Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Just absolutely unexpected. Don't know howwe're going to process it Monday, and
I think this is a wonderful opportunityto explain myself and I don't like to
do that, but I feel likethis has been a constant thing in my
life and it was how I knewI was emotionally different. This isn't like

(00:30):
on the spectrum stuff or anything likethat. This is just this is human
nature. And I think I don'tknow it aids me well in this particular
job. And I'm going to keepit very generic, but I think you're
gonna know what I mean by thething, and I ross I believe you're
like this too, which is whywe work well together. And it's always

(00:54):
hampered me when people are not likethis. You know, when something's a
thing, and it could just bea thing, a thing is the thing,
that is the topic, is theis the the reason that you're even

(01:14):
having a conversation. You know whata thing's a thing, and you all
know it's going to be a thing, or at least there is a strong
likelihood it's going to be a thing, and then the thing happens and everyone
is processing and emotionally reacting to thething. And you've you've already been there,

(01:38):
you've already done it. And itcan be things that it makes you
look cynical if it's a thing thatdoesn't turn out to be a thing,
right, But more often than not, the thing turns out to be a
thing. And so when everybody isdoing whatever they're doing, you're like,
yep, And in a way itmakes you look like, I don't know,

(02:00):
you're emotionally stunted or something, orno, you're trying to be a
know it all, but you're not. You're just that's ross, do you
know what I mean by the thingthat everyone knows is going to be a
thing completely and you have already eithercome to terms with it. If it's
a sad thing, you're already grumpy. If it's just a cynical thing,

(02:23):
Like let me give you an examplebefore, because you, I know,
you think you know what the thingis, but it doesn't have to just
be this thing. Let's say theBuffalo Bills have had an amazing season and
all they have to do is gointo Kansas City and oh, by the
way, Taylor Swift's going to besinging the national anthem with her boyfriend,

(02:46):
and you just got to be youjust gotta beat the Chiefs, you're even
favored. How you feel about thatgame, buddy, I mean listen,
like every year, sorry year,sorry yeah, yeah, yeah, but
probably losing that game. But thenyou go on the Twitter and you look
at you know hashtag, you knowBill's Mafia, and you you you just

(03:09):
you just post the eight hundred numberfor hey, if you need somebody to
talk to, because you're like,yeah, I've already processed the thing.
Not everyone processed the fact that JoeBiden was going to drop out of this
race on Sunday, And like Icouldn't understand why the thing was a surprising

(03:29):
thing. And yet I'm just sittinghere like, yeah, we've already figured
ross and I'd already talked about audiofor the thing, and this has been
the thing that we've been talking aboutfor months, and like people around us
are like, can you believe thisthing? What do you think of this
thing? Yeah? And they're justand you come across as like either cynical

(03:51):
or know it all, and it'snot like and even when it's really tough
stuff like I'll admit this, Ithink it was far more emotionally tough for
me when my mom passed away.Before she passed away, when the doctor's
like a few weeks or a fewmonths, and then like a month,
it was like a month and aweek. And you know, my siblings,

(04:15):
a couple of my siblings are justlike, can you believe this?
And I'm like, I have to, I have to like temper the way
I'm talking about it. I'm like, I've been a wreck like a month
ago, so it's it's less now. And I don't judge them for the
way they're feeling. It's just Ithink it's just human nature how he processed

(04:36):
stuff, and in arguably that that'sfar more important than even the Biden thing,
which I mean, we're gonna talkdying ways from Sunday, But did
you see people that clearly hadn't processedthe thing yesterday? Because I saw a
lot of those people and Ross justplayed something for me this morning. That

(05:00):
dude needs a hug or that woman. I don't know is that it's a
dude, right, it's a dude. It's a dude. Is a young
man, yes, who needs ahug? Who's doing one of the classic
I'm in a car gonna yeah video? People? Yeah, I don't even
want to will you press play onit? I feel bad you you you

(05:21):
go ahead, go go go ahead. Yeah, well he's not he's not

(05:43):
gonna change his buying sir, ma'am. Person they gen Z, we need
to pad together, right right?Okay? And then what for gen Z's
first president? But I mean technicallyhe wasn't if you're but he wasn't the

(06:05):
first. If you're gen Z,maybe it might be the first one he
voted for. And it what didyou do it? Do you feel like
you're guilty in some way? Rossyou added that music? Of course?
Right? I know. I believewhoever posted an X which will we I
will repost on X two in theshow. I got a Casey on the

(06:26):
radio. Think they put it inthe background, okay, because it's perfect,
it's it's a something, it's uhoh my like and and like I
feel I feel bad for that person. Again, I don't. I don't
like that this is happening with Bidenbecause you know, by he's still the

(06:50):
president and like all around did yousee some of the I saw people posting
over the weekend, like like cartoonsin other countries making fun of like the
Secret Service stuff that was going on. With Trump, like how does this
So like the world's watching and they'rewatching this with Biden, and you know,

(07:11):
there was a very cynical CNN dudewho's like it was sitting here talking
about this and he's just like,why do you guys talk about American strength?
What is it? It is theperception of us, and part of
that perception is whoever's in charge.And it could be accurate or inaccurate.
You know, there was remember allthe discussion. They're like, you know,

(07:33):
the world all around the world,other leaders like they don't know what
Trump will do. And part ofme is like good, I mean less
good for you know, like theNetherlands, in France and people we generally
get along with, but crazy peoplein the Middle East or little run dictators

(07:55):
with dukes. Good, I'm finewith that. But the amount of in
Okay, so that's a random ina car and I don't know if it's
for the camera. Van Jones,of all people, knew this thing was
a thing, right And he sayshe knew and and I guess it's just

(08:16):
how people process stuff differently. Idon't know, no fancy music, here's
Van Jones. Even people who arepushing for this to happen. It's kind
of like like when when your whenyour grandpa, you gotta take the keys,
and everybody you gotta take his keys. You gotta take his keys.
You gotta and and and and he'sfighting and he's fighting. Everybody's so frustrated,
and then you finally get the keysback and then you just cry because

(08:39):
this is somebody that you love.This is something, by the way,
Uh, one day when i'm grandpaage, I'm gonna have an extra set
of keys, so scoreboard I win. Okay, just just think that it's
already in the works. Okay,all right, anyway, I'm sorry,
go ahead. Didn't you care aboutThis is somebody who was therefore he is

(09:00):
somebody you wouldn't be here without him, and you had to take something from
him. Now, this is notlook, this is politics. Is politics
crying, by the way, Butthis is a human moment for one of
the great humans in America. Thisis a huge moment for him, for
his family, for all of uswho love him, for all of us
who wanted him to get across thefinish line. But if you're a young

(09:20):
person watching this, this is leadership. This is patriotism. This is what
it means to put the country first, and put the party first, and
put the This is the talking points, by the way, is we'll come
to find its first. When yourarm gets tired, to let somebody else
finish pitching the game. That's whatJoe Biden has done, and he's done
that for all of us. Andso is he speaking to Pedro Martinez?

(09:45):
I feel like he is. Isthat too soon? Okay? I just
I want to say. I don'tknow who's going to be the VP,
the non VP. I don't knowanything about politics. I just know that
I love this man. I careabout this man. It was painful every
day to sit up here talk abouthim like he's just a you know,
some some problem for the party.Wait till we get to the convention.
You're gonna see people he is standing, screaming, cheering. I get a

(10:09):
chance to talk for ten minutes.We finally get a chance to put our
arm around this guy. And thecynical means like, I hope we're going
to see that, because that's howyou get that. And then I run
in on the radio to fill timeand make money. So yeah, it
is a little cynical. But thething was a thing. We all knew

(10:31):
it was a thing, and theamount of screwing yesterday was amazing because now
Van just kind of explained the talkingpoints. That's the talking points. We
owe it a debt of gratitude.Can you believe this? I'll read you
some headlines. It drove me crazyyesterday, the amount of op eds that

(11:01):
instantaneously appeared, going, I can'tbelieve this, but here is here's why.
It's an amazing feel good story.And it's like you had the article
ready to go. How are youacting like this is your this is your

(11:22):
live reaction. It was so disingenuousand we'll get to the details of it,
and there is Look, there's otherstories. I have to I have
to delete an entire directory of myaudio archives, or at least take it
away from the butt bars so Idon't accidentally use it. That was an

(11:48):
unexpected thing, but me maybe notas much. I don't know. We'll
get into it coming up here onthe Cacoday Radio program. Your program director,
here's the thing about the thing,all right, enjoy, we're gonna
do a show now there we goto do. They really like videos now,

(12:09):
so I'm gonna knock that out rightaway and I'll see see you on
this ross in case I don't knowwhatever to do to do. That's right.
Doing this on the air is send. All right, I get back
to the thing. So, howmany of you saw Ramaswami. I'm gonna

(12:35):
butcher that dude's name forever. Nothingpersonal, although I did have an interesting
interaction with one of our listeners whois Indian. I don't think you ever
lived in India, but he's gotan Indian name and he's just like,
I don't get him right, SoI feel less bad. It's nothing personal.

(12:58):
AnyWho, We need to send himsome vowels, some of these names.
But Ramaswami I could wrap my headaround. So this is from what
almost a year ago? Yeah,it's from a November of twenty twenty three.
Okay, this is and I rememberwhen he said it. I'm like,
yeah, that's probably yeah, Likeit's not he's not psychic. No,

(13:22):
this isn't shocking. Like I said, We've been talking about this forever.
That's why it was so amazing whenhe had the Milton of the debate,
because it's like it finally happened,like in front of cameras where people
could see my only thing with thedebate is I just wanted to I didn't
want Trump to do what he didduring their first debate, going back to
the like, because then you wouldn'tyou wouldn't be able to see it.

(13:45):
You could just because you could argueaway that he was being screened at.
But when Trump shot up, honestly, I think when Trump didn't like go
at him, whoever whoever was inthe back spin room for Biden was like,
oh no, well, I meanhe kind of have had to because
of the way that the bike setup. They scare themselves over and that
was of their own asking. Allright, here is uh, here's vivic.

(14:09):
I also want to close with onemessage to the Democrat Party. End
this farce that Joe Biden is goingto be your nominee. We know he's
not even the president of the UnitedStates. He's a puppet for the managerial
class. So have the guts tostep up and be honest about who you're
actually going to put up so wecan have an honest debate. Biden should
step aside, end his candidacy nowso we can see whether it's Newsom or
Michelle Obama, whoever else. Justtell us the truth. So we can

(14:33):
have an yep rolster you were goingand I'm just like, yeah, it's
probably accurate. That's what's so wildto me, Like, how did you
see yourself getting out of it?If you haven't seen the reaction from the
packs like pro Trump packs, itis, in my opinion, it's the

(14:54):
exact way to tackle this, andit will be the mess just like there
was messaging yesterday. What was Ijust was just losing it. I was
a tweeting machine yesterday. Here tobe Oh wow, Ross, this is
the first time I've seen the dudein the car crying. That is that

(15:18):
was the picture in my head.Oh he's hitting himself. Oh no.
Often times Trump decides he's going tohave a different set of messaging and that
will that will quickly come to light. So the messaging from the Republican side,
I should say, the Trump side, trump packs. Sometimes even the

(15:39):
Republican Party is different, and that'sfine. I don't think that's necessarily a
bad thing. It's like, youknow what it is. It's like the
twenty twenty five project thing, right. A lot of that stuff is probably
exactly what Trump would do, butit's not his thing. He's got a
much more ominous age thing, right, So is there going to be crossover?

(16:04):
Sure, So we'll wait and seewhat trump'sy is. But I think
the packs have They've gone probably inthe direction that if I was the political
strategist, I'd be on board with, and that is moving on to Kamala
because there's two sets of messaging fromthe left. We'll talk about that in

(16:26):
a moment. But now that they'vemoved on, that's where the pack is
going to focus its energy. Andit doesn't necessarily mean she's going to be
the candidate who knows what's going tohappen in Chicago. But this is the
ad and I'm sure this thing hasbeen ready to go for a while.
Here we go. Kamala was inon it. She covered up Joe's obvious

(16:48):
mental decline. Our president is ingood shape, in good health, tireless,
vibrant, and I have no doubtabout the strength of the work that
we have done. But Kamalin knewJoe couldn't do the job, so she
did it. Look what she gotdone, a border invasion, runaway inflation,
the American dream dead. They createdthis mess. They no Kamala owns

(17:11):
this failed record. Make America GreatAgain, Inc. Is responsible for the
content of this advertising. All right, So two thoughts immediately, Well,
the first thought is, yeah,that makes sense. I see where you're
going here. The second thought is, I don't know that that's true because
that implies that she was the onemoving the puppet, and I just don't

(17:33):
think she was. And the thirdthought is, there was a moment,
and I don't know if it's thatphoto of her in the field on her
phone, like we did it,we did it. There was a moment.
Maybe it was like, you know, she got summoned over to the
White House for their monthly meeting orwhatever, and she had to be sitting
there going I'm gonna be president.She never verbally, maybe she's not obviously

(18:02):
not to anyone who's talking, butthere had to be a moment, right
or at the very least she's like, if I'm not gonna be president,
I'm gonna be the nominee or something. But it had to have happened.
That's the cynic in me. Butthat's probably accurate. So painting her as
the puppet master makes sense because sheeither has to go no, those are

(18:23):
I didn't want to be borders?Are I wasn't given any real power,
and then it speaks to somebody elsepulling the strings or you own it.
I guess the third thing is youjust don't respond to it, which is
probably what they're gonna do. ButI don't think I'm wrong and I don't
think I'm cynical, all right,So that is that's the positioning from the

(18:48):
Trump pack, which I guess youcould almost argue it's disingenuous, like do
they really believe that Kabola was makingthose decisions? They can't do the most
grandiose conspiracy on the internet, right, Well, there's two of them.
But uh, is did Joe Bideneven signed? Was he aware of that
letter? Or did did you justwitness a coup? Because there's not There

(19:15):
wasn't a signing ceremony, and they'resaying that the letter didn't have the presidential
seal on it. Yeah, theydidn't want him because you know what if
you put a camera in his faceand ask him to do it? What
if he Wolf of wall Street's it. For those of you familiar with the
movie, there's a scene in therewhere DiCaprio's character is basically told, Hey,

(19:37):
if you just quit, you justresign and take your millions, millions
and millions you have scrolled away inSwiss bank accounts and yachts or whatever.
We're done here. That's it.And so he is he literally gathers the
troops. We can't play the scenebecause it's all f bombs, but and

(20:00):
he's he's on the microphone and he'she's he's telling them, hey, I'm
leaving, and there's a moment wherehe goes literally, fit, I'm staying
and it's it's a whole big thingin the movie. And I have to
wonder. I have to wonder ifthere was concern that if you, hey
have the president's going to speak tonightand he makes that speech, he does

(20:23):
the Dixon thing that they were afraid. He starts doing the thing that he's
done where he starts trying to fightpeople right, and it's like, you
know, what, if you wantme to tears the letter up like Pelosi
did the State of the Union copy, f it, I'm staying, right,
because that's just that's just nightmare fuelfor the people around him. So

(20:48):
people, you know, it's likewhen they were telling you, Ginsburg is,
oh no, she's totally reading thetranscripts and rendering decisions. And there
was a small part of me that'slike, is she or are her clerks
just you know, oh yeah,now this is what she said. That's
why this is Like, wasn't unexpected. I don't seen this coming since twenty

(21:10):
twenty, like when he was campaigningdown his basement behind like a big wall
of teleprompters, right and all thisstuff was that it did. And people
are like, oh, it's becauseof COVID. He's doing it because he
cares about the people and he doesn'twant to spread COVID and Trump is irresponsible
and having these giant rel No,it was because he started showing signs of
dementia which they would see on camera. He would call voters fat and he
would go off the handle and they'djust throw them down to his voters,

(21:30):
his voters. Yeah, and dogface pony soldiers and who there's there's too
many examples. And I think forthe longest time they thought they could keep
it under wraps, like just givehim whatever the cocktail they gave him to
jack him up. You know,he's ready to go. He do find
the debates and that he would sleepthe rest of the days. But yeah,
and stopped working. But unfortunately,you're probably dealing with something that it

(21:53):
doesn't just stay it it gets worse. We talked about this last week,
and I was very emotional about thisbecause I was very upset with it.
If there is a legacy there,and again, it's not like we're talking
about Jimmy Carter and people having torethink how they felt about, you know,
being in the gas lines, youknow, years ago. Like you

(22:18):
don't have to reflect necessarily on howyou feel and and reinvent it. Like
you can literally go, how didI feel yesterday about how things are going
in this country? Right? Butthat's exactly what they're doing. Though they're
like, oh, he was agreat elder statesman, and by the way,
Kamala Harris is the greatest person toever run for president. They turned
on a dime out of the Obamas, right, they had that last part,

(22:45):
So who the hell knows what we'rein for? I don't, that's
the part, Like, admittedly Ididn't know if he would resign the presidency.
I think if they would have allbeen there too endorse Kamala, then
he goes I just I can't.I just don't think it's fair and I'm

(23:07):
going to you know, effective whateverand and you know, juice some one
last time for for some sort ofceremony to hand over the keys. I
would understand that, and I thinkthat actually, but then you can't leave
because you're still there's still a bigenough swath of voters that may choose somebody

(23:29):
else, and what those rules aregoing to look like? It was old
speculation last week where like super delegatescan't vote in the first round and they'll
be you know, the whole weekof campaigning to see who it is.
And then how do you do itbecause usually you do the VP announcement the
day before. I don't know,but you also just told what seventeen million

(23:52):
voters. Yeah, I know thisis what you said, but not so
much and I don't know how peopleare gonna feel about that. So that's
the messaging on the other side.You know what I'm hearing from. You
use a lot of panic. DoI sound panic? Sounds like here today?
Yeah, you're definitely in panic.You've seen that right in social media?
Oh yeah, these accounts like everybodyon the right your panic and you're

(24:15):
afraid of Kamala. But what doyou mean? You mean the one that
dropped out first in the primaries andgot less than one percent of the vote,
who arguably had the strongest debate.Right, she torched Biden. Yeah,
but then she got wrecked by TulciGabbard. Yes she did. But
you could explain that away as Tulsiis a fake Democrat, right, which

(24:37):
is what they were doing, andpeople were fine with that. But no,
in fact, uh, that's anotheragain. I was just losing my
mind. The dw's an observer again. Kamala Harris is running for president?
Can she beat Donald Trump? Towhich I wrote, nope. Any other
questions? Okay, thanks for comingby, Ted Talk. I I feel

(25:00):
pretty confident in that that may bethe Hillary Clinton. Here's a picture of
the next president. You know.Screw up on my part. I think
Hillary was easily the most hated ornegative candidate right to ever run for president
and she got Kamala Harris is nowshe might Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

(25:21):
But the thing with Hillary is,at least if we're going through the
audio archives, we can find somethingwhere she's saying something on about an issue
or about policy and it sounds coherentand you might not agree with the point,
but at least she's making a point. You can tell me. With
Harris, it is hard to findeven a ten second clip where she sounds
competent. You know what, youknow, I accept your challenge. I'm

(25:44):
gonna look see what we have inthe audio archives, just on the random,
just on the random, and we'llcheck that work. And let me
let me do this. Callers,hang on, I'm gonna come right back
and we will get your calls.We'll check the audio archives. We got
some other archived audio that I haveto like keep away from me. So
I don't know. Maybe you knowwhat, maybe we will eulogize that,

(26:07):
Okay, and we'll do it next. Hang on the legacy of somebody,
there is, you know, themomentary legacy when they when they when they're
done right, or when they passaway, and then there's the reflective legacy
like George W. Bush, Right, George W. Bush clearly is not

(26:30):
perceived by the left as he wassold during his time in office. And
that's like, that's the cynicism ofpolitics. And it's that it was the
standard run for any Republican president.One moment, he's an evil genius four
dchs. It's that Reagan SNL thingright, or he's an idiot. And

(26:52):
I always say, you can't haveit both ways. They can't be a
master and a moron at the sametime. It doesn't work. But usually
there's some space there, and sowith George W. Bush, it was

(27:14):
we need to demonize the next guy, So we go, hey, look,
how great. The last one ofhim was oh yeah, we always
you know, photos with the Obamas, and we disagreed, but it was
all good natured. This guy isliterally Hitler, so predictable. So the

(27:36):
problem is they didn't have any spaceto do it over the weekend, so
we just got we got all theseop eds, all these talking heads.
We got people like Roy Cooper,Cupper Cooper whatever, our own governor,
who was among the first to immediatelyfall in line with the Kamala Harris stuff.
Now, is it self serving becausehe wants to be the VP?

(27:59):
Perhaps perhaps it is, you knowPete was when we were talking to Pete
on Friday, He's like, you'reprobably doomed whoever runs with her that they're
not going to put you in themix again. But maybe in Cooper's mind
it's like, well, you know, at least a shot is better than
no shot because of how hard itis to get there. But the op

(28:22):
eds where they're just like, allright, you know here, I know
how you, I know how youthink you feel about Joe. But it's
a hero story. The tale inthe messaging was he was able to go
in and stop Trump. So evenif you don't like what he did,
it's the single thing he did firstthat you need to remember him for.

(28:47):
And then they just want you tofall in line with that, or they
want I guess people would be receptiveto fall in line with that, and
I and News and observer. Nomatter how you feel about Joe Biden,
he deserves our thanks. Maybe ifyou if you think he did a good
job. But like and I wrote, he's literally the dude connected to the
way you feel, live, surviveright now, check your current feels and

(29:12):
respond appropriately. It's it's madness tothink that you're just like all the all
the the conversation that I had thelast time I was at the coffee shop
or whatever, where I'm just likeI went to the grocery store and it
cost me nine thousand dollars and thisis I can't, this is horrible,
this is bad. Why are wedoing this what happened in Afghanistan? What

(29:36):
what is anyone going to be heldresponsible for the thing that was the thing
a week ago that actually was kindof surprising, but even in a way
a little not that's what's wild anduh now we had uh I'll probably yelled

(29:59):
at for this. So we havethe email go out. Whenever there's a
big story, they send an emailfrom you know, the smoke field rooms
that manage our company, right,and they're just like, hey, and
the email is clearly not for Rossand I right, it's for shows on
music stations where they don't really dopolitics understandably, right, And but because

(30:22):
they realize this is a big thingand be prepared to talk about it.
And this sounds horrible and people aregonna get mad at me. I feel
like I feel like you ever seea scene in a movie where they're just
like, it's a it's a roomfull of like Navy seals or whatever,
and they bring in some you know, some guys from the local police station.

(30:44):
And I'm not bashing, but youknow how they play it out right,
and the Navy seals are like,great, we got this, but
what fine? Okay? And soit's a little like that when you when
you do this every day, causeyou understand how to communicate about this time.
I mean, you understand people aregoing to be mad. But we

(31:07):
could have had that conversation like aweek ago. I mean, like I
said, we've been having that conversationfor months ago, even years, right
right right that this was inevitable andit was going to happen. That's why
that it was last week. Tome, it was more shocking and surprising
because it was unexpected, right,even if it was a little expected that
somebody might try to do something tothis dude, like that was a I
was constantly worried. I was constantlyworried somebody might try to do something to

(31:29):
Biden. How horrible we are toeverybody right now. But still it was
surprising. And what is not surprisingis I just realized I'm gonna have to
do callers in the next segment.I'm very sorry. It's one of those
days. It's the thing about thething, even though it's a thing everyone
expected, which is why those opeds were able to go out in five
minutes, Like you're if you're thepublisher of the newspaper, obviously those were

(31:56):
written. It's like when they havean obituary ready to go, right,
you know, you got one bigtopic there, though I do have a
few other things that I want tovisit. But and we're gonna do calls,
I promise here in like one minute. I just have to scene set
right because we're opening an hour andthe focus of today's show is there's a
thing, and it's a thing thathappened, and it's weird to me that

(32:19):
everyone's only yesterday started processing it.And then somebody said, and now you're
attacking your colleagues. No, no, no, no, here's what I'm
saying about, like the company sendingan email. Most morning shows don't do
politics, right. It's it's justnot you know, it's like the things
you shouldn't discuss in public used tobe, like you don't get into religion
and politics at you know, arandom gathering if you're smart. And that

(32:45):
ship has sailed. I think we'repast that, especially when you have like
with Obamacare, where they had pajamaboys, like, hey, go ruin
Thanksgiving for everybody. So maybe we'rebeyond that. But most morning shows don't
do it. And and it's smartbecause it's a respite and so you also
have a big swath of people whothey don't know what's going on. You

(33:07):
see the videos like where they're justout on the boardwalk who's the president?
They don't know? And I envythose people some days, I really do.
I'm like, that must be nice. One of my favorite things to
do when I did do music radionight was I would ask the random callers
who is vice President of the UnitedStates? And they had no idea.
No, well you did it.That poor guy from Jersey Shore was mean

(33:30):
though, Oh yeah, no,the situation. Yeah, interviewed the situation
where situation live at the club andthe music's going in the background. I'm
asking him about Syria. Yeah,what do you think that's going on?
I'm serious. Yeah, he's gota bag of money. A bag of
money, Yeah, walking around likemoney. I'm the sitch. Yeah,
you don't know. It would havebeen more impressive if he gave an answer

(33:52):
that was like totally like, well, I've been studying this. He's like
nav if or he's just like fistpumping and he's like, man, I
just wish we could all just partyand get along, you know. GTL
Let's go baby. Yeah, JimChanning Lot, what the gym got blown
up, sitch, How do youdeal with that? Yeah, I mean

(34:13):
I envy that. So, yes, there's a reason that on you know,
one of our top forty stations somewherein America, the stunt boy who
normally is like, we're gonna sendhim and he's gonna eat feces and in
Poderia or whatever, is having towork with the girl who giggles the whole
time to put a TikTok together becausethere is gonna be a There is a
swath of people who probably were genuinelysurprised. But when you are the opinion

(34:39):
editor and everything else that you produceis targeted at people who are plugged in,
it's wild to me that you thinkyou're going And maybe this is when
you shift gears and that's when you'retalking to them. And maybe stunt boy
and giggle girls have another term thatwe use, but I can't say it

(35:01):
on the radio, But you know, you know what I'm talking about,
Zoo Crew morning show stuff. There'sa reason they don't normally do politics,
but they're going to have to today. And I get that, and again
I'm envious of it someday sometimes,But for you who listen to this show
and listen to this type of thing. It's it's not the icing that that

(35:23):
you're here for. You want toknow what's in the cake, and that's
what we're all trying to figure out. All right, here we go to
the phones. Jimmy, thanks forhanging on. What's up? Everybody knows
that the Democrats know that they've donelost. They up the worst people they
can. They're not gonna throw upthey got from Pennsylvania to the Jewish and

(35:46):
the Squaw's gonna go against or they'renot gonna throw up Pete Boy Booty Judge
because he was the worst transportation guy. So they all will put Warwick Cop
out of there. But it doesn'tmatter. They know they've already lost.
Yeah, I think Vidijj actually willget floated. But you're right, sir.
It's if you're down six runs inyou know, Game two of the

(36:06):
World Series, you're not bringing inyour your your your closer, right,
And that that does make a lotof sense. So that it Yeah,
because anyone that puts their toe inthe water knows that this is it.
You get one run and uh,and what's gonna happen is they're gonna start
working on the next four years,and they're gonna work against They know that

(36:27):
JD. Vance is gonna be thenext pig for the president exactly, so
they're gonna work under somebody like GavinGavin Newsom. They're gonna work on him
if they decide they want to usehim, Gavin Newsomb against J. D.
Van that's what they're gonna work onnext year. They're gonna be like,
look, this this four years isover. Let's just move on.
Let her go up there. She'sthe worst vice president in the world.

(36:47):
Just pick somebody, throw it besideher, make it look good, and
let it go. Take your asI heard, and thank you for the
culture. As I heard a hundredtimes watching the British Open, you gotta
take your medicine. When those guysare in those those pop bunkers right where
it's impossible to hit it forward andhe just got to hit it back.
It's wild to watch, but it'strue. And then you'll see you guys

(37:09):
like, nah, I can getit up in time, and then he
hits it and he's still in thebunker. That being said, if you
have the lead, don't get complacent. And but no Jimmy's apps. Absolutely
right. If you're the Democrats,you could have done this much more gracefully
and just taken your medicine and yourmedicine was you just you had to do
something. We had to get Bidenin there. But now it's not going

(37:29):
to work except that there's going tobe four years of what you don't like.
But like, cause you need fouryears to soften Newsom's image. Just
have him not sign anything crazy forfour years. People's memories are short,
but when stuffs expect it. Likeif you told me Ross, tell me
if you'd be surprised if we foundout that I don't know Boston pol right,

(37:51):
they he got pulled over on Ifort He was doing a hundred and
Winnebago had no pants on. There'sa bunch of empties. Okay, I
could have seen that coming. Ohlook at that. Oh Boston Paul's on
the phone, Hey, Boston Paul, what's up. You're right. My
memory is like a goldfish. Youknow. I forgot about the open already.
I forgot about Sheila Jackson Leed passingaway, not coming down for breakfast

(38:13):
today. And but to Biden,he's in the basement right now. Watching
reruns of Hazel and Perry Mason.And then they're gonna put him in the
car and bring him back and bringhim into the fake White House, and
there'll be the president for the nextfour years. He doesn't know what's going
on. He always, you know, constructed. Are you implying that they

(38:37):
constructed a replica White House and they'rejust gonna stick him in it? Because
I love that conspiracy. Yes,I am, don't. Don't you remember
they did? They had the fakeWhite House. He's a fake oval office
half of it. Yeah, whybut I mean that's what you see.
They went. They went further,right, Yeah, they've got a fake

(38:57):
limousine and a bunch of out inblack yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
yeah yeah. One day he getssuspicious, gets on a boat. It
ruins everything, all right, andthen he and then another one was the
former congressman for there he that Bidenwas This decision was heroic and courageous.

(39:19):
I mean, come on, holdinga gun to the guy he's head for
crying out loud or not or not. They're like, hey, sign this
this this this congratulatory letter to hermonsters who knows and he just say,
okay, signs it. Yeah,the chicken shown big bamboo shigne. All
right, I'm embracing, all right, Bosst Paul. Please don't get caught
on eye forty pantsless in your motorhome. Okay, we will get here,

(39:43):
all right, Yeah, yeah,well five minutes from now, it
may well happen. We don't know. Also, he was sending me emails.
He's got like three or four setsof key so if you're his family
listening, he's got more than two, just so as you know, let
me grab this, Jamal, what'sgoing on? Hey, k see,

(40:04):
I'm so glad Ross said that aboutdon't become complacent and let me let people
know something. They're not surrendering thenext four years. They're about to run
the Obama twoenty twelve campaign. Wegot a black woman. Oh, this
is a chance to make history.Black folks that I know y'all upset.

(40:25):
I know y'all angry, and JoeBiden didn't do everything. But this is
a chance to put your sister inoffice. This is the chance to put
at aka. They're about to runracism, bigotry, sexism on steroids.
And I have always been against JoeBiden stepping down because the media now gets

(40:49):
to duct their responsibility for this buffleup for Joe Biden. This is goes
beyond just he resigning. They knewDemocrats, Nancy Posey, Chuck Humor,
everyone who playing up there was init a democrat and public office lew This
man was like this. The meetingof knew this man was like this.
There was let me let me pause, let me hold on, let me

(41:12):
pause you for a second. There'stwo things I just want to inject your
One, there was a stat lastweek that came out that said that Joe
Biden had lost thirty one percent ofblack female votes voters. That and like
the Rachel Maddow paused, she wasso stunned. And two, there was
a report that Pelosi called Biden Ithink Saturday this came out called Biden was

(41:34):
like trying to tell him, hey, this is it, and he got
he was yelling at her, andshe said, put your campaign whoever was
put put an adult on the phone. And that's wild to explain to that
person. Hey, here's the numbers, and and like that blew my mind

(41:55):
hearing that story. So yeah,no, I think you're correct, and
that is the campaign we're going tosee. But I don't think they think
it's going to be successful. Ifthey will, yes, oh no,
no, yes they do, Casey, I'm gonna tell you why they think
it's successful, because here's the thing, and you know, and you know
I can take this and you don'thave all. I have always called for

(42:15):
the same restrictions on the Second Amendmentwe put on the first when it comes
to freedom of the press, becausethey are just as dangerous as a gun,
because they can see here and rowpeople up and cause a riot like
the eighteen ninety six on Wimbledon riotsat the Raleigh Times, which earned they
new and observe cause the Wimbledon raceriots down there where they did a lot.

(42:38):
The press covered this man up.We have far too long cases,
especially us conservative Republicans. We keeptrying to hold on to the way things
we want them to be instead ofwhat they are today. The press and
the way they have acted covered upfor this man started to deep think because

(42:59):
to Kareem John Pierre, she satdown and said in one of her her
presses when people started questioning after rightafter the debate, she said, well,
the deep faith came from you,guys, The deep faith came from
you. Guys. Then the pressreturned back like, hey, giving her
a little bad coverage. Right now, we're about to see the bad coverage
go away. They're gonna be allKamala this every capital and people forgot.

(43:22):
She didn't the reason why she waschose because all because she was black,
that was it. And the blackwe know that black woman, and Biden
said it, yes, that isn'tus conjecture. They said it so yes,
and no one said anything about that'sracist. Hold up, the whole
movement of the MLK movement was gonnajudge me by my fall, judge me

(43:45):
by my content. Black folks didn'teven want Kamala Harrison twenty twenty, you
know, And I'm watching these I'mwatching black tailed people like Roland Martin and
the data lady was saying last weekthat you had to put her there because
black folks really want to thrill withJoe Biden and everything. But I'm like,
the whole argument now is going tobe pushing a racial coalition against President

(44:09):
Trump to try to tear him down. I'm gonna tell people right now,
the Democrat Party have succeeded on peoplesaying they trying, They're gonna try to
boost up govern newsen They don't haveto boost They have torn President Trump down
for eight years to where somebody triedto kill the man. But you literally
had Joe Biden say well, I'mnot well saying he's a threat to democracy

(44:30):
and he's evil because people like myselfare Republicans like myself have a different vision
for America. We are a threatto democracy. We hate people, we
want to have people killed. No, I don't want children murder through abortion.
Norm it's wrong, and I havea right Republicans. Yeah, I
mean, I'm sorry just because we'regonna go in nine thousand new directions.

(44:51):
I agree with you. I guessmaybe we disagree on whether what they think
in their mind. I think thatthey no. But I think the divide
and the split that was happening withJean Pierre. And thank you for the
Calljamal. And the media, you'reabsolutely right. The media they got punched
by their co conspirator and they're like, oh, really, all right,

(45:13):
we'll do it. And now thisis the ability to just pretend that it
didn't happen. It is the messagingyesterday included. This is the most important
political story of our lifetime, andthe Stones, the absolute cohonies to say
that a week after what we justwatched is bonkers. What will in twenty

(45:40):
years and when you reflect back,what do you think will be the thing
that you go, Oh, yeah, I remember where I was when this
happened. Would it be when somebodyliterally shot the former president or will it
be when Joe Biden said, youknow, I'm not going to campaign and

(46:01):
well they can figure it out atthe at the convention, right like an
next president getting shot and like bouncingup like Rocky Balboa with the power to
saying fight fight, fight with thatdude with that famous photo or the the
dementia patient bowing out that we allknew was going to bow out. Did
you see all the sports? Dieguy, I'm just golfers and I'm so
I'm so sad. I didn't seethis so right after the show, so

(46:22):
like some people were at the HipI mic sorry, Like they had a
couple of golfers that were doing likethe Trump fist at the British the British
Yeah, I saw British announcers waslosing his mind, like this isn't a
place for politics, Yeah yeah,yeah, yah yeah. And I'm just
like oh you know that one ofthe rotational courses literally was the Acilia course

(46:44):
at Turnbury, which I think heowns now, yes he does, Like
I can't believe that. And thenbaseball players were doing it too, and
it was crazy to watch the reactions. I mean, you know, I
think Kamala is going to get thenominated, but there are people, other
people within the Democratic Party, evenhigher ups her, believing that their next

(47:04):
step is to remove her from theticket to well there's look, there's a
quarter billion dollars at stake here.Does it go back to donnersy and do
they spend it for down ballot?I don't know. Wait, hold on,
they's got an email back from theboss. Do you're on air talent?
That was a little sarcastic my email. Thank you for your video.
It's been edited down for our genZ consumption. Good look at that whom

(47:28):
buy y'all. That's what we doaround here. We bring people together,
all generations, except for the representativeof gen Z in this video, which
is a whole thing. Yeah,yeah, he did. If this guy

(47:49):
an ice cream or something, ohthat would remind him of by Oh,
don't do that. That's who's gonnasee my video. He's having a day
and not in the good way whereyou have a day. We need to
pad together. Good luck. Yeah, bring up pineapple on pizza. That'll

(48:15):
hook him. All right, we'llbe back hang on. Which there's a
couple of things that are that arein from an analysis, perspective or crazy
that are going on right now.Sake kind of intimated that the whole thing
that there is going to be thisa contest of the convention, is merely

(48:37):
a show so that Kamala can riseto the top. Right. It will
it will show that she was ableto vanquish those around her, and it
will be very It'll be indicative ofwho the challengers are because if it is
a show, it has to bepeople who never will have presidential aspiration in

(49:00):
for real, right, because they'regoing to be slayed for the purpose of
It's like a political jobber. Yes, one hundred percent, hundred percent.
And so that's the theory that's outthere. The other analysis that I think
is wild and this is on CNNand I just saw this. We don't
have the audio, but I'll explainit to you. There's a bunch there's

(49:24):
you know, they got the groupof people there and they're going through the
maybe's right and Cooper's in there,and they get to the Pennsylvania governor Shapiro,
and without saying why they're saying it, somebody says something. They all
instantly agree and recognize why he's sayingit, but it's never said aloud,

(49:46):
and basically it's said that his backgroundend quote, heritage could be a problem.
Do you know why they're saying that? Why would the governor of Pennsylvania
be problematic in rallying Democratic support?Well, he's Jewish. So they're literally

(50:07):
in with all of their experts they'resaying, yeah, but you know that
might not be good for voter turnout. They instantly recognize why he's saying that,
nod their heads, and then moveon. I mean, that is
such a bad look. But it'strue if right, if, but that's

(50:28):
the story, right, if that'sa major story, Yes, you should
get it, get an interurn outthere to go, hey, don't you
think it's weird that, like weall think that this wouldn't work because he's
Jewish and why would that alienate athird of our voters? Right? Because
the percentage of your voters would claimhe was a Zionist or against Palestine,
if if, if the Republicans aregetting ready to nominate Ben Carson right for

(50:50):
and and there was the five weresitting around on Fox News and Guttfeldt's like,
yeah, but yeah, I don'tknow, I don't know, and
then they all just nod their headsmove on. I it would be a
feeding frenzy over at CNN. That'swhat you just said. You just said
that. But the person you're nowgoing back to sake, the person you're

(51:15):
now going to have to vanquish thejobbers could knock herself out coming off the
top rope. How do I know? We have audio archives? Let's find
some presidential Okay, Ross, Iasked you just to throw up the first
cuts that you found, right.You didn't preview these, You just grabbed
them and put them up right.All they did was go to the system

(51:36):
search. Kamala, Yeah, yeah, this one came up all right in
that order. Let's uh, let'slet's let's listen for the presidential shall we?
And I'll even tell you what they'relabeled. Uh, And I'll and
some of the labels I remember,some I don't, All right, Kamala
intro for Okay, So this iswhen she's sitting at a table and it's
a bunch of advocates for people theyYeah, I saw him claiming it was

(51:59):
advocates for people with disabilities, butit's actually some of that, but it's
also activist groups that are trying toexplain why they should be able to help
your kid transition and never tell you. Okay, all right, So this
is how she opens the meeting.Good afternoon. I want to welcome these
leaders for coming in to have thisvery important discussion about some of the most

(52:23):
pressing issues of our time. Okay, I am Kamaala Harris my planouns or
she and her I'm a woman sittingat the table wearing a blue suit.
Well, sorry to hit the buttonagain, all right. And then I
saw that it was so disingenuous asI saw people because that clip was getting

(52:43):
posted and like, she's talking toadvocates for the blind. That's not why
she's saying any of that. AndI think there was somebody there who is
not blind, who works with anorganization for advocacy. But the storyline around
that was like this is how youBecause people are like, well, isn't
it weird that like all interactions.You need to do the pronoun thing first

(53:06):
and like, no, it's perfectlynormal. Here's what it looks like.
And everyone's like, this is weird. Man. So that is the clip.
Take it for what it's worth.All right, maybe not her best
moment, but all right, let'stalk about you know, one thing that
people look to is the family.That's a big thing that the RNC was

(53:30):
trying to do. That's why theyhad Trump's granddaughter come in and going,
ah, he's just it's grandpa.He gives me sweets, talks a little
trash on the golf course. Bythe way, I saw a picture.
She's seventeen. Her golf swing isridiculous, but you know it probably helps
grandpa owns like, you know,all these some of the legacy golf courses

(53:50):
of the world, probably pretty helpful. That being said, she absolutely her
drive is ridiculous. Good for her, right, But they wanted to They
wanted to family man Trump. Solet's hear how Kamala interacts with her family.
Show we In fact, I'm goingto share with you a very simple
story, which is that I wenthome one day and I said, well,
what's why are conservatives bad? Mommy? Because I thought supposed to conserve.

(54:16):
I couldn't reconcile it. Now Ican never tell her a joke.
Is that cackle worse than the Hillarycackle? I don't know. I thought
about that. Man, you havethe Hillary. It's on my other button,
bar. Where is it on theIt's on the other page, right
the cackle? Hold on, We'llcome back to the cackle. I just

(54:39):
want I want to hit these inorder and we'll check. Now. I
don't know, man, that Hillarything something, it's a whole thing.
Yeah, I don't know. Shewas the og at it, so I
don't know. I saw people callingher cackles, and I remember that they

(55:00):
were calling Hillary cankles at one time. So I who knows. But we
don't even have to go there.It is what it is that being said.
All right, So here she's talkingabout AI. This is a big
pressing issue. Whoever's the next presidentwill be dealing with this in some capacity.
Help me out here. And Ithink the first part of this issue
that should be articulated is AI iskind of a fancy thing. It's,

(55:22):
first of all, it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence. But ultimately
what it is is it's about machinelearning, and so the machine is taught.
And part of the issue here iswhat information is going into the machine
that will then determine and we canpredict then if we think about what I

(55:46):
need to stimulate the information is goingin, what then will be produced in
terms of decisions? I can't,Okay, if somebody comes through a time
portal wearing Victorian Garb, right,they just show up. They're not in
the coalfield smoky streets of London anymorefrom eighteen ninety and they just got here.

(56:10):
You're having to explain why this thingthat they're interacting with is not a
human but sounds like that is theThat's what you would say to them.
Maybe, But if you're gonna explaineverything like it would be a really long
four years. I'm just saying,all right, let's talk about something that

(56:32):
man has pondered since the dawn oftime. What's out there? It's out
there at the beyond space is exciting, It spurs our imaginations, agree,
it forces us to ask big questions. Right, it affects us all,

(56:55):
and it connects us all. Imean, none of that is technically inaccurate.
But what was the point you weremaking again? This is the portal
thing. Do chows up look likeSherlock Holmes, Fine, but even he

(57:17):
might find it insulting. This one'sjust labeled jibbajabba. I have no idea
what this cut is. Let's hearit. Imagine a future. The freight
trucks that deliver bread and milk toour grocery store shelves, and the buses
that take children to school and parentsto work. Imagine all the heavy duty

(57:39):
vehicles that keep our supply lines strongand allow our economy to grow. Imagine
that they produced zero emissions. Thankyou, John Lowell. That's why we're
here today, because we have theability to see what can be, unburdened

(58:00):
by what has been, and thento make the possible actually happen. I
mean, if you're a frog hangingon with one little flipper off of a
flower and you're a motivational poster,that's perfect. What's the point are these

(58:21):
the trains to Hawaii that AOC wastalking? I'm so confused. You want
that for four years? Sign meup, all right? Raced agic for
the Weather Channel, he says,intelligent things. Imagine. Imagine there's a
cloud and it's dark and ominous.Imagine that it could be full of rain

(58:45):
and I want to go outside anddo something, and rape makes that thing
that follow me everywhere anyway, Goahead, sir, Yes, but what
if we could harness that rainfall rightwith your heart machine? Yes, I'm
with my heart machine. Yes.Yeah. It's been kinda gonna get off
again with the rain. Had someheavy rain overnight that's pushing east now,

(59:06):
but still across the triangle seeing showers. The heaviest showers in Wayne County though,
just to the east out of nearGoldsborough, but seen some wet weather
and wet streets all the way backinto the triad. More showers continue to
push in right along eighty five andthen taking basically the route of ninety five
going north, you run into thisarea of rainfall. So you get the

(59:27):
picture. Occasional scattered shows will stayin the forecast, not today, not
just today, but not just tomorrow. This looks like casey, it's going
to be for the rest of theweek. There will be hours mixed in
where they'll be maybe a little bitof sunshine. We're gonna start warming up
again too, so low to mideighties today and then back to the mid
to upper eighties tomorrow and then Wednesday, and then cooling off again later in

(59:47):
the week. But I don't thinkwe're gonna get out of this pattern.
We may have at times hours ofdry weather, but i'd say it if
you are going to be outdoors,be at least prepared for, especially if
you're out for multiple hours, atleast a chance getting hit with some of
this wet weather a little more widespreadthis morning, may actually taper off a
little bit this afternoon, and thenas we go through tomorrow again in the

(01:00:08):
afternoon we'll see the storms come inand then start talking about the heat index
again tomorrow, especially in the Triangle, getting up near one hundred degrees.
So yeah, there's not much hopehere where we get at a completely dry
day for the rest of the week. Some indication toward the weekend maybe a
little less rain, but each dayyou'll see the mention and the percentage is
pretty high right on through the restof the week. All right, So

(01:00:30):
there we go, all this stuffyou didn't want to hear. Thank you,
appreciate it. You're welcome. Allright. That's Race Stagic. We'll
talk to him in an hour andyou in just a few minutes. Hang
on, somebody say some and itjust sticks with you because it's either insane
or interesting or and I can't getout of my head how much I want
there to be a Truman show Bidenthing right with a whole fake White House

(01:00:53):
every and then everywhere, and youcan like all the Hollywood friends cameos galore,
rightly, Bust and Paul sit there. Do you have the fake Oval
office? Maybe that's why they builtit. Yeah, you're gonna have to
go big, and all the othersets are fine, all right, miss
President. This weekend you're at yourDelaware beach house, and then you just
camera that thing up. It's alreadyready to go. Hell, it's already

(01:01:13):
cameraed up from the from the lastelection cycle. And then like on the
very special episode, de Niro showsup right right, they're all actors.
They can get in on this,and he's like, mister President, have
you seen the new Dictator of Machetestand? And then he hits Sasha Baron
Cohen's dictator character, right, andhe's just like, you know, he's

(01:01:34):
jabbering on about something, and they'relike, we must do something. He
can order strikes, right, exceptthe plot line if you want to keep
it going. It's got to kindof be like the Mario Brothers plot line,
like we we blew up his castle, but apparently he's in another castle
and then you, you know youTanner ride up another building. Oh,
you almost got him that time.Sir Biden would definitely be fooled by Sasha

(01:01:55):
Baron Cohen. Yeah, and hecan he can keep character. Remember the
one the only person whoever was notlike on the Alig Show, who like
walked off the set, who calledout the BS instantly? It was Donald
Trump was Trump. He sat downwith with Donald Trump as Alig and he
was pitching him. I believe itwas a glove to eat ice cream with.

(01:02:17):
And he said ice cream with meltand not get on your hand,
but getting the glove. And DonaldTrump was probably on set for maybe less
than a minute, and he lookedat it. He was like, no,
this isn't for me. Thanks,have a great day, and he
just walked right off, gave himnothing, sniffed out the BS instantly.
My favorite cut, Oh, Idon't know if I have a favorite one.
The one that always sticks with meis his what was it Bruno where

(01:02:40):
he bought the orphan and named himOJ. Right, am I misremembering what
character was that? It? Whateverit was, it's why no, I
think that's the Bruno. Yeah.Yeah, And he's like a press conference
or no, it was like youknow what it was. It was it
was like he was on one likethe Sally Jesse Raphael show or something,

(01:03:00):
and people are just losing their minds, and he's like, I gave him
a strong African name, OJ orsomething, and it was I don't I
don't know that you could you couldmake that. Now it is so much
worse than I just even said.So it's and I'm dying through that thing.

(01:03:21):
So yeah, he'll stick character.He'll be the whack a mole dictator
that Joe Biden can spend the nexthowever long trying to you know, trying
to rid the world of special effectsguys, Hollywood cameos. And he can
solve Christ like you can. Hecan solve so many crises. He's like,
no more World Hunger, sir,Yeah, no, that thing you

(01:03:43):
signed? Yeah no, that didit. It's amazing, right, and
then just show like and then yougot the video of the village somewhere where
everyone's just bones. And then likea month later, here's some new video
and they're just running around and they'reBills super Bowl shirts but they're fat and
happy, so runner Lotter. Waitwait, so we got to the super

(01:04:04):
Bowl again? Super exciting. Nono, no, it's still from the
boo from the Levy Yeah yeah,yeah, Era. They got so many
of those shirts, man, justsitting around ready to go, and there's
so many different years to choose from. Yeah, no, no you don't
because you don't want to show upat the party wearing the same shirt.
You know how women are with dresses, right, yeah, same with super

(01:04:28):
Bowl champion shirts? Collect themle howyou do that? Uh? Now,
as far as I don't know,take this for what it's worth. The
blind signing of staff, So thenarrative is they didn't tell anyone basically him
and what his number two got togetherwrote the letter, he totally signed it,

(01:04:49):
and one Democrat close to the mattertold Politico, quote, we're all
finding out by tweet. None ofus understand what's happening. That would explain
the craziness where you had people withinthe White House off the record telling reporters,
yeah, he's gonna on Sunday,we're oute you better hook me in
the title, because I'm not readingall of them, but every now and

(01:05:13):
then I'm I am captivated, allright. So some some publicists somewhere send
me this the and I guess whoare they trying to pitch as a guest.
I guess somebody from the auction company. I don't know, And clearly
it's it's to build interest so thatthey can when they have this auction,

(01:05:38):
more money is spent. Like Iget it, I understand, all right.
And so it's the largest, theworld's largest private collection of autographs.
I don't even know whose this wasis going up for auction. And then
they will also they'll list a couplethings, you know, like, hey,
here's a here's a couple examples whichI've here're supposed to be the ones

(01:06:00):
that they expect to fetch the most. And let's see here it's a German
collector. Doesn't say who it is, Oh, no it does. Franz
peter Bach. I have no ideawho that is, who, along with
his father, amassed the largest collectionsince nineteen eighty of autographs, many many

(01:06:21):
are very hard to find. Examplesinclude a first pressing of The Doors first
album, autographed by Jim Morrison,all right, if you're a music collector,
that's pretty cool. A Neil Armstrongflight suit flag, that's a one
of a kind. Probably I guessstuff from Marley. But the thing that
they put first is an autographed ChairmanMao poster. Who's buying that other than

(01:06:50):
probably all of the reporters of theNew York Times many colle You know what,
I answered my own question. Doesit have him motivational message too?
I can't see it. It's justit just has words here, and I'm
not clicking the link. But youknow, some people in they autograph like
ah so and so keep on keepingon whatever. There's some sports players that

(01:07:15):
like it's a thing that they do, and then sometimes they tweak it and
they become very collectible. I thinkthere was just some Tom Brady stuff out
there. There was in a baseballset where he wrote a message in one
and like everyone's beating each other uptrying to figure it. You know,
it was like the Wonka ticket,and what would Chairman Mao write? Good

(01:07:38):
luck with the struggle session. Sorryyour family starved, but hey, that's
what you get for living in theYellow River Valley. I bet it's wild
ross. You want a Chairman MoUposter for your for your studio. You
like collectibles, Yeah, no,I'll passing that. I could see some
sort of like like Obamba or somebodybuying that. You always see these things

(01:08:00):
where the people will spot this weirdlike communist stuff in the background. We
saw during COVID, remember when theywere doing all these home interviews and like,
here's a per like why do youhave a Mao picture in your office?
Remember the chick who had like anadult toy on her right thing.
We found out a lot, probablymore than we wanted to know. So
I'm I'm curious if it has abecause look, there's some like or maybe

(01:08:23):
he referenced one of his things.One of the things that one of the
craziest Chairman Mao stories was right afterthey took over and basically all of the
opposition fled to Taiwan, which iswhy you have that separation there right If
they took over one they sent peopleto basically stir the pot in all of

(01:08:43):
these villages to get angry at landowners, and it was very successful. And
Mao's philosophy was you can even getthem mad at you because you are not
me, And so people would goin and it would be the thing where
I hate the guy. It's likeif you go the car dealership, and
even though the sales manager is tellingthe car dealer what to say, he'll

(01:09:06):
play it off like, look,they're beating me up in there, and
people fall for that. I'm like, they're not. You guys work together,
shut up right, nobody's beat Butit was very successful where they go
in and then whoever was the middlemanager mal would just be like, look
if they get mad at you,that's fine. You be the opposition.
Just make sure they're also mad ateach other, because some people like you

(01:09:29):
and some don't. Whatever did it. But the craziest thing was right after
they took over, they had theywould they'd be like, all right,
this is gonna be. It's ourthing now, and hey, if you
got if you have suggestions, we'dlove to hear them. Just show up
at the palace and come on inand tell us. You know, it
was like an American Idol audition,right they They people would show up because

(01:09:54):
they were excited because they were told, hey, it's it's your government now.
And then they'd get him in thereand and they'd be like all right,
you know, Joe or probably notJoe, but Ping or whatever,
what's your idea? And then theyyou know, hey, this is a
thing we should do. And he'sa professor at one of the universities or
whatever. And by the way,he now greased a bunch of those folks,

(01:10:17):
and they're like, ah, it'sa great idea. In fact,
such a great idea. You needto go into the award room right right
over there, go into the awardsroom. There's super cool stuff in there.
Man, Yeah, you gotta youget a prize for this. And
you're such a gonna and and andand then they'd murder him and be like
the next day they'd be like thechairman was just sitting around reading his little

(01:10:39):
red book and he was struck withthis idea. And that was the number
is stupid of people that thought theywere getting a They were like the felons
or the warrant people. Yeah,you get a free TV. Just show
up here. And it's not totallynot not all police officers, and the

(01:11:01):
numbers that they arrested those things likeweren't you sitting around Shanghai University or whatever.
It was like, all right,well, the first contingent of professors
with great idea as much as thethey're not back yet, they must they
must be having a feast. Shouldwe send the other contingent? We still
haven't heard from them. Yeah,let's send the other contingent. All right,

(01:11:24):
how far down the thing do youget? You know what? I
don't have any ideas, right,and then all the smart people are gone.
So then when he has an idealike, hey, these sparrows keep
eating all the grain. Yeah,so problem we're gonna do. And this
is what mauded. This is atrue mess story. So yeah, the
spin going. Yeah, the sparrowswere eating all the grain, and I
was like, we need to getrid of those sparrows. So they exterminated.

(01:11:45):
They got rid of all the sparrows. They put a bounty on them.
Yeah, it was like it's somethinglike like he he tried to get
rid of the four pests. Itwas like mosquitoes, flies, rats,
and sparrows. So to get ridof the sparrows. Well, the problem
was, yeah, the sparrows hitthe grain, but they also would like
eat the low so no big fansare gone. Yeah, and then the
locusts came in and ate all thecrops and millions of people died. Yeah,

(01:12:06):
well that's the other guys. That'sbecause the other guys did something.
So you gotta you gotta pivot likea right, right, And it's still
we still see it in modern daywhere they're like, all right, now,
full time employees are not under fortyhours, they're under thirty hours Obamacare
boom. Right, this is wherethey're like, why is a wiral park
timers just lose ten hours of work? Right? This is the thing that

(01:12:29):
government does, and big government doeswhere it identifies a quote a problem,
right, it solves the problem,but then it makes the problem worse,
and then it's a domino effect wherethey keep having to make more more solutions
to fix the problems that they cause. It's and and we've seen it,
especially when it comes to like invasivespecies, like you know earthworms that you
just get a cup of and yougo catch fish. Those are not those

(01:12:51):
are not native and they were broughtin for a reason. Ladybugs too,
something to do with I can't rememberexactly what it is with ladybugs, and
like, oh my gosh, wehavet too many. We didn't think of
it, like we made those decisions. But he's like, nah, kill
all the sparrows, and then theydid, and as Ross pointed out,

(01:13:11):
and that and that is why thenyou have to pivot and just be like,
I can't believe you know, thiswas Joe's idea from Shanghai University.
Now they're all mad at Joe.You're just trying to solve the problem.
It is wild man. So ifyou want a chairman mouth post, there's
a long way of saying that.If you want that on your wall,
so you can impress your comedy friends. There you go. Good stuff,

(01:13:35):
good stuff, all right, Ipromise more audio. Let's do that.
So we found out in a tweet. That's the quote in Politico from I
guess one of the staffers are atthe White House, which maybe I don't
know it. Here's the coach hereof the campaign. He's grounded in his

(01:13:58):
faith, in his family and inour state. Excuse me, it sound
like a dude you just got toldthis before he went on the air.
This was a very difficult decision.I mean, it doesn't sound like a
guy who's been in on it fora week, doesn't it. That sounds
like a guy who's like, hey, we got you. You're doing an
interview with MSNBC in ten minutes.Oh really, what about are you sitting

(01:14:24):
down? And here's the camera fireaway. So yeah, I guess I
could kind of believe that. Forothers, it was clear that more planning
was involved, and sometimes it's whatthey didn't say. Tonight, the message
from President Biden and those around himwas quote, all systems go and campaign
full speed ahead. Then at aroundone forty five pm, he notified senior

(01:14:47):
team members that he had changed hismind. Let's get to what might have
changed his mind, Brett. Butalso this statement from Barack and Michelle Obama,
which does not endorse Kamala Harris,Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton have come
out to endorse her. President Bidenendorsed her. But here's what the Obamas

(01:15:08):
saying. We will be navigating unchartedwaters in the days ahead, but I
have extraordinary confidence that the leaders ofour party will be able to create a
process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. Okay, So, and yeah,
the fact that that Barack Obama andMichelle Obama didn't endorse is kind of a

(01:15:32):
big deal because there's a lot oftheories about what's going to happen in Chicago,
Like there's a theory that she is. It's already hers, but it
has to look like she won it. But it's going to be very problematic
if she doesn't, because you havelike that idiot from the New York Times,
je Ali, right, who's like, this will be a test to

(01:15:53):
see if we're over our racism andbigotry. That's what he's tweeting. Well,
maybe, but first it's going tobe a test within the party.
Now, if you're a Democrat inNorth Carolina, just so you know,
the official party has come out fullthroated, which every time somebody uses that
term in a in a Harris story, the five year old in me chuckles.

(01:16:18):
But my point is, I knowI'm an infant. My point is
the test is first there, andif you're a Democrat listening to the show,
your party's come out and been like, no, we're all in,
are you. I know the partydoesn't necessarily dictate everything. I understand that,

(01:16:39):
but they were quite roy Cooper,excuse me, I'm sorry, Cooper.
The sound, Oh there's an Aand the P. We're hooked on
phonics today, all right, Actuallywe're hooked on fentanyl. That's the big
problems of your VP. Maybe youcould be the bizarre of that Cooper Okay,

(01:17:00):
Cooper, Okay, all right,but eh h Cooper Okay. That's
the other thing I saw the memelyAh North Carolinians realizing that we're finally done,
only for him to maybe be VPCooper him is uh Cooper that guy?
Okay? So the test is therefirst, So what if she doesn't

(01:17:24):
emerge? So if you're Ali andthe and the rest you then you're you're
basically the CNN panel going, Idon't think Josh Shapiro is the right person.
There's some heritage problems. Heritage wasthe term they used, heritage,
like like what do you own thefamily owned a bunch of slaves like Kamala

(01:17:45):
Harris's family too soon? Too soon? Okay, too soon, and and
and there's all the stuff that's likeuh, I said posted this is what
It's still one of my favorite Harrisvideo. Do you remember when she's in
Puerto Rico and there's a there's acrowd there and she's standing there with whoever's

(01:18:09):
the current thief rating the piggy bankbecause the last three have they're in Puerto
Rico and they're singing and she doesn'tadmitutally she doesn't speak Spanish, which is
fine only only because I have learnedSpanish, I now extra appreciate I'm not
I'm not very good at it,like under, but I understand it most

(01:18:32):
of it. Have a hard timeformulating the words, so now when I
hear it, I hadn't listened toit since since I was working on that.
And there's things you pick up on. And they're singing, but you
don't even need to know the words. You can look at the way that
they're staring daggers at her, andshe starts clapping along and dancing. They're

(01:18:56):
singing about how much they don't likeher. This is when she did the
swing through Guatemala and ended up inPuerto Rico. You remember this, And
they're protesting her, and even thoughit's not in a language she understands,
they have a post a picture ofher in a caricature that is not flattering,
and she's clapping along to her ownprotest song and somebody, an aide

(01:19:19):
who does speak Spanish, whispers somein her ear and she dead stops because
the the imagery is wild, andI don't even necessarily falter. She's kind
of like you go along to getalong, but it's just not a good
look, man. But it ishilarious to watch. So that litmus test

(01:19:45):
that some are throwing out where youhave people who as recently as a few
months ago were referring to Joe Bidenas genocide Joe like AOC was live streaming
the whole weekend. What a lotof these folks aren't though, I'm just
going to say it. This isprior to him resigning, but we all
knew he was not resigning. Thereis consensus among the people who want Joe

(01:20:13):
Biden to leave that Kamala that theywill support Kamala Vice President Harris, you
would be mistaken. And I'm gonnasay that because if they're going to come
out and say all their little thingson background, off off the record,
but they're not going to be fullyhonest, I'm going to be honest for
them. I'm in these rooms.I see what they say. I don't

(01:20:36):
say that often A lot of themare not just interested in removing the president.
They are interested in removing the wholeticket. Okay, all right,
So she's putting that out there,but it is in the rest of it

(01:20:56):
she's talking about in between making theokay hand symbol like thousand times, which
I was told was not okay.Whatever. She's she's correct on that,
but she's doing it as like sheshe really she's doing it on behalf of
Joe and and Kamala, and it'slike you just called him genocide Joe like

(01:21:20):
a week or you know, amonth ago. So that litmus test,
it is going to first play outin Chicago and it's going to be wild.
We'll be back, and I wasgonna tell it like it is in
all of this insanity. A thoughtpermeated my head yesterday and I'm I feel
like you will agree with me,even if you don't agree necessarily with what

(01:21:41):
I say about political stuff. Somaybe it's a Kumbaya moment. Can you
all stop jacking with our weekends?Yes? Agree? One thousand percent?
Okay? Like would be assassins anduh politicians doing things that we all knew
you were gonna do. Like that'sa that's the other thing, Like you
knew this was happening. Why areyou crapping on my weekends? You know

(01:22:03):
what? Historic I went back andlooked this up. Okay, I was
gonna do a whole thing, butI save it for the air because I'm
lazy whatever. Like remember when weused to be Remember when we used to
remember when a JFK that was aFriday, Okay, it was a Friday.
It was during the weekend. Youknow this because people can remember,
you know, they were at schoolor what they were Yes, yeah,

(01:22:24):
yes, The Challenger that was definitelyin school because I remember watching it and
to pull out TV. Yes,there you go, right, Like we
used to do stuff within the youknow they talk about it nowadays is job
creep, which is a thing rightwhere it's you know, you're so connected.
Like I long for the days thatif you want to get a hold
of me you had to call alandline and I could just not answer it

(01:22:48):
and you'd be like, maybe he'sat the neighbors bruh, I don't know,
and you'd leave a message and maybeI'd get back to you. Probably
wouldn't. But like, and thenwe got the smartphones and they're so amazing
with everything you can do. Butnow there is this like, hey,
you know what, maybe I shouldanswer some email on a Saturday that didn't
cross your mind back in the day, you didn't do it, Like like

(01:23:12):
I had to go back and lookwhen stuff was done like we had Remember
when we finally were like, hey, you know, enough of this Nazi
crap, we're taking Europe back.We did that on a Tuesday, right.
We didn't even do it on aMonday when they were half ass in
it. Right. We waited forthe Nazis to get back to work,
to get a whole day under theirbelt. And here we go. Now
the Japanese. Maybe this is subconsciouslyPearl Harvard. That was a Sunday,

(01:23:34):
see what I mean. And evenif if it was like just stirring in
the id, like it was anextra reason, we were like, oh
hell no. And then when wedecided to go do Hiroshima Nagasaki, that
was a Monday and a Thursday,cause we were like, we're gonna do
these things, and that's a flex, right, you should be at the

(01:23:58):
ready, guys. You know,German, here we come, and we're
doing it on a workday. We'renot not when they're in the beer holes
all, you know, drunk outof their minds on a Saturday. No,
we're just like, we can dothis and we are going to so
do it, and we're even gonnado it when you're when you're kind of
ready. That's you know, whenwe were a proper country, that's how
things were done. I gotta thrownine to eleven in there, but that

(01:24:20):
he intentionally went for a work dayfor obvious reasons. But you get the
point that I'm making. We livein a society. Yes we do that.
Thank you. Tom started at yeah, okay, what are you saying.
I'm just saying, man, yeah, leave my weekends alone. And
I get that we do kind ofa different thing. But weekends were for

(01:24:41):
going and go to the beach,or maybe you do dumb stuff that you
regret during the week. This iswhen you is when you get knocked out.
This is when your kids are conceivedright, because it's a weekend.
You're not doing stuff, having fun, not thinking about your biggest concern is
is that a shark by where Timmy'sswimming? Oh it's not okay, all
right, whatever, I'm not goingout there. If you don't see tim

(01:25:02):
anymore, let me know. Isaid some very similar in social media where
it's like, you know, Iwish history just just stop historing for a
little bit because I'm tired, andI saw people are like, well,
this is where politicians bury stories No, it used to be they buried on
a Friday at four where they're like, we need a comment, call the
whatever comment or oh he left forthe beach early, Well it's Friday,

(01:25:25):
what are you gonna do? Andthen on Monday we'd pick up. Like
the earliest was the Sunday shows,and you still had a choice like do
you want your weekend to be over? And you want to mentally get into
this. I straight up I didnot. I'll say this, I did
not know that Biden had sent thatletter and tell that text we got.

(01:25:45):
Do you know why? Because therewas a time on Sunday where I turn
on this stuff and I see thenotifications. I skipped right bym don't even
read them. I have some VIPemail that like you were on it,
Trevor's on it a few if thatpop with the iPhone. I will read
those right now. Don't get confused, because I ain't. Some people send
me a text or tweet. Youbetter get used to working on the weekends.

(01:26:08):
We work on the weekends. Halfof our Sunday we work, Yeah,
Sunday's prep, Daggs putting together Mondayshow, which is why on Friday
and salespeople can get ahold of us, like why is this thing a thing?
And I'm like, ah, thisis our weekend. So but you
know, stop it. Just justwait. If you're gonna do something horrible

(01:26:30):
or awesome or whatever it is.There are a few exceptions, right,
you can go out and you canwin a super Bowl on a Sunday.
We agree to that because there's beeror food or whatever. Like, there's
even a trade off there. Youwant somebody to be, you know,
excited about it. Sometimes you gottabribe them. But we'll go along to
get along. But I don't wantto deal with this on a Sunday or

(01:26:55):
late day Saturday. I'm trying tonot do this stuff. I think everyone
to calm down. It's calm down. Yes, this is a Wendy sir
or whatever. You know, whateverthe meme is, it ain't right.
It ain't right at all. Allright, one of there is one other
cut I had no I did playthose right, Look at the then go

(01:27:16):
back to this cut. We openedthe show with this guy freaking out in
the car. Look, I thinkhe's a lunatic whatever, but like he
don't. That's not how he wantedto spend his weekend weeping in a car
hitting himself in the face. Hewanted to spend it. I don't know
out. I don't know, probablygluing himself to something, so, you
you know, over whatever. Lethim let him do that, Let him

(01:27:41):
let him go glue himself to stufffor the for another guy. He doesn't
want to be sitting in a carmaking this TikTok? Can we agree on
this. I want that guy toenjoy his weekend. Gluing himself to stuff,
chanting, stop going on. I'mglued to some and I have to

(01:28:08):
go pee. What do I donow? Coming to terms with those decisions,
gen Z, we need to padtogether. Maybe filling out ballots.
Oh my gosh, how many ballotsdo you think they filled out? Now
they're use Z's first president sat tryingabout I feel like, I mean,

(01:28:29):
you can't. That's the comb byy'all. Like, I don't want that
dude to spend his Saturday or Sundaydoing that. You can't blame him though,
for being shocked and destroy I mean, this came out of nowhere.
Nobody Nobody said God, it's likeyou're sitting there. You're sitting there in
the front row of the baseball stadiumright where all the line drive fouls go.
And you're like, how did Iget hit? What is this?

(01:28:53):
U? D Day was? Ohyeah, oh you are that guy?
Well at least you labeling your emailSERTs D Day was delayed twenty four hours
due to the weather. Do wetell people because again, it's a flex,
it's a flex catch up with theirpants down right, you know?
And it's shameful. You remember whenRambo went in and saved those you know,

(01:29:14):
the POWs and basically murdered everybody atnight when they're having a party.
H do that during the day,bro, I'll question even the greats.
That's how we used to do things. Not now, no, no,
no, Now we crap all overone's weekends. And if we can't do

(01:29:34):
it with the news cycle, wedo it with the weather. Look at
that transition, seemless. I'm justpointing out, like I just could you
can't. It would be assassins andpoliticians making big a nights. Stop it
on the weekends. Do this giveus our weekends? Make America's weekends great
again? Is the hashtag I usedthis weekend because I had to say something

(01:29:56):
over the weekend when I don't wantto say stuff over the weekend. Weekends
are for dumbs, stuff, baddecisions, fun stuff, family stuff,
whatever, right, and good weatherwhich we haven't had right, Yeah,
should be anyway saying some of usare pulling our weight. Yeah, well
we're trying. Definitely did not thispast weekend. You know, we've seen
rain just about every day over thelast three to five days. I'm probably

(01:30:18):
making a pretty good debt in thatdrought monitor. We'll do the comparison on
Thursday when the next one comes out, taking the trip east heading maybe the
beaches. Right now, most ofthe showers thunderstorms out into places like the
outer banks near Killdevil Hills and backtoward Cape Lookout and Long Beach down to
our southeast, and some scattered showersin and around town. Also back toward

(01:30:41):
the west and southwest of US.So scattered showers around this morning, a
few thunderstorms this afternoon, a littlemid eighties tonight, scattered showers, thunderstorms,
most of that coming in early,and I think Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday decent chances of rain. They'body breaks in the action as we've
had over the next few days,and there may be day or a couple
of days where you don't get anyrainfall. So don't be surprised if there's

(01:31:01):
a day mixed in here, especiallythis afternoon I think where we might not
see a lot of coverage on therainfall. But if somebody said the percentage
chances of rain each day, it'sprobably seventy percent or greater. The best
chance will be in the afternoon hours. In casey, I'm not a huge
fan of using percentages. I justI just don't think it paints the picture
because somebody will say, like,well, it says eighty percent chance of

(01:31:24):
rain, and they'll think that,but it doesn't mean that that's your guys.
Oh that's your guys' fault exactly,doesn't actually mean that, Yeah,
exactly it is. So it isbecause everybody thinks, like, well,
eighty percent chance of rain, they'rerain in I It's like it's more like
you take an area, right,you take an area and how much click
Exactly that's exactly what but that's whatwe do. So, by the way,

(01:31:45):
you mentioned kill Devil Hills day ofthe week, first man flight Thursday,
right, and arguably that could bedoing dumb stuff over the weekend,
guys building stuff and hurting themselves thatlike it could go either way, but
no, the Right brothers had thecommon decency to take to the air for
the first on a Thursday, ofall days, because you know, don't

(01:32:06):
ruin our weekends. And weekends arefor kill devil hills, ironically enough,
but it was not for first flights, right, first flights are yeah,
yeah, Now, when they werestanding I don't know what day of the
week, when they were standing inOhio looking back, going almost but Ohio
is over that. But whatever,Thursday, we're gonna so if we're gonna

(01:32:30):
do something big, we do duringthe week, right, tell me,
all right, I'm gonna keep I'mgonna write that down. We had looked
Challenger JFK. The common decency tomotorcate on a Friday, and Challenger was
during the week because all the kidsin the school were horrified. Yeah,
I was, uh, it usedto be a proper country. During the
week we did we bombed. Webombed the Japanese on a Monday and a

(01:32:51):
Thursday. We want to ruin theirweekend, right, all right, all
right, komba, all right,thank you sir, appreciate it. We
are considerate, yes, yeah,yeah, yeah, I mean, this
is withever your political persuasion. Canwe all just agree on this and then
you can go out and do whateverit is you want to do. If
so, crying guy in the car, he can spend his weekend simping for

(01:33:14):
she beast women with blue hair thatdon't want anything to do with him.
He's in the friend zone. Butif he wants to spend his weekend doing
that, Okay, it's your day. Have a day, sir, We'll
be back. Hang on well morning. Casey Wall Street ended last week with
a losing session on Friday, butthe futures are all pointing higher this morning,
so we could have a positive startnow. Futures or up seventy economists

(01:33:38):
think a key inflation reading that comesout on Friday morning will help to give
the Federal Reserve more confidence about interestrate cuts. More than fourteen hundred flights
within into or out of the USwe're canceled yesterday. Airlines struggled all weekend
to get their computer systems running properlyafter Friday's failures. A flawed software update

(01:33:59):
pushed out by Custrike caused Windows basedsystems to crash all around the world.
Several industries were affected. The airlineswere among the hardest hit, and there
are still some flight delays today.Verizon Communications posted an adjusted quarterly profit that
was in line with forecasts, andit confirmed its outlook for the year.
The company says its wireless broadband internetservice has proven to be a big hit

(01:34:23):
for the company. McDonald's five dollarsmeal deal has proven to be popular with
customers of the fast food giant.More than ninety percent of McDonald's restaurants have
committed to extending the bundle beyond theinitial four week window, according to a
memo seen by Bloomberg News and CaseyTwisters was the weekend's number one movie.

(01:34:47):
comScore, it was the third biggestopening weekend for a film so far this
year, and it's reported to bethe biggest opening weekend ever for a disaster
film. Casey, I am sounplugged. I'm assuming that is off the
Twister. It's like the sequel Twisters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, apparently
it's it's a one off sequel tothe movie. What was it twenty years

(01:35:12):
just having the wrong business because youjust know some a hole sitting in a
pitch meeting. He probably just madea million dollars. Like what if there
were two of them? Right?And they're just like, you know what,
Brad, that is brilliant. Here'sa million dollars in the wrong business.
All right, thank you, allright, have a good day.
Jeff Fellonser, Bloomberg News. It'sgood. I was going to drag me
into the weekend thing, but thenI got right, how easy must that

a little tougher with that because you'reon one topic. But you get like,
