Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What a day.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
It is, what a day is going to be. Because
I am not Graham Plantner, and that is what matters
to me. I would say Ross over under worst day
in politics for a Democrat since Robert Kennedy.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Oh man, if you had to choose man, uh hmm, maybe,
I mean I think he still has a shot.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
I mean, crazier things have happened. I dude, the news
cycle yesterday, I don't know what the hell was going on.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I mean, I appreciate it. I basically I didn't have
to lift a fame. Poor Ross had to dub everything
in this morning, and I feel bad for him, but
like the you know, the structuring of what's going to
be in the show today, Like normally I have to
feel that out and figure out what's out there kind

(00:58):
of okay, is this story with this story, maybe you know,
kind of pair those up.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
This audio will be good. Yesterday it was like just
was appearing before me.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Really now, other than to corral it enough to send
it to Ross to put in the prep packet or
for dubbing, I'd have to think about it. But I
did think about it a lot. In fact, it was
one of those days we don't usually normally do this.
Uh Pete Calendar and then uh Mark who hosts the

(01:33):
mornings for iHeart in Asheville. We were all texting each
other like teenage girls yesterday afternoon, and none of us
are texters. Hell I was texting, texted Ross ain't getting
a response, just in the sheer insanity of everything that

(01:55):
was going down yesterday. And we'll chat with Pete Calendar
that'll be coming up at eight o five as we do,
and Uh, there's no way we're gonna get to everything.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Just started off so innocently.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
We're just gonna learn about zombie zombie mummy bread.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
That was it. That was gonna be the craziest thing
in the stack is going on, you know, going into today.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Also, Ross, I brought cookies. You should have one of
these cookies. You like cookies, right, yeah, they like protein cookies.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, yeah, they're very special cookies. Man. I had a
very unique yeast I used, so it's very healthy.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I was just saying no preservatives, but that's not true,
but all natural, old timey preservatives. Some lunatics found a
mummy and then found like it took from its gut.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
I can't believe I'm having to say this or explain this.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Scientists find yeast in a frozen mummy's guts and then
we're like, you know what we should do. We should
make sour dough bread, because that's what you do on
the pinterest, right, you make the sour dough bread. Is
that still a thing? That's still gotta be a thing? Yeah,
yeast had been growing in the guts of a frozen
mummy called Oyetzi the Iceman for thousands of years, and

(03:24):
they're like, hey, hey, you know what, you know what
we should do with that yeast? We should make sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
You gotta eat the mummy yeast. To you though, we
talked about remember the black sarcophagus they found right.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
With the bone jese and they found like the.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Mummy bone juice. And our position at the time was, listen,
if you're in that scenario and you happen to find
a black sarcophagus and crack it open, you gotta drink
the bone juice. You gotta drink it was that my position,
though I don't recall I think so. So anyway, Yeah,
you find the mummy, gotta eat the mummy yeast. Same thing.
Do you want personality or not?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
How cursed. Is that bread completely? Or are these cookies
right here? You can eat one? Eat one of these?
Do it? Do it? I don't like sweets, That's why
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
How is that your first thought. Wouldn't your first thought
be like, oh, cool, I found a mummy. That's pretty good,
right especially.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, there's no part of that, like you've seen that
the bodies exhibition that goes around where you see that.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Oh the Chinese distance. Yeah yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Whatever it is, there's no part of that where a
normal person doesn't look at that and say, hey, I
can make something to consume out of this.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Right.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Right, feasibly you could brew a beer with this. If
you're getting yeased for that, you can.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Use ease for that.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
You're gonna be seeing things.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, you tell me you want some you don't want
some mummy? I p a m good stuff. Uh, we
didn't see.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
We didn't expect to find yeast, said lead study author
Mohammed Saran lun Tick. His body hosts living, metabolically capable
organisms that are actively responding to the environment. He tells Reuters,
the cold adapted yeasts are growing certain bacteria of colonized
and persisted across his tissue for decades. The mummy, in

(05:17):
a very real sense, is a living biological interface, a
meeting point between the ancient world and the present. Now,
I know what you're asking. I know the question. Right
now you're screaming at your radio, like, why hasn't he
answered it? How was the bread? Apparently it was very good.

(05:41):
Science has discovered four different yeasts that can survive sub
zero temperatures, and Oyetzi's guts three these kinds of east
live only in cool conditions. Yeah, nobody cares.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
How is the bread? How is the bread? Okay? Here
we go. The scientists then reproduced the gut east in
a fridge. This is the quote right here. If you tell.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Anyone you have yeast, they immediately ask can we use
it for bread?

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Do they?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
In this circumstance, that's the first question you told the
other science It's just like, yeah, it's amazing. We started
cutting up this mummy we found that's fifty three hundred
years old.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
We found some yeast. And then another science is.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Like, bro, do you make bread yet? That's how that
went down? Touch grass nerds.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
See, and then you're screwed because if you know, say
like your wife, we're just to stumble across the mummy
and then make you mummy bread out of the mummy yeast.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
And starter first out of the YaST.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yes, put all that time and effort into it, right,
and then she's like, taste it. You can't be like,
oh this is gross. You gotta be like, oh, it's
so good, honey bread.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, best bread ever.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
And then you're gonna be served up mummy yeast bread
for the rest of your life that you don't really like.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's how me loaf gets you, right, Yes, Yes,
wasn't that. Wasn't that the story? Yes, those who don't know,
this is the story. And meet loaf in Ross's house
growing up.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
He sat down at the table. Back in the day
he sat down the table, My dad would sit at
the end, my mom next to me, right there, I
me next to my mom, My sister's lashin fig Yeah,
Thursday meat loaf day every day for my entire life.
One day Dad was not having it. It was so weird.
And my dad was an upbeat, positive person, had been

(07:29):
through a lot, shut three times at Vietnam, was living
a life, had his own house, had a family, was
loving life, was always upbeating positive, right, funny, except except
this one day. Yeah, and he's sitting there and he's stewing,
and he's staring at his plate. Remember we had had
meet loaf Thursday every day in my life that I

(07:50):
as long as I could remember. I was like thirteen,
fourteen years old. And he drops his his fork and
he goes, I hate meat loaf.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Hat meat loaf, breaking it for forty.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Years or whatever it is, Yeah, I hate it. I
don't want to eat the meat loaf. It was like
a big dal o. Dad finally admitted I hate the
meat loaf. Been sitting there every year, year off to year,
week after week, day after day, eating the meat loaf
on Thursday. Hated the meat loaf. What did you think
of the meat loaf?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
I loved it. Yeah, that was great.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Did you have meat loaf after that? We did next Thursday. Yes, yeah,
so Roster. The point of the story is you eat
the mummy.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
That's what I'm saying. For the rest of your life.
You're eating the mummy yeast bread.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
It's just so gross.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
I feel the same way. I feel the same way
about chicken breast. Can't eat it. Hate it.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
What are you talking of?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Hate it? Hate it?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Your a protein.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
He hate it. It's the worst. I won't eat it.
I hate it. You don't need to listen. I hate it.
I hate the texture. I hate the consistency. No matter
what you do to it or how much sauce you
put on it, it's gross. I hate it.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Chop it? Hey, no good? Oh nope, so many things
you can do.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Anyway, Now we got money, got used, and I thought
that was going to be the story.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
That was it, and.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Everyone just lost their collective minds. We'll document that the journey,
we'll talk to Pete, we'll do all the things that
we do on a Friday, and we'll do it up here.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
In just a bit. On the KCO Day radio program,
clar were dogging on The New York Times saying that
they basically did that as softly as they could, including
the woman really the focus there, who pointed out that
there was you know, she and many people around her
provided confirmation on a bunch of stuff that The New
York Times just didn't even include in there. But holy hell.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Man, and you knew it was going to be bad
because for like an ad at Ross, were you on
Twitter at all in the afternoon, it was the worst
cap secret that this thing was coming that I had
ever seen.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I was not.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
I was just seeing this screen caps you were sending
my way.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Ah, I got you. It was. You know, usually if
there's like, ah, something's coming, well, you know that really
annoying vague thing you get people do, they're like, oh,
you're not gonna believe it's gonna blow your mind to three.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And the ninety percent of the time nothing happens, right,
And that person was just farming engagement here.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
It was like everyone.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
They were already making the joke, right, the joke that
everyone's already making. And what they do is they pick
out their buddy whoever they want to make fun of,
and they're like breaking news. So and so just try
to break into grand Planter's house. And the reason they're
doing that, I have to be delicate here. The reason

(10:45):
they're doing that is because of who this part of
the story. According to reporting, he said, if anybody ever
breaks in here, I would rape them, but not in
a sexual way and not in a gay way. I
would just rape them to show them that I'm dominant.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Right, not a gay way, sort of like a pulp
fiction gimp in a box sort of way.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, but not sexual or gay, right, none of those things,
just you know, to exert dominance.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Who also this part.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Jenny Ray Cooff forty one, a main Democrat who dated
him on it. He's dating everybody do his guy's swimming
in it, said that he would refer to his tattoo
and I kid you not as quote my.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Little tote and cough, that's my little tote.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Coff obviously clearly indicated he kind of knew what that
thing was.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
And gave it a weird pet name of some sort.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Can you imagine you're breaking this guy's house and now
he's rape punishing you while pointing to his tote and cough,
not in a gay way, not in a sexual way,
but to exert dominance.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
I remember sitting there yesterday, think it's guy's gonna do
something to himself. I had not seen I had not
seen a beating like that in forever. Man.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
I haven't seen the polling, But I'm being honestly if
I wouldn't be surprised if he still won, because they're
still looney tunes.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yeah, they don't.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Care as long as it's not the Republican.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Well, that would be the best thing for the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
They can literally purge this guy and replace him in
certain circumstances.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Uh oh, just brutal.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
And while this is going on, simultaneously, Moore's coming out
about the Southern Poverty Law Center, and it's so insane.
I just felt that every story was collectively an effort
to cover up the previous story. So so the Southern
probably Lost Center story kind of came out before the

(13:09):
Planner stuff, and it's so much remarkably worse than you
thought it was, Like, this isn't where all right, they're
paying they are paying some people, but they're feeding them
information and it's it's gross.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
But at the end of the day, it's not like
they're doing no no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
No no, Like they wholesale had a dude who wanted
to not be doing that thing anymore, which they should want,
right because isn't that the whole point of your organization.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
And he wasn't just.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Like a dude showing up at the meetings with a
tape recorder. He was the guy organizing for like sixteen states,
and then he would plan other little mini hate groups
you would like, organize them, set them up, and he's like,
that's the dude.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
They're like now you.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Got to go back, you got to keep creating the
hate groups.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
So he made like a Edward Norton American History X one. Right, Yes,
he went the other way, and they're like, no, no, no, no,
keep doing what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yes, And he came back and he recruited people to
start other hate groups that exist to this day and
so other poverty loss and are paid for it, paid
for it. And I'm like, what could be worse than this?
And then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, didn't
see it coming. Around nine o'clock yesterday morning, Hunter Biden

(14:27):
started tweeting and he didn't stop, and he tweeted anything
and everything that came into his mind. Him and three
year lettermen are best friends. Now it's just insane.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Earlier with this WTF timeline? Are we on?

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Now?

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Someone called me.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
The mago whisper. I'll gladly take the title. Left right,
d or R.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
We all want the same thing.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
We're being divided on purpose by the epstein elite oligar class,
because as long as we're at each other's throats, they
get fat and rich off our misery. The second we
figure out we agree on more than we disagree We're done,
love your neighbor, be yourself radical. Honestly, no f's given,
no f's taken. Everything else is just noise, but still

(15:19):
f Jake Brick Tamlin Tapper on any timeline. He then
took umbrage with people here we go, referring to him
as part of the elite oligarch class, posted the photo
that famous photo of him with the cigarette in his mouth, shirtless,
and said, do I look like I'm part of the

(15:39):
elite oliglach oligart class? This was taking it a super
eight motel off I ninety five. By the way, there's
no I have not seen one legitimate anything. Ross was
asking him, asking about the reflecting pool. Why the Democrats
are met? There's no reason. I didn't know there was
any drama.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
So the first I'm hearing about it, I guess I've
been like super disconnected because of the baby and taking
care of the baby. Sure, yeah, so I'm watching that.
I just reposted the libs of TikTok tweet that they
sent out where it's you know, it's the Washington Monument
and it's a reflecting pool and stuff, and yeah, you
know you could see it, and so wait, was there
nothing in the reflecting pool. Always assumed there was water
there because it's a reflecting pool.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
So here's here's what you had.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
You had the reflecting pool was leaking forty three thousand
gallons of water per day, so they were not refilling
it as you normally would, which then created stagnant water.
It created like a film build up. You had parts
of the pool where you'd have water, and then if
it rained, you'd have some water in there was gross.

(16:42):
It was like a low spot in your yard.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
Man. So they they drained all of that, They fixed
all the leaky stuff, and then they had to pole.
There's video of them literally like squeeging shoveling piles of sludge.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Out of there. They got all that out of there.
They pressure washed it. They then painted it or tinted
the bottom this this this blue or color because according
to people do pools. Uh, when you do that and
then you fill it back with actual clean water will
create a much more reflective surface. And they are in

(17:19):
the process now of filling it. They started yesterday. It'll
take two or three days, I guess.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
So it was like nasty pond water.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
It was mosquitos and stinct.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Well, why would you not want to fix that because Trump,
and because that's embarrassing if people come and they tore
and they take that, think about like the history it's
happened there, right, m Okay, I have a dream for
forest running to Jenny exactly during the Vietnam War.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
But they didn't deserve it at all.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
They know she's a villain.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, people come in and visiting, why would why would
you want to smell gross and look nasty because it
looks amazing. So people are complaining about this, yes, yes, wow.
And he also had the Columbus statue.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Uh a big it's.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Like a three tier fountain. It was all covered in
graffiti and standy water and mosquitos and gross and stuff.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Now it's going again.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
The billions of dollars that we waste, and this is
something that should be a no brainer, like you should
fix that. It shouldn't have gone on that long. Apparently
it was a long time. You're saying like it's been
like that for a while.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Well, let's let's read.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Let's your mind, folks, this is these are all part
of the National Park Service, so like that. But the
maintenance just wasn't being done. That's for whatever reason. But
it's National Parks.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's like the way if the Kennedy flame were to
go out, and they're like, yeah, let's just keep it
that way.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, I've been to that damn thing when you go
into Arlington there.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, but but on a larger scale than that, I
would have here's what I would put it with. You're, well,
you've never been to Yellowstone right, but you've seen pictures
of the viewing station around Old Faithful right where you
can walk all the way around it and there's some
ice in there, and and you know, so it's but
it's a lot of concrete and walk away and a
bunch of stuff there. But it arguably is one of

(19:02):
the busiest places in Yellowstone Park, right from the lodge there, which.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Is this amazing old.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Wood hotel and so much history there, and then you
walk out and then you have this whole circulator era.
It was as though that was basically dysfunctional, so that
people really couldn't get out there to Old Faithful and
enjoy the thing, and that would be the obligation of
the National Park Service to make it so it wasn't
that way.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
That's what we're talking about here.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, it's nuts. I mean, it's like anything. Listen, if
the Vietnam War Memorial starts to fall over, you should
fix that thing. You should fall over. If George Washington
nose falls off on Mount Rushmore, you should probably fix that.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
This is far simpler than that, because this was like
this was I don't say it was easy to do,
but like it was pretty straightforward trying to put on
his nose on Rushmore that you know what I'm saying.
We a little problematic and there debating over re bar
and concrete and all sorts of stuff. So this was
just like a water feature in somebody's home. It's like

(20:05):
somebody who has a pool at their house and it
gets a crack in it, and you either address.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
It or you don't.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Okay, I was gonna ask something really dumb because once thing,
I don't know, So, do they have like a chlorine
pump like hooked up to it so it won't get
disgusting again?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Or is it just a yeah the point of circulating water. Okay,
that's why it's just a follon. Yeah, okay, yeah, you
got to you know, you skim it. You got a
circulator with some sort of filter on there and you
keep the water moving, because once it gets stagnant and
nothing's doing, that's you know, leaves get in there and
dirt all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Man, Because I can see the Democrats are maybe making
an argument or people on the left like, oh, you're
cleaning it up, it's just going to get gross again.
But not if you maintain it like it should be maintained.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Where you're dumping forty three thousand gallons of water basically
leaching it back into the ground, just wasting it every day,
where's the environmental part of that? You probably don't want
to do that. I meany data centers is that I
don't even know.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yep. Everybody's crazy. Everything's insane.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
And his Friday, going back to Hunter Biden, he's on there,
you know, arguing about what type of a drug pipe
people should ai into his face, also denying the drugs
for his in the White House. Ross seems to believe him.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
So I'm not going to follow him because I'm just
not going to. But he does get up a good point.
He said, and I'm paraphrasing, you know, hey, those weren't
my drugs, because I would know where my drugs were,
like I wanted to keep my you know, I would
always know where they were. I wouldn't leave my drugs,
which is.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
The hallmark of a drug. Yeah, they're always very concerned
where their drugs are.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
So I was talking to a cop friend who was
part of the gang unit in Durham, and he's telling
me what thing. One thing the always look for when
they're like you, patrolling the streets and stuff, and so
you see somebody suspicious is if they're if they're constantly
like padding, like touching this, you know, like their pant
pocket right like he's tapping it, they're probably you know,
are my drugs still there?

Speaker 4 (22:02):
Ah, that's a good point.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
What if they're just kind of a per Well they're saying, well,
they possibly, but they're saying like that partly that watch
pocket on your jeans, you might put a bag of drugs.
Like somebody walking the street and they're constantly like, you know,
touching that.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Is that not for drugs?

Speaker 3 (22:17):
I assume that's what it was for.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, who carries a walkers? Oh wait, we're doing that
thing with watches again.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
I think it's not a monocle. Keep your monocle in there.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, when you're overlooking your railroad empire. Here is uh
Hunter Biden with a video he posted.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Okay, everybody, just a quick message to say thank you
to everybody who has measures me today on seven years
clean and sober. I'm more proud of that than anything
I've ever done in my life. And I just want
everybody to know that is still out there sick and suffering.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
There's a way out, and that way out is together.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
I'm so proud to be a part of this community,
and I'm just so great for all the love and
support everybody has given me. So thank you again.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
All right, and and look here, here's here's half of this.
If if he is cleaning sober after seven years and
that's working for.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Him, I wish you well. I do.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
But every time I see him interview, he's just so
angry man, and this kind of feels like him.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
I I don't it. I don't think that him because.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
He's on he's on Twitter and he's like, hey, can
we all just be friends and and very self depreciate,
and I don't know. I don't know if this is
just a stage of him coming out the other side
of it, or he's just not he doesn't have as
much attention focused on I don't know what it is,

(23:47):
but it seems like a really weird group to lean into.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Are you going to say he's un and well, this
is gonna be my question. Does he have bigger plans?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
And how could you or what would it take to
reform what people think of you so that you could
be palatable to enough voters to potentially do something. It
got so crazy yesterday literally Trump got asked about it
when he was doing a press spray or whatever they
call that up at the White House.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
He's on social media now and he has suggested, maybe joking,
I don't know that he could run for president in
twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
How would he do?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Hunter Biden a twenty eight What.

Speaker 8 (24:34):
You would think that, you know, pass has something to
do with winning an election? And I would say his
past is not the greatest War's Hunter? Remember my Where's Hunter?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
It became the.

Speaker 8 (24:43):
Number one shirt anywhere in the world for about three weeks.
I'm not gonna say, man, I'm sure you know, Hey,
if the guy from Maine can do well, I guess
Hunter could do well too, Because the guy from Maine
is a basket case, and I would say worse than him.
Is the one from Texas that looks like alfredy Newman.

(25:06):
I would say that if he can do well, maybe
Hunter can do well. I'm not sure it'd be pretty
close as far as I'm.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Gonna say, so. I don't know what the hell's going on.
I don't know, man.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
I think he's a dude just having fun on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, no way, he's seven years sober. Don't you remember
the bell? Can you see that again? And that's what
we're talking about, because that's when the drugs were there,
and he's like, those were not my drugs.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
But man, did he look like a dude on drugs?

Speaker 9 (25:35):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (25:35):
That dude was fiending.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yeah, he looked like a dude on drugs.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
So even if those weren't yours, I think other drugs
might have been in play. But I also don't want
to knock somebody if they're like, you know, that's what
they're honestly trying to do. Probably not healthy to be
hold up in a hotel room fighting over fighting a
hooker over how much cracks on the scale.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Dibbs just pointed this out on social media, and I agree.
This is my thought that I had this morning dubbing
the audio in he sounds a lot like his dad,
like his speech pattern, the way he talks. No, I
can't well, yeah, well his dad when he was younger.
Oh okay, no spaghetti brain Biden, gotcha?

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Gotcha? All right, Well, with that in mind, let's listen again.

Speaker 6 (26:21):
O Hey, everybody, just a quick message to say thank
you to everybody who has measures me today on ten years.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, there was definitely a little bit of it in there.
He should threaten to try to fight whoever he's talking to.
Then I can compare him straight up. And again, this
was all pre graand plant or the stuff was going on.
We didn't even have the other stuff. But now we
got the other stuff. Also, we have an assault. And

(26:51):
I know people are joking, like laughing about it's not
an assault. That Code Pink Lady is a lunatic. I
can't tell you the number of videos I've seen her
chee politicians around, barking at him with her film crew
and then to put hands on somebody. I don't care
if you just tap them. You don't get to touch people.
And people think it's stupid. They're like, ah, how can

(27:12):
that be assault? Because you have to have a hard
line and law has a hard line. You don't put
your hands on people, you don't do it. So we'll
get into that incident. And yes, I'm gonna fill you
in on the Southern Poverty Law Center because it's too
crazy to ignore. We'll get into that next six forty

(27:35):
seven hang on phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four Oh boy?

Speaker 4 (27:43):
This, uh boy? Where do I even start on this?

Speaker 2 (27:47):
The Southern Poverty Law Center, Man, So this is a
what is the term that they would use superseding indictment?
So basically, you know, they already got they already got
the story out there. So this is just this is
additional parts of the indictment which have are far more
in detail.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
And I didn't think it could get worse. This is
far worse.

Speaker 10 (28:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
The charges revolve around the Southern Poverty Law Centers program
of pain field sources inside white supremacist groups such as
the Klan and Neo Nazi groups.

Speaker 11 (28:26):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
The organizations maintained that it paid informants in order to
alert law enforcement to extremist violence before it happened, all right, which,
by the way, you know, if you envision why you
might have somebody in there, if they're sitting there and
at the meeting, they're like, all right, we're gonna go
do this thing, right, do this horrible thing. Then you
can get on the phone with police and be like, hey,
they're gonna go do this horrible thing. Here's location, here's time.

(28:50):
Then you could make that argument, But what a little different.
The indictment alleges the field sources then use the money
from the law Center to grow extremist groups. Sources use
the money to attend and host extremist group rallies. Again,
this wasn't just they were paying them for information. They

(29:11):
were funding their ability to do the thing and expand
the thing.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Paid for.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Extremist group rallies, help grow and create new chapters of
extremist groups, recruit new members, donate to extremist group leaders,
and even and this is this is the one that
just floors me, even though it's not most of the money,
and even to purchase the materials for cross burnings ross

(29:41):
you ever wanted to burn across but you didn't have
money for fuel and wood.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Frustrating it, right, never be in that spot, believe it
or not.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Pretty frustrating, Right, You're like, oh, I want to burn
this cross of this Dude's law and I don't. I
can't even afford gas is expensive, man, Oh in California,
if you try to burn across in California, take out
a loan.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Not anymore.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Southern Poverty Law Center pay for the materials. Bonkers.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Also, and this is the part that's really creepy.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
There were multiple instances of members of these hate groups
who were taking money from the Southern Poverty Law Center
who literally were like, I don't want to do this anymore.
Not just take your money, I don't want to be
part of this anymore, which should be a win. However,
one individual led the National Socialist Party of America and

(30:35):
led a faction of the Arian national chapters in seventeen states,
reached out to the Southern Poverty Law Center based on
a video that they had produced about people pulling themselves
out of this life, and said, I want that for me,
and they said, nah, we need you. What if we
gave you twenty five hundred dollars a month additional inexpenses

(30:59):
and then you stay and oh, by the way, also
lead and expand this organization.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
And they did.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
They built, they created new branches of hate groups, not
just monitor it, monitored it, financed it, According to the indictment,
two other Field Sources, members of the clan feared for
their safety from other clan members who wanted out, reached

(31:28):
out to the Southern Poverty Law Center after seeing news
reports about the center helping another person leave the group. However,
despite their request for help getting out, the Southern Poverty
Law Center employee encouraged them to stay in the movement
and offered them an additional twelve hundred dollars a month
as pay for expenses incurred. The employee of the Southern

(31:50):
Poverty Law Center then directed these Field Sources to falsely
state they received the money for helping college students write
and research essays so they could create some sort of
plausible explanation for the money. The money then went to
purchase material to make Ku Klux Klan garments, and Revel

(32:12):
reimpurseed Field Sources for expenses occurred at cross burning events.
It's it's just well, I'll tweet the story out to you.
It's crazy, well, Russell.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Tweeted out to you.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
And again, if you didn't have a news cycle like
there was yesterday, arguably this should be the biggest story.
Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. So, like I said, everyone was out being
insane yesterday. A absolutely, And dude, it was so funny
because just through the normal course of everything going on,

(32:48):
because there's a lot of committee hearings this week, which
is why there's so many clips floating around out there,
that usually means that a bunch of these cats are
gonna then be interviewed across the various networks.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
And so you had all these.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Democrats that are going on these shows they were expecting
to do like five minute little stand up pieces talking
about how they're fighting a good fight against Trump, who
are then getting asked about Plantner. And they had already
committed to the interviews. So now they're there and it's
so lately. Here's Ed Markey.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Listen, listen to listen to this. This dude's squirm right here. Man.

Speaker 11 (33:20):
Before we go, Senator, I have to ask you about
embattled main center candidate Graham Platner.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
He met with Democrats in d C yesterday. Will you
endorse his campaign?

Speaker 11 (33:32):
I know that he is out and he is campaigning
on kitchen table issues. I know that he is opposed
to this slush fund which Donald Trump is putting together.
He's putting affordability front and center for the voters of
Maine to decide this race.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (33:53):
And I think that he has the right issues uh
to be focusing upon this year in Maine, as I
am doing, and I think other people who are really
concerned about the direction our country is going in right now.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's what an absolute word salad, right And by the way,
normally they would have just let him off with that,
because you know, it's CNN whatever or MS now or
whatever it is normally, but they're not letting him off
with that, and he is squirming.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Does not even begin to describe it. Sounds like he
has their support.

Speaker 11 (34:23):
Senator Well, I am convinced that he is running on
all of the right issues.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
For our country right now, So why not say that
you endorse him?

Speaker 11 (34:36):
But in my opinion, he has taken the issues and
he's galvanized a grassroots movement all across Maine. People are
responding at the town meetings, They are up, they are energized,
and in my opinion, he is on a pathway to
victory in the state of Maine.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Okay, all right, all right, So again, won't endorse them,
but also won't disparage him. Dude, Rock in a hard place, man,
And I don't know what the plan is.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
To deal with this.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I guess just lose or in Ross's a horrible scenario win.
And then at that point, what does anything even matter?
I guess people are like, well, maybe you know, strategically
they do that and they remove him, then they put
somebody else, and who's more palatable. It's gonna be long
five months or whatever it is, be a long five months. Meanwhile,

(35:36):
lunatics up in h up for the Code Pink contingent.
You know, their whole thing is they got two of
these ladies, right, they look like nice little old grandmas
and they're just nasty pieces of work. And then they
just run around and they like lurk in the holes
of Congress and they hang out by the elevators right
where the congressional members you're gonna go use. They had

(35:58):
a old camera crew with them and they just start
harping on them, just trying to get a clip, just
trying to get something. And they were doing this with
Anna Paulina Luna. And look, the rule is you don't touch.
I don't care whether it's you're you're punching somebody, you're
you're you're you're smacking somebody on their arm to get
their attention whatever it is, or you're just you're grabbing
onto their arm to you know, really hone in your point,

(36:20):
you don't do that. You don't do that, and this
woman knows that as well. And yet that's what they
chose to do with the Anna Paulina Luna.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
And good on her.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
She filed charges she should not because she was gravely injured,
not because the woman really has the force to probably
injure her, but because you have to have a line
with lunatics, and the line is no touching.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
I I see, I see politicians of all stripes conversing
with this woman on the regular, even if they clearly
don't agree on stuff on the regular.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
So it's not like this is.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
This lady's first trip to the capitol. She knows what's up,
and yet you still have this exchange.

Speaker 12 (37:05):
So I was questioning Senator Rubio on code pink, which
is a foreign funded way.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Oh wait, hold on, let me play. Let me play
the actual incident. First, people right right.

Speaker 13 (37:14):
Now, cutting off oil, cutting off every single way the
hospital is going to actually get each the people.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Because it doesn't sound like you.

Speaker 13 (37:26):
Do no, because Mark Rubio has been sanctioning the Cuban people,
which is hurting them by the billion bill.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
That hurts the people there. They have no power. You
are missing formed.

Speaker 14 (37:41):
Touched me.

Speaker 13 (37:42):
It was like, sorry, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
You just touched me.

Speaker 12 (37:44):
You're gonna walk away right now else I'm gonna call
Capital touch me, I walk away?

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Bye bye?

Speaker 4 (37:48):
Yeah, you'll walk away because you know you don't do that.
Oh bye bye. I was just trying to be nice.
I don't know who the dude is. He's obnoxious. So anyway,
that that was that.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
You heard the audio of the incident, and then of
course people start mocking.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Like, oh oh was she injured? Your arm almost fall off.
It's not about that. It's that you have to have
a line.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
And you know why you have to have a line,
because people feel it's okay to murder you. It's a
shoot him in the back. He's a CEO, it's fine.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Shoot him in the neck. Why the hell not.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, he's out there, he's arguing things we don't like. So, yes,
you have to have a firm line, and the firm
line has to be there is no physical contact. You
can't do that because then it goes from the lightest
touch that you ever saw, which this is trending in
that direction, two actually murdering people. That's where we are

(38:44):
right now in this body apology. We don't have singers
who are willing to sing right now because they're scared
that you're gonna murder them. And and this woman is
one part of that problem. Code Pink of their activists
are cancers, man, and they've been can answers for a
very long time.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Bit arounds.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
You know, it's brought about during the George Bush stuff,
and then it's just off and running. I told you
they were the ones who essentially got those free passes
so they can interrupt the RNC from MSNBC going all
the way back to the John McCain RNC nominating convention.

(39:25):
So here's the follow up to the story from of
course TMZ.

Speaker 12 (39:31):
So I was questioning Senator Rubio on Code Pink, which
is a foreign funded organization, and I've been going after
far et cetera. And so as I was leaving, they
were asking questions. I don't have an issue asking questions,
but when you are operating me and trying to block
me from being able to come vote, it's an issue,
but I continue to answer them. I was walking out
of Rayburn and as we were trying to walk away

(39:51):
from them, I guess they didn't like what I was saying.
So one of the lead organizers actually smacked me. And
so at that point I broke contact.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Can you like reenact how you were hit?

Speaker 12 (40:00):
If just I was literally walking trying to walk away
from this person and they.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Smacked me in what part of the body?

Speaker 12 (40:07):
They smacked my arm?

Speaker 14 (40:08):
A smack? Are you injured right now?

Speaker 12 (40:10):
I mean, look either which way, you don't touch anyone,
especially if you don't like what they're saying.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
You cannot.

Speaker 12 (40:17):
You can't hit them. You can't block people from being
able to vote. And so what I will say is
I have file charges. There's footage of this, they have
multiple angles of this, there is multiple witnesses. We have
people that filed statements as well. And I think that
she's going to be getting in a lot of trouble.
You cannot do that to people.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, I don't know, she'll get a lot of trouble.
She should, but just because again, you have to have
a line here. You got to have that because if
you're you're not going to get into a what's reasonable
with people who are largely unreasonable.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
As a tactical thing. So you have to have the
thing that is all right, because it's easy to define
touch unless it's the NFL and you're trying to figure
out where the ball is right and you're one of
those weird play things. But for the most part, you
can define all right. The thing we're not going to
do is touch each other. And she broke that.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
And frankly, I don't know why they let this woman
operate in there, because she's a nasty piece of work
and I've seen her put hands on other members of
Congress who just didn't do anything about it. And it
doesn't matter if it's in some weird, kind of weird
embrace way. You're not dealing with somebody who's all there.
You're dealing with somebody who's they're on a mission. So
she has hard boundaries, and this woman chose to push it,

(41:30):
even though that seems like a very logical boundary. Man,
you don't get to touch, you don't get to put
hands on. It's that simple. And if you thought all
that was insane, Yesterday also was the kickoff to the
Carmelo Anthony trial. This is the young man accused of
stabbing the other young man in a tent at a

(41:51):
track and field event, and then Boyle Boy doing some
serious fundraising with the fan there.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
And all the lunatics are out for the first day
of this, including the Black Nationalists who have decided to
set up shop out in front of this thing. They
got old support tent.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Any media that goes over there is getting attacked, you know,
verbally at this point, thankfully only just craziness. But I
want you to hear what it is they're chanting, what
they're promoting, and explain to me why this is not
getting more coverage. We'll get into that next here. On
the CaCO Day radio program, there was a story percolating

(42:32):
that Joe Rogan might be in consideration to be brought
on on sixty Minutes, not to replace Scott Pelley, but
rather kind of the role that Anderson Cooper was doing
who left earlier this year.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
But CBS says that's not the case.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Would that be too weird Joe Rogan on sixty Minutes
just in that setting.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
I just feel like that would feel weird. Don't be wrong.
Rogan does a good job of being able to you know,
do interviews and stuff like that. That's that's his thing.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
He knows he knows when to shut up, which not
everyone knows how to do.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
I struggle with it sometimes.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
That being said, I don't know, man, Just something about
him sitting there with that little tick tick tick tick
tick going on. There's Joe Rogan sitting in a chair
and he's like, all right, I read you at the
bottom of this. Even though it is what he does
would kind of feel unnatural.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
I'd like to see him in that situation and like
an ice bath talking about DHD.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Right, but but not too long then you risked what
happened to poor miss bombum yesterday, or she was in
the ice bath too long and her bum bum got injured.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Her moneymaker should have shut it with Lords of London.
She didn't.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
So I didn't sound like that story's going anywhere, but
a part of me was like, that'd be interesting if
it did. Meanwhile, you have the uh Camarallo Anthony Trout.
This is dude, this thing is just gonna be a
dumpster fire man and and and none of it looks
good for the defense. Right, Why is this kid got

(44:06):
a knife? Was you over in the tent always bigger
in him.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
I don't care all all of these things are putting
in the wrong direction.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
But then you see what's going on literally on the
ground there, and you realize that, like all the activists
are gonna be all over this thing. First, and I
think people were slightly misinterpreting this.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
Because they were they were they.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Were talking about some of the jurors who didn't make
it on and some of the comments that they that
had been made, so like, uh, we're one one potential
juror again didn't make it on, but a potential juror
was like, I don't know that I could convict a brother.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
I was gonna say, is this gonna be like a
sort of O. J. Simpson sort of thing where it's
like yeah, I think people want it to be, you
know what I mean, where they say, yeah, obviously he
did it. We know he did it. He stabbed it,
that dude, he killed that dude, but we're gonna say,
you know, not guilty because you know, past racism or
history in the country whatever.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
Yeah, yeah, that that is definitely because like that's that's
all you can do.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Because when you look at the actual evidence and they're
like the video and the story and even the story
that Anthony told authorities when they when they took him
into custody, Like.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
It's largely seemingly indefensible.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
So in addition to you know, some weird like insight
into some potential jurors, another juror said that they would
have a problem convicting somebody who quote looks so young.
All right, we can't have that person on the jury.
That's gonna be a problem as well. So now you're
into this thing where and I don't know if it's
one hundred percent true, but are the activists are like, ah,

(45:50):
there was three potential jurors, allegedly the ones who said
the things I just told you that the prosecutors challenged
and got kicked off the defense. The defense got all
upset saying, wasn't it strange that all three of them
were black and they were challenged based on the park
that they were actually teachers. Now, whether that's gamesmanship or not,

(46:13):
I don't know, but the judge let it go. Meanwhile,
outside of all of this insanity, you had like black
nationalists start lining up out front and in a very
aggressive manner start chanting things like this.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
Cracker only good cock cracker perfect.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Only good cracker is.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
My good cracker is oh good crack. So all right,
and I can play the you know what if game?
What if that was it said cracker?

Speaker 2 (46:58):
There isn't the N word, and you had, I know,
a bunch of white dudes standing around out there only
good and words a dead end word, there would be
nothing else on the news.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
No, it's been a while. Didn't he stab the kid
in front, like at the game, or like in front.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
Of everyone in the tent? Yeah, in the in the
the team tent. Yes, yeah, stabbed him.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
The fact that he hasn't been like put in the
chair already drives me insane. No, I don't care if
he's I don't care if he's young. I don't care
if words were said. You don't get to stab somebody
and be a monster because somebody uses words. It's absolutely insane.
And if you're gonna act like that, well guess what.
We're gonna strap you into that chair. That's what we're
gonna do.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
You know what I'm taste first, sure, okay, all right,
I don't want to miss a stab.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
And then to act like he's the poor victim.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Well, that's that's where we're going here. Yeah, you're gonna
have Ben Crump out there. He's already he's already vault
up in this thing. We grab a quick call on
the Austin Metcalf slash Carmelo Anthony, not the former Denver
Nuggets player, the young man accused of murder there in
Texas for stabbing the uh, the dude in the tent

(48:10):
and then fundraising the hell out of it with his
family and getting a nice new ride.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
So that's nice. But yeah, you have like black nationalists,
only good crackers.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
A dead cracker lined out in front of this thing,
and they're just it's going to be a zoo man,
absolute zoo. And yes, what they're looking for is jury
nullification because really there's not anything real defensible here.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
And this was the story. It's been so long for me,
it's all kind of coming back into my head. Yes,
where like afterwards the father went out right and the
father was like, now listen, we need to hear both
sides of the story, and we don't want to jump
to conclusions. I might listen if I'm at a high
school football game and my son Lincolns up down in
the field or whatever, helping out and some crazy animal
comes up and starts stabbing him to death and murders

(48:54):
them on the field. I'm going to prison that day.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
Well in Texas, maybe you won't. I'm not holding a
press coming. Well we need to hear both sides.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
Yeah yeah, between that and the fundraising and all this,
I'm just like, in a way, you're like, ah, I
don't know, dude'stod a chance because like clearly, clearly there's
some foundational parenting that's not happening here. They grab a
call on this real quick, Jamal, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Hey? Ka, see I want to piggyback on what Ross
was saying about that because his father came out and
because a many podcasters were speaking out about what happened
to Austin and he was like, well, they don't know
what happened, and we don't mean these white national needs
to calm down you and make trouble while you got

(49:45):
the black nationals, dude staring up trouble making it race
and people, these reporters need to say this and understand
when people say jury of your peers, they do not
mean jury of your race. Jury of your peers is
American citizens who live in your district in your state,

(50:07):
in your area, and they are the one where your
crime happened. They are the people the jury pool. If
you stabbed someone in a predominantly white area, don't be surprised.
The jury pool, for your taste, is then a predominantly

(50:27):
white area. And the three ladies that they dismissed, that
they all run and say, oh my gosh, they dismissed
three black women. Well they failed to say that they
were three teachers. So Austin, so you excuse me. So
Camelo for you know, not the Camelo that played for

(50:50):
the Syracuse Orangeman won the championship in two thousand and
three and also played with the New York Knicks. Not
that Kamelo Anthony. The thought who was Kamelo Anthony who
parents and took the money and bought a car and
es the ladies and house and they still had the
bed for a quarter point attorney. But this Camelo Anthony
stabbed the man that was in a predominantly white area.

(51:12):
And these three black women that they dismissed with teachers.
You can't explain to a teacher you took a knife,
a weapon that you're not supposed to have in the
first place on campus to after school event and justify that.
Teachers will say they are looking, you're looking for trouble.

(51:35):
My wife was one hundred percent of black water. Okay
Walton met my wife. Black men ain't suspain. And you
know what my wife would tell you when she heard that,
she first thing came out of her mouth. Why was
he carrying a knife on school campus? Right then and
there she said that, why is he carrying a knife

(51:56):
on school campus? He's not supposed to do that. So
black teachers know bad, but they just let put black
folk out there so they can just say, oh, remember
this is your brother, this is your brother, instead of
defending him based off the quote unquote evidence or no evidence.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
And I can get it gets far worse too.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
I saw them interviewing some of their classmates there and
like this girl, I think she was trying to say, uh,
and thank you for the call, Jamal, I appreciate it.
I think she was trying to say something nice about it.
I didn't even know what she was going for, but
she's like, yeah, that just that doesn't sound like him
murdering people. He normally just shows up the school armed
and beats people. He didn't normally murder didn't murder him.

(52:43):
He just shows up and an he likes to he
likes to fight him while he's armed, but he's not
killing him like that was an actual statement giving him
like a CBS reporter or something by some little uh
you know, some little sixteen year old girl or whatever.
Just oh yeah, microphone, let me comment that was her

(53:03):
devise normal. Now, normally you just punched him in the face,
not stabbing him in the art. Dude, If that's the
best thing you can get where somebody's clearly trying it,
I guess, I don't know, say something.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
To make you look better. That's gonna be a tough road, man,
an absolute tough road. But we'll see where it goes.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
All right, Look at that. I got so much audio.
We got pete calendar coming up at eight oh five,
very very busy morning.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
Uh you went here.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Let me introduce you to another DEM running for office.
Her name is Rebecca Bennett and she.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
She just liked to go to church. Unfortunately not now
Trump ruined that for her.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Here is the insanity from some pressive or some uh
I get to know you events she did where somebody
happened to be running a recorder.

Speaker 15 (53:53):
Progressive now I'm moderate. Yeah, I loved hearing you say
that you're a patriot, But what are you going to
do about that being a right code way of presenting yourself?

Speaker 4 (54:08):
I will say, okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
So so this this woman who says, I just want
to let you know, I'm a used to be a
progressive Democrat, now more moderate. But when you talk about
being a patriot, that's maga coded.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
Rose. So how do you how do you use that?

Speaker 2 (54:25):
And and then shy away from sounding like, I don't know,
you might have thought.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
Trump was not wrong about something. I want you to
listen to this answer.

Speaker 16 (54:35):
I use that word intentionally. And the reason that I
do it is because so I grew up in the
Presbyterian Church, and after Trump got elected, I stopped going
to church for the first time in my life because
I was like, I cannot sit in this.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Room of people.

Speaker 16 (54:48):
At the time I was stationed somewhere those pretty.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
Conservative of some military time.

Speaker 16 (54:52):
I was like, I cannot sit in this church full
of people that voted for Trump. And then ultimately I
decided they do not get to decide what Christianity looks
like me. It's the same thing about that. You do
not get to decide what patriotism is.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
You do not get to wrap yourself in the fly ball.
You were literally murdering Americans.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Okay, all right, So she decided I can't go to
church anymore because everyone else at church voted for Trump.
I don't know the particular makeup of your church, ma'am,
but I would I would suspect that if you go
to most churches in America, most churches, you're probably gonna
have a swath of Trump voters, if not a huge swath,
just because the normal we're normal people on the religion

(55:29):
scale fall versus their voting patterns. So you're but did
you do you ever stop to ask yourself? Okay, so
I don't want to go to this church anymore because
everyone there voted for Trump. Do you ever think maybe
you're the one that's like.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
The not normal one in there? From a church perspective,
From a church perspective, do you're.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Thinking, ah, Wow, the whole rest of the congregation probably
voted for Trump. Clearly they're the problem. No, She's like, no,
we just won't go. We'll find ourselves another little slice.
I'm not gonna let them define Christianity, and that's how
we end up with these churches, with these crazy people.
We keep playing the audio for you. Some lunatic, usually

(56:15):
a woman, no offense up there is ahead of an
Episcopalian parish or whatever.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Sitting there and is uh. You're like, oh, let me
explain the Bible to you, and it's and it's it's
like have you ever seen one? You ever read one,
you ever opened one, perused it?

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Just changing definitions of things. Just craziness, man, So good
luck with that. There's so many lunatics in this election cycle.
It's just crazy. Oh speaking of crazy raced agic from
the Weather Channel.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
Man's you personally? But well, okay, well, thank you. Appreciate
What if.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
Darrel was just losing their damn minds, which is great
for my show prep Stack yesterday.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
Appreciate that.

Speaker 7 (56:56):
I mean it gives you plenty, right, I mean, if
nobody was losing their minds, what fun would it be?

Speaker 4 (57:00):
Especially on a Friday? I don't know, what do you?
What are you up to? Right? Raise headed this weekend?

Speaker 8 (57:07):
You know.

Speaker 4 (57:07):
So he's like Stack in the weather did he check
his email? Did he get my email?

Speaker 9 (57:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (57:11):
He got your email? We see what you're up to
what you're up to, which you go into.

Speaker 7 (57:17):
We're going to Folly. We're going to Folly's in Charleston.
So I've never spent time at Folly.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
I've walked on Folly Beach. I actually like it reminds
me of the Jersey beaches, at least the size. You know,
you get some destrip for Yeah, well yes, I like.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Oh yeah right.

Speaker 7 (57:42):
I like the topography of the beach and how it's
kind of set up. It's like an old beach town
kind of. And you know Hilton had which I love.
The beach is a little bit more narrow where we go,
so I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
So, okay, we're over the rich people beach.

Speaker 7 (57:57):
Well, well, notice we're not going to Myrtle that. I mean,
we're not going to uh Hilton Head this year because
the in laws can't make it this year. So usually
it's the in laws that are Ah anyway, great beach weather,
I mean this is yeah, see how that goes you
kind of you kind of just dried along for the riding.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Pay for you get good weather, then everybody should get
good Well okay, yes we all are.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
Now.

Speaker 7 (58:24):
The one thing has been is the rip current risk
has been high, and it's been high for quite some
time on the East Coast beaches. So if you are
going to be heading the beaches, a little tough out there.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
Let's see. Do we still have advisories.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Now?

Speaker 7 (58:41):
Maybe a little team or today, but still you know,
pay attention to flags and the lifeguards and all that
good stuff. It's gonna be plenty of hots with the
sunscreen today we could get a little bit nineties, no
records today or tomorrow, but still from the tryad to
the triangle, few clouds otherwise sunny, a little bit nineties.

Speaker 4 (58:57):
Now for Raleigh.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
I'm gonna pick on you because at the airport the
high on Sunday could get ninety eight ninety nine, the
records one hundred, so there's a chance we could be
in reach or even get to that. And then we'll
start to see maybe a shower thunder shower chance as
we get into next week, but not gonna be much.
It looks like it'd be a nice, dry, warm week

(59:19):
next week Monday Tuesday slight chances of showers thunder showers,
and then every couple of days next week there's maybe
some storm. The more typical with temperatures close to ninety
each day, so all in all hot that we do
back it off just a little bit. The hottest day
is going to be Sunday. We do back it off
a little bit as we get into next week. Monday
is still pretty warm, lot to bit nineties and then

(59:40):
closer to ninety for probably the rest of the week.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Okay, all right, yeah, well we'll chat one more time,
but yeah, looking forward to the weekend that we'll be
Thank you, sir, appreciate it all right, Free state it
there from the Weather Channel also and again just everything
keeps getting lost in the shuffle of all the new Yesterday,
the John Bolton thing is delicious and if you don't

(01:00:04):
know what that is, just because you were overwhelmed with
everything else, we'll fill you in next here on the
CaCO Day radio program the.

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
World Cup matches.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
As things get ready to kick off here and like
ten days or something, FIFA has announced that they have
acquired a new security apparatus for several of the venues.
Boston Dynamics, Robot Murder Dogs, Ross are you pumped for
seeing soccer hooligans and various near do wells have to

(01:00:34):
interact with the robot murder dogs that might be the
best part. That might be the best part. Do you
think some drunk Scottish hooligans not going to try to
ride one of these?

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
Sorry, just put a delicious blueberry muffin in my mouth?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Was it made with skeleton? Mummy? I know, but I'm
like chewing like Lego mania trying to answer me.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Oh yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
The robot dogs will be amazing. Ye, yes, I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
One of them throws one off the second level and
then it lands on other people like that toilet, So.

Speaker 4 (01:01:07):
That'll be funny. They're going to destroy these things.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
You're gonna be able to I'm sure to vote online
like you know, polymarket or something like. You know, do
you think the dogs will malfunction in some way?

Speaker 13 (01:01:16):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Yes, Now it's not all venues, uh specifically, let's see,
it'll be the New Jersey, New York there at this
MetLife Stadium Dallas, Dallas gonna have robot murder dogs. Uh,
a few other oh, I like this one to Mexico City.
So now in Mexico City, do they have to get

(01:01:38):
tiny little robot murder dogs so that it's culturally, you know,
fits little chihuahua size murder dogs don't worry. They're very fast,
very yippy. I don't know the answer to that. Let's
say each venue will have four of them patrolling and
they're just don't worry.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
They're not running around murdering people.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
They say they're just there to kind of record and
then the lot authorities know if something's up.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
Uh let's see here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Though some conspiracy theorists believe that the security officials we
use them for facial recognition. Other says to verify ticket holders. However,
Boston Dynamics, the company that makes the dogs, says that
will not be the case. They are merely there as
a deterrent and to perhaps record potential crimes so that

(01:02:34):
humans can come and uh do something about it. Yeah,
he's getting stolen. I think that's pretty clear. And then
finally this before we get in with mister Pete Cowen
or John Bolton man. Now remember this guy when all
of the stuff was coming out with Trump, They're like, uh,
with the mar Lago and the documents, like, what do

(01:02:54):
you want to do? And he's basically gotta get you
just gotta I guess you gotta you gotta hang him.

Speaker 4 (01:02:59):
John Bolton already but heard over him and Trump partying
ways was.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
He was very clear about this. If you have, if
you were in possession of top secret documents, then unfortunately,
your time is up. That's why John Bolton yesterday announced
that he's going to plead guilty to one of the
eighteen charges of doing exactly that is crazy because here's
what he said back when Trump was the one being discussion.

Speaker 9 (01:03:25):
So Republicans used to believe that not prosecuting criminals led
to more crime. The answer here is take the politics
out of the decision and in this case, proceed with
the prosecution and do the same for anybody else who
does anything even remotely like it. Just read the indictment
and ask yourself, if the government can prove what they

(01:03:46):
allege here, shouldn't this man go to jail. The simple
fact he had the documents for any reason or no
reason should subject him to prosecution.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
See the problem too, is with Bolton's case, it's actually
far worse what he's alleged to have done, rather than
just having possession of the documents. Having never been a president,
by the way, which is a very important component of this,
had the documents. They alleged that Bolton maintained tons of
these documents, kept them in an office, but also would

(01:04:17):
then use them for various work he was doing outside
and allowed family members who held no security clearance at
all to come in and just check them out anytime
they wanted. Now you want to read Grandpa's super secret documents,
they're in there.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
Go ahead, It's fine, Ah, I don't need to know
why you want to see it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
That's what Bolton's accused of now in the charge that
he's bleeding guilty too, he could get up to five
years is I mean, he's not gonna get five years,
but he's pleading guilty because there's seventeen other charges still
outstanding and he just wants to put this behind him.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
So boy, Happy Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
It is eight poh six here on the Cacoday radio program,
and in what some people on the radio right now
and the try it and Trying, they're calling the worst
day in politics for a Democrat since Robert Kennedy, we
bring on our buddy Pete Calendar to help us break
down the insanity that was the news cycle yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
Mister Pete, how you doing?

Speaker 10 (01:05:13):
I am doing well. How are you?

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
What the hell happened yesterday?

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
I was perfectly fine with the weird Mummy story where
they're making bread out of its guts, right, just be
able to mock that, or Joe Rogan might be on
sixty minutes. And then all of a sudden they update
the Southern Poverty Law Center, so it's nine thousand times.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
More horrible than what was being alleged.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
And then Hunter Biden figured out how Twitter works, and
then Graham Plattner's like, I want to rape somebody, but
only in non gay ways while sharpening an axe if
they break into my house. And then the show was
all done, all my prep was done. You meanwhile, you're
right in the middle of a show while all this
is unfolding because you're noon to three.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
So hopefully the.

Speaker 10 (01:05:59):
Unfortunate schedule, Yeah, no, it's it's it's sometimes the unfortunate
nature of the schedule where you know, like there was
this eight hour hearing into the Mecklenburg County Department of
Health and Human Services as well up in Raleigh, and
it's like right during the show, and I can't you know,
I can't monitor it as I as I would if
I had, you know, one of the plumb morning assignments.

(01:06:21):
You don't know what you're gonna get you know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
No, but you at least get the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
It's not very often in the morning, unless the president's overseas,
you don't really get to jip stuff. Trump's well, Trump's
only nice in the essence that he tweets early and
often or truth or whatever you want to call it.
So sometimes that can help. But it's really hard in
a morning show capacity to get good, gippable audio, whereas.

Speaker 4 (01:06:45):
In the afternoon, like that's when things are going on.

Speaker 10 (01:06:47):
Man, And yeah, right, but I mean, yeah, you can't
just turn your whole show over to you know, whatever
is happening because you don't know if there's anything that's
actually going to be value. So I would rather, and
maybe that's just because I was a reporter, I would rather,
you know, monitor it afterwards, you know, go back and

(01:07:08):
watch it and then pull it and use it. But
that's the Uh. Well, yesterday though, was one of those
days where it's like I do show prep thinking all
of my topics are going to be you know, ABC,
and then you know, I cracked the mic or well
half hour before the mic is open end. Uh, And
I see that this absolutely scandalous, outrageous story that the

(01:07:36):
Michael Wadley campaign posted a picture of a Hurricane Carolin
Hurricanes player, and they posted this picture without his permission,
which conveys the idea that the Hurricanes player really, probably
all of the players on the Hurricanes team are endorsing
Michael Wadley. That's obviously the message that was spent, you know,

(01:07:56):
on the end, that they're dedicating their performance to Michael, right,
And they never did that. They never endorsed Michael Wattley.
So why would his campaign use a picture of the
player an action picture?

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
It was a weird It was one of these stupid
graphics you see all over for anyone promoting any sort
of sporting event.

Speaker 4 (01:08:16):
It's also dumb.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
That being said, And and by the way, the reporter
was sitting on that he was waiting. He knew what
was up. This was not some big thing. Other reporters
had ask questions that beans.

Speaker 10 (01:08:30):
Wait, wait, hang on, wait, hang on wait. So are
you saying that wait, because I was. I've been outraged
that they use this as an implicit endorsement of the player.
Are you saying that it's not a player?

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
No, it's lazy, it's lazy politic. You can make up
whatever player it is. And by the way, with the
way that AI screws everything up when it letters things,
the only sport in America that where it possibly could
be a player, even though it's thirteen letters with no vowels,
is hockey, right, because that's what you have there. But like,
here's the thing with Wattley, and we talked about this,

(01:09:08):
uh in the you know, like first thing on the
show yesterday. I don't care whether he's a hockey fan.
And I understand that Roy Cooper probably was more so
because when he was governor he get to go to
all the hockey things and stand around and smile and
take pictures. That being said, while these people put it
out there, this reporter sat on it, followed him around

(01:09:28):
so that they could fire this question.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
We got the audio right here, it's it's voice.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
And then but like learn somebody's name, although Wally did
kind of give an answer with one of the players
as it pertained to religious stuff. And then they're trying
to claim that Matt Mercer from the GOP gave him
the name to use.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
It's it was.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
It was the lamest gotcha story, and then it just
got buried in the insanity of all the news yesterday.

Speaker 10 (01:09:56):
Wait, so hang on a second, because I thought the
outrage was that it was an implant an endorsement from
a Hurricanes player that never was. And now I'm hearing
this is well because like that was the launchinoy Cooper
would never use sports as a way to ingratiate himself politically.

Speaker 4 (01:10:12):
Right, would never have post food to do that?

Speaker 10 (01:10:15):
Yes, no, right exactly, because these guys are authentic.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
Right.

Speaker 10 (01:10:19):
So but now you're saying that this is an AI
generated image, which I guess Now, okay, hang on, I've
got to shift my outrage because now it's an AI
generated image and that means he's not a true fan.
So okay, I just I need I guess I was
a little bit. I'm trying to keep up with what Yeah, like,
how like what is supposed to be outrageous about this?

(01:10:42):
Because we know that had he posted a picture or
it's not even him. Anybody that thinks that Michael Wattley
actually posted this tweet is they're they're insane. Okay, this
is a staffer and the message is gokines and there's
an AI generated image, probably because if he had posted
an actual picture of an actual player, people would have

(01:11:03):
accused him of doing some sort of implicit endorsement about
the permission of the team and the trademark and all
of that crap. So they do AI and now that
becomes the problem. And to your point about this reporter
Brian Anderson, who is just I mean, sounded like an
over eager junior high school kid trying to get invited
to the cool kids table, like about to positively burst

(01:11:23):
at the prospect of getting people, you know, to pay
attention to this story, you know, and then just kind
of dismisses it online afterwards as, oh, it's just a
fun story. See, here's the thing. If you were actually
interested in Michael Wattley's hockey knowledge, you could have simply
asked him the question that you eventually asked him first,
which was who's your favorite player? Because that's more in

(01:11:46):
line with an honest approach to the topic, versus name
three players, Name three players in a sport that ninety
nine percent of Americans don't watch. That's the that's the
first question, and then that gives away the game that
this was the whole point of it was to make
it appear that he doesn't know anything. He's not a

(01:12:09):
real fan, like Roy Cooper is And here's the thing,
I don't care. And in my training as a reporter,
that was the first question that you ask, who cares
about this story? Right? What is it? Why is it news?
And if you can't answer that question, then you probably
shouldn't be wasting your time on that topic. But the

(01:12:31):
answer to this question of who cares in this case
is Roy Cooper and Democrats. They care because they can
use it. This is the wrap up smear that Nancy
Pelosi described the process, right. You put something out there,
you get the reporters to do the story, and then
you merchandise the story, which is what the Cooper campaign
did with all of these quotes, and all of the
media is then doing the follow up op ed. This

(01:12:53):
is why it actually matters. And here's the thing, it
actually does not matter.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
Hell the damn political sign as professor from Meredith said
it did, Pete, Yes, correct.

Speaker 10 (01:13:03):
Guy like that, We're seriously, no, it doesn't matter, right,
And anybody that says, oh, this is like Paige Masten
from the McClatchy papers is like, oh, it doesn't matter
because it's about authenticity. Like anybody who thinks that Roy
Cooper is authentic is already disqualified from judging authenticity. Okay,
so you want to make this into the cal Cunningham
barbecue thing. Slight difference for those people who are too

(01:13:26):
you know, stupid or obtuse or partisan to understand the
difference is that cal Cunningham posed for that picture in
front of a gas grill while touting how much he
loves Carolina barbecue.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
Right.

Speaker 10 (01:13:39):
He would have known, he should have known. And here's
the thing that didn't even cost him the election.

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
For it. It was the affair exactly.

Speaker 10 (01:13:49):
It was him cheating on his life during the campaign
with the with a life of a service.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Member, of a deployed service member, I want to point
right out of a deployed service member.

Speaker 4 (01:14:01):
Yes, one hundred percent. If Wattley had walked up to
the mic and was like, hey, guys, I just want
to tell you I am the biggest Canes fan.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
I know everything. I'm the best of the biggest best
Caynes fan ever. Uh screw you all, scoreboard w me.
And then they asked him a follow up and he
couldn't answer anything. Then roast the guy. But like, I never,
never for a moment thought that Michael Wattley cared about
the hockey stuff, and I still don't, right, well, I
don't expect him. Well, how many people are saying Gokaines

(01:14:30):
right now who can't name any of the players, And
it's fine, It's okay.

Speaker 10 (01:14:33):
Right, that's right. This is and this is my this
is my criticism of the Hurricanes fans, not really the fans,
but basically like these what do they call them, the
raging Caney acts and stuff hockey fans And this goes
this is on all different hobbies and sports and topics
and whatnot. You have like the people who are die hards,
right right, and then something happens and everybody starts paying attention,

(01:14:55):
sort of like the US Olympic hockey performance, uh, just
months ago, and all of a sudden, everybody is now
like on board. And you got people that are these
quote true fans that are actively trying to kick people
off of the bandwagon. It's like, I hear you guys
complaining all the time that Charlotte people don't drive to
Raleigh and go to the games. Throughout the season, You're

(01:15:16):
constantly complaining about it. And then when people are starting
to get on the bandwagon and supporting the team, you're like,
get out of here, you're not a real fan. It's like, okay,
message received, have fun with your Stanley Cup finals because
now I don't care, because if I have to choose,
it's the sports fans and the politicians are saying that, oh,
you can't support the team unless you support it all

(01:15:37):
the time and you got to know the players' names.
And it's like then I'm out. I'm out because I
don't care. And again, I'm sorry to break the news
to people, but hockey is not a it's not a
sport that is watched to the level of many other sports.
I'm sorry. It's true though, there's like three hundred and
forty nine million Americans that do not watch hockey. Hurricane

(01:16:01):
are getting good, and everybody wants to jump on the
badwig and just support the team because it'd be nice
if North Carolina or you know, the Carolinas, if they
had a Stanley Cup championship. Again, I'd be happy with that.
I support them winning. However, we're going to burn down
to be anywhere associated with you?

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
How are we going to burn downtowndown?

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
Right if you don't Yeah, and you gotta grease the
Brics Span it's the whole thing. Do you remember how
excited people got when the US men's cricket team beat Pakistan?

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
Do you ever?

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
Yeah, Like, we don't, we don't, and nobody knows how
it happened that most people didn't know that Pakistan's you know,
really really good.

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
They just like USA, baby, We just.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
It's it's far more fun when the US goes and
stomps a hole in some team in a sport on
a world stage that we don't care about, because it's
far more dominating. Dude, if we win the World Cup.
You've never seen so many soccer fans.

Speaker 10 (01:16:55):
Right, so you never see many so like of all
the things to try to make into a thing, you know,
And I saw Tyler Voyd from Americans for Prosperity pointed out, well,
if this is the only way we can get, you know,
Cooper to talk about hurricanes, then I guess it's worth it,
you know, because like here's the thing, like what where's

(01:17:15):
where is the local press corps? Where is the Raleigh
political press Corps at any Cooper event, tossing questions at
him about how he lied about Joe Biden's cognitive prowess, right,
or about Graham Platner, what's your what's your take on
Graham Platner? Do you support him? Are you endorsing him?
You know, any thoughts on Grand Platter? Is anybody asking

(01:17:35):
those questions of Cooper? No, because the game of defend
or disavow is only played against Republicans, right, That's the
way this goes. And you're not getting any kind of
reactions that like from Oh, Democrats, better be careful not
to overreach. It's just an entirely different approach to covering
a story. This is why I call it, you know,
rule number two of journalisming, which is, when the scandal

(01:17:56):
involves a Republican, the story is the scandal. When a
scandal involved a Democrat, the story is the Republican response
to the scandal. And then you bury that scandal and
you just focus on the way Republicans are weaponizing this
in for me.

Speaker 4 (01:18:11):
What are they gonna what are they gonna do with
this guy? Right? So the two things that stood out, So,
the two things that stood out one his home defense
system where if you break into his house, he's gonna
rape you. Well sharpens an axe, right, but not in a.

Speaker 10 (01:18:23):
Game typically the men, Yeah not, but specifically if a
dude breaks them yea, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
So there's that, which, by the way, if that was
its own thing, I could see where that's some weird, drunken,
dark humor thing, even though it's super cringe right where
he's just like, ah, a is what I do. But
you know, he's not a fifth of whiskey. But then
you couple that with all of the things there. Clearly
the New York Times did a soft touch on this,
which is what people are not.

Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
Paying attention to.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
And then the part is far more damning is one
of the women has quoted in the article is saying
that he referred to his tattoo as my little tote
and cough, which I don't know, kind of means you
probably knew what it was, didn't realize you had a
baby pet name for it. So at this point you
just suffered through for five months. Is there some weird
apparatus with this guy? Do you just not spend the money?

(01:19:10):
I mean, what are they going to do?

Speaker 10 (01:19:12):
Well, there's I've seen reports that there are, you know,
ideas circulating among Democrats up in Maine that's like, hey,
maybe we all vote for Janet Mills because she's still
on the ballot, the former.

Speaker 4 (01:19:23):
Governor right, still on the ballot out in time, yes.

Speaker 10 (01:19:26):
Yeah, and so she's just suspended her campaign. So maybe
she just hangs back and maybe she comes out of
this as they're in next week's primary. I think it's
next week, right, June ninth. So maybe she wins the
primary after all of this. Maybe people don't vote for it,
but I like, don't. I don't think that's going to happen.
I think Graham Platner wins the primary. He's not going
to drop out because raging narcissists, it's never their fault.

(01:19:50):
And so he's not dropping out, and he's still and
he's denying. Like that's what's amazing too. Chris Hayes of
all the people on is now formerly MSNBC, he's the
guy that asked, Hey, with the timeline on your knowledge
of the tattoo doesn't line up, you know, like, how
did this ex girlfriend know what you called it six
months before you said you learned what it meant? And

(01:20:11):
he's like, oh, I don't know. She didn't send that
text to me. Okay, that doesn't make any sense. So
it's obvious you knew what it was when you got it,
which of course we all knew, and I don't think
they're gonna. I mean, now, if he had a star
of David tattooed on him, that would lead to his defeat,
he would not have the traction.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
What a mess, dude, what an absolute. I mean, I'll
watch it. I'll feast upon it. Man, I don't care.
Oh yeah, I'll watch every bit of this and pull
the audio clips and all the rest.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
Well, I saw the thing with Hayes. I got about
thirty seconds. We're gonna have to leave it there. But
he's like, yeah, everything's correct, except really the physical stuff
is what he basically pushed back on. But yeah, I
saw this allegation that the women knew what it was.
Not just one, but multiple women knew what it was,
but nobody told him that they knew, which I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
If your very relationship with the women, they'll generally tell
you all the things a lot.

Speaker 10 (01:21:00):
Yeah much, but for years, yeah, for years?

Speaker 4 (01:21:04):
AnyWho.

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
All right, well that's it, and we can do so
much more, but I gotta go, Pete.

Speaker 4 (01:21:08):
I appreciate it. Have a good weekend, sir.

Speaker 10 (01:21:11):
You too, brother, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
I don't know how you missed this, sir, So I'm
going to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
When we talk about Graham Platner threatening to rape home invaders,
mail home invaders quote not in a gay way. That
is not a joke, Ross and I are making. That's
what he said. That's not something we think is clever.

(01:21:32):
So I keep repeating it. I'm repeating what he said.
He said, not in a sexual way, quote, not in
a gay way. Now, who's the arbiter of that? I
don't know, Ross, Who should get to decide that. Maybe
a judge, the home invader who was just you know, punished.

(01:21:53):
And I don't know what that looks like, sir. But
I'm not saying that to be glib or to crack
wise on this. I'm repeating what he he said. And
I don't know what that definition. There's no kissing.

Speaker 4 (01:22:04):
I don't know. I don't know who makes that decision.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
As you can leave it up to the home invader
considering they just did a home invasion. But also if
there's not tape, it's he said he said or he
said they said, depending on how many people break in.
So uh yeah, I don't hang that on me, man,
I'm not the one sitting here saying insane things. Yes,
I didn't have to I told like I told Pete,
I didn't have to do any work.

Speaker 4 (01:22:33):
Y'all just prep the show for me with your craziness.
And I appreciate that. I do, I really do.

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
Do you know who I had to have the worst
day yesterday watching this stuff other than Graham Platner, Eric Swalwell.
Can you imagine being Eric Swalwell watching this one day
takedown which you yourself just went through, and still your
former Frillo colleagues, some of them are ro Conna is
going to campaign for Platner today. I assuming he cancels that,
but he hadn't as of last night. And even roe

(01:23:02):
Conna threw you under the bus out there. You're fellow
California guy. Oh you gotta be so angry.

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
You're back in the news as we found out that
the mystery woman that rebbed Jimmy Gomez admitted to quote
making mistakes with is actually Eric Swalwell's former chief of staff.
Everybody's looking up with everybody apparently up there in Washington, Man,
the married California Democrat, had an eleven month old child

(01:23:33):
at home when he was caught in a moment of passion.
Was Swalwell's Congressional Adi Yardeno Wolf. Three years ago, Gomez,
the founder of the Dad's Caucus in Congress, perfect confessed
to a statement that he cheated on his wife after
a report of the encounter with Wolf was asked about
by a Post reporter, which kicked off a House Ethics

(01:23:56):
Committee investigation. Wolf at the time twenty nine, Gomez, then
forty eight, were spotted having an intimate moment against a
car outside a party at Swalwell's house about two years
into her tenure, Swalwell's top staffer, and I took photos
and the whole thing here, man, let's see Wolf, a

(01:24:20):
rising star Democrat circles, received a glowing profile in l
Back in twenty twenty four, the same year she co
launched an artificial intelligence powered fundraising company with Swalwell. And
does seem to be a willing participant in the raunchy romance.
But she herself, but she herself knew that Gomez was

(01:24:41):
married with a young son, all right. And I'm not
gonna get into all the details, but you get the
gist of it. He's one big frat party.

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
I think Madison Catherine wasn't kidding. I believe were they
done to him, he didn't make it easy for him though.
So there is is that, all right? A couple other
things just kind of round. I'm not going to get
to everything that I wanted to get to, but that's okay,
that's just how it's gonna go. Oh yeah, I thought
this was funny. So they're they're positioning that the the

(01:25:14):
detainees at this Delaney Hall in New Jersey are gauging
a hunger strike, right, and you got politicians pushing all
this stuff. So I did find this amusing. So officials
at Delaney Hall actually decided to release some numbers. I
wanted to point out that maybe this hunger strike isn't
all it was cracked up to be, because once the

(01:25:35):
hunger strike kicked off on June first, they saw a
one and sixty one percent increase in commissary, right, So
this is the other way prisoners eat. They eat, you
know what's offered there in the chow hall. But if
you've ever seen any of the lock up shows, commissary
is a big deal, not just for the hierarchy and

(01:25:56):
how you pay bills and whatnot. But like, these dudes
get creative making stuff, they can go, they can go
gourmet and their cell but a lot of a lot
of people prefer them to eat the commissary items.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
But the point is that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
You had this this strike that took place, this hunger strike,
and it looks like for the most part, the inmates
just bought a bunch of like ramen and stuff. So
then they're ceremonially not eating the food being provided by
the by the facilities, but they're still eating food. So
whether there is in fact a hunger strike or not,

(01:26:29):
I don't know. And again that's just numbers. Make of
it what you will, But I don't know if that
counts really as a hunger strike. Do I remember the
last time we had a hunger strike? Oh yeah, that
was when they were taking over Columbia University.

Speaker 4 (01:26:43):
That wasn't a very good hunger strike either.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
And it was funny too, because they're like, oh, why
are they trying to kill this poor woman? And I'm like, one,
she doesn't she looks like she could miss the meal.
But two, I don't believe she's hunger striking. I know,
she's not eating bagels out of solidarity, but come on, man,
So whether in fact there is a hunger strike going
on there at this particular lock up seems a little

(01:27:08):
questionable at this point. And finally, this just in our
trifecta of absolutely broken people. It's not just Platner, It's
not just Gomez, not the rest, just all these guys,
some other people being brought into the insanity, including a
dude who was the go to for Mondami who then

(01:27:28):
started working with Graham Platners. This is the guy, by
the way, they think got up in that staffer's face
over the other story, the one that ran in the
Wall Street Journal and is just said to be a
very vicious, vile person. The guy's name is Morris Katz,
and I'm gonna delicately explain to you just to see

(01:27:51):
you understand the insanity you're dealing with. Katz, who's twenty seven,
is now reportedly working for Graham Platner, actually pitched a
book idea to Mondami, which would be a puberty book
for quote curious boys, and the protagonist protagonist of the

(01:28:11):
book would be and I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:28:14):
Not making this up, kats his own sports car. But
as like a character with eyes and thoughts and stuff,
the sheer ego of you're like, all right, I'm gonna
do a book. The star of the books gonna be

(01:28:34):
my manhood. That in and of itself is crazy, right,
that's just like that's some ego stuff there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
But then to be like, but it's not a book
for you know, adults. No, no, no, the book for
ten year old boys, and apparently the publisher had to
talk them out of it, going, I don't know about this.

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
I don't think this would be well received.

Speaker 2 (01:29:00):
See what was the book going to be called Everything
you Always want to Know about Puberty and shouldn't be
googling for curious boys? Aimed at boys ages twelve or
ten to twelve as an illustrated guy to male puberty,
covering universal concerns about the changes youngsters experienced during adolescent's body, hair, blah, blah, blah,
everything there.

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
Yeah, man, do there's something inherently like we need to
check your hard drive?

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
Wrong with you if you're like, I'm going to write
a book for ten year old boys starring my junk,
but my junk when it talks and gives advice and stuff.
So just surrounded by wonderful, wonderful people at every twist
and turn here, All right, look at that creeping up
on A forty three Here on the Kcoday radio program.

(01:29:45):
We will check in with the fine folks over at
Bloomberg News one more time. That'll be coming up here
in the final segment. But before we do that, why
don't we go ahead and get mister Ray staging from
the Weather Channel, who is hanging out one last time?

Speaker 1 (01:29:59):
Ray?

Speaker 4 (01:29:59):
What do you got?

Speaker 7 (01:30:00):
Alright, Casey, we're looking pretty good. Now continue what the
forecast has been basically all week we've been talking about.
I'm already looking ahead toward the weekend and saying it
was going to be great. If you don't like the
hot weather, maybe not so great. Humidity might start coming up,
but we may start teasing records the next few days,
especially in and around the triangle world, to be in
the mid nineties, ninety four to ninety six here today tomorrow,

(01:30:21):
maybe at the upper nineties by Sunday.

Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
Do we have a shot at one hundred? We do.

Speaker 7 (01:30:26):
We'll chat about that next week as showers and thunder showers.
We'll return to the forecast by Monday. So going to
be hot out there, with lots of sunshine, a few
high clouds right through Sunday. If you're traveling, certainly going
to be good travel weather headed to the beaches, high
ripcurrent risk on the East Coast beaches too, so just
look out for that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:43):
Ah, good old Ray.

Speaker 2 (01:30:44):
We'll always want to hang a record on you while
he milts you, so appreciate that. Have fun at the beach, sir,
and we will come back with you. Folks from Bloomberg News.
Next hang on Kentucky Department of Fishing Wildlife said they
have located a kangaroo running rough shod through downtown rich In,
Kentucky and our one wondering whose it may be. So

(01:31:05):
we'll get back to that here in just a moment,
because the search continues. Denise Peligrini joining us from Bloomberg
News here on our Friday Denise, what's going.

Speaker 14 (01:31:13):
On, Yeah, good morning. Just a lot to talk about
this morning. First of all, we have this jobs report
that just came out. I know we usually don't talk
about stocks. Right at the top of yesterday, it was
a crazy day on Wall Street. Today we've got job
growth for the month of May, topping all forecasts. So
the job market way stronger. Than expected and unemployment right well,

(01:31:35):
that held study that offers really a clear sign the
labor market could be breaking out of a period of
you know what summer calling lackluster hiring. Non farm payrolls
increased one hundred and seventy two thousand last month. That's
higher than just about every forecast we had. We're looking
at a doll that's hired by about sixty SMP down

(01:31:57):
about forty on the future is Nasdaq three eighty six.
So we're still seeing people kind of panic and dump
the AI trade after Broadcom yesterday said had kind of
a negative forecast about chip stocks, and we could see
more of that kind of move today. Investors are also
worried the Fed is less likely to cut interest rates

(01:32:19):
now because job market is stronger than some people thought.
Whole new consumer industry sprouting up around new moms. The
postpartum period, also known as matressn's is a time of
significant psychological shift for new moms. Research has begun to
understand and document it all, and the wellness industry is
really taking note. They're just pouring out a huge number

(01:32:41):
of beauty products, wellness treatments, and multi day retreats aimed
at new Moms becoming a growing business. Now that I've
mentioned it, You're going to see this all over the place.
Walmart may soon be delivering your Subway sandwich. Beginning this month.
Customers will be able to order Subway directly through Walmart's
app or walmart dot Com. It's Walmart's first restaurant integration

(01:33:04):
within Express delivery. Subway is Walmart's largest in store restaurant tenant,
and the latest home design trend Casey is sleep divorces.
Couples are asking builders and designers for two separate primary
bedrooms in their homes because of snoring, different schedules, competing

(01:33:24):
climate preferences, of course, and wearable trackers that generate data
on how well we sleep or don't sleep when we
sleep with someone. The American Academy for Sleep Medicines says
about thirty one percent of adults sleep separately right now.
And I suppose there were a lot of people sleeping
separately last night if one of them was a hockey
in Carolina and the other one wasn't. I mean that

(01:33:47):
game does it undo everything we thought we learned about
the future when we watched Game one.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
I don't know, but I'm just glad I'm not the
dude who got the puck to the face.

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
Oh for the night.

Speaker 2 (01:33:59):
Ryan, that's gone around. There's just nothing you can do
McNab or whatever.

Speaker 14 (01:34:03):
Oh, I mean, yeah, I don't even want to think
about that. I've seen some pretty devastating of football injuries
and games I've actually been at where I heard the
sound of certain things, and it's better not to think
about it. Uh, but that was really I mean, if
game one was a great game, exciting, game two has

(01:34:25):
even more exciting.

Speaker 4 (01:34:27):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
It was good, definitely cut into my sleep. So here
we go one one. You know you wish the Canes. Yeah,
what are you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (01:34:36):
We'll find out.

Speaker 14 (01:34:37):
So well, we'll talk again Monday.

Speaker 4 (01:34:39):
All right, Denise, have a good weekend. Appreciate it you too.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
Take care from Bloomberg News anyway, Ross, did you lose
a kangaroo buddy? Because it's uh probably little? Yeah, oh
little roue. Well it's not very little.

Speaker 4 (01:34:53):
It's a full ass kangaroo right here.

Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
Man, you know as spar with it?

Speaker 4 (01:34:58):
Oh? Is that how you?

Speaker 1 (01:34:58):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
They should fight it if they want to catch it. Yeah,
that's the thing. From a distance, it looks like you're
abusing the kangaroo. But they love fights. Their passion, dude.
And a lot of those kangaroos when you look at them,
they're like jacked. Oh they're super swollen. Nah, one hundred percent. Yeah,
they're all like mma fighters too. It's you got you
gotta know how to handle them.

Speaker 4 (01:35:18):
So that's anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:35:19):
I just like how they're being so nonchalant in the
middle of uh Kentucky, you know, like, ah, this happens
all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:35:26):
I don't know. Maybe there's a bunch of lunatics with
the kangaroos there. Uh, you never know.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
And uh, all right, you know what, I left myself
so much time I was gonna get into another story,
and I probably should have set up for it. Now
I don't have time for it, so that's unfortunate. I'll
do it as part of my little afternoon news feature,
which Ross is making fun of me over. Yeah, you
start doing a thing, start doing a thing. We're at
four thirty and five thirty instead of the news, I

(01:35:53):
do like a little two minute feature in the afternoon.

Speaker 4 (01:35:56):
And Ross says, I'm trying to steal jobs.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
You know, people are saying that you're going after handed
each job I've heard that.

Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
That was you who said that. I immediate heard Trevor
on Tuesday, and I just heard it a few seconds
ago when you just said it again. Yes, yes, that's self.
Do you deny the allegations? Yes, yes. As the listener
who wrote in uh last week pointed out, it would
make a lot more sense for you to do an
afternoon show, right. Remember they're like, ah, why isn't roster

(01:36:25):
of the afternoon show?

Speaker 3 (01:36:26):
I don't know, because he doesn't show because you A
you're delusional and B I don't want to die.

Speaker 2 (01:36:31):
Mm and other than that though, which finally I got nothing. Okay,
that's what I thought, So yeah, I don't know. It's
just a little thing. Sometimes I do story that we
didn't have time to get to. So that's it's a
nice little outlet for that. But I don't even know
what I'm gonna do it about today, but it'll be
there in the afternoon four. So yeah, if you're bored,

(01:36:54):
not normally listening in the afternoon, maybe you want to
hear a story we didn't get to. That's uh, that's
a good place to make that happen. That's both tryad
and triangle. So whichever of the two stations you're listening on,
you will get a little piece of that. And I
hope to god I don't get handed his job because
I don't want to do another three hours man, although
in a daylight today you could do six hours, because

(01:37:15):
again everybody is absolutely out of their mind, wants to
be like, you know, part of the news cycle and
just creating great audio for us, Like I don't know,
just Scott, how about Scott Pelley? Montage is about how
horrible he is.

Speaker 4 (01:37:32):
This is remember this dude, the.

Speaker 5 (01:37:33):
President doubles down on a falsehood. It's been a busy
day for presidential statements divorced from reality. Well, the president's
real troubles again today we're not with the media but
with the facts.

Speaker 4 (01:37:48):
This comes after a rough start to us. Guy is insufferable,
by the way. Also, you're speaking of insufferable. This is
the dude who's like, I served What did he say?
I served in Afghanistan? I served in He said he
served in combat? In combat, Yeah, he was an embedded reporter.
