Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up, we will chat with Congressman Brad Not that'll
be at eighth five, and boy, you know, we got
a bunch to get into. Obviously got rush to Gates stuff.
Apparently some sandwiches are not being toasted for the inmates
of Alligator Alcatraz and they're upset about that or something

(00:20):
I don't know. And he's got his own stuff as
it pertains to illegal immigrants that he's working on from
a legislative standpoint. So we'll get into that. And it
really really looks like giz lay Maxwell's going to, at
the very least attempt to I'm assuming, strike a deal

(00:44):
of some sort, which would then obviously require disclosure of
some things. But you know you're still going to That's
not going to be the only thing. But maybe it
gets the ball rolling, if they have intention of getting
the ball rolling, which I still question because I feel

(01:06):
like there's just way too much evidence out there to
not be able to come up with a single other name.
That's if she makes it to court, I guess if
you're conspiratorial or to a deposition or an interview, you know,
and obviously you know her testimony if it is attached
to any sort of consideration for sentencing has to be

(01:28):
viewed through that lens. That is self serving. Now, why
she didn't before, according to her lawyer, is because they
said she was innocent. So that's why they wouldn't even
consider a conversation about a deal previously. Clearly that didn't
work out. She got twenty years. I don't know how
her and her lawyer thought she wasn't gonna get twenty years,

(01:50):
except maybe they just thought that this is real conspiratorial.
But maybe they just thought that maybe there were people
within the system who just wanted this to go away
and would try to deal with her in the same
way that Epstein kind of was dealt with the first
time around, where he got that sweetheart deal. So I

(02:11):
don't know, I don't know, but it isn't enough to
get things going. I don't know. But you know, the
brad Not is not just a congressman, he's also a
former prosecutor. So I'm always interested to run things through
the lens of that. So we will, we will do
that thing coming up here at well just two hours

(02:32):
from now, So you're gonna have to stick around for
a while. You really have no choice in the matter. Okay,
all right, very good. A couple things, A couple things.
I saw this article this morning and it's it really
frustrates me when because I try to explain to people

(02:54):
that journalism is several things. One it's writing an article,
or bad journalism, I should say, is writing an article
much like you see where it's clearly you're in the
pocket for one side. NBC News is just on a
tear over this Russia Gate stuff, and one of the
reasons is that what Gabbard released shows several different things

(03:20):
that transpired where the Obama administration seemed to want to
limit on the record knowledge that in fact, well, look
here's the deal. Did Russia medal in elections? Yes? Does
it have any material impact? Up until now, we really
didn't think so. It was only at the Russiagate thing
where they pretended like this is the greatest threat to elections,

(03:42):
and you know, most people could see right through this.
A few Facebook ads are not moving the needle when
these cats are spending billions of dollars on statewide races,
you know a combination of it, so you get a
governor's race, you get a Senate race, you could get
into the billion dollars real quick. You get into a
couple of billion, depending on what state it is, let

(04:04):
alone what presidential spending is. So most people knew that
was garbage. And there were assessments that came out that
that was garbage, including one where the president was to
be briefed on how garbage it was, and they kind
of pre warned, and all of a sudden, he didn't
take the briefing. That looks really suspicious. There's a bunch

(04:25):
of other stuff, clearly, so you know, we'll, we'll, we'll,
we'll get into it, and NBC News can pretend that
it it. Oh, oh, this is this is settled science, right,
because it's on the This is another Biden cognitive moment
for the media. Right if this wholesale turns out and

(04:45):
is provable that there was this conspiracy or however you
want to look at it to attempt to sabotage Trump's presidency,
which started within the Obama administration, once they realize this
guy is going to be president. This guy's gonna this
guy's gonna be president, and we got we got to
do something resistance, right, it might be the biggest political

(05:09):
scandal of my lifetime. Hands I'm trying to think if
there's a bigger one. If there's a big a bigger
political scandal in my lifetime, like I wasn't around for JFK,
so you know something might consider that a bigger political scandal. No,
I don't think it's close. If this wholesale manufacturing with

(05:32):
known false information, which was wildly expensive and divisive for
our country, was was propagated by not only the city
and US president, but somebody who was hand selected or
was guaranteed to be the next president, right with the
Quinton campaign taking over that Steele dossier from Fusion GPS. Uh,

(05:58):
you guys get that. That's biggie. Now are they gonna
throw Obama in jail? No? And I don't believe it
for a minute. And here's why. One there people are going, well,
Donald Trump a jud this is the new thing with
the NBC, the well that case with Donald Trump adjudicated.
You can't throw Barack Obama in jail. No, that's not

(06:19):
what it said. But you go ahead and make that
argument to people who want to be duped. That's fine,
That is not normal course of duties. Stop. Secondly, Secondly,
I think I believe that there was if they were
actually got serious about trying to throw Barack Obama in jail,

(06:40):
that they some are mostly peaceful protests would be unleashed
on steroids, on steroids, every activist, You're gonna throw the
first black president in jail. All this country would lose
its mind. So it doesn't make it right. I'm a

(07:01):
firm believer. Hey, if you did it, you did it right,
and you're you're gonna have to pay the piper. I'm
just letting you know what will likely happen, and it
will get really, really, really ugly. However, there's lots of
people in between, really the ones who did the heavy
lifting on this stuff. So we'll see. But that is

(07:21):
my prediction, because the media will find themselves if if
it is this obvious, if there's this many moving pieces,
and if it mirrors what people have been saying for
years that was rejected out of hand by most of
the mainstream media, They're going to look exactly like they
looked with the Biden cognitive decline. So you have it,
You'll have some mea culpa moments, and then a bunch

(07:42):
of people write books about how they knew all along.
Oh just here, It just put it on our predictions
tab okay, I know it may take a while to
pan out, but that's kind of where I see this
thing going so well, but you know, we'll learn more,
we'll see where it goes. So yeah, we got a

(08:03):
couple of big things to be watching this week, coupled
with stuff like this. So bad journalism is a combination
of not just writing an article where there are known
fallacies in there or things that you want to be true,
and you diminish those who might have a different opinion.
You saw a lot of this during COVID, you're seeing

(08:23):
it now with this. Also, it's intentionally leaving nuggets of
information out of stories, as well as story selection, choosing
not to do stories. All of these things are hallmarks
of a corrupted newsroom. And I'll give you an example.
We had a story I didn't get into it. We
had a story last week and it was a lot ross.

(08:46):
How long was the story on the ac units at
the schools in Wake County? Had to be one of
the longest stories you put into a package.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Man, it was a long story.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
It was a long story. Okay, all right. That's so
when you was formatted into like twelve fonts regular it's
ten pages, would you believe in this story, at no
point did they decide to bring up the COVID the

(09:17):
COVID monies that were intended for new air units, right,
So it was a combination of filters replacing not fil filters,
air filtration machines, and upgrades to existing AC and HVAC
units for schools so that they could in fact have
those scrubbers and everything in there. There was giant piles

(09:40):
of money that were allocated all across the country, and
the whole article was about how the school district has
these schools. Then the percentage and it's not just in
Wake County, but Wake County's got a big problem because
like I you know, I think it's the majority of
their schools have had at least one incident where the
AC just went out, and as a result, if it's

(10:01):
in the middle of summer, a lot of those schools
have had to cancel school for the day. And they
came to the conclusion after ten pages, they just need
a lot more money, and they talked about where they were,
how they were prioritizing their five year plan. All these
things went on and on and on, and I'm kept
waiting for the COVID stuff. And it wasn't in there.

(10:24):
How do you write a ten page article with the
thing that everyone is asking about being absent from it?
Case in point, I see this this headline on WRAO
this morning, Durham flooding victims turned away from hotel because
of address. Maybe you guys saw this story and it
talks about a couple who was you know, who had

(10:47):
flood damage and had to go, you know, leave their home.
And they had been staying in a I think a
holiday inn for a while, a few days in a
holiday inn, but then they decided to move to Candlewood suites.
It sounds like they got a better deal on that,
so they check out of the holiday in. They do

(11:07):
a price line by it sounds like for the Candlewood
and the one over on Highway fifty four. They drive
over there and they're on the other side of Durham,
so it's like a thirty minute drive and they walk
in to check in and the clerk during check in says,
I can't, I can't rent you the room. We're gonna

(11:28):
have to cancel your reservation. And I guess the Gwendolyn
is the wife here, and she says, I'm sorry, what, Yeah,
and then and shows them their policy. And the policy
is just to sum it up, that they do not
rent hotel rooms to residents of Durham County since they

(11:49):
are in Durham County, which sounds weird, right, but it's not.
Now in this instance, I think that the hotel. This
is why you have to be able to empower your
employees to some extent, because you know what's going on.
I think in this instance, as if you are that
hotel manager. And I don't know how much they escalated this,

(12:12):
if it was just the front desk lady or whatever,
but I think you have to empower the ability to
you know, override a policy like that in a situation
like this, Okay, And so that that is on the hotel.
But the people they write this whole article and they

(12:33):
never really explain, although they do at the very end.
Let's see here they throw out North Carolina's laws as
their duty to receive guests and it does not require them.
There's just reasons why you can make that decision. If
a person is unwilling or unable to pay, that's sure.

(12:55):
If the person is under the influence of alcohol or
drugs and creating a nuisance, all right, obvious, they believe
the person will use the room for an unlawful purpose
that's a prostitution thing, or if they believe they'll bring
in something that could create an unreasonable danger or risk
to others. All right, now we're into this. What here's

(13:16):
the reason that hotels have this policy. And I see it.
I've seen it in many hotels, many hotels, or I've
at least seen it discussed, and it goes like this.
The reason that local hotels don't want to rent to
people who may live just down the street is too
often those hotels are used for parties, especially when you

(13:40):
get into a certain price point of hotel. This is
more likely to happen to inexpensive hotel. Obviously, one of
the expensive hotels Downtown generally doesn't have this policy because
you know, people may get a hotel room if they
go to see a concert downtown and they you know,
they happen to live over at apex or something. All Right,

(14:00):
they don't do it because they have had to deal
with instances where somebody local will rent the room and
then all their buddies are coming over, and now you've
got a lowed party. You may have people doing stuff
for the parking lot. There may be drugs, they may
be harassing other guests who ask them, hey, I need
to get some sleep, and they just they don't want

(14:20):
the business because it creates it creates a cycle, and
it creates a narrative. And I don't know why WRAL
News could not include that in there, because it leaves
the people. It leads people to believe that somehow there's
some racist connotation there. Oh, they don't know. Why would

(14:41):
you not rent to Durham residents? You know a lot
of Durham residents are black. I looked at the comments
on social media this that's where people were going. And
that's just not why these hotels do this. They do
this because they've been bitten too many times and they
don't want to deal with it. For the same reason.
If you do it Airbnb and you don't want to
rent to people with a local address, you can do that.

(15:06):
You can say no to that as the owner of
the property. And a lot of them won't do that,
or they'll shut off those listings as it pertains to
big events, or they just don't want to rent to somebody.
And that's your right, is the property owner. But you know,

(15:26):
at least explain it. Man, This is the stuff that
drives me nutty. But I just thought it was another
good example to talk to you about this morning. All right,
so long first segment. They're just wanted to get quite
a few things in. So coming up on the show,
Jeff was Jeff Daniels dumb or dumber? I think Jim
Carrey would have to be dumb and then Daniels would

(15:46):
be dumber. Right, since Carrie's kind of the main I
don't know, but he's living up to it. Man, so
kind of insane interview from him that we will get to.
We have yet another very sad line in the entertainment industry,
which I think you guys are aware of. So we'll
get to all that coming up. Case O Day Radio program. Ever,

(16:07):
go full to Nero, I think is probably safe to say,
and arguably, if you're in Hollywood, you should be a
lot less inclined to go full moonbat right. Nobody's for
nobody's forcing your hand. I understand where I even understand
the mentality that you've heard a lot of like mid
level Hollywood people, or more more usually former Hollywood people. Right,

(16:31):
people had success and then for whatever reason, we're tagged
as being conservatives or Christians. Try I think of a
good example. It's not that they don't work anymore, but
they're not getting a level offers and so a lot well,
Kirk Cameron probably be a good example right where people

(16:51):
maybe they may not even have strong political beliefs, but
they'll go and they'll expouse all the preferred correct talking
points because it keeps you flowing within the circles in
Hollywood there and so it's it's a career thing. It's
also not being true to yourself, but that's how they
were able to maintain there. Then there's the true believers

(17:14):
and those folks man especially actors who seem to be
kind of universally liked. I don't understand why you do it,
and I sure don't understand why you do it now
when the real insanity of the last few years is
seemingly receding. It's still out there, but it's not it's
not moving the needle as much. And that's why everyone

(17:35):
could pretend that they didn't do these things. See did
you see the level of course correction that bud Light
did with the ads that they were running during the
British Open Ross I told you about this, right, So
they have a series of ads where it's Peyton Manning
and Shane Gillis drinking bud Light man And it's not
that both haven't been, but they have that they had
it rolled out a whole new one, so they're all

(17:56):
in on this. It shows you just how bad they
were injured with all that insanity, which people again remember
it wasn't just Dylan mulvany with his six pack. For
me and for a lot of people, it was the
the offhanded comments by their head of marketing who decided jokingly,

(18:19):
because she's a giant moon bat, to basically insult their
entire customer base and laugh about it. And I don't
know if that woman ever got another jet. Probably there's
probably probably somewhere making six near seven figures somewhere, but
just just a legendary self phoned there. And so that

(18:40):
you know they're having to come correct. The All Star
Baseball Game going right back to Atlanta after being moved
that year, and there was no change in the law
that they claimed they were moving. For the CEOs who
now don't have an opinion, it's a Delta Airlines and
just like just all of this garbage. So if you're

(19:00):
Jeff Daniels, people like Jeff Daniels Ross, You like Jeff
Daniels movies, don't you? Over the years, Yes.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, no, I have, Yeah, Dumb and Dumber and the
Martian he's been great.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah. Yeah. And I remember when he was doing that
Newsroom show. He did some interviews and I'm like, oh,
I didn't realize how crazy this dude was. But I
guess I kind of forgot about it. So for him
to just go looney Tunes in this interview that emerged yesterday,
I don't get it, but we'll hear this. Let me
give you some examples. Well, okay, Ross got three cuts here, Okay, perfect,

(19:34):
all right, It's like, are you sitting down because this
is a level of crazy that might just knock you
on your butt this morning. So here we go.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
I still think about Kamala and how I think she
would have been a good choice. I don't care what
they say, because she would have done what Lincoln did.
Liz Cheney would have been Secretary of State. Yeah, Team
Arrival Stores. Kern's a good one, wrote the book about it.
Less what Lincoln did surrounded himself with the people who

(20:05):
would disagree with him, not the people who would you know,
take a knee and go Yeah, more tariffs, sir.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
More Okay, I don't know where to start. That is
that's thirty seconds. By the way, that is a level
of crazy packed into thirty shot. I felt the same way,
which is why I put this on the button bar
and multiple cuts. Yeah, because typically I put it on
in like one, you know, giant kind I'm like, this
has to be divided because there's so much to go
over here. Yeah, there's just three there's three things just
in this first cut. So she's Lincoln. What also she

(20:35):
surrounds herself with rivals like Liz Cheney.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
You know, the conservative icon Liz Cheney.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Ohay, head of the party. I heard it one time. Yeah,
what are you talking about? What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (20:51):
What do you mean she's.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Gonna be like Lincoln? Like I don't even know? Okay,
all right, fine, it's surely it can't get any crazier
than that. Oh in the tariff's reference. Hold on, let's
let me get cut to.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's the madness of King George and if and if
and just the deterioration of the Republican Party. I mean, look,
I'm just an actor.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
What do I know.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
But when Mitch started stacking the courts twenty five years ago,
I said it on your show. Once it's they can
see it coming, the new America that is diverse and
treats everyone with equality and respect and dignity, you know,
kind of like Jesus did. We're ready for that, and

(21:35):
Mitch and company could see it coming. They were going
to be the minority, so they just started and then
here we are.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
So okay, let me let me handle the court thing first.
Ross has some thoughts on the Jesus thing. What what
do you mean stack in the court? Do you mean
this thing that has gone back and forth but was
actually worsened and expanded by Harry Reid's decision to pull
the nuclear option? Are you rep seeing Merrick Garland and
that nomination being sat on at the tail end of
the Obama I'm assuming that's what he's talking about, but

(22:08):
he's he's clearly a lunatic if he thinks that it's
that Mitchmiga twenty five years ago, he starts stacking the court.
Look at the current crop of district federal court judges
right now who have put injunctions on all of these
things that are clearly within the power of the presidency,
just for the purpose of slow rolling any of these

(22:30):
fundamental changes that this administration is trying to enact. Changes
the people voted for it, changes the people when you
pull them still pull in the majority on a positive way,
in a positive way. So I don't know what the
hell you're talking about. And then to invoke Jesus, who
what is he even trying to get at there?

Speaker 2 (22:50):
The tariff thing bugs me too, right, because you got
a lot of people that are like still acting like,
oh my god, the tariffs are going to destroy the economy. Now,
yeah when they were first put in place, like when
they're now, it's ready. They went to the red for
a while for a little bit.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Even CNN had to point out that it never really
did what they said it was going to do.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
But but for the what was it last month, we
had a budget surplus for the first time in forever forever,
And I know, personally, like, you know, looking at my
for it, one k it's gone up since January. Yeah,
essentially it's gone up. Yeah, I'm not like at Pelosi level, but.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Dude, I just made an investment a month ago. That's up. Yeah,
a lot more than I thought it was going to be.
Not a big one, but it's a you know, as
a percent well Pelosi level.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Come on, man, But if you're like still like Jeff
Daniels and you're dooming over the tariffs, I mean, you're
just oblivious to what's actually happened. I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Jeff Daniels is richer if I'm assuming he has you know, investments, right,
obviously he's got money. He got to park it somewhere
like this dude doesn't have to probably do another movie
considering what he's sitting on right now, and it's probably
way up unless he's just dumb about it. So yeah, yeah,
and all that doom and gloom didn't come to pass.

(23:59):
And then again going back to the Jesus thing, well,
I don't understand why he throws the Jesus thing.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Well, they always like to throw men because they like
to say, oh, you know, he was like super forgiving
of everything, and he was tolerant of everything, and they
always leave off that parting well, they leave off the
part where you know he would say I forgive you,
but they leave off this really important part at the end,
which is the end sitinel more right, recognizing that you've sinned,
and he's saying, hey, don't do that anymore. Oh okay,
which means, you know, there's some things that he thought
were wrong.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah. Yeah, No, he's not.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Saying, hey, just do whatever you want, Kumbayan, I'm cool
with everything.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I think his dad had a list he did. Yeah, okay,
So yeah, it's all right. So I can't. I don't
know that I can suffer through the rest of it.
Can you summarize?

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Can we do it?

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Just?

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Can we just summarize? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (24:44):
No.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
There's a final cut there too, and he pretty much
puts all of his thoughts into one. How long is it?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Seconds? Yeah? Okay, thank god, because I can't. I'm not
gonna play the whole interview or we all just lose
our minds, all right. So so those two are kind
of the main things. Here's here's the rest of his argument.
And I want you to at least consider it when
you hear it. Okay, you know, give it because I
you know, obviously we'd analyzed the first two cuts there

(25:13):
and gave it some consideration, found it to come up
wanting and you know, mocked it, blocked it accordingly. But
I don't know, maybe make some valid points here at
the end. I hadn't thought of that.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
I mean it's a good point.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
Yeah really, okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Okay, that last point at Tiana was interesting. Nah, I
reject that as well. So, and that's how I will
always remember Jeff Daniels that cut and then those other two.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Remember, I mean, that's really I mean, I know he
had roles before that, but that's the first big role.
I the first big sit I remember him is sitting
on the toilet and dumb and dumber, which, by the way,
he did not want to do, did not want to
do it. His agent was like, this is going to
kill your career, and Jim Carrey was like, no, you
need to do it, and you need to just really
do it. You let you know, and it don't have
as you get.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
A great job.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Scene seems hilarious, man. Plus the way he's dressed. Yeah,
he craft the hell out of that toilet. Yeah. Man.
Sometimes right, oh, vacation. Sometimes you have vacation, things get
a little weird. So uh yeah, all right, all right, look,
I'll yield you your third cut, but on the rest
you're you're an absolute drooling lunatic and it's just really

(26:42):
sad to see. All right, six forty six here on
the Casey Hode Radio program, Hang On, I just got
an email from one of our listeners so that they
were making these same exact Jeff Daniels points this morning
from our third cut. Well, then you should go to
a doctor, sir, Yeah, in Tony email any more updates,
Let's please whatever you do. So maybe yesterday you saw

(27:05):
this story Ross. You see the story of the eighty
two year old Chilean grandfather that is allegedly scooped up.
He was trying to renew his green card, I guess,
and then they deported him to Guatemala and according to
his family just do the stress and everything going on,
he died in Guatemala.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
This.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Did you see this story yesterday?

Speaker 7 (27:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (27:24):
I missed it.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Oh okay, Well it's good because there's a couple corrections
they had to make overnight. So one Ice had no
record of detaining him. Two Guatemala had no record of
him entering the country. Three, the hospital he was reportedly
at when he died has no record of him. And
they found out he died in Chile in twenty nineteen.

(27:48):
So other than those four updates. I guess the story stands.
How do you screw that up that bad unless you
are just so overzealous and wanted to report worth this?
And how many of these are we gonna have? These
are turn you know what? These are turning into? The
waitress notes. That's the vibe I get. You guys know

(28:09):
what I mean when I say the waitress notes. All
you get these every occasion, you get this viral thing.
And it can be over some can be over sexuality,
can be over race right, and then somebody with all
of their identifying information, or at least enough to figure
out who they are, would be so bold as to
write the most racist or homophobic or whatever it is

(28:32):
crap on a receipt, which then a photo is taken
of the receipt it shared on social media, goes viral.
The server will generally get to go fund me, and
then they want to hunt down whose receipt it was
and scream them they're a big racist. And it seems
like in almost every instance. I'm sure there are some
that are true, but in almost every high profile instance,

(28:54):
what inevitably comes out who actually wrote it? The server? Right,
There's countless examples of it. And so now you're getting
these stories about this eighty this poor this poor, this
poor grandfather deported not even to his own country. The
stress then made his heart give out. It's horrible, except

(29:16):
he wasn't alive. He wasn't he wasn't alive. He's he
hadn't been alive for six years man, let alone. All
the other people had to deny that any of this happened.
We had the story of the grandmother who was She
was working at Jack in the Box, right, and all
of a sudden, suv pulls up with masked men who

(29:37):
look like ICE agents. They snatched her in the parking garage,
which is adjacent to the Jack in the Box, and
her family gets a GoFundMe going, And then it turned
out that they were all in on it. She wasn't kidnapped.
She just went into hiding while the family set up
a GoFundMe and people gave him money. And Ice said,
we don't know what the hell you're talking about, because

(30:01):
the media wants to run them, man, they want to
run them, so they're willing to be like, oh, absolutely no,
it's probably true. Let's just let's not fact fact check
any of that. Because of course Ice is going to
say they have no record, it's what they do, and
it's all just so dumb. All right, So it's very
sad news. After yesterday's show focusing on Malcolm Jamal Warner's

(30:24):
drowning death on vacation in Costa Rica, we have the
second in our you know, going threes, a celebrity death list,
and this is a this is not one. I guess
that was unexpected. I think people have been expecting this
for a while. But I just he just gave a concert.
He just gave his what was deemed is his final concert,

(30:46):
and that's uh, that's Ozzy Osbourne. Man, Ozzy Osbourne and
set was seventy six. Dude, do you remember how old
he I'm not trying to be in sight, but do
you remember how watching him get around on that reality show?
And I was surprised. Ross has told me he was

(31:06):
in his fifties The Math Maths, I guess when they
started that.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's crazy to think that back when the peak of
that show, what like early two thousands, rights that long ago?

Speaker 6 (31:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, right, he was what fifty five, mid fifties or something,
sounds crazy, probably into his early sixties as they moved through.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
I will say I never really watched the show that much,
although there was one There is a highlight. I remember
one of my favorite parts of the show.

Speaker 8 (31:32):
Now, Oh guy, Gus, Jim Bill, whatever you have, ninety
Joe and I is going to be dead if you.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Twist his chicken.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
I'm going there much if you understand that, I don't
even go there.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Ozzie knew how to deal with cats, so he didn't
know their names, but he did. And then that cat
was an a hole, so as as many of them are.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
I mean, it's the worst when your cat whatever wants
your food, because they will just I mean, they're hunters,
you know what I mean. Yeah, figure it out.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
They'll get up on top of the fridge. You don't
even see him up there, and then off.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
You know, Elliot, my stupid cat, the one that likes
eating plastic and stuff. Yeah, yeah, so he doesn't he
doesn't go after actual food. Like if you put real food, like, hey, buddy,
here's a piece of meat in front of you, he'll
sniff it and be like, I don't know what this is,
or like a piece of cheese or something like, I
don't know what this is and they'll like sniff it
and then I'll walk away. But he hunts down Lincoln's

(32:26):
Cheetos like crazy. He likes Cheetos and like chips. What
because my theory is I told you how he loves
the plastic because there's like plastic in these foods or
it's not like real food, you know what I mean,
it's like it's.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
It's so he likes highly processed foods. What you say, really,
what an unhealthy diet that has?

Speaker 2 (32:49):
We don't give him the food. Actually, you know, obviously
you're not gonna be eating Cheetos. We're gonna you know,
that's Lincoln's food. But if if Lincoln is in front
of on the couch or something, playing video games and
he has a bull of Cheetos, you know in his
little table of them drops, oh dude, Elliot's like I
need those Cheetos.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Was talking about the death of Ozzy Osbourne, and you know,
to say he's been a divisive figure and led a
very interesting life would be an understatement. And I'm not
here to trash on it. But you know, the history
is the history. Remember Black Sabbath kicked him out of
the band. They kicked Ozzy what in like seventy nine
or something, and so what did he do. He went

(33:25):
solo and then went platinum with his first two albums.
I think he went way more than platinum on the
first of them, but right, and so he found that
level of success there. And I forgot about this, and
a buddy of mine who's from Texas just reminded me.
It's like, I don't know if you know this. There's
a lot of Texans who got beef with Ozzy Osbourne

(33:48):
because in nineteen eighty two he decided to urinate on
the Alamo, which, by the way, isn't that interesting. We're
just doing Alamo stories back.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
To bat I was just thinking about that yesterday with
the Pewee Herman bicycle.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah yeah, which was not there, so he did not
even not able to urinate on that, but he did
urinate on the Alamo. And I don't know if you
know this. Texans are they're kind of fans of the Alamo.
This is it's a it's a point of pride obviously
due to the you know, it's it what it meant
as part of Texas becoming Texas versus the Republic and

(34:20):
then eventually the state. So they don't like it when
you urinate on one of their big I'm trying to
think with that, what would it be comparable to in
North Carolina? What is it if some somebody decided they
were going to urinate on the side of it all
something No, a real thing like the Hatteras Lighthouse. All right,

(34:43):
well I'll use that as an example. Right, So it's
going to be a man made structure. Yeah, but even
more so because you know, well the Hatteras Lighthouse is
is iconic and you can see it on license plates
and if if you've been there, of course, it's very
easy to see if you go to Hatteras because it's

(35:05):
lighthouse and that's the point of it has a unique
look and people are very proud of it. It's still
not the top destination it's but in Texas, the Alamo
is the biggest thing, going from a tourism perspective, from
an individual item, so there is a huge sense and
point of pride there.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
There was a special It was a show he did
with his son Jack where they would go and tour
the country and like an RV or whatever. And in
one of the episodes they stopped and at the Alamo
they stopped. They stopped there and they were given a
tour and like they let him in. Yeah, they gave
him a tour in city hall, and they actually gave him,
like they said, like a sort of like an apology

(35:44):
they gave he talked to like some big city official there. Yes,
oh my gosh. Yeah, it was a really cool episode because.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
I don't know about it. Now, I'm angry. I'm sorry.
I think you sign up for never being allowed in
the Alamo again for that stuff. And then everybody goes
their separate ways. But some some some city person some.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
It was some city official, and they went over the
whole story of it, and I think Honesty said he
was didn't actually do it on the Alamo. It was
like a I don't know, I don't know, I really
didn't do it, but you know, I mean he felt
I actually maybe he don't know, he felt bad about it.
He was back and forth, but I remember he was
talking to some city official and there was like this
big special about the debt on the Alamo.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Dude, if I, let's say I went to the Sistine Chapel, Okay,
although maybe I shouldn't do something with a religious connotation,
but divorced, So if I went to I don't know,
the coliseum, okay, and I'm in that little part where
you can go in the call. You can't really go
through most of it, but you can go in that
that loop that they have there. And then I just
dropped mid trial and was like, all right, go in here.

(36:53):
I would understand why I'm not allowed in the coliseum.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
I'm not I'm not saying it's right, but I'm saying
that there was an episode involving that. I'm pretty no, no,
I know you're not.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
I'm just amazed by that. Could you think it? Because
San Antonio, there's two there's two reasons to go to
San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I think, okay, listen, I think the I think Ozzy
was the one that apologized. Ozzy, I'm sorry you should
have done that, and they you know, they shook hands.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
And oh thank god. The other the other way just
seems so insane. But I could also see somebody who's
kind of starstruck. He's like, it's fine, come on, come
and pee on our stuff.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
You know where it was a different time it was.
I mean that was pre Pee Wee's bicycle.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
So yeah, no, that was yeah eighty two, so beat
it by a few years. Can you imagine if he
on the bicycle that straight to the high Okay, so
now there is a line for you. I got you. Yeah,
you go to San Antonio, you go to the Alamo,
you go to the river walk there, you go there.
I just planned your vacation for you. There's other stuff
as well, and I'm not sure I like San Antonio,

(37:49):
but those those are really the two things where if
you're gonna do the tourist thing a little quick trip
in there, you should. You should not miss those two things.
But yeah, that being said, you also not you're innate
on any of them. So if you could do that,
that'd be that'd be swell, all right. But there's also
the one of the more iconic moments. Oh yeah, I know,

(38:12):
I know, the whole bat thing. I just assume that
went without saying. But yes, I will acknowledge the bat
and how some people felt about that. But you're right, sir,
he did not catch COVID or he has long COVID,
and this is what it looked like. I don't know.
I guess we'll find out in a few decades.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Maybe he started COVID by biting the bat.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Well, I mean that was the allegation. When they were
trying to say the lab lee, they were spatially accused
somebody of biting the bat or eating one anyway, So AnyWho,
But there was also a White House correspondence here that
took place during the Bush administration. Oh, I've bet some
people were mad at Bush for just hamming it up

(38:52):
with Ozzie too, if they still have Alamo beef being
you know Bush, Texas, you know Texas guy here, Texas
family at the time. So anyway, so White House correspondences
did Ozzie's there and uh, we'll just here. Just listen
to Bush get into it as part of his speech.

Speaker 9 (39:11):
Laura and I are honored to be here tonight.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Thanks for the invitation.

Speaker 9 (39:20):
That's what a fantastic audience we had tonight, Washington power brokers, celebrities,
Hollywood stars, Ozzy Osburn.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Now Ozzie is up on the table.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yes, all right, yeah, I was gonna say it at
the end, but yes, Ozzie has now decided that he's
going to wild out. So he's up on the table
doing what would you describe that as Ozzie stuff?

Speaker 2 (39:58):
I mean, he's just waving, you know, he's doing symbol
and that sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, but you know, but yeah, you don't see that
often at White House Correspondent Center. I will say that
who's taking it all in?

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Okay, oz.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Secret Service probably what's what's going on. It might have
been a mistake, all right. So so that that ensues.
And then one of the first jokes that Bush actually
is an Ausie joke. It's pretty funny. Actually here you

(40:38):
go hanging out about Ozzie is. He's made a lot of.

Speaker 9 (40:43):
Big hit recordings, Party with the Animals, Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath,
Facing Hell, Blast Guys and blood Bath and Paradise. Ozzie
Mom loves your stuff.

Speaker 10 (41:03):
All right.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
It's a kind of low hanging fruit. But there you go.

Speaker 6 (41:07):
All right.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
You know, I forgot what kind of like comedic timing
Georgia w had. Yeah, yeah, funny.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Dude, man, you know. And here's and here's the thing too.
It's like that if I could just escape then and
go back in the world of politics. Do you think
that the White House Correspondent Center ever comes back to
what it was, Whether you loved it or hated it,
that's done.

Speaker 6 (41:26):
Man.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
I wonder how long that that Catholic thing up in
New York is for this world. Well, those are candidates,
so they want the they want the pub and the press.
So maybe, but no, the and people I've heard people
say that Trump destroyed the White House Correspondence dinner. No
he didn't. He stopped participating in it, and I understand why,
and then it might have been mendible, right if people

(41:50):
would have just come to their senses. But what happened.
He sent his Press secretary Huckabee Sanders, and they trashed
on her and for her weight, among others things and
how she looked it was all. It was just really
really mean spirited and then that was it. It's just done.
I don't know that you'll ever get back there. And
you know, the willingness to burn down these institutions just

(42:13):
out of their sheer hatred for Trump is one hundred
percent on them because he he attended this thing. He
attended this thing before he was president, and that's how
you got the famous Barack Obama the you know where
Barack Obama was trashing on us. There's a lot of
people who think that that incident at that White House
Correspondence dinner stuck in Trump's craw and that's what that

(42:37):
literally was the deciding thing for him. He's just like,
f this, dude, Oh may you tell me I'm never
going to be president. I'll show you. And then that
scene that happens every time we transition the presidency where
the new president what happens they go to the White
House and the old president's there, and the old president

(42:58):
stands at the front door greets him. Maybe they exchange
gifts and then has to be like, all right, it's
your house now, buddy. And Barack Obama knowing that he
made that comment, probably not caring because this guy was
just so full of himself when it came to things
like this. Had to eat an immense amount of crow

(43:18):
that day. And I wonder if Trump didn't tell him, yeah,
well you really motivated me, Brock. Thank you, thank you
for the kick I needed because Trump had toyed with
running for president for years and not just for him.
Remember Donald Trump, Remember Donald Trump actively worked for Jesse
Jackson's presidential hopeful as a presidential hopeful. I know, all

(43:42):
this stuff just gets, you know, in the dustbin of
history and nobody thinks about it. But now everyone all right,
hold on, now everyone's sending me different things that if
people urinated on in North Carolina had it. Look, it's
got to be iconic, and it's got to be something
like like I give you an example. Let's say Ross.
Let's say I went up to Massachusetts, Okay, and I

(44:05):
don't know Foxborough stadiums, they're right on the side of it.
I don't know I should be kicked out, be worth it,
but I should be I should still be kicked out.
So it just comes down to what people treasure in value.
And that's fine. So let's just let's just not auzzie
the side of any of these things that emails are sending. Okay,
can we agree on that? All right? Wonderful? Eight eight

(44:27):
eight nine three four seven eight seven four. The US
Olympic Committee has a changed the parameters for athletes. I'm
happy for this. This is this is what we call
common sense changes right here. But I don't know how
this pertains to other countries. And if the Olympics is
still willing to not revoke the metal from that Algerian

(44:51):
boxer when it is now definitively proven that that person
is in fact not a woman, not even a hermaphrodite.
As people were sitting there claiming that's a dude. Then
you know, the US can only do what the US
can do. They could attempt to influence and I guess

(45:12):
we will see, but we'll give you a little more
on that. And uh yeah, the Ronda Santis stuff too.
We got to get in because again they are oh oh,
and I'm sorry this is what I because I grabbed
it after. Are you guys aware of what's going on
with one hundred million dollars that was raised as part
of the benefit concert for the Malibu fire victims, or

(45:35):
about Malibu and Palisades victims one hundred million dollars? This
this is shaping up to be one of This might
be I said this earlier about the Russia Gate thing,
and it might how it might be the biggest political
scandal of my lifetime. This might be the biggest charitable
scandal because you have all these fire victims who are

(45:59):
having the reaching out to the media because they're like,
we can't figure out how to apply for any of
this money. And so some investigative reporters, who by the way,
are not right wing, you know, weirdo as the media
would sit there and look upon them. These are investigative
reporters that that operate out of California, Southern California, who
are getting to the bottom of this. Local media is

(46:21):
having to cover it, and Gavin Newsom's office had to
issue multiple statements about it because what they've uncovered is
arguably criminal. We'll get into that much more coming up.
Casey O Day radio program. Let me grab a call
on the aussy slash alamos slash apparently comments I made
about Foxborough whatever. Yes, Donna, what's up.

Speaker 9 (46:43):
Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
I was just telling, just telling Ross that.

Speaker 10 (46:49):
You'd better have your health insurance in order if you're
going to go up and urinate on fendway to That's.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Hard to oppoligizz your jawn, Donna. Let me just point
out out to you. I want you to understand that
you are literally defending a stadium whose key most known
feature was included so that the poors couldn't watch. Okay,
that's if you don't or something. The poors, the poors,

(47:16):
the poor people, the whole The Green Monster, which should
be the Yellow Month. The Green Monster was was a
wall that was built so poor people off Lansdowe Street
didn't have a view of what was going on in
the stadium from their elevated buildings. If people don't know that,
go ahead and pick it up. I'm correct.

Speaker 8 (47:35):
Hey, you want to take the ride, you got to
buy the ticket.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, you know what a lot
of you know what, people had a lot of money
in back in the nineteen twenties or late teens and
early twenties. Yeah. Money.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Absolutely. Now we're going to put a wall. We can't
have people in the middle of wartime where their uncles
just got mustard gas catching a view of our baseball
team for free. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't want that.

Speaker 9 (48:04):
They wanted.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Yeah, that's why. Actually, that's why Babe Route demanded a trade.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Yeah, that's what.

Speaker 6 (48:13):
The brat.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
Bi weekly? Is it bi weekly? I always get these confused.
Bi weekly means every two weeks instead of it's not
twice in a week, which which anyway my brain. So anyway,
bi weekly conversation with the congressman and former prosecutor, which
is gonna be very useful because we gotta talking about
the Rushi Gate stuff and the Epstein stuff, because they

(48:35):
both have a lot of questions that are definitely in
his wheelhouse. Oh, I forgot to mention one. That'll be
an eight oh five. By the way, I forgot to
mention one thing with the ossy thing, and that was
the worst tweet on the ossy thing by any known
person yesterday, which was summarily then deleted and fixed. Andrew
yan Ross. Did you see Andrew Yang's tweet to commemorate

(48:58):
Ozzy the form presidential candidate and h one d enthusiasm?

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Yes, I did.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Yeah, he wrote rip Ozzy Osbourne a true American original
praying hands heart American flag.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
And then he did fix it.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
He did, he did. But you know, the internet's fast,
especially when he's somebody who likely there are journalists, because
there are a lot there's there are ways that you
can just capture every tweet and they have literally systems
to do that, and if you're a high profile person,
the moment it hits.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
But it's crazy because he has a blue check so
he just you know, he did the edit, so yeah,
you could see.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
The old original.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
He could have just deleted it and the rerun.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
I look, I appreciate. I think that it's more transparent
to leave the original and edit even though people are
going to capture it. Bat I battle with stuff like
how do you cause I've taken post down where other
information has come out, and I don't want people to
get the wrong impression, Like I actively do try to
to do that. And I always battle with, well, we
don't have the blue check, but if we did, would

(50:01):
it be better to edit it if you caught it
fast enough?

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Obviously, I think it's overthinking it. I mean, I delete
stuff just because I want to delete stuff. There's been
times where I'm like, I don't like that post and
then take it down and then yeah, I mean be like,
well did you take the post down? I'm like, why
does it matter? It's a postman, it's Twitter who came.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Well, there's one thing. If you take it down, you're like, oh,
I don't think that's worded real well or things. But
it's another thing where you realize you're wrong and you
may have it is especially if you're a journalism account
or your your accounts is your account. You do whatever
you want. But if you're if you're like the Washington Post,
here's this is what I mean. Like, if you're the
Washington Post website and you and you reported something that
was very erroneous, like can you just you just pretend

(50:40):
it didn't happen, because by now that thing's been around
the world five times.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Sure, if you're like a big news network, yeah, probably
putting out a correction is important.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Right, Yes, that's that's where I would approach.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
But I take stuff down just because I want to
take it down. There's sometimes there's no rhyme or reason
for I'm like, I don't like where that comment is,
I'm taking it down.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
I'll tell you, Yeah, I'll take stuff down when the
comments I'm getting are all dumb you know what I'm saying,
or or it started so because I just don't want
to get tagged in a thousand.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Times A good way to clean to cleanse your notifications
of like negativity.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
By the way, how you and I both had the
same question over the weekend. I noticed you actually you
wrote it out. How is it that we're getting tagged
in so much stuff? Are are people able to do
this now through groc or something I'm unaway.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
You ask Rock for like stuff and Groc ends up
tagging you. So there is a way to block GROC,
But then you can't use it as like a search engine,
so that sucks.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Yeah, man, but people are harassing people by using Rock
to tag them too. But let's turned into a new
form of harassment.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Andrey Yang brings up a good point. I mean Ozzy
Osbourne legendary American, right.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Yeah, true American. Originally it led to the.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Question who's the bigger English who's the bigger American band?

Speaker 6 (51:53):
Right? Is it?

Speaker 2 (51:53):
The Beatles are Oasis?

Speaker 1 (51:55):
I don't know, that's a good point. Well you forget yeah,
the Rolling Stones too, so that in there.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
No, I mean, according to the people, the young people
on X or whatever, you know, I say that now
because I'm apparently super old or whatever. You're like, Oasis
is the greatest band ever exists. No one's every even
cool close? What don't Yeah, it's all because they were
giving those concerts. They're you know, they're on tour now,
I know, like the greatest band ever. Apparently no one's
come close in their peak and yeah, so dumb. Oh

(52:24):
the set list? Has anyone ever seen a better set
list than Oasis?

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Yes? Yes, yeah, yeah, I saw. I went to a
Joe Cocker concert.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
They all right, but they played Wonderwall man. Oh, dude,
beats ever played wonder Wall with Joe Cocker A surprise?

Speaker 1 (52:39):
What a surprise? Yeah, dude, you guys have no idea
like even the musical moments. I don't know, maybe we're
looking at in the reverse opposite right where we're just
being old and stodgy, like they even the like the
biggest musical moments sucked now compared to what they used
to be. Like Michael Jackson being drug up on stage

(53:02):
to dance and sing with Diana Ross randomly and then
laying down one of the best covers of what was
upside Down whatever whatever her big hits was. That's like,
you remember when that fan climbed a crane in Korea
to be up there with Michael Jackson and he held
on to him. Now, to be fair, it was a
young fan, uh, and that created an iconic music moment.

(53:22):
Ozzy Osboord bite that bat's head off. Man. I'm not
saying they're all good. I'm just saying you're never going
to forget them. What's the biggest iconic music moment in
the last five years? Liz o playing the flute? I'm serious. Ross.
Can you think of won in the in the in
the last ten years that outpaces some of the music,
the insane musical moments that go along with this.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
I don't think so. But like I said, I don't
know if I'm the best person to ask, because I'm
sort of lee. I'm I'm in my zone. You know,
you get older and you're like music stops up to
a certain point, you know what I mean? Like all
the music I listened to now is like the music
I listened to in the nineties in high school. That's
like what I listened over the eighties.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
I don't know. The difference is you have to look forward,
they have to look back, which is easier for you
obviously looking forward because you're psychic. But looking back, well.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
I think Oasis said about don't look back in anger.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
You know, dude, I'm sitting there, I'm in high school
listening to Joe Walsh, right, So, yeah, you do not
want to like my musical taste, are We're.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Well because we had our parents and our parents who
listening to the fifties and sixties, right, so we are
familiar with that music as well as our own.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Yeah, yeah, no, it was I play Little Feet. One
of my favorite bands was Little Feet. Do you know
any little Feet songs? And its feet spelled feat and
also there's been about twenty different versions of Little Feet,
But I followed in my whole life. Man, love that stuff.
So all right, Well, people can like what they like.

(54:45):
But some of us are right and some of us
are wrong.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
My buddy was in the car with his kid, my
buddy Michael, who I'm going to buldoze his house, m
m And you know, he's like a young daughter named
Ella and she's wonderful. And she was with her friends
and they had some they were playing. I think it was,
you know, Smashing Pumpkins or something came.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
On the radio.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Yeah, and uh, you know, Michael turned it up and
then the daughter's friend was like, oh, I know this song.
And he's like, O, how do you know it? They're like, oh,
I know a lot of oldies songs good. And it's
like that hurts you though, it punches you in the guy.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
I understand, I understand. You know. I had somebody, I
had somebody refer to Offspring as oldies in front of me.
I'm like, had heard, had heard? Man, remember how big
Offspring was in our high school years? Oh yeah, oh geez.
And she referred to it as oldies. I'm like, what

(55:35):
is go away from me now? But what are you
talking about? But yeah, look it all gets there. You
just got to kind of roll with it, but yeah,
I'm just trying to think if there's been a bigger
music but the Oasis thing kills me. It's not to say,
if you like Oasis, go out and like Oasis, but
to pretend that they're the biggest band ever.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
No, And it's to be fair, it's a great set
list when you see like what they're doing, what they're
at core with, but like you know, it's the greatest
set list of all time and you can't find anyone
to pair. I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Yeah, yeah, so we'll see now with Andrew Yang. To
be fair, maybe he thought Ozzie was got a H
one B replacement for the big Bopper or something. I
don't know. And I know he's he's really he kind
of lost his mind over all that stuff as well.
But yeah, not a good look, bro, good look at all?
All right, Roger, you know who my favorite your solo singer,

(56:25):
American icon solo singer is though, right, and I probably
talked about it. I talked about this guy incessantly. Come on,
you know who it is?

Speaker 2 (56:33):
I know, I don't know CI yeah a Si yeah there.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. So now I arguably the
way that guy enters the stage is pretty unique.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
No, no, that's fun because I saw a thread yesterday
and ax where you know, and I didn't know we're
gonna talk about this, but there the theme of the
thread was most iconic musical moments in all of musical history.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Okay, it was perfect.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
It was like the top ten moments and number ten
or whatever was SI with the latch on the stage.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty cool to watch if you've ever
seen it. Yeah, I happen to. I don't know if
I saw that thread, but I saw this. Maybe it
was part of the thread. I didn't look at the
rest of them.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Though, But once again, is that really top ten all
time or whatever?

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Side I don't know. I again, I really didn't take
in the whole thing. I was just reminded how he
comes on stage and then does get Gongham style or
Dingham style or whatever. That song was that earworm, So
we'll see. I understand it's raised age. It's favorite song.
I don't know if people know this, And oh Ross,
we're gonna have to put Gongham Style on the the

(57:34):
Polka playlist for one of the upcoming up I mean,
if we have to if we have to. What's going on?
That's a little bit of a harder one. You did
the rude Sandstar. I don't want to hear it. You're
all ready to go for this week?

Speaker 11 (57:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Yeah, yeah, which walk on? Do we go where?

Speaker 4 (57:55):
I don't?

Speaker 1 (57:55):
I don't know yet. Then you say, Hulk Hogan, Yeah, Ross,
you got to select one. So he's got a day
or two lead time on this.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Yeah, Oh no, I was. I was gonna send it
like two minutes before.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Yeah, Ross, come on to your job, man, to your job.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
I was gonna send it two minutes before. Is that
none of that?

Speaker 7 (58:12):
Yeah, No, that's plenty of time.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Beethoven could do it. What's your problem?

Speaker 4 (58:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (58:17):
Right, anyways, what's going on? Many? You know?

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Yeah, just kind of living the dream?

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Right?

Speaker 7 (58:24):
How about ninety instead of close to one hundred again yesterday,
mid upper eighties, ninety degrees from the Triad to the
triangle and behind this front still the air mass gonna
keep us in the upper eighties to maybe ninety degrees
the next couple of days. But hang on, I've been
talking about it all week. Summer is not over. With
small storm chances through tomorrow and then Friday, we'll start

(58:47):
getting back to the low to mid nineties, then mid
and upper nineties coming back as we look at toward
the weekend, so it looks like we're back into the heats.
The ridge builts back in even into early next week,
sunny and hot, starting from let's just say, between ninety
two and ninety nine depending on where you are through Tuesday.
So going into another stretch of real hot stuff, dry

(59:10):
stuff too. So next couple of days we stay like
the way we are. We start and talk about maybe
needing a little bit of rainfall towards the early part
of next week, but none of the forecast, nothing of
any significance anyway, So hunker dad, enjoy the next couple
of days of seasonal temperatures. But as I mentioned, the
big heat is coming back.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Okay, all right, well that sucks, but we'll do what
we can, thank you very much, and we'll come back,
all right. I'll get to that. I'm gonna get to
the charitable thing, because that's a douzy and you should
be informed on that. So we'll do that. And I
got Mother of the Year for you, or at least
a contender. And who I wasn't even aware this movie

(59:49):
was a thing that was out, so we'll get it
all for you. Plus Congressman Brad Not at eight oh
five coming up. Hang on, this is turning more and
more into a mainstream story because it's so outrageous. I
don't know how you ignore it. And even Gavin Newsom's
office has had to weigh in on this. And this
has to do with the benefit concert that took place

(01:00:13):
following the fires Malibu Palisades and points nearby, and it
raised one hundred million dollars. It was it was actually
a couple, you know, a couple of different venues with
having the concerts. I think there was over fifty big,
big artists that did this. It was much larger even
than even though the event that that we had here
that took place in Charlotte was was very very successful.

(01:00:38):
This was that on steroids because you're in the middle
of the entertainment industry. Okay, So one hundred million dollars
was raised, and yes, there you know, it's a drop
in the bucket compared to when the total damages. But
remember the damage the damage numbers that you're going to
see there, just due to the sheer value of most
of those big homes is going to grow that number

(01:00:59):
xp actually, but one hundred million dollars can go a
long way for people who don't have those big homes,
who maybe don't have a much better insurance policy that
they're going to be able to use and are going
to be put in very much financial peril. This would
go a long way to help them. The problem is
it's not. And so some reporters finally, after getting calls

(01:01:23):
from you know, readers and whatnot and listeners and viewers
going I can't even figure out how to apply for
this money, started to look into it and what they
found is very scummy. So first it was a success.
And by the way, I'm going to go from the
Yahoo News article, which is not a right wing thing,
so you can look it up as well. So the

(01:01:45):
fires that erupted blah blah blah, gave a little background
talk about the number of structures built. Okay, So you
had events about the Intuit Dome and at the key
of forum. Okay, it was thirty artists. I exaggerated fifty
million viewers in twenty eight different ways that it was broadcast.
One hundred million dollar hall. That's all right, that's pretty good.
So this is when people went, hey, I could use

(01:02:07):
some of that money. My house got burned. How do
I apply? And they couldn't figure it out. So reporters
started to look into it, and they figured out that
technically the organization that put the fire thing on is
not They wasn't the governor's office or the mayor's office.
It's an independent charity. Okay. They then took the monies
that were raised and they turned it over to a

(01:02:29):
really shadowy company called the Annenberg Foundation or foundation who
was tasked with managing the funds. And then they tried
to just talk to them, and it went on for weeks.
They nobody would talk to them, and eventually finally the
reporters got a hold of the chief comms officer who
started to break it down for him. It told them

(01:02:53):
that rather than the money being distributed directly, they were
going to distribute it to several nonprofits affiliated with the
Annenberg Foundation. The problem is when they finally got they
finally figured out who these nonprofits are. Most of them
have very little to do with fire. El Nido, Visiony Compromiso,
a home grown LA's home for Native people. These are

(01:03:17):
who was getting the money, and they distributed and that's
just the first fifty million. They have yet to distribute.
The other fifty million. They just basically gave it to
a bunch of woke deice things. And by the way,
the foundation is doing the distributing their actual charitable distribution
as an average, you know, if they go to like
charity finder or watch or whatever one of those sites,

(01:03:40):
they only thirty three percent of the monies that they
get is actually used and distributed for charitable The rest
goes into overhead, a fundraising, a variety of other things.
So now you're nicking away at that as well. But yeah,
they basically decided just to then channel it through It's
it's it's money laundering for all practical purpose. Is it mirrors?

(01:04:00):
You know what at mirrors ross the USAID stuff, it
would go, you know, we get the money for to
help the AIDS people and you know whatever African nation.
Now you find out what the twenty eight different organizations
and less than ten cents out of a dollar actually
made it to people with AIDS. That's what they did
with these fire funds. This is fraud. In my opinion,

(01:04:22):
every one of those people who donated that one hundred
million dollars thought that they were giving to fire victims,
and they clearly, clearly, while some of it may trickle through,
it clearly is not what has advertised. What an absolute
what absolute lunacy? All right? Oh crap, we gotta call
all right, real quick, Jay, I got real quick. I
got less than a minute.

Speaker 11 (01:04:42):
All right, Well, what you're talking about. All I can
think about is the road to hell is paved with
good intentions.

Speaker 6 (01:04:48):
The money laundering and all lead.

Speaker 11 (01:04:50):
But I meant to tell you I'll talk to you
some other time. But I've been texting we tolthy god
who was? I had a picture with her husband, and
I texted, what a lucky man you are. It got
posted all over social media, and Tocy Gavitt her self
contacted me, and I contact her back, and I said,
with your position of power, bring back Edward Snowden. He's

(01:05:11):
an American hero and he deserves to be brought back
with honors. And I'll leave it at that. I'll catch
up with you later on, Casey, take.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
Care, okay, all right? Every minute in our current political environment,
there is lunacy of foot delpus makes sense of it
is Congressman Brad Not, He joins us this morning and
he gets to swimming it up in d C. How
you doing, Hey, Kathy, good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
I'm doing fine. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
You don't have to name names, but are there moments
where you, honestly, just for a moment, consider lacrosse or
whether it's across the isle or even within your own party,
and you're just like, I'm working with crazy people. They
absolutely diagnosed sociopathic people, because it has to happen, right.

Speaker 6 (01:05:52):
Well, thoughts of similar of similar types that cross my mind.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Sure, okay, And so imagine that it looks like for
us because you get to at least see how they
act when they're not in front of a camera. But boy,
a lot of them love the camera. And I see
that Nancy Pelosi's pulling up with something she wants to do.
We'll get into that here in just a moment, but
I got to start with the with the big thing,
and then we'll get into some of the immigration stuff,
because I know you're working on some stuff, and I'm

(01:06:20):
really curious on these items for your I keep, I
keep leaning into your former career as a prosecutor, but
I think it's very, very valuable, even though there's lots
of lawyers up there I think from the prosecution side,
the Russia Gate thing, you have people predicting that they're
going to pur block Barack Obama to nothing's going to

(01:06:40):
come of this. Weigh in on the information released by
Tulsi Gabbard and how important do you think that is
and where you think this is going.

Speaker 6 (01:06:52):
You know, it's it's it's one of those things. Kasey,
let me start at the top. I have not gone
through these materials in great detail. I'm sure that we
will be reached on them in the in the coming days.
But the basic premises I understand it is that there was,
in a very basic level, a intent and a desire

(01:07:13):
to manipulate intelligence information to trip up the Trump administration.
And this was designed and carried out during the time
in which President Trump was preparing to come into office,
while he was the president elect, and there was there
was an immediate and inconsistent switch from the intelligence briefings

(01:07:35):
and the sort of the trend lines that had been
Russia was not involved to Russia was deeply involved, to
the point that they probably materially affected the outcome. And
it was a an effort that was designed to delegitimize
President Trump. And again there's got there has to be
a lot of very careful detail played in this review.

(01:07:57):
There's got to be a lot of very scrupulous you know,
information gathering, because whenever you make accusations at this level,
facts and people and what exactly happened must be pursued.
And uh, you know, throwing around broad broad strokes that
that's that's a very risky proposition, and we can't afford

(01:08:19):
to do that. But if any part of it is true,
it must be flushed out to prevent it from happening again.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
All right, let me let me arms your lawyer. I'm
not a lawyer, but this is, as I understand, it's
something that a prosecutor may look for and that are
definable overt acts in furtherance of what they're attempting to do.
Is that a fair way to say?

Speaker 6 (01:08:38):
Sure, sure, okay, if there's basically, if there's if there's
a way to explain something with an innocent explanation or
a way to explain something with a criminal or an
overt or a nefarious explanation that doesn't rise to the
level of a criminal offense, it has to that's that's
not beyond a reasonable doubt. If there's either or it
has to be fairly certain. They went down with content

(01:09:01):
knowing and a specific outcome that they know is wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Because being stupid is a defense, right.

Speaker 6 (01:09:08):
That's correct. Yeah, that's correct.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Yeah, it's off. It's used too often because when I
see people trying to hang their hat on one particular
briefing that Obama was set and scheduled to receive. In
that briefing, they were going to provide evidence that Russia,
this Russia thing is is not it really does. Look
does Russia? Does Russia medal in elections? Yes? Do we yes?

(01:09:31):
Does China? Yes? The question is does it move the needle?
And the amount of spending on Facebook that they brought
forward with Russia compared to what you guys raise and
spend for your campaigns, it ain't even close. But that
briefing was then called off after the White House was
kind of told what it was going to be. And
people think that's a smoking gun, and they they'll just

(01:09:53):
say they called it off because the President had a
cold or was busy. Right.

Speaker 6 (01:09:58):
Well, again, I haven't gone through the facts of these
briefings yet and how it lay to that, but that's
generally what I understand it to be and they do
you know if this, if any sumpance of it is true.
The American people are owed in explanation and put people
under oaths. Review the paperwork, get people to explain it.
If there's contradictions in the explanations, those should be fleshed out.

(01:10:20):
But I will say this, one of the things that
we do know is that a piece of fiction that
was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign was foundational
in the investigatory efforts into President Trump and that sort
of artisan deadfellow with the intelligence agency and a Democrat campaign.

(01:10:42):
That is perhaps the most troubling component that no one
talks about anymore. And it was the Russian Dosier and
she sped, yeah, she she sponsored that piece of literature.
It was it was complete fiction, and it was used
as a hatchet to go after the trumpetministration and the
duly elected president of the United States. And this type

(01:11:04):
of this type of activity, it is unbelievably damaging and
removing confidence in the American institutions. And uh, you know,
we we've got to pursue it in an objective, above
board way.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
The manipulation of the Pfiser Ward two is very problematic,
where they double they double source the same thing, which
is highly illegal, and people already don't trust secret courts right.

Speaker 6 (01:11:28):
With good reason. When you have things like this that happen,
it's terrible. I mean, in case, if I had done
this in the court that I practiced before, for a
wire to have for something else, which I did, I
would have probably lost my law license, if not having
been prosecuted. If I, if I, if I was so
reckless and so dishonest in an appidavit, which is nothing
more than a sworn statement, you swear that it is

(01:11:51):
accurate to the best of your knowledge, and when you
had these types of manipulations at the highest level of surveillance,
so that means there's that have been more scrutiny apply
applied to the STAFFI David, it's it's it's it's more
troubling than I could ever articulate in this interview.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
All right, let me let me pivot here, because I
want to get all three of these things in. It said,
sounds like Maxwell is going to meet with the d
o J. Underlean, I guess the Assistant Attorney General or
one of them.

Speaker 6 (01:12:20):
Understand.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
Yeah, Now, talk about how much credence because anytime you're
discussing perhaps knocking some any benefit for that person. Immediately,
you know, then there's a question are they saying this
because it's true? Are they saying this because they want
to be in prison five less years? So how do
you approach that?

Speaker 6 (01:12:38):
You know, that's one of the things that that I
really regret for this particular case, that Juan Maxwell was
not subjected to a courtroom. Her most valuable time to
to to assist the authorities would have been as a
testifying witness. And when you're a testifying witness, you have

(01:12:59):
to go through a very rigorous examination, both cross examination
and direct examination, and the materials that she's relying upon
or handed over to the defense council with the prosecution,
and there's a very there's a very real scrubbing effect,
so to speak, to determine if she's being truthful and
right now it's a problem because again the incentives could

(01:13:22):
be perverse. See the previous conversation where information has them
manipulated at the very highest levels of our government. Who
has gotten to miss Maxwell? How is how can we
scrutinize what she says? Will she be willing to subject
herself to a parentphanesip a polygraph or uh, you know,
a very scrupulous cross examination under oath. I don't know

(01:13:44):
what what the plan is here, uh to do it,
but it is fairly late. Jeffrey Epstein has died. How
can we verify what if anything she says is true?
That's a real question.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Well, that's what the look that's what they want to
look for, right, information that she provides they can independently
verify that they may not have been aware of the
first time. I'm assuming that that's the gold standard what
they're looking for from her, not just speculation and names.

Speaker 6 (01:14:08):
Okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Okay, all right, let me pivot over to this as well.
I saw down in Florida at the Alligator Alcatraz they're
upset that they're not getting toasted sandwiches. Some of your colleagues,
including Washerman Schultz, decided to go in there, and she
made some pretty stark claims. Then she said it was
all sanitized. I understand that that's par for the course

(01:14:30):
with this stuff. But are you comfortable with how things
are happening down there at Alligator Alcatraz as well as
the immigration and what do you work?

Speaker 6 (01:14:40):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
Because I noticed you and I think the congressman from Oklahoma,
I have your own thing you're doing. So let's where
are you.

Speaker 6 (01:14:47):
At in order? The Democrats are fighting for any process
they can originate, they can throw, to keep any immigrant
from being deported. They don't want a nominal, they don't
want an illegal, they don't want a convicted fellon. They
don't want to They want everyone to remain in this
country and to go down there and raise concerns about

(01:15:11):
how the people at Alligator Aplatraz are being treated, saying
they have to use the restroom in the same place
that they sleep. That's what that's what proves.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Where they brush their teeth. Congressman, you know, I.

Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
Mean, it's just it's it's outrageous. And they, you know,
they claim about quote quote due process, which is absurd.
Due process is being adhere to. They are they are
following perfect protocol here. And what they really want is
infinite process. They want infinite process for twenty thirty forty
million illegals to ensure that they stay here. There was

(01:15:44):
no process to check the massive amounts of illegals that
came into this country except if you get here, you stay.
And now when President Trump is trying to clean up
the mess. They are fighting with everything they had have
to keep those illegals here. If they had fought this
for the open against the open border, we would not
have an illegal immigration problem. It's unbelievably inverted. The Democratic

(01:16:07):
Party's priorities with immigration needs to get fixed. It's one
of the biggest mysteries I've ever seen. The American people
are with the president. If you are here legally, we
welcome you. If you came illegally, leave and try again.
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
That's this is about. This is about congressional delegations too.
People need to be.

Speaker 6 (01:16:28):
Question about that. Yeah, and so my you know what
my bill did is it recognized that illegal re entry
the the the crime for illegal reinjury. So if you're
deported and then you come back a second time illegally,
there is no teeth in that law. And to have
an actual deterrent, you've got to convict someone of a

(01:16:48):
serious crime. And so what that basically means in practical
sense is for me to go after someone as a
federal prosecutor here illegally a second, third, tenth time, I
would have to wait for them to emit a crime
that I could prove, and that victimizes Americans, that hurts
our communities. It gives them a long runway to commit
grievous crimes. And this bill that I'm working on, it says,

(01:17:11):
if you're back here a second time, third time, tenth time,
especially with criminal convictions on your record, the only thing
that we're going to punish is your presence here. If
you're here illegally and you're a criminal, that's it. I
don't have to wait for you to harm an American
before I really go after you at serious prison time.
And the effect of that is it'll be more efficient

(01:17:33):
to charge, It'll be a greater deterrent for any illegal
who's here to commit crimes, and they hopefully will stop coming.
I talk to these people who come back and they
told me, Casey, they said, why wouldn't I come back
to this country?

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
I agree, no fear willing to hear. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:17:49):
And so what this does is that it amends the
cost benefit analysis to being a very heavy cost to
come back illegally. And if that, if this law has passed,
it will serve as a de time. So I'm hopeful
we should get it out of the House after the
August recess and then we'll we'll go to the Senate
and try to get it across the board there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
How is that not common sense? You need to see
it in other things too, Like there's a there was
a video that went viral. These two young women who
walked into the store target or so, I don't know where.
It was some story which they had shoplifted a dozen
times and they could and they finally got arrested and
they couldn't believe it. And what had happened is these
stories were getting smarter, so they were cataloging people when

(01:18:30):
they come through, and then they'd wait till it hit
a dollar amount, and then they were they were arresting them.
And but their their excuse was everybody does it. Nobody
gets arrested. And it's like, why is deterred? Such as
an unknown concept to so many in our criminal justice
system and our wholes of Congress and state legislatures.

Speaker 6 (01:18:50):
Well, in Congress, I can tell you very few people
have had familiarity with the criminal justice system. I'm the
I think I'm the only federal prosecutor. Uh And the
entire Congress, at least on the done the Republicans, I
know there's at least one, maybe on the Democrat side,
but knowledge of how the system works, how the grand
jury system works, how integral all of that is. It's
very very rare, and people don't understand how an illegal

(01:19:15):
re entry statute being so weak is a problem. I
saw it. I talked to these illegals who said, why
wouldn't I come back when the most you can hit
me with is two years. That means from the time
they're arrested until the time their case is resolved, they
can fire two lawyers that you pay for. Casey eighteen
months passes, they plead guilty, and they're either released or deported.

(01:19:37):
There's no teeth to it. And so what I would
do as a prosecutor is I would wait until I
could prove a drug offensive violent offense, and that I
would really go out from for that. But what does
that mean. That means that they're here at fifth time
illegally and they had to harm an American before I
throw them in jail for a long time. That's terrible.
So this bill, it changes it to your illegal presence

(01:19:58):
on a repeated basis that is the crime. I'm not
waiting for you to harm an American. Don't come back here. Illegally,
and so hopefully it'll get across.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
The finish line last ninety seconds. The allegations from the
left or that you guys are going to be taking
this big congressional break, you're doing it so you don't
have to deal with the Epstein stuff. Pelosi is going
to be proposing something. Why are you guys taking a break?
What do you respond to that?

Speaker 6 (01:20:22):
Traditionally, August has always been sourced called August recess. It
sends the entire Congress back to their districts to meet
with stakeholders, to meet with businesses and constituents, and to
work from our district offices. Some will stay in Washington.
I'll be working on this bill across the Senate. But
it really it pauses the legislative calendar to send us
back home. It's nothing new. And Nancy Pelosi has been

(01:20:44):
the Speaker of the House for twenty plus years. She's
been a leader in this town for as long as
I've been alive. For her to all of a sudden
be focused on Epstein could not be more disingenuous. It
is so political, it demote any type of principle, and
I've I have about had it with the Democrat saying
that we're the steam party. They've been in power for

(01:21:04):
so long and have never touched it, and the President
has done more to try to release it. There's a
circulation going around where we're trying to get a principled
way to get the material out. But Nanthew Filisi has
had a thousand opportunities.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
Yes, all right, yeah, I'm sorry to cut you off
their congressman, but taking about ten seconds. So thank you
very much, and you know, whatever in sanity will exist
in the next two weeks, we'll talk that.

Speaker 6 (01:21:28):
Okay, great, thanks Katie.

Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
All Right, there you go. Congressman Brad not here on
the Cacoda Radio program, hang on a phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Just
a little more on the Russia Gate stuff. Let's go
to some statements from Trump yesterday. Had not played these
yet and as I got the DeSantis audio, so we oh, well,
we'll make fun of Harry Sisson and Jeff Daniels. So

(01:21:51):
let's try to just burn through as much of this
as we can. So yeah, with the Russia Gate stuff,
and that's why I want to ask the congressman about
it because some of the examples, like the one I
gave or they were going to do this briefing, and
in the briefing was going to be revealed that Russia
really didn't influence the election. And then all of a sudden,
the Obama's schedule got busy, and so they didn't do

(01:22:14):
the briefing because he didn't want to have it in
any sort of official capacity that he was told this
is the theory. But also they could just say he
got busy. So I mean, there's going to have to
be some there there. That's why I'm just very cautiously
just going through this and we'll wait and see how
it pans out, and whatever happens happens, and we'll talk
about it. So here's Trump talking about it.

Speaker 8 (01:22:36):
Yes, the which shut that you should be talking about
is they caught President Obama absolutely called Chelsea Gabbert what
they did to this country and twenty sixteen, starting in
twenty sixteen, but going up all the way going up
to twenty twenty in the election, they tried to rig
the election. Then they got caught and there should be

(01:22:58):
very severe consequences for that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:00):
You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, you
know what, let's not let's not go too far.

Speaker 8 (01:23:05):
Here it's the ex wife of a president, and I
thought it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
Was yeah, hold on, see this is this is again,
this is Trump. Did he say let's not go too
far or did he say on the stage, whether we're
debating that you'd be in jail and then the lock
her up stuff, which is, okay, a lot of people
agreed with you, but let's not. Let's not pretend here.

Speaker 8 (01:23:27):
Okay, all nice, sort of terrible, and I let her
off the hook, and I'm very happy I did.

Speaker 4 (01:23:34):
But it's time to start after what they did to me.

Speaker 8 (01:23:38):
And whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go
after people.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
Obama's been caught directly.

Speaker 8 (01:23:45):
So people say, oh, you know a group, It's not
a group, it's Obama. His orders are on the paper,
the papers are signed. The papers came right out of
their office. They sent everything to be highly classified. Well
the highly classified it has been released. And what they
did twenty sixteen and in twenty twenty is very criminal.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
It's criminal at the highest level.

Speaker 1 (01:24:07):
Okay, all right, and he's correct in the sense of
the Obama Obama then decided to assign that level of classification.
I'm sure they'll try to explain that as well, but
we'll see. It does have me wondering, like, how if
you're the Democrats and you like the reason Tulci Gabbard's
in there with a big old chip on her shoulder

(01:24:29):
is because you guys threw her to the wolves man
like she had. She went slightly off the reservation or
the preferred Democrat talking points, and you just you threw
the baby out with the bathwater. And now she's kind
of your worst nightmare at this moment with this thing.
And I know what people are saying, Well, then somebody
else in there could have done it as well. Well

(01:24:50):
they didn't. The guy who's the director of the CIA,
who was smiling the other day during the Ukraine thing,
oddly is John Ratliffe, who during the first Trump administr
we interviewed him like twice on the show, had Polsey's
job the director of National Intelligence. He didn't do it.
John Durham that he missed a bunch of stuff. So

(01:25:12):
maybe it took somebody as motivated as she is. I
don't know, but that's that's partially a self inflicted wound.
You lunatic.

Speaker 8 (01:25:19):
Now, Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was
right there with him, and so was sleeping Joe Biden,
and so with the rest of them, call me Clapper,
the whole group. And they tried to rig an election,
and they got caught. And then they did rig the
election in twenty twenty. And then because I knew I
won that election by a lot, I did it a

(01:25:41):
third time and I won in a landslide. Every swing
state won the popular vote, but I won that all
the same way in twenty twenty. And look at the
damage that was cost.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
Yeah, so you know this is there's going to be
a whole bunch that they want to dive into. My
only advice is they're going to have to get one
thing at a time, because if not, you're gonna people
just don't have the capacity. Maybe not everybody, I shouldn't
say people don't clearly, especially those who choose to inform
themselves by you know, taking in a lot of news
or talk radio or whatever it is. Uh, you know,

(01:26:13):
you can chew on, you know, three or four bones
at a time, but if you really want to make
a dent, considering there are so many people that are
in that mushy middle who don't do politics. Again, Ross
and I talk about this all the time, meeting somebody
who has no clue about any of the politics is
makes us extremely jealous, extremely jealous some of the stuff

(01:26:34):
Ross's wife says to him, I am so jealous of her.
It's just like, oh, I wish I didn't know who
that was either, Like that's what I want some days.
But so, but the American public runs the gamut, and
if you really want to you have to it has
to be so look like illegal immigration. What do you think, Ross,

(01:26:56):
what do you think moved the needle most on illegal immigration?

Speaker 4 (01:27:00):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:27:00):
Where?

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
Uh? The the polling on it went so drastically the
other way. I think it was. I think it was
one simple thing that they kept doing over and over again,
busting people, dropping people not from the border towns in Texas, because.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Yeah, suddenly these people up north were like, oh, this
is what you're dealing with.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
This is what you're doing. This is no this is
a small slice of what you're dealing with.

Speaker 6 (01:27:22):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Yeah, if your ego past Texas, it's it's it's you
wouldn't even believe it. And so now you drop my
Martha's vineyard, you put them in Chicago, you put you know,
you take people all these different areas, and all of
a sudden, people have had enough people in New York
City getting moto the moto coachos Robinham a little motorcycle,
a little look if you're on vacation in a lot

(01:27:44):
of places in Latin America and in Southeast Asia where
they where they have a large amount of people to
drive these little motorcycles, that's a pretty common occurrence. And
so if you think they're not going to parlay that
money making endeavor into the US, you're crazy, man. And
so you got to be able to You got to
be able to reach the people in the middle where
it actually impacts their lives, and you have to explain

(01:28:06):
to them and make the case on these individual things
why this is. This is problematic and it's going to
be more uphill because it's so long ago, whereas the
illegal immigration issue is in your face every day when
you stepped outside of your house, and that was that
was probably this that was one of the smartest things
that was done. Russ. Do you remember waking up to

(01:28:26):
that news cycle that they just dumped sixty illegal immigrants
on Martha's vineyard and how crazy that sounded.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
I found it was. It was hilarious, and then you
oh yeah, oh one thousand percent you had the audio
of like getting the man in the street audio or
these people that had no idea, like they were like, oh,
you need to be bus these people out, send them
somewhere else. Yeah, because Vineyard, right, you know where they
politically lie.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
So it's like suddenly you're face to face with your
policies and you don't like it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Yeah, it's crazy how that works. And you know, sure enough,
sure enough that it moved the needle. Just you know
which simple pick sures from the southern border wasn't getting done.
And then you'll have to look. And you've also got
to shut up any of the celebrities. If you guys
haven't seen the Jeff Daniels interview, this man is clinically insane.
And I had no idea to the extent that he

(01:29:12):
was listen to what he says. By the way, about
Kamala Harris in this cut, and Liz Cheney for that matter,
how are you this disconnected?

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
I still think about Kamala and how I think she
would have been a good choice. I don't care what
they say, because she would have done what Lincoln did.
Liz Cheney would have been Secretary of State. Yeah, tema rivals.
Doris Kern's a good one, wrote the book about it.
Less what Lincoln did surrounded himself with the people who

(01:29:44):
would disagree with him, not the people who would, you know,
take a knee and go yeah, more tariffs, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
More. Okay, Well, there's three things. One, she's not Lincoln esque,
shut up. Two, he is under the impression that Liz
Cheney is the standard bearer for the Republican Party after
getting blown out in arguably the reddest state in the
country by thirty percentage no, thirty five percentage points within
a primary where she was the incumbent. So that's lunacy.

(01:30:12):
And the tariffs thing. Don't even get me started. Cut
number two because it just gets worse.

Speaker 3 (01:30:16):
It's the madness of King George and If and just
the deterioration of the Republican Party. I mean, look, I'm
just an actor.

Speaker 1 (01:30:25):
What do I know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
But when Mitch started stacking the courts twenty five years ago,
I said it on your show. Once it's they can
see it coming. The new America that is diverse and
treats everyone with equality and respect and dignity. You know,
kind of like Jesus did. We're ready for that, and

(01:30:51):
Mitch and company could see it coming. They were going
to be the minority, so they just started and then
here we are.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
The evoking of Jesus every time with these people is
just it is beyond me. Mitch McConnell starts stacking the courts.
You're right, not Harry Reid who blew out the the
Duke option, Absolutely right. Yeah, Jeff Daniels is crazy man.
And then so he's then he summarizes basically all of
these brilliant thoughts into it's about twenty five seconds, so

(01:31:22):
just let me just play this real quick. Then we'll
go to Ray and I don't know if he thinks
he's making it better or worse, but I don't know.
You be the judge, right, okay, well, not be sure,
I haven't thought of that. Okay? Is that it? Oh?

(01:31:50):
Not it again?

Speaker 4 (01:31:52):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:31:54):
Oh okay, little sweet little little extra point there at
the end. Now, Rossie, it's selling. He's making more sense
than that cut at least versus the other two. So
any who, All right, there you go, Jeff Daniels. That's
because that basically the summary is is more useful to
the world than the first two cuts, because at least
it made for a very funny movie. All right, race

(01:32:15):
age and can get to follow that?

Speaker 7 (01:32:17):
Well, thanks appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Well, Jeff Daniel shouldn't act like a lunatic, and then
I wouldn't have to play dumb and dumber? Right? Was
he dumb or dumber in the movie? We both No,
but one was it's dumb and dumber. Who's dumb and
who's dumber? Yes, I don't.

Speaker 7 (01:32:31):
Really recall I didn't pay attention to the fine details.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
No, because they're both lunatics. Yeah, politics, right right? Yeah? Anyway,
So what do you got weather wise?

Speaker 7 (01:32:42):
Dum more comfortable air. Let's just say where we should
be this time of year. So well, pretty good shape,
close to ninety, a little bit lower than that in
the triad triangle, be about ninety same thing tomorrow each day,
just very small chances to get a shower, thunder shower.
And I really don't think that anybody thought we were
out of the summertime he because it's coming back in
a big way again toward Friday and the weekend and

(01:33:04):
early next week. We're back well into the nineties, probably
between about ninety two and ninety six Friday, midupper nineties
for Saturday and Sunday, and back to the mid upper
nineties for Monday and Tuesday. More drive than wet plenty
more drive than over the next seven days as the
heat breaks briefly here again today tomorrow, seasonable attempts, and
then back well into the nineties starting Friday and through

(01:33:26):
at least Tuesday of next week.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
Bloomberg Update Now with Jeff Bellinger, Jeff, what's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
Well, Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 12 (01:33:33):
Looks like could be a strong start on Wall Street
this morning. The now futures are up two hundred and
thirty two points. Investors. Trade worries are easing some as
more deals fall into place. President Trump announced an important
one overnight in agreement with Japan. It calls for fifteen
percent terroriffs on Japanese cars and other products. Treasury Secretary

(01:33:54):
Scott Bessen described trade with China as being in a
very good place. He said he expects the current trade
truce with China to be extended beyond August twelfth, when
it is currently set to expire. Apple, looking to bring
in more subscription revenue, a new twenty dollars a month
insurance plan called Apple Care one was just announced this morning.

(01:34:15):
It will cover as many as three devices. The plan
includes battery replacements, twenty four hour support, and coverage for
accidental damage. Customers with more than three Apple devices can
pay six dollars a month for each additional product. Hershey
says it cannot fully absorb high cocoa prices any longer.
The candy maker is raising its prices to pass some

(01:34:37):
of the extra cost along to customers, and today, after
Coca Cola announced it will launch a new product made
with US cane sugar, there are concerns about what that
will mean for the nation's sugar supply. Bit of irony here,
since it was President Trump who pushed for this change.
Coke's plan could mean a big boost in demand for
a type of sugar that American farmers can't fully supply.

(01:35:00):
Coke could have to import sweetener from Mexico and Brazil,
and that sweetener would be subject to President Trump's new tariffs.
The federal agency in charge of the nation's nuclear weapons
reportedly among institutions and organizations that have been infiltrated by
hackers exploiting a flaw and the Microsoft SharePoint program, Microsoft
engineers are still working on patches to completely close the

(01:35:23):
door on the cyber criminals, and Casey, Amazon dot Com
has made an acquisition. The online retail giant bought a
wearable technology startup called b It's a California based company
that makes an AI bracelet called the Pioneer that records
and transcribes a user's activities. Amazon will extend job offers
to all of Bee's employees.

Speaker 4 (01:35:45):
That's part of the deal.

Speaker 1 (01:35:46):
Casey. All right, hey, Jeff, have yourself a good one. Well,
chat tomorrow, sir. Sounds good.

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
You have a good day too.

Speaker 6 (01:35:52):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
Jeff Ellinger from Bloomberg News, all right, two quick phone calls,
and I'm going to try to jam the at least
one story in thermon. You're up first, go right ahead.

Speaker 6 (01:36:03):
Yeah, Hey, Casey. So, I don't know if you guys noticed,
but that Trump audio really cracked me out. That he
called Hillary the ex wife of a president, not the
wife of an ex president.

Speaker 1 (01:36:14):
Yeah, okay, did he I didn't even catch that. I
just I thought it was enough insulting that he didn't
say former secretary of state or presidential candidate.

Speaker 10 (01:36:23):
So that was it.

Speaker 6 (01:36:25):
I thought, if it was a troll, it was it
was a pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
One, all right, love that. So yeah, yeah, yeah, Mark,
what's up?

Speaker 10 (01:36:35):
Stay good morning. The way, I don't know, way to
get that. This whole intelligence apparatus going after Trump out there,
I mean, it makes Watergate look like a clown car,
a broke down clown car. I mean to turn people
that can actually the FBI protect us from foreign intelligence services.
The CIA can probably dimble lights in the cities around
the world, and they can probably take down air traffic

(01:36:55):
control systems, and then they turn that on a political adversary.

Speaker 6 (01:36:59):
That's insane.

Speaker 1 (01:37:00):
Yeah, but it's got but you have to be able
to you have to get you have to share that
and have people connect with that and maybe you know,
it is complex.

Speaker 10 (01:37:09):
I watched I've read a lot of stuff on Revolver
News in a reason like accommodation of Shakespeare in the
Old Testament? Who begat Who? And it's confuting, But yeah,
it is a Revolver has some great stuff on it,
but it's complex. Like you said, it's tough to follow.

Speaker 1 (01:37:23):
Yeah, So we'll see if thanks for the call. We'll
see if they're able to do it, because that is
going to be a necessity, uh, to do this uh
Russ saw this. So apparently they just sold the rights
to the Fire Festival, so the whole brand, trademark, everything,
They put it on an eBay auction and just sold

(01:37:44):
it off. What do you think they got for it?
This wonderful ten thousand bucks? Uh quartermill? Actually, yeah, you
know they should have done is they should have sold
it to that other festival that burned down over the weekend.
You saw the pictures of that, just slap fire fed
on it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
But I said, what they should have done is they
should have kept doing it year after year and up
the anne of the awfulness, like made it horrible, you.

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
Know, like, yeah, people love that kind of stuff. And
I talked about that Haunted Thing the other day where
they beat the crap out of you. If there's a
waiting list, the diners with the rude waitresses you go
to in Vegas. Yeah thing and.

Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
Super rich people, right, they would pay to go to
this horrible thing to tell people they went to the
horrible thing. It'd become an experience. They could have profited
that way. I'm telling rich

Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
People love especially like rich leftists, they love slumming man
