case on why I believe

(01:07:05):
as I believe. Unfortunately, thereare folks in our society that don't want
that to happen. Yeah, didyou see the incident in Nashville the three
individuals who showed up to the anarchistbook club Mark, does that sound like
a fun place the anarchist? Ohyeah, that sounds like that, sounds
like loads of fund Yeah, andthey physically get attacked over the quote Zionist

(01:07:28):
filming. We have a we havethe hood is off man when it comes
to some of the anti Jewish stuff, but also it's also a bit of
anti right stuff. But in acity in North Carolina, seventy individuals stood
around and either helped assault or watchthese three being assaulted, including an eighty

(01:07:50):
year old cancer stricken navy vet.Wow, what do we do about this?
As I saw your opponent in thehe tweeted something out about how this
is unacceptable. How do we purgethis nastiness in the same way that we
strove to purge you know, historicracism in the in post Civil Wars,

(01:08:14):
South North and everywhere else, like, why isn't this a goal we can
work towards. Well, you knowhow we purge it is we get serious
about it. We don't put outa tweet about it being unacceptable. What
you do about it as the attorneygeneral is you find those people and you
make an example out of them,and you make an example out of them.
Because we've seen this movie before,Casey, We've seen it. You
know that old saying those who forgethistory are doomed to repeat it. We

(01:08:36):
haven't even forgotten history. We're justrepeating it knowing what we know. You
don't put out a tweet as theattorney general and state duc's unacceptable. You
go after the people who did it. Now, Josh Stein went after the
people on January sixth. He putup a billboard saying, if you know
people who went report him to ouroffice. He went after those people.

(01:08:57):
Why is he not going after thesepeople on these college campus who are violently
attacking and threatening these Jewish students.Why is he not doing it? He
needs to answer for that. Atweet is not good enough in his position.
If he was a private Sensen,sure tweet might be good enough,
But at the top comp in thisstate. He needs to make a demonstrative
statement by saying, we're going toAsheville, We're gonna find these people,

(01:09:19):
and we're gonna arrest them, andwe're gonna hold them accountable. So obviously
you're aware, and I think everyone'saware that if you cobble together the debate
into Friday and the Supreme Court rulings, it was arguably the worst day for
North Carolina Democrats since appomatics. Probably, sure, let's start with the debate.

(01:09:40):
Did you watch it? Your thoughts? I had to catch the rerun,
but I'm gonna tell you what youknow. I'd like to say that
I was happy about the performance ofJoe Biden Dave, but I'm not Casey.
I was embarrassed, and I wasn'tnecessarily embarrassed for him. I'm embarrassed
for America, the great, thiscountry on Earth. You know, that's

(01:10:01):
the person we have at the helm. We have an incapacitated man at the
helm of our country, a personwho clearly is not he's he's not capable
of he's not capable of carrying outhis daily activities, and that is that's
just that's plain and stuff. Butwe can clearly see that, and he's
running the most powerful country on earth. It's very embarrassing in front of our

(01:10:25):
in front of our allies, andit's dangerous in front of our enemies.
And we've got to do something aboutit. In November. We've got to
do something about it. November.We've got to change course in this country.
Almost four years ago this country,we ended up electing the worst president
in our history, hands down.In November. If we don't change course

(01:10:46):
and go in a different direction,I shouldn't think where this country will be
head in the next four years.You know. Obviously Biden's getting most of
the attention considering all of the falloutthat's happening. But what I found the
interest and I see you labeled becauseyou and Trump are getting labeled together.
You both want to end abortion andjail women or something. I keep hearing

(01:11:06):
that. But what what Trump didis something that I've heard you criticized about
and Trump, and that is sometimesyou got to do the Napoleon thing when
your enemy is making errors, standback and let them. And people will
say, well, you know Mark, maybe Mark is too boisterous, sometimes
he's too loud, and they'll sayit about Trump, and I think Trump

(01:11:29):
has done a very good job justkind of sitting back and letting it happen.
And that seems different. So one, do you think that that's a
fair criticism or labeling of you?And and two, how does that strategy
instruct perhaps maybe how the campaign's goingto go for you when you and Josh

(01:11:50):
Stein are on stage. Well,the bottom line is this, you know
what Josh Diine wants to talk about. Josh Diin wants to talk about Facebook
post from fifteen years ago. JoshStein wants to speculate about what's in my
mind when it comes to different issues. Jostin Stine wants to ignore the fact
that I don't make the decision onwhat happens in abortion in this state that

(01:12:10):
state. That decision is made bythe people, by their representatives one hundred
and twenty House members and fifty senators. That's where that decision comes in,
and we have to take everybody's positioninto account when we're making those decisions.
He thinks that I want to bea dictator like Roy Cooper. He thinks
that I want to be a dictatoralong the lines of the way she would
to run everything by agenda instead ofrunning things by actual policies and the way

(01:12:33):
that they work. So Casey,the thing that for us it has been
simple. We're going out and we'retalking to people about the things that matter
to them right now and the thingsthat really matter to people. We're talking
to people out on the streets thethings that matter, things that matter on
the economy and all the associated thingspublic safety, public education, healthcare,

(01:12:54):
infrastructure, housing, and we talkto people about that big piece inside of
that, which is educator itself.We're talking about the substantive issues and how
we can take those tackle those substantiveissues to take North Carolina and make her
great for every single solitary person inthis state and coming up with great solutions.
Josh Diin's he wants to stick withall this to the facial little stuff

(01:13:15):
that's talking about all these social issuesand again talking about fifteen year old Facebook
posts. Folks who are worried abouttheir job going to Mexico or China,
Folks who are worried about being ableto keep their businesses open, Folks who
are worried about their children at safetyat school or what they're learning at school.
Don't give a hooton hates what MarkRobinson said on Facebook twenty years ago

(01:13:38):
what they care about of those issues, and our campaign and our administration will
be laser focused on the things thatthey care about. It wasn't just the
debate. Obviously, you had threebig support of Supreme Court rulings on Friday
and then on Monday. Apparently nowTrump can execute his political opponents. That
everyone's losing their collective minds. ButI think the one that is going to

(01:13:59):
be most impactful is the Chevron decisionbasically hamstringing the ability of micromanaging by unelected
officials. How big and impactful doyou think that is? And let's say
you are elected governor. Lawsuits aregoing to have to go forward to dismantle
some of this stuff. And thisone was based on basically bastardizing the fishing

(01:14:21):
industry. That's a good about thecase. That has been a struggle in
North Carolina as well. So howproactive could you as governor be in fast
tracking some of the wind down ofgovernment federal government overreach? Oh, we
talk about all the time, Casey. The key here is putting the right
people in the right positions, thefolks who share our vision to make sure

(01:14:44):
we get rid of senseless regulations,to make sure that we get rid of
industry killing regulations, to make surethat the climate change folks are not calling
all the shots. I like tosee it like this, casey. The
climate change folks, they're welcome tothe party, but they're not going to
pick all the new and they're notgoing to tell us how to dance.
We're going to do things by commonsense. We're going to do things by

(01:15:05):
real science, and we're going tolean on the people inside that industry that
know how to keep it strong andsuccessful. It's all about getting the right
people at the helm and those agencies. You get the right people in those
helms at the agencies, you getto back up that they need in the
legislature and in other places, andwe can get those things turned around quick
fast and in a hurry. Whatyou know, one of the I think

(01:15:26):
more popular pledges that Trump made,and and I don't remember the exact number,
but it was basically for every newregulation, we're going to get rid
of three And then I think thatnumber actually did. Yeah. So is
that something that Mark Robinson thinks isdoable? Absolutely, we think all options
are on the table. The shrinkgovernment because that's our goal. Our goal

(01:15:47):
is the strinth shrink government, makeit more efficient, make it more make
it based on solid science and commonsense, because we want the government to
be as small as possible, becausewe believe the smaller you make government,
the greater the bigger you make thepeople, and the bigger you make the
people, the better you're going tomake. This stake. The fallout from

(01:16:08):
all of this, and I justwanted to get everything on the table is
there are people who I think justyou know, just went along to get
along, man, just saw whatwas going on and decided that now they're
they're totally telling me the truth.One of the things that is not getting
the discussion that it should is thisis a virtual unmasking of Washington politicians and

(01:16:30):
the media and their willingness to lieto you, because now you can see
the evidence without having to read throughdossier's and everything else. And the practical
effect is there is a lot ofconcern on the left by fundraising and down
ballot races. You've been identified asone of the candidates and what is the
premier governor's race. How does thatmake you feel? And how do I

(01:16:53):
mean, do you do you takethat for granted, is that what you're
seeing spill the spill the behind thescenes. How do you how do you
approach hearing that? Well, youknow, we we we knew it from
the very beginning. We knew thatthe dynamics that we bought to this race
was gonna cause us to be onlike on the national stage, and uh,
we've been ready for that the entiretime. It really hasn't changed how

(01:17:15):
we've operated too much. Certainly haschanged some of the uh, some of
the steers that we operate in,but our message has remained the same largely.
But we knew from the very beginningthat this race was gonna be uh
a national race. It was gonnabe a huge race, and it's gonna
be an all eyes on race,simp before the dynamics that it brings,

(01:17:36):
the historical context that it brings.You know, being the first black lieutenant
governor, of course was a hugesteal, but being the first black governor
of North Carolina brings an aspect tothis race, and of course it's gonna
put eyes on it. Uh,the match up between myself and Josh Stein
and how polar opposites we actually are, it's gonna put eyes on it.

(01:17:59):
And then there's just this struggle rightnow in this country the far left and
yeah, actually the far left andthe right, because what you're seeing on
the left down is you're seeing themoderate voices in the left being shoved out.
The far left rules the party.Now some folks might say the far
right rules our party, but youcan see here in North Carolina that is
not necessarily true. On the rightside of the aisle is full of has

(01:18:25):
a broad spectrum of opinion in it. That left side of the aisle is
really dominated by that far left,and so the far left are taking on
the right. You can see howthat dynamic is playing out all across the
country, and in this rights wherethe road to the White House goes right
through, all rights can't help butbe nationalized and be an all eyes on

(01:18:48):
ways. Right. But do youthink in the last question, but do
you think it's going to be easierbecause most pundits would sit there and tell
you what happened with that debate isgoing to make things easier for Republicans down
ballot? Is that what you thinkis that? What you think is people
have people have said that, andtons of people have said that to us

(01:19:09):
directly that after the debate it's over. Blah blah blah blah blah. But
we take absolutely nothing for granted.We wouldn't care if we felt like if
we were forty five points up,we're still gonna continue to play like we're
ten points down. So we're nottaking anything for granted. Case. We
don't take anything for granted because youknow, four months is a long time
inside of politics, and anything canhappen and things can shift. So we

(01:19:31):
need to just keep our foot onthe gas, keep delivering that great message,
and keep believing that if we continueto do the right thing that we're
gonna get things done along steam.All right, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson,
also gubernatorial candidate. I appreciate it. You have yourself a wonderful fourth of
July, sir. Okay, absolutelyhappy, independent paid everybody out there,
all right, and we're going totake a break. We'll come back.

(01:19:55):
You want to weigh in on anyof that stuff. Oh Truss just sent
me this tweet. Oh really theyhave a plan. Huh. Oh they
got a playd Oh. That's goodman. The pivoting going on at the
White House is crazy, all right. I'll share this with you coming up
next here on the CaCO Day radioprogram. Hang on, grocery costs are
too high for families across the country. We have a plan to tackle it.

(01:20:16):
So they tweeted this out this morning. If you remember, you got
a little bit of this around SuperBowl when the President was like, ah,
why is there too few pringles inhere? Or whatever? And the
White House theory is that all ofthe food producers are in on it,
the grocers are in on it,and they get they get together in a

(01:20:40):
cigar filled, smoke filled cigar roomsomewhere and laugh maniacally while you know,
agreeing to all raise prices. Andif they all do it, then you
know there's nothing you can do aboutit. And don't get me wrong,
you know, the fact is thatit's really wild to watch, excuse me

(01:21:02):
to watch food prices, food sizesand all of that in the different ways
that companies adapt. But to simplysay that they're all in on it and
they're just doing it to do itis to ignore many of the contributing factors,
and they could be a variety ofthings. Sure, yeah, it
could be corporate greed out there insome instances. You know, you know

(01:21:28):
there's some things where only one companyreally produces a lot of those things,
but it also provides opportunity perhaps forsomebody to get in the market. But
I think what more strongly needs tobe looked at, or at least should
be questioned, is, Okay,let's step back from the idea that they're
just all in a room planning this. What has led to the increase and

(01:21:49):
the supplies that go into many ofthe foods? Is it government regulations?
Is it? You know, sometimethere are protectionist measures put in and I
don't just mean tariffs, like whereyou know, one of the things that
they constantly are doing over in Europe, and then generally US companies have to

(01:22:12):
abide or risk not being able todo business is they'll identify types of food
that can only be produced if itwould only be called this thing if it's
produced in this area. Most peoplethink of like port wine or champagne as
the examples, because those are thebig ones out there. But I would
warn you that there are tons ofit, and more official than that,

(01:22:36):
it can only be bourbon if it'sin this particular county, which is not
true by the way. It hasto do with the way that it's produced
in the barrels, but where itgeographically excludes competitions. So what I'm saying
is there's death by a thousand cuts. But no, the White House plan
is to partner with state's attorney generalsto take on price gouging, which this

(01:22:59):
is. Look, Rothstein's favorite thingis to sue companies, and it is
a mechanism of the office, butit's seeming like the only thing, and
they're easy wins where he can putout a thing and like, I've just
secured forty million dollars towards whatever fromthis evil vape company or whatever it is.
And I'm not saying that attorney generalsdon't have that's not something that's in

(01:23:23):
their arsenal of things to do,but would when it becomes your only thing
and it's all of one ideology goingafter one thing all at the same time,
you know what it really really NorthCarolina is to blame. I think
that John Edwards and the cigarette stuffwas so wildly effective that it's now all

(01:23:45):
they see and they feel like that'swhen they're doing their job. So that's
of course what the administration wants moreof too. Call on grocery chains to
lower costs, So what and thenwhat do you just wanted to take a
loss? If that's what's there,provide low income families with two thousand dollars

(01:24:10):
more. I'm assuming this is annuallyfor groceries by improving snap and launching something
called summer EBT. So some aerEBT would be if you have kids and
normally they avail themselves of the variousdining programs during the summer, that cost
goes up. Even though it wasmy understanding that EBT that was allocated to

(01:24:33):
a family of four is allocated asthough they are not receiving outside assistance.
So anything they are getting assistance on, you know, even if it's school
lunch, should free up more.But no, the obviously the solution is
to throw more money at it.So yeah, that's their plan, that's

(01:24:57):
what they're gonna do. And I'llgive you an example of when this hits
a breaking point. Do you guysremember the absolute meltdown in Greece? Uh
this is pre COVID, right,just a few years before COVID. Do
you remember the absolute pandemonium meltdown inGreece? You saw it Cyprus, then
you saw it. It was itwas like fire. And if you remember,
yeah, if you remember, whatwas it a military coup that caused

(01:25:19):
that? Let's see, was itwere they trying to destroy the ancient ruins?
No, if I remember correctly,they were like, hey, you
guys are gonna have to work afew extra years for the retirement. And
they were like, nah, youpromised us we could retire at this age.
We're not working for you know,a few more years, and now
we're going to burn everything down.Yeah, that's what it was. Thanks
for reminding us. Yeah, Andit was the retirement age. It's like

(01:25:41):
what fifty or something. It wascrazy low. And so they implemented what
they called austerity measures and people absolutelylost their minds. It was it was
as though the Spartan showed back upright in the city of Athens. They
were they were losing their minds.And for those of you who have ever
spent any time over in Europe,it's I you know, a way I

(01:26:02):
respect it, but also to theextent that it is taken within some of
the European cultures, it's not helpfulin driving growth when you need growth,
okay, And that is the attitudethat many Europeans have about work like.
What I think is helpful is theydon't allow it to control their lives in

(01:26:26):
many instances, and I think thatsometimes here in the US, for very
unhealthy reasons, we do allow it, but most people see it as a
price to pay for the upside.And the upside is the United States has
been at the forefront for every evolutionand revolution within technology, growth in business
imaginable since its inception. And oncewe entered, once we entered into where

(01:26:53):
we you know, we started havingelectricity, it just took off. Man,
whether it's from flight, whether itis most every innovation within the world
of tech, the Internet, youname it. The US has been at
the forefront. And there's good thatcomes with that and the bad. The
problem is when you know you're ina country like Greece or there's very low

(01:27:16):
priority put on it, it canbe more relaxing. But if you need
growth and you have been mired ina bad economy for over a decade,
you got something's got to give.So Greece has announced you're ready for this
as a new growth oriented initia,initiation a six day work week. How

(01:27:41):
do you think that's gonna go overin Greece? But they're like, hey,
we have to do something because oureconomy never really recovered from that and
we sold a bunch of problems andnobody's producing anything. So now it won't
be all workers, but we'll focuson and let's see year. They have

(01:28:02):
a very specific Yeah, here wego. It will be applied to private
businesses, so not government workers.It's weird, huh. Only apply to
private businesses, and those need tobe businesses that provide they say round the

(01:28:26):
clock services, but basically they meanregular services. So even if you're in
a production capacity, if it's somethingthat is regularly expected to be a grocery
store shelves, then this would impactyou. Let's see, however, businesses
can slice it any way they want. They can either have a six work

(01:28:46):
day, or they can simply tackan additional two hours a day onto a
standard eight hour shift, and theywill have to pay forty percent premium for
these extra hours. So you dohave to work an extra day, but
you're making forty percent above and beyondwhat your normal paycheck is. And it
does this not be a received well, but yeah, those are extraordinary measures

(01:29:12):
that they have to take that youknow, you just the solution in a
lot of European countries now is togo to four day work weeks. So
they're going in the exact opposite direction. That is wild all right, eight
forty four race stage ach here.So the country of Greece is implementing a
six day work week. Yeah,no things, Yeah, I hope.

(01:29:35):
Well how long are they eight hourdays? So you can do it.
You can either have an additional dayor you can add two hours to your
Monday through Friday workday to get it. To get that additional eight hours,
and they will be required to paythem a forty percent overtime premium. I
like that part of it. Well, yeah, because they're sitting there.

(01:29:56):
Greece has been the financial crisis inGreece has been going on ten years,
right rememb when they were buying Greeceto the ground. So now you you
can't recover if you don't have anygrowth, man, Yeah, that's true.
This is this is where they are. So see I was going in
the other direction with the four tens. I could do that. Yeah,
five tens or six eighths, that'sthat's where it is. But not government

(01:30:20):
workers five tens or six eight,five ten. You'd still get paid on
the five tens the additional Yeah,so whatever, that two hours two hours
a day would be at one hundredand forty. So yeah, I could
do that in the sixth day.I don't want to commit to Yeah,
well, that's why they give thema choice or something. I don't know,
man choice. But so let's let'ssay that you are the poor bastard

(01:30:44):
who has to work Saturday, notgoing to be any more pleasant, might
as well be inside, Yeah,I might as well if it is an
indoor gig, right, construction workers, anybody working outdoors uncomfortable and dangerously hot
weather returning now, the heat advisoriesfor now have extended as far east as

(01:31:08):
let me not get the wrong informationto you here, as far east as
part of northeast Georgia. Yeah,it's northeast Georgia, so not yet into
the Carolinas. My guess is thatmaybe tomorrow will be expanded into the triangle
into Friday. That's when the hotteststepperatures are going to be. As we're
gonna watch these numbers be in theupper eighties, low nineties today, probably

(01:31:29):
mid upper nineties tomorrow. The triadmay stay in the low nineties, but
still increasing humidity and heat and diseaseat a low one hundred so the fourth
but not much of the way ofrain around. There could be a pop
up shower at night, but otherthan that, the better rain chances will
come for Friday again, mid uppernineties for most, low one hundred head
and decease ants a shower, stuttershowers scaded around for the ranger of the
holiday weekend. Now it's gonna staystill in that mid upper ninety degree range

(01:31:53):
for the triangle, low nineties forthe Triad, but again the heat and
disease are going to be dangerously warmedto between one hundred one five. Now,
if you are heading to the beachesfor the holiday weekend, we don't
have to worry about barrel. Soif anybody hasn't been paying attention, it's
been records setting all kinds of earlyseason records for barrel now bearing down on

(01:32:14):
Jamaica, could head into the Yukaten eventually maybe the Texas coast, but
for us here on the East coast, no threat there. There's another invest
area back behind that that's got alow chance development. But just that reminder
that we are in now the beginningof the hurricane season into month two,
and things I've been fairly active overthe past couple of weeks, but nothing
impact the outer banks, the SouthCarolina beaches, even up towards Virginia Beach

(01:32:39):
and the Delaware beaches. And ifyou're going as far north as Jersey,
things will cut up there too.Okay, all right, Now the naked
swinger leathery skin weirdos at the Heatonismresorts, are they imperiled or uh yeah,
I think so? Oh yeah,okay, yeah, very careful down
there. A lot of wind blownaround. Yeah, you know, when

(01:32:59):
thing's blown in the wind. Soall right, thank you, sir,
appreciate it. All right, therewe go, well, and Jeff Bellinger
