Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got a bunch of stuff we've got to go
over today, not the least of which is this very
weird Wall Street Journal article. And I guess if you're
not aware, you're living under a rock or a trained
trestle of some sort. So the Wall Street Journal reported
yesterday on a collection of letters that was bound into

(00:25):
a book purportedly done by Gislaine Maxwell on behalf of
her boss back in I think two thousand and three,
right around there, to commemorate Jeffrey Epstein's fiftieth birthday. And
one of those letters is, according to the Wall Street Journal,

(00:50):
reported to be from Donald Trump. However, it's very different
than I've ever seen Trump do anything. Is what is
one of the things that the media has criticized Trump
over repeatedly, and and generally they position it in the
Haylok of this weirdo kind of way, and that is,

(01:12):
dude doesn't like he doesn't use email and stuff. He
doesn't like using computers. I don't know if he doesn't
like using it. I don't think he trusts it. He's
a I want to see paper. I'm sure he does.
And obviously he's on Twitter, so he's using a version
of that and truth. So but with that being said,

(01:33):
there is a letter in there that is reportedly from Trump,
according to the Wall Street Journal story, except it's partially typewritten.
Then a hand drawn caricature of a naked woman is
on it, and it has uh it has it has

(01:57):
uh breasts. However, when you go down one of the
nether regions, rather than illustrating any sort of hair or
anything else, it's his signature. And then it's surrounded with
several lines of typewritten text, and there at the end
there is well go a way pop up. There is

(02:20):
a line that reads happy birthday, and may every day
be another wonderful secret. Obviously, Trump and the White House
and everyone around him are like, this is fake. I
don't know what's going on here. Clearly that he didn't

(02:42):
write that. It doesn't look like anything he would have written.
In response to the story, Trump on truth Social posted
that I've now ordered Pam Bondy AG to produce any
and all pertinent grand jury testimony, subject to court approval.
All right, you know we talked about yes, I was

(03:03):
it yesterday. I mentioned it. I had been reading on
another theory on all of this Epstein stuff, and I
think I labeled it the Switcheroo theory, and I I
I didn't have any reason to believe that more than
any of the other theories that are out there, because
I firmly believe if there was you know, out Trump

(03:28):
as you know, a A an Epstein style predator with
Epstein info or evidence, there's no way the last administration
wouldn't have made that public. I don't believe it for
a minute, not with not with all of the indictments
and let's get a mug shot of this guy and everything.
You know, let's prosecute somebody for a crime that nobody's

(03:51):
ever been prosecuted for in a way that nobody's ever
been brought you know, with what New York did, like
the whole the whole thing that was for me, that
was the biggest piece of evidence that if they had
something on Trump as part of Epstein, we know about
it by now. So it's just really weird that this
signature comes out. And so the switch to ruth theory,

(04:13):
as I understand it is the last administration, I guess
it's who knows, maybe it predates that, but the last
administration went through and whether it was the CIA or
the you know, actual Biden staffers or whatever, and they

(04:34):
basically purged all their buddies from any of these records, right,
you don't want to get any big DEM donors in trouble,
and then inserted things in there, false things to make
Trump or Republicans or whoever their enemies are to look bad.
And then when when Donald and them got in there,

(04:55):
because remember most of the documents were with the Southern
District of New York, which I don't know if you
saw this yesterday, you see that James Comey's daughter was fired.
That's interesting, and so they they got ahead of their skis,
and then when the documents showed up, they were looking
at it going, what is this. Clearly this is not accurate,
you know, because he would know whether he wrote the

(05:15):
letter or not. And they did that as some sort
of ha ha, you wanted to release it. Go ahead
and release it, We'll see what happens. Does that make
any sense to anybody, especially in light of this letter, which,
again just the description of it doesn't sound like anything
I've ever seen. Donald producer, you ever seen Donald Trump doodle?

(05:39):
I've not ross you've ever seen Donald Trump doodle. I've
never seen a Trump doodle.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
No, I mean the closest I've seen, right is his signature,
which is like, oh.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
It's very ornate. Yeah, it looks like does love the signature.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
It looks like something from another planet, like from spaced signature.
But yeah, I know the words and stuff don't match
him at all. And how many words from Trump have
we seen since twenty sixteen ran social media?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
But the dude rights, yeah, yeah he and he said,
it's not my language, it's not my words. I never
wrote a picture in my life, which is a weird
way to say it that Trump would say it that way.
I never wrote a picture. Who says it like that?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
But I mean everything being said, And like I said,
I'm not I'm never one of these forty chess guys,
and I'm really a conspiracy guy. Really don't like I
like making fun of the conspiracies and I like, you know,
reading about them because I find it like it's like
science fiction entertainment and stuff. It's what diver But like
I'm not like, yeah, this is totally true. But like

(06:35):
the way he's been using hoax recently, that word this
makes a lot of sense now, Like if you think
about it in that way and the way that he's
taking it all in, that's exactly what it is. I
mean that I'm sort of that's where I am. Now, Yeah,
I like it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I don't know. Look, I still think that he's handled
this whose thing, the whole thing horribly, if in fact
that is.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
The case, because I mean from the beginning, like they've
had this information for a while, like they knew this
was coming right right, because the news agencies whatever it
is Wall Street Journal or what ever, has but hey,
we have this information, this story, We're gonna run with it.
Do you have any comment or whatever?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, the White House told him not to.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, They're like no, it's false, and they decided to
run it anyway. So they knew this was coming and
that's why he's pivoted like he did.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
It makes sense, Yeah, I I I I am. I
am inclined to uh believe that that is a possibility.
I guess is the way that I would word it.
I just don't know. But but like, think of think
of the sheer political insanity it would be to mock

(07:41):
up something like that. Do you know what I'm saying?
It's not that not that people wouldn't do it look, somebody,
somebody mocked up those records. They gave Dan rather the
cost due.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
They've done far, they've done far worse.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
They've probably no, no, no, I agree, It's just it's
still boggles my mind.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Look at the entire Russia, you know putin you know,
Russians hope whatever it is, I went through the FISA courts.
I mean they'll do Yeah, they'll do it.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah. That's so. Who's the artist in the Biden family
that would be? That would make the story the most amazing,
wouldn't it. And he's like, hey, Hunter, come in here.
You can draw, right, and Hunter can draw? Dude, I

(08:24):
want that to be the case so bad because it
would be the most insane political story of my lifetime,
wouldn't it. You know? I keep him, I'm all strung
out on crack. Can you draw a naked woman? He's like, oh,
I got this.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Right.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
You know, I'm an expert. Yeah, I have all this information.
Let me refer to my uh my sources and my
laptop so I can get an accurate depiction of Wait, oh.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Man, I misplaced it. Oh man.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I keep going back to that meeting they had when
Trump was saying he was gonna send the weapons to
Ukraine right where he said, Hey, we're sending all these
weapons to so you know, Ukraine can defend themselves or whatever,
and I keep them. That guy next to him, he
was like the the CIA.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Guy or whatever. Yeah, CIA Director, it's Jean.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
The smirk on his face, Yeah, and the way he
was looking at Trump. I'm like, man, they have something
on him. That is because we've seen so many like
one hundred eighty degree turns in the past month on
this show, and he was doing yeah when he was
still in Congress. They fed him to us during he
was a surrogate for Trump's first election. Something about that

(09:28):
smirk though, during that press conference or during that meeting,
it just rubbed me the wrong way. I'm like, they
have something on him, because I think.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
When you when you get named CIA director and then
you get to walk in there and you're like, show
me the vault of info, that's got to be a
pretty crazy week, you know what I'm saying. You get
to see all the CIA stuff that ain't released, so
who knows what it does to it? Look don't I
don't know about any of this. Maybe maybe Trump wrote
that letter. Maybe it's a rap. Maybe it's a reference,

(09:57):
but it's not a reference to child rape, like all
of the possibilities. But it's just so outside of anything
I've ever seen him word. I've seen letters that he's written.
He literally writes them. And I'm not talking about proclamations
where staff you know, you know, types it up or
whatever that that's a different thing entirely. And then he

(10:18):
fixes his signature like executive orders, right like he clearly
he didn't write that.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
You can just tell when somebody writes something. When you've
read somebody for a period of time, like you understand
their sentence structure and how they use you know, m
dashes or how they put words together, or the rhyme
and rhythm of how they write. And it's not Trump.
It makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
The whole the whole thing is strange, man. But you
know it just it does feed into the uh, you know,
the switcher ruth theory, which would just be insane. I
mean just every level of it would be absolutely insane, man.
But like people do crazy stuff. Do you see the

(10:56):
do you see what that illegal immigrant in California did?
If you haven't seen this story yet, this is this
is this guy's what is the what is her name?
Uriana Julie Palez Calderon. She got herself a whole new
set of charges. She got some problems. I'll give you

(11:20):
that story. We got Pete Callender coming up, very curious
what he thinks of the letter. That'll be an eighth five.
So busy Friday around these parts here on the CaCO
Day radio program. Hang on, I am I am feasting
a bit on the the freak out going on right now.
I don't know if you guys know this, but they

(11:42):
canceled Colebear's late show and it is not sitting well
with his equally unfunny brethren. Jimmy Kimmel literally went on
a tangent against CBS yesterday. Kimmel blasted CBS, So, if
we're canceling Colbert after tip, has it been ten years

(12:04):
with Colbert? Has have we been punished that long?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I mean, it feels like it's been longer, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, it does, doesn't it. I love you, Steven f
you and all your Sheldon CBS. Kimmel rode on his
Instagram referring to obviously Big Bang Theory and the spin
offs there, you know the difference between the Big bang
theory though, and what's the what's the Sheldon shows at
Young Sheldon, right, I don't know that I've ever I've

(12:29):
watched a ton of clips from it, and yet I've
never watched an episode. The clips are always funny, though,
the difference is there, As I just mentioned, they're funny
and they get ratings.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, nobody watches these late shows anymore. They just don't.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, there's been so many stories written about what happened
to their ratings.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yes, I mean remember when Colbert had the dancing Pfizer
whatever it was like ringes during COVID. Yeah, oh man,
I can't believe your show was canceled. How could that
have happened?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
I you know, the fact is that they and CBS said,
quote it was purely a financial decision. I believe them.
I don't think they cancel him because of his content
and some people some people are like, oh, it was
too edgy and irritated the regime. I saw that floating
around yesterday. CBS isn't canceling Colbert because Trump's bad, because

(13:20):
they you have to cancel every single other late night
host right now, all of them fallin at least I
don't know fallin At least, I think Leans away from
the politics.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Is the least guilty of the three of them. Like
he's just sort of like goofy and funny and you know,
there's sort of like an innocence there.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah. But Colbert and Kimmel are absolutely unwatched. They're insufferable
and and their ratings show it. I've seen some ratings
that are there. They're getting beat by like ten cable
news shows or got cable news, cable cable TV shows.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Well, yeah, no a Greg Gutfield that kicks their ass, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Gutfield, Yeah, absolutely So, I mean for what they're I
promise they're not paying Gutfield, but they're paying Colbert, say
Royle Schill. You google and see how much they're paying Colbert.
I bet that's public. I bet it's a stupid number
because that's what you used to be able to pay

(14:22):
the you know, the two big guys going back to
Leno Letterman and then of course I'm sure Carson made
bank obviously, but hes going back to Leno Letterman, it
was it was a dumb number, but they got like
twenty some million people to watch. He makes about a
fifteen million, fifteen million that's per year, right, yeah, fifteen

(14:44):
million as such. Look, that's a lot of ads. You
got to sell at a certain rate and after at
a certain point. If you're an advertiser and you're getting
charged for you know, old late show prices, and these
guys are putting up these tiny little numbers, eventually the
ad buyer is gonna be like, yeah, no, it is

(15:05):
the CaCO Day radio program slash British Open Viewing Party.
Brian Harmon the American in the lead right now, very excited.
So yeah. One of the things that I root for,
and I got I gotta send something to Ross real quick.
Hang on. One of the things I root for is
one I want an American to win. It's nothing personally

(15:26):
against the British. They just get so bedwetty when one
of theirs doesn't win. That I enjoy that, but I
need the more, how do you say, red Neckish American
golfers or maybe some of the South Africans to win,
because they really don't like that. Especially do you guys

(15:49):
remember back in the nineties when John Daily won. I
want to say it was ninety five, I think, And
you gotta understand this is peak mullet John Daily. This
was a party in the front, or excuse me, business
in the front, all the parties in the back. And
he's wearing like this this funky like winds sweats. I

(16:11):
mean it's a wind pullover, but it almost looks sweatshirting
and it's got like stains on it and stuff. And
that's how I ate one. And so then they had
to give him the trophy. And so you've got like
and it was at Saint Andrews now that I remember,
which is, you know, the holy grail of golf. And
so you got these stodgy British dudes and like tweet
suits having to give this absolute specimen, this app who

(16:35):
would fit in in any rural county in North Carolina
like a glove man, and they got to give him
the Wannamaker. Oh oh, I love. I just set ross
a picture of him celebrating his win on eighteen. Look
at that. You think that you think the British upper
crust was happy handing that redneck at his prize.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
It's so like symbolic too, of like the revolution sort
of right where you have all of these like you know,
perfectly fitted in their red uniforms.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Then we have the American you know, the Patriot.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, in the woods, just in the tree.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Take it picking them off. I love it.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, there it is. No, Yeah, I know this photo.
It's the uh it's the Tiger John Dilly meme that
you is.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah. No, he's wearing straight black pants so he hadn't
I guess he hadn't started that brand yet. That is
his pants brand. But yeah, oh I love it. Look
at him. Look at that mullet. Man that is that
is a mullet.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
He looks like it could be like Dusty Rose, you know,
the American dream like his like secret child or something.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
And he just went to the home of golf and
whipped everybody's butts. That's what I want. That's I don't
even I think Bubba's kind of a jerk, but I
want somebody named Bubba to win the Brutish Open do
it now? No, I will say this. The Scottish people,
they tend to embrace but that's because they're big golfer
is a guy named Beef who kind of looks like
this still, so I'm good with that. So a shout

(18:01):
out to the Scottish folk because they'll embrace that. But
you gets the same yeah, and Saint Andrews is up there,
but like still it's that's that's not who's running the place.
I've been to Saint Andrews. Very nice, and you don't
realize there's about three hundred courses at that place. They
got all these different and they're all over the place there.

(18:23):
And look, if you play golf, you should go. You're
going to have to have a certain handicap to get on,
and then you're gonna look at it and you're like,
this is all flat, this isn't a problem, and then
you're gonna get your butt kicked in. Or if you
don't want to travel, and you're like, Ross, you don't
want to leave the US, and you want to play
Saint Andrews. They have a recreation of Saint Andrews. I've
played it in Orlando with the road hole and everything. Man,

(18:48):
and of course you know, you go there and what
do you got to do? Ross won't know this, doesn't
watch the golf. You got to go try to take
that shot where you hit it into the wall back
onto the green and I hit the ball and it
struck the dude I was playing with. So they're they're
slightly better than me. But that's okay. So yeah, I
want some I want somebody with a droll to win

(19:10):
this thing. And the more unkempt they look the better cause, uh,
you know, that's just me and I and I root
for weird things. Let's see here being a weird things.
Which one of you weirdos left your pants at the
Greensboro Police Department. This is a strange tweet yesday. Man.

(19:32):
So if you guys don't follow the Greensboro PDS Twitter account,
you should. I don't know who does it, but it is.
It is pretty funny occasionally, and it's it says, if
you left your pants on one of our cars at
h Q, please come and collect them. You need to
know the size and the brand to get them. How
how does that work? Also, let me let me ask

(19:56):
h the Greensborough law enforcement how do you not notice
a pantsless dude walking around your headquarters. I'm very confused
because those aren't folded nice. Those look like somebody just
took them off and they're laying on some random car.
I'm assuming it's employee's car or something. I don't know.
Maybe it's Boston, Paul, it is British Open Week. That

(20:17):
actually would make sad. I might have to call in
a tip. Is there a reward for this?

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Wait, hold on, hold on, so you tell me there's
an update on this tweet? They too follow it? Did
they find the pants owner? Oh? Look at that update?
Pants have been claimed? All right? Never mind, I should
have checked this morning. Well hold on, hold on, Well
what's the story. You can't leave us in suspense like

(20:44):
that with some guy in tidy whitey showed up and
he's like, I think they're mine. What's the story here? Yeah?
Put a one line update? All right? Whatever? Eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I thought
we were going to solve the pants cap for this
more and then they solved it already. That makes me
very sad, although I don't know if this was an

(21:09):
American or not. So if you were watching the golf
yesterday with Scottie Shuffler's get Ready to hit this happened.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (21:27):
It was so much to say about that show up.
It's so enough.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
The cup face. I don't know who did that. You
should You probably need to go check yourselfeh. And by
the way, I'm glad you didn't do it next to
that lunatic women from yesterday who was just trying to
buy sweet treats. She would have had an absolute meltdown
one more time. Damn, I'm British.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Little do it to you probably had the full uh
the full blast.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Face something off the cup faces.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
It's called minutes. And by the way, just to show
you how twisted I am from behind, I have this.
He's down the green. Yeah, I have this sitting in
my archives. That's Tiger Woods. Somebody was pointing one of
those directional uh uh you like the little satellite dish

(22:28):
look of microphones right at Tigers. He's getting ready to
hit and it was unfortunate timing. So uh AnyWho. So
that's yeah, that's how we're starting the show this morning.
So because you know, kind of also watching the British Open,
well while we do this, these are my two days
to do it, so none of you judge bect Let
me get an update on the score here, all right,

(22:55):
all right, oh look at that. Harmon's still one stroke up.
All right, let's do it, Brian. Although there are how
many other Americans anybody? English, Scheffler and Glover are all
still in the top ten. There so a lot of
golf to play up there, and it looks like the
weather's going to go to more to crap. So for

(23:16):
whatever that's worth, all right, eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four let me get to something
slightly more serious. Not that golf's not serious. It is
the British Open after all. Let's see here. I guess
I got a touch. I guess I do have to touch
on this. So yesterday CNN was having an absolute meltdown,

(23:41):
and I mentioned this in the first segment, as James
Comey's daughter has been excommunicated from the Southern District of
New York US Attorney's office. Now, if you remember she
handled the Diddy thing that didn't go real well, and
she's handled others, and it's all are one of these
things too. Where she was, you know, she was part

(24:02):
and parcel of what was going on with the Trump investigation.
And she's James Comy's daughter and she's come out she's
been very political. I don't know all the reasoning behind it,
but I will say this, it's really hard if you're
Pam BONDI I think to trust her in that position,
and I don't know because remember they were holding they
were holding out on documents with the Epstein stuff. Somebody
lied and said they sent it all, and it was

(24:23):
clear they didn't send it all. If you believe that story,
and I do so, the fact that it took this
long for somebody's head to roll is beyond me. But
CNN was not handling it.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
Well, I why fire her?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Now? Can we talk about Marine?

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Call me for a second? Marine call me me was
for ten years an extremely successful, dedicated and ethical assistant
US attorney in the Southern District of need you know.
She was a high ranking person in that office. She
became the head of the public integrity unit. She supervised
the case.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Here's the thing, this guy's going off and this is again,
this is the whole I have a doctorate and so
I know more about this than you. Maybe you don't.
Just where position and rank are the only determining factors
as to whether you think somebody is qualified for something
or good at something. There's a lot of very highly
educated people that wouldn't last five minutes in certain situations

(25:20):
because they either don't have the requisite knowledge or they
you know, frankly, they changed and their motivation became something else.
There's a lot of people and This is what is
squashed a lot of trust in things that normally we
used to trust, whether it's people within the education system
or it's the medical world. After we saw the willingness

(25:44):
of people to compromise themselves for variety of reasons during COVID.
So you don't know any of this, sir. You're basing
it off the fact that previously she hadn't been fired
and she got a promotion.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
But go on against Robert Menendez, the corrupt senator. She
tried Julane Maxwell, she tried p Ditty. The idea that
she got fired is a disgrace to the Justice Department.
And Jay Clayton, supposedly the US attorney in the Southern
District of New York, ought to resign himself in disgrace
because he allowed this to go on. This is an

(26:20):
outrage that this one.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Let me add to what you're saying, Okay, well he
didn't allow it to go on. It's not his decision.
Did Would you want to all stand up and say,
I am Spartacus, I don't know, I don't understand what
you're expecting, sir. You have no idea what the background
was and if she was fired because those documents weren't
turned over. Uh, and she somehow had the oversight on that.

(26:46):
Then that is a perfectly reasonable reason to fire somebody.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean, you combined the Epstein stuff right with the
ditty stuff, and come on, yeah, it's a massive failure. Man,
It's like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah? But so the diddy thing.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I look at the A lot of people are looking
at though and being like, you know, you drop the
ball and the diddy thing right right right?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
I mean, and that would be one thing, but openly
and brazenly not complying with what your boss. Can you
imagine if if you know, Bob Pittman sent you an email,
Ross and he's like, I need you to send me something,
and you're just like, f Bob, how do you think
that'd go for you? I don't think i'd be here anymore? Yeah,

(27:29):
that's our CEO. So I went to the top of
the food chain there. So yeah, or if you send
them clearly not the right thing, and and and we're
you know, smug about it, dude, that's not going to
go well in almost any working environment, and especially when
there was no relationship there. You know, Pam Bondi's new
ag I doubt that ms Comy and Bondy had some

(27:52):
sort of relationship prior to this. What do you think
you're doing? Yesterday? Our boss sent me a thing I
had to voice for a back the school drive we're doing?
What if I just wrote back F Hugh Trevor? How
do you think that would go for me? I feel
like you would not go well, Although at first you'd
probably think I'm joking, because we at least have a relationship.

(28:13):
Bonnie and Komy didn't have that, and it's pretty clear
where miss Komy stood on stuff once you could start
reviewing actions. Plus, it's just the incestuous nature of where
all these names keep coming up in the circle, you know,
for a for a country of you know, three hundred

(28:34):
and thirty five million or whatever we are, and when
you get into the upper echelons of power and government
where you have all these names that keep coming up
over and over and over again, where you call it
the Bush Dynasty, the Clintons, the Komy's. That's crazy stuff. Man.
It's kind of like Hollywood a little where if you
look at a lot of the popular actors and actresses,

(28:56):
their parents were both Hollywood people, which look that gives you.
I'll give you a head start for sure, because now
they've got a rolodex. But in government it was never
meant to be that way. That the whole thing is
just strange. But I would remind CNN since they must
have run out of time and didn't bring this up.

(29:16):
Do you know the first thing Barack Obama did when
he was elected, as it pertains to US attorney's roster,
you know Bill Clinton did this as well. Do you
happen to know what both of them did on almost
the first week that they were president? They fired every
single US attorney, all of them, and then brought their
own people in. So I would I would point this

(29:41):
out all right, six forty nine hang on. So obviously,
you know in California, every time somebody gets picked up,
it turns out that they were you know, basically Ahava
Gandhi and you know, or just you know, a man
from Maryland or whatever it is, right, and see you
see those in one of the one of the crazier
stories was the woman by the name of Ulenia uh

(30:07):
called a Ron Perez, called he Ron, and she worked
at a jack in the box in downtown Los Angeles.
And according to witnesses. She was in the parking garage
I guess which is next to this, and an suv
rolled up and you know, mass men, nobody's identifying themselves.
They take her to custody and then they peel out

(30:29):
of there, and that story, in fact, that story got traction.
This lady's just trying to work at Jack in the
Box and the evil Ice people took her. Meanwhile, the
Justice Department responded to it like, we have no idea
what you're talking about. Clearly we didn't. And then the
story kind of changed that there were bounty hunters that
took her, who then turn her over to Ice, but
they were trying to get her to self deport and

(30:51):
of course a GoFundMe popped up and her daughter did it. Well,
guess what it was all stage, dude, I did not
see this. I saw literally in the last segment. I
was reading the transcript. I just watched the video. I'm
not gonna have ross rip the audio. I'll just give
you the gist of it. Laurence O'Donnell was in a

(31:12):
special place last night. The MSNBC host said that jd
Vance wants the Wall Street Journal to release the letter
right with the nude woman pictograph that they're claiming Trump wrote,
even though it's partially typed, and I've never seen him
draw a picture, let alone do a type letter. I'm

(31:34):
not talking about stuff he signs where his staff makes
it like a personal letter. That's just not his thing
and the wording doesn't even sound like him. That was
reportedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein to commemorate his fiftieth birthday
back in the early two thousands. But O'Donnell's position is
is that JD. Vance is pushing it because he's wanting
the coup Trump, So we're doing the coup again, although

(31:58):
I don't think he's gonna make himself feel mortal this
time like the last coup. Remember the last coup was JD.
Vance and it was a whole weepy video, some crazy
insane video where Vance and Elon Musk were gonna use
neuralink I guess to make themselves AI immortal or something
and then rule forever. So that was fun. But this

(32:20):
is a guy sitting on MSNBC who is convinced that JD.
Vance is trying to coop Trump, which I've never seen
any indication. It's clear that Vance and Trump have a
much better relationship than him and Pence did. And jd
Vance is all and whenever he talks about Trump is
clearly magnanimous. He's he's always praising him and and and look,

(32:43):
that's not an accident. I think that's that's what it's
kind of what you want as a VP, and so whatever,
And that's fine. Do you want to have your TDS
porn and Lawrence is your place to go watch it
and it makes you happy, then you do you. But
I just don't see that. And you can stay ross

(33:04):
Terris to coom me once a week telling me I'm
in peril. What is that? Nobody even knows what that is?
But he only wants it so that we all go home.
So that's slightly different. All right, So if you want to,
if you want to see the Laurence o'donald thing, I'll
let you figure that out for yourself. But right now
we need to we need to have a great I

(33:27):
ended up on another mailing list. Oh I hate this.
I hate it when these news these news sites. All right,
I'll spend a mile all day unsubscribing to all their
partner offers, which I clearly never opted in for uh,
about a third of you probably are as insane as

(33:47):
Laurence O'Donnell and probably should check yourself into some sort
of sanitarium. And I saw this yesterday and this sounds
like the worst idea ever, but maybe some of you
weirdos will think it's great. Are you ready for this shot?
A number of pet owners would date a humanized version
of their animal, So you're good. Think of your favorite pet,

(34:11):
and if that pet and that pet's personality were in
a human body, you would want to hook up with.
It is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. That's awful,
think of it. I mean, just think of all the
things your pet does that's insane, and then you put
that in a human that'd be a walking red flag.

(34:32):
You wouldn't want to be within a mile of that person. Ladies, right,
you got your dog? Oh, I make the perfect man,
all right till you shut up for dinner? And he
brought you a mutilated bird, not roses or a half
a lizard ross. And if your pets you want to
date if they were a human.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
I don't even understand how this question came to be,
Like how did this happen? Like how is this a subject.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Did someone pose it to the to the pet owners
or did the pill?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
It was met Life, the insurance company that literally did this,
did the polling on this, which is I don't know,
maybe they're offering some weird pet insurance or something. I yeah,
but like, do you imagine Elliott? No, a human.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Elliott is a complete lunatic, and be like, get out
of that box. Stop scratching those plastic you know, like, hey,
I just bought you a scrap scratch post. Why are
you messing around with the Amazon boxes?

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Old time? I don't.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, he's an a human eats plastic.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
You'd call for a welfare check on that person.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Even our like saintly cat eleanor even she's weird like
the No.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
This goes beyond just hey, that'd make an interesting human.
They asked them if they want to date them, which
is that's even weirder. Man. They asked would you date?
Would you date your pet if the pet it was
a human? And one roughly one third now breaks down
a little different by age groups Millennials thirty four percent,

(36:01):
Boomers and greatest thirty three percent, gen X thirty three percent.
Zoomer's only at twenty four percent because they don't have
the capacity to love yet. So I'm kidding, but yeah,
think of all the that's insane, that's weird. That's like
it's not quite you know, like beastie stuff. But it's

(36:23):
like the evolution of furry though. Yes, that that there
you go, that'd be a nicer way to say it now.
They asked other questions like, would you say, as a
pet owner that your pet offers better emotional support than
your partner? That's a way, that's a strange question. Do
you ross do you think your pet offers better emotional

(36:44):
support than your wife? I do not, okay. Seventy seven
percent of people said, yes, you got you probably work
on your relationships.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
That's because your relationship sucks, right, and like your pet
can't talk, right, your pet can't.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Give you a differentyer that Some people like that about pets.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, what I'm saying, like, you know, it's more it's
emotional comforting, yeah, because they can't speak to you and
disagree with you.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah, and it it and it's uh a subjugated relationship too,
because like you can starve it right, kind of needs
you for stuff.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
So I was thinking about like like with animals or pets.
That has to be so crazy because they don't understand
how lights and electricity work, or how anything because they're
a pet, right, and all they know is that when
you walk in with a flippier wrist, right, the lights
come on.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Like they think you're a god. Yeah, they think you're
magic man. Yeah, Oh what that guy? Oh my gosh,
that's amazing. Look you don't believe me, Just pretend throw
a ball and then do it every day, or get
a dog will fall for it every day. Or get
out a flashlight or a laser pointer, right, a laser pointer?
Oh my gosh, but yeah, I mean real. I don't

(37:50):
think people really thought this through with all the psychotic
crap their pets do. Man, if you put that in
a human, they a lot of them would be in jail. Right.
Can you imagine you humanize that dog who likes humping
everybody's leg and then he goes to Walmart, that dude's
and that dude's in the poke in five minutes, Well
what happened? We found him on Aisle six humping a

(38:10):
woman's leg. Go to go straight to jail? All right?
Let me ask any of you out there if your
pet was a human, you'd wanna, you know, get with it.
You think that's a good idea, go ahead. I won't judge.
I just want to hear your story. I'll be nice
to you. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight

(38:32):
seven four. Why do you send me your pet picks
over and over again? I know you love your pets. Boston.
I've seen Boston Paul's damn dog more than a picture
of Boston Paul. He loves sending pictures of that. What
about Isabelle your chihaha? You're neurotic Chihuahua. I'd only let
you touch it otherwise it was a full weapons grade

(38:52):
for everybody else. Do you think that would make a
good human? Russ? That dog Isabe would stab everybody. I
had a dog that kept eating porcupines. That you don't
put that in a human body. Oh, Donna's got that
crazy ass cat. That thing would probably be a serial killer.

(39:13):
From every photo I've seen of it, it's either on
meth or just satanic. I don't know, God help us
if that thing's ever a human. But yeah, third of you,
you need some clinic. You need to touch grass and
then go over to the psychiatrist's office. They even quote,
a woman in this article, Elsie, who's forty four, said, quote,
instead of giving my husband Alex kisses, I wake up

(39:35):
and give my dog all my kisses, said Elsie, a
forty four year old divorce attorney from New Jersey. Well
that's gonna come in handy. I suspect your profession there,
ma'am give her husband kisses? What are you doing? She says?
With pets, there's nothing like the affection and loyalty. Yeah, no, no, no,

(39:59):
I got that, and that's all great, one hundred percent.
But but you don't want your pet as a human
because again, you walk into a room and some human
is eating their own feces, You're gonna have a problem
with that. You're not gonna want to date him.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
I was, I mean, I was in the phone, maybe
said it. But also like, you know, you turn around
and your new girlfriend or boyfriend is on the kitchen
table cleaning themselves right, like what's going on here?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
It kind of impressed actually, like are you a gymnast?
What do you eat the entire wheel of cheese right now?
What's going on here?

Speaker 4 (40:42):
No?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I said, If you go in the room and then
like you're your your boyfriend or girlfriends eating their own feces, Like,
I feel like that's gonna be a deal breaker. Uh,
so many problems, Yes, Janet, what's up.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
About the human pett thoughts? First thought is O and
G someone please go get Peter.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:08):
Second thought is I bet at least seventy five percent
of not ninety percent of those people who want to
marry their human pets would be left by their human
pets within a week or into.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
A month, especially there were cats. You know, cats are right,
I'm gonna pretend you don't exist. So, yeah, these people
are delusional even if they're there, we go sorry to
hit the button. Yeah, you guys clearly didn't think this out.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
You make your pet into like human form, And it's
finally like, yes, I can run out of this house.
Now i can unlock the door and leave because I've
been trying to get out there forever.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I might have a thumbnail, which is amazing.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
Now you're putting up pictures on light poles of the
you know, I'm missing my boyfriend ran away and you're like, please,
reward given, and yeah, yeah, every time he tries to
get out of the house, I'm so lucky. He's dumb.
Because he wants to get out. So like we'll be
moving boxes in an outer I'll be leaving in the morning,
and he jumps out right and he flops out and
he gets in the front en and he's like hot. He
gets out there, and then he's so overwhelmed by the world.

(42:13):
He just looks around. He's like, oh to do and
then he just stops and you pick him up, his
big ass up, and you put him back in the house.
But then he could just like take off because he's
a human with legs.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
One day. Well that's the other thing too. Now he's
a human with legs, what does he do walks right
in front of a car? And now somebody, now somebody's
got that on their conscience. Yeah, this is this is
one awful idea right here, man. And again I'm glad
people like their pets and it's a fun thought exercise.

(42:44):
But I don't think you actually thought about it all
the thing, For all the reasons I just mentioned, he
gave this no thought. You just went with an emotional answer.
And I really, really really would suggest you think otherwise.
All right, seven eighteen phone number eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four If you guys went to
weigh in on the weird pet thing. That's fine, go

(43:06):
ahead and do that, but just think about it before
you do, really think about it. All right, I will
have to address the cold play thing. I'll explain what
that is if you don't know. And I don't know
how I feel about this guy. So there's a guy
in Milwaukee. You seven year old son was kidnapped a gunpoint,

(43:29):
and his reaction has people discussing this. We'll say, but
he does offer a reason for it. I just don't
know if that's a good reason. I'll give you the
whole story and we'll get your calls coming up next
case O Day radio program. If you made your pet
a human, they would have no marketable skills. Really, that's true.

(43:51):
Nobody's paying somebody who can point at a bush and tell
you there's a burden there, which is great if you're
a dog, but you know it's entry level pull tree
plant stuff. So nobody thought this through. That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying here, All right, let's see here

(44:12):
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four
This story out of Milwaukee. Footage obtained by WISN Television
shows a seven year old boy riding his bike near
his Milwaukee home. I guess one of the neighbors had
ring cams or whatever. While a white jeep circles back

(44:33):
around and then eventually pulls, blocking the family's driveway. Two
people jump out of the vehicle. They grabbed the seven
year old. This kid's name is Jamal White. He's Jamal Junior.
His dad's name is also Jamal Jamal White. And dad's
out there and when they get out to grab the kid,
Dad runs away. Now they did have a gun. They

(44:55):
were brandishing a firearm. He runs into the house and
then all the son after they they've now absconded with
the seven year old. You see dad come running out
of the house and all he does is slam his
fists on the trunk of his car and frustration. So
some are wondering why that reaction. Now here is his

(45:15):
Here is his reasoning. He said, uh, which which by
the way, doesn't solve this. He said, hell yeah, I ran.
He wrote this on Facebook. Uh, because people are ripping them.
They like, how do you let your How do you
sit there and watch your son getting kidnapped and run away?
Even if they have a gun. I know everyone thinks
that they know what they do in that situation, and

(45:36):
it probably you know, I understand that maybe you probably would.
But but his his argument is I thought they were
just trying to rob me, not take my damn baby.
He said, Okay, I have a question, though, regardless of
whether you thought they were kidnapping your son, there's still
two guys with a gun out there, and you ran
away and left your son with the gunman, even if

(45:58):
you didn't think they were there at a kidnap him,
and you thought they were actually there to rob you. Guys. Now,
that's a really easy way to rob you, isn't it.
You go in the house, lock the door, and I'm
standing on the front porch with a gun to your
kid's head. You're gonna open the door, aren't you? But
I don't have kids, so I don't know. The Sesame

(46:19):
Street update after the defunding happened.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Oh yeah, we're getting words to everybody on Sesame Street
is dead. Oh no, they finally got the big They
didn't make it through the night man.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
That is unfortunate that his account alive, so he can
tell us how many people are desert him too dead.
Oh no, that's too bad. Hey. All right, so here,
all right, let me ask you a question. Since we're
on muppets. If I could make one muppet a human
and you could date it, which muppet would it be? No?
Come on, this is the new trend in surveys, this
is what we do. Nope, you know what. Come on, man,

(46:52):
you gotta have a favorite muppet.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
The only female muppet I can't think of, and she's
not on Sesame Street. Right, it's Miss Piggy.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, that's the only one to go. Oh man, that'd
be awful. Can you imagine? No, nobody wants to date that.
They got other muppets. They got the Valley Girl muppet
that the Count's always hitting on. And they added I
went and look this up. They've added a ton of
female muppets over the last like ten years. This girl
woke stuff.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
And a lot of them are, aren't They like more
like kiddish like childish?

Speaker 8 (47:20):
Like?

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (47:20):
So zou Zu is a six year old muppet from
South Africa full of great ideas. Tuktouki is a five
year old from Bangladesh who enjoys reading and playing cricket.
They got an Indian muppet. They got Rosita who's a
bilingual muppet who encourages girls pursuit passions and lose and

(47:40):
learn new languages. Yeah, you're right, really going back to
like actually, when I was remember there's Miss Piggy, but
on Sesme Street there was the one who the count
hit on that's Janis. I look that up and the
I think the chicken is a mupp it to the
Gonzo Dates, there is a female, but it's also a chicken.

(48:05):
But if we're humanizing all of them, I guess that's
an option for you.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
You know what the funny thing is, Like when we
were kids, you would watch a lot of like Sesame Street.
Everybody watched Sesame Street because that was like the Yeah,
those were like the educational shows. When Lincoln was little,
we didn't watch much much Sesame Street because every show
is like is educational now, like every show And Nick Junior,
like we've talked about this before we were kids.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
He had like you know, G I.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Joe and ThunderCats, which had yeah but that's about it,
and Mask and Voltron and all these shows, and now
all the shows for kids are super educational. It's all
about numbers and counting and so you don't have to
watch PBS and Sesame Street as much as you used to, Like,
we really didn't watch much when he was little, a
lot of Nick Junior. But that's about it.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Well, but I think that that I honestly, I don't
even know that I blame Maybe I brought this up
last time we talked to I don't know that I'd
blame the people putting the shows together. I think because
it's marketing, right. It's like, do you remember when everything
was a carb praise, when Atkins was first a thing,
and every food brand would run ads. We only well,
remember all the beer companies are running ads only seven carbs,

(49:13):
only three carbs, only five carbs, Like they don't want
to do that. That's a horrible way to market beer.
But that's what the audience wanted. I think with parents,
you know, there was this there was this growing trend
to monitor your kid's screen time. And I I you know,
and if you're not educational, or at least I have
the facade of being educational, then maybe parents are like, well,
that's not going to be included in my kid's screen time.

(49:35):
So but if you're educational, then parents can tell themselves
that it's okay that you're sticking an iPad in Jimmy's
hand because he's watching educationals. I hear you.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
But counterpoint, being a kid in the eighties with a
big old bowl of mister t series was the best
watching he man, it was incredible during Saturday.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Juiced up on your Flintstone vitamins. Yes, yeah, that was
the other thing they might now they remember that, remember
all that they would market those vitamins to kids. They
were literally selling drugs to kids. There are always the Flintstones.
You remember the song. I'm not going to sing it
because it'd be horrible, but I remember the Flintstones jingle man,

(50:12):
and everybody had the Flintstones vitamins. But yeah, no, that
those were the days. Man. Getting up on Saturday morning
knowing that you are going to accomplish nothing for the
next four hours and it's going to be amazing was great, right.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
And also they threw in the wrestling during that time
period too. Yeah, man, you watch wrestling like Saturday or Sundays?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Did they? Yeah? You did? Yeah? Really, we never really
watched wrestling when I was a kid if there was
like a big event on because my uncle Phil liked it.
But yeah, yeah, I just said Saturdays was was elite,
and it was, and it was elite because that's where
that's where you had to go, right It's that's the
other thing.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
That's what I'm saying. That's when the cartoons were on.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Right now, right now, there's no TVO, there's no you
might be running a VHS. My dad had a very serious,
complex system of taping shows. We had two VCRs and
they all are on timers and if you touched one,
God help you.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
It's sort of like how back then, like you didn't
have the twenty four hour news cycles, so you would
sit down and you would watch the news. Well, back
then you didn't have cartoons and a loop for kids
all day like on Nicktoony or on Disney whatever, right,
you know, so it's different. Saturday was your cartoon day.
In fact, for the longest time as a kid, I
thought that Saturday was called cartoon day. I was unaware,
was it not. I remember walking down the stairs at

(51:28):
Hamilton Elementary with my speech therapists. I had a speech
therapist because I couldn't say words right, and her name
was Miss Rickey, and Miss Ricky was like, so what
are you what are your plans for the weekend. I'm like, well,
I can't wait for cartoon Day. And she goes, well,
what is the real name of cartoon Day? And this
is like maybe kindergarten. Like first guy was like, I
don't know, that sounds like Arick's what I mean. Is
it Saturday, it's cartoon Day?

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't want to call it Saturday.
It's cartoon Day. Oh man. Yeah. And then and then
they started putting them elsewhere, and now you can watch
one to man and like that. You'll never you'll never
have the experience. If you're listening to me right now
and you are under the age of probably what thirty five,
you just don't know.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
It was just a magical time.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
It really was.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Well I feel so blessed to be able to like
to I was, you know, grew up in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
I really did. There was some conflict, but being the
oldest I generally won the conflict because there were a
couple times where there was something on one channel one
on the other. And my little brother was always a contrarian,
but he also was my little brother.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
So think about that first ten years of your life
were the eighties, and like the second half right, growing
them into a you know, teenager into adulthood was the nineties.
You can't beat it. You can't beat that era. You
really can't. Back to back champions right there, man. And
think about this, how many presidents in our lifetime on
the right have said they were going to murder and
kill Big Bird, and Trump finally did it.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Well, not just presidents, people running from ever Romney was
going to right, I know, they literally did a whole thing.
Big Bird, some dude a big Bird costumes show up
and start screaming at him in an event yep, So
I mean clearly pleading for his life.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
And just for clarity, if there's any children listening, we're kidding.
They're fine.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
Yeah. And by the way, they're going to be fine.
You know why because they cash flow to the point
where Sesme Street is not even tied in with that.
And that's mostly say they can maintain their all their
revenue and they don't have to share it with people,
so which I don't begrudge in that. That's fine, but
like understand what you're that's why all these like the
Robert Reich video earlier this week with Elmo, like the

(53:30):
that's not the funding is not even impacted. This is
how they think. By the way, I want to be
very clear, because they keep they always throw this number
out to where they're like, well, the programming, it's a
very small sliver. Here's where. And you can decide because
this is legitimately is a thing that is probably going
to happen, and how they choose to deal with it
will be up to them. But it is more impactful
than just one percent or one and a half percent

(53:51):
or whatever that number is. Where most of that funding
goes is not necessarily the production of the shows. It
goes to the smaller member stations, right. So it's like, look,
if you're in New York, it's really easy to fundraise.
It's New York. You're surrounded by moonbats. They'll send you
money l a those kinds of places. But if you're

(54:12):
a smaller one Vernamore Ruurle area, there's probably you're probably
being subsidized more with some of that federal government funding
as well as other subsidizing funding. And so the question
will become do the and this is this would be
the great big commy test for them. Do the bigger
stations that are swimming in cash, do they then put

(54:36):
something together to supplement their smaller stations, or do they
simply attempt to expand their reach on a regional basis,
which you know some will see is a little self serving,
but it might be a better financial decision for the
larger entity. And keep in mind too that these the
NPR doesn't own all these stations in Minnesota. Public broadcast

(55:00):
and is not owned by NPR. It's a private group.
They actually owned several of the different public broadcasting they're
private groups. So and that's how it is for most places.
So that is that's where you'll see the impact, how
they choose to deal with it'll be interesting. All right,
Race Stagic is he ready to go? Speaking of impact?
All right? You ready? You get your squeeze box? Oh yeah,

(55:24):
I do.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
We have to do it this hour.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
You want to do next hour? This hour? Because I
got a business report after and bulls theme.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Uh no, I didn't get anything.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
So hold on, I'm gonna mute you guys. Okay, oh
we've been muted.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Hold on, I'm gonna mute so I can get all
this and I don't make a long noise.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Give me. I should have say you're a reminder, but yeah,
no problem I thought you had a calendar, so no, no, yes,
Oh the anticipation is Michael Jordan coming out? Or is
Race st Agic grabbing a accordion? You don't know. We'll
find out in the moment.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Topefully, man, look at this the anticipation at guard six.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
This is what everyone tuned in for.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
How was how tall was were at guard? Eight foot two?

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Eight foot two?

Speaker 8 (56:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (56:15):
He was six fourteen six fourteen. Yeah, yeah, well I.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Didn't come up with that. I mean I didn't have to.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Maybe find it the Bulls, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Let me second, maybe you know what we were just playing,
you know from the classic nineties when they would intro
the Chicago Bulls remember this, we're here.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
And they do all the intros and Jordan to come
out last and everyone give us absolutely eight craps Chicago
Bulls theme saush read.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
The page is blank, which is hilarious.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
What ages blank?

Speaker 3 (57:00):
For the actual music the theory series Chuckaho Go Bulls
theme song.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
If you pull this off, legend at this point, I
will nominate you for the weather Man fame or whatever.
They have one of those. They should have one of those.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
No, No, I don't think that sounds like it the
Chicago Bulls theme song. That doesn't look like I.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Believe any right, I believe you believe Jordan just watching

(57:59):
like that. Yeah, yeah, after he pulled off that rude
last week. I mean it's important.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
But yeah, so we have to get better coordinated, right,
so I did.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Yeah, that's fine, that's on me.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
From now on, I will take on the responsibility.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
I will send you Russ never wants to take on responsibility.
It's a fantastic bit and I will encourage it. Yeah.
So so next week Ross is going to pick his
favorite wrestling walk on.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
If you give me a couple of days, I can
at least get the cores part. Hold on him taking
this thing off, the cores part of it, and we'll
tangled and you know, the left hands a little harder one.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
At least you can get the cores part. But I did.
Uh yeah, So that so two for two, Like I
knew what you were playing and you got the rude.
So like this is that we're on a theme here? Yeah?
But all right, well, I guess I should do the
weather thing.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Maybe I don't know, Yeah, a little bit, he'd advise,
where's triangle to the west of the triad? No there's
some flood watches north to for some northern counties, some
more storms. The next few days hot, humid, upper raties
load to mid nineties heat into season one hundred and five.
Probably gonna be the same through the weekend. We'll watch
out for the flooding, especially north up in the Virginia
border where we could see some more flooding, maybe some

(59:23):
flash flooding. So that's gonna be the forecast the next
couple of days.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
All right, all right, Ac Cordyon King, we'll talk to
you in the next hour.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
It's gonna get better.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
I promise. No, you killed it. All right, it is
seven forty eight. We will be right back hanging. You'd
have to have been dead to not see the video yesterday,
but I will mention it. So you have this guy
who's the CEO of Astronomer. I'm not even super familiar
with the company, and he has had a cold Play concert,

(59:52):
not with his spouse but his HR director and I
think one of her underlings, which is how they kind
of sold this is a work trip. And and they
cut the fan cam over to them, and she's in
front of him. He's got his arm draped around her.
It's very clear that it's very intimate, and all of
a sudden when they realize that they're the ones now

(01:00:13):
on the jumbo tron or the screen off the stage
there and and Chris Martin, the lead singer, is literally
you know, talking about him. Uh that everyone can see that. Yeah,
oh look at these all right?

Speaker 9 (01:00:28):
Oh what.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Either fan? That this great shut Well you might have
nailed the first one. Can you imagine too, you're this
they're both married, I guess, but uh, this guy's wife
has already like removed there's his last name from her
social media. But just imagine, like you're the spouse, right,
You're you're at home, taking care of the family, doing
whatever your spouse has to go on a oh I

(01:00:51):
got a business event I got to go to. You
wouldn't like it anyway, and then you you just you're like,
all right, well, I'll just stay at home. And then
you're on social media and you find out your spouse
is a Coldplay fan. Get Ross right? Ross? Uh, but
yeah she is. Uh, I'm sure she's about to get paid.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
But did you see her Facebook page? Like she woke
up in the morning and like everybody telling her, like
what happened in this concert, and it's a matter of
and and pictures of her. She seems like a like
she's a teacher in some capacity.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
That's yeah, yeah, like sweet woman's yeah. Well right now
she got to go through this man, all right, Jamal?
Real quick? I got like two minutes.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
What's up, kase you for? I was born in seventy five,
so I caught the seventies cartoon See People, and we
had super Friends when you had sight Clops with the
Afro like how do you get the metal out of Afro?
But I don't care, but it's good. And then we
had we had Educational Team and the set in the
Saturday morning that they played all the way up junckson

(01:01:53):
Johnson was your function cla word right remember? And oh
yeah yeah? And of course I'm just a Beal, Yes,
I'm only a be and I'm serious.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
You under you also understand it, Jamal. So I had
somebody write me, uh it wasn't mean. He's like, bro,
I'm gonna turn I turned thirty now I turned thirty
next year and we had cartoons. I don't know what
you to were talking about? What you don't understand, sir?
And I'm not saying this would be mean is the
conditions don't exist to recreate what Jamal's generation and my

(01:02:27):
generation had to go through because you can't rete him
because now things are instantaneous.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
No, when you can get everything undemanded, loses the magic
like you had to sit down there and wait and
now everything Like remember when Wizard of Oz was like
a big thing every single year because it came out
once and now it's now it's whatever you want to
watch it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Fourth Street, you knew what it was going to be
on the Twilight Zone Marathon was I would make sure
all my chores were done. That was appointment for me
as a kid. And uh, it is Friday, so you
know what that means. Back from his he went to
fight communism or something last week? Is Pete Calender? How
you doing, Pete yo?

Speaker 8 (01:03:01):
I'm doing well. How are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
Uh? Very good? I don't remember where you went fighting communism?
Is probably acting New York. Okay, Well, a lot of
comedies up there, and one of them might be the.

Speaker 8 (01:03:10):
Mayor soon so indeed, or as I call it, show prep,
I mean some.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Of these guys. The problem is, and I think I
think we talked about this. The problem is that all
the comedy stuff he's going to do will then drive
people to come here, run, you know, and then vote
for stupid stuff or probably re elect that Tijuana or
Tijuana Chick City council lady who saw Juanna Brown.

Speaker 8 (01:03:36):
Yeah, she filed for re election for Charlotte City Council
despite her looming or well, her existing indictment and her
looming trial.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Yeah, for corruption. Yeah, so she's a multitasker. That's good.

Speaker 8 (01:03:52):
Yeah, once again, show prep, show prep.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah. All right. Do you think Trump draws
doodles and types things out and then writes on them?
Because this Wall Street Journal story is crazy. By the way,
Lawrence O'Donnell thinks that's jd Vance is staging a coup
with it.

Speaker 8 (01:04:10):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:04:12):
Well so all right, so all of this, all of
this stuff really boils down to people's uh conceived ideas
of who Jeffrey Epstein was and what he was doing. Right. Uh,
we know about obviously the uh, the human trafficking, the
underage girls and all of that stuff that was adjudicated

(01:04:34):
proven in court. So that's pretty well understood.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
The question in that documentary where the girl is outlining
literally where they're recruiting these girls from like the poor
part of Palm Beach to come do the massage thing
at the house. It's very detailed and I would encourage
people to watch it.

Speaker 8 (01:04:48):
So, right, so there's no doubt the guy was, you know,
was a perv and was engaged in this, uh, this
disgusting behavior and the legal behavior. The question then, is
he hobnobbed with all of these powerful people from all
over the world, and were their connections to those activities,

(01:05:09):
the illegal activities and the powerful people right, were they
engaged in it? Was it some sort of intelligence operation?
Was he running a honeypot trap for extortion purposes and
all of that? And I don't know if any of
that is true. It could be, could not be. I
don't know. There's another angle to this that Mike Ben's

(01:05:31):
outlined and has been outlining. He's a former State Department
guy who runs a podcast now and he's done really
good work on this and detailing how he you know,
the term asset has been used, and he rejects that
term for Jeffrey Ebstein. He says it's more likely that
he was essentially a cutout. He was a finance guy,

(01:05:55):
and so a lot of governments when and their intelligence
agencies when they don't want their fingerprints on anything, but
they need to move money around. Then you use these
financiers and they, you know, they go to their contacts,
they collect a bunch of money, and then they hand
the money off to whatever you know outfit needs it

(01:06:17):
in order to engage in nefarious state craft.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Let's see. And it's not just finance they they use.
And we know that the government uses these things. And
a good example is that Tom Cruise Money, a movie
that came out with American made where he's I forget
the pilot's name, like that guy was essentially what you're
talking about. He was a cutout to make this. In
this case, the transfer was weapons to the uh UH

(01:06:43):
to the Nicaraguan freedom fighters there and uh and then
training in Arkansas where they did that. That's all real,
and then they just looked the other way while he
was the return flight smuggling cocaine. The whole thing was crazy,
but it happened. It happened because they don't want their fingerprints.

Speaker 8 (01:06:59):
On it, right, and you don't want to You don't
want to spoil relations with allies that don't want you
doing a particular operation and such. In fact, there was
a guy I believe he was a former he was
an Epstein client or he worked with Epstein and the guys,
and this was years ago, and that guy was tied
to a round contra very similar kind of a deal.

(01:07:19):
And so when you look at all of these types
of projects that governments engage in, these off book types
of projects, yeah, they don't they're dealing with nefarious people.
They don't want to know. They're not going to prosecute,
they're not going to do anything about those things if
they are even aware of some of that stuff, and
they probably were aware of some of it, but I

(01:07:41):
don't know, and so they but they use the cutout
for that one purpose. And if that's what Epstein was doing,
then it makes sense that you've got governments that don't
want this stuff, whatever the stuff, whatever the files are,
they don't want that stuff to be exposed because it
jeppardes uh, you know, assets, it jeopardizes past projects that

(01:08:04):
they ran, current projects, whatever, and it it has it
has the potential to blow up. And so that's one
component of all of this. The other component is that
you've got this you know, influencer wing in the Republican
Maga land world, and they have been you know, beating
the drum on the Epstein files released them. Trump played

(01:08:25):
into that, leaned into that cash Patel did, Dan Bongino did.
So they've been promising all of this stuff. Then of
course Pam Bondi comes out gives them the binder, makes
them look like fools. So now they're man at Pam Bondi.
Pambondi is man at Dan Bongino and vice versa. So
there's all this fighting and then instept the the Rick
Wilson types, the Lincoln project, the anti Trumpers, the never

(01:08:47):
Trump you know, quote unquote repon that are you know,
in common cause with Democrats and media. But I repeat myself,
and they they have now seen this as an opportunity
to hurt Trump and fracture the mega base. So they
are all in on Epstein's stuff now in a way
that I haven't seen since the Steele dots eight.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
And that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Yeah, I want to pause here too, because like you've
arrived really where I was at just a couple of
days ago, because because but it's also a gamble. But
then it tells me maybe they kind of know what's there,
have you do you know about the switcheroo theory. You've
probably seen some of this where one of the ways
that people are justified by the way his poll numbers

(01:09:32):
weren't hurt even though he's been beating the crap out
of his base for two days. That's not polling yesterday
and it's he's up. So I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 8 (01:09:39):
But no, the people, I will say, the people that
I get messages from demanding I talk about the Epstein
files on the show. They're from the left, Like I'm
not getting that from MAGA supporters. They're telling me move on.
They're like some of them, yeah, some of them. But
a lot of this is driven by the mega influencer
world right, the online p people that have made a

(01:10:00):
big deal about this story for a very long time,
spinning yarns and getting clicks and all of that, and
so they can't let the story go. And so there
is that's their incentive. Now that's not to say again
that they're some of the theories may not be correct.
They're very well might be a lot of this evidence
that is being suppressed, Like I said, for the very
reasons that Epstein was a useful cutout for all of

(01:10:24):
these off book operations.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
No, no, because so this theory goes further, and the
theory is and then this was pre letter. But I
was watching some of this.

Speaker 5 (01:10:32):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
And by the way, most of those influencers I have
blocked because a lot of them are also shilling soda,
and I blocked everyone who was doing that. I just don't.
But going back to the switcheroo, basically, their theory is
that the Biden administration, because you know, he's not running stuff.
Basically the three letter agencies are running themselves. That they
if in fact any of that was true, they would

(01:10:54):
have used that opportunity to purge that information or right
or mocked something up and inserted as part of the record,
like maybe a letter from Trump is part of a
bound edition of letters for the fiftieth birthday, even though
nothing in that letter reminds me of anything. I've seen
Trump write praise words that way, and I've sure never

(01:11:15):
seen him doodle that you know who is an artists Hunter.
That would be an amazing story if Hunter wrote it.

Speaker 8 (01:11:23):
So yeah, no, that's true. But so I will say
so I take I separate these the two components of
the letter. The birthday wishes whatever. So there's the poem,
if you could even call it a poem. But there's
the text, and then there's the doodle. Right. The text,
I agree, that is not in his That is not

(01:11:43):
in his voice. I don't see that as I don't
read it as anything that I would ever imagine coming
out of Donald Trump's mouth or brain. It just does
not It doesn't track. That's not to say he didn't
do it, or maybe he had an assistant do it
or something. I don't know, because it was it was
a birthday gift and maxwell and remember this occurred long
before any of the charges wherever brought against epscen So

(01:12:07):
at this time, in like two thousand and three, this
stuff was not in the news. Nobody knew about this stuff.
You could, you know, lead, you could believe that people
that had just met this guy who was, you know,
meeting all of the powerful people all over the world,
that he was just another guy in that orbit and
they would hang out, they would party, whatever, But they

(01:12:27):
never saw any of this stuff that he was doing
that was illegal. So when his assistant says, hey, I'm
putting together this birthday book, yeah, sure, I'll have my assistant,
you know, write up a poem or do something whatever.
And so it's possible that that that is the way
that occurred, and why Trump is saying that's not those
are my words. Now the question of whether he doodles,

(01:12:47):
he said, you know, I don't draw like that, but
he has, right, they've now come forward with this. People
are like, oh, he used to do a doodle for
some charity event every year, and they would auction the
doodles off. But the noodle quote unquote that he would
make for this charity event was like these rough drawings
of buildings and then he would sign his name with

(01:13:09):
the big, you know, sharpie marker.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
So it wasn't Women's Buby Care for a signature. Because
that's what we're talking about, right, that that in the
line happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.
Of course, they're trying to hang him on that line, right.

Speaker 8 (01:13:23):
So it's possible that that he had somebody on his
staff write something that was sent over. It's possible he
did it as well. Maybe he doesn't remember. I don't know.
Is that a smoking gun here that he knew all
about Epstein's illegal activities. No, it doesn't and and you
know Trump is denying it. But it is possible also

(01:13:45):
that they stuck something into the files about this. I
don't know because they didn't produce any of this material
for years, which is really really weird that if you
know this existential threat to demopasse, and you know this
Hitler and waiting worse than Hitler guy is about to
take over, that to the point where you're fabricating to
steal dossier and such, Why why would you not have

(01:14:08):
put out all of this Epstein stuff years ago, a
decade ago? Right, that's what doesn't track either.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Yeah, I'm with you there one hundred percent, but it
may not matter anymore because he's going to die soon
because he has not he doesn't even have full varicos
veins he has like the preliminary thing.

Speaker 8 (01:14:28):
I just want to give a shout out to all
of the media that now finally can spot some medical maladies,
even the most hard to spot stuff like a swollen
ankle or discolored hand that just you see, you see,

(01:14:48):
like just two inches below the cuff line, like that
is some really great journalisming. Uh, finally we've got a
Washington White House Press Corps that is able to to
spot some medical infirmities when they are not quite as
obvious as Joe Biden's.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Yeah, well, I mean it's a it's apparently a big,
big deal, except it's not if you right look it up,
and it's very common among people over the age of
seventy and even younger than that. But you know, maybe
they learned their lessons, so now we're seeing a new
and improved type of scribes there.

Speaker 8 (01:15:25):
So yeah, my only fear is that they will completely
forget how to do this kind of malady spotting. If
a Democrat is in the White House again.

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
Oh well, you know, you got to practice. Got to
stay up today, man, you want to see real carnage?
Are her? We learned this morning all the muppets are dead,
so they finally got them.

Speaker 8 (01:15:46):
Thank god.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
He was going to kill Big Bird, but apparently somebody
did it. You know what this is is the muppets
don't They don't. They don't receive it as funny because
they cash flow and then they privatize so they keep
all their revenue.

Speaker 8 (01:16:00):
Yeah, and that's right. The height of the irony on
the whole Mitt Romney's going to kill Big Bird was
that as soon as that election was over the Sesame
Street you know, went to HBO, right like that. So
that was under Obama. So they made this big deal
about killing off Big Bird. And you know, here's the thing, NPR,
PBS they can keep churning out whatever slop they want

(01:16:22):
to churn out. They can have all the bias in
the world that they want. I don't care about the
programming in that regard. What I care about is the funding.
You don't get to use taxpayer money to fund these
media platforms anymore. And this has been a hallmark of
Republican and conservative philosophy for decades, my entire life, that

(01:16:46):
we have been saying, defund NPR, it shouldn't get taxpayer dollars.
And now what's amazing is to see all of these
you know, never Trump so called conservatives that are you know,
lamenting the loss of funding for NPR, where like, wait
a minute, were you just lying for the last thirty years.
But it shows you why things would not advance for

(01:17:06):
conservatives is that you get people that get up there
and they say the things that conservatives believe, and you
think that they believe it too, and then they don't.
They don't do it when they have the chance.

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
Well, the heavy lift is you know, is what they'll say. Well,
you know, it's just we we got to keep the
powder dry. We need it for more important things. Or
you could just lose your mind and turn into Tom
Tillis and just start voting against everything just out of spite.
Yeah yeah, yeah, but no, no, no, because we work

(01:17:39):
in an environment where ratings matter. And don't get me wrong,
the public I don't look at the Charlotte numbers, but
public radio does very well in Raleigh. Doesn't do as
well in the Triad, but in Raleigh it's I'm constantly
competing for top spots with them. And you know, so
people will say, well, you guys are just bitter. Well,
how would you like it if in your industry you
had to compete against the government too.

Speaker 8 (01:18:01):
Right, So yeah, and they were taking your money to
compete against you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
And by the way, and then they have equipment that
looks like the Starship Enterprise and oh yeah, I have
to knock my my microphone and make it work sometimes,
so right, maybe not bad, but no, there's consequences.

Speaker 8 (01:18:18):
Yeah, yeah, I think we can acknowledge that we may
not have the softest shoulders upon which the libs will cry.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
On this one. No, and and Cole Beart's figuring it
out right now. His rating has been dog crap. They're
paying of fifteen million year. Jimmy Kimmel's crying the blues
because I think he realizes he might be next because
he was advocating for Tesla burnings. But this is the
real world, kids, And look, I think for the most part,
MPR and PBS are going to be just fine. Pause, great,

(01:18:46):
they'll fundraise just fine. Our IDP A bunch we didn't
get too, but it's Friday, so whatever, We'll just do
our thing and we'll chat with you next week, sir.
Appreciate it, all right, brother, Yeah, I have a great weekend.
Yeah you too. There you go, Pete Calendar joining us
here on the CaCO Day radio program. All right, we
got another half hour ago, lots to get into. Wait

(01:19:09):
to hear this audio from Scott McFarlane. I was just
gonna play this for Pete, but I ran out of time,
so we'll do it for you coming up next. Here's
a surefire way to make everyone think you're a giant
d bag. One of the Backstreet Boys has filed a
lawsuit against which county? Is this in Florida? Hold on,
just a second, Walton County, all right? Now, I don't now,

(01:19:36):
I can't remember. So what's the big city? What's the
Florida community in Walton County? Hang on, I don't know
my Florida County. I mean, I know the big ones,
but I don't know that one. Alright. Surveyces Destin. Oh okay,
so these are this is Deston, all right. So one
of the backstory boys filed a lawsuit against Florida Sheriffs

(01:19:57):
of the Walton County Sheriff's Office because the poores are
trespassing on his private beachfront. Basically, they you know, people
walk along the beach and they keep walking and then
now they're I guess, I guess he owns the sand
there or something. I don't know. Let's see. He says

(01:20:18):
that he's attempted to deter people from entering his beachfront
by placing no trespassing signs and marking the property with chairs,
small tables, and umbrellas. However, you know, you can only
do that so much because you can't just leave it
out there, because tides are a thing. So, yeah, believe
it or not, everyone now thinks he's an a hole.

(01:20:40):
It's Brian Latrelle too.

Speaker 8 (01:20:43):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
What's your opinion of latrel.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
That's shocking because he's supposed to be like the like
the normal one, like the nice one, right, well, I
guess maybe the nice one was Howie, but like Brian's
supposed to be like the the middle of the road
vanilla guy.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
Yeah, who's the evil one?

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
We agree on this, the bad boy of the group.
And I know because I did Top forty forever. The
bad boy of the group was aj Yes, yeah, MacLean
or whatever is yeah yeah, but he also like he
I don't know that he's an a hole, but that's
just I think he turned it around. He's a recovering alcoholics,
so he has some issues. So I think he's like
in a better place now. But back in the day

(01:21:17):
he was supposed to be the bad boy of the group.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
He's not screaming at couples going for a walk on
the beach at at sunset sundown, and apparently he's he's
harassed so many people that he In the lawsuit, he
says that there are some people that he yelled at
and now they walk through his beach every day. And
will yell at him to let them know that they're
walking through the beach. So yeah, man, now the problem

(01:21:45):
is you're you're I don't know what the ownership of
how it works down there. If they're up on his
property property, I'm with them, but people get really touchy
when you say that you own the beach, which may
or may not be the case as it works under
Florida lot I don't know. I know in California you
can't do it. It's a constant thing. They had some
billionaire who basically blocked beach access and was just like,

(01:22:07):
I'm a billionaire. Keep finding me. I'll just pay it,
like it's a nasty bit of business. But yeah, man,
he's he's still in the sheriff for not doing his job,
which again I don't know the rules down there. But
now all your neighbors and and now the rest of
the world now thinks you're you're a big jerk, So
there you go. All right. Couple other things. This audio

(01:22:31):
is mind boggling. So this is Scott McFarlane, not the
not that mcfarran, not family guy, but the reporter, and
he is who is that Chuck Todd is I think
it's Chuck Todd is interviewing him right on his podcast,
and he confides in Todd that he was at the

(01:22:51):
He was at the rally, the Trump rally where Trump
was shot or fell down, if you believe CNN's recording
initial reporting, and the firefighter was killed and all of that.
He was right there. And he talks about how it
emotionally affected him, and at one point he starts talking
about having PTSD. But no, it's not from what you think.

(01:23:15):
Listen to this guy.

Speaker 6 (01:23:16):
For those of us there, it was such a horror
because you saw an emerging America. And it wasn't the shooting, Chuck,
this was I got diagnosed with PTSD within forty eight hours.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
I haven't put on trauma leave.

Speaker 6 (01:23:32):
Not because I think of the shooting, but because you
could you saw it in the eyes, the reaction to
the people.

Speaker 1 (01:23:37):
They were coming for us. If he didn't jump up
with his fist, they were going to come killed. I know,
what do you mean?

Speaker 8 (01:23:44):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
But did you process that lunacy that was just said
to you, Chuck, I got diagnosed with PTSD within forty
eight hours and put on trauma leave. No, not because
I saw somebody die and then the president gets shot
because the people around me thought I had something to
do with it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Right, I was about to say, like, it'd be different
if your like they get you know, I was diagnosed
with PTSD because I saw a guy's head explode in
front of me or whatever. Right, but yes, oh, suddenly
they were looking at me like I had something to
do with it. Why Why was that the first thought
that crossed your mind, Scott Right? Why would that be?

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
Sir? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Maybe you now, for like, you know, eight ten years,
you've had a loop that this dude that was just
shot at, right, was the next Hitler or Mussolini or
whoever you want to call him. Yeah, maybe you're sort
of complicit in pissing people off or pushing them to
the edge where they want to shoot somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
Maybe.

Speaker 8 (01:24:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:32):
And by the way, I don't if if Trump's and
I just want to be clear, I'm so glad it
didn't have. But let's say that Trump I was killed
right in front of him. I don't think that they
would have tore him in pieces. He wasn't going to
be drawn and quartered there, Okay, but yeah, people are
looking at you. That would that would be my initial
That was my initial thought when I saw the thing.

(01:24:53):
And I'm like, well, how what did they think that
they were ramping up to? And I've been at Trump events.
I've covered two of Trump's rallies, and uh, only one
I was in the press pit for it. So when
I went down to Charlotte, I was in the press pit,
which sits like you're surrounded by the crowd. It's it's
fenced off kind of, so you got workstations and stuff,

(01:25:16):
and so we're doing stuff there and uh, it's also
it's like people sit by the opposing team's bullpen and
chirp like this, this guy's a good baseball games just
to chirp the opposing team's pitchers or sit by the
opposing teams dugout to chirp them, and uh, that happens.

(01:25:36):
People are chirping all the press and there. It's funny,
although I'm like, I'm not with them, but but yeah,
and you see some of the bigger ones there and
they're covering it and people and and and what's strange
is like very little of it was I would say
overtly nasty. It was people who thought they were clever,
and some of them were very clever, and the reporters,

(01:25:58):
for the most part, they they ignore it, but some
of them chirp back. Man, it was funny. I remember
talking about this. Some of them are chirping back, and
so he's just like, Oh, they were gonna come over
and murder me if he didn't give up. Is that
also is what he thinks of them? Right? That has
colored his attitude that he immediately thought these people are

(01:26:20):
such savages that they would tear me limb from limb.
He has a very low opinion of Trump supporters. So
going back to your point, how do you think that happened?
Clearly you're telling me that you have that low an
opinion of people at this event or that follow Trump,
that you think that they're just savage animals that will
flip out and and commit homicide when clearly they I

(01:26:44):
don't think you're the shooter. How has that not colored
your journalism over the year if you think that, hey,
that's an indictment of your thought process. There, look caught
and I've covered Barack Obama rallies, man, and I was
and I was wearing credentials, and I was clearly credentialed.
From what people realize was the news talk in Minneapolis

(01:27:08):
w t KK, And so if they know anything about
what's on the dial, they understand that that's probably not
the pro Obama station. And at no point, and I
think it was gonna get murdered by them. I had
a couple of people make little snip comments. That was
the extent of it. I never felt unsafe. I will
say now if I, yeah, might feel unsafe in Portland

(01:27:31):
watching these Antifa people. By the way, Ross we put
the cut up from yes, I didn't get to this yesterday.
This was funny with the where they're using Trump's voice
to yeah, so it's really fair. So you know they've
been like staking out the that ice facility in Portland, right,

(01:27:51):
and they sit out front and they block it so
vans are trying to come in or out. Then you know,
it turns into a whole thing. And uh so with
the verbal warnings, now they have it recorded and this
is literally what they they they've they've used clearly like
an AI Trump filter on it. Is that Donald Trump?

(01:28:19):
Yeah he's inside you lunatic. Yeah, he showed up just
to taunt you. The facility is closed and not open
to the public. Is she inside? On a microphone. What's
happening here right now? She says, sir, her face masked?

(01:28:41):
Is that Donald Trump? He doesn't sleep. It stalks us
all the time. Everywhere you lot funnier, Shane Gillis walk out,
it's not normal. Yeah. Meanwhile, you're you're you're, you're nude
from the waist down. I don't know. Do you see
the girls that were like dancing and nude dancing? Oh yeah,
go look it up. One of them has got no

(01:29:03):
top on, and then the other one took her pants off,
and let's just say, you don't want to see the
second one, not at all. The other one. Yeah, maybe,
I don't know. She still earn her mask though, so
it's probably best she kept that on. No, it was
Donald Trump and they're taunting us. I might feel unsafe
with that group, just because they don't want to fight

(01:29:26):
you straight on. They want to come up and whack
you with something and then run away. Anyway. Forty five
stage stage in period of whacky with the weather? What
I did there?

Speaker 3 (01:29:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
Yeah, so let's go ahead do this thing and let's
try to make it. I don't know, maybe a nice weekend.
Some people can get out of the.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
Four part of the day, this part morning and too
early in mid afternoon. Right the only thing we're dealing
with is the hot humid weather heat advisories around the
triangle at points south and east. Try some counties, but
you get the picture. Hot human for everybody, probably ninety
to ninety five heated. Next one hundred to one oh

(01:30:06):
five are hotter in spots. And the shower thunderstorm threat
coming minto late afternoon into this evening. We're gonna radar
right now pretty clear because the sky showing lots of
clear sky too, So I'm really not going to see
much rain until later today into tonight, and then even
for the weekend likely more the same with scattered showers
and thunder showers basically during the afternoon hours, which could

(01:30:27):
continue into next week. Now did mention this earlier, but
that area that was once ninety three l that was
going west into the Louisian end of that circulation is
actually going to try to get scooped back around into
the southeastern US next week, So we'll see what that
does for our rain chances. May keep raining the forecast
for the early middle part of next week. There are
also flood watches north of the triad into Virginia, so

(01:30:48):
there might be some localized flooding. Two and again, eyes
and ears to the sky, hear thunder, Get indoors, you're
close enough to get by lightning. Say that today and
through the weekend. I'm sure many are still going to
try to be outdoors, but heads up in the afternoon hours,
that's when we'll have the best chance for thunder and lightning.

Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
Okay, all right, don't be the guy I got killed
on the golf course the other day. Just so I
want to be that guy. I'll look at that. And
Americans leading good. I always love it when we win.
They're open because they don't like that. So, yeah, you're
with John Daily one in the nineties with and it
was he was peak mullet and he had like a
Tory kicker on and all these dudes in like tweed
suits had to give him the trophy and you could

(01:31:25):
take the best. Yeah, they were not the only tragedy.
He wasn't smoking during the ceremony. All right, thank you, sir,
appreciate it. Okay, we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next.
Hang on with Jeff Bellinger, last one of the week,
And what do we.

Speaker 9 (01:31:38):
Got Jeff Well Happy Friday, Casey. The government just added
one more report to this week's batch. You're better than
expected economic indicators. Home Builders got to work on more
new projects last month than in May. Housing starts rose
more than four and a half percent in June to
an annual rate of nearly one point four million. Economists
were looking for a three and a half percent in

(01:32:00):
and Derning's reports have mostly been better than expected to Netflix,
American Express, three M and Charles Schwaber among the latest
companies to beat forecasts. Preliminary discussions are underway that could
lead to the biggest railroad deal ever. Sources say Union
Pacific is looking into a possible acquisition of Norfolk Southern.
A merger of the two companies would transform the North

(01:32:22):
American rail market, joining Union Pacific's network in the West
with Norfolk Southern's East coast routes. A combined company would
have a market value of nearly two hundred billion dollars.
Comcast is hiking the price of its Peacock streaming service
beginning next week. New customers will pay eleven dollars a
month for Peacock with advertising. The ad free service will

(01:32:43):
cost seventeen dollars a month. Rates for existing customers will
increase a month from now and later this year, you
will only be able to buy a Visio TV through
Walmart or Sam's Club. Walmart owns Visio, it's decided to
make it a private label brand. Visio Time televisions are
currently sold at Amazon, Target and other retailers in addition

(01:33:04):
to Walmart, and the long standing policy at the Target
is being discontinued, a price matching policy. It's part of
the retailer strategy to simplify pricing. Target says it will
match prices within its own ecosystem, that is, if there's
a discrepancy between an online and in store price, but
it will stop matching lower prices charged by competitors. And

(01:33:27):
the Casey, the first Crispy Cream store, opened in Winston,
Salem in July of nineteen thirty seven, and the doughnut
chain is celebrating its eighty eighth anniversary today offering a
dozen original glazed donuts for eighty eight cents with the
purchase of any other dozen at regular price.

Speaker 1 (01:33:44):
Casey, all right, that's all I need is a bunch
of donuts, all right? Thank you, k I appreciate it.
Have a good weekend. Yeah, there you go. Jeff Bellinger,
Bloomberg News. Speaking of food and Ross, what are you
drinking in there? What is that? What is I got
nothing right now? No, but you're drinking something earlier?

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
What was it? It's coffee?

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
Did you just black coffee yet? Yeah? That's it. You
don't put any milk in there? I sure don't, Okay,
I'm I have to check because Ross is doing the
gym thing, and I read the story yesterday. You ready
side hustling mama's paying for lavage vacations and weddings by
selling their breast milk to thirsty bodybuilders. What what are

(01:34:26):
you guys doing at the gym that is so gross?
Is that a thing? Not that I'm aware of. I
know that women. I know women will pump and provide
milk for other women who either can't produce or they
have like some sort of medical ailment. I get that.
That's great. I didn't realize dudes wanted to get gains
were buying this stuff and not cheap either. Can't you

(01:34:51):
drink just like regular milk, like of like in the store,
like muscle milk, or like you know, like protein powder
or like why what's the benefit of Yeah, you need
it right off the tap. So this is a way
for dudes to see more boobs. I could at least understand,
but I don't think because no, they're buying it all
packaged and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
The photos in the article are so gross, like these
bags of Like.

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
Yeah, so what's the weirdest supplement they tried to push
on you?

Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
So the new thing I've been seeing in the like
the lifting community is and they're trying to like go
back to it's like a throwback supplement to like, hey,
this is what bodybuilders used before, like the steroids of
the seventies is like bow vine testicles and like liver
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
And they have this supplements.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
Yeah, they have these supplements that you can buy and
capsule for them, and they're like it's like eight hundred
eggs or something. But I don't want to buy it
because it looks super weird. If you were to open
up my pantry and you see like, you know, cowballs,
Hey man, it's weird. Don't knock them til you've tried them.
But you don't need them, and you bred them. I mean,
people don't even dude. The reason, the main reason to
consume those.

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
When I was a kid, we'd go to Bozeman Trail,
which was the restaurant's got to a Putt Putt. It's
a total tourist trap, and so you'd have families that
are all driving a Yellowstone and whatnot, and then you
go in there and we would loudly order the appetizer,
which are the rock a Mount and oysters and just
eat them in front of tourists or creedem mount. But
they're really good.
