Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome. It is Tuesday, anduh, the the the insanity that is
this week is it's not going anywhere. We're gonna, We're gonna, We're
gonna keep doing this just uh,I like I tweeted over the weekend,
it's just it's news via fire hose. Try to drink man, And yesterday

(00:23):
was no different. Obviously you hadcontinued unfolding of what transpired Saturday in Pennsylvania.
Butler, Pa, you have asteady stream of stories where you know,
nowadays you just you gotta do youryou gotta put in the work man,
You gotta do your due diligence.You gotta look at stuff. It

(00:45):
goes that true? Is that nottrue? There's you know, there's there's
like stories from random Twitter accounts.Oh, Donald Trump came by with his
ear bandaged and I made this perfectlytime pun right. What's true? Finding
out more about the the shooter andthe background and the motivation or the lack
of motivation, the lack of normalthings that a twenty year old has,

(01:11):
and then you just try to verifyit to the best of your ability.
The RNC is going on. AmberRose spoke. If you don't know what
an amber Rose is you should checkthat out, but you should do it
with the safe search on. I'mreading that a fifty cent. Yes,

(01:33):
I've said it like that is liketrying to get a concert permit for the
rn C. And here comes Trumpwith his bandage to your man, Lee
Greenwood blasted in the background, hisown damn son tear it up, the
very same son who just obliterated anMSNBC reporter who thought, hey, you

(01:55):
know what, why don't I goup and ask his sons about caged kids.
That'll be fun. CNN panels sittingthere and going but Trump, but
Trump, when their own standard forlanguage is pointed out that it may have
been utilized by the current president.I gotta I gotta watch with their with

(02:17):
the exception of their one token Republicanwho will last like six months before he
figures out all his coworkers hate himand then they have to go get a
new one. Sitting there getting yelledat by Van Jones. So for you
know, for all the normal stuff, there's so much abnormal stuff, and
then we get a VP pick ontop of it, and a bunch of

(02:40):
the really really really hardcore like isolationistRepublicans are not happy so you have a
little bit of internal fighting there justwild just try and just try and keep
up with all of it, andthen you know, we get that,

(03:01):
we get the boogeyman's in there.And I think sometimes people are are mentally
like they're they're like trained to rejectsome of that stuff because there is so
much conspiratorial stuff out there. Anddon't get me wrong, I love me
some conspiratorial stuff. But every nowand then you just gotta you get to

(03:23):
kind of all right, there'll betime for that later. Let me try
to, uh, let me tryto figure out what's going on through the
filter of what I can actually prove. And then it turns out the conspiratorial
stuff is true, not all ofit, not the not the heart thing
and all that. I mean,maybe I don't know, but but like
the Blackrock stuff, how many ofyou heard the Blackrock stuff, which is,

(03:47):
you know, Blackrock is the KochBrothers is, the Soros is the
you know, the the one wordthing that's meant to strike fear because of
their manipulation of politics and life andeverything else. They don't get me wrong,
They're absolutely one hundred percent doing it. When you're sitting on that kind

(04:11):
of money, and you have thatkind of influence that you can, among
other things, force companies into thisweird DEI score thing, so they that
they go out they do things theywouldn't normally do because if they don't have
a good enough score, they can'tuse they can't get access to like flex
capital, which is the lifeblood ofa lot of businesses. If you're a

(04:34):
business that has big ups and downsin your revenue, and that's a lot
of businesses, and it doesn't makethem unhealthy businesses or bad businesses, it
makes them seasonal. Well, theywork, don't stop during the non season,
and you need access to floating capital. You'd be surprised which companies essentially

(05:00):
or cash poor all the time andavail themselves of funds to operate during the
down months and then when you know, when it's high cotton, then they're
paying off those and maybe doing someshareholder stuff and rids and repeat, will
do it in another year. Sothe idea that you know, big big,

(05:23):
these big equity firms have created ascenario that if you don't dance to
their tune, you wouldn't be eligibleforces the hand of companies to go out
and do things like, how wesee how many DEI points can we get
for this these training seminars telling everyonethat they're bad inherently because of the color
of their skin, which is literallythe thing that I thought we were working

(05:45):
against. Oh we get six points, sign me up. So yeah.
People then assign boogeyman motives to companieslike that. So when I'm sitting there
and I'm hearing that the shooter wasin an ad for Blackrock, that sounds
it. That sounds nuts, doesn'tit, Like, come on, man,
make up something that's believable. Well, yeah, I wish it was

(06:14):
nuts. I wish the whole thingwas crazy, because, uh you know
what, Yeah, thank you,crazy lady doing whatever that is in her
chair. We love playing the dropfrom him. Thank you. She understands,
she gets it. Earn her mom, crazy mom. If you don't

(06:34):
know what that drop is. Thatis still one of my favorite psychotic Moonbat
videos ever. And it's this motherand daughter sitting in like chairs in their
yard in Florida, doing like Newage yoga, talking about how it'd just
be great if we greased everybody,but like maybe a billion people, just

(07:00):
like super hippie dippy mom daughter andthe whole time they're doing like sitting yoga.
I don't even know how to describeit, but you know, it's
like, oh, it's so great. It's so peaceful. I feel so
zen out here. You know,it'd be great if six billion people were
eliminated, right My mom, Mom'slike, yeah, you know, we

(07:23):
should do is this thing? Andthe daughter's like, yeah, yeah,
that is true. She works withhorses, oldies. But good man,
it's just the nostalgia of some ofthis stuff. But no, if you

(07:45):
go back and you look at aBlack Rock commercial which the company is now
pulled, that was actively running.Now, the ad wasn't about him,
who was a student at the timeit was filmed. The ad featured a
teacher from Bethel High School. Sothey did one of those things like we're

(08:05):
Black Rocket, even though we're corporatemonsters. Let's here's a bunch of feel
good things that we're investing in.Here's some teachers in the public school.
Look at that guy. Look atthat he's writing stuff on the board.
Look at his students. They're payingattention. And one of the students in
the shot is front and center.Is the is the shooter? Man?

(08:33):
I mean, it's a happy coincidencethere or unhappy I guess. I look
at it, but that's wild.And he's also the only twenty year old
apparently without social media of any sort. I loathe social media. I want
nothing to do with it. Idon't have a choice. But I went

(08:54):
to my program director and said,hey, I'm not doing We're not doing
any more social media. I feellike they would be an issue because we
utilize it now. Granted that's ina business setting. It's but how are
you a twenty year old? Admittedly, I guess I don't understand John Alpha
whatever whatever that is, Like,how do you function without any social media?

(09:20):
That's wild to me, especially ifyou're somebody who's got some thoughts on
some stuff. Then you have thethen you have like the Inauguration Day Act
blue Joe Biden donation coupled with avery recent Republican voting registration, And I

(09:41):
understand why people are like, Ihave some I have some theories. I
have some thoughts and some theories becausewhat are you supposed to make of all
of that? Of course, ofcourse people are going to go there.
Do you blame them? Because everything'sthat's everything, every bit of that sounds
so weird and so unusual and sonot with you. What you would if

(10:03):
you just grab a random twenty yearold right now and look for their their
their footprint online. I don't know, as you find one that clear,
and sometimes it's you have a footprint, and it isn't the big ones.
It isn't because you have a Twitteror an Instagram or something, but rather

(10:24):
because you have you know, youplay online video games and you have an
account, or you have you haveone through how many accounts do you think
you have floating around out there?Things you've signed up for, you've provided
some semblance of private information. It'sI don't know that you could calculate that

(10:45):
for most people. And that's what'sterrifying, because you get a breach and
something could be breached with your infothat you don't even remember you have.
And I don't have any of iton this dude and he's in a black
Rock commercial. I understand why peopleare freaking out. And it would probably

(11:07):
it would probably pay big dividends notto hold all of the details of the
investigation so close to your chest wouldbe my recommendation. You have questions about
secret Service, You have questions aboutthe agents that were assigned to to UH
to Trump, which I don't knowis necessarily fair if you look at it

(11:31):
in totality, it's fair. Butyou know, the people who are the
who are the body people for Trump. It sounds like the Trump family and
I've I've heard interviews and you know, the the sons were talking about this
yesterday. They seem to have greataffection and affinity for them. But that

(11:58):
doesn't negate the pack what they're calling. And I think it's accurate. The
PAC band perimeter. I don't knowif you've seen the graphic. It's a
circle, right, it's a it'sa circle around the stage where Trump is
speaking, but there's a carve outand it looks like it looks like a

(12:18):
piece of pizza removed from a pizza, right, And in that carve out
sits this building. And so theresult, and I know you could visualize
it, it looks like a PACman that was outside the security perimeter.
That that isn't necessarily nefarious. Thesethings are almost never a perfect circle.

(12:39):
But it dips in there, italmost dips in closer to the stage than
the Overwatch Secret Service stipers were.And then you have this you have reporting
that it may not have been threeminutes or four minutes from the time that

(13:01):
law enforcement was made aware of thisindividual up on this rooftop. There's video
where you hear people talk about it, and you see him repositioning himself.
He stands up from a prone position, moves or shimmys or does something you
can't tell exactly what he's doing,and then lays back down ready to fire

(13:26):
off those shots. Local news isreporting that there may have been an indicator
of thirty minutes or a time spanof thirty minutes where he may have been
noticed. Now, the timeline fromwhen it was noticed to when law enforcement

(13:48):
was made aware, there's a lothinging on that. Who was told,
how did they choose to deal withit. I saw some people speculating that
the sniper actually laid one of thesecrets of snipers, may have laid eyes
on on this dude, and ifit, I don't know what the thought

(14:11):
did they think? Maybe somebody justclimbed up there to see Trump. Possibly,
But again, he's out in theopen, he's on a roof,
so he's elevated, so if you'restanding in the parking lot, you can't
see what is in his hands,but feasibly those overwatched snipers would have had
line of sight. They're actually they'reactually at a slightly higher elevation. So

(14:37):
people are going to be conspiratorial becauseeverything sounds insane. Everything sounds like something
where you go that doesn't comport withmy understanding of how this works. This
is why I spend so much timeon the distance yesterday. It's really hard

(14:58):
to wrap your head around that.With every every thought and every piece of
entertainment, which shouldn't instruct your entireworldview, but for everything Hollywood gets wrong,
there's a lot of stuff that's probablyit's pretty close. We've all been
there where we've seen a movie thatdeals with subject matter that we know a
lot about. Being a radio guy, watching people being on the radio in

(15:24):
pop culture and movies or TV ismaddening. Sometimes I can't tell you the
number of times I've seen a radioDJ in a booth and I can see
the board and it's clear that theydo not have the pot open, right,
they don't have the bike pot on. Anyway, we got a lot
to get to tell you that,I just look at it. I'm just

(15:46):
I'm running my mouth because there's somuch there's so much happening that we have
to try to figure out, andthere's all of these oddities. So yes,
people are going to speculate, whichis why you need to have a
group of adults in the room,right, and you need to have them
be consistent and trustworthy so that peoplehave confidence that even when things feel word

(16:11):
feel weird, they're gonna get answers. All right, hang on, welcome
back. It is six thirty fivehere on your Tuesday morning. Glad to
have you along, Casey with you. Ross will be back tomorrow. This
was there's a trip. He hadhis death in his wife's family, so

(16:36):
they made the made the road tripto Tennessee over the weekend. So he'll
be returning tomorrow. But just youknow what's up. We didn't fire him
and launch him into the sun oranything, so just you know, deal
with normal life stuff. But whata what a week to miss a few

(16:57):
days on cow. There was abrief moment too where when when I found
out he was gonna have to begone for a couple of days, just
because I have extra vacation days floatingaround, like I consider taking Monday and
Tuesday off that obviously would have notcome to pass, because how the hell
do you not talk about everything that'sgoing on. You can't. But if

(17:21):
we are going to do it,and you know what this is, this
is this is my my oversight usually, you know, usually we're a team.
So if I miss something to Rossis like, hey, here's this
thing, or if he does,I'm like, hey, what about that
thing? And I think with everythinggoing on, the attempted assassination of Trump,

(17:41):
the fact that the RNC is happening, we got legal stuff we got
to get into. A VP hasbeen announced, which I'm curious your thoughts
on that. We'll get into thatjust a few minutes. You know,
frankly, the responsible thing to dois maybe probably should have got through show
going with the little show of patriotism, you know, just put everyone in

(18:04):
the spirit and the mood of what'sgoing on. And it doesn't mean you
have to be a fan of whatthe Republicans are selling right now. But
I think there's a lot of peoplegoing, you know what, I don't
like the guy, but no,you don't get to shoot at somebody.
That's the right attitude to have.That's good. So with that in mind,
if I could for just a moment. Maybe. I know it irritates

(18:26):
some people and is probably triggering tocollege students at Columbia, but maybe we
just maybe we just opened this likewe used to open school when I was
a kid. Shall we, ohsay, can you see by the dos?

(18:48):
Like? All right? What's soproudly? Okay? Tyl? Like
last all right? Hoots broad shape, sound bad shot? That's the flag
to the pairs? Fire, ohthe rest? But we watch We're so

(19:18):
gass what mcket reread those bombs burst? I wish there was some cover this
up to the night that a flagwas said to scare the enemy working say

(19:52):
Dotto, Spain, bok bed Way. Oh the lame of the what?

(20:25):
And how can we keep doing this? Where are the normal singers? Where
are the I look, is anyis anything where everything going to be Whitney
Houston again? No, and itdoesn't have to be, but it can't

(20:45):
keep being Roseanne or Fergie or Icould look, there's a list, and
there's so many lists floating around now, so I have to admit I'm not
And that's a country singer too.I'm just to point this out. That's
a country singer. If you're acountry singer. I don't. Maybe it's

(21:07):
unfair. You need to. Ihave a higher expectation that you're gonna you're
gonna do a good job. AndI and people are like, well,
look, you couldn't go out thereand do it. Yes, you're right.
And if somebody asked me to singthe national anthem somewhere, I would

(21:33):
refuse, not because I have anythingagainst the national anthem, especially ahead of
a baseball game. I guess thehome run derby, it's baseball bad.
She couldn't she couldn't get more.It could get more American if she was
literally eating an apple pie, right, Maybe that's what happened in her throatcut

(21:53):
all sticky. I don't know.But that's an eight time Grammy nominee.
That's not the that's not the singerfrom the local high school who's gonna be
nervous as hell because it's never beenin front of that many people. That's
egred Ingrid Andres, who I'm admittedlyI'm not super familiar with. And then

(22:18):
they're doing the thing where they're goingdown the line or they have all the
participants standing there and like they're laughingthe dude for the Phillies. What's his
name, Alex baum Bomb. He'slike he's trying not to laugh. It's
it's clear. Look, I I'mnot doing this to be mean or necessarily

(22:41):
pick on her. But when thatbecomes the story, you have to ask
yourself why it keeps becoming the story. And of all the weeks to butcher
that thing, this was the weekto get that right. This was the
week for Major League Baseball to havean opportunity to provide a moment of respite

(23:03):
for a for a weary for aweary nation. I know that that making
it sound probably bigger than it is, but the opportunity should be there.
I want to go see him hitdingers, to quote that fat kid who's
now a skinny kid who still hitsstingers. That's what you want. You

(23:23):
want, you want nostalgia. Youwant you want to get away from it.
You want to not the whole timeyou're watching it, realize you're watching
the last vestige of dudes who won'tmake it into the hall because so much
juicing. But you still watch becauseit's like like the coliseum, right nothing.
You know you're not watching good stuff, but you're watching things you can't

(23:45):
look away from and maybe get people, maybe get people fallen out of love
with baseball to try to, uh, you know, see what's what with
this event, and they're greeted withthat she's wildly out of tune. Even
somebody who's not a singer, Ican tell that. And I don't know

(24:11):
why this stuff happens and keeps happening, because you have when you go into
sing this thing, you have choices. Now she went she wanted to go
straight delivery good. I think that'sthe smart choice for most singers. Or
you could try to make it yourown. And sometimes that works. And
when it works, it works,man, it works beautifully. And when

(24:34):
it doesn't, you get some jackasson the radio like me talking to you,
going what the hell was that?And you send me email about you're
already up? Why are you doingthis to me? The whole thing,
dude, the whole the whole weekis just this is this is what we're

(24:59):
in for. Now we get toget into a debate over an author slash
senator for about five minutes who mightvery well be and probably will be the
next Vice President of the United States, and a lot of internal debate within
Republican circles, and of course immediatelyhere we go with the hit squad.

(25:26):
You always gotta run with the racistpresident who doesn't want immigration and his wife
is Indian. Well, no,his wife's not Indian. His wife's Indian
America. She's from San Diego.She's a doctor. I think too.
They got a bunch of kids.They look fine together, they look happy.
What is your problem? Are wegoing we're gonna flip into the identity

(25:52):
politics right away? I guess weare. So I want to approach it,
perhaps, maybe just possibly from amore traditional manner. I know we
didn't get that with the national anthemthere, and I'm sorry to do that
to you this early in the morning. But if I had to suffer,
so did you. But let's talkabout JD. Vans, Trump's pick for

(26:18):
vice president, a few other namesfloating around out there. You had young
Kin who a lot of people starttalking about over the last few days.
The North Dakota governor, Burgham MarcoRubio was in that mix, Tim Scott
perhaps, although it sounded like theyhad eliminated Tim Scott maybe a couple of
weeks ago. Do you like thepick or are you like a lot of

(26:45):
people where you go, yeah,what does it matter? I find it
rich the criticism about how his onlyexperience at the national level is serving a
part of a Senate of a sixyear Senate term, because I love this
standard now that if you have onlyserved at the federal level a part of

(27:08):
a six year Senate term, you'reunqualified for the second highest job in the
land, but somehow you're qualified forthe highest because if you remember, Barack
Obama didn't serve his full term.Would you wanted to see somebody else?
Do you think it matters? Andif you have some thoughts, we'll hear

(27:29):
from you. Eight eight eight ninethree four seven eight seven four Should they
be able to seek in the nationalanthem? Whoever it is? These are
the important questions. Thank you,Thank you, sir. You forgot to
mention she's easy on the eyes.You know what, you just did it

(27:52):
for us. Thank you for youremail this morning. Appreciate that. All
right, six forty six hang onradio program. So we've got a few
topics floating around out there. Obviously, of course we have all things assassination
attempts related, the amount of stuffthat we keep finding finding out from let's

(28:17):
see here New York Post has apiece I'm gonna touch on. And also
WPXI is a local Pittsburgh outlet TVoutlet there who's reporting yesterday now puts the
timeline from when a law enforcement individualof some sort was aware that this dude

(28:41):
was on the rope at twenty sixminutes twenty six minutes from the time that
a police officer from the Beaver CountyEmergency Services Unit took a photo of him.
They weren't just aware, they hadvisual confirmation there was somebody on the

(29:03):
roof. They didn't seem to necessarilybe aware of the motive or that he
was necessarily armed, and very wellcould have been confused by the way he
was dressed. And the way hewas dressed is not all that different from
a way that a law enforcement officermay dress to be casual out of uniform.

(29:30):
Right, you got this shirt andon the shirt, if you look
at the shoulder of this leave ofthe shirt, you see an American flag.
Obviously it's in the military position,which I guess if you don't know
this, if you ever look ata flag on a military uniform, it
looks like it's backwards. Do youknow why that is? So? The

(29:51):
reason well, I know most ofyou do, but for those of you
who don't, the reason that theflag appears backwards is because that soldier is
running to the fight. So thinkof what a flag would look like you're
holding if you are holding the flagwhile running at something. So that's why
they appear in that direction. Andso when you see that, you see

(30:17):
it on a T shirt and youcan't really see the words or the T
shirt has some tactical logoing on it. It looks like the kind of stuff
that an officer might buy, orsomebody in law enforcement or military might buy
or having their collection. It's justa casual shirt. The pants look like

(30:38):
what could have been tactical pants.There's a couple companies that I'm sure most
of you're familiar with, and youknow, I don't know if you didn't
know, and you just knew thatthere's nine different agencies or whatever it was
around there, maybe for a momentyou thought it was that, or maybe
you just thought it was somebody whowanted a better view. But it doesn't

(31:00):
matter. It's an outlier. It'sthe thing you're taught to look for.
I physically attended a safety briefing aheadof the when we covered all aspects of
the r n C. Now I'mnot priving the totality of the information,
but they had a public section wherethe media was able to show up because

(31:21):
they had some They had some someAntifa before Antifa was cool. Uh,
anarchists, self proclaimed anarchists who hada bunch of big plans for the RNC
that year that McCain was nominated,and in fact it culminated a couple of
days prior when they got They gota U haul that was filled to the

(31:41):
brim with weapons, and not notall traditional weapons. A lot of them
were fecal bombs, as horrible asthat sounds, you know, basically breakable
glass jars, uh, and otherother things that were actually pretty clever in

(32:02):
the way that they were designed thatthese little anarchists had built so that they
could help police or delegates the ConnecticI remember the bus for the Connecticut delegation
got attacked by these these kids,and it was it was still relatively warm.
They had the windows down on thebus and they're being you know,

(32:23):
they're going through the various layers ofsecurity to get fully inside the perimeter,
and they stopped at the outside oneand they ran up and they started basically
breaking these these horribleness bombs through thethrough the open windows covering some of the
delegation. They literally had to afterthat, no vehicle approaching security perimeter carrying

(32:46):
anybody dare had any windows down.They had a collection of backpacks with things
that looked, you know, couldlook and smell like bad stuff, but
in reality weren't actually bombs, andthey would just randomly leave them against the
security fence. And they've got awhole U haul full of this stuff that

(33:07):
they confiscated, and they had atleast another one to go because it didn't
it didn't negate any of it.So the big roundabout point of saying this
is over the years, they haverefined their methods. Good morning, everybody.
It is the Cacoday radio program,our number two, and it just

(33:32):
gets so much worse. So notonly not only do we find out that
a law enforcement individual twenty six minutesprior to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump,
not that they just noticed this dude, right, but they noticed him

(33:55):
doing really really suspicious stuff. Andnot only was this building, this building
where he was able to shimmy upused as the perch as the nest as
the hide, although I'm loath tocall it a hide because he didn't do
anything seemingly to conceal himself other thanget low to the ground, which was

(34:21):
that was more about trying to geta good shot off. Not only was
his building used, this building wasalso a staging area for a local sniper
team. In what capacity they wereworking at that moment, I don't know.
I don't know if they had beenrelieved, if they were a non
call situation, I don't know.I don't know exactly that. But they

(34:46):
witnessed him doing some stuff. Now, they witnessed him on his phone.
Okay, all right, fair enough. But according to the reporting by the
local TV station at twenty six minutesprior, one of the officers felt concerned
enough to snap a photo after hewitnessed him using a range finder. I

(35:15):
want to be I want to makesure that there is no ambiguity by people
going, well, maybe they thoughthe was using binoculars. No, they
wouldn't. And here's why it doesn'tlook the same. Now, you can
use I get you can use arangefinder as a binocular, but why would

(35:36):
you if you're wanting binoculars it's notwhat a rangefinder is for rangefinders for finding
range. The way you hold abinocular. I want you to pretend you're
holding if you're driving, maybe don'tdo this, but or just do it
real quick binoculars. Pretend like you'reholding monoculars. What are you doing?
You got both hands. Maybe you'retouching the tips of your thumbs right now

(35:58):
while you curve both of your handsinwards. Now, I want you to
pretend you're holding a rangefinder. Andif you don't know what that looks like,
get rid of one of your handsand then bring that same sea that
you're making with one of your handsup to your eye. That's how you
hold a rangefinder. It looks different. And unless he's trying to figure out

(36:21):
his approach on number four or that'sliterally his deer hunting spot, that should
that should be the reddest of redflagspan. Also, it shows that he
was irresponsible in not doing a grid. You want to get technical here.

(36:45):
I know people for some reason arevery upset with me explaining stuff, but
I'm sick. I'm absolutely sick ofwatching coverage of stuff like this being done
by people who won't take a momentto attempt to understand how any of this
works. Do you know how manystories I talk about where I don't have
any real functional understanding of what's goingon, and I go, I should

(37:07):
probably educate myself. And so partof my prep process is to figure this
out. And so I'll go andI'll source different things like I don't know
how the how, the the theperson being chosen for the national anth I
don't know how that works. Andfrankly I should probably have some understanding,

(37:27):
because you know, we have this, you know this, this connection with
the music industry, working in thein the business that I do. But
I don't know. But if Iever wanted to know, I promised I
could find out so that I couldeducate you on it. Just I don't
care. I just care that theydo it some other way because it's not
working man. Sorry. The nationalanthem at the Hall of the Home Run

(37:52):
Derby was was hot garbage yesterday.But the people who are doing this,
the the looking here, they knowhow this stuff works. They don't.
A rangefinder works. If you're everif you're ever setting up something where you're
gonna shoot for hunting, Okay,do you ever, Let's say you got

(38:17):
you find yourself a nice field.You're real excited. You found what looks
like egress for for critters, right, you found a deer trail. Maybe
you found a some raisinets. That'scode for feces. If you don't know
what deer feces looks like. Andit's still steaming, man, you're like,

(38:37):
this is a good it's gonna bea good spot. Now you want
to figure out where you're gonna setup, so you know, people uh
uh, most folks in that scenario, I think would probably would they would
want a tree. If you're gonna, you know, if you're gonna go
stand up in a stand, youwant a tree that gives you as much

(38:59):
of a visual field on the fielditself, because that likely will be where
your shot is taken. But alsoyou want one that allows you to monitor
these trails. So if you havemultiple trails, we'll see if two trails
coming in where the deer are obviouslyusing, maybe you don't even know which
one's more popular. Because you havelimited time to set up, maybe put

(39:22):
your butt in the middle there,giving you a line of side on both
still providing you enough cover, maybeeven carve out a shooting lane if you
want, because it's not all thatunusual, especially if you're if you're after
a big buck, for them notto enter the field or to enter and
exit the field. While it's notlegal, shooting light the big boys,

(39:46):
the big boys going nocturnal is athing. So that's going to be that
scenario. But the other scenario isthis, I'm going to go and I'm
going to mark a grid. Soif the field, let's say the field
has I don't know, it's gota corral in the middle of it,

(40:08):
whatever, I'm going to well inadvance, before I ever get up in
that stand, I'm going to figureout the distance to that corral, and
I'll just have a little sheet ofpaper I could put it on, and
it's just to be a rudimentary littlehere's the square, here's the trail,
and the numbers written next to certainthings. So I know that the from

(40:30):
me to that corral is eighty yards. I know me to that trail head
is fifty yards. That shooting laneI just carved out, I know that
that's thirty yards. I've made theseindications so that when the moment comes in
the same way that you see caddieswalking around with golfers ahead of a PGA

(40:51):
event. I don't have to Idon't have to risk making the noise to
bring my range finder up if I'min a scenario where I think I might
get winded or noticed. And that'sthe same way it works for people who
were in that building who understand this. So they witness him using a range

(41:15):
finder, one of the most suspiciouspossible acts I could think of, short
of assembling his rifle in front ofhim, and they go, yeah,
you know, maybe we should lookinto that. He then leaves reportedly and
goes and gets a backpack. Sonow they've got an opportunity to intercept him
and go, hey, what's up, dude, And if he wants to

(41:37):
go hey, what do you doing? Am I being detained right whatever,
You're still in a position to likelyprevent him from gaining access to that roof
again, because with the simple thoughtthat I don't think you're the owner,
do you have permission to be upthere? Who gave you permission? Let's
go ahead and check your story.And if it turns out that he's he's

(42:00):
a kid who knew the owner ofthe building, and he didn't get a
ticket into the rally, but hethought, hey, I know, this
could be a cool spot to watchit. And he's just up there doing
his thing, and he's using itas a as a as a device to
amplify his view. It all soundscrazy, but at least you checked it
out. This is why people havethe conspiracies. This is why people look

(42:28):
at this and go, this isnone of this is right. And then
they start questioning, how, well, how did that all that Secret Service
person get their job? How didthe head of the Secret Service get in
there? Do you know who?Do you know who pushed for the hiring
of this particular Secret Service director?Joe Biden? Let the conspiracy run it

(42:49):
over? Does that necessarily mean anything? Now, not necessarily. You got
a position to fill, and especiallythe higher profile ones. There's gonna be
a lot of trading and friends offriends stuff. That's you know, that's
Washington man. You bundle, oh, you bundled a million dollars for the
president's campaign. What do you wantto you want to be the ambassador of

(43:09):
uh Germany? Here you go,by the way, that's the actual origin
story for that ambassador or the ambassadormy favor is the ambassador of Uruguay.
That lady's absolutely backcraped, crazy looneytunes man. She went down and tried

(43:30):
to start a whole incident as aUS ambassador, and they still kept her
in there because she's you know,she's besties with the Bidens. If you
don't know that story. She basicallywent she wanted. She tried to roll
into a really nice restaurant down therein Montevideo or one of the big big

(43:50):
cities there, and and she isdressed like a tourist and it's a fine
dining establishment. She doesn't have areservation, and they're like, no,
no, that's not how any ofthis works. No, And she's like,
ah, they profiled me and it'sracist, But you risk an international

(44:13):
incident. Now, what's our tradefootprint with a small South American country that
most people couldn't find on a map. I don't know. Probably not substantial,
but it shows you that these gigsare not necessarily ones who are the
most qualified for it. The differenceis the ambassador to a small South American

(44:36):
country that most people couldn't find ona map and the director of the Secret
Service have vastly different responsibilities. Doesit mean she's unqualified? Not necessarily,
but It definitely calls into question witheverything that we've seen transpire. So they're
out of excuses. Man, twentysix minutes, no communication or they did

(45:00):
communicate and nobody cared. Photos takenthe most suspicious of acts possible witnessed.
And now we're having this conversation eighteight, eight, nine, three four,
seven, eight seventy four. Isthat person even qualified for the job?
Man, what do you think ofthe advance selection? Let me ask

(45:22):
you, that is it? Man? You don't care? At least they're
breathing. Did you want to seea DeSantis in there? Because you know,
an argument, you know has tobe made for the fact that if
Trump is elected, this is it, right, he only gets one more.

(45:44):
So whoever is in that position almostcertainly will be or will likely be,
the Republican nominee for the next election. So here you got a guy
who's what he's gonna be thirty orsomething for he is thirty. I understand

(46:04):
that, I yes, I understandthat there are binoculars that are range finding
as well. It is clear fromthe description they're using the one hand ones
the golfers use and shooters use.Gotcha, I'm trying to Sometimes you have
to pick whether you're gonna overload peoplewith information. So if you know a

(46:30):
piece of information based on the descriptionthat's given this report, I'm gonna go
for the the one that's gonna beeasiest to explain on the radio, Sir.
I get gun guys and hunting guysbecause I am one. We get
real clenchy, because there's a lotof nuance to it. So I have
to battle with how I'm explaining stuffbecause I can't. I can't watch Maxine

(46:55):
Waters talk about AR fifteen's the waywhat a small car does. People who
will never understand semi automatic versus automatic. It's clear I have to I have
to balance against that stupidity, whichwhich holds an outside influence, right,

(47:19):
because those are generally the ones thatare on the you know, the more
mainstream outlets, talking about things thatthey haven't even attempted to understand. But
yeah, so do you think,like, could you see vance That would
be wild too, by the way, that you'd have so many in their
late thirties that potentially could ascend tothe office of president. But the expectation

(47:47):
is whoever this, whoever it is, in this case, it's probably gonna
be advanced. And I'm gonna probablysay Pence way too many times. You'll
just forgive me in advance. Theseare the things that you have to think
about. Eight eight eight nine threefour seven eight seven four. Let's get
your calls coming up. Everyone's prettySo my point stands I said thirty instead

(48:08):
of forty. My point is thathe's very young compared to well, I
mean it's hard not to be veryyoung compared to I don't know everything that
we're seeing right now, but yeah, so dvance is going to be forty.
Sorry, my brain's doing like ninedifferent things at a time. So

(48:28):
by the time you know, he'dbe running for office, the dudes in
his early forties, which I don'tthink is like he's you know, that's
how old I am. So Ithink that's a perfect age because I know
everything and I would be a greatleader. I just I don't like to
deal with people. I know.I'm in a weird business for that.
So there's that. It's mostly thehaving to meet people and pretend that I

(48:51):
don't wish that I was anywhere butthere casey OTEI radio program just because there
has I can't help even in timeswhen we have big stories to run across
the really stupid stuff. And Idon't know why I thought this was so

(49:13):
funny. You know what it is, It's a good economics lesson. So
I'm just gonna I'm gonna throw thisup in the middle. Apparently they are
having a big there's a financial crisisbrewing in Colombia, and it's of a
rather unique variety. So let mehit you with this. According to Yahoo

(49:34):
News and The New York Times,Colombian villagers are facing on certain economic times
due to the overproduction of cocaine.The market is flooded with cocaine and has
now driven the price so low money. I guess maybe one of you crackheads

(49:57):
love to call in and tell mehow low that is. But that whole
villages are now wondering should they comeup with another economically viable solution, because
this ain't it, folks, AndI kid you not. In New York
Times as a whole piece where theygo to these little villages, in these
remote Columbian villages where this coca productiontakes place and it's getting so bad that

(50:24):
they're shrinking. In fact, oneof the villages they profiled, which had
two hundred residents as recent as twoyears ago is now down to forty as
the market is so flooded with productthat folks are having to go elsewhere to
find other economic opportunities now. Andit's interesting even though you're obviously you're dealing

(50:54):
with that. I want, bythe way, did you know did you
not? I didn't know this untilI went there and it was blown away.
If you remember, I took atrip to to uh Guatipe, which
is in Colombia, and then toEcuador and then to Galopagos last year and
it was it was crazy interesting.Man. But if you go to GUAATEAPEI

(51:15):
you have to go through you haveto fly into Metazine, which I had
never obviously i'd never been there,and I'm like, that's weird. That's
a weird feeling, because like everythingyou know has has basically been informed because
you watched Narcos. You should watchNarcos, it's really good, or you've

(51:36):
seen you know, Cocaine Cowboys,or you've seen any any of the anything
having to do with the insanity thatwas the Colombian cartels in the eighties,
and of course the very enigmatic leadershipthere and and horrible, right, horrible.
One of the things that you willsee and once you know what it

(52:00):
is, it's impossible to unsee it. When you're in megazine is you will
see little plaques where outlining people whowere killed as part of the Pablo esque
of our reign of terror there andit doesn't matter where you go. You
could be You could be in Peblato, you could be in Loreles, which

(52:22):
is where I stayed, a placecalled Lorells, which is you know,
it's there's a standards over by thestadium. They got bars and restaurants,
tourist hotels. It's considered I guess, a pretty safe area there and stay
there for a couple of nights,both in it, coming in and going
out. And then Guatapay is it'sbasically the inside of a volcano that's a

(52:45):
lake now and it's got this hugespire of the dome and it's got like
eight hundred stairs to get to thetop, which sound like a good idea
good tell about stair two hundred.You're like, am I almost there?
And you realize no, you're not. You are not almost there. And
then they have like a they havelike a little dip out point for cowards

(53:06):
and you're like, I'm not acoward, I'm gonna do this thing.
And then you get to the topand you're pretty sure you should be dead.
And uh, there's people who literallywalk up that every day to work
because there's like a bar restaurant upthere. It's wild Man, and it's
just it's gorgeous and it's beautiful.But among all of that, you're seeing
these little plaques and and you realizethat forty thousand people were killed by this

(53:30):
guy. Forty thousand people were killedby this guy, and it's just so
it's hard to fathom. Even ina big city. Megazine is a big
city. It's it's it's a biggercity than any city we have in North
Carolina. And everywhere you go there'sa high likelihood you're gonna run across one

(53:52):
of those people who fell victim tothis this empire. And it puts a
lot in perspective, you know howI'm with history and stuff. But a
couple things emerge from that. Oneif you go there as a tourist and
you and you go and there arepeople basically forty or older, they are

(54:21):
very resentful of the fact that youwould be you would have any sort of
interest in One of these Escobar toursand they don't like. They don't like
they don't like the name, theydon't like the they don't like the way
that people have this weird fascination almostfrom a like in any way, shape

(54:45):
or form where they like Escobar orthey think that there's a cool factor there,
which I literally watched American tourists exudeout. They're like, oh,
I can't wait to go to hisgrave and all this stuff, and you
could tell that the locals really hatethat. Why because they probably have a
family member who was killed. Idon't blame them, man, it's it's
really dark stuff. Or they wantto go see the hippos, which you

(55:07):
can do. You can go seethe hippos. But what struck me and
I dug into because I found itfascinating, was cocaine's legal there. I'm
not telling you so you can godown and see if you can stop your
heart. I would suggest that youavoid that, especially going into a foreign

(55:29):
country and doing something like that.You just you're you're asking for it.
I would have no sympathy for you, but you realize why the laws are
the way that the laws are downthere, right, They needed to economically
make it so that no one couldrise from those ashes. So if you

(55:50):
don't have a product where some guyswith guns can strictly control the flow of
it makes it a lot harder foranother Pablo Escobar to rise. So it
creates a very interesting and from theimpression I got is is most of the
locals don't use it. In fact, the statistics would back that up,
which is pretty crazy because I feellike if you legalized a bunch of stuff

(56:13):
in the US, everybody turns intoDenver during that first flight. But it
did, but it doesn't mean thatit didn't stop it flowing outward. You
know. The other thing is whenyou go to the airport to arrive in
medicine, you'll it's a very lengthyprocess. They have one line, stupid
long plan for you know, acouple hours just for that. But they're

(56:37):
very controlling of what comes in.When you go to leave, you don't
even have to put that stuff inyour rear end if you don't want to.
They're just like, hey, areyou leaving? Oh fine, yeah,
we don't even need to look inthere. And so you have these
rural areas that that you know itit is barely economic viable for them.

(57:00):
Well, now with the with bentanylbeing a thing, and because it's a
lot easier to smuggle that than itis to smuggle that much cocaine, And
so you have this, you havea rapidly changing economic thing. I find

(57:20):
it interesting. I know that itdoesn't necessarily connect with what we're talking about.
New York Times piece was just whoknows, maybe they wrote it so
they didn't have to write about theTrump stuff. I don't care. But
it's like, you know, allthese rules of economics, and this is
where I'm going to tie it backthat people want to go ahead and reject,
you know, so the law ofsupply and demand, And it doesn't
mean people don't manipulate the system,and it doesn't mean that the system's perfect.

(57:45):
In fact, no system is.So you have to ask yourself what
is the best process for this.But no matter how much you try to
deny the existence of these things,they have real imp packs and consequences that
play out regardless of how humans howmuch humans think they can control it.

(58:08):
And we have some big, big, big issues for this presidential election where
there's a sharp divide on how youdo this. You know, the power
of the dollar worldwide is at oneof the lowest points I've ever seen,
causing exchange rates to be twenty fivethirty percent less in some instances. I

(58:29):
can tell you the exchange rate inColombia and Ecuador was far less than what
I had read on forums. Insteadof four thousand or forty five hundred to
one that had dipped significantly, Ithink that was the number, which is
a crazy number when you think aboutit, right, one of our dollars
is equal to over four thousand oftheir pesos what they use down there.

(58:57):
And now you have this changing Youhave this changing look to this age old
industry, right, and the economicfallout of it is significant and as crazy
as it sounds. You can sitthere and you can learn and draw lessons

(59:20):
from this. As you watch thecontinued rollout of AI automated automated systems within
fast food production, which the stateof California, due to their own incompetence
and lawmaking, is going to pushforward at a speed that was not previously
estimated. You will talk to robotsto order at McDonald's. You already are

(59:45):
in some instances. Did you knowthat there are some McDonald's As we found
out that we're utilizing and testing outa system using AI voice prompted ordering some
systems. So, whether it's cocaineor Big Max or your job, these

(01:00:07):
are things that people need to payattention to. And these are things that
need to be part of any discussionwith this presidential election and pretty much any
high office right now, it willbe breakneck speed. Look at how good
AI is just creating memes. Howmany of you have seen live memes?

(01:00:28):
Now? Right? What's one ofthe more famous ones? You know,
the guy who's walking with his girlfriendand he's doing that look back at another
girl and she's got that horrified lookon her face. Somebody just told an
AII They're like, make that areal life thing. And now there's a
video. There's a video like you'rein a movie watching that happen. So

(01:00:49):
for every bit of discussion that we'regoing to be having about what happened in
Baker Pa and the fallout and who'sthe head of the secret service and was
it political? And where they're diversityhigher? Why does black Rock have a
commercial with this you this dude init? Just know that there's a lot
of really really really big level,high level stuff they can't get lost in
the mix. All right, sevenforty seven, Casey, I'm sorry.

(01:01:15):
I feel like I'm scolding, butI'm not. I just BILLI. We've
got to keep our eye on theball, all right. I was gonna
say our eye on the target,but you can't say that. Man seven
forty seven raced agic from the weatherChannel. He's here with your your weather
forecast, which will get better,but it will suck in the meantime.
So a little both, I meanbetter than worse. I mean a lot

(01:01:37):
of people don't want rain. Ifyou've got weekend plans. Rain chances going
up. Not much coverage today,just isolated stuff here and there. Hot,
and Huban once again, he'd advisoryfor most of us. Let's just
put it that way. There areparts of the triad that aren'tated, but
everybody will be in the mid uppernineties, he did. He's close to
one oh five isolated showers thunderstorms thisafternoon of this evening. Now the coverage
and chances do go up tomorrow afternoontomorrow evening was on thunderstorms more likely to

(01:02:00):
be scattered around, but still hot, mid nineties and humid, so it
feels like one o five. Probablyhave another heat advisory, and then for
Thursday and Friday, scattered showers andstorms. Hi's only between eighty five and
ninety with most of us on Fridaystaying in the eighties. And I think
that trend of eighty degree high temperatureseighty plus will continue into the weekend,
but decent chances of showers thunderstorm.So that's the payoff. You get the

(01:02:23):
front, you get the cooler ornot it's extremely hot weather, you get
the rain chances with it. Soa couple of more real hot, humid
days today, KC tomorrow, andthen it looks like we'll start seeing temperatures
come down just a bit. Getthe old winter coats out right, yeah,
man, almost there. Yeah,well, you know, if we
think it into existence, maybe ithappened we could all right, thanks man,

(01:02:44):
appreciate it. YEP seven forty nine, Hang on back in just a
few. It is the KCO Dayradio program phone number eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four aswe cruise into the third hour. Two
days. So, Joe Biden satdown with Lester Holt yesterday combative. Yeah,

(01:03:07):
Holt utilizing the very same standards thatdate back probably to Palin, I
think was the highest profile example,right, Remember Sarah Palin was why Gabby
Gifford's got shot. I know becauseI read that in the New York Times,
who got later sued by it,and everyone knew that they were one

(01:03:29):
hundred percent in the wrong. Butof course you get the right court in
New York, nobody gets held responsible. She just simply had what is a
very innocuous map, right, andit had a map of a handful of
congressional districts. One of them happenedto be Gifford's district in Phoenix, and

(01:03:55):
those are districts that they were targetingto flip. It was super clear what
it was, and that became thenational conversation. Well, Joe Biden,
in that speech was presented with hey, didn't you know you said, you
know, you put a bullseye onTrump? And his response was, I

(01:04:15):
didn't say crosshairs, which is dumband if you're and by the way,
the correct response is I should havesaid spotlight. And for whatever reason,
Lester Hold, even though he wasinjecting other possibilities, like, nobody thought
of that. Now do I thinkthat Joe Biden' say't put a bull's eye

(01:04:40):
on Trump? Caused this, no, but I am forced to play and
uh and analyze stuff through the standardsof the individuals making the standards. And
these are the individuals making the standards. And if you go back and you
look at Joe Biden comments about Trump, about Bush, about Republicans in general

(01:05:02):
within the last decade, there areso many shining examples of it. You
know, was his time not servingduring his time as vice president, and
even going back to his time inthe Senate. He then, when presented
with this, said, but whatabout Trump? Which is fine as a

(01:05:24):
partial answer, but it's usually abetter It's a better answer when you say,
you know what, absolutely, Idon't know that I think that this
caused it. But since I thinkthis is the standard we have to play
by, I'll take my responsibility andI won't use that language anymore. And
I hope my opponent would do thesame. And if you say it like

(01:05:45):
that, you say the exact thingthat Biden kind of said. Well,
the second half you say basically whatBiden said, but you say it in
a way that doesn't make you soundlike you're refusing to acquiesce on this thing.
KCODA Radio program our number three hereon your Tuesday phone number eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight sevenfour. So you know, yesterday I

(01:06:13):
really stuck to the technical because Ithought that that was important having to do
with the Trump rally and the attemptedassassination. But the human side of it
and just the the disgusting side ofit was very much on display, and
it was on display early. Iknow a lot of people probably became aware

(01:06:35):
of what happened with the Tenacious D, which I don't do people still do
people even still know what that is. There was there was definitely a window
in there, the school of rockwindow, I guess i'll call it,
or Jack Black and a guy whosename you probably don't know or didn't know

(01:06:55):
his name, but you knew himfrom being the other guy, which Black,
they formulate what is a parody rockband called Tenacious D. His name
is Kyle Gas, by the way, and they were doing a concert down
in Australia. Where was it Sydney, it doesn't matter, somewhere in Australia.

(01:07:18):
And there's a video that emerged becauseit was Gas's birthday, and so
during the middle of the concert theyhave this whole stunt where like costume robot
looking thing comes out with a cakeand happy birthday and make a wish,
and Gas did make a wish,he said, by wish, don't miss

(01:07:41):
Trump next time, and then JackBlack goes thank you, and video kind
of cuts out there as they wrapup the birthday celebration and then you know,
back to the concert stuff. Admittedly, I've never been to a Tenacious
D concert, but there was awin you probably many of you are most

(01:08:02):
you're old enough to remember it whereJack Black was everywhere. Man, they
said, I mentioned the school ofrock that was that was a big movie,
but Black was everywhere, and asa result, Gas was everywhere,
and it had a real pen andteller vibe where Gas would be I guess
teller or you just kind of sitthere and he didn't always say a lot.

(01:08:25):
But the dude is both of themare very political. Jack Black was
one of the folks at the Clooneyfundraiser, the very same one that was
used in the piece that Clooney wrotesaying, you know, he just wasn't
the Joe I remember. And don'tget it messed up because people are going,

(01:08:47):
well, you know they This obviouslywas on the fourteenth and the incident
happened on thirteenth, And to that, I would say, you don't understand
how time zones work, because yes, while the dates are technically different,
this was this was within a couplehours because Australia sits so far ahead of

(01:09:13):
US, so from eastern you know, from eastern USA, and you know
late afternoon, early evening it isit's the next day. So that's what
we're talking about here. And hewasn't alone. You had jokes by the

(01:09:34):
I guess now former field director forBenny Thompson, and then Benny Thompson,
the representative got to come out andgo, well, we've parted ways with
this individual who also made it don'tmiss joke or do better next time joke
and acted as though he was outraged. Well, you have to understand that
Benny Thompson is the one that introducedlegislation that would have stripped Trump of Secret

(01:09:59):
Service protection. Yeah, he was. He was. He was one of
these cats that were out there withthe death by a thousand cut strategy,
and the way that he was goingto go after Trump is uh. He
he crafted a law that was writtenquite specifically that would have addressed Trump,

(01:10:21):
that would have removed any of thatprotection. His standard, I believe under
the law was the conviction of certaincrimes that carried enough penalty time. Well,
Alvin Bragger, Uh, excuse me, Alvin Bragg, and what's her
bucket up? In New York,they delivered, Letitia James, they delivered.

(01:10:45):
Now, of course would in thelong run it had been it had
been that way. No, Ithink most people still believe that as soon
as this thing works its way upthe court system, this this, these
convictions in New York, we'll gettossed. Meanwhile, an absolute conniption fits
started yesterday after the judge in Floridawho was assigned the you know, the

(01:11:12):
oh he's got top secret documents layingeverywhere. Well, how do you know
there could look at the cover sheetsthat we added ahead of time for the
photo. On the grounds that JackSmith wasn't appointed for a league in illegal
manner by Merrick Garland, she threwthe case out and everyone feigned outrage.

(01:11:35):
I'll tell you this, though,I think secretly there was a lot of
Democrats who went, oh, thankgod, because they realized the optics of
this. They realized the inherent doublestandard, the insane double standard from home
brewed servers with Hillary to Joe Bidenwith the very same types of documents,

(01:11:59):
albeit not a person who had everheld presidential office at that point, with
boxes of these documents that set ina garage next to his prize corvette.
So yeah, yeah, in away, I think that a favor was

(01:12:21):
done really so that that didn't haveto move forward in the dumpster fire manner
that it was looking to move forward. Now, of course they're going to
appeal, and that's the right.They go ahead and do that, but
they're gonna have a hard time gettingthat jump started because I don't think anyone's
got appetite for this right now.Meanwhile, I'm having to read about the

(01:12:42):
retaliatory riots, where are those ata lot of breathless reporting this morning from
various outlets about the Alphabet agencies they'reon high alert. The irony, of
course being it is the fundamental lackof being under or on high alert that

(01:13:03):
looks like it may have contributed tothis, as we find out now that
it was to almost thirty minutes bythe twenty six minutes from the time that
the shooter was spotted by a memberof law enforcement on My Dad two when
he was eventually, essentially when hewas greased following getting to lobs some shots.

(01:13:30):
The building literally had a sniper teamin it, and they watched him
use a range finder. All ofthese things you want to talk about high
alert should have been giant tip offsor as the guy in Cleveland would say,
dead giveaway, right, dead giveaway. So don't let Benny Thompson sit

(01:13:57):
there and crocodile tears. You don'tlet this professor at Belmore University who also
was like, hey, can weget somebody who knows what they're doing in
there? Don't let them spind you, and sure as hell, don't let
them talk you into going out anddoing something stupid and violent. I don't

(01:14:19):
think that they will do m Iget a U haul full of Patriot Front
folks that show up there, that'dbe interesting. But it wasn't the right
running to protest, it wasn't theit wasn't Trump supporters. Now, there

(01:14:40):
was a report of vandalism at thestate party headquarters for Democrats, and if
somebody went and did that, itwas retaliatory. Don't do that, trust
me, let them, don't givethem an inch. If you feel that
they were at at fault in anyway, shape or form, and a

(01:15:00):
lot of people do. Let themjust exist and stew in their own muck
show people the receipts. But Iif you're part of making this bed,
you're gonna get left to lie init. And it doesn't matter how much

(01:15:20):
reporting the outlets like Politico do afew of you have sent this story this
morning? Yeah, FBI, DHSweren't a possible retaliation for attack on Trump?
Wouldn't that happen right away? Isnot how these things work when people

(01:15:41):
are mad as hell and they're notgonna take it anymore. Is there a
waiting period that I'm unaware of,because that's not what I've seen, and
we've done how many stories over thelast few years of cities that immediately turn
to turmoil following an officer involved shooting. Do they wait a few No,
because part of it is not waitingfor the information so that by the time

(01:16:04):
it hits you, you're so committedto it you don't care. Here we
go from a Politico. US authoritiesare concerned about possible attacks and retaliation of
the attempted assassination of Donald Trump that, according to the FBI and Department of
Homeland Security, who issued what isa very rare occurrence which are called joint

(01:16:29):
jibs joint intelligence politans. So Ithink it's a funny word anyway for something
that's kind of serious, but iswhat it is, violent extremists or others?
What does it or others mean mayattempt to follow on ortal or may
attempt follow on retaliatory acts of violence. So what are you saying? You

(01:16:53):
think they're going to go out andGreece the Democrat? Maybe, but I
sure as hell, and I don'tknow that anyone listening to the show it
thinks that's a good idea, becauseyou know we're on it. We're not
here to play political games. Wehonestly don't want to see this stuff.

(01:17:14):
We don't want people thinking that ifthey go to a rally to support somebody
or just to listen to somebody.Do you know one of the people wounded
as a Democrat, the grandfather isa registered Democrat. Now he seems to
have found an affinity for Trump ifyou look at some of the memes he's
posted on the Facebook. But there'sa guy just showing up to hear what

(01:17:35):
this guy has to say, andhe gets shot for his troubles is expected
to make a recovery. But thedude's mid seventies. So if you know,
if there is any lasting lingering healthissues, that's going to be far
more impactful on somebody in their midseventies than say, somebody who's in their

(01:17:56):
twenties and is in good shape inspite of themselves. But the FBI running
out with bulletins like this, where'syour evidence? What are your I mean,
what is prompting you to say this? No specific targets were mentioned in

(01:18:16):
the bulletins, but the four pagebulletin does note that extremists have conducted or
plotted attacks against perceived political or ideologicalopponents in the past. Yeah, and
I remember that time. You alsotalked all those dudes into doing actual like
the cringiest tactical training. You know, rocky montage videos you've ever seen in

(01:18:41):
your life where they're dumping a teamof you know, fake swat dudes out
of a PT cruiser so that theycan move on some sort of target of
interest. You ever seen those videos? They're crazy, But I guess that's
a good way to sneak in anddo stuff because nobody's expecting a PT cruiser

(01:19:01):
to be filled with a band ofmercenaries like it's a clown car. They
say, they just keep coming outof there. What's going on? But
to that, I say, showme, show me where it's happening,
show me where it's unfolding right now. Show me in Pittsburgh why it's not
unfolding right now, or in Milwaukeewhere the where the Republicans are. And

(01:19:27):
the answer is because it isn't.So now we're into the world of projection,
man. But if you see something, you see some riots or something,
please let me know. We willabsolutely, will, absolutely deal with
it on the air, no problem. They're happy to do it. And

(01:19:48):
the trust level with the FBI issad as at about zero for a lot
of people. So you're also whenyou when you go chicken little on this
stuff and it doesn't pan out andyou're all ready hemorrhaging people that believe your
garbage, that's not a good lookfor you, especially when it's it's pretty

(01:20:09):
clear that all of the details thatyou're looking for are not details that are
possessed by the author or have beenverbalized by these individual groups or or I
guess lone wolves or whomever's looking atit, but you write it down like
it's a thing. You're sure it'sgoing to happen. Give me a damn
break. Six twenty one, hangon, excuse me, eight twenty one,

(01:20:30):
hang on. Oh, this isnot what the This is not what
the country needs right now. Thecountry needs to heal. I know the
FBI is like, oh, it'sgonna be retaliatory stuff. All right,
call me when it happens, right, we need to we need to knock
it down a notch or but youknow, whatever, garbage the thing you

(01:20:53):
want to say, and so wecan't. You know, we tried to
turn to baseball yesterday for the homerun derby and then they bring out ingrid
Angris Andrews. Excuse me, acountry singer who then proceeds to butcher sick
the national anthem. It gets somuch worse. My point is like,

(01:21:16):
we got to get something right here. Man. Why a country artist.
If you tell me a country artistis doing the national anthem, I almost
have zero concern. You tell meFergie's doing it. I got that was
not good kc O Day Radio program. The dvance reaction has been, well,

(01:21:42):
you know, for tone down therhetoric. I don't know Van Jones
during the CNN analysis which I can'tfind. I can't help myself, but
watch because one minute it's it's verycontrite, like we need to do better,
and then the next moment they makethe announcement and Van Jones on CNN
referred to jd Vance as quote,a dangerous virus and a horror on the

(01:22:08):
world stage. Again, by yourown standards, dehumanizing an individual or group
of people, I keep getting toldis a bad thing. People don't necessarily
respond well to it. Deplorables right, Oh, you got a bucket of

(01:22:30):
deplorables. Man. Arguably that wassomething that might have definitely contributed to her
losing the election. So when youget out there like a dangerous virus,
there is historical context where the verysame language has been utilized to dehumanize groups
of people so that you could eventuallystick them in ghettos and then move them

(01:22:53):
to your new camps complete with youknow, shower rooms, so that they
could carry out a killings. Thatwas a multi year, multi pronged approach
at making it seem that the personwho you are going to do horrible things
to or look the other way whilehorrible things are done, aren't on,

(01:23:16):
They're not you, they're not humaneven it's it's the only way that in
many cases you can you can shiftlarge scale public opinion. You have to
see them as less than so forfor drawing one breath in and complaining about
the vitriol to your very next onebeing yeah, but yeah, he's a

(01:23:42):
virus of cancer. Well what doyou do with viruses and cancers? Do
you embrace them? Now? Youdo everything in your power. You're bet
you hate them so much that you'rewilling to poison yourself because you know you're
also poisoning that, you know,the virus or excuse me, the cancer.
That's what's so crazy here. Othersare just mad because we're not checking

(01:24:08):
enough diversity boxes. Trump didn't picka person of color, Trump didn't pick
a woman, Trump didn't pick aminority. He picked another white man.
Rad I gotta read crap like thatfrom some of these high profile Democrat accounts.
Maybe he picked the person he thoughtwas the best, and you know,
and that best isn't always warm andfuzzy. Sometimes it's you know,

(01:24:32):
it is self serving, but youknow you're still making the decision that you
think is gonna work out best foryou. Oh no, he's not all
the diversity stuff, you know,the literally. I think the only acceptable
candidate would be that protester who gotwhisked away by police the other day that
that her friends were all upset.You don't remember that. Let's remember how

(01:24:59):
many diversity checkboxes. This is fromone of these college campus takeovers, so
they can fly their harmas flag andscream at people where one of their comrades
other listening to how she has comradeit's adorable with the accent, was taken
by police. It is also unfairbecause you don't know that the number of

(01:25:19):
diversity boxes that this individual checks.And I'm here to tell you it's a
crap ton. Just so you're awareof Police Forces hospital lies. One of
our comrades mail officers touched. Ican't take it seriously with that accent,
that cockney. What is going onhere? Anyway? I'm sorry. Back

(01:25:42):
to this, remember, get yourdiversity checklist book out and try to follow
along as best you can. PoliceForces hospital lies. One of our comrades
mail officers touched a disabled Muslim transperson of color without consent and refuse to
give them medical tree. It's youknow, what it reminds me of is
the the what's the new, what'sthe latest eminem? So Houdini, you

(01:26:11):
don't have to be in in intoeminem, that's fine, right, And
I love that there's a middle generationwho's going who and where you have simultaneously
younger kids that are into it,and then people my age are like,
yeah, this is what we calledmusic back in the day, recognizing that,
you know, the eminem of mychildhood couldn't exist on the current plane.

(01:26:32):
And that self realization is in thevideo and in the song. And
there's a part where the part whereEminem and the song is talking about how
his transgender cat identifies as black butacts Chinese, right, which is obviously
a sarcastic cut on on this incessantneed to throw everything else out the window

(01:26:59):
from and the valueuation standpoint, justso that they can go, look what
we did here, Well, Iam looking at what you did. In
fact, arguably the biggest stumbling blockto being able to as a party react
to what happened is the vice president, who was not, in my opinion,
selected because she was she and shewas a person of color. But

(01:27:28):
the words of Joe Biden, right, he said, I'm going to you
know, I'm going to pick ablack woman. Well, now you've eliminated
the vast majority of your options becausethat black women, they're not fifty one
percent of this country. And soyou created this scenario where she is just

(01:27:49):
detestable when you ask voters, andyou have this war chest, this war
chest that you wouldn't be able toutilize if you just cut bait on this
person and the second person and donorswho want that money back so they can
spend it in down ballot situations likethe whole thing's wild man, So losing

(01:28:15):
your crap because Vance happens to bea white dude, he's married to a
woman who is a person of color. Does that count or is that too
on the nose with I have manyblack friends because you know, you get
that feeling, that vibe obviously,But no, I think for the most
part, the selection has been wellreceived. Even if there's people disappointed because

(01:28:39):
they thought the young Kin or Burghamor one of them should be in there,
the fact is that's not the wayit's going to be. And also
I think that the favorability rating hasnowhere to go but up should should he

(01:29:00):
make it? Into office, andthe number of celebrities showing up, showing
out on these things. Amber Rose, who I'm pretty sure was a stripper
for a while, and then thentransition to music, who was a fervent,
fervent hater of Trump and Republicans.That's not my words, that's that's

(01:29:20):
her explaining it. Who sat thereand watched all of these things play out,
all of these different double standards,went no, I'm not going to
be a part of this. Infact, I'm going to go out on
a limb and try to is best. I can not be a part of
any of it. So they did, and that's where we find ourselves this

(01:29:45):
morning. All right, it iseight forty three CaCO Day Radio program.
Is mister Stagic available from the WeatherChannel? See what he's lucky? Certain,
Yeah, what's going on? Butman, yeah, you know,
just to trying to find the silverlining here. You know, if it's
not one thing, it's another.You know, the Hooters burned down?

(01:30:06):
Oh gosh, yeah, yeah,yeah, you know it's nothing but enough
news this morning. We'll give detailsof that coming up, but burst details
of weather. What you got morewarm humid weather? Oh, actually hot
and humid weather coming up next fewdays, so you know, hang in
there. The better hair days arecoming. Better hair days will be there,

(01:30:27):
and as we get into the latterpart of the week, highlighted changes
include better raining chances, but wewill continue to see lower temperatures and by
Friday maybe low to mid eighties.Parts of the mountains may not get out
of the seventies, and then Ithink we're in a scattered shower thunderstorm thing
for multiple days in a row.The temperature is gonna held down with that

(01:30:49):
with added cloud cover. So today'sstill heat advisory for most of us.
The mid upper nineties will feel closeto one O five with the heat decks
and just hit miss storms this safternoonthrough this evening. Likely storm tomorrow afternoon.
Mid nineties, though it's not untilThursday and Friday we're talking about eighties.
Might hit ninety in the Triangle onThursday, but the rain chances will
be a little better. They'll bescattered around the storms, and I think

(01:31:10):
the same trend into the weekend.Not complete wash out on any day,
but just better chances which will help. Thursday's new drought model comes out and
at the least most of the statewas under some level of drought, whether
it was D zero one or two. I believe at least most of the
state that have some reports of drought, so we could use a little rainfall,
and I think we'll get some.Okay, all right, I appreciate
it, my man. We'll Jefftomorrow, all right, okay, And

(01:31:33):
Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News joins us. Next. It is eight fifty one.
Your Bloomberg Update with Jeff Bellinger ishappening now, Jeff, what's going
on? I was morning Casey.The news on retail sales this morning not
as bad as feared. The governmentsays sales were flat last month. Consumers

(01:31:55):
continued to feel financial pressure, buteconomists thought we'd be hearing about a three
eight tens percent decline, and withauto sales excluded, sales were up for
tens percent. That was the biggestgain in that category in three months.
Amazon dot COM's Prime Day events underwaynow. Southwest Airlines has partnered with the
online retailer for the first time.The carrier is offering fair discounts, and

(01:32:17):
customers who use their Southwest Rapid Rewardscredit cards for Amazon purchases today or tomorrow
will learn points toward companion passes relatedto a prime day. The Better Business
Bureau is warning Amazon customers to becautious today. Anytime there is a significant
sales event, the cyber criminals goto work, be aware you could receive

(01:32:39):
phony emails purporting to be from onlines. The online superstore. General Motors the
latest legacy automaker to acknowledge that demandfor electric vehicles is fading. GMCEO Mary
Baris as the company will not havethe capacity to build one million evs by
the end of the year. Shetold CNBC. Customer demand will determine and

(01:33:00):
how quickly the company gets to onemillion EV sales per year, but at
this point GM is seeing a slowdownin deliveries. Elon Musk indors Donald Trump's
bid for the presidency over the weekend. Now the billionaire entrepreneur is putting his
wealth behind Trump's candidacy. Sources sayMusk is pledging forty five million dollars a
month to a pro Trump super pack. Verizon said to be looking to sell

(01:33:24):
thousands of its cell towers across thecountry. Sources say the telecom giant has
hired advisors to gauge interest from potentialbuyers. If there is a deal,
it could involve as many as sixthousand towers with a value of more than
three billion dollars and KC. ATand T is facing a lawsuit over that
hacking attack that exposed the phone andtext records of just about all of its

(01:33:45):
wireless customers. The legal action wasfiled in a federal court in Texas.
It alleges that AT and T isguilty of negligence in allowing the hack to
happen, and the company has notbeen transparent about security lapses. Bloomberg reported
that AT and T has paid thehackers to erase the stolen data. Casey

(01:34:05):
okay, and I'm sure they'll notmake a backup, So we got that
going for us. Thank you verymuch, sir, appreciate it. Jeff
Bellinger there, Bloomberg News. Allright, Oh, I mentioned this just
because I got a I got ashoehorn in stories that aren't related. Although
since this took place in Dallas,I guess there's like a small connection since

(01:34:27):
you know, it's presidential assassination weekhere on the show. But apparently the
big old Hooters in downtown Dallas.Yeah, that thing burst into flames,
man, Now it appears the customersand staff are able to get out of
there. Let's see, there wasone firefighter who I think suffered some minor

(01:34:50):
injuries trying to put the fire outon if it's it looks like some sort
of physical thing along with smoke inelation. So I don't know, have
some that collapsed or whatever. Butyeah, So if you're headed to Dallas
and you were all pumped to goget some chicken wings downtown, not gonna
be possible, not for a littlewhile. Oh what are they now?

(01:35:12):
What about the displacement of the staffthere? You know, we we went
we opened up our hearts a fewweeks ago here on this show when we
learned that forty different Hooters locations weregonna be shut down, offering up excess
space for any displaced waitresses. Unfortunately, I don't have room for a kitchen

(01:35:35):
staff, but you know, aplace to crash anything like that. We
started this charitable endeavor, and Ifeel like this charitable endeavor can also perhaps
aid in this situation. So we'rehere for you. Just wanted every I

(01:35:55):
just wanted you to know that that'sa that's the kind of show we run
around here, very giving a righta few things I want to leave you
with. I am going to bevery interested to see if we get any
sort of explanation on why the MSNBC'smorning program just was randomly off the air
yesterday. No explanation given. Somewould say that there are shining examples on

(01:36:24):
the Morning Joe Roster there in historyof some you know, some language that
I'm that were now being told isextremely troubling. So could that have factored
in. Perhaps maybe I don't know, but it's just strange, or maybe
they had technical issues. I don'tAre they broadcasting live from the RNC,

(01:36:45):
And if they are, then maybeit was just due to the fact that
they're there, but nothing was reallygoing on in the morning yesterday. Either
way, they're back at it today, so hell if I know, And
if they've given an explanation, Idon't know what it is is because I'm
busy doing this thing. I know, I'd love to be able to sit
back and watch Morning Joe not reallyrather stick to the john Wick have john

(01:37:11):
wickstick pencils in my ears. ButI am curious why they weren't there and
whether the msnbcs and CNNs of theworld really mean what it is that they're
saying, and the answer is Idon't know.
