Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Fourth of July obviously yesterday, andthen you get this weird Friday thing.
But now we're gonna chug through thisthing. So and I am going to
need your help because I did notRoss did not attempt to attend the the
pull Indick's Park Complex City of Raleighfireworks show yesterday. But oh, how

(00:25):
should I put this? The termcluster does not seem inappropriate here, and
it's not necessarily on the City ofRaleigh. I mean it obviously weather is
what was going on. But I'mjust reading like two different articles this morning
trying to figure out people in groupsor panicky dumb animals. That's not a

(00:50):
new thing. But obviously it soundslike there was some communications issues potentially here.
So you know, a heavy,heavy band of rain moved through just
after nine o'clock, around around ninepoint thirty, and you know, when
it's tats and dogs out there,firework shows don't don't work so well.

(01:15):
So you had everybody over there,and maybe one of you was at this
thing and can tell me what wasgoing on, because I saw people on
Twitter and Facebook talking about this,and obviously they're reporting here. So the
City, by the way says thatthe fireworks show well obviously was quite a
bit shorter. It was only afew minutes. And you know weather was

(01:40):
the reason, all right, thatmakes sense. Nothing you can do about
that. However, people started tothink the park was being like forcibly evacuated,
and I you know, if youthink something's being evacuated, you don't
know why. Obviously you're going towant to get out of there. General
order breaks down, I don't know. But then like you had a bunch

(02:05):
of people too who weren't leaving,But we're in a position to kind of
be in the way for those whowere trying to scramble out of there.
Now, what's crazy is the cityactually has a link for text alerts for
stuff and did not send any notifications. This kind of seemed like maybe that
would be an appropriate time. Also, they said they're not going to reschedule.

(02:29):
Here we go. The city's fourthof July fireworks show was not the
grand display that we planned. Weinitially had a rain delay, threat of
lightning, and then technical difficulties shortenedthe show. The fireworks for this year
have concluded will not be rescheduled.What are you gonna do with the other
with all the fireworks are those Canthose just hang out for a year.

(02:52):
I don't know, because you know, those are not little fireworks. I
mean, you gotta do something withthem, right or I guess you know,
it comes down to maybe who thecontractor was. I don't know how
any of that works, you know, but if you need, you need
somebody to hold onto those for you, be glad to do it. But

(03:15):
yeah, that's all you're gonna get. You know, what they should have
done. They should have gone SanDiego. So in San Diego, Now
this was not intentional. A fewyears ago, basically something happened some technical
thing and every firework went off atonce, which was amazing. But you

(03:39):
know, you don't get the showatmosphere. You just go is it the
apocalypse? What is happening right now? So I think at that point,
you know you're looking at it goingobviously we're gonna have some issues. We've
got weather, we got some technicalstuff. Let's just blow it all to
smitherings and give them the hell ofa show. So that was, you

(03:59):
know, that was what it was. Other firework shows around the area seemingly
folks got out, had a goodtime. I didn't necessarily have the weather
conflict, although there were a coupleof smaller ones canceled and for some reason,
the the pro pro Palestinian folks also. I saw a video after video

(04:26):
of them marching in parades and peoplejust what a buzzkill? Man. Everyone's
excited, kids are, you know, waiting for the candy to spray.
And then you just see these videoswhere you know, free Free Palestine crew
comes rolling through there and everybody's justsilent, just silent. And then that

(04:49):
wasn't enough. There was some flagburning in fact, let's see here.
Yeah, this is nice. SoFourth of July festival got ourselves a nice
little flag burning protest there over atDix. So, uh, you know,
obviously that's why people decided to comeover there, so they could hang

(05:10):
out and uh watch you scream aboutstuff. Uh So, anyway, was
anybody at the rally thing? Isit? Was it as pandemonium as being
described or was it just like kindof obvious. I don't know. I
don't know if it's quite as scandalousor some as some are making it out,
or do you just like stay inyour house and try not to melt

(05:31):
because holy crap, Ross you justchilled, You got you guys didn't go
out do anything right. I'm sorry. I'm taking my constitutional right to take
the fifth today, as it clearlystates that I can take the fifth.
You're not. It's not a wellI mean, I can't disagree there,

(05:53):
but but you're not under criminal investigation? Is there something I need to know?
Or fifth July fifth? I'm awareof the day. I know what
day it is. You know,it would be far funnier if they let
you program the driverless cars. They'reway too compliant with law enforcement. I

(06:15):
know. If you guys saw thatvideo, I was thinking the same thing
dude this morning, loading that audioand I'm like, that car, come
on, man, Yeah, yougotta roll the window down like an eighth
of an inch. Ask if you'rebeing detained. Also point out you're not
a driverless car, you're a traveler, a traveler list car. Oh yeah,

(06:36):
bust out the full sovereign citizen stuff. Apparently one of these driverless cars
just decide, you know, I'mjust gonna go the wrong way in traffic.
Police pull it over and like there'sa whole process where it just instantly
makes a call and some poor guyin a call center's like, oh well,
that's not good. We'll get righton that. Do they get a

(06:57):
ticket? How does that even work? And who gets the ticket? Because
I don't know. I get pulledover and I'm driving the wrong way,
especially right around fourth of July,I'm probably getting a ticket. But like
they the whole thing is programmed.Do you like, roll the window down,
We're making a call. Flashers onand it just would be far funny,

(07:19):
or if it went through the wholesovereign citizen routine, I would be
amused. I was hoping the carwould take off. What do you mean,
let's just say a chase. Well, like if you're in a city
where the you know their policy isto give up. When do you think
we'll see our first driverless car chase? I mean what it's bound to happen.

(07:40):
Yeah, no, it's bound tohappen. It's going to happen,
right, but you know it,the likelihood that it'll happen will be one
not born of you know, aperson making a decision to run. It'll
be like the cars programming surrounding stopswill like malfunction, So it will technically
be a chase because they don't yield, do they pit maneuver the thing.

(08:01):
I think you gotta. I don'tknow, man, Hey hold on,
let me grab the audio here.That's we're already already into this thing.
Just so weird, man. Allright, So this is in Phoenix.
Check this out. Yeah, stopped. It's ninety two Adam Sam or ninety
two Adam two Sam Paul And uh, there's no driver. I connected to

(08:31):
drivers report his call native recorded forCOMB the show. Yeah, this officer,
heines, Phoenix, BD. Soyour car here drove into oncoming lanes
of traffic. Okay, I'll goahead to take a look at back right
now. Yeah, there's like alittle bit of a construction area and it

(08:56):
went into opposing lanes of traffic,which is real bad. All right,
So here's it. And I'm notknocking on the cop because, like I
that you know, this is goingto be a first for at some point
if these things take off, right, like the first time you're dealing with

(09:16):
a driverless car, it's got tobe a trip, right. But also
like if I'm going the wrong wayin traffic, I don't think the cop
is going to try to make excusesfor why I done it. You know
what I'm saying He's not gonna belike, look, you're going you're going
the wrong way into oncoming traffic.It's the middle of the day, it's
uh, you know, uh theholiday atmosphere out there. But you know

(09:41):
there were construction cones, So like, I understand it. Now somebody's getting
a ticket, man, But uhyeah, so that's the process there.
I don't know, it's just weirdbecause it's unusual. I suppose it'll just
be typical at some point and it'llcome down to what the City of Phoenix's
policy is, because remember, likeSan Francisco, they had enough of this

(10:03):
happen where they basically barred him fromcertain areas. In fact, what did
they have They have like twelve incidentsor something with I think it's the same
company. So any who, allright, six sixteen coming up a do
you guys want to see? Infact, let me get the wording correct

(10:24):
here. Do you want to seea super no holds barred presidential debate at
this point? Or have you seenenough? Because Trump has challenged Biden to
a no holds barred presidential debate toprove his confidence or lack thereof. All

(10:46):
right, so what exactly does thatmean? And how could we make it
better? Well, we'll get intothat much more coming up here on the
CaCO Day radio program. You hadthe you had the the Hamas protesters there.
Obviously that's a bit of a buzzkilledfor most people. But you know,
depending I guess on what the policiesof the parade are, there's not

(11:09):
much they could do about it.That wasn't the most interesting video. Did
you guys see the best parade videofrom just Pandemonium? That would be the
the Sunland, which is a suburbof La their independent state parade. And

(11:33):
a guy you probably know his nameis Danny Treo Russ. Did you see
this video? By the way,the Treo video? Yet, it's amazing.
So Treo he has he's got likevintage cars, you know, the
actor. I'm not surprised. Andhe was actually in the parade, so

(11:56):
he is. He's in the parade, He's got his vintage can vertible.
And you know, by the way, how old is Danny Treyo? Anybody
want to guess? I feel likewe just had this conversation, but I
didn't remember the age until I sawit again in the story. He's eighty

(12:16):
Is that true? But whatever?So he's got this baby blue convertible and
then all of a sudden, outof nowhere, he gets smoked. As
car gets smoked. Then he getspartially hit with a water balloon and he
loses his crap. He jumps outof the car and sees the dude who

(12:43):
everyone's kind of indicating through the balloon, and he just walked over and smoked
him. Now he he didn't catchclean all right. I don't know if
it's because he's eighty or what,but yeah, he missed, and then

(13:05):
he is actually they actually shove himdown to the pavement and then all of
a sudden, just pandemonium. Man. And by the way, I think
there's kids in the vehicle too,It's kind of hard to tell. So
and what is this well anyway,So all of a sudden, a large
brawl based on this initial thing opens. The suspect and others jump into the

(13:30):
chaos. The water balloon thrower heardthrough several punches and another dude who I
guess was taking Treyo's side. Otherspounced in there. Treo seen getting up
from the ground grabbing a folding chair. So yeah, now we're into a
wrastling match. A woman then rushesup behind Treyo and literally holds him back,

(13:56):
and then others jump in to restrainhim. Mostly it's people yelling saying,
hey, there's kids around, stopit. Stop it. At least
said they received a report of afight, but the crowd dispersed when officers
arrived, so nobody's been arrested.It's a classic corvette he's in. And
then he started screaming that the dudeshad coward. How much Treo did prison

(14:20):
time right back in the day,I mean, and he didn't do an
insignificant amount. Let's see here.Yeah, he was actually at San Quentin
a drug addiction and I think drugtrafficking. I can't remember exactly what all
the charges were, but he actuallywas in San Quentin, became sober in

(14:46):
nineteen sixty eight, and then eventuallythey released him from his sentence and then
Boom got into acting. And obviouslyhe's been very prolific, appearing in over
four hundred movies. But will foreverbe known as Machete. And I don't
know, maybe you shouldn't throw waterballoons at Machete because dude's not gonna take

(15:11):
it. I don't know. Thatguy will probably sue at some point,
even though he didn't catch him.Square fourth of July and like half the
day on the on the and theseare little things, but they're not little
things when you have the amount ofstaff and the position and they utilize the

(15:33):
account a lot. I'm referring tothe Potus account, right, that thing's
always on their line about jobs gainedor you know something. And it's fourth
of July, and you know,like your background and the logos and stuff
were all Pride stuff. Obviously theywere up, you know, throughout the
month of June, but it waslike middle of the day before somebody at

(15:56):
the White House, after basically gettingcalled out and smoke on Twitter for it,
to say, you know what,we should probably put up a little
fireworks motif or something, and theydid finally make the change. But I
don't know, maybe maybe everyone's justgiven up. So you know, there's
all sorts of speculation he's going toresign on Monday or we'll see, you

(16:19):
know, Bill O'Reilly within the firstfive minutes had an exclusive that he was
going to resign like the day after, and that obviously didn't come to pass.
So I don't know that I'm buyinganyone's prediction. I'll buy the prediction
that there's a ton of discussions goingon. But I don't know. But

(16:40):
you still got a truck on.And so Joe Biden fourth of July got
you know, military families there thatannual event up at the White House.
Let's see how that's going. Bythe way, I've been all over the
world with you, I've been inthen out of battle. Anyway, what

(17:00):
what he he was straight off promptertoo for a while. And you can
you can like spot the mechanisms nowor staff's just trying to get him rained
in. Oh but it but it, but it trucked on. Oh he
also uh he tried the uh thelosers and suckers thing, although he didn't

(17:22):
even get that out. And bythe way, why are this is purportedly
not a political event. Why areyou doing that? Why are you doing
and and and to be clear,if Trump was up there doing that and
he spent you know, decided thathe was going to go I don't know,
pistol whip Hillary or you know whoever. As president, I would find

(17:47):
it equally as distasteful. Just dothe event. He got a bunch of
military families who showed up, andeven if they like or don't like you,
or obviously they're cognizant of the newsthat's going on. That's a big
deal. Man. You could goto the White House for Fourth of July.
That's just can you not for fiveseconds? Last thing? And I

(18:11):
used to think when I was asenator, was there were always congestion on
the highways. There's no congestion anymore. No, we go on the highway,
there's no congestion. And so whatthey wait they get me to stop
talking, they'll say, we justshut down all the roads. Mister president,
you're gonna lose all the votes ifyou don't get in anyway, I'll
be back out. Thank you,thank you, thank you, thank you.

(18:33):
I love you. I'm sorry Iwas wrong. Go back to the
political stuff. Well, I don'tknow how to interpret that. What do
you mean? What do you meanthere's no con that's d C. When
you guys been to DC lately,they get a traffic jam at seven in
the morning on a Sunday. Butalso, you're kind of right, when

(18:53):
you're the president, you don't sitin a lot of bumper to bumper.
So I don't know if that's thejoke he was trying to make or what
that was. But whole thing wasstrange, and it was even strange with
Kamala who was doing the intro there. Now, I saw some grifters on

(19:17):
the social media like, oh,the president thinks it's Christmas. No he
doesn't. And with the amount ofstuff that you have available to sit there
and reflect on, you know,just his past performance over the last few
days, like you don't need todig this deep. But the change was

(19:38):
awkward, and I think if youdivorce from everything else, it probably would
have gone unnoticed. But obviously thereis a microscope and I'm gonna play it
for you. And then we getto the radio audio that I know you're
you're waiting for. But so hereis the handoff that let's just say it
was not so smooth, and wegive thanks to our commander in chief,

(20:00):
the President of the United States,the extraordinary President of the United States,
Jump Biden. Oh, happy IndependenceDay? All right, all right,
No he didn't think it's Christmas.Sorry, I just I'm I'm not needing

(20:23):
to go there if you want confusion, but and I want you to try
to process this through your hungover brain. It's clear in this cut in this
Philadelphia radio interview, what he thinkshe's saying or what he thinks he wants
to say, But that doesn't negatethe fact that he's unable to explain this

(20:48):
very this thing he's probably said athousand times, by the way, or
at least the two separate, thesetwo separate statements he wants to make one.
He served as vice president to JoeBier, to Barack Obama, first
black president. His vice president iseither the first Indian or first black vice

(21:14):
president, and first woman vice president. Okay, all of these things are
true. Everyone knows this. It'sit's not it wouldn't be unusual. And
remember he's on radio in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania, a very important state, Philly
obviously a hotbed for Democrat votes.You just got to motivate people to get

(21:37):
out there. If if you getthe entirety of the black population, who
he is clearly pandering to here,but without hot sauce. I might add,
if apathy rules that that group ofvoters in Philly, you're cooked in
Pennsylvania. So you know, that'swhy he's trying to roll all this stuff

(22:00):
out there. Like his his motivesare pandery there's no question, but the
whole thing comes out so awkwardly way. I'm proud, as I said,
the first vice president, first blackwoman served with black president, proud to
all, the first black woman inthe Supreme Court. And there's just so

(22:21):
much that we can do because togetherthere's nothing. Look United States America,
all right? So that that wholething was weird? Does he think he's
the first black woman president? Ross? Do you believe that Joe Biden thinks
it's Christmas and that he's the firstblack woman president. I do know.
I think it's everything you just saidit was before, but his brain can't

(22:42):
put those three facts together. Yes, and that in and of itself is
problematic enough when you when you literallylay it with everything else, or or
the uh radio producer for that radioshow hit him with the special button that

(23:03):
I didn't know was a thing.And I've been in this business forever.
So there are some amazing conspiracy theoriesfloating around over what happened with the what
happened with the debate? In fact, here we go. Zev Shalev started

(23:26):
one of these threads, and bythe way, the hashtag is debate audio
gate. Hey, thirty year oldTV executive producer. Here, I've run
Biden's debate audio through multiple digital enhancersand correctors and can't repair it. Now
my brain's trying unfair. What thehell is this guy talking about? What
do you mean you've run it throughdigital enhancers and correctors. You sound like

(23:52):
a bad CSI scene that gives peoplean inaccurate understanding of technology. Right,
They're like, Oh, let's takethis photo where there's a reflection on a
mirror in the back of this grainyphoto in hands and hands and hands.
All right, No, can youclean up audio? Sure, there's a

(24:12):
function with an Adobe audition, whichis a really kind of the standard in
the world of radio for audio editing, and you can you can take a
segment. So let's say that there'sa hum behind some audio, right,
you're outside, you're recording it,and there's like, I don't know,

(24:33):
maybe there's a generator in the background. If you can capture that little slice
and it will remove or attempt toremove as much of that particular wavelength.
The problem is is anytime your voicecrosses in and out of it, it's
also clipping that. But it doesan okay job. I don't think that's

(24:56):
what this idiot's talking about? Herewe go frequencies, unnaturally boosted, cut
words clipped. He sounds breathy andhissy, and his mid range vocal frequencies
are de emphasized. This is thisis a word salad as somebody who's who's
done audio editing his whole life.This level of variation is an accidental It

(25:23):
needs to be investigated. All right, Ross, You're literally sitting there with
your finger on the button. Whatis this guy talking? Is there a
secret producer button where you just sawit? There is? Yeah, And
I've used it on you for likea decade now. So anytime I sound
I screw up, it sounds likeI don't. I put a pitch in

(25:45):
your voice. I've been doing thisnow for probably said twelve years. Most
people don't know. They're shocked whenthey when they meet you that your voice
is actually you sound like Ving Raims. But I put like a high end
pitch on you and I dropped thebass and it's very very complicated. But
yeah, you sound like a likea three hundred pound black man. How
many digital enhancers and correctors do youhave? Uh? I will do you

(26:07):
personally. I have all of them. You have all of them. Yeah,
I collect them. They're my passion. I don't know what this person
is talking about. I have noidea they're you know. Oh, I
can't salvage the audio. Well,sometimes what you have is what you have,
right, You can't. Yes,if if the audio is crap,

(26:29):
if the person's voice is shot,if they keep rambling and cutting themselves off
and not finishing their sentences, there'snothing you can do about it. There's
only something right. You can Youcan try to polish it, you can
try to paint it up, butI mean, it is what it is,
right. And and by the way, it's funny because if you remember
just before the debate, I jokeinglysuggested this with AI. Remember I'm like,

(26:53):
you know what they're gonna do withCNN is you get the AI in
there. And then Joe Biden willsound like he did in the nineteen seventies,
like his mouth will be moving,but it'll be the audio they're they're
putting through the board or whatever.Yeah, it'll be like a kung Fu
movie. It'll be really really Yes, Yes, okay, I joked about
that. These people are serious.Uh, here we go. A man
who I know who was in Iknow who was in a band and a

(27:15):
soundboard expert. Listen to Biden duringthe debate and at the after party,
and his opinion is that CNN quotebuzzed his voice. He said, it's
easy to do. What does thatmean buzzed his voice? I'm serious,
I've never heard that. I reallytrying to say that. I'm trying to

(27:37):
interpret what they said. The onlything I can I can the conclusion I
can come to there. They're thinkingthat maybe they flanged his voice, which
is what happens when you flange something. You'll have picture an audio track,
you know, on track one,and you'll take the same audio track and
on track two, and you'll justput it a millisecond before you get it,
and it'll add like a like aflange effect. But maybe that's what

(28:00):
they think. It's a buzz ButI'm not hearing that at all. Yeah,
and you know, by the way, you don't even have to move
the left and right channels or orwell yeah, now it's a preset if
you want saying. I'm think becauseI'm old, I'm thinking like back in
the day, that's how you woulddo it before you had the preset.
Back in my day, we hadto make your own flanged audio. Yeah,

(28:22):
you could make flanged audio, bythe way, in like two seconds,
right, yeah, okay, butyou're not flanging stuff on the fly
unless you have two audio sources withone of them on a delay. Right
you hear how to describe this.You could do it in real time,

(28:47):
but you would have to have likewhat you know, you'd have to have
the two audio sources. That's aboutto say, you'd have to have two
different mics or audio sources in frontof it, right, and so like
feasibly, I guess you could doit if you're running a put a mic
out and a line out and there'sa delay, But that didn't happen like
that's not no, none of thisdoesn't sound like that at all. It

(29:07):
just sounds like an old man whocan barely talk, who can't finish his
sentences. That's what you're hearing.And they're sitting there and I think they're
so brainwashed, and they so wentalong for the longest time that he's great
and as sharp as attack, andsuddenly he's not, and you're just trying
to cope. I think with thisis a whole bunch of cope. I
just all of these audio experts.It's just maddening when like, this is

(29:27):
your business and it's clear these peopledon't know anything. They don't know they
don't know anything about anything, butthey're so positive and they're so confident that
they do know things, but theydon't. If that makes sense, it's
yeah, from my point of view, I am so excited to finally see
the conspiracy lunatic stuff coming from theleft when it comes to this, when

(29:51):
it comes to bad performance or whyyour polls aren't showing the way you think
they should be showing, or whyyour candidate is doing so badly. I'm
so exc cited that they're now onthe crazy train. Well, but now
let's let's be honest. They've beenon the crazy train for stuff, for
you know, the dog whistley stuff. I consider that crazy. This is
different. This is different. Thisis a this is a different slice Dan.

(30:15):
This is you know, he's beinghigh. Think about that. They
believe that CNN is in the tankfor Trump, giving hand signals to Trump,
Dana Bashwaz. They believe that theNew York Times in the tank for
Trump. They're doing all these thingsas sabotage Biden that's crazy town. Well,
and the irony is they don't haveto mess with the audio if they're

(30:37):
hitting him with the directional microwave weapon. Uh, like the one from a
Havannah, the Havana syndrome, thesyndrome. Yes, yes, see Uh.
And if you thought it couldn't getany crazier, let me do this.
We'll take a break because yeah,they went there and uh it's looney
Tunes and it's next hang on.But where we get off on into a

(31:00):
crazy town is Biden was being assaultedwith a directed energy weapon to diminish his
performance. The proof, by theway, is that if the next day
at the Raleigh rally, he youknow, he was energetic, he was
boisterous, and so it's obviously adirected energy weapon. That was the difference

(31:23):
because, as you know, livingin North Carolina, subsonic, directed energy
or audio weapons can't be used inthe Jim Graham Building. It's just a
known fact. So so he wentwith this thing. They literally Havana syndromed

(31:44):
him. I can't even read thiswith a straight face, man, And
people are all in on this.What cosmy days? What is noticeable?
As he held on for ninety minutescame back to himself, and as you
saw the next day, was acompletely differ from person what convince they were
at the that we had completed theshow, we could do the promo and

(32:05):
go home. Are you pointing adirected energy weapon at me too constantly?
Okay? Oh, I'm just soused to it. I would explain a
lot there, all right. Soanyway, Yeah, it looks like we
have two more hours to I'm like, we didn't even get a chance to
talk with Pete yet. I enjoythat segment. I think the audience does
as well. And lord knows,after the insanity in Asheville we talked about

(32:31):
earlier this week, In fact,can you put that back up on the
button where I'm gonna need that later? And we talked to Pete with the
anarchist book fair and what what surelooks like physical assault with a with a
hate crime attached. We'll have toget into the details there with him,

(32:53):
and obviously the Biden insanity as well. Luckily, over at AP, I
think they've kind of figured out howto cover this. It's very interesting to
watch the different news outlets all ofa sudden fundamentally change the way that they
did everything having to acknowledge this issue. I would say that a lot of

(33:17):
the MSNBC hosts don't care. Ithink Joy Reid said she'd vote for him
in a coma which she may getthe chance. The Economist, I I
didn't believe the first time I checkedto make sure that was real. The
Economists front page is a walker withthe presidential seal attached to the front,

(33:45):
and I'm like, that has tobe photoshop. Twitter is very dicey now,
but you know that's that's the costof freedom or whatever you want to
call it, comitment to the FirstAmendment. Right, You really have to
do your homework on stuff because ifit's even if it is real, the

(34:08):
amount of people that will post storiesthat are like fifteen years old, and
I always get I get a littleheartbroken because I'll see the story and I
don't recognize it. I'm like,oh, but they've just screenshot like a
very tight title screen and like withno date on it, and You're like,
oh, man, please tell methis is a new story, Like

(34:28):
what did I see this morning?And then it was such a buzzkill when
I found out it was really old. Oh it was a woman who was
on vacation and she you know,she's hiking and she comes across a bunch
of people who are on a They'rea search party trying to find a missing
woman. So she joins the searchparty, spends the entire day looking,

(34:52):
you ready, for herself. Turnsout that somebody had reported her missing when
she didn't check in, so theyliterally set a search party like asaps.
So she spent the day trying tofind herself. Just very existential for the
damn things like twelve years old.So you got to do your homework that
economists cover with the walker with thepresidential seal. I was like, that

(35:17):
has to be a photo shot.It's not. It's not. So they're
like, they're all in, AndI would again warn you just because they're
saying the things that they should havebeen saying. They're not off the hook,

(35:37):
right. You know, you don'tget to do one thing right once
and have it negate all of theinsanity, especially that she saw during when
Trump was in office, but youknow, just the general bias reporting that
we see. This is AP's headline. Biden at eighty one, often sharp
and focused, but sometimes could fusedand forgetful. Well, what kind of

(36:07):
bet are you hedging here? Man? Often sharp and sometimes yeah, often
sharp and focused, but sometimes confusedand forgetful detailing. The New York Times
did of the governor's meeting, whichuh, at first Roy Cooper was going
to be there in person, andthen nobody would answer, and then I

(36:30):
guess he he you know, joinedit on zoom or whatever what I want
the media out there asking because thestatement was that all the democratic governors are
still all in for Biden. Ohit was Roy Cooper. I'm curious,
stick a mic in his face.Where is he at on this? What

(36:51):
are his thoughts? He was atthe Raleigh rally, he was one of
the speakers there the day after.But how can we how come we don't
know the thoughts not just of ourgovernor but somebody whose name was floated to
potentially replace him. And I getit, it's dicey for him politically,
but you know, the absolute lackof things where Cooper can't control the narrative

(37:15):
like you saw during Corona, wherethey just made up this this queuing process
for questions that just happened to notinclude people who would ask critical questions.
For the most part, that's wild, and that is standard practice here in
North Carolina. Meanwhile, Pat McCrory, when he was in office, they

(37:37):
didn't mind throwing a question at himover stuff that there was intentionally asked to
either embarrass or challenge him, whichis fine, you're the governor. So
where is he at over this?Where is let's see here? Why is
the New York Times finally doing abit of journalism some of the statements,

(38:00):
like he told the governors, let'ssee here. I remember we already talked
about how between ten and four he'samazing. He also said that they're gonna
he told the governors reportedly that they'regoing to try to not schedule stuff after
eight o'clock. Oh, that shouldbe incredibly troubling, looks I. I

(38:25):
yes, I get why. Youcan go, well, we're going to
schedule stuff earlier in the day.Some presidents, remember, remember remember the
when we all learned what a lidwas within about five minutes of this administration
being sworn in. Oh, hecalled a lid, right that was?
And that was like this weird talkingpoint where it was just so unusual.

(38:49):
But it's not unusual for presidents tohave quirks within their schedules. Donald Trump
had a quirk within his schedule,and they and they chewed him up every
day or chance they could on it. Right, what was Trump's thing?
He would get up and in theresidence he would watch like Fox and Friends

(39:10):
and whatever else he watched, andhe would and he would consume the morning
shows before coming down. In fact, they went so far ross. Do
you remember when they wrote an articlesaying that the reason he didn't go to
the Oval office early is because ghosts. Do you remember that way? I
do remember that. Yes, theyliterally said that Donald Trump was scared of

(39:31):
ghosts and so he wouldn't come downearly until there were a bunch of people
around because ghosts. The main thingtoo, with his schedule was sort of
the opposite. They were always like, oh, well, he never goes
to bed, He's always up becausethat's when he would tweet. Right,
So it's like, oh well,Biden just sleeps all day. It was
great, Look it was. Itwas great for us doing a morning show.

(39:52):
I've often said this when you dowhen you do an afternoon show or
you do late morning, midday somethinglike that, you get breaking use events,
right, so you can go thepresident speaking, Let's let's jip it
as they say, let's let's goahead and listen in. And it's instant
content. It's fresh content. Right, you haven't heard it before because it's
live, it's happening now, andin real time. I can offer my

(40:15):
childish observations in the morning. Younever really got that except with Trump's Twitter
account. We did. Ready,we kicked that show off and like last
minute stopped for me. Has hetweeted anything yet, because you know he
would. He would either never sleepor he'd get up so damn early and

(40:36):
just start banging away. And andhe could put out some doozies before the
show ever started. And and thenit turned you know, that whole thing
was, well, he's never sleeping, he's on the adderall he's scared of
goes uh. He would call intoFox and Friends, which cheesed all of
them the because they're you know,finally there's one president who literally isn't at

(41:01):
their beck and call. The wholething was wild. But if he's telling
the governors, hey, we're notgonna do stuff after eight, that's a
story in and of itself. Andthen and you know, you can say
it's a joke or whatever, butthe governor of Hawaii. Josh Green,
who is a physician by the way, was asking Biden questions about the status

(41:23):
of his health. I guess hekind of got nominated whether you're the doctor
you ask him, and Biden reportedlyreplied that his health was fine. It's
just my brain. Now again,do I think that he might he was
joking or attempting to joke when hesaid that. Probably right, he's he's

(41:45):
amongst friends. I don't know howthe conversation was going, like the energy
of it prior to that. Soyeah, But as somebody who has made
many an inappropriate joke at an inappropriatetime, I can't even fathom that,
dude, because you know, thequote's going to get out there, somebody

(42:07):
in that room's going to leak something. And sure enough, to The New
York Times, they had a source. Let's see, according to three people,
they had three sources familiar with whattook place, a remark that some
in the room took as a joke, but at least one governor did not.
Who was that governor? Was itRoy Cooper? Was it the Hawaii

(42:30):
governor? Who was it General MallleyDylan, Biden's campaign chairer, who attended
the meeting and said in a statementthat he had said all kidding aside,
And I think there's one other personwho said, yeah, he may have
said that. He did say it, So again, do I think it
was joking? Yeah? But youknow this stuff's going to get reported.

(42:52):
Why are you making this woman's jobso hard? And then for CNN or
for AP to essentially right, thatis their headline often sharp and focus,
sometimes confused and forgetful. It's justmy brain. It's so cringey. Man,
all right, I can't dwell juston this because it's damn depressing.

(43:15):
So coming up on the show,let's see here, I would get a
hawk twoey update, Sure, whynot? And the Daily Beast, Oh,
the Daily Beast thought they had themselvesa scoop as a video emerges of
Trump sitting in a golf cart talkingto some folk. I don't know which

(43:35):
club he's at, and he's probablyup at his Jersey club, just you
know, cutting up and tie.It's really crazy, like the like like
him during his presidency's just like showingup to weddings and stuff and just work
in the room. Whenever you seethose videos come out, and can you

(43:55):
imagine you're having your I mean,granted, you're having it at a country
club owned by Trump, so there'sa higher probability than your local golf course.
But he would enjoy doing that stuff. So these videos would emerge,
and in this one, and we'llplay the audio for you, he is.
He doesn't hold back, and DailyBeasts is like, can you believe

(44:17):
what he said? Yes? Yeah, At no point did I think this
has to be a deep fake.I'm like that that's real. Hey,
good morning, Casey. How areyou. I'm pretty good, sir.
Though I'm under attack from Ross's directionalenergy weapons, so I just found out.
Yeah, So I just wanted tosay that they're right. I was
the culprit. I built the energyweapon during the debate. I took a

(44:42):
part my microwave above it and hookedit up to my direct TV dish and
beamed it right down the CNN streamline. The only thing that protected Trump was
his hair. I can't seem toget it past his hair. It's got
to be some kind of you know, helmet from like the X Men and
stuff. You know, well,magneto. Maybe I had another theory,

(45:04):
sir, What if it's the Bronzer? Because you notice immediately Biden went out
and painted himself orange. Maybe they'relike, a, yeah, so I'm
kind of sunscreen. Yeah it mightbe right. I haven't tested at that,
but I just can't seem to getto Trump man, but I can
get to Biden real easy. Yeah. But the energy we yes around and

(45:27):
I built it from the anarchist cookbook. Showed you how to build it.
If anyone's interested, it does havesome stuff in there. All right,
Well, thanks for the full confession, Chris. We do appreciate it.
All right, So there's your culprit. Oh man, all right, let
me let me get over to this. So. Yeah, so it was
Daily Beast and then every Biden campaignor Democrat Twitter account running the little snippet

(45:53):
from Trump talking to some fellow golfers, and they thought they had themselves a
pretty big scoop. I'll let yoube the judge. How did I do
with the other night at all?Broken down pilot crab? Yeah, it's
a bad guy. He just quit. You know, he's quitting. The
risk is that right? Yep?I got him out of there, and
that means we have Kamala. Ithink she's going to be better. She's

(46:15):
so bad, she's so pathetic,it's so amazing. It's just I just
can't imagine. But can you imaginethat guy with dealing with Putin and the
president of China, who's a fierceperson. He's a fierce man, a
very tough guy. And they've seenhim, they've probably you can't, but
they just announced he's he's probably quitting. You just keep knocking him out right,

(46:40):
all right? All right? Andso there's about nine different scandals according
to the Daily Beast analysis. Onecan you believe he called Joe Biden all
broken down piece of crap? Yes? I can. We got the the
Asheville anarchist book, fair hate crimestuff, and of course just you know,
everything going on with Biden, soplenty to fill that segment. That'll

(47:04):
be a half hour from now.Oh boy. All right. So yeah,
so that you've probably seen the video. It's Trump. He's chatting with
I don't club members, whoever,whoever's there, and he's got some thoughts.
And I'm just going to replay thisaudio once again because in forty one
seconds there's three big scandals, accordingto Daily Beast, one the insulting of

(47:29):
Biden, two the insulting of Kamala, and three would they they they present
as a romance between Gee Putin andDonald Trump, because you know, that's
that is part of the narrative thereand here we go the other night,
broken down pilot. Yeah. Oh, and I'm sorry there's a fourth.

(47:52):
They're saying, it's clear that Trumplikes his ego stroked. I won't disagree
with you there, but I willalso point out, I don't know if
you know this, that's something thattends to permeate politicians too. I know
a lot of politicians that just loveit when people are and it's not just
politicians. A lot of people likeit when you're sitting around everyone's telling you

(48:15):
how great you are. People reactto it in different ways. People can
be humble. I find it,and Ross, I think you're the same
way, just because we're kind ofpeople don't realize that we're basically kind of
introverts outside of the radio. Iget embarrassed by that stuff, and like
I appreciate the conversation, but likeit's it's strange. Whereas some people,

(48:38):
especially people who are very extroverted,who enjoy having all those conversations, and
I'll have them, and I youknow, I love getting into a good
conversation with one of our listeners orclients or any of the rest of it.
But like, Ross and I areclowns in a clown car man,
and people are like, you're changingthe world. No, we're just we're

(49:02):
playing audio and making wrestling weather stuff. So I like, I get the
vibe there. And if you wantto be critical on that, fine Daily
Beast. But I know I've like, I've literally met one of your reporters
who might have been one of themost repugnant people I've ever had the misfortune
of being pushed next to at aradio thing and they were in the booth

(49:25):
directly next to me. So uh, any who, All right, let's
let's get back to the audience.He just quit, you know, he's
quitting. The risk is that right? Yep? I got him out of
that, And that means we haveKamala. I think she's going to be
better. She's so bad, she'sso pathetic, it's so amazing. It's

(49:46):
just I just can't imagine. Butcan you imagine that guy with dealing with
Putin and the president of China,who's a fierce person. He's a fierce
man, a very tough guy,and they see him. They they just
announced he's he's probably quitting, allright, So this is like this was

(50:09):
supposed to be the scandal there.One is the the assessment of Biden and
Kamala. I guess one and two. I mean, did you think that's
not what he thought? And ifand if you did, because I don't
know you've been in a coma.Did you not see any of the giant

(50:31):
truth posts that Trump was doing yesterday? Like this is the you're not scandalizing
that. But I think the mostimportant part is Putin and g are serious
dudes, and they are not gooddudes, as evidence by literally everything you

(50:51):
see with Putin, right is uh, you know, people falling out of
buildings, people getting poisoned, peoplegetting dis appeared, thrown up in gulags
where they didn't get poisoned. Right, This is this is old school USSR
stuff. I keep thinking about thatguy. I remember the meeting where disagreeing

(51:12):
and like he just they just gotup around him and disappeared him. All
right. So that ross is referringto g right, But let's be clear
that was the party meeting, whichyou know there really is only the one
party that wasn't some dude that washis predecessor. Right, that's the former
president, the former president, right, Chin, I want you, I
want you to envision the Democratic nominatingconvention in August, right, and Jimmy

(51:38):
Carter or Bill Clinton standing there,and then they say something that Biden or
Harris or whoever it is doesn't like, and you never hear from them again.
Right, And in the middle ofit, they just surround him and
take him out, like walk himout. They escorted him out of the
building on a field trip up toa farm or something. I don't know.
Yeah, no, they just you'reout of here. That's a former
president or prime minister, right,former head of China. Right, so

(52:01):
Trump, I mean, they saidfair and it's an honest point. These
guys, right President Jijing Paning eleven, if you want to call them,
they're very fierce competitive people and theyneed to be you need to be serious
when dealing with them, and thisadministration is not. In fact, a
lot of people would say that Bidenbows too much to China, and there's
reasons for that possibly well, Andbut you know, also what's crazy is

(52:27):
they talk about Trump was never hardon him, he did the tariffs,
and then they're horrible with the tariffs, and then Biden maintained the tariffs.
Right. So there's just so muchdouble speak with this crap. But the
thing that has to be in theback of your mind, whether it is
dealing with Putin or the China attacksus cyber attacks us all day every day.
The Communist Party has their toe inthe water of anyone who is a

(52:52):
corporation or doing business in China,right and wigers right where they literally are
selling stuff on their own corrupt websites. American consumers are buying it, and
it's it's some of it is cottonpicked by slaves. I want you to
I want you to think about it. It's cotton picked by slaves. It

(53:12):
couldn't be more on the nose ofproblematic in a world where everything's problematic and
and and and obviously in China alsoin their quest to control things, has
proxy votes within the UN that.Don't get me wrong, the US is
also about proxy. We have along history of this. But how China

(53:37):
does it now is wild because theygo in like they'll go into some despot
nation where there's some dictator and andliterally just pay the dude off and then
they'll create these jobs, but actuallythey bring a bunch of Chinese over to
do the jobs. It's part ofthe deal. And hey, at the
UN, will you vote this waylike this is and it may bankrupt them.

(54:01):
The Sri Lankan thing was almost entirelyfinanced by China. They took a
big loss there. But make nomistake, Jijinping is he's probably worse than
Putin because remember his ideology, whichPutin partially abscribes to. But the ideology
in China still is, Hey,if we have to starve thirty million of

(54:22):
our of our countrymen to accomplish whatwe want, that's cool. Whereas I
think Putin he didn't go famine inUkraine. He found a different route.
But you can't go in thinking youcan't be Hillary. Remember Hillary Clint with
the reset button? Did you seethe way Putin looked at her? Do
we all remember that video as Secretaryof State when she brought in the off

(54:45):
it was an office depot that hadthose commercials forever, We got a reset
button. This dude was literally inthe middle of building secret Olympic tunnels and
she's running around, you know,to cheat, and she's running around.
I got a reset button. Youwant to us the red button. You
can't approach him like that, butare you Look? You also don't have

(55:05):
to go the way that he dealtwith that Taliban dude. You can be
strategic about it, but you cannever think that they have your best interest
and understandably so. They're the presidentsof other countries. The whole thing is
wild. Man. You can't dealwith them like you deal with New Zealand.
Yes, is my point? Allright, seven forty three. Oh,

(55:29):
speaking of other countries, I'm goingto thank the UK. I'll do
that coming up. Who do wegot Jeff marw Oh that's right, Jeff
margrew the short stick, as didwe Yes, oh man, But you
get to talk about landfall and onehundred and one degree records. So it's
a busy day for you, sir, Yeah, it is. You're right
about Hurricane Barrel made landfall near Touloomas a category two hurricanes is going to

(55:52):
a weekend hour the yucatam Panicsula beforeemerging back out into the Gulf, where
it may restrengthen to a hurricane asit approaches the border of Mexico and Texas.
Did he hit any of the Kardashiansbecause they're always into loom, aren't
they. Yeah, maybe it will. That'd be a shame. Anyway,
I'm sorry. I'm not going todrag you all. That's good. Yeah,
maybe it will. Some heavy rainwould be beneficial to Texas as that

(56:14):
gets closer. They need it.As far as our weather, the big
story, the heat and humidity andexcessive heat warning is in effect until eight
o'clock this evening, with a hightoday around one hundred degrees. That's bad
enough, when he added, thehumidity level will feel closer to one oh
five, maybe as high as oneten. That's where the heat indcks may
top out today, So be careful. You're gonna be spending a lot of
time outdoors of that heat and humidity. Also temperature climb some scattered afternoon they're

(56:36):
eating thunder storms overnight, a loveseventy eight hot dagg in tomorrow with scattered
thunderstorms ninety seven the high with thetriple digit heat in decks on Sunday,
a little bit cooler with scattered showersand thunderstorms at a high close to ninety.
All right, thank you, we'lltalk in an hour. Appreciate it.
So, yeah, I want abig thank you, and I'll explain
why on the just really made theIndependence Day that much more special in my

(57:00):
opinion. Also tourist Goring story,because why the heck not. We'll throw
that in and much more coming upCacoda Radio Progress use me. CNN and
the Trump campaign are in cahoots andthey're using a magic audio processing thing to
sabotage Trump or firing directional energy weaponsat him too for whatever reason. I

(57:24):
don't know, just just buckets ofwhat is that? What do you Russ?
Do you have? Is that theFox channel still up? What is
that? What are you talking about? I'm not doing this all right?
So anyway, we got we gotthat, we got self driving cars,

(57:47):
just you know, all sorts ofinsanity. And we got our annual list
of the drunkest cities in America.I don't know. They always put this
out around fourth of July. Sowhat's wild is one state has seven cities
in the top ten. And Ithink you know what state it is,

(58:12):
Wisconsin. We're by the way inWisconsin. Do you don't hear that?
You don't hear the channel open?I'm putting the podcast together and getting rid
of obviously you have that you havethe Adobe pot open or something. I
can't anyway, So in Wisconsin thenumber Green Bay, Wisconsin is number one.

(58:38):
Oh Claire is number two. Bythe way, Oh Claire has a
serial assaulter. Somebody's running around throwingcheese at cars and they're trying to get
to the bottom of it. Whichis the most Wisconsin crime I've ever heard.
Okay, now it's different. It'sthat's clearly the fox unanchored? Is

(59:01):
that the is it? Can yousee it on the on the meters on
the board. I'm not seeing anything. Are you feeling okay? Are you?
Are you all right? You're nothaving like headaches? Headache? Tell
you where all the hammered people are? And I feel like I'm one of

(59:22):
them right now or i I'm onhallucinogenics. You're sounded like these crazy people
man with Biden and the stupid energyweapons. You're just do you have a
headache? Should we leave? Weshould probably leave? Should we leave early?
This is contact the most elaborate plan. So you try to get me
to but we can't. There's there'sno plan, dude. So Claire Wisconsin

(59:44):
number two, and then Appleton Madison. Let's see saw and Lacrosse all on
there is crazy. Now. Thelist includes where they did surveys about who
binge drinks. Also U drunk drivingarrest that are Owi's as they call him
in Wisconsin. That's southerly. Areyou Is that one of your stupid star

(01:00:08):
Trek toys. I'm not hearing athing. I know what you're talking about.
Dude. There's no sort of beamweapon trying to get you off the
air. Is it set to stunat least? I mean technically, I'm

(01:00:32):
not going to set off a silentsense because there's audio. I'll plow through
this. What's crazy is of thetop twenty drunkest cities, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa are most of them. Theoutliers are one in Montana, Missoula,

(01:00:53):
and the only let's see in theFairbanks, Alaska. And then there's
only one on the coast or acoastal state, and that is New York
where Watertown Fort Drum made the list. And I don't even know where that
is so, but perhaps it's oneof those parts of New York that makes
you want to binge drink. Allright, So I said the fourth of

(01:01:15):
July was extra special yesterday and itkind of was. Remember we're just a
couple of years out from the twohundred and fiftieth, which we the amount
of money that's been spent to plana party at the governmental level. I'm
I'm still I'm still wondering if that'sgonna work out or if that'll just be

(01:01:37):
a giant throw money away a thing. But we won't know for two years.
But this one was special because asan added bonus, And I want
to apologize because most of the memesI saw yesterday were making fun of the
British. Even I even you know, said the Blue a thirteen colony lead

(01:01:57):
at some point on Twitter. AndI feel kind of bad because Britain surrendered
yesterday and like that nostalgic feeling,which it's nostalgia that we weren't even there
for right, because we're not twohundred and fifty years old. So I
mean, how much better is yourFourth of July holiday coupled with British surrender?

(01:02:22):
Because remember, the declaration of Independencewas a thing, and then you
know, then we had to dothe war. So in that lifetime,
this this date already became you know, the date on which it celebrated because
it was the date when the publicationswere posted, and you know, the

(01:02:43):
declarations were literally sent around to beread, to be read, and then
years later you got to couple itwith the British surrender. That's amazing.
That felt so good. Voters inthe UK basically turned the Conservative Party known
as the Tories into a like athird party and handed the reins to the

(01:03:05):
moon Bets man. And it's noteven close. People on like X and
social media, like friends that Ihave over in the UK, and they're
like super excited, like all theirproblems are gonna be solved now. Oh
really they gonna they gotta, They'regonna solve them. Huh what do they
do? They honestly believe that youask, no, like, no,
it's people don't Oh you can hearit. No, No, it's no.

(01:03:30):
I was reading something here read welluh huh Okay, they're sub screwed,
man. Oh, I mean itis what it is. We're here
doing our thing and Pete Calender ourradio buddy to the South the middays w

(01:03:51):
BT and you can listen in viathe iHeart radio app. He's here,
but I will warn you. Whilehe is often sharp and focused, toccasionally
he's confused and forgetful. Hey Pete, what's up? Man? I just
need more time to sleep, that'sall I need to work less. I
need more sleep, don't we all? Don't we all? Yeah, it's

(01:04:12):
only your brain though, right,it's just my brain. And I made
a mistake. That was my bad. Uh yeah, I'm more. Look,
all of those is got to saythe queen dude can what a what
a gift last weekend or last yesterday? Right, not only is it the
fourth of July, but we getto do one where the British surrender at

(01:04:34):
the same time. Absolutely amazing.I wasn't gonna drag in an international politics,
but they're cooked, man. Idon't know what's going on over there.
So well it's well, it's allunder the heading of a rejection of
the quote unquote ruling elite. DavidStrom had a really great piece this week

(01:04:55):
in uh at hot air dot comand kind to put all of the all
of the various failures of the quoteruling elite, right, the establishment,
whatever you want to call them.The institutional leaders have failed and it has
become you know, very apparent tocitizens in Western countries. And that's what

(01:05:18):
you're seeing is a rejection this populismthat has been rising. It's because the
institutions and the people who lead themhave failed. Everybody sees it and we're
not We're not buying it any longer. And this idea is sort of transnational
movement among Western leaders is being rejectedand right now they're sort of still in

(01:05:42):
the denial phase. So I don'twhat. I'm not an expert on UK
politics at all, but it makessense. It's just throw the bums out.
It doesn't matter what their political philosophyis. When you pursue the sort
of transnational agenda and you're failing yourcitizens at hall, then yeah, you're
gonna get tossed. Well, sure, but they promised more of the same.

(01:06:05):
One of the people who may bePrime Minister, I'm not sure exactly
where that's all at right now.She was like, you know, for
the sake of diversity, who caresif we have to wait an extra week
to go to the doctor. Andthat's on top of the months that they
wait. Sometimes in France, mccrone'sparty had to make a deal with the

(01:06:25):
essentially the squad so that La Penndoesn't get in there. In Spain when
they did elections, they went,whoops, we didn't mean to do those
elections, and then they just didmore. So it's like, you know,
I watch it from a distance,and you have to wonder, especially
with the UK, you wonder whensomething crazy happens that compromises basic freedoms,

(01:06:45):
we'll, you know, I'll seeone of those stories that will generally pick
up here. And I just askedmyself, how many years away are we
from that? So this will fasttrack some of that. So who knows,
maybe they'll throw all the bums outagain here in short order. But
we got our own bums, andthey are they are having they're having this

(01:07:10):
moment where I'm watching people sit thereand say, well, look, now,
you know, at least they're atleast they're willing to be honest about
their own And I'm getting very upset, like all these media are being praise
for finally writing this stuff, oror the twenty five members of Congress who
all just happen to be in redor purple districts who are democratic, right,
I don't give people credit for anyof this, And frankly, it

(01:07:34):
should be one more death nail forthe media. And they're they're they're just
swimming to make sure that that doesn'thappen. Do you think that sticks or
do you think if you're the economistand you run the Walker photo like they
did, or the New York Timesreporting the brain thing, that people's uh,

(01:07:55):
people soften their memory on this stuffbecause I hope it sticks. Well,
yeah, I saw somebody make thepoint that the mask slipped it,
like the whole charade started crumbling wayback in two thousand and four, when
you know, Dan Rather got bustedon his fake news National Guard papers right

(01:08:16):
right right, and it was justlike some lawyers with a blog right that
that busted that myth up. AndI saw somebody else point out that if
you follow a couple of Twitter accountslike RNC research, that you've known more
than the media has reported for years. You and I like, this is
the thing we sit here in sortof you know, conservative media land,

(01:08:38):
and because we you know, stayup to speed on what legacy corporate outlets
report, right, we see whatthey don't cover. But the audience,
your audience, my audience, likethey are up to date on this stuff.
They are more well informed of JoeBiden's status than these You know that

(01:09:00):
your average NPR listener. And soI think part of what they've got to
do now is in order to preservesome sort of facade of you know,
credibility with their own audience, right, because their own audience just saw that
debate and now they're like, whoa, what is this? Right, whereas
we've seen it, we know,and the legacy outlets are now going through

(01:09:25):
this sort of like, well,you know, I wasn't really sure.
I had heard some rumors about it. And remember these are people that are
paid six figures to know what's goingon, right, and now that's playing
the party people. This just beclear, because you and I know how
it works up in Washington. Theseare cocktail party people. This is an
inner inner circle with these cats.It's the reason that the one of the

(01:09:46):
CNN anchors is married to one ofthe intelligence guys who signed it, one
of the fifty one. Right.This is a small bubble beat and people
need to remember that, correct,right, And it's very insular. And
so when and they are saying thatthey didn't know, well you may not
have known for sure, but thenwe see the piece what's their name,
Olivia Newsy or Nazzy or whatever hername is, and she does this massive

(01:10:10):
piece about how she basically sat onthis information for six months. The last
time she had a meet face toface with Joe Biden it surround the holidays,
and she knew. And she alsomakes a reference apparently he's had a
bunch of plastic surgery done. Shemade reference to this, Like, so
there's this, there's this attempt tosalvage credibility in order to let's now focus

(01:10:33):
on who's going to replace him without, you know, without addressing the fact
that he is still president and ifhe shouldn't be on the ticket because he
is mentally infirmed, then he shouldn'tbe president. But flight problem, Kamala
Harris. Right, yeah, sothis is the most delicious self inflicted wound

(01:10:55):
ever. Remember these folks were onthe record saying that they were picking a
and a woman of color, rightthey said it. Joe Biden said it.
Well, he just said it inthat interview he did a couple of
interviews. Yes, well yeah,kind well he said he was the black
woman. But I mean we knewwhat he meant, right, yes,
so yeah, so he wants thecredit for all of this, and he's

(01:11:16):
like checking the boxes, like lookat me, I'm, you know,
a friend of black people, andI name this black person to do this
job and this one to do thisjob whatever. So he wants that kind
of credit. But she is suchan awful campaigner, She's an awful politician,
and that's got everybody heartburned. Andthey can't figure out how to leapfrog

(01:11:40):
her, right, They're trying.They want they want somebody else, they
don't want her, and how doyou do that? And you heard Clive
Burns talking about some sort of amini convention, right, five week five
week campaigns and then because it's whatApril seven, excuse me, August seventeenth,
right, so it's you know,it's coming up, right, They're
not going to have a lot oftime, and just by way of scheduling,

(01:12:04):
they get to do it after theRepublicans nominate Trump. And so this
is you know, like me,personally, I prefer Biden stay on the
ticket. I would rather him beon the ticket than off because there's just
too many unknowns, right, Like, how are Democrats going to preserve the
democracy by not allowing their own votersto pick their their nominates. They already

(01:12:29):
have super delegates, they've already toldregular voters that they the important people count
more. And they did that becausepeople don't remember this. The whole the
super delegate thing was a response tothird parties, right, so you know,
they they they've already indicated that theydon't trust the decision making of their
own folks. But all, how'sthe cover up factor? How come nobody's

(01:12:55):
got a microphone in Roy Cooper's faceright now? Well, that's the the
d shield, right, That's that'sthe benefit of being a Democrat. It
means you get the shield, andit means that and that shield protects you
from all sorts of these types ofquestions until until you have some sort of
a preference cascade, if you will, like we're seeing with Biden right now.

(01:13:17):
That's and so you're seeing some ofthis, you know, the rumors
that are out there, and you'vegot big money donors, right that's what's
going to move all of this,and they're already moving and that's why these
these talks are now occurring. Thereare people that have the knives out for
Joe Biden and they they see theirshot, they're going to take it,
you know. And you've got donorsthat are that are very, very worried

(01:13:41):
because that's like they're looking at thislike, Okay, we can't have Donald
Trump win, so we need topull the plug and we need to move
away from Biden. We need todo whatever we need to do, because
that's what's more important now. Uh. The other part of this is that
you've got the Biden camp and thisever shrinking circle of confidence. Write of
his advisors, who now Hunter Bidenhas been brought in you know as an

(01:14:05):
as an advisor at last night ofLong Knives and and ironically we just that
was what the anniversary was just theother day of the kickoffs. This is
what happens in like uh, youknow, like when totalitarian regimes take over,
there's a coup, right, yousaw it in a cube, but
you see others and that is youdon't want to be you don't want to

(01:14:25):
be like mid beesties with whoever's incharge now and have them see you as
a thread. So the paranoid that'sobviously setting in up at the White House,
Uh, Hunter Biden there, thatindicates that you don't trust any of
your staff man right well, andI don't blame him, I mean they
he makes some comment to this,you know, circle of advisors, and

(01:14:45):
within a couple of hours it's inthe New York Times. And then Donald
Trump was in three person meetings andthey were printing direct quotes and they never
found it. So give me right, give me a break, right,
Well, and that's that is oneof the most remarkable things about this is
the whining and the crying from theadministration about the media treatment, right,

(01:15:08):
the criticism that they have of themedia, which I'm old enough to remember
when that was a threat to ourdemocracy, that if you could not criticize
media coverage of the president. Iremember those days well. And so now
they're they're mad at being treated likeevery other Republican is treated, like what's

(01:15:28):
his name? Bates? Andrew Bates, the guy who I always have to
mention, lied, yeah, andlied about the radio station that I work
at down in Charlotte. He liedAfter that interview that our news director did
with corn John Pierre where he askedher does he have dementia? She got
very offended by it, and thenshe hung up and left the interview,

(01:15:49):
right, she hung up, andyeah, and there was a dial tone
that kicked in, and he accusedour news director of inserting that audio it's
like, and this is the guythat is now complaining about media coverage.
It's only because they're not getting thekid glove treatment. They can't keep Biden
under wraps anymore. They've got tobring him out. And as they bring

(01:16:11):
him out, he keeps on makingmore and more of these mistakes, and
he keeps the stuttering their call youknow, Oh it's a stutter. He
was over prepped. Oh he hada cold. And now in the latest
I just saw is they're running thisidea that he traveled the week before.
He was traveling a bunch and that'swhy he was so poor on the debate
stage. But we all know thishas been a long pattern of decline,

(01:16:35):
and the media that has been partof not telling the American public that story
is now going to race in andtry to tell that story so they don't
get blamed as being an accomplice.Now they may be able to pull that
off. Tamala Harris cannot because shehas been at the forefront of telling people
that Joe is fine, he's youknow, healthy and mentally sharp and all

(01:16:58):
this sudden stuff. So what didshe know? When did she know it?
And that may be the thing thatsinks her by the way, I
noticed you left off let's see microwavedirectional microwave weapon or or CNN in cahoots
with Trump. And then people whoobviously never edited audio posting things like I've

(01:17:20):
run Biden's debate audio through multiple digitalenhancers and correctors. You can't repair it.
The guys saw CSI once and nowhe wants to express So you know
what, at this point it allruns together because it's all equally as unbelievable
man and the makeup artists and themakeup artist, which I thought, like,

(01:17:45):
this is the thing also that killsme is that they are guilty of
that which they accuse Trump right thethings right as soon as like what is
their immediate reaction after the debate,It's like they trot him back out there
and it's like, wait, whatis he ring? What's going on here?
Like they bronzed them up? Likethat was the response after the debate
was to spray paint the president.Come on, guys, well, actually

(01:18:06):
the bronzer is what shields you fromthe directional energy weapons, which was an
impact Yeah, one of our otherconversation earlier, So now you know that's
wow. The rally and Raleigh wasdifferent. All Right, I just got
to hit you with this because Istill even though you broadcast in Charlotte,

(01:18:28):
now you spent a lot of yearsin Ashville, so I blame you for
everything. Can we not beat upJewish people at our anarchist book fair?
Or is that just too much toask of Ashville? That is too much,
That is way too much to ask. They haven't gotten any decent protesting
and beaten on recently, you know, it's been a while ago. It's

(01:18:49):
one hundred and one. You wantto you want to protest? And right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, andso they yeah. So the big
question I had with how exactly abunch of anarchists organize a three day book
fair that seems completely off brand?You know the book lists from our colleague
Mark, I'm like, yeah,Angela, David Tanisha Coates, yeah sure,

(01:19:13):
right, yeah yeah yeah. Andthey're all of course very very concerned
about health, and so they're allwearing their surgical masks and stuff. Yeah,
well, group assaulting people. Nowthey arrested what they arrested the one
girl who they think stole the phone. But other than that, I don't
know. That sounds a little hatecrime. You I got thirty seconds.
Do you think that they actually doa bunch of arrests. I think they're

(01:19:35):
looking for one person at this point, a person of interest with no description,
just a photo. So yeah,I don't know. They may the
woman who got arrested. I findit interesting that she was arrested back in
twenty seventeen at the cow for Ohyeah, yeah, all right, we'll
join the Ryan against Trump. Yeah, we'll have to save that for next

(01:19:58):
week. That's a figment of yourmad that didn't happen. I've been informed.
All right, Pete, appreciate it, my man, have a good
weekend and we'll be back. Hangon, I didn't see any big time
fireworks craziness in the news. Iguess that's somewhat refreshing that everyone's got their
fingers, or or maybe they didn'thave some fingers to start from previous year's

(01:20:19):
celebrations. Let's see, there werea few things well we mentioned earlier.
Uh where did I put this?Sorry? Sorry? Sorry, I thought
I was looking at the right story. Here's the one I was looking for.
All right, Yeah, I didn'tsee I didn't see any like you
know, big time insanity. Therewere obviously some pretty tragic stories. You

(01:20:41):
had a drug driver that mowed intoa bunch of people up in New York.
It's pretty awful. Was it MyrtleBeach? They had a police officer
actually ran a grew a woman over. Saw a headline on that this morning,
so he was distracted. I mean, I'd have a hard problem driving
on the beach, but probably notMyrtle Beach, you know, just the

(01:21:06):
visual stuff. I'm thinking more ofthe Baywatch Beach. Ah, here we
go. This is the story Iwas looking for. You guys want to
Florida Man. Yeah, let's goahead and do it. Florida, Florida
Man. Florida Man. Is somethingin the waderty Error's hand that makes you

(01:21:26):
do all that crazy crap. It'slike the state is wanna be dumb ass
trapped. Nowhere else has the FloridaMan. It is almost like as the
Weird Factor climbs and you find outit haven't in Florida every time, Florida,
then Florida Man. If anyone cancheer me, if you know you

(01:21:46):
can't, just mind life. Youcrazy. But of course, but it's
not. It's bad crap, crazyas yours. Nowhere else are you gonna
find him? They're so used toit they don't mind him. Hooray for
Florida. So yeah, this one'sa strange one. A forty one year
old Florida man was arrested after heattempted to rob a Chase bank in Lady

(01:22:12):
Lake, that's north of Orlando.Anyway, he walks into the bank,
grabs withdrawal slips. He does nothave an account at the bank, I
would point out, and he writesa note and he handed it to the
teller. The teller looked at him, confused, and he reportedly said because

(01:22:35):
he did not use the word robberyon the note. He told the teller
quote, so you want me touse the other word. At that point,
the teller realized that this dude's robbingthe bank, But then she refused
to give him what he asked for, which is so on brand for my

(01:22:55):
last times I've been in banks.Like sorry, I'm not picking on the
bank people, but it's just likecustomer service in some cases, it's just
at an all time low. Manhwhat he requested was a penny, and
she didn't want to give him thatbecause they're trained to give him like the
bills with the die packs and Idon't know, maybe a brain froze or

(01:23:17):
whatever. I'm not blaming her.I was being robbed, and you know,
I am sympathetic to that. Butit's just so strange that you'd quibble
over a penny. Just give himthe damn penny. He didn't have a
weapon, and authorities say he thenafter he then when they wouldn't give him
the penny, he just sat downin a chair. Let's see here,

(01:23:44):
what is this guy's name. Wehave a statement letting Michael Patrick Fleming.
Fleming said he initially went to CitizensFirst Bank, but unfortunately they were closed
before he drove to the nearby Chasebranch. He said, most of the
time, the way tellers are trained, if someone comes to Robbie, you
give him money and you let themgo. But you wouldn't give me the

(01:24:04):
money. You just give him thepenny out of your pocket at that point.
But then he sat in the chairwaited for law enforcement. Look,
obviously there's stuff going on with thisdude. Let's see. I think he
got evicted in May. So youknow, there's a thing called jailing is

(01:24:25):
a term that I'm sure there's amore technical term, but basically where people
get people have been in prison andthen they realize that they that's mostly what
they've known and the structure like theywant it back. And so there are
people literally who will offend for thepurpose of going back to prison. But
this guy had no criminal record,So at that point you have to wonder

(01:24:48):
if he's just financially tapping out.He's just like, now I'll go to
federal prison. The crazy thing ishe didn't have you didn't have a weapon.
He wasn't even really aggressive except forthe one statement he asked for a
penny and then he waited for policelike he I don't know that he may

(01:25:09):
not get his wish of going togoing to federal prison for bank robbery man,
but nothing in his statement speaks tospeaks to that he does have the
the prison crazy eyes, so Iguess that will serve him. Well,
man, are you guys and thisis not the first are you aware of

(01:25:30):
the brewing Lulu Lemon controversy? Yes, I know this is obviously a big
part of your day. Although wehave a lot, we have a lot
of women listeners probably owned some LuluLemon, and I want you to understand
that I am not attempting to beinsensitive here, but I am going to
agree kind of with what was said. Which it's funny too, because people

(01:25:55):
who are mad, I've noticed,don't have They didn't bother to check anything
before they started sounding off. Sowhat happened. The founder of Lululemon,
his name is Chip Wilson, didan interview with Forbes, and he made
a statement. But it is nota statement that is the first time he's
publicly made it. He said duringthe interview quote that when he you know,

(01:26:21):
when he was putting together Lululemon,one of the things he did not
want. I'll read this verbatim,I do not want I did not want
certain customers coming in, people drinkingcoke or pepsi or eating McDonald's. He
went further to echo a statement thathe had actually previously made like a decade
ago, where he said, look, some women shouldn't be wearing our product.

(01:26:45):
There it becomes let's see here,what did you say? He said,
when when women who are too bigfor the product wear it, it
almost renders the products see through becauseyou remember they had that controversy, You're
like you can see through them.So basically he said that some women are
too fat to be wearing Lululemon pants. That's true. Also, I would

(01:27:10):
point out there are clothes that Iam too big to be wearing. All
Right, you don't me wearing aspeedo? Nope, nope, I readily
accept that. Now if you wantto then whatever. I don't know if
they're I'm sure they're comfortable with theamount of people I see wearing them.
But yeah, and so then theysnap into and they're like, we got

(01:27:33):
to get this guy fired. Well, one he's the founder and two he
hasn't run the company for a decade. So I guess your boycott was very
successful because he's not even in charge. They were just interviewing him because he
said it ten years ago, andat that point they kind of pulled him

(01:27:55):
out. This guy says a lot. He says a lot of stuff during
interviews, but they thought it isfunny where it's like, isn't this a
story from like ten years ago?Then I realized you just did another interview.
And then I realized that angry bodypositive influencers were they like, they

(01:28:15):
didn't even bother to see if youcould actually get him fired. He just
owned stock. Okay, that's it. That's what he does. I don't
think he's on the board or anythingthat resigned on the board of directors too,
So there is nothing to cancel,I guess, unless you want people
to door kick and forcibly take hisstuff, which I'm sure some of you
do. That's how you deal withstuff, all right, eight eight eight

(01:28:41):
nine three four seven eight seven four. Not that anybody's listening this morning.
I think it's just Trevor and thenour list of callers. Let's get into
it. Yes, Boston, Paul, what do you want? Oh man,
I just don't. What are youdoing? You know what I mean?
You'll you'll collin, you call insick with the sniffles or hanging know,
and now you got a day aftera holiday and you don't call him

(01:29:02):
sick. What's wrong with you?So? What's wrong with you? You
hold on? What is wrong withyou? How is it that I have
the most updated, brand new listof the drunkest cities in America and you're
not on there? It's not yourcity or your liver. I don't anymore.
Who's really Boston wasn't on there?So anymore? Yeah, whatever city

(01:29:26):
you do live in now, Idon't want to say it, but that's
on the list. Is embarrassing?Man. Yeah, yeah, Well I'm
getting around. I'm on the roadand making sure that who the girls are
all set there. I'll have someplace to stay. That's my charity.
Don't you rob my stuff. Getout of here. You have Boston Paul
trying to sneak in on my charityidea from last week. All right,

(01:29:46):
Ramona, what's up? Thank Casey. I just wanted to give it.
Give me a story, follow upon that Penny story. You had you
guy at the bank. Oh,we had really smart teller and I guess
she didn't follow protocols. But wehad a guy come storming in. He

(01:30:06):
had a full of a scary bandana, sunglasses, gloves, hat, we
couldn't tell if he was black orwhite, with a shiny looked like a
super block. Just came in andwaved it around and held us up.
Okay, but and I won't tellyou any more details except the teller.

(01:30:30):
I mean it was really scary.I was. I was so frightened.
Anyway, the tailer had the chipspaw and the smarts to give him.
I suppose she gave him cash moneybills, but she gave him a whole
sack full of pennies and he wentstaggering out the side of the bank and

(01:30:51):
into the parking lot and then gotin to get away car and they caught
him on on forty going to cernersBill before he even got the Curnersville.
They caught the guy. He didn'tknow what d did he think was being
washed? Yeah? But what didhe think was in there? Like wouldn't
you immediately orders? You're like,why would I want this? Well?

(01:31:15):
Who knows? But it was afact full of pennies And we were laughing
after that. But the poor guy, I mean, the gun was a
beady gun. Oh yeah, yeah, no, I hear you whether I
just realized, but thank you.And by the way, I think that
that yeah, what the what thehell the guy think was in the bag?
All right? Jeff mar from theWeather Channel. If you robbed the

(01:31:35):
bank and somebody handed you a bagof cash or that felt like all change,
Like you're not taking that as abank robber, right, no,
no, you get rid of thatchange. Yeah, that's people are dumb
man, all right? Uh?Going outside that that would that would qualify
as dumb in my book today.Oh yeah, it's going to be a
rough one today on the hottest daysof the year, with an excessive heat

(01:31:56):
warning in effect. That excessive heatwarning last until eight o'clock. This eating
the reason the high today near onehundred. It feels even hotter though the
heated decks as high as one ohfive to one ten, and you added
humidity. So if you've got tospend a lot of time outdoors at a
be careful, see if you canget some breaks and certainly stay hydrated.
Last, some showers and thunderstorms developinglate this afternoon and lingering into the evening,
with an overnight low down to seventyeight. Another hot and humid day

(01:32:16):
tomorrow with scattered thunderstorms, a heighthto ninety seven and a triple digit heat
in decks. Rain again Sunday afternoonwith a high close to ninety. All
right, Jeff, thank you,having good weekend, sir, and Jeff
Bellinger joins us next hang on well, Good morning, casey. The two
key data points and the Labor Department'sJune employment report are both surprising. The
economy added two hundred and six thousandjobs last month, more than expected,

(01:32:42):
and the nation's unemployment rate ticked upfrom four percent to four point one percent.
It was noted the April and Mayjobs numbers, though, were revised
sharply lower, so this still indicatessome moderating job market. Stock market futures
are higher ahead of this Friday session. S and P futures are up three,
Nasdaq futures are up nineteen. Dowfutures or up forty three. It

(01:33:03):
will likely be a quiet session onWall Street because of the day being right
between the holiday and the weekend.The parent of Sachs Fifth Avenue has agreed
to buy Neiman Marcus. The deal, worth two point sixty five billion dollars,
will create a giant among high endretailers. The buyers are hoping to
win a bigger share of an industrythat's been slowing of late. Amazon dot

(01:33:26):
Com and Salesforce will have minority stakesin the new company. The investor group
that hopes to take over Macy's hasreportedly raised its offer again. The Wall
Street Journal says the bid was raisedby about three hundred million dollars. Speculation
in Washington over whether President Biden willcontinue his re election campaign is having an
impact on Wall Street. Investors hateuncertainty and they're making some portfolio adjustments to

(01:33:50):
account for the possibility that the presidentcould decide to drop out of the race.
And Casey, Despicable Me for debutedin movie theaters on Wednesday. Variety
reports the animated sequel from Universal andIllumination took in twenty seven million dollars on
its opening day. Casey, you'retrying to be more polite about it with

(01:34:11):
why Wall Street might be slow.It's because, Jeff, the three of
us are the only people dumb outto be working today. It's just us.
We screwed up. We should notbe here, all right? What
happened or else? Did you insertthat dial tone? Like did he think
I was calling him dumb? Allright? Yeah, maybe that's what it

(01:34:34):
was. So but you know,you hear battling around. What he wanted
to say is why am I here? Why are we all here today?
So? Uh, Jamal has thatquestion? Yes, Jamal, what's up?
Well? I was like I gotup this morning, I'll, you
know, get myself ready because Ihave to go to working clocking in and
they're almost like they're love there whileyou re the walls. You yeah,

(01:35:05):
let me. This is what's hilarious. Do you know, Ross and I
have less vacation time than some ofthe premier hosts and the same amount as
as one of the others. Right, well, yeah, because as I
found out case that, like eventhough sometimes I say if you're sinking,
you're out, Ross still has theprogram and stuff, so you know he's

(01:35:29):
still working. People don't know that. Well, just because you're out sick,
don't mean Ross isn't working. Butyou still on a holiday like this.
You know, I'm thinking both ofyou guys are gone, and I'm
like, wow, that's dedication.That's why I'm still trying to get you
to convince the r n C herein North Carolina to get you the host
all the governor doingatorial debate, primarydoolatory debate or ad actual doola toory debate

(01:35:54):
as a conservative moderator. But I'mgonna say that's probably my blood feud with
the former director is not going tohelp that. But I'm sorry, you
got to go to work because wehad a theory and Jamal I appreciate the
call. This morning, Ross islike, why is everyone calling at the
end of the show, And I'mlike, dude, because they don't have
to work today, right, Theyjust feel bad for us. But look

(01:36:15):
at that. Jamal's got to goto work. I know what I'm gonna
spend the rest of my day doing, though, So I had I did
a golf thing, and you knowhow you get a little you get a
little swag bag. I guess Rosswould know. He doesn't golf but a
little swag bag of stuff. AndI didn't really delve into there until yesterday.
Dude, How have I lived fortyfour years on this planet without an
electric fly swatter? This thing's amazing. Have you seen these? Right?

(01:36:40):
It looks like a little badminton racket, and I'm like, there's no way
it's going to work to get nearthe bugs, because you know, I
just didn't dude. The thing is, I sat on my patio yesterday for
as long as I could take it, sitting there just murdering all the wildlife.
It was absolutely amazing. Ross.You got to get one of these
things, man,
