Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Look, it's just a very sad day around the around
the show this morning. I'm not gonna lie. I was
all excited for the big Sadie Hawkins dance the Shop right,
look forward to that, very exciting. Wanted to go with
my bow or bay or whatever we call it nowadays.

(00:21):
And unfortunately Ross we got broken up with yesterday and
they sent an email that they couldn't even do it
face to face. So so I I got not one,
but normally I would just ignore this because I'm like, yeah, you'll,
you'll come around, But uh, not one, but two people

(00:43):
are very upset because we have any criticism over the
signal thing and have expressed said criticism. So I let
me know what else is out there. Let me know

(01:04):
how that works for you guys, because that seems like
a little bit of an overreaction for pointing out that maybe,
just maybe we should expect higher standards. I don't believe
Ross or I and I maybe Ross tweeted something. I

(01:25):
didn't see it. I don't believe ross Or I was like, oh,
they all have to resign and then they should all
go to guantanamo. I don't believe that was a discussion
that we had yesterday. I think the discussion we had
yesterday is this is dumb. Why do you keep feeding
the fire on this and right after the show, literally

(01:48):
right after the show, because these leftist journalists do everything
to screw me over. Right after the show, we had
Goldberg release quote unquote the rest of the transcript. I
think there's one little party didn't but and I immediately

(02:09):
commented on it and pointed out, yeah, this isn't war plans,
but it's also not nothing, and it's just a really
bad look. And as I instructed on the show yesterday,
maybe the best thing to do, because of course the
Democrats and the media one and the same are going

(02:30):
to feast upon it, is to stop tweeting out seven
eight paragraph rebuttals and just go do what you were doing, right,
Go do what you're doing. I don't excuse me, I
don't know if I have confidence in Mike Waltz. Just

(02:53):
just dear to the due to the sheer stupidity and
boneheadedness of this. But a combination of Mike will Altu,
the uh you know, obviously the VP Pete Hegge Seth
is twenty times better than their predecessors. So like you

(03:13):
can you can be upset like if your kid, if
your kid did something right, if your kid did something
you respond. It doesn't mean you're like, I don't love
my kid anymore. I don't know, or maybe it does.
I don't know. But for most people, they're like, no,
I don't love my kid, And no, you're like, oh,
my kid did something really stupid. Let's go ahead and

(03:34):
figure out how they're not going to do it again,
and maybe we'll get a teachable moment out of this,
and then you move on, right, you know, later that
day when your kids, Oh, I wonder if dad's still
mad at me. Hey, you give them a hug. You're like, hey, buddy,
it's okay. That's it. It's very simple, right, because because
the the opponents of this administration clearly overplayed what it

(04:00):
is they had right, there's I read this thing and
I saw and I pointed out yesterday, I'm like, this
is it's very non specific. Now it's not so nonspecific.
You didn't know you were dealing with the Hoothy's. I
saw people saying that. I'm like, the literally the group
chat is called like hoothy. You know, it's got HOOTI
in the name. So like, you know what's up. But

(04:22):
it's not like they only have one target, right, They're
spread all over South Yemen there, but primarily concentrated for
the purpose of jacking with ships. So what they're talking
about is is not coordinates, it's not it's it's literally
things like all right, the planes took off. I mean

(04:45):
I could read it to you, but I'm sure you've
read it. All right, planes are out, this is out,
and then it's it's updates too. It's like, yeah, we
blew that thing to smithereens target's there, doesn't say who
the target is, but now you know, now in retrospect,
we know who the target was. They blew up that
apartment building, which, by the way, I saw associated press
trying to pretend was like a daycare as well. It was.

(05:07):
It was an apartment building, but it was one that
was literally controlled by the Hootis and it housed it
literally housed their fighters and also uh in in some
cases in the case that we used it there, uh
there you know their action there. There a little side

(05:29):
piece there. His dude's married, but he went to his girlfriend's.
Well not anymore because now he's missed. But yeah, so
like you already know that they're going to do this,
So why on God's green Earth when there is a
possibility of some justifiable criticism, are you just like, I

(05:50):
don't want to talk to anybody who may have problems.
But how do you think that's going to work for you?
How do you think that attitude is one that comports
with expecting, demanding, appreciating when it's happening Again, this, this
group is one hundred times better than the last group,

(06:13):
but having a certain set of standards that you don't
just go, well, you know, since I voted for him,
they don't have to live up to it. No, that's
not how it works. And all they had to do
was go, well, that was dumb, Mike, you're an idiot,
blah blah blah, And then you explain how it happened
and why it won't happen again. You'd have been done

(06:34):
with it. I mean, the media wouldn't have been done
with this, but I'd have been done with it in
the day. I'd been like, all right, because that's all
you really want, that's all you really you just you
want them to recognize. Hey, sometimes you just you just
got to bite the bullet. Sometimes you're wrong. Sometimes you

(06:55):
mess up. I don't like, I'm not attaching any sort
of animis to it. I think somebody's just dumb. And
then people are running around and they're like, well, you
know what it was is it was a super secret
hack from a you know, a Biden holdover. All right,
well then show me that because it probably wasn't because
you got to you just Oukham's razor this stuff. What

(07:18):
is the most likely scenario as to how this journalists
got on? There is the most likely scenario, some super
secret holdover that was sabotaging government phones, which I saw
people running around with yesterday, or once you do the
Ockham's razor, is it somebody's got that that person in

(07:39):
their contacts for whatever reason, and they are idiots when
it comes to you know, maybe they're not tech savvy whatever.
But if that's the case, holy hell, you better let
your staff handle these things. What do you think is
the most likely? So anyway, always appreciate your email. Don't

(08:02):
always understand it. But could I be so bold as
to suggest you're probably listening right now, just saying AnyWho?
All right, coming up on the show. Good morning, It
is six fifteen. There's another issue too that I don't understand.

(08:23):
And I saw this going viral yesterday. So the kid
of one of the producers, one of the big producers
for the Snow White movie, he was on Instagram and
somebody was criticizing his dad. Who's you know, who is
the producer? I say, kid, he's a grown adult obviously,

(08:44):
but was criticizing his dad for being weird, for flying
from LA to New York to have a face to
face with Rachel Zegler after you know, everything blew up,
which I didn't know happened. Apparently it happened whatever. And
then and then like Rachel Zegler apologists you know again,
people who can't stop for a moment and just go, hey,

(09:07):
you know what, maybe this isn't a good idea. They
were all mad at this guy. And then his son
wrote some thing like hey, she's a narcissist, she's entitled,
and everyone's like, yeah, you rock man. And then and
then they're like, seemingly on the producer's side. Do you
think Rachel Zegler was the only problem with that movie?

(09:32):
Do you get what I'm driving at? So, like, I
don't know, I got a couple of things that annoy
me this morning, and my voice sounds a little rough too.
I don't know. I'll deal with that. But yeah, just
just a couple of little things, and we got some
fun stuff. We've got some audio that'll probably make you up,
you know, punch your dash, but that's what we do here.
So uh, let's go ahead and take a break. We'll

(09:53):
come back. It is the CaCO Day Radio Progress. I
guess some of you don't know the because you don't
live on Twitter or I have way too much free time.
And I can actually respect that. So so yesterday, going
back to this yesterday, Mark Klatt is the guy's name.
He is so one of the big producers for Snow White.

(10:15):
He's not just a money guy. He's like muckety mucky
exec Okay, so he is guiding the content. He is,
he's not He's not just somebody who threw his money
in because like when you see when you see those producers,
executive producers all of that, like half of them are

(10:36):
there for the credit and they really have no input
on what ends up in the movie. They're just a
money guy. Okay. That's how you get a producer tag.
And a lot of times you'll see actors that are there,
and those are generally how deals are structured if they
have enough pull or if it's a project they themselves
want to put money in, and it's it's just a way.

(10:57):
It's just how the points get distributed. And the points
are the revenue. Okay, So if you're a big actor,
if you're like Tom Cruise and you go do a movie,
chances are you got a piece of that, even if
you didn't pony up money just for being Tom Cruise.
And I know, beef with that that being said, when

(11:17):
you are one of the working producers, one of the
day to day producers, one of the people who is
not just there for the money because at the end
of the day, you're all there for the money, but
also is you know, essentially has a boss, right So
Mark Platt boss is Disney, and he's one of these

(11:39):
people we were talking about maybe Head's roll And I
saw this yesterday. I saw his kid who is again
not a kid, but he was on Instagram and somebody
and the dude is a grown man, right he is.
He was on a podcast where they have a picture

(11:59):
for the for the purpose of this article. Dude looks
like he's in his late twenties, whatever, full beard whatever. Right,
So just just to be clear, this isn't some seventeen
year old who saw his dad getting roasted and it
happened because there was a story that came out yesterday,
I guess two days ago that Mark Platt as like

(12:21):
boss Man producer after Zegler wouldn't shut her face hole,
literally flew from Los Angeles to the it says East Coast.
I assume it's New York, but flew to New York
that it is New York and had a face to
face with her going what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (12:40):
You realize this doesn't look good? What are you doing?
And like people got mad over that. Oh that's so creepy,
Like here's your dad flew to New York City to
reprimand a young actress. Any word on this because that's creepy.
Af uncalled for people have the right to free spe eat.
Shame on your father. All right, Well, that person's obviously

(13:04):
a lunatic, right, they're in business together, and they hired
her to do a thing. And I'm pretty sure they
didn't hire her to sabotage her, you know, her movie,
yet arguably she did and then so he writes this
thing back, he goes, you really want to do this? Yeah,

(13:24):
my dad, the producer of this big piece of Disney
IP with hundreds of millions on the line, had to
leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand
his twenty year old employee for dragging her personal politics
in the middle of promoting the movie that she signed
a deal for and then goes on for there and
I saw people. I saw people sharing this, like a
bunch of conservative sites sharing this. They're like, yeah, yeah,

(13:47):
they get it. No they don't. Do you think Rachel
Zegler is the only problem with that movie? What ross?
I know we talked about Rachel Zegler, but I'm pretty
sure that we talked about literally everything else with the
movie on Monday.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
You know, she was a big part of it, but
she didn't right and come up with the concept of it.
And she wasn't the one that wrote the new song
and decided to get rid of the Prince, and on
and on and on, Like everybody involved with his movies
is responsible for the dumpster fire that became this movie.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, and so like people celebrating this, like Mark Platt's
a moonbat dude, if if this is his work, if
he thinks the only thing was that, and and this
is what they're going this is this is the desperation, right,
you gotta you gotta slough this off. So look, if
your dad wants to be a moonbat, fine, but don't
act like the only thing wrong with that was this.

(14:41):
And and for people that are like, yeah, you get him.
Finally somebody in Hollywood gets it. He doesn't get it.
He hates you. A NERD correspondent Stephen Kental joined us,
and we'll see if he thinks it's all Rachel Zegler's fault.
I'm gonna think he doesn't. But you know, that's why
we have these conversations, okay, with the with the whole
producer son and all of that. And we're gonna check

(15:03):
in on those those super duper protests up in DC
since that's where he lives, so he can give us
a spy report on that. So we got a few
things to get into. That'll be at eight o eight
oh six. Okay, all right, very good, But before we
get to that, get some popcorn grab that. And uh,

(15:26):
if you missed the hearing yesterday with the CEO of
NPR who is an absolute died in the wool moon
bet And that's not that's not a new thing. Everyone
knew she's the one. Do you remember, uh, you know what,
I just realized I've probably probably should start here. She's
the one you ever see that clip? And you know

(15:48):
she's blonde woman, she's a nice looking woman, right, And
so she's given like Ted Talker whatever, and she's like,
you know the problem is that we use there's too
many facts in journalism, right, remember that insane that just
ends up in all the montages. That's the chick we're
talking about. She's like, why do they have all these facts?
You just sometimes you just got to go with your feels,

(16:09):
which is, you know, not at all how people assume
news is supposed to work, but is the reality of
what we see so many days? But to say it
out loud was insane. So she also tweets like that, right,
So she's you know, she's one of these people. She's like,
I just read this book on reparations. They literally you'll

(16:33):
hear it in the audio. They're talking, they're asking about
a book on reparations. And then she gets on like
Twitter or Instagram or whatever it was and was just
like this is the way, right, and and that's the problem,
especially when you guys are suckling at the government teat
for a little bit. Now, some people confuse MPR and

(16:55):
PBS as to the levels of funding they get. And
it's just because of how it shows up on paper, right,
because they'll do they'll go, well, my local station, my
local public radio station, they fundraise for theirs, right, right,
But it's a larger apparatus called the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,

(17:19):
which you all know, right, how many of you heard
of this larger entity the quote unquote it's had two
different names. But because you watched PBS as a kid,
and in the credits they would have they would be
like and brought to you by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Right,
you remember that? Even if you don't remember that, now

(17:42):
you do because I just said it. You're like, oh yeah,
because they would have that literally at the end of
mister Rogers, at the end of Sesme Street, all of that.
And it was just it was just one of those
things that was burning to your brain. So don't let
them pay play fast and loose, right, because a lot
of times you're local public broadcasting station is not necessarily

(18:04):
owned by the National one. Okay. In fact, in Minnesota
it was a really weird setup because they had like
they had the largest independent public broadcast, but it's all
tied in, all tied in. So she's sitting there in
front of Congress, and of course Jim Jordan's going to
get a hold of her. But let's just revisit how

(18:25):
her day was going, and we'll start with Congressman Gill
from Florida. I think it's from Florida, because it was
not going well for her, and like her answers after
tweeting insane things which you'll hear them quote, were like,
I don't remember tweeting that. And I kind of believe
her because I think she's just that Looney Tunes. But

(18:45):
also she clearly holds these views, which in my mind
are a bit problematic. Here we go.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?

Speaker 5 (18:56):
These are I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,
I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the
last half decade.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

Speaker 5 (19:05):
I don't recall the exact context, Sir, so I wouldn't
be able to say.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder
and white democracy?

Speaker 1 (19:15):
And I want to I want to pause here before
she lies. Excuse me answers. Here's the deal. If you
went back to any moment in the history of this
radio show, and I can't speak for Ross, I can
speak for me, maybe Ross degrees. If you go back
and you you dug a quote out and then I
and even if I didn't remember the context, and then

(19:37):
you provided the context, You're like, hey, you know, back
in twenty twelve you said this. I'm I feel like
I would remember why I said that. I know that
sounds weird, but I have like I have kind of
a weird photographic memory. I can't remember your name if

(19:57):
I meet you for the rest of the day. It's
like it's like the worst thing. But I can remember
weird stuff, Like I can remember whole scenarios and situations
for what are pretty innocuous conversations.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, no, it happens all the time, like all, Yeah,
to bring up a random years ago Yeah, if we
were to bring up a random audio cut, we can
pretty like he wouldn't take long, like a matter of
seconds to remember what the take was on that or
with the purpose for it, like why did we have that?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Because we do it. We literally do it live on
the show yesterday. Yeah, yesterday when the guy with the
rattlesnake right, yes, right, we remembered the details. I just
had to call it up to confirm.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
You'll be talking about something we did a while ago,
and with no communication, I'll find that audio cup like,
oh that's yep.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
You guys have no idea how many times I'm literally
in the middle of the conversation, I'm staring at my
button bar and then all of a sudden it appears
the cut. It happened yesterday. What did you pull yesterday?
So Russ just randomly pulled something yesterday happen I played
it within a second of it being on there.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
It happened a bunch of times. Yesterday it was se
Eddie Murphy thing, yeah, they kill the white people. Yeah,
so I'm talking.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
He We didn't talk before the show that I was
going to do it, because I you know, my brain
sometimes wonders and boom there it is.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
It happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
So I don't believe that five years ago. You don't
know why you tweeted were addicted to white supremacy.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
And it's not like this is a tweet talking about
something that was like super niche at the time, like
you know, yeah, like I went to Wegmans or some
meme that was going around, and you're like, I don't
even know because I've done that. I've looked at my
timeline before in the past, and I'm like, what was
that about? And then it takes me a second. I'm like, oh,
it was that stupid meme, a weird reference that maybe
people won't understand. But this is different. This is a
book you read during like riots and stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
So and then you quoted yeah, and then you and
then you agreed with and he took it a step further.
I don't believe you, and I don't believe you because
I don't think she's dumb. I think she's wrong, but
I don't think she's dumb. You're not going to have
that position being an idiot, even know your actions. I mean,
people may think you're an idiot when you say things

(22:03):
like that, but like from just the actual you know,
brain function, I don't believe you. But whatever, all right,
so let's keep going down this road.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
Don't believe that, sir.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
You tweet it.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
It's reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently,
The Case for Reparations.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
I don't think i've ever read that book, sir.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
You tweeted about it.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
You said you took a day off to fully read
The Case for Reparations.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
You put that on Twitter in January.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
That's it. By the way, that's a hell of a tweet,
right She didn't just go, oh, this book's really good.
She wrote, I took the day off to read it.
Like that's a much more possessive statement right there.

Speaker 7 (22:49):
I apologies. I don't recall that I did.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Don'tkay, no doubt that your tweet there is correct, but
I don't recall not his tweet.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Do you believe that white people inherently feel super perior
to other races?

Speaker 1 (23:01):
I do not.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
You don't.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
You tweeted something to that effect. You said I grew
up feeling superior. How wide of me? Why did you
tweet that?

Speaker 5 (23:10):
I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
to be to grow up in an environment where I
had lots of advantages.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
I don't believe that anybody feels that way, Sir. I
was just reflecting on my own.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
Do you think the white people should pay reparations?

Speaker 7 (23:27):
I have never said that, sir.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, yes, America, yes,
our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
on this day.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparation. Sir.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
This is and I know some of your like you
think she's smart. I don't think she's an idiot. I
think she absolutely knows. She tweeted that.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
I love his delivery. I love the way he's doing. Yes,
you did, because he's just like saying it matter of factly,
and then he's it's just.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Great and it's not even nuanced. No, but I feel
like he's maybe she meant this, she said it, she
said it. Oh, all right, one more with Gil and
then we got to go to the goat. In these situations,
but let's continue this addressing how.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Much reparations have you personally paid?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Sir.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.

Speaker 6 (24:26):
Okay, just for everybody else.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I'm not asking anyone whoms to be.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
What you're suggesting. Do you believe that looting is morally wrong?

Speaker 5 (24:33):
I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to
it as counterproductive.

Speaker 7 (24:37):
I think it should be prosecuted.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
Do you believe it's morally wrong though?

Speaker 7 (24:40):
Of course?

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Of course, then why did you refer to it as
counter productive? Very different, very different way to describe it.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as
being tweeted.

Speaker 6 (24:51):
It's hard to be mad about protests.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
In reference to the BLM protests not prioritizing the private
property of a system of oppression. You didn't condemn the looting.
You said that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted
a book called Indefensive Looting. Do you think that that's
an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe
that was my tweet.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
I think you read that book.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
I mean, maybe she's like sort of like Lebron James
when it comes to reading books. You know, that's a
good thing that's going around. That's like a Lebron me
where you used to see him in the locker room,
and he would always be on like the first two
pages of a book, and it would be something you
know right right, like like the biography of whoever or
the history of whatever, and he's he's it's like the

(25:38):
you're trying to make the impression or the make it
look like you're super deep and you're intelligent, but you're not.
So maybe she doesn't actually read these books, but she
just tweets out like little stuff about it to make
it look like she's smart that you know.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
What I I That is absolutely a distinct possibility, But
like her pretending to have never heard of the book
is a wild way to go about it, Like just say, yeah,
I read the book, and I read a lot of books,
a lot of there's some people just read a lot
of books. Whatever, Okay, But she's like, I didn't. I

(26:15):
don't know what a book is. Never now look as
fun as Gil is one of my favorites. This is like,
this is like back in the day when you turn
on MSNBC after like the presidential debate just so you
can watch the lunacy unfold because it's so entertaining. As

(26:35):
soon as if Jim Jordan's in a hearing, I don't
know if there's anybody better in Congress to absolutely picking
picking you apart. He is really entertaining to listen to.
And and a guy who I have met in person
and never stops moving the dudes like and he's he's

(26:56):
he's actually a very short dude. Little he's a little guy.
I'm not picking this, says this little guy. And so
like the first time I saw him in person, it
was like because you you know, you just see him
on you just see him on TV, you know, just
cracking skulls and.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
He's like like a honey badger.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, man, he did. But he gave me that straight
because he was a wrestling coach obviously. Uh and uh,
he definitely has wrestling coach vibe. Mister Lynch was our
wrestling coach. He reminded me exactly of him. But anyway,
but man, get him a microphone and some receipts and
it's a fun listen. So shell we yes, we shall.
He is MPR biased Congressman.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
I have never seen any instance of never of pro
political bias determining editorial decisions.

Speaker 8 (27:43):
Now, well, miss mister Berliner.

Speaker 9 (27:48):
In his story a couple last year wrote, I've in
the DC area editorial positions at MPR, he said he
found eighty seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans.

Speaker 8 (28:01):
Is that accurate?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
We do not track the numbers or the voter registration,
but I find.

Speaker 9 (28:06):
That as award winning journalists who worked twenty five years
at INPR, mister Berlin or was he lying when he
wrote that.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
I am not presuming such. I just don't have We
don't track that information about our journalist. Eighty seven to zero,
and you're not biased? I think that is concerning. If
those numbers are accurate, it's concerned.

Speaker 9 (28:24):
I mean, it wasn't forty four forty three, wasn't sixty
twenty seven, it wasn't seventy seventeen, It wasn't even eighty
to seven. It was eighty seven Democrats, zero Republicans. And
you say MPR is not biased.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
And as much as I do love listening to this,
I I like Trump's I'm assuming Trump and Congress are
going to grease this funding, right, because this is easy.
This is a no brainer. And let me tell you
this is not even just out of uh it's not
some sort of competitive animosity.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Right.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I know you want to public radios out there, but
I will tell you this, you know, public radio is
I've never walked into nicer studios than the two public
radio studios I've been in, And so you get a
little of that because you're like, how do you guys
have all this stuff? This is incredible? Right, ros have

(29:22):
you ever been in a public radio facility.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I've got a high school buddy that I that has
worked for NPR up in Albany for like twenty five
thirty years. Right, I saw a photo of a studio. Yeah,
it's super nice.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, we got our studios. The power flickers and whether
do it construction?

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, but it gives it character, you know?

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, No, that's true. Absolutely, all right, one more of
Jim Jordan, shall we?

Speaker 9 (29:48):
October twenty twenty, New York Post had the Hunter Biden
laptop story, and one of those editors, I guess one
of those eighty seven Democrat editors, said this, we don't
want to waste our time I'm on stories that are
not really stories. We don't want to waste the listeners
and readers times on stories that are just pure distractions.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
Without a pure distraction story.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Our current editorial leadership believes that that was a mistake,
as do I.

Speaker 9 (30:12):
Yeah, the whole country knows that was a mistake. Definitely
impacted the election, or I think it certainly impacted the election.

Speaker 8 (30:18):
How about the COVID origin story.

Speaker 9 (30:20):
That's pretty big story too, right, mister Berliner said, we
became fervent members of the team Natural Origin, even declaring
that the LAB leak was debunked by scientists. Turns out,
though the LAB leak is what most people think actually
caused the COVID virus.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
Congressman, I do not believe we are politically biased. To know,
we are a non partisan organization.

Speaker 8 (30:39):
Nonpartisan organization.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
I mean just they're funding and you know what, here's
the deal. Moonbats will fund them. They'll be fine in
this short term, and then, like everything else, you know,
then people will get distracted, We'll get onto other things,
and then it will be sink or swim, which is
literally every day every morning that Ross and I get

(31:03):
on the radio is sink or swim, you know, text,
every day that you go to work is sink or
swim for you.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, it's the thing like taxpayer money shouldn't it be
going to NPR or these NGOs which specifically benefit one
political party in the country, right, Like there's something unethical
and and moral about that.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
And you'd have a lot easier argument if your news
wasn't such garbage bias, right, because then, because what do
they do They never should they never really defend that.
When this story comes out, what do they do? They
get Big Bird and Elmo to show up to a
press conference, like why do you want to kill Big Bird?

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Right, and then they do the whole you know, for
the children thing, right, Yeah, And it's like, no, I'm
I'm looking at the rest of your operation going what
the hell?

Speaker 1 (31:45):
What what are we doing here? So you go out
and by the way, PBS has good programming, and I
will say this, I don't know, maybe I'll get interesting NPR.
There are some shows on NPR that I have on
the regular I don't really anymore. But when I worked afternoons,
I've listened to their midday show. It wasn't really biased.

(32:08):
And then the car Guys, right, many of you probably
listening to the Car Guys back in the day. So like,
you have programming, go out and make the most of it,
compete with the rest of us, But don't give me
this garbage. Oh no, we're not biased, clearly you are.
We'll be back I don't know why this makes me
feel good, but it makes me feel good. Did you

(32:29):
guys see the video of JD. Vance plucking head shots
at the range at Base Quantico or there's Camp Quantico,
what do we call it? No, Base Quantico, it's Marine
Corps Base Yesterday. So he's out there and he's got
a couple of different weapons. The main one though, was
he had a machine gun, the M two four.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Sorry, I'm not nerdy enough on the automatic weapons there,
But he was blazing man and he's and he's shooting.
I think he was shooting a two hundred yard you're
shooting two hundred yards popping head shots. I'm a pretty
good shot at two hundred yards only because in Wyoming
that's where all your rifles are sighted in. But trying

(33:16):
to get controlled shots too with something that's in a
bur on a burst fire mode pretty impressive. And I
like the idea. I don't know, I kind of like
the idea that our vice president could sniper somebody if
we needed right, if it ever got real, real bad,
and China's like, ah, here we are, and our VP
could set a position on top of the White House
and and stack kills. I'm okay with that, so and

(33:40):
you know why, and this is this is the important
thing here, because you know how I feel about politicians
out couseplane, right, it didn't. It never felt like he
didn't belong there? Does that make sense? Right? How often?
How many times on this show have we made fun
of And usually it's not machine guns. It's like kitchen right,

(34:01):
where so and so is in the kitchen and they
have their apron on. They're like, no, I always make
dinner and it's like, no, you don't, because you're the
vice president. Shut up, I don't expect you to that.
Being said, you still have the folds in your apron?
How many? How many of those have we taken down?
Because nobody thought to iron an apron? And it just
feels so fake, right, Nancy Pelosi with her kitchen tour

(34:24):
and her twelve dollars ice cream pints, right, just everything
just feels fake. Or you're you want to be a
you want to be a man of the people. Jd Vance,
you know that guy? You just feels like a dude.
You'd go to the range with, right, throw a little
five here, a little five there? What you can gamble

(34:45):
at the range? They some of them don't want you
to do that, but like, that's a dude you'd have
fun with at the range. That's great man. And it
never felt fake. And it's not even because I like
the guy. It just never felt How many Republicans have
I criticized for being fake, It's like, just do your
law making stuff. This is not you.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
That's why the whole like you know, jd. Vance is
weird thing never worked, right, Yeah, especially coming from somebody
like Tim Walls, right, And I believe to this day
they did that. They tried to attack Vance that way
to preemptively, you know, defend Waltz from the same attack. Well,
they're gonna say he's weird, so let's say they let's
say he's weird.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Well no, no, no, you know it's true because they
didn't just say jd. Vance was weird. What did they say?
They say, Tim Walls is folksy? Right? Remember what was
the Remember what was the other word they kept using
for Walls too, and it was every newscast used it.
So that was their way of doing exactly what you
just said, one preemptively getting on it, but also trying

(35:47):
to delineate what would appear to be weird with Walls
by claiming he's just folksy.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
He's just either I.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Can't remember the word they used, it was so and
it was so not true because what happened you watched
Do you remember the first time you jd. Vance do
one of the interviews after he was named.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
I remember when he was with THEO Vonn and he
looked so comfortable, So he looked like he belonged there,
Like is.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Going on a rant about doing cocaine, right, And JD.
Vance obviously is not like, yeah, I love coke man, No,
but like he he felt natural in that conversation where
he's just like, it's probably not a good idea, and
he remember he did, and then Theovonn did it twice
as much to Trump too, which I thought was funny.
And Trump's like, well, all right, that's the thing, right

(36:31):
and and and like Trump felt less comfortable in there.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Jd.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Vance is he was just a bro man. He's just
sitting there, so I'm watching him, right.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
But at the same point, you sort of, even though
Trump did well in those interviews, you expect him to
kind of be a little uncomfortable even though he really wasn't, because.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Especially because he doesn't do alcohol, drugs, anything.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Right, right, completely sober so. But also he's like his
seventy something old billionaire you know what I mean, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Jd Vance is just like, yeah, man, that's great story.
Here's when of mine and then when on it. But no,
sitting him out to the it never felt fake watching him,
watching him play around out there. And the other thing too,
was to watch how the Marines interacted with him. That's
the other thing, right. They didn't feel like they weren't
they they weren't reacting to him. In a couple of eclips,

(37:17):
I saw like it's the vice president. We're on pins
and needles, right, you know, because you know you don't
want you don't want your CEO to think that you
were being a jackass in front of you know, the
vice president. You're gonna get dressed down like it was
never that. They're just like it was like a bunch
of marines at the range. It's pretty wild. You haven't
seen the video there, it's floating. They're all over Twitter.

(37:39):
You go check that out, man, And I will say this, wait,
hold on, all right, all right, I know this guy's Joe.
He's all right, so guy, I know this guy is
a is a marine or retired marine. He says, sure
he can shoot, thank you Marine Corps. But how clean
was that rifle after the range? That's the true test.

(38:02):
I don't know, man, I suspect he probably didn't have
to clean his own. What if that is his rifle?
He's like, I just brought it.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
From home, JD Vance. Was it a listed guy?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Right?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Like he didn't go to officers school or anything? Or
did he?

Speaker 1 (38:15):
No? I don't know, I don't.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
I think that's another reason they really respect him the
way they do.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
I'm trying to remember what his rank was when he
came out. Hold on, Yeah, and it's not to say
you can't be an officer, but there is that whole
dynamic obviously clearly right, I work for a living. Don't
call me sir. You know that kind of stuff. But like,
hang on, I want to check because I try, unlike NPR,

(38:40):
I do want to be accurate here, so and uh,
I don't have that off the top of my head. Uh.
I think you're correct though, So all right, here we go.
By the way, did you it was trying to get
me to go to Wikipedia? Did you see a Wikipedia?
Did to Pete haeg sass Entry where they removed a

(39:00):
bunch of his commendations and awards just and then they
threaten people who are trying to edit him in They're like, no.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
I mean that's another non biased organization.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
So absolutely, yeah, he certainly enlisted, right, that's yep, you
are correct.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
So yeah, So I mean that adds a different a
whole different dynamic to it. He's all one of the
guys that came up from the from the bottom, you know.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Dude. Again, that was the whole joke when when they
announced that he's going to be VP. It's like, and
it's not technically protocol, but it's generally how it works. Like,
that's got to be a hell of a thing to
be an enlisted member of a branch of the military,
and now the generals have to salute you. They don't
have to, but it's just you know, good order. In

(39:46):
how they treat the president, vice president. A lot of
people think they have to salute they don't believe it
or not. And then the president, the vice president, but
specifically you know, the president. Really the saluting the troops
is a relatively new thing too. Uh yeah, you know,
in uh, in more modern history, but it's kind of
how it works. So yeah, I saw a video.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
I saw a video recently where there was somebody that
slipped them a challenge coin and it was it was
pretty fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Dude, I want have you seen Trump's challenge coin? I
must have that. I got to figure. I got a
nice little collection. Have you got any challenge coins.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
I've got a bunch that I've received throughout the years
working here that some people have sent me, Like some people, Yeah,
I got air Force ones and ones from BRAG and yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Got some military ones.

Speaker 8 (40:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Dan, I got a Dan Forest.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta. I got a weak
four police Department one, and I carry it everywhere because
if they pull you over, you show the coin and
then and then you tell them you're in the media.
And if that doesn't work, you say, am I being detained?
And that's pretty much it's easy.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
All the secrets away? Yeah? Are you giving all the
secrets away?

Speaker 10 (40:54):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (40:54):
You gotta have the coin, so I see see what
you're doing there, trying to think, trying to think. I
have a challenge coin from an Air Force general too.
I really like that one. That one's pretty cool. And
then I also have a challenge coin from the Wake
County Sheriff's Department that they made to make fun of
the old sheriff. And it's got a rooster on it.

(41:16):
And I can't really get into all the details as
to what it means as it was explained to me,
but they were not fans of the former Wake County sheriff,
so they and then no, I'm sorry, that's the state
that's the state patrol one that has the rooster on it,
and then they I have one for the Sheriff's department too, Yeah,
the state patrol one that's along with the rooster. There's
some troopers listening to this right now, laughing. I suspect

(41:38):
that one. In fact, that thing literally is. I saw
it yesterday because I was cleaning out a like a
bag that was in one of my drawers. It had
all the challenge coins in it. I was just kind
of going through some of them and then putting them
where I have the other ones. But yeah, I love
those things. But Trump's is, you can imagine, is a
it's a you could murder somebody with that.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
I haven't seen it, but I imagine it's probably the greatest
challenge coin. It's so great.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
It's I'm gonna find you a picture and send it
to you.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
It's a pretty huge it's it's.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Well, I mean, what would you expect. That's gotta be
the that's got to be the final Boss Challenge.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
It's got to be like at least four times bigger
than your average challenge coin. I would expect how.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Much it weighs. But it looks giant. All right, hang on, Yeah,
we're doing this on the air. I don't care because
we're all we're all family here. So yeah, if you
haven't seen it, and by the way, if you haven't
seen it, it's all over Twitter, So just check out
the just it type Trump challenge coin and there's a
couple of different ones. All right, Yeah, that's the that's

(42:42):
is this is it right here? All right? Hang I'm
gonna send this over to Ross and then Ross you
can tweak this out because it's a public domain picture.
So yeah, here we go. Check that bad boy out.
I just send it to you. I gotta get my
hands on one of those.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
That is amazing. And I was making a joke about
it being bigger, but that thing is ginormous.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Yeah, because it's a huge hand So you can kind
of thing is Oh wait, wait, hold on, somebody just
you guys need a challenge coin board. What is this
message here?

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Oh wait, hold on? Yeah, hey, if you guys need
a challenge coin board to display all the coins, let
me know. Oh you make he makes custom ones? Oh cool,
look at that.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
I I don't know. Somebody probably steal him out of
the studio. Probably not. It just get moved because everything's
getting moved. So but uh, yeah, I don't know if
I don't know if my collection is good enough yet.
But if I had a Trump one, I would like
that'd be over the fireplace, right, people come over, and
if you're obnoxiously trying to show it to him, I'm

(43:51):
not gonna lie, because like, how often do you get
a presidential challenge coin? Oh, now, I'm gonna see I'm
you know what, you gotta talk to somebody I know
up there. I wonder if they could. And then I
saw I don't know if you saw it. So Trump
coined one of the Marines on Marine one, right, so
you know the Marines that stand outside of the helicopter there,

(44:13):
And he coined one of the marines, but he didn't
coin the other and I saw people who hate Trump
are like, oh, he's discriminating, blah blah blah. They try
to make some racial component, and it's like, do you
not understand how it works? So if Trump's gonna coin somebody,
I'm sure he will. He can make it up on
the fly. But a lot of these things are predetermined.

(44:34):
And if you don't know anything about challenge coins, just
bear with me for just like a couple of minutes,
because I have to explain this. A lot of this
stuff is predetermined when somebody like Trump coins somebody, So
you know, likely what happened is a commanding officer or
you know, somebody up in the food chain basically said, hey,
this kid, this guy, this man whatever, he you know,

(44:55):
he's been doing this for ten years. He's got an
exemplary record. He's a great dude. And and uh, you know,
if you could do that, and even though it really
I mean it has monetary value in the sense that
it's from the president, I guess you could probably you know,
sell it on eBay. That's not what it's about. It's
it's about recognition of what you're doing. It's and it's cool, man,

(45:15):
this is really cool. But Trump's is like, it's like
the challenge coin to and all challenge coins. Man, it's
a it's it's it's a beast, all right, seven nineteen
here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Coming up on
the show, we'll chat with Stephen Kent. That'll be at
eight oh five. We'll get into that and uh, we

(45:35):
have a whole big segment because tariffs don't work until
they do. And I need ross to stare inside this
gold box with a six angel wing to see if
it's real.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
So are there challenge coins in it?

Speaker 6 (45:47):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Yeah, I can't see.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
It full of challenge coins. You should totally get up
in there because this is just a it's a weird
story because also the headline is fake. It says CI
secret CIA files claim Arc of the Covenant has been found. Yeah,
not really. I'll explain next hang out another day. Another
tariff discussion, and also another group of companies that have

(46:12):
decided it's probably a better idea to do some manufacturing
here in the US. Except now we're getting into the
big stuff, specifically Optimobile, and.

Speaker 10 (46:22):
This is very modest, and what we're going to be
doing is a twenty five percent tariff on all cars
that are not made in the United States. If they're
made in the United States, is absolutely not terrorf We
start off with a two and a hared percent base,
which is what we were at, and we go to
twenty five percent, and basically, as you know, and as

(46:42):
you've been saying, not reporting as accurately as a chippy reported,
because it's a massive story, business is coming back to
the United States so that they don't have to pay.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Tariffs, all right, And I will say this, I'm a
little surprised at twenty five percent as it pertains to Europe,
like not delineating, because Europe charges ten percent. So if
a US manufacturer wants to offload a veicle in Europe,
it's ten percent, and so for him to go to

(47:13):
twenty five is more about attacking China. But also I
don't know why you wouldn't like the matching of the
tariffs is one thing. Going fifteen points above it on
European vehicles, I don't know about that. A lot of
people drive us to have I used to have what
I did you know? I used to have a BMW right,

(47:36):
although that technically I think that car was made in
South Africa. BMW has a plant there. I think that's
what the sticker was online. But when I did that
endorsement for the BMW dealership, and they're great cars, a
lot of people drive them. So and I know you
drive America. I like, I hear you, I get you.
I don't know. This never felt smart to me, but

(47:57):
I know some of you love doing it. So here
we go. This is from ral. How much is that
doggie in the window? If it's your driver's side window
and you're driving, it could cost you one hundred bucks
if a new law or a new bill becomes law.
All right, So and this is a Republican sponsored bill,
by the way, dude, have you seen some of the apps?

(48:18):
And we're going to talk more with Pete tomorrow about this.
But the lunatic Democrat bills that were filed this week,
holy crap. Like one lunatic who wants to make the
minimum wage twenty two dollars, which absolutely would demolish small
businesses in North Carolina. I mean, look what happened in
California when they made it twenty dollars for fast food.

(48:40):
The closures, and that's California where you could make a
much much better argument for a higher dollar amount. I mean,
they still went way too high, clearly, But twenty two
dollars in North Carolina. So that's the stuff there. So
that's some of the stuff that is being filed there.
And remember when it's island time, as it is now,

(49:02):
just because you file something doesn't mean anything. Also, I
think the Democrat is she's a woman. I can't remember
what the Rep's name was. You filed the twenty two dollars.
What you do? This is strategy. Okay, let me explain
something to you. What you do when you are not
in power and you have no chance of your bills
actually becoming law. It doesn't matter what you put in them.

(49:24):
So you put, you know, you put big stupid ideas
that you think stupid people are going to gravitate towards
because they don't give a second of thought to what
twenty two dollars an hour minimum wage would do in
North Carolina. So that in the next voting cycle they
vote for you and you never have to worry about
the consequences of your actions here because you filed a

(49:46):
bill knowing that it won't even get assigned to a committee.
It's you filed it. That's going to be the end
of it. It will go nowhere, so you can write
stupid stuff in there. Right, Let's say Ross and I
were elected officials and our parties out of power. Ross
could literally submit a bill and be like free olive
garden for life for all citizens of North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Yeah, you're doing it pretty much just for the branding
and for the marketing that's going to come from the
press covering it.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Yes, and of course they ran out and did it,
and then they do click baity headlines, so like the
minimum wage in North Carolina soon could be twenty two
dollars Fox Fox eight in Greensboro, raum with that head
What are you doing? You know it's not you know
that that bill is going nowhere, and then you don't
do analysis as to frankly, how horrible that would be.

(50:34):
How many of you own a business right now and
could sustain twenty two dollars minimum wage if your business
employees entry level employees.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Not only that, but those people making that money now
are going to ask for a raise because they don't
want to repay them any minimum.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
They're going to be like, well, now I deserve more money.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
Yeah, absolutely, and I wouldn't blame them. I saw literally
that point brought up to one of the National Congress.
It might have been the former rep. From Houston who died.
I think it was her, she Sheila Jackson Lee. They
brought that up and she's like, well, those people are

(51:11):
just greedy, and it's like, no, they're not, dude. If
I work, if I work somewhere and we have in
their entry levels ten dollars and I worked there for
two or three years and now I'm making twelve fifty
or fifteen or whatever because I, you know, supervisor, I
got more, and all of a sudden, you're going to
all of us are going to make twenty two now,

(51:31):
even though I've got years more experience, I'm in a
supervisory role. That's not sustainable. I'd leave. So, yes, one
hundred percent bad idea. This, on the other hand, could
get a hearing. So these are the ones we choose
to talk about. And here we go. So this is Republican,
A couple of different Republicans on this or the sponsors,

(51:53):
and it's essentially a distracted driving thing. The bill would
impose a one hundred dollars fine on driver who are
caught operating a vehicle on a public street while holding
an animal or allowing it to sit in their lap.
How do you guys feel about that? I mean, I
used to drive around with a dog in my truck,
although he mostly would be in the back, but if

(52:14):
it was raining, he'd get up in the cab. And
I gotta tell you he was I never had him
on my lap. Now, to be fair, he would have
to tear himself away from sticking his half of his
body out the passenger side window and having his eyeballs
bleed because I'm doing eighty driving down the freeway and
he's too dumb to put his head in. But hey,
that's what made him happy. So what are you gonna do?

(52:35):
But like, not in the lap. And I can't tell
you the number of people I've seen driving around And
if you know, most of the time people will have like, oh,
that's cute kind of reaction to it. Right, there's h
I had a I have a neighbor. I've a neighbors.
He's got like a little white I don't know what
the hell of the thing is. It's you know what
it is? Whatever breed hates me so and and I

(52:59):
pretty much anyone who gets near it except for her,
and and uh, it's the wife's dog. But I've seen
him driving with it too, and that thing will sit
right in the lap. It's got his little head hanging
out the driver's side window. And I just thought, well,
that's probably not a good idea because I know your dog's
a spaz and if that thing flips out in another
dog while you're driving and it causes you to do like,

(53:21):
I don't know, maybe that's not the safest thing. But
also I don't know that I've ever done a story
where the cause of the accident was a small dog
sitting in somebody's lap, So who knows?

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Now?

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Now what there should be a lot is that you
ever see weirdos who drive around with cats in a car.
I've seen that those people need and we need to
bring back the mental institutions because like cat, you know,
I catt will turn on you in a minute, dig
those claws and right into your right into your leg
or whatever, and now you're you know, now you just

(53:53):
hit a school bus. But yeah, with dogs, I don't know.
You think it's do we need more laws? Do we
need to know the laws saying you can't have a
dog in your lap? And uh? One of the one
of the comments here, and I suspect that that maybe
some of you would identify is a woman claiming that
it's the only way her dog will ride in the
car and not be a lunatic. Right, he doesn't move

(54:17):
if you try to put him elsewhere. He's like he's
running around in the car. And our is our chiuhaha Isabelle?
That's sound that she passed a while back. But that's
the one that would like, you know, super scared of everyone.
And she was like aggressive, like if.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
You got too close to her because she yea, she
was abused, so it was like an abusive reaction. And
every time we would put her in the car if
we had to go somewhere, she would immediately like run
into your lap because she was terrified of the vibration
of the car. Sure, but she was also like this
big like super tiny.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Yeah yeah again, I don't know that I have an
opinion on this one. I don't have a dog.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
And she would just jump up in your lap and
like curl up into a ball like terrified. Yeah what
is uh?

Speaker 1 (55:01):
In the story they had their interview in this uh
who is it? Yeah, it's a woman who has a poodle.
Inter poodle is not a small dog either, So I
don't know. And then you delineate based on size of
the dog. What if you have like an African boarhound,
that thing sat in your lap, you wouldn't be able
to see where you're going. You ever see one of
those dogs. I just happened to see one in person

(55:21):
here for the first time a few weeks ago, and
I'm like, why, nice wolf? What is that? Holy cow?
All right? What is it? You see? This is exactly
what I thought. Now here comes the emails. My dog
always rides in my lap. He's no trouble. I hear
you again. I don't know that I have is a
bad punt. I don't know that I have a dog

(55:41):
in this fight because like I can see both sides
like chill, Like the dog's not doing anything crazy. Most dogs,
you get them in a car, they're like they're just
like excited to see the world go by, right, same
reason your dog stares out the front window and if
it sees a squirrel, it's like I must protect the homestead, right. So,

(56:03):
but like dogs can also wig out. Man, that dog
that I talked about CALLI, who I would drive around
of my truck with when she was younger. I couldn't
put her in the back of the truck because if
she saw something, she's like, I'm gonna go get that.
And she did it one time when I was doing
like twenty miles an hour, and how she didn't get

(56:23):
hurt is beyond me. But it just terrified me. And
so that's why I started putting her in the cab
as we're working on training when she was younger. So,
I don't know what is this, Boston Paul. Isn't there
a law in the books already called heated operation? I
don't know. You're the cop. You tell me, and I
know I've seen your pictures. You drive around with your

(56:45):
lunatic dogs literally on the dash. Boston Paul sent me
a picture He's got like a little for his little
one of his little tiny mongrels. It's got like a
little bed sits on the dash or something. Again, I
don't know. I don't know, but my email is filling
up with people who love doing the with the dog there.

(57:05):
All right, did we test? Are we good to go?
Do we know what's up? Uh?

Speaker 3 (57:10):
So we're not really sure, but right, the com rex
but it's sort of being weird. So he thinks he
fixed it, mate, Maybe he did not.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
What's going on there? Just fix it?

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Am I underwater? Am I not? I don't know?

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Actually no, I mean you're a little quiet, but yeah, no,
you sound much clearer than your home microphone.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Don't say that. Don't say that.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Wait, don't say that. You sound better, understand.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
I want you to say it sounds good enough at home.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Obviously we get the job done.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Unless so it's like it was going in and out
like it would sound like he's underwater where he's like,
we need to do it on the phone. I'm like, no,
we're doing it like this.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
But it's going to be more fun if you write, yeah,
we can make funny. So do you ever have a
dog that like would ride in your lap while you're driving?

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Do? I? Yes? But I don't would you dog's not
allowed in the new truck, so oh.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Well that's a truck issue, but you had no problem
in the old truck or whatever of dog chilling in
your lap while you're driving.

Speaker 11 (58:11):
Most of the time, I don't really prefer that, but
she runs over, she does it, and then I'm just
on the tail end to get home. I would just
be like, you know what, I'm just gonna deal with
instead of trying to fight her off.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Yeah, they're trying. They're thinking to make it illegal here.
So and yeah, very divided.

Speaker 11 (58:27):
Listen, that's that's not a bad idea, not a bad idea,
all right, horse ideas.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
I keep waiting for you to go under water, but
you're not doing it. So I guess do your weather
and I don't know, maybe a payoff for me at
the end.

Speaker 11 (58:40):
Yeah, more dry weather statements out about fire worst fires west.
I been some evacuations h Rutherford County. I believe in
a Polk County get hit hard and wildfires in dry weather.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Continuing next few days. I don't think much help.

Speaker 11 (58:53):
Special weather statement for the low related humidity and the
dangerous fire conditions. Frost advisory too. This morning seeing tep
in the low thirties in spots, but a beautiful afternoon
mid upper sixties. Tomorrow low seventies to the mid seventies,
especially from the triad West could get closer to eighty
and the Triangle. And then as we look ahead towards Saturday,
more dry weather, similar temperatures mid upper seventies before we

(59:16):
start to get some showers by Sunday afternoon and to
Sunday night, Monday and even on into Tuesday. Now a
chance of shower, so so much needed rain is on
the way case. Hopefully we'll get enough here to at
least knock some of that fire down, especially to the
west of us.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
So some hope, but probably not going to be enough.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Okay, all right, thank you sir. We'll try again in
the next hour and hopefully it holds. Okay, thanks all right,
racet aging there from the Weather Channel. All right, I'm
gonna come back to the Ark of the Covenant thing
just because that story is just that's just crazy. That's
right up rally, and we had another sun we've had
another sub mishap, not to the you know, it's not

(59:57):
like the Deep Dive to go see the Titanic sub
story with the PlayStation controller. But a tourist, a homemade
tourist submarine. Ross you would you get on a homemade
tourist submarine? You show up?

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Whose is it? Like if it was like Elon Musk's
side project, like hey this is yeah, I might get on.
That made me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
No, we're talking about some dude who you know, is
one of these guys who just sits. He just runs
a tourist trap on the beach.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
No, this is like one of the guys where he
took people down to see the Titanic with the controller,
with the Xbox controlleror whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
This is much more sketchy. This thing doesn't dive very
It barely goes underwater, probably because the dude looks like
he made it himself. Unfortunately, though, there there was a problem.
So we'll get all that and much more coming up
here on the KCO Day radio program. Kind of got
back into the cycle with the release of some of

(01:00:51):
the other CIA stuff and the JFK stuff and all
of that, and this is I think I think they
released part of it like in two thousand or something.
It's been a long time. That being said, it's now
entered the news cycle again. So and I think there
was some supplemental documents that were part of that latest
document dump, which is what revisited this. All right, So

(01:01:13):
here's the headline, and again the headline. The headline is
kind of bs all right, and it says secret CIA
files claim Arc of the Covenant has been found. Okay,
all right, tell me more. Well, not really. So the

(01:01:34):
documents talk about the studies during the nineteen eighties with
remote viewing right now, and it's an interesting study. So basically,
they brought in people they thought were remote viewers, and
they didn't tell them what they were looking for, but
they indicated kind of where they might try to look,
and then they tried to influence what they would find.

(01:01:55):
And they were trying to get them to say that
they could remote view the Arc of the Covenant. Now
they claim they didn't tell them that. And there was
one dude who was, according to this was very talented,
and immediately he said that he was remote viewing the
Ark of the Covenant and started describing it, described it
as you know, the gold and the handles, and it's

(01:02:16):
got the it's got an angel with six wings, and
you know, now here's the thing. You know, there's a
lot of speculation, and then of course biblically we know
what is said that the Ark of the Covenant looks
like so, but it's the part where he honed in
on that, and they were that's what they wanted, but

(01:02:37):
they didn't tell him. So of all the objects to
remote view, for him to remote view, and I'm making
quotes this whole time with my fingers, to remote view
the thing that they wanted. They found very impressive. So
where is the Ark of the Covenant? Somewhere in the
Middle East? You didn't find nothing. If that's your description,

(01:02:59):
that's done. If Ross's cat runs out of his house
when he gets home later he's like, oh, my cat
ran outside. We can't find it, I'd be like, no, no, no,
I found it. It's somewhere in the US. Yeah, give
me my reward money. I mean, it's somewhere in the
Middle East. Everyone with the exception of Ethiopia, believes it
quote is somewhere in the Middle East, right the the

(01:03:22):
I guess the worky knowledge of it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
And and that, by the way, among people who believe
it physically existed, But a lot a lot of people
do is that it was in Jerusalem. It was kept
inside the Holy of Holies, you know, basically the inner
chamber of the Temple there and and then I don't know,
Babylonia whoever sacked him in like six hundred BC or
whatever took it. So and Ethiopia claims it's chilling in

(01:03:50):
a church, but they won't let anyone come and see it.
But a lot of.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
Tourists, yeah, but saying like it's in the Middle East.
It's pretty vague. I mean, yeah, I thought that I
saw a documentary was in a warehouse in the Nevada Desert.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
Oh wow, yeah, okay, were there Russians about?

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
There were?

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
Oh no, that's not so you've seen the documentary.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Yeah, So I just think, look, here's the deal. I think,
if you're all in on this and you claim to
have found it, you have to look at it first.
And I'll stand over here right prove it to me.
Open it up. There's all sorts of there's treasure INSI
I do it, and if your face starts melting, I'll
be like that dude found the Arc of the Covenant
because I you know, I saw Indiana Jones. Yeah, yeah,

(01:04:36):
that'd be great. So anyway, yeah, I don't know that
I'm buying that thought. We had Steven locked down and
then maybe but we didn't confirm. So maybe I missed
did he maybe he send an email or so. I
don't know. So that I guess we're not going to
chat with him. What I mean, we're gonna talk about
snow white and some other stuff. We can still talk
about it, obviously, but I didn't want to get his perspective. So,

(01:04:59):
uh well, all right, we'll figure out what's up with that.
He's a busy dude. He needs to travel over the
world too. Where was he in Poland here not long ago?
And maybe he found the Ark of the Covenant and
looked inside. Now I'm gonna feel bad because his face
is gone. So all right, well, anyway, I got a

(01:05:19):
few other things we get to. I just saw this.
I literally just saw this story here. So Giants New
York Giants football team, Lashawn Johnson, a former running back
for them. They just popped this dude for running a massive,
massive dogfighting ring like multiple states, all sorts, like he

(01:05:45):
was making bank off this. According to the DOJ, they
announced the indictment yesterday, No, they announced it Tuesday. So
they found this dude, They alleged they found this dude
to be running one of the largest dog fighting operations
that has ever been federally prosecuted. In fact, how many

(01:06:07):
this is just in his house and his house. This
is just his house, right, and there's other dogs at
other facilities because again, he was doing this all over.
Allegedly at his house he had one hundred and ninety
pit bulls or they're described in the indictment as pit
bull type dogs. They've been used. Honestly, man, here's what

(01:06:32):
you do. Go do the trial, figure out and if
he's guilty, dip him in beef tallow because that's all
the rage now, right, the beef tallow ross. You got
any beef tallow for your home? Somebody was sitting here
and send me an email. He's like, hey, I sell
beef tallow because I guess I mentioned it in something

(01:06:54):
the other day. But beef tallow is now what like steaken?
Was it a shake, shack or shake? I can't remember
which one were Kennedy Junior was there eating and they're
making their fries in that and so that's now the
food rage, I guess. But you know, it's really easy
to make and and in fact, a lot of times,

(01:07:15):
although now everyone's doing it, you can. You can get
all the parts you need to make it from scraps essentially,
if you know a butcher. But so anyway, dip this
dude in beef tallow. Throw them in a room with
the one hundred and ninety pit bulls. If found guilty,
I feel like that's fair. We'll see how well trained

(01:07:36):
they are. But make sure you get lots of beef
tallow on them. I hear pitbulls love that. US Attorney
General Pam Bondi called the alleged animal abuse cruel and depraved.
Well that goes without saying. Let's see here trying to
figure out when he actually played it was the last

(01:07:56):
time he played. Yeah, he retired at the end of
the nineties. I was gonna say, it's been a minute,
and he was. So he was running dogfighting operations in Kansas, Oklahoma.
I think his home was in Oklahoma, as well as
some others, under the cover of running kennels. So that
was his cover, except people got suspicious one because they

(01:08:17):
got the dog fighting in two. He didn't take other dogs.
So he's running like this business facade and it's just
chock full of pit bulls and he doesn't take other
dogs to actually kennel, so it wasn't probably very good cover.
But yeah, man, that's the stuff I don't understand. It's
like when they do the you know, the the cock

(01:08:37):
fighting operations, right, they go down to Smithfield and there's
like forty remember when they all ran into the woods
and they just left like fifty cars there. I think
that was down in Johnston County. It was somewhere in
North Carolina and they just all ran into the woods.
It's like all your cars are here, like you know,
we could run plates losers and that shocks you that
that goes on. But this guy, he took it to

(01:08:59):
a whole new level. Like Michael Michael Vick was accused
of I think involved what four dogs, five dogs that
they actually seized, and then they accused him of killing
I think ten or something. I'm not justifying one over
the other. I'm just pointing out that this guy, this
guy had franchised this thing basically because they made other arrests.

(01:09:21):
All right, yeah, here we go. Oh you know what,
Ross I figured out why he did it? Do you
know who drafted this guy? This explains everything. Do you
know who drafted this piece of garbage? Allegedly? No idea Packers.
This is exactly what a packers person would do. Patriots,
Packers can't trust him. I want to watch out the

(01:09:41):
teams with the P's No, no, no, except for the Panthers.
They're fine. But all right, yeah, I'm not surprised any
shot I can get in on the Patriots for the Packers,
We're gonna do it. Over the course of the show,
I had a vision.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
I just had a vision.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Oh, you're Remo viewing something.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
But he, dude, that was super weird. You were just
talking about the dogs, and I felt like I could
see where the arc of The Covenant was. I'm not
no joke.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
It is somewhere in the Middle East. Is that I know?

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
I'm seeing it clearly.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
Sign maybe a business nearby.

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
It looks like it's in the basement of the Alamo.
Is there is a bike? He has a red bike.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
How did I know that? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
That's super weird.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
We'll tell you what I want you. Look. I want
to see if you're right. So I want you to
get in this semi truck with this nice woman and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
She will drive you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
What you don't want to ride with.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
It was scary as a kid, dude, that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Was And it's so like and if you watch it now,
you're like, I was a kid, but you still jump
just a little.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
We should. Yeah, it sure was claymation face.

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
My sister wouldn't watch it. She couldn't watch it, and
so me, being the super nice older brother, I'd be like, oh,
I'll fast forward and then I would stop and play
right as it was gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
You ever do a thing where you pause it so
you see all the different formations of large margints face
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
I saw that. There was a whole article I saw
on one It's one of those nerd sites where they
basically were doing a deep dive of large marches transformation,
and I clicked on it, so it clearly worked, right, yeah,
good on, Good on you editor of whatever that website was,
because I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that's interesting. So

(01:11:40):
also I thought they're gonna have a little backstory there,
but they kind of didn't. Oh that's nice, all right.
I'm people are now telling me about all of the
different busts in their various communities for cockfighting, her dog fight.
What the hell is going on? What is going on?

(01:12:02):
And you see that by the way, you see the
it's a big thing. And still in like Latin American
countries it's a problem. And in fact, if you ever
gone to keep Russ, you ever go to Key West,
you ever made it all the way down there, I
never have no. Okay, So if you go to key West,
there's chickens everywhere, and there's cats. There's cats everywhere too,
but there's chickens everywhere. If you're on the beach, which

(01:12:25):
you know, Key West isn't really a beachy beach, but
they do have a couple of beaches kind of on
the I guess the south side of town there, just
before you get into the main mix there. And so
I go over that beach and it's like, you know,
it's people, you know, sitting with their tents and got
their coolers, and then there's like two hundred chickens just
run around. It is illegal to touch the chickens. They

(01:12:47):
are protected and they and then they just see them
walking around in Key West and there's a dude who
has trained cats who does like a busker thing, you know,
where he's like making the cats do tricks. Then people
throw money in hat. And I just happen to be
there's a there's a bar outdoor bar kind of in
the middle there called Boars something or other. Anyway, I

(01:13:09):
just it was a big gathering space and that's kind
of where the cat guy was. And so I'm sitting there,
I'm sipping a beer. I'm watching these cats and I'm
like ugh, cats, uh. And and then all of a sudden,
one of these chickens comes over and starts alfing the cats,
and the cats are terrified. And all these chickens are
literally the remnants of cockfighting operations. Like when you figure

(01:13:33):
out what they what was, what was going on there?
That was that was a big thing that was going
on down there. And then one day they're like no,
they just get to live and they think they run
the place. Fascinating, but they all kind of look weird too,
like they've seen some stuff, which they probably have. But
watching those cats r get being terrorized by that chicken.
But it's not something I ever expected to see, and

(01:13:54):
that chicken was giving it. Man, you ever been you
ever been chased by a chicken or a goose or
something when you're a kid, it's terrifying.

Speaker 3 (01:14:02):
Oh no, I was chased by a peacock as an adult.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Oh my god. Oh that's right. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
Because you took there Lincoln like to go right, yeah,
the conservatory up there, like to the where is it
in Ashborough?

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
I want to say, yeah, yeah, they're near near over there.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
Yeah yeah no, And it's got this a peacock going
around in the parking lot like like and it sees
its reflection in the cars, and then it'll start pecking
at the car by itself, like trying to attack it.
And then if it sees you, like trying to chase
me out of the parking lot.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
I'm like, dude, this is Peacocks are aggressive and also
U and I guess if you've never really been around peacocks,
the noise that the females make sounds like somebody is
getting murdered. Like it belot. You know, you think of
a peacock, you generally you think of the plumage of
the male, right, and you're like, oh, that's you know,
it's that's beautiful, that's lovely. You ever listen to one

(01:14:48):
of the hens a pea hen? I'm like, is somebody
getting murdered in the woods over there? What is happening?
I first heard it when I was down in Texas
because they got like peacocks running around in Houston there,
like in these like nice neighborhoods. And I just remember
the first time I ever heard that. Literally, I'm like,
I thoughts, I thought a woman had been hit, Like,

(01:15:09):
what's going on in what's going on in that house
over there?

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
It's like an old rusty ironing board that you're like unfolding, right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Yeah, well it's worse than that. Like I don't even
want to play it on the radio to torture you.
I'd have to go find it. But like it's awful
and you're like, oh my gosh ah, even though now
I was gonna make it a joke, get myself in trouble,
won't do it. Won't do it yet another species where

(01:15:37):
it's probably best if the women stay silent.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
It was a joke.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
Calm down, but no, have you ever heard those p hens?
It's it's pretty awful man.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
Oh, I forgot one another tariff story. Let me throw
this in Canada? Who has dude? I saw this stat
I just remember this is gonna be perfect for this story.
So here's the head, Like Canada bars tests from future
ev rebate programs. So they've decided to because they're mad
at the administration. They decided to now punish a private company.

(01:16:10):
And I understand it's Elon's company, but Elon doesn't own
the whole company. It's a publicly traded company, right, so
you know, if you got two hundred and forty dollars
or whatever the share price is, ay by the way,
the share price has been up, up, up the last
week and a half. I I don't know that we'll
ever find out. Ross. You have to assume that some

(01:16:31):
leftists tried to short Tesla once they started vandalyzing them, right,
because I saw people saying they were gonna do that,
like leftist lunatics. So they bet on the stock price
going down, and the damn thing's up like forty bucks
in like two weeks. It's it's pretty wild. So they
shorted it. They lost, They had to have lost money,

(01:16:54):
which gives me warm fuzzies. But anyway, back to this,
So Canada off for his EV rebates, right, which we
do here in the US. Some of the some of
them are insane and and people are like, oh and
Elon Musk is a welfare queen because they take advantage
of those. Well, the rebates are for all EV's in
most cases, although they did start to partition some of

(01:17:16):
his out for some of the under the Biden administration.
But Canada is going to rug pull the whole thing.
Canada also, and this is the stat I saw, so
Canada over the Justin Trudeau, the amount they printed an
additional one third of money, so one third of what

(01:17:38):
had been the standard what a loonies or whatever they
call their money. They basically printed another third of it.
I mean, we printed a bunch of money, but nowhere
close to it it is. It has absolutely savaged their economy,
and so much of that money got turned into green programs,
and so they did analysis of the CO two that

(01:17:59):
had been mitigated by Justin Trudeau's green programs. So you
devastate your economy, or at least you savage it, and
maybe it's not devastated yet, but you definitely give it
a rib kick. And as a result, the like the exchange,
the US dollars down all over the world. Man still

(01:18:21):
a lot of it's still somewhat post COVID, but it
really hasn't recover to where it was. Canada is far worse,
and the exchange rate it used to be, if I
spent a day, the Canadian dollar was worth more, same
with the Euro. Now it's not. US dollar is stronger.
And so they figured out how much CO two that
Justin Trudeau's green programs that required them to basically devalue

(01:18:44):
their currency saved. How much time do you think it
takes China to admit emit that much carbon, so of
the carbon over the entire course of Trudeau. This is
a crazy stat, over the entire course of Trudeau's green
initiatives and and devaluing the currency. They saved this much carbon.

(01:19:08):
I'll tell you the amount here in a moment. How
many how much time do you think it takes China
to admit that much carbon? How many days? Weeks? Months?
I'm gonna go one week you no, no, a little lower?
U five days lower, two days lower, one day lower?

(01:19:30):
What lower?

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
Twelve hours?

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
Half? Put that in half? Six six hours because it's Canada.
There's you know, there's there's not that many people there, right,
and you really didn't have big carbon issues for the
majority of the footprint of your comp of your country.
Six hours. The amount of carbon that justin Trudeau saved

(01:19:53):
while while squandering the value of their currency on top
of everything else. China will put that out in the
course of two of my shows. Good job, good job, loser.
You did it, Yeah you did it, and they saved
the world. Yeah, well for six hours, but hey, six

(01:20:16):
more hours with your family before you know, whatever happens.
And that's nice. That was very nice of them. Six hours,
six hours and as you can imagine, some Canadians were
not happy at that story for obvious reasons. But now
they're going to they care so much about the environment
that they're going to de incentivize purchasing the most popular

(01:20:37):
electric vehicle in the world. And again, I don't necessarily
need rebates, but it's clear that they've delineated this stuff.
It's wild. And by the way, yeah, somebody send me nema.
I'm gonna get into this. Have you seen the Canadian
billboards yet? And if you don't know what that is,
they're right here in North Carolina. I'll get into it next.
Hang on. Over the last two days, I've gotten three

(01:20:59):
four or I was just trying to round them up
so I can see where they are. To Triad one,
I don't know where it is. The guy has a
nine to one nine number. I'm looking at his email
signature here, so I assume it's in the Trine. I
haven't seen it. I haven't seen any of these. And
then one in Fayetteville. So the Canadian government bought a

(01:21:19):
bunch of billboards. I don't know. I don't know if
it's all over the nation or particular swing states or
I don't know. The strategy. But they bought billboards. The
Canadian government bought billboards and like this one and this
one in Fayetteville. Here, what do you all right? So
here's what they say. They say tariffs are attacks on
your grocery bill paid for by the government of Canada,

(01:21:41):
and that it's got the you know, the logo there
from Canada and Fayetteville. I'm just gonna let me just pay.
I'm not picking up Fayettville. I'm picking on the decision
to put this in Fayetteville. Do you do you think
the men and women popping in a Is this on
brag Boulevard? I can't tell and tell where it is,

(01:22:02):
but is that? Are you changed a lot of minds
with that. Billboards are not necessarily cheap either. Now, as
we all know, radio is the superior form of advertising.
Send that to the boss. But you know, billboards, you know,
we have a we had we used to have an
entire iHeart when it was clear Channel cleol. We had

(01:22:23):
clear Channel outdoor. For whatever reason, we didn't own billboards
in North Carolina, which I thought was weird because we
owned a bunch in Minnesota and a lot of states.
And it's still it's spun off. It's its own company
now with channels. It's still called Clear Channel. And and
I remember our salespeople could sell billboards with radio in Minneapolis.

(01:22:45):
And one of our sellers his name was Kevin Gepphart.
Uh he was. He showed me a pricing sheef for
those billboards. Holy cow man. So it's like, that's a
big investment. So I'm wondering. I'm wondering, and I don't
know how big the investment is the amount of money
that you're actually losing on this tariff war right now?
Like did you spend more on billboards than what you've

(01:23:08):
actually lost. I don't know the answer to that, but
I mean, hey, if they want to, you know, if
they want to invest in US companies, it looks like
this one's a lamar, right. Those are the ones we're
used to in North Carolina. So somebody over there is
making money. That's fine. You guys should buy some radio
ads on my show. You can whine about tariffs, that's fine,

(01:23:30):
you know. You know, Ross, do you remember I when
I literally was doing I did an endorsement for Canada.
Do you remember that? Was that you were? You were
on the show by then, But I would do when
I was doing the Hunting and Fishing Show, a little
mini show for Canada, like I was the endorser. This
is and this is the thing. I don't have beef
with Canada per se, or Canadians for that matter. I

(01:23:51):
have a bunch of friends up there. I used to
spend an ungodly amount of time in Canada because the
fishing in western Ontario is so amazing. So they had
a national or a southeastern US pitch and they they
opened it up to any any any you know radio
hosts who might be interested in promoting Ontario tourism, hunting

(01:24:14):
and fishing. And I'm like, so I they said, send
your name and a short description of why you want
to do it, and I sent, like, I sent like
twenty pictures of me holding giant fish in Canada. And
immediately I got it and I had so much fun.
I got to interview all these different resorts and lodges
and stuff. Was great, and I'm glad Canada spends the money.

(01:24:34):
This I don't know. It seemed kind of wasteful to me. Also,
the beef with Canada is more lumber and steel. The
grocery thing seems like an odd thing. For you to
focus on, because that's why the US was mad, because
you guys were charging three hundred percent tariffs after a
certain point on butter and what was what did you

(01:24:55):
say the meat one was ross? It was something stupid.
It was like seven eight hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (01:24:59):
Right, Yeah, that's that's when I saw.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's insane. That's absolutely insane.
Now is it a huge slice? Do we import a
lot of dairy from No? Is it because of the taroffs?
Probably a little. But also you have to understand that
the US, California and Wisconsin produce more dairy than I
can't remember what the number is. They're very proud of

(01:25:21):
this in Wisconsin. Most people don't realize that actually California
produces more dairy and the Wisconsin people want to fight
you when you point that out, but like they're the
largest single producers in the world of combined dairy, just
those two. If you add just those two states, then
the US becomes the largest producer of exportable dairy I

(01:25:44):
think is what the number is. So I'm sure China
produces more interior, but they don't export as much because
you don't want to drink Chinese milk. Probably got lead
in it. But in this case, like the beef is
over groceries, but the way that you're getting hit right
now is over steel. That's that's what's happened. There's a
there was a story the other day about a steel

(01:26:05):
manufacturer up in Canada that's laying off a third of
their workforce. I guess they're they're they're doing that thing
where they park them so they'll hire and back if
things change, but for right now, and and that sucks, man.
But like the vulnerability that Canada allowed itself, uh with
their single When you are essentially delineated down to a

(01:26:26):
single trading partner and you find yourself in a spat,
you're gonna lose. You're gonna I don't care what Joy
Reid says. In fact, would you put that Joy read
insanity up again? Please? All right? Russ from the other day,
if you didn't hear this cut from Joy Reid who
she'd interviewed, Oh, she's with Don Lemon, I think right,

(01:26:47):
So she's on there. This is the reason this chick
doesn't have a show anymore. She's an absolute lunatic. But
if anybody thinks what she thinks, you're not doing the math,
because here's the only thing you need to know, all right,
the percentage of your GDP in Canada. Let's start in
the US. The percentage of US GDP that is tied

(01:27:09):
to US exports to Canada in any and Vicera is
two percent of our GDP, so going both ways in Canada,
it's depending on who you ask, it's twenty six to
forty percent because there's seasonal adjustments. So when you have
a fourth of your economy hinging on one trade partner,

(01:27:31):
you're screwed. And on the steel thing, it's really not
even the US's fault because China's been dumping below market
value steel all over the world, trying to essentially box
out producers, put them out of business so they can
be the number one manufacturer. And it's just one of
a thousand things that China does that is supposed to
be illegal, and then they just do it anyway. So

(01:27:51):
you get that double whamming up in Canada of getting
in this fight with the US and then China doing
what they're doing to manipulate the price of steel. I
don't know why you're running billboards with groceries. That's not
your problem. Your problem is the steel, and in fact,
to help you solve the problem, I'm going to send
you joy reed. The first I'm going to play this
lunatic cut.

Speaker 12 (01:28:12):
First of all, you can't make Canada the fifty first
state without going to war with them. And let me
explain how that happened, how that worked out. The last
time we tried to go to war with Canada, they
burned the White House to the ground in eighteen fourteen.

Speaker 8 (01:28:27):
And won the war.

Speaker 12 (01:28:30):
Canada beat us in the War of eighteen twelve. They
probably liked their chances against us. We're not gonna beat
them in a war because we have never been able
to do that. You'd have to occupy a country that
is equivalent of the size of the United States, in
which the top two thirds of it is uninhabited, frozen

(01:28:55):
forest land that touches the Arctic.

Speaker 3 (01:29:00):
I can't, I can't, I can How did this get
stupider from the other day right express how dumb she is?
In eighteen twelve, did we have the biggest military in
the history of the world, No, because we do now.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
No, we did not, and that's why we ended up
leaning on the French for some of that. But they
it was such a decisive victory. They took exactly zero
square meters of land. I just want to point this out,
and in fact, actually we hosed them on. We hosed
them on some land after that too.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
We just went reported the fact that she points out
their population is, but she doesn't point out their population
and compared to our population.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Well, then she does she but then she points out
the size as though the size matter that Canada is
quite a bit larger in the US.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
It is, but like she pointed out, most of it is,
you can't inhabit it because but.

Speaker 1 (01:29:49):
Also it's not forest land, right, because there's a little
thing that happens, and I've been there. When you start
getting north in Canada, there's no more trees, right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
I mean, it is one of the dumbest statements I
think we've ever played in the show. And every time
you play it's gonna sound just dumber and dumber.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Hold on, she's not done. There's twenty more, twenty four
more seconds.

Speaker 12 (01:30:07):
You know how that worked out when the Nazis tried
that with Russia, which is the equivalent of Canada on
that part of the world. But we don't lose what
we don't have enough troops to occupy. They are a
country of thirty nine million people who are who have
about as many guns per capita as we do.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Okay, she's so dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
Also, it's spring man, it's raced agent from the Weather Channel.
Le's get him in here. It's spring. So not that
we couldn't you get the tenth Mountain Division could go
take that whole country in the middle of December. Don't
get me wrong, but like it's almost summer and the
snow melts in Canada. She's I don't know, maybe she's
never been there. Sorry, Ray, it's got a weather angle.

(01:30:57):
So and now he's not there. You know why, because
he died from the stupid he was. He listened to
joy read and he went, oh my gosh, that's a
person with an opinion. He listened to the opinion and
he just just dropped in. Okay, all right, he apparently
he's recovered. I'm sorry. I think we killed you with
the stupid that I apologize for that. Did that just happen?

Speaker 6 (01:31:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
Yeah, First as Comras died, he was there and died,
and then then he called him the phone and then
that died.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
All right, hold on, uh, go look out the window,
look to the south, checked the smoke signals, he's he's
back on the phone or on the comrades. S O.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
S Well initially dialed in it. And so I was
kind of like said, I thought I.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
Thought you died listening to how I feel bad for you.

Speaker 11 (01:31:48):
Well we're still here, unfortunately or fortunately everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:31:52):
Words you think you're you're a meteorologist, Uh, Canada always
covered in uh a Russian winter level of snow or
green from time to think it's green.

Speaker 11 (01:32:04):
Well, remember a couple of years back they dealt with
their own set up with the big wildfires too.

Speaker 1 (01:32:09):
No, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
Yeah, that's a perfect way to say, no, it's not
they okay, all right and dry.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
We'll call joy reading.

Speaker 2 (01:32:17):
You've gotta go probably way northward there the weather.

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
Because your thing sounds like it's gonna die again. Really,
that's I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
Man, that's whatever looks good.

Speaker 11 (01:32:28):
Little frost this morning, patche frost frost advisory thirties go
to sixties today, so we probably double our temperatures you're
seeing now in the car thermometer mid upper sixties tomorrow,
mid upper seventies, maybe eighty for the triangle. Same thing
on Saturday, with a little more cloud in and we'll
get some showers Sunday through about Tuesday, and there might
be some stronger storms in spots. So let's to keep
an eye of swear weather threat, especially Sunday night.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
At the Monday. But much need of rain coming in too,
so that will be welcomed. Casey.

Speaker 11 (01:32:54):
It looks like, you know, we're probably done with a
real cold air. I don't know as we get into
April on Tuesday and go through the month, if we
get another little shot at chilly air coming in it
Right now, looks like call signs are spring and hopefully
little wet weather, not only for the Polem but some
of the wildfires to the west of us that continue tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
All right, hey you sir, try again tomorrow maybe, yeah, maybe,
and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next hand. Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 13 (01:33:20):
Worries over inflation and the widening trade war sank the
stock market yesterday. President Trump signed his order for twenty
five percent tariffs on important autos before Wall Street rang
the closing bell. Those levees will take effect next Wednesday.
Stock market futures are mixed this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:33:37):
S and P and.

Speaker 13 (01:33:38):
Nasdaq futures both a little lower. The Dow futures are
up twenty seven points. Turns out the economy was growing
a little faster than previously estimated at the end of
last year. The government says the gross domestic product expanded
at a two point four percent annual rate in the
fourth quarter. The prior estimate out a month ago was
two point three percent. There was a small DOWNTAI last

(01:34:00):
week and the number of workers signing up for unemployment benefits.
The Labor Department counted two hundred and twenty four thousand
initial applications, one thousand fewer than.

Speaker 6 (01:34:09):
The prior week.

Speaker 13 (01:34:10):
United Parcel Service has a new tool designed to help
overseas merchants when they sell products to Americans. It is
called Global Checkout. E commerce Retailers that ship with UPS
can embed it in their websites. It will automatically calculate
the cost of tariffs and other levees on products and
shoppers online carts and add them in at checkout. This

(01:34:31):
avoids the problem of buyers seeing surprise charges from international
duties when their.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
Parcels arrive now.

Speaker 13 (01:34:38):
UPS says the timing on this, of course, is great,
but it is something that's been in the works for
some time advertisers are returning to the X platform, its
expected ad sales will grow for the first time since
the social network. Since the social network was known as Twitter.
Its projected domestic ad sales will be up seventeen percent

(01:34:58):
this year. In case see, the Nike Dunk is losing
its cachet. The Dunk was once the hottest sneaker in
the world. Nike's new leadership, it's dialing back the company's
dependence on classic sneakers and making way for fresh designs.
Analysts at Piper Sandler project sales of the Nike Dunk
will plummet seventy percent over two years.

Speaker 1 (01:35:20):
Casey, is that that? Is that a Jordan thing? Or
I'm not familiar with all the Nike shoes.

Speaker 13 (01:35:26):
No, the article says it. Yeah, it's worn more on
the street than on basketball courts.

Speaker 6 (01:35:32):
Is the way the article was written.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
All right, and you're too cool to hang with us tomorrow?
I saw, so that's it.

Speaker 13 (01:35:38):
Yeah, Denise Pellegrini wants to wants to be in and
we harder the show tomorrow. Yes, all right, she's looking
forward to it to Okay, you to.

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
Take care, there you go. Jeff Pellinger, Bloomberg News yeah,
I don't know. I don't car remember the last time
I owned a pair. I don't have anything against Nike.
Still have some Nike golf clubs actually, but yeah, I'm
not up on the shoes. I just know that that
people like to loot them in hurricanes sometimes. And uh
then I see what they charged for, like old Jordans

(01:36:11):
and you're not supposed to actually wear them, and I
just tapped out or something. I'd like, do you ever
see every see these closets where these dudes have like
three hundred pairs of Nikes like Jordan's and they're going
through like their uh uh. And I understand there are
collectors out of They're like shoe files or something weird. Yeah, man, Anyway,
what was that show on MTV with the Cribs? Right

(01:36:32):
like every episode they'd go if it was a guy
who was a sport dude or a musician, is like
this musician, he'd have like a shoe room that was
bigger in my house. So all right, do what you're
gonna do. Remember Ross and I we had the fake
Reebok pumps, So.

Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
Dude, I only wear New Balance. Now New Balance is
the elite shoe.

Speaker 1 (01:36:52):
Yeah, Ross, Ross gave into our our.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
Age wear the old person shoe.

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
Now, I like costas. That's what I wear. They're very comfortable.
Slip on, slip off. All right, check this, hey, Lincoln,
ever do the thing where he thought there was a
monster under the bed in the closet, You're.

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
He did, but he thought it was hilarious. Okay, he
wanted the monster to come out and play. He laughed,
just over and over again.

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
That's actually, it's kind of funny. Actually. In Kansas, though,
a babysitter was babysitting these two kids. One of the
kids came out and said, hey, there's a monster under
my bed. And so, you know, the babysitters like, all right,
so you go do the thing where you go check
under the bed to make your kid feel better. Child

(01:37:34):
predator under the bed?

Speaker 3 (01:37:36):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:37:37):
Yeah yeah, Barton County, Barton County, Kansas. I don't know
where that is. According to the babysitter, she came back
in to alleviate the child to look under the bed
and was a dude was staring at her. He jumped
out from under the bed, knocked her and the child over,
and then ran out of the house.

Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
Well, the kid got the Monster part right
