Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
That was a busy weekend. I mean not just for
the Easter stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
You guys had a good Easter over at the Hayes compound.
I'm assuming good stuff for everybody.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Ah yeah, very tiring, I know, I know, because we
had a birthday on Saturday and then Easter and Sunday,
right right.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah, it's uh uh. I saw the saw some of
the photos you posted. By the way, I I think
I'm gonna have to see your baby. Can that be
arranged for a viewing of the of the mister lofton there? Yeah,
we can be the possible share because like every photo
is a winner. And I'm starting to suspect.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Ai, I'm not gonna lie. He's an adorable baby.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
He is like immensely I don't even say that just
because you know we work together and friends.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
And all that.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I mean, that's like in this day and age of
filters and everything else, you understand why it's a little
sus how cute that kid is.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
For no, Yeah, he's incredibly cute. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. Man,
I'll be having a bad day and they just hang
out and he laughs. That puts me in a great mood.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
He's always I'm sure he prized too something.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It makes Marky a little upset because he laughs at
everything I say everything. Wait is he not laugh at
her and not as much? Oh no, She's like, he
just thinks you're hilarious. I'm like, because I am.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Well, I mean out of your job, right, I mean
that's what puts That's what puts formula on the table.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
So I was holding him yesterday, and you know, he's
just not holding I don't know. I was ranting about something,
and I wasn't like bringing my voice way up, but
I was just talking about something. Mark He's like, he's
just laughing at you the whole time. He's just staring
at you, laughing at you the whole time. I'm like,
I'm like, I look at him, like, this is a
very serious conversation right now. You shouldn't be laughing.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, what if you find out
later when he can talk and stuff, he doesn't think
you're funny. He thinks you're ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah that what you said here on the weekend ranting
about a news story. Disconnect dude. Oh man, all right,
so you haven't been easter, but yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Was talking about Genesis, the Book of Genesis compared to
other previous creation myths of other religions, and apparently going
on and on about it. He just thought it was hilarious.
He just laughing. She's like, she's Marky goes. I understand
that the very serious conversation right now, but he just
finds it hilarious.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, to be fair, some origin stories for religions are
kind of hilarious, such as or terrifying. Remember Kwansa when
we've deep deep died Kwansa. I mean an earth day
Holy Cow. Do a little research there. So less of religion,
but kind of a religion in this day and age,
you know what I mean. Uh so, uh all right,

(02:33):
well I'm glad, and then you know that's going on.
Plus the what is described as the greatest military rescue
operation since World War Two, And that's a tough thing
because you look at Special Forces operation, you look at
a Captain Phillips thing, you look at clearly the bin
laden compound rate. But you realize with the with the

(02:58):
bin laden thing, we had we had months and months
and months to set that up. And if you ever
seen the movie Zero Dark thirty, yes, I'm aware that
that CIA propaganda. I got it. They opened up under
Obama and basically fed them the thing that being said,
it's not an inaccurate timeline. And in the movie Jessica

(03:20):
Chastain she makes the point of, oh, you know, going
to the window and writing the number of days. So
they had months to evaluate intel, to set up what
was going to happen, and then finally to make the
decision to go in there. And of course things didn't
go one hundred percent according to plan, and they had
to adapt because that's what we do. And you know

(03:44):
it did it say this was something that had less
than forty eight hours And just think of the sheer
insanity audacity of what they did over there in Iran.
This isn't on This isn't just across the border, by
the way, like it was in Pakistan, right where they
were able They're like, okay, you know, we're close enough

(04:05):
that when we cross the border, even if they see us,
we'll have this number of minutes and it's and then
we can get you know, we can zip back over
the border there. This is like straight up in the
middle of Iran. And and this I'll get into the
whole story of of what this what this crew member
had to do and the decisions that he made. But

(04:27):
they had less than forty eight hours to set it up.
And they didn't just fly a helicopter in there and
you know, pick them up. They built a forward operating base.
Just think of the inside. Just put that into any
other context. It's it's World War two and we're like,
you know what, you know, it would be a really
useful air base, albeit not a great one, but one

(04:49):
it'll get the job done. Kind of, let's put it,
I don't know, two hundred miles south of Berlin and
then just pop in there and do it. The audacity
of that, the absolute audacity, and you know what, it
saved Iranian lives, did you You know? That's that's rasta.

(05:14):
I saw somebody suggest this and I really gave it
some thought. I'm gonna expand on what they said. But
going in and getting that or the crew member out,
the F fifteen guy, it saved a mir It saved
Iranian lives because if they had got him and they
paraded him through the streets and they essentially crucified him,

(05:38):
you know what a weekend to do it and videoed
it and put it out there. What do you think
Trump would have done It would have I mean, already
Tuesday sounds like it might not be a good day
to go to the park in Iran or near any
bridge and or electrical station. Probably want to. Yeah, you know,

(06:02):
if you're if you're the guy who works over the
electrical station, I think you should call in sick Tuesday,
tell me you got uh you know, whooping camel cough
or whatever. You guys get over there. Don't go in
unless you love the regime. And then yeah, you should
go to work. So the the retaliation would have been insane.

(06:24):
The propagandic nature of it could not be allowed to stand.
And uh, I think it would have accelerated what trumpet.
The very ley's just threatening right now. But this guy,
this guy's injured. He crashed, he's concussed, he ends up
passing out. He then weill injured, well concussed, shoots up

(06:47):
seven thousand foot mountain, finds a crevice to hide into.
Didn't activate his beacon initially because he thought the IRGC
would see it. And eight and they the CIA was
able to locate him. And then once the CIA located him,

(07:07):
they then had to put a plan together. So already we're,
you know, twelve hours, twenty hours after the crash. It's
a little unclear the timeline there, and this guy has
moved thirty what thirty five kilometers can cussed up seven
thousand feet And then they have to put this together

(07:29):
and they're able to come up with a plan that
is audacious, which I don't even think begins to describe it.
And the CIA does what the CIA does, and they'd
use the counter intel and they essentially create a scenario
because Iran has put a bounty out of sixty thousand
dollars to anyone who finds one of these down pilots.

(07:52):
They didn't know at the time, but we had already recovered,
you know, everybody, but this one dude. There was two others,
two different planes. And they put so not only do
you have military, you got just you got Yahoo's out
there with guns looking for this dude. So they get it.
They pinpoint his location, but they can't go in right away.

(08:15):
They have to figure out something. So in twenty four
hours they say, all right, we're gonna We're going to
create a landing strip set up to a perimeter to
the extent that we can. We're going to use reaper
drones so that if anybody gets within three clicks of
this dude, we turn him to mist and we did,

(08:35):
and you have to do that also in a way
where you're you're not giving away positions, so then they
start hitting other targets. Meanwhile, the CIA has convinced the
Iranians that we have the dude and we're having to
exfiltrate him via a convoy that's headed to a maritime
so essentially we're gonna get into a boat and so
that's what they're looking for, and then eventually we drop

(08:59):
guys down in there. They huff it thirty five kilometers
is it kilometers or miles, it doesn't matter, up a
hill to physically extract this dude and then pop them down.
Then they go to take off, and because you know
you didn't get it, it's an instant created airfield. You

(09:22):
had two of the planes that essentially had sunk in
the sand. They're not going anywhere. So what do you do.
You get a couple more, you fly them in, and
then so that the Iranians don't receive the benefit of
any useful weapon or piece of technology on your way out,

(09:43):
you use the weapons of the planes you just flew
in to decimate our planes, and by the time the
Iranians get there, the only thing that they are able
to find, and they're holding it up. In a photo
which I posted on x is a pair of red, white,
blue men boxer shorts, which is blonkers. You wouldn't believe

(10:04):
that if it happened in a movie and everybody's safe,
everybody's out of there. And then you have to watch
the insane discourse on the internet, which if I was
a member of any of the Western European militaries, right,

(10:29):
if I'm in the British military, if I'm in the
French military, and the Italian whatever it's Spanish military, you
have all of these people who can't grasp the concept
of leaving no man behind, and they start posting these
crazy arguments. And it's not just I thought at first

(10:51):
it was just people trolling, but I realize it's a
difference in mindset. You're only as valuable as the next
cost benefit analysis to recover you if you get pinned down.
Think about that. A retired general muckety muck. I saw
quote American general in an article and he said it

(11:12):
takes a year to rebuild, to build a new plane.
It takes two hundred years to build the idea that
we leave no man behind, which we've not always honored, right,
And I think anyone, you know, with the POW's and
everything coming out of Vietnam and other things, but the
over the overall concept is a net benefit. It's it's

(11:34):
the ramboing of things and it and it is lost
on the European mind, and not just the Europeans, but
that's where I saw it coming from. And I'm just
thinking to myself, man, if I was a soldier in
one of those one of those countries and I realized
that if if my rescue gets a little too expensive,

(11:56):
they'll just leave me to die, that's got to play
with your head. Man. I was talking to somebody whose
ex military, and they said that's exactly why they loved
being attached to American units, because they if the crap
hit the fan, the Americans had come and to rescue you.

(12:16):
And ironically, that very same concept where somebody's pinned down
there admittedly is the British policy they have sas don't
get me wrong, but as the op ed and the
Telegraph pointed out, they there's always a call to the Americans.
Everybody calls the Americans. Do you know what Iranian presidents

(12:37):
helicopter went down many years ago? Do you know who
they called us?

Speaker 5 (12:42):
US?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I know, and we did that whole thing. Oh, by
the way, we're also have people get ready to orbit
the moon. It was a busy weekend, lots going on,
and I think it was a very revealing weekend. Could
be a very revealing week as Trump did a little

(13:07):
tweaked truth or whatever you want to call it. That's
got people, oh, with their knickers in a twist.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I mean to go to your point, you have some
of these countries that'll offer to euthanize you if you
have like a cold. Now you think like they're going
to come and rescue you. If it's like that, they're
not coming.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah no, But it's a mindset. That's the thing too,
Like they couldn't conceptualize that.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
That's really a big part of what I felt anyway,
Like during the Afghanistan withdrawal, everything that was wrong with that.
The one thing that was really like that struck me
was like we were leaving people behind, which the entirety
of my life being born in nineteen seventy nine. Right,
I had not seen that, but suddenly it was like, yeah,
well you're on your own. We're going to leave you there.

(13:51):
You have people holding on to the you know, just.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Not to mention a collection of military equipment that outsizes
more than the trees in the world, and it is
to throw back weird beards man.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Right, it pissed me up. You saw the video of
them using the gym. You see the video of like,
you know, the the Taliban there and they're on the
base and they're like checking out the gym. I got
upset about the gym. Why you blow up the gym,
blow up the tanks, blow don't let them use their equipment.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I mean you see it, but yeah, you blow up
the equipment one hundred and by the way, you think
that there's not a bunch of military members to be
itching to blow it to smitherings. Any dude gets to
blow some up, he's happy. And they could basically do
it and not have to worry, you know about getting
shot while they're doing it. That would have been an
amazing thing. But no, he just left it. And the

(14:47):
the willingness, the willingness to go, Yeah, it's we can't
get Bob, we might they might shoot at our helicopter
has to just suck it out of you, and and
uh and and again. It it it just shows. It
shows you the mindset that you're trained from birth. It's
almost not their fault. It's the you know, it's just

(15:11):
the whole.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's well, we've got to be pragmatic here. Not that
they're very pragmatic with a lot of things nowadays, but
that's not that's not how we do things. We do
things different and it's why we're so good at it too,
because it inspires people to be better. And uh and
and again this is the part where we're like, oh yeah, yeah, no,

(15:35):
we're we're in the middle of the enemy's territory and
we're at the moon. That's our weekend. Very busy. What
do you guys do it? Oh all you went to
France to the beach. Oh nice for you. Yeah, yeah,
we have we have larger, larger plans and we'll get
into what Trump says. Those maybe coming up by tomorrow,

(16:00):
so we'll lay it out. Maybe it's bluster, maybe it's not.
But it does have a lot of curse words and
a rather interesting sign off but on top of that,
we got lots of other stuff to get into as well.
So Happy Monday, casey O Day radio program. So I
was just just touching the just touching the edges man
of just a crazy, crazy weekend. I mean, you have

(16:24):
you know, clearly it's a it's Easter weekend, so you
already got that going on. And then you have everything
that transpired there and iran with this with this Bonker's rescue,
successful rescue where we suffered no injuries, no casualties. I mean, yes,
the the the pilot we were rescuing was was injured

(16:45):
when his aircraft went down. And then you had another
aircraft that ended up having to the pilot ended up
projecting over the Persian Gulf. That pilot was rescued. So
you have those two guys, and then you have this
third guy who goes down, immediately realizes I got to
get out of here, is injured, is concussed, and is

(17:06):
able to move himself basically straight up a mountain seven
thousand feet up a mountain, hides in a crevice and uh,
and then the rescues on. And because the rescue is on,
this is what Trump was spending. You know this is
this is what here where his attention was until it
was successful. Then he went and played around to golf.
But because he didn't have any public events, all of

(17:30):
the usual characters and it's so organized, dude, because they
all feed off each other, they all decided that he
was probably a Walter Reed, a dead or half dead,
and that whole narrative broke out. Meanwhile, he's sitting there
working with he's sitting there working with it. Just can

(17:50):
I just say, and I don't mean this in a
negative way. You got a guy who builds hotels and
a Fox News guy who who had just provided leadership
and planning, and you know, greenlit two of the craziest
military operations that I can remember, and they went flawlessly.

(18:14):
Well I don't count that the like there was an
expectation those planes could get stuck in the sand, because
what it is, I mean from a human casualty standpoint,
they went they went in and snatched a guy who
was living on a military base because he thought he
was gonna get snatched, and then they did it anyway.

(18:34):
And then they went and Iran and did this thing.
And if if if those if those two individuals, yes,
I understand Higgsett has you know, a military background there
one hundred percent, but like, why why is it these
two are able to do this? And yet for since
World War Two we've essentially rendered ourselves and our leaders

(18:57):
feckless too. I mean there have been right spots, but
then there's a la Ross's pointing out, there's just the
abandoning of everything in Afghanistan. There's you know, so much
of what happens surrounding the Vietnam War. Uh I ran
contrast stuff Grenada right, Like in retrospect, you can always

(19:20):
go back and find things, but like these what what
what I what has the political class been doing? What
did did Trump? And Hegseth just make it so our
military can do this now? No, they've had the capabilities,
but you got to have the leadership, you gotta have

(19:41):
the morale. You gotta have people who want to go
in there. Sealed Team six, that's who went in there.
They're pretty good, that's what I hear. But think about
that kind of person. You know, you get called into
you get called in the boss's office, so to speak,
and like what are we doing today? So what we
thought we'd do is, uh, We're gonna go ahead and

(20:01):
land right in the middle of the uh of Iran
on this on this airstrip that we kind of think
will work. And then we're gonna need you guys to
run thirty five kilometers up a mountain and carry a
dude down, all the while knowing that there's a bounty
on his head and your head for that matter. That's
enough to change a life and multiple generations of lives

(20:24):
in Iran, and they're all gonna be gunning for you,
and they're just like, all right, let's go.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
The temperament of these guys are probably like all right,
let's go.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, excit, but no, probably they probably said it more
excitedly a little bit yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Like well, okay, you're asking us to do pretty much
what sounds like a campaign and a call of duty game.
But we let's go.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yes, they're excited about it. That's so we've had this ability,
and then we just execute man and and and and
then when things don't work out. Would most people be
freaking Can you imagine you're like, oh, I'm an enemy territory,
none of my planes. Where you be losing your mind?
A normal person, they're probably worse than s'mores till the

(21:06):
other planes got there. It's just it's crazy. Man. So
while this is going on, people like im Trump's dead,
He's in Walter Ree because you know, we do this
every time he doesn't have a public appearance for twenty
four hours, which, of course yes, and I'll say it
because then you're screaming. It is wildly disingenuous, considering, you know,
putting brains. The previous president there, who even before he

(21:30):
was president, would disappear for a week at a time
into a basement. And then you get lunatics like this.
This is a nurse. Again. I don't know what's wrong
with the medical profession right now. Why it's nurses that
There was that doctor by the way, who had the
video where she was harassing Ice at the airport. She's
been fired so like, and this keeps happening, but this

(21:54):
nurse probably won't because she works for running University of
California health systems. But I mean, listen, listen, Oh, by
the way, there's witches in this too. Listen to this lunatic.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
You guys it Walter hoo Hes Walter.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Reed because the Krasinstein said he was.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
They have pictures of him at Walter Reed.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
No they don't.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
The people that are saying it's four to four, then
it's on four to four.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I mean, come on with the woo woo.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
We've got to get the wu woo going. Okay, the
wu wuo is gonna be this. First of all, get
your outfits ready.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
It's time.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
You need out You need your whole ensemble ready. You
need the shoes, you need your party horns you're party
at you need if it's women, you know, like find
something you can wear it you're totally comfortable. Like I
think we need to have brawls, you know, the nip
ask that they're like always covering up in photos as

(22:41):
if we're like we all have it.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
So before we get even deeper, this's insanity. I so,
to celebrate the death of Trump, you want everyone to
not wear bras. I'm just trying to figure out how
one connects to the other. I guess would be the
thing there. And I'm okay with your plan, by the way,
but I they'll be licensing for this, so just so

(23:06):
we're clear, right, let's just get them out there, girls.
Let's just get the girls. The girls.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
Everything's gonna be out there swinging in the wind. Well,
he's apparently at Walter Reid as new concerns about Trump developed.
As I saw on the instat.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
She's she's literally reading ed one of the Krasenstein's tweets. Who,
by the way, again I do not understand like they
were spoofing engagement the last time. It's abundantly clear they're
doing it again, except they do it in a different
way because the show account is one of those birdwatch accounts,
so we can see all the community notes. There was

(23:46):
seven or eight community notes that were under that never
reached the threshold to be published undergoing this is all BS,
which would have then, by the way, demonetized the post.
And the reason is and a lot of people, a
lot of people are starting to come to this realization
that that can be manipulated too, because if I go on,

(24:06):
if I go on the show account and to be like, yeah,
this is BS, here's the sourcing right, there's Trump literally
at the golf course, which is you know, by then
you could see it and post that. There has to
be a certain number that also say yes, this is
a good community note. But if you get an equal
number of people that go on there and go no,
this is not, then it never rises to the level

(24:27):
of getting on there, never demonetizes it and never takes
it out of being served to people in the algorithm.
So it's clear that there are accounts out there who
figured out there are ways to manipulate that by having hundreds,
if not thousands of accounts that can go in and
negate community notes. And it's a problem, and people are

(24:49):
noticing it's a problem. It's not just them, but it's
a lot of accounts. And it's not just on the
left either. There are bot farms and then there are
community note bought farms. That's a thing. So this continued
to uh percolate. All right, So you just want to
you just want to take the hoots out, Okay, anything else?

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Two different people said, he's there's pictures of him, well
to read. So I've heard a lot of people say
that it's going to be four four Okay, listen, which
is of TikTok, Which is of TikTok, which is of TikTok.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
We got to do the woo woo.

Speaker 6 (25:20):
The woo woo is this. I live in a world
that is Trump free. I live in every day that
I make up. I never ever have to be concerned
with what a psychopath is doing to our country. I
live in a comfortable environment where we never have to
worry about the safety of children and women ever again.

(25:42):
That man can no longer touch anyone, hurt anyone, or
can be my concern ever again.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Woo woo woo, woo woo woo.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
We have to keep repeating it. You have to repeat
it three times, three.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Times a day.

Speaker 6 (25:55):
Some people say that you know, three, six, and nine,
are they? You know the prime numbers? That you can't
you know whatever, manipulate whatever.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
So say it three.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and
nine times at night. So come up with whatever will
will you want and let's get it out there.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
He's a well to read, he's a well to read.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
I just that lady is a nurse. That's yeah. You
know who you want around elderly maga hat wearing COVID
patients in the hospital. Is that woman?

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, she's gonna treat them, right. Yeah, she's a witch nurse.
So it's okay.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Different. So she put some like I have nude on it.
It'll be fine. Just walk it off, man. Yeah, I
get not hacking on all the nurses, but I don't
know why there seems to be this weird Well, actually, no,
I I understand why it is. It's it is a
profession that's gonna have a lot of middle aged white

(26:53):
women in it, so you gonna and you know, you
look at the uh, you know, women twenty five to
fifty four, and it is shockful. It's the highest demographic
of those on the left. So why wouldn't a profession
that has a very large amount of him have also

(27:14):
all the lunatics. But it's the part too where you
put it up on the internets there. So no, he was.
He was not half dead at Walter Reed and he
went on to play some golf the next day. So
if he was, he made a very miraculous recovery. But no,

(27:35):
likely was, you know, sitting there planning in insane military
operation and planning for what could come later this week,
President Trump kicked off Easter Sunday with a foul mouthed
ti rate. This is the New York Post article against
Iran and praising Allah, warning the Rechiemed to open the

(27:55):
effing Strait of Hormuz or else he will ensure their
leaders end up in hell. Here's what he wrote. He
wrote Tuesday will be power plant Day and Bridge Day
all wrapped up into one. Ross Is that worse than
leg Day or better than leg Day from a gym perspective?

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Oh, I just skip leg date? Oh not important, So
it's not important.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Got you, got you?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Got you?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Okay? All right? So Tuesday will be power plant Day
and bridge Day all wrapped up in one. In Iran,
there will be nothing like it. Open the effing straight,
you crazy bastards. You'll be living in hell. Some would
argue they are just watch Praise Be to Allah. He
signed the post, and everyone's like, oh, if Barack Obama

(28:39):
said Praise be to Allah, he would you know, all
the Republicans lose their mind. Well, one, there's the part
where Allah means God. But if you want to just
do the language side, but more specifically, Trump's using it
to be an a hole there, Barack Obama would have
used it and meant it and and really meant it

(29:00):
in the least American way possible. Would be the interpretation
that people would have. So when somebody who is a
Trump supporter who maybe didn't like Obama would see the
two of them using it, they would they would see
different motivations for it. So that's why it's not the
same exact reaction. I know you know this, though, but

(29:21):
you have to pretend you don't so that you can,
I don't know, make it near impossible to have conversation.
Let's see here what time doesn't say what time Tuesday?
But there you go, and then everyone freaked out like,
oh my gosh, how can you say this? How could
he do this? And I don't know this has been

(29:46):
this the the the power plant thing is a big deal,
and I've seen a lot of discussion on this because
if we hit their their grid, they don't have power
for a long time, like it's we're talking a long
time to be able to bring it back to where

(30:06):
it is. And as a result, we haven't hit that grid.
I've seen estimates that are four to five years in
some parts of the country, two to three for the
majority of it. Once you get outside of very centralized,
localized things, right, that's a problem, clearly, and it's a
big enough problem that we've avoided doing it because it

(30:28):
is it is a rather, because it will have a
lot of impact on non combatants, and that's why we
initially didn't do it. It sounds like Trump was implying
to that that we did give weapons, we were trying
to pass them into revolutionaries via the Kurds, and it
sounds like the curd straight up just kept the weapons.

(30:50):
I don't know that they've expanded more on the reporting there,
but also I kind of understand that I'm not justifying it,
but we kind of abandon the Kurds, so like, I
don't know that there's any love there. So at this
point there hasn't you know, people have not risen up,

(31:11):
and so Trump's gonna be less calculating their comfort, their
creature comforts that would uh that and their uh they're
they're that island, that carg island, that would be it.
That would just that would shut him down economically, and
the problem the problem is is the people would suffer.

(31:34):
They would suffer significantly. So we'll see what I but
I ran, uh. I know they were excited because they
shot one plane, well, they shot two planes down. One
and we'll call it one and a half is technically
the a ten wardhog. The dude flew out over the
Persian Gulf because they only got one engine and then
decided to ditch it. But it was all kind of
set up so you know, you were able to do

(31:55):
that once and then we open Then we opened a
base in the middle of your country and they didn't
capture it. Even the rest of the Muslim world is
making fun of Iran. The dudes in Turkey are crazy
clowning on them, clowning on him because it has shown

(32:15):
Iran to be the paper tiger, you know the term
they like to use, the paper tiger, and not the
bully of the Middle East, at least not with the
ability to do it. Um all right, yeah, man, I'm
looking at the graphics here too of what the sealed
team guys had to do. It's just this is just crazy. Also,

(32:37):
I hate losing one of those A ten wordthogs. Those
are my favorite planes to watch. They're the ones that
have the big what is it, thirty mil gun on
the on the nose. I think that's the only fighter
jets that are uh some Rea's gonna have to correct me.
Is it the only one that has that forward mounting
of them. It's just impressive to watch them when they
get spinning. Just the damage that they do, like it's

(32:58):
not subtle, but either way, we got everybody out and
that's what matters. And they didn't think we could do it.
There's a French general who was being interviewed like the
day before, and when he was asked to handicap was
the ability of US to build a runway inside Iran
to evacuate uranium, and he decided he was going to

(33:23):
mock the US. He said, American officials should stop snorting
cocaine between meetings. It's not doable and it is reckless planning.
Twenty four hours later, we did the thing we didn't.
It wasn't for uranium, it was for a person. And
this guy is getting absolutely clowned on because because again

(33:46):
to the reporter, I don't know that the French are
going to be the best source of information when it
comes to handicapping and other nations military effectiveness, considering the
track record. But either way, he looks like a total dunce,
which you know, hey, he walked himself right into it.

(34:08):
Do not feel bad, all right? Coming up teleportation basketball,
we got to talk about how they screwed that up,
and much more on the big stories there. So stick around.
We got a bunch of audio we're going to get to.
Oh and some parenting tips. Okay, all coming up, hang on,
Starting on time and not being delayed by a chain

(34:29):
smoker's concert. So that's good. I had to explain to
Ross because he doesn't watch the basketball march madness. Man,
the emphasis on the word mad, What the heck does it?
What does the NCAA think they're doing? Man? Between that
stupid quiz thing and if you watch, you know what
I'm talking about and a chain smoker's concert that nobody

(34:50):
asked for delaying the start of the basketball it was
I don't even understand what the financial incentive was for that. Also,
and this isn't me picking on the chain Smokers. Do
they have an album out or something? Is that some

(35:11):
new thing?

Speaker 3 (35:12):
The chain Smokers are so hot right now?

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Are they?

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. They
wanted to meet me in Paris. That's the last I
heard about him. So I mean, I show up very sad.
They're getting a free concert, right. I don't want a concert.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
I want basketball. So I turned the TV in. Some
people just can't you can't make them happy, Like, here's a.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yes, you can. You can start the game when you
tell me in the listening that the game's starting. People
like that kind of thing. I don't know if you
know this, you know what else they like? The chain
Smokers do they? Yeah, okay, well let's do this tomorrow.
We're gonna start the show at six point twenty, okay,
and then we'll see and if Trevor says anything or
Zach says anything, we'll just be I'm sorry. The chain Smokers,

(35:54):
you off the hook.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
You've obviously never seen Trevor's Chainsmoker's tattoo.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
No, I have not.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
It's a big fan.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
So that was one side of the equation. Over on
the women's side, Oh man, this is Yukon who you know?
You get the men obviously still vining for it, but
the Yukon women taking a tough loss to South Carolina
and a lot of people are mad at the Yukon

(36:26):
coach Geno, but I think a lot of that's driven
by ESPN. Has this weird They're like enamored with the
South Carolina coach And let me just remind you who
this woman is. Do you remember when Duke went to
play BYU and it was claimed that the BYU fans

(36:46):
were like screaming racist crap at them and being just nasty, which,
by the way, if you know anything about the people
of Utah. That should have been a red flag right there.
I think Ross and I talked about this pretty extensively
because Ross used to live in Utah. I used to
live next to Utah. And that just didn't sound like Utah,
did it. That sounded like Boston fans or something. Are

(37:07):
Philly Philly dirtbags. But the fact that it was, you know,
there's the racial connotation to turn into this whole thing.
And then they checked the video, they interviewed everybody, and
it was clear it didn't happen. But even after being
provided all of that information, this woman down in South

(37:29):
Carolina women's basketball coach in South Carolina canceled their match
against BYU because, quote, she had a gut feeling that
did happen. As she said a lot of other stuff,
she's clearly racist. And also, what's the name? Ross, what's
the name of the University of South Carolina's mascot or

(37:50):
their team name? Do you know what it is? Some
people tell you it's the game Cocks, others a game Cocks. Yeah, yeah,
apparently it's the Balenciagas. Oh, because I've never seen I've
never seen a coach wearing athletic gear like you can wear.
Coaches sometimes wear suits, they dress up, but sometimes they
just wear the athletic I've never seen somebody sporting what

(38:12):
is athletic gear looking but doesn't have the team's name
anywhere on it instead of just across the front, says Balenciaga,
the weird clothing brand where you can pay eight hundred
dollars for a ripped T shirt. So that's weird. But
that's who you're dealing with right there. So anyway, while
Ukon is getting absolutely spanked by South Carolina in the middle,

(38:35):
this isn't at the end right where all the emotion
comes out. You're you're you're in this final thing and
and and emotion comes forward. This is in the middle
of the game over a missed layup. This happened.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Left alone missus the lay up?

Speaker 1 (38:53):
All right, I just want to point out you hear
him say left alone, meaning she didn't even have anyone
on her. She just miss She does straight up missed
a layup. Uh, you know, one of one of the
things supposedly that you practice a whole bunch. Now, don't
get me wrong, I've missed layups. I've got a great
basketball player that Beings said, these are D one college
athletes in the final four, the sport.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
That bless the loon misses the layup, It's been that
time of night for you.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Con have you just steel for a young woman?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Learn those instant tears after a moment like that, she's
crying in the middle of the game because she missed
a layup. I'm ro have you ever Ross, have you
ever seen an NFL quarterback ball because he missed a uh,

(39:51):
I don't know, a five yard pass?

Speaker 3 (39:54):
I mean during the game.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
No again he's talking about during the game. No, no, yeah, yeah,
after the game again. You read all that emotion, all
that energy, all that endorphins going through you. It's I'm
not even questioning and I and look, I'm not even
trying to make fun of this woman. I'm just pointing
out that, like it's it's hard for people to take seriously,

(40:17):
what what is Look, women's college basketball also got a
bump off off Caitlin Clark. And that's a good thing.
That's a good thing. Man. But man, you tune in
and you're just like, why are you just just get
back on d what are you doing? So people people

(40:37):
see that? And then ESPN again, who is in love with?
For whatever reason, South Carolina women's basketball team. They had
every one of their experts. Oh, South Carolina's gonna drill UCLA.
It's gonna be amazing. They're gonna UCLA was up twenty
nine points going into the fourth quarter. Just ESPN exists

(40:58):
now for three purposes. One to uh a sow division,
two to platform racism with some of their some of
their anchors, and three to pimp other ABC projects like
the Sports Center. The sports Center twitter account kept trying
to pimp this new movie from the new Pixar movie

(41:20):
because ABC owns Pixar, Disney owns Pixar ons ABC.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
You get it.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Just so weird. So yeah, between the men when we
got the Men's Final tonight, who you got ross? Who
do you like?

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Who?

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Who you uh gotta go with? You come?

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Okay? All right? I mean that would that would be
a little bit of I thought you're gonna say Lee Trevino.
Thank god you didn't, although I've never seen Lee Trevino
miss a putt and start crying, so that you know
there is that.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Yeah, all right, which team is the favorite Michigan? Unfortunately yes,
because I didn't have any of my brackets going to Yeah,
I'm gonna go Yukon just because it would upset Dave Portnoy.
Oh okay, you know, and nothing against Dave. I think,
you know, he's entertaining. I like the one.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah, but he's more entertaining when he's mad.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Yes, that's why.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, that would that would do it.
So like I don't have a dog in a fight.
And really at this point, it's it's it's not gonna
help me win anything in any of my brackets. So
I will be approaching it from a pure monetary standpoint,
but that'll be a little later. We'll figure it out.
I think that I think the line's gonna move a
little bit. I'm gonna take advantage of that. But that's

(42:37):
just me, all right, So let's go ahead and get
into a few things. By the way, and I know
someone's holding on and I'm sorry, I just got distracted,
but I want to read this email because I was
talking about watching what happened with Maduro and then watching
what happened yesterday or over the weekend, and I ran
and just like just the the effortless nature, and it's

(43:00):
I understand that it's not effortless, but like it's so insane.
The thing that Iran and and really with Maduro two
is eighties action flick stuff. Okay, like you have to
suspend a little bit of suspend disbelief. Right, Oh, we're
gonna go into it. We're gonna go into the most
fortified military compound in the country. We're gonna discombobulate some dudes.

(43:25):
Take no, not that we're not even gonna lose equipment,
and we're gonna snatch a sitting president that we don't recognize,
but whatever, right out from under their fort bragg Essentially,
that's conceptually crazy. And then over in Iran, with everything
that we talked about and just the ability to do
it means we've had this ability to do it. And

(43:48):
yet there's so many times during my lifetime, so many
other many of your lifetimes, basically post World War Two,
where we've had some ups, but we've also had some
downs that clearly didn't have to be downs. Ross and
I were talking about this off the air. We fundamentally
changed the way that we do war. And I don't
just mean from World War One to World War Two

(44:10):
where we got into the rebuilding business, because you know
that that is seen as really an escalator and a
motivator for the Germans to go at it again. Right,
the immense poverty and destruction that was just left after
World War One, that's a separate debate. But ros Ross
pointed this out, and it's accurate. We don't even we

(44:33):
don't land capture anymore, and not just to capture it
to keep it, because clearly what we captured world War
two we gave it back, but to capture it for
the purpose of continuing the war fighting and starving the
enemy of resources, like, we don't even do that anymore,
and that has to just be demoralized.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Yeah, Somewhere between World War Two and Vietnam, we went
from land, you know, a war of land, to a
war of attrition or tear, I should say. Well, Korea
was kind of the bending of that, right, where you
would capture an area, then you would put troops there
and you would then you'd move on and you'd capture
another segment of land. Where in Vietnam we would go
and we would bomb the hell out of an area,

(45:13):
murder and went there flat it win. We never lost
a battle there, right, And but then afterwards we would
get up and leave and then they would rebuild within
a few weeks, and then we'd come back. And that's
demoralizing for your troops. You'd be like, what is happening there?
And especially before they discovered the tunnels in Vietnam.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, I read an interview with a former Vietcong like
military officer and he said that they lived under a
division or a large group of Marines, I think is
what he said. For two weeks. They could hear them
up there talking, cooking, doing all their stuff for two weeks,
and then they kind of moved out of the area
and they were underneath them the whole time. So, yeah, man,

(45:52):
this is can you can you imagine as we were
working our way up the island chain there so that
we could eventually strike the heart of Japan, capturing places
like Euagima and whatnot, We're like, all right, we won. Everybody,
get in the boat, let's go. Remember this is what
the Russians do to the Germans to absolutely obliterate that

(46:15):
portion of the German army. They starved him of resources
and then let win or do the rest. But we
don't do that anymore. And Dave wrote, he says the
reason our military can do this kind of rescue operations.
We're no longer hog tied by the stupid rules of
engagement of the UN and NATO. My dad was in
Korea way back when, and when walking century duty, he

(46:36):
was not allowed to keep his weapon loaded unless it
was with blanks. He could only load after he was
fired upon if given permission. And there's so many rules
of engagement stories that I've heard from you know, Afghan
Iraq veterans. They're mind boggling, mind boggling, and I and

(46:59):
have to kill. And what they're what they were doing
is they were tamping down the warrior ethos.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
There.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
That's what that's meant to do. You know, want a
guy filling his feeling his oats and rescuing the POWs.
He's just there to take pictures. That kind of crap.
And meanwhile, not only is Trump and Hagsath and the
military leadership coordinating this and Seal Team six executing this

(47:25):
and all the support that goes into it. I know,
Seal Team six gets the uh gets the the grandiose headline,
but uh, there there's hundreds thousands of people who are
working on this. All the guys that are running around
with the Reaper drones whose only job was to, in
a inconspicuous way, turn anyone to miss who gets within

(47:46):
a certain amount of clicks of this dude. And you
don't just have military, you got bounty hunters, all the
support ships, all the people that are you know, in
the intelligence side of this thing. This all had to
come together. Meanwhile, Trump's taken Trump's constantly on the phone

(48:07):
with reporters, He's live tweeting them. Here's Kristin Welker News.

Speaker 7 (48:11):
Overnight, in an extraordinary turn of events, the United States
has rescued this second crew member who was in the
USF fifteen fighter jet shot down over Iran Friday, President
Trump texting me directly this morning. The rescue was an
Eastern miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers
were brilliant, strong, decisive, and as cool as anyone can be.

(48:34):
The Iranians thought they had him, but it wasn't even close.
And remember, we got too, but couldn't talk about the first,
and that it would have highlighted that there was a second.
Such a rescue has never happened before in so violent
an enemy territory. It is usually not done because it
is considered not doable. Such a great military like no other.

(48:55):
Adding on truth, social open the effing straight, U crazy bastards,
or you'll be living in hell.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
I mean he's and I've heard multiple all of the reporters,
all all the reporters too that hate Trump, he still
talks to them. One of the CNN idiots was like
talking about how she can just call Trump. All these
reporters have his number, all of the all of these
different people. Tiger Woods has his number clearly. I know

(49:22):
you saw Tiger Woods was trying to call him during
that arrest. That was awkward, and he's engaging with them, Biden. Biden,
you had to pre throw questions and so put him
on a card. Now, Wilker's not off the hook here
because she had an interview and we'll get into the
audio with Jay Johnson, who is the former DHS secretary

(49:44):
under under Joe Biden, and she didn't do her research.
But also I will give Jay Johnson credit. He's one
of the few that didn't have to both sides. The
military operation.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Was that.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
That's the other thing he Keeme Jeffries was both sides
in it because he and it was you could tell
it was painful of him for him to be happy
that they rescued the pilot because he had to get
into the business of trashing Trump and hexcepth and everybody.
You know, Johnson really didn't do that, which is good.
But also there's a moment that's just a face palm

(50:21):
moment during that interview. So we'll get to that coming
up in just I'm just looking at my clock here. Yeah,
we'll have to do that here in the next segment. Anyway,
phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Did that?

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Did the rescue mission change your opinion on what's going on?
And Iran, let's talk about it coming up. I was
just telling a ross. So I took a flight over
the weekend and lo and behold the people. The people
who are sitting across the aisle from me, and then
the person right next to me. There's three of them
that are in a group, all for Portland, all about fifty.

(50:58):
It was a husband, wife and her sister. I think
it was her sister anyway, and they were, you know,
they were traveling, traveling that weekend, and uh, I could
hear them talking to people while we were waiting to board,
and I like I realized probably don't want to have
a conversation with them because I don't think it goes well.
They're all sitting right next to me, and uh. I

(51:20):
also realized I'm wearing my iHeartMedia jacket that we have,
like the zip ups that they gave us, and I
just you know, because you know, those planes, man, sometimes
it's pretty cold. So I got that thing on and
that that was almost my undoing. They're like, oh, what
do you what do you do? And I'm like, there
is no way on this planet you could extrade, you

(51:41):
could you could waterboard me and I'm not going to
tell you what I do wouldn't happen. And then they
started talking politics to somebody else who was in there,
and I'm just like, oh man, how could this get
any worse? And then you know, and then I also,
you know, see these skyline of Washington, d C. And

(52:01):
the way it gets worse too. As part of that
trip was to see where all the money goes to
get burned. But little did I know on landing up
there a Reagan that there is in fact a military
operator being carried out that we're going to learn about
within twenty four hours. It was crazy, man, busy, busy

(52:21):
all while they're speculating that Trump's at Walter Reed getting
ready to die. All right, let me grab one quick
call on all things of ran. That's just a big
open topic this morning because there's so many different angles
to it. What stood out to you? But by the way,
did you guys hear what the last radio communication was
of the guy that we rescued prior to him ejecting

(52:44):
God is good, which apparently irritated some people. Apparently irritated
some people like, oh, what a waste. You could have
used it to give your positions, like yeah, that's what
you should do. You should like jets disintegrated around him,
and you're like, oh, he should do all these things

(53:05):
you know nothing. In fact, let's put you into an
F fifteen. We'll light it on fire, and then you
see if you can operate rescue equipment well simultaneously I
don't know, shouting out George Floyd or whatever, however you
would use it, you woke idiot. So there's just so
many little nuggets to the story. Kind of amazing, let's see. Oh,

(53:31):
also the Space Shuttle too, What is was Commander Glover?

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Right?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
That's his name, right, he's super religious dude, and everyone's like,
I saw people arguing that NASA astronauts shouldn't do religious
stuff in there because he was talking about Easter and
stuff like that. You guys know that. A bunch you
guys know that. You know that they took communion on
the moon, right, Maybe you guys don't know this, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

(54:01):
So they took communion on the moon. And there's been
a lot of other things too. Glover is the one
who brought bibles up to the ISS. So this whole
separation of religion. People, just when your butt's on the line,
I'm going to give you a pass to say whatever
you want, even if it's over US owned military or

(54:25):
NASA equipment. How's that. We'll let you go ahead and
do that. All right, let's grab this call George. What's up?

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Hey? Good? More Casey. I think we need to change
people's conception of what boots on the ground looks like.
When people hear boots on the ground, even some prominent Republicans,
they automatically think of Quagmire. They think of Vietnam, they
think of Korea, they think of Afghanistan. What we saw
over the weekend was what boots on the ground actually

(54:54):
is you go in, you obliterate your mission, you get
out or hold the territory with taking little to no casualties.
That's what boots on the ground really should mean.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
Well, but to be fair, to be fair, they've treated
us to fifty years of boots on the ground meaning quagmire.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
You know what I'm saying, Well, that's that's exactly my point.
And I think that the biggest peak heads that I
can do is to change that, that the conception, you know,
to say that this is what because if they want
to open up the Straits of hor Moose, you really
need to take car Island, and you need you know,
you need that strategic area, and the only way to

(55:36):
get it is where boots on the ground. But surgically
the way this weekend's operation went. Yeah, to change people's
conception that this administration is no longer interested in getting
into quagmires.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Well, I you know, in my mind, I when I
hear boots on the ground, I don't I don't know
that I count one in operations. And maybe you're right,
maybe we need to change that. But I understand why
the American public hears boots on the ground and and
they think of those things. That's why I wanted to
make a point this morning to point out that it's

(56:12):
crazy these two things that we were able to do
with very minimal notice. And then you wonder, well, what
the hell these guys been up to the last seventy years,
Like what are we doing? How many losses it did
we take because of the cowardice of command structures in
that time?

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Absolutely, Casey, that's the point I'm trying to make.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Yeah, yeah, and he doesn't mind shooting stuff, all right, George,
thanks for the call to appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Yeah, all right. Let's go back to by the way,
back to Welker. So she's interviewing Jay Johnson, who was
the Department of Homeland Security head under you know, not
under Trump, obviously under Biden there, but but Jay Johnson
should know better, and so he doesn't say anything. But
also he's not but I want you to hear what
Christin Welker said to him, because I'm really confused.

Speaker 7 (57:05):
Secretary Johnson weigh in on that point and the fact
that there is no head of DHS right now at
a time when DHS is shut down, does.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
That do real damage?

Speaker 4 (57:15):
Yes, I'm concerned that these perpetual shutdowns do long term
damage to aviation security, counter terrorism, cybersecurity.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
All right, all right, all right, How does the former
DHS secretary and the head of one of the weekend
network shows not know that Mark Layne Mullen was literally
voted and sworn in weeks ago. That's weird to me. However,
I will give Johnson credit because he was one of

(57:47):
the few former Obama or Biden officials that I saw
on there who they only wanted to say. They only
said nice things about the rescue because they felt that
they had to for the human reason, But really what
they wanted to do was just trash on Trump. And
I actually appreciate Johnson, who's curly partisan in his response.
I expect that, but this is the way, Frankly, it

(58:09):
would have been smarter for a lot of them to
handle this.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
This operation for the first pilot and this second pilot,
so remarkable exercise demonstration of US military courage, technology power.
I would encourage the President and the Secretary of Defense,
consistent with operational security, share as much of that with
the American public so that the American public can appreciate

(58:35):
what goes into this kind of operation is more complicated
than the bin Laden operation. For example, I'm not sure
any of that something.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
And by the way, I want to correct myself, Johnson
was the final DHS under Obama, not Biden. But the
point stands, no, and like even he recognizes, and I
saw a lot of people making that point. What they
did versus with bin Laden is remarkably more complicated because
one we weren't necessarily war with Pakistan. Two you had

(59:06):
months and months to put the Binladin operation together and
they still knocked it out of the park, even though
they had to destroy aircraft as well. So yeah, it's
just the whole thing is absolute lunacy. But uh but
in like in the this is the proposal, and you
would think if it was pitched to Hollywood for a
movie thing, they'd be like, yeah, I don't know, I

(59:30):
don't know people are gonna buy that. And yet that's
what they executed, all right. Seven forty four Jeff mah
from the Weather Channels, from the standing by, where is
mister stagic today? You get the easter too hard or
what happened.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
Ain't too much at Easter candy yesterday?

Speaker 1 (59:45):
I got ten pound that ten pound chocolate bunny from Costo.

Speaker 5 (59:48):
There was yeah, yeah, apparently, yeah, he'll be back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Okay, all right, well, well we're happy you're here and
it's Master's week, so give me some good news.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Ah yeah.

Speaker 8 (59:57):
Dry weather throughout this week and a little bound the
cool side for us as we begin this morning, but
during the afternoon we'll eventually warm up to sixty seven
with a partly to mostly cloudy sky and the light
breeze out of the northwest, then dipping into the upper
forties overnight, where the cloudy sky will see sun breaking
through the clouds Tomorrow afternoon and hit sixty eight a
little bit cooler behind the front Wednesday, with sunshine low sixties,
and then we'll start to head the other direction on Thursday.

(01:00:19):
We'll see clouds increasing and hit sixty nine mid seventies
by Friday under a Sunday sky and a beautiful weekend.
Saturday and Sunday will be treated to sunshine, high temperatures
for the upcoming weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
She'd warm to the load to mid eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
I mean, this is just gonna be perfect, all right.
We'll talk in an hour, Jeff, to appreciate it. Seven
forty five back in just a few. Oh no, if
I'd ever seen more angry Europeans at the US, just
trashing man and you know, like get all your bases
out of here, get out of here, you know, you

(01:00:52):
bunch of imperialist scum. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, maybe, okay,
I mean I feel like that's the totality. The idea
of just removing all bases from Europe is not practical, right,
And you know, there is a necessity. I think what
we have in Germany probably is very necessary. That being said,

(01:01:17):
just the vitriol and anger ross made the point off
the air. They're just butter hurt. They can't do what
we do. And that's a large and that's for a
number of reasons, size scope. What the expectations were post
World War two, and the expectations were that US was
going to be there with the North American Trade Organization

(01:01:40):
or whatever whatever. The New York Times called it. What
a screw up. By the way, I don't know, do
you guys see this. The New York Times, this was
in their print edition, referred to it as North American
Treaty Organization. That is not what it's called. It's the
North Atlantic Treaty organization, but they wrote a North American
Treaty Organization without America question mark, and people were taking

(01:02:03):
them to task. Obviously if you're not knowing what they're
talking about. But if the Europeans won US out, I okay,
But you also can't call anymore. You can't call when
you need info or it hits the fan or or whatever.
Can we borrow this cause I could do a whole

(01:02:23):
show just documenting all the times any of these countries
have asked the US for assistance and we go, all right,
let's do this thing. And I don't just mean sharing intel,
I mean get their hands dirty. So if that's what,
be careful what you wish for. And and you know,
there are various ways to prove why this would be

(01:02:43):
a horrible idea. Let's just talk. Let's because we're talking
about aircraft here. Let's talk about aircraft, and I'm talking
we'll talk total aircraft, but we'll also talk fight combat jets.
Did you know if you just count combat jets, if
you allow every other country in the world to count
all of their aircraft, so any military aircraft, any military aircraft,

(01:03:08):
we have more just combat jets than all the other
countries except for two. That's an insane number. Let's go
to some of the winers. France this is total aircraft
nine hundred and seventy four. United Kingdom fourteen hundred, but
it's my understanding that less than one thousand are operable

(01:03:30):
from reporting I was seeing by UK media. Germany has
nine hundred and twenty five. Mean, you get the gist
of this.

Speaker 9 (01:03:39):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
How many total military aircraft do you think the United
States has? This is total military aircraft?

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Thousand, but no, no, that'd be crazy. It'd be awesome
to go much slower, lower one hundred thousand. Well, you
just heard the numbers I was riffing off of, like
one thousand for France seventy five thousand. Okay, No, it's
much lower than that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
No, it's unfortunate suppressing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
What do you want an aircraft in every garage?

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
You shall not be infringed.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Yes, no, we have fourteen roughly fourteen thousand, fourteen thousand
total military.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
That's not nearly enough.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Well, and that doesn't count any of the reverse flying
saucer stuff we have. Probably.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
Oh well there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Yeah, that's where it is. In fact, the next most
is Russia with forty two hundred, so we have roughly
ten thousand more aircraft than Russia has. We have well
more than ten thousand than China has. They only have
thirty three hundred. So you know, if you if you
want to break up with somebody who has that level
of resources, then do what you're gonna do. I guess.

(01:04:50):
By the way, play one other piece of audio here.
I saw the weirdest parenting tip and it was just
like people sent this to me too. This is this
is a thing from Fox News. Check this out. Some
woman has cracked the code to make your kids stop crying. Jessica, Jessica.
Are you there? The girls? The kid's name is not Jessica.

(01:05:12):
So the tip is to randomly scream some other person's
name to confuse the child Jessica, Jessica. And it did
work in the video Jessica.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
And everyone like, oh, this is brilliant parenting. That kid's
gonna need therapy, or like, this kid's right in that
age group where they're learning words and stuff and names,
and the kid just looks were confused. Are they gonna
grow up thinking their name is Jessica? I don't know,
Ross pointing now they might think the girl from the
ring's coming to get them.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
Yeah, you're gonna summon some sort of demon or something
named Jessica.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
But yeah, I don't know you ever you ever tried
yelling the wrong name at Lincoln or I don't know.
I don't have kids, so I don't know. Maybe it worked.
My mom actually used to do this. She was og
on this. Only ours was it named Jessica. Was named
shut your face or I'll give you a reason to
cry was the full name. And that worked, by the way.

(01:06:13):
That was very effective. But yeah, apparently if you just
screamed the wrong name it's your kid, they'll shut up
and stop crying. I don't know, test it out, you parents,
let me know. But it was one of the otter
little videos I was sent over the weekend. And then
this on the on the Iran front, the former Iranian
general Salami Am I pronouncing that right, General Salami, the

(01:06:37):
one we murdered with dogs or no, that's the one
we turned to miss We murdered the other guy with dogs.
So his niece and grand niece were living in the US.
And then she's all like death to America while she's
living in the US. Also she's running around a bikinis,
posting Instagram photos, the whole thing. Yeah, we snatched them
up and were deporting them. Now, the reason, a reason

(01:07:00):
I keep hearing come up. It wasn't just the sheer
audacity of coming to the United States, living here while
wishing for its destruction. It's also the part where a
bunch of Iranians who are seeing this info realize this
double standard. But also she kept going back and visiting.
She was here on an asylum claim, asylum claim saying

(01:07:23):
that hey, if if you send me back, something will happened,
and she kept she kept going back. So that's under
that auspice is why she and her daughter are getting deported. Man.
And I'm here for it. And by the way, I
keep seeing stories like this, We're gonna have a bunch
of rollover tomorrow. That's just the way that it works. Obviously,

(01:07:43):
all the stuff with Iran, all the gatcha journalism that
was attempting to be had. Let me give you some
examples of this. Well, the New York Times, right, who
thought they were making a point with can you have
a North American trade agreement, trade organization or treaty organization
without America right, it was the got you of it,
and they didn't even know what NATO stands for. That's embarrassing.

Speaker 9 (01:08:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
They were also bemoaning this general who or this this
general who was ousted at the Pentagon. They're like, oh,
right in the middle of a war and he's firing generals.
Tell me you know nothing about chain of command. The
hr general at the Pentagon is not also the dude
who is handling any of the worst stuff. That's not

(01:08:27):
how it works. And frankly, if you're a Pentagon reporter,
some of the people who were writing this crap, you
freaking know better. But that didn't matter. Also, this is
so bad. This So here's how the Daily Mail over
in the UK decided to frame after we found out
that the operation there was a success?

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
Right to do? So?

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
I get to scroll down here you want, you want
some some disingenuous framing. Uh, they got it for you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Trump's daring extraction of US airmen trapped in Iran almost
failed and cost dozens of American lives. What do you
mean it almost failed? It didn't almost fail. You're talking
about the I'm assuming they're referring to the planes getting
stuck what a way to frame that. And people are
given examples the US men's hockey team almost lost to

(01:09:19):
Canada or something, you know, just various examples. It's like, no,
they won. You can say they won, and you can
say that this worked. But I'm telling you the amount
of hostility coming out of Europe and of course the
you know, the media with it. And and here here's
the other thing too. I would argue that the overwhelming

(01:09:41):
negative coverage that almost looks to be cheering Iran on
is hastening this. It's hastening it. I think if the
media was being because like, it's pretty incredible what they've
been able to accomplish. Remember that one of the first
stats that was insane was every time, every every other
time they fired a missile during the opening days. We

(01:10:03):
didn't just destroy the missile, because we destroyed most of those,
but we destroyed the launch platform, and we decimated in
the first three days half of their capabilities to launch.
We then proceeded to sink their navy. This is what
you know rules of engagement. Actually reverting back to a

(01:10:25):
more World War two esque version, looks like you're able
to go in and do these things. But if it's
all negative reporting and it sways people's public opinion. And
clearly Iran is keeping an eye on the perception of
this outside what Iran's not incentivized to the greatest extent

(01:10:46):
to give up the ghost here so they can come
out and say that they're going to rain hell or
whatever their threat was this morning when I woke up
and happened to see it, they got and say that
stuff because there is a perception by enough people that
somehow the US is losing losing this. So why why

(01:11:08):
would I ran be incentivized to you know, comply with
what Trump is demanding. Anyway, food for thought there. But
I got to get into this because I don't know
what the heck's going on here. So there is a dude,
Oh crap, hold on, hold on, I just closed the

(01:11:32):
wrong thing. Uh, dang it. That's my bad. I was
trying to trying to do too many things at once.
There is a guy claiming that he was teleported.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
His guy.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
He is a FEMA official. His name is Greg Phillips.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
I got this back and he was pointed late twenty
twenty five. He is publicly claiming that he experienced multiple
involuntary teleportation incidents. I know this is weird, but this
isn't fringe, man. This is being reported on CNN and
Fox and other places. I've been kind of following it,

(01:12:18):
and the fact that he is a senior FEMA official,
right that there's there's stuff going on there. In factly
here is here's Initially it was on a podcast where
he where he talked about he had.

Speaker 10 (01:12:30):
A teleport incident, two of them, which transported me about
forty miles from from where I was and near Albany, Georgia,
to the ditch of a to the ditch of a
of a church, chained up at a waffle house, like

(01:12:51):
fifty miles away from.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Where I was.

Speaker 10 (01:12:53):
It was an incredibly frightening moment to experience yourself in
your car flying through the air.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
It was possible.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
It was real, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
So again, he says that he was twice teleported, once
while driving once while I guess near his home, and
he ended up one time being teleported to a church
and then the other time to a waffle house, which
in Georgia, I suppose they tell aport you anywhere, you're
always gonna be near a waffle house. But still so

(01:13:27):
that raises some eyebrows. What's going on? Well, there's a
backstory with this guy, and frankly, there's a lot going
on in this life. There's a religious component, but also
he's undergoing significant medical issues in the form of cancer
and cancer treatment, significant cancer treatment. So CNN had a
follow up on it over the weekend. I just want
you to listen to this. Andrew Kazinski broke the story.

(01:13:50):
He's with us now. Andrew, what exactly is Philip saying now?

Speaker 11 (01:13:54):
And how is he explaining these claims?

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
All right? I just want to Pausor because I hate
when they do do this with the media. Your dude
didn't break the story. The guy went on a podcast.
The podcasters, I guess broke the story. You didn't break anything.
Somebody sends you a clip from a podcast, and now
you're doing a story. But I digress.

Speaker 9 (01:14:13):
Brianna Phillips is doubling down on his teleportation claims in
a series of new social media posts over the last week. Phillips,
who oversees the government's disaster response, is defending those remarks,
saying they were part of a religious experience and citing
examples in the Bible, while also accusing critics of taking
him out of context. Hater's going to hate. That's what
Phillips wrote in one of a handful of comments over

(01:14:36):
the past month, media not way from his claims, but
defending them and doubling down all of those coming in
the days following CNN's reporting on True Social, Phillips defended
himself by writing in one post, I have no regrets
from my words nor my faith in my savior of
Jesus Christ. The Bible has many examples of the power
of God. In that same threat, he then shared a

(01:14:56):
passage from the Book of Acts describing the apostle Philip
being quote snatched away by the Holy Spirit and appearing
miles away, and when another user asked him directly if
he had experienced something like that himself, Phillips responded yes,
adding quote the Bible calls it transported or translated. That
post has been deleted since our reporting. Now we asked

(01:15:17):
FEMA and Phillips which part was taken out of context,
but we have yet to hear back. But Phillips did
post a lengthy response to our story on True Social
on Wednesday, writing that the podcast occurred while undergoing cancer
treatment and quote the podcast at the center of this
controversy was part of chronicling that journey, and during that
journey things happened that I can't explain.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
All right, all right, so that's CNN's reporting. And of course,
you know, you got the conspiracy side of the internet,
which I you know, I enjoy going and checking out.
It's always interesting who you know, have chalked it up
to the Philadelphia Experiment kind of stuff, for you know,
some sort of a nefarious government thing where they're testing

(01:15:59):
against people's will. Teleportation, there's the religious component, and while
the Bible doesn't talk about teleportation, doesn't call it that,
there are instances within the Bible, such as the one
he quoted which involved people being moved distances. Philip was moved.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
There's a theory too that Jesus walking on water was
him time shifting, I think is what it was. But
I guess that would kind of be it. So he's
going back and forth, maybe interdimensional again. You don't have
to buy any of this stuff, but ultimately, these conspiracy
theories are out there. I don't think it's as complex

(01:16:37):
as that though, And I feel for this guy because
you know, he's going through the cancer treatment and Ross Wood.
I'm curious your thoughts on this before I get into it.
You think this dude teleported, was teleported by I don't know,
God or the government, or maybe just maybe something else

(01:16:58):
is going on.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
I'm just focused on the cancer treatments and the medication
and maybe blacking out and maybe not having a real
good grasp of yeah, time and reality.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Because now he's got CNN's coming for him, right, because
they like their position is this guy's a religious loon.
We got to get him fired.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
And I'm like, I, I mean a lot of people
have made the joke of hey, I've I've also blacked
out and woken up at a waffle house.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
Yes, that that is that is that is low hanging fruit,
but is accurate for a lot of people. You never
you never got transport. I told you. I told the
story before I got transported across the boat. I teleproted.
I teleported the Mexican border into the US. Did you
know that I was actually passed out in the back
of my buddy's SUV and then I woke up in

(01:17:43):
the parking lot of like a mall, in a Hooter's.
I was basically John Daly. Uh, and what had happened
was the engine after they we had crossed over, basically
gave out. This is when I was in college and
uh my, uh no, good buddies just left me sleeping
in the and they were literally at a little hotel
that was right there too, So so yeah, yeah, it

(01:18:05):
was uh, it was not teleportation. It was me just
being hammered. So I don't know. I just feel bad
for the guy because now they're like, oh, he's claiming
he was teleported. Okay, other theories. Dude was caught in
a tornado. Uh all right, maybe ale that's Alex's theory. Hey,
it worked for Dorothy Man worked for Dorothy, so it

(01:18:29):
can't happen, all right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. You want to be on the show,
all right there? Oh yeah, let's well, let's do this.
We'll go ahead and take a break, will we come back.
You guys know who Magnus Carlson is. I'm sure you
do if you listen to this show. We've talked about him.
So he's you know, is he the top ranked player

(01:18:50):
in the world. Still I don't follow chess enough to
know if he's still the top rank, but he's kind
of like he's definitely up there. So he was, he
was at a tournament and he did he did something,
and I don't know why people are upset with him
because he was so nice the whole time. But we'll
get into that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
See what you think.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
He's back at the number one spot.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
He is number one again, yeah, because I remember he
lost that match and kind of got kind of kind
of rache quit it. I didn't know if it impacted him,
so anyway, so he's yes, he is number one chess
player in the world. And he he had a match
against a woman from Kazakhstan who's his total fangirl of him.
And I'll let you know what happened coming up next

(01:19:33):
here on the CaCO Day radio program. Tennis players for
some reason are total a not all of them, but
they're like there's a lot of high profile examples. They
just wig out screaming at the ball boys just trying
to grab balls. Should word that different? And then chess players, man,
just there's some psychopaths in there, and I don't know,

(01:19:54):
I don't know that Magnus Carlson is one of them.
I just I just want to point out that you
know he for the most part when you see him,
he's very happy, go lucky. I did see where he
lost a match last year, and he did. He pounded
the table like me losing a video game when I'm twelve.
But he is back number one. So he's in a
he's playing some chess tournament in Germany, and he's matched

(01:20:14):
against this young woman, Alua Nerman, and she is she
is smitten with him because he is a god in
her sport. She's never got to meet him, and now
they're gonna play each other. So they sit down and
she being you know, is she eighteen nineteen, so she's
very young. She asks Magnus if they can do a
selfie together. Then he obliges. He says sure, absolutely, smiling

(01:20:39):
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
They're having a pleasant conversation. So they take the selfie
and Magnus gets up and he walks over to where
the judges are and reports her for having a cell
phone at the table. You're not allowed to have any
you can't have a cell phone there. And it doesn't
like kick her out of the tournament or anything. She has,
just a warning. So they come, they give her the
They she gives the cel phone phone and then they

(01:21:00):
play the match. He won, but yeah, he obliged. And
and by the way, even in the article she says
how nice he was and how she screwed up, and
it's it's okay. But then people were mad at him,
like what kind of psycho? Pat takes the shelfie and
then reports her. And I'm like, you'd be wouldn't you
be more mad if he got up the moment she
asked and then reported her. No, he gave her what

(01:21:23):
she wanted.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
No, I mean he was nice about it. But you're living.
You know, this is a competitive world, and you said
they're nuts. They're so competitive, and a lot of them
just go crazy, like a Bobby Fisher or a Paul
Morphy before him, Like these guys like end up in
like insane asylums. And but especially where you now have
a history recently, how many stories have you done with
like check cheating and chess.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
Including somebody to put a vibrating thing in correct them? Yes, yeah,
so that's it. If you didn't hear that, you could
look it up. That's your own peril.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
Yeah, man, But that was that was the reason story
with him, the recent story with Magnus that we did
before this one was he was in some sort of
online tournament and he could tell that the guy was
cheating using like an AI program. Yeah yeah, yeah, and
he refused to.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Play the guy. Do you do your see Queen's Gambit?
The Netflix series uh mini series is very good. No
about a woman who plays chess.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
No, the protagonist in her face freaks me out, like
the shape of her head. I can't watch anything she's in.

Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
Anya Taylor Joy, the actress.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:23):
There's been tons of stuff where Mark and I will
start watching it and then she shows up and we
have to turn it off because her face freaks us out,
like the shape of it. She was involved in some
sort of controversy where she won an award for being
a woman of color or saw or she was named
like you know, like oh you're a famous and like
they were like, no, she's like a white chick from Argentina,
and there was sort of she's Latina.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Yeah, she's from Argentina. That doesn't it's just because she's
too white. People are very white Argentina. If you go
down there, it actually stands out. And I actually, when
I was down there, I thought it'd be rude to
ask I did a little research. It's because Argentina late
eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds was much further ahead than
most of Latin America, and so when a lot of
Western European immigration was coming, you know, to the US,

(01:23:06):
clearly there was also going to Argentina. I want to
say half the population is of some sort of significant
European descent down there. So have the ability to be
technically accurate in a story and then wildly inaccurate after that,
so that they can turn it into some sort of
struggle session. All right, So here it is. Women were
never meant to give birth on their backs. They do

(01:23:28):
well none, uh well, pop up popped up for their hanging.
All right. Yeah, women were never meant to give birth
on their backs, but they do so because it's more
convenient for men. What what are you talking about? So
you dive into the article and they start talking about,
you know, going way back in history, how women gave birth,

(01:23:52):
and they cite different examples that are recorded, like Cleopatra
would kneel. But yeah, it's not to say that they
they didn't do that. But I would also argue that
that the times they were doing that, they weren't doing
it in a you know, with the medical apparatus that
we have now, not that women need to do it.

(01:24:12):
There's a lot of women to give birth at home.
Midwives are a thing, and a lot of countries that
you would never think to travel into a hospital to
give birth. That being said, why is it men's fault?
Because at the same time you're talking about oh, well,
then the you know, the men did it, and their
argument is because when it transitioned to hospital births more

(01:24:33):
men it was, you know, doctors were mostly men, and
so it's their fault that women do this. But I
would argue, and I'll let Ross point out, because you
made the point off the air, there's another difference between
old timey births and new new births that have to
do with men. Ross, can you think what that might be?

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
So when I was reading the Gospels, I was really
into like I like looking into the history of the author,
the time, the original language, but also like my brain
goes into weird places too. So you're talking about the
birth of Jesus and I was wondering what was it
like to give birth during that time? What were you know,
just how would you do things? So not only like
you mentioned you know, for the longest time, women would

(01:25:11):
give birth standing up. But also men weren't even allowed
like there, like you, you weren't allowed there. So when
when Mary gave birth to Jesus, she was like surrounded
by other women or the women that were at the inn,
or some were saying like the family members or stuff
like that. So the guys weren't even allowed to be
in the vicinity of the birth, which, by the way,
in many many countries is how they do things right.

(01:25:34):
So it's sort of like that old when I think about, like,
you know, when I came into the world and my
dad was in like the smoke filled waiting room of
the hospital with the boys, you know. Yeah, I mean
that's for a guy, that would be a lot easier.
That would be a lot of stress free, right than
having to be in the room and participate in all
of that. So what who wrote this BBC absolutely out

(01:25:56):
of their minds?

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
Yeah, authors day is Lucy Sheriff.

Speaker 3 (01:26:01):
What is their argument? Why do they say that the
way we do it now is fad better enough?

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
So here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Most women in post industrial countries are confined to hospital
in recumbent positions. Well, the practice is illogical, making birth
needlessly complicated and expensive. So their argument is twofold one.
When they started doing the hospital thing, most men were
doctors in you know, first world countries, and then they
did this so it was so it was easier for

(01:26:29):
them to work as people delivered babies. And then the
other argument that they're making seems to be a financial one,
that they're doing it so they can use all the
stuff to make to run your bill up. That's her
argument is best I can understand, I think if I
remember correctly, and it could be off. I think the
reason they started doing it the other way where you
lay down instead of standing up, was it was less messy,

(01:26:51):
I think was the way. Well, yeah, look you want
do you want the doctor to have the best visual?

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
I don't know how to describe this, you know what
I'm saying, like, like, what's going to be in a
position for arguably the second most important person in that room, right,
first as the mother, clearly right, but the second one
is the person making sure the mother and then eventually
the baby or babies, right, that everyone's healthy and so
if there's a problem, they need to be as quickly

(01:27:20):
able to spot that and I feel like if they're
just you know, waiting under the hoop with their hands
there for the baby to pop out, that maybe they
they could miss some stuff. I don't know. I've never
I've never been in a room where I did watch
The Miracle of Life in like eighth grade. And then
I got in trouble because I made a joke because

(01:27:40):
I was in eighth grade and you can't compare it
to a what Saint Bernard coming through a cat door.
But the point remains that it's not everything's a conspiracy.
Some is just historical evolution. Let me ask you a question,
because there's a seat. What is the in Zulu? Did
I just have? I love old movies?

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
I watch Zoom Lou over the weekend. They have a
scene where, yeah, like one of the native women's giving
birth and then all the men are essentially excommunicated from
the area, and but they're just you know, they're on
a dirt floor in a in a hut somewhere. You
want to get birth there or over at UNC health?

(01:28:19):
Where'd you guys go?

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
Ross?

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
We have WAKEMD weake Man, would you rather have wakebed
or dirt hut floor? I would go with WakeMed you
gonna go with wake bed all right. Now, why is
that because you're an evil man and you want to
make your wife miserable?

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
Because, okay, so we have a family member who recently
did the whole birth at home thing, and I know
that's popular with some people.

Speaker 1 (01:28:41):
For us, it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
Because for us, we're like, you know, listen, when Lincoln
was born where there was a massive complication where he
almost died and he was without air for the longest time,
and he was sort of unconscious when he was born
because he prolapsed, And we keep thinking of if some
thing really horrible goes wrong and we're at home, we
would you know, we would much rather be in a

(01:29:05):
hospital surrounded by doctors who can handle a situation like that,
because if we were not, Lincoln would be dead.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Yeah. Yeah, So like again, so my point in extracting
all this is do you want to make it sound
like a conspiracy when in reality it kind of seems
logical to want the best chance for your child and
and and you know they and the mother you want
you want everything there, and that's that's not some sort

(01:29:33):
of weird thing. And by the way, I'm sure your
wife probably thought the same thing. Right, She's not here
for me to ask, but she would prefer a hospital
over dirty two thousand times. Okay, all right, I did
I You know, I don't know if you had to
run it by her, but I kind of feel like
maybe she would be on board with that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
You know, we've both done the same feeling where people
talk about like, oh, we're gonna it's the beauty of
doing it at home or in the bathtub at home
or where Like, are you nuts?

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
I could see that if you're on like a dug
or number two twelve. You know what I'm saying. I
think if I ever had kids, the first woman have
to be in a hospital and then we can have
a conversation. Yeah, but if you got a dozen and
there haven't been anything, then whatever you do. You But
you know, the BBC has got to make it into
a whole thing because that's what they do. Uh. And

(01:30:20):
it does provide content for MI show, so I appreciate that.
I'm very upset. I saw this article WKRP in Cincinnati's
making a comeback thanks to someone in North Carolina. I
did not know this ross. Did you know that WKRP
call letters were being used in Raleigh by a nonprofit station.
I did not, and they're giving them back to a

(01:30:43):
Cincinnatis I want them. I want wkr that'd be amazing.
How do we not have these? So some station there's
not a lot of info is going to rebrand under
WKRP in Cincinnati, which, by the way, right good idea. Yeah,
one on one nine thing. Yeah, I'm not super familiar
with this station, but yeah, it's gonna be going back.

(01:31:06):
So there's a little bit of nostalgia there. But man,
if I'd have known those were so close and they
were willing to give them up, this would be great.
Call letters. This is a super radio thing. But still
still still still this is this is a lost opportunity.
All right, is mister Jeff mar already from the Weather Channel.
Let's go ahead and chat with him. Although he's it's

(01:31:28):
easy work today, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
Yeah, not bad at all.

Speaker 8 (01:31:32):
If you're a fan of dry weather and comfortable temperatures,
it's gonna be your kind of weather. Pat a little
bit on the cool side as we start off this morning,
but a high eventually headed to sixty seven, where the
mix of clouds had sun a cloudy sky tonight down
to forty eight for a low winds will stay light
well see early Klauds to marw but then plenty of
sun during the afternoon with a high sixty eight, a
little bit cooler for Wednesday. Another Sunday afternoon with the
hind the low sixties. Then we begin to warm back

(01:31:53):
up later in the week. Clouds will increase through Thursday
afternoon with a high in the upper sixties. You're seventy
five hut her sunshine Friday, and how about our next
weekend sunny and warmer for the next Saturday and Sunday
when high temperature is sitting the low to mid eighties
each day.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
So there's a theory by one of our listeners in
my email that the reason Ray's not here is because
he was part of the rescue mission to get our
pilot back because sheal ten six could all hide behind him.

Speaker 8 (01:32:16):
Now I'm okayle, we'll find you can find out tomorrow
when he rolls.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Out thanking able to talk about it. It's a CIA
mission too anyway. All right, well, Jeff, appreciate it, Thank
you very much. It is eight forty four. We'll come back.
We got Dan Schwartzman in today for Bloomberg. Neuse, we'll
talk to him next.

Speaker 5 (01:32:32):
Good morning.

Speaker 11 (01:32:33):
Case see the sudden jumping gas prices felt by American
consumers is set to be on full display and key
inflation data throughout this week kind of miss penciling in
a one percent increase in the consumer price in next
for March. That's the sharpest one month advance since twenty
twenty two, after the war in the Middle East pushed
gas prices at the pump.

Speaker 5 (01:32:50):
Up by about a dollar per gallon.

Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
Well.

Speaker 5 (01:32:53):
United it is the latest airline to raise bad fees.

Speaker 11 (01:32:55):
The airlines raising fees by ten bucks for tickets purchased
after last Friday. Now, under the new policy, most passengers
can expect to pay forty five dollars for their first
check bag if they prepay ahead of time, fifty bucks
if they pay their baggage fees within twenty four hours
of their flight to the United's first increase to back
fees in two years and comes on the heels of
Jet Blue also increasing its fees. Last week, The Screenwriters'

(01:33:17):
Union in Hollywood Studios reaching a tentative four year agreement
after about three weeks of negotiations. Now, terms of the
deals were not immediately announced, but it is expected to
include several writers as priorities such as better healthcare plans
and more protection against artificial intelligence. Bitcoin rebounding a bit
jumping back above seventy thousand dollars, the original cryptocurrency rose

(01:33:38):
more than three and a half percent. It surpassed seventy
two hundred dollars before pairing some of those gains. Bitcoin,
though still down about forty five percent from its peak
above one hundred and twenty six thousand dollars, which is
back in October. Ups agreeing to a new settlement at
the Teamsters union over drivers Severn packages. The dispute began
earlier this year when the delivery giant tried to roll

(01:34:00):
out a buy out program for drivers without approval from
the union. Under terms of the settlement, severance offers will
be capped at seventy five hundred drivers nationwide eligible workers.
They can receive up to one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for early retirement, and offers will be made based
on seniority. Uran's choke hold on the Straightahorn moves, which
is of course limiting the flow of oil through the waterway,

(01:34:22):
has now led to several airports in Italy having to
issue advisories of limited fuel supplies for the next few days.
Fuel restrictions for flights have been introduced at airports including
Milan and Venice, with priority being given to medical, state
and long haul flights. Finally, Casey, futures right now, they
are mixed. The good news is the SMP is up
a tenth to one percent. NAZAC that's faring the best

(01:34:44):
of four tens to one percent. The bad news, well,
the Dow is currently down a tenth of one percent.

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
Okay, Dan, appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (01:34:52):
Are you with us tomorrow or I am here with
you tomorrow as well? Casey, Oh all week or no, no,
just today? I wish no, just today and tomorrow and
then somebody else on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (01:35:02):
But did Denise she's Easter too hard? Or she you
know that pound of bunny?

Speaker 5 (01:35:07):
Did she's a party you know, she's a party animal.
What can you say?

Speaker 1 (01:35:10):
Okay? All right?

Speaker 5 (01:35:11):
Oh, you know even Denise takes a day off here
and there.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Okay, all right, Dan, appreciate it. I have a good
one there, you two, case Dan Schwartzman there from Bloomberg News.
All right, So Ross is telling me something, uh, Sidney
Sweeney related, but it's but it's only somebody's opinion, right,
So uh, apparently there was a rumor that Sidney Sweeney

(01:35:35):
is being considered to be the next James Bond.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
Yeah, so now I'm torn.

Speaker 1 (01:35:38):
But it's only like one director saying that. I'm trying
to figure out the details here because, like you know,
there's been a discussion about do you do a female
Bond and it kind of a little bit of that
played into the last movie. I won't give it away
if you haven't seen it, but it wasn't full She's
now bond in the real sense. She's just a Bond.

(01:35:59):
I don't know how to describe it. Oh, I wonder
people come around if Sydney Sweeney was Bond though, be
interesting to try to name it to She could be
a Bond girl for sure. Man, I don't know who
the next Bond is gonna be, but I will go
watch that if she's in it, I'll watch it anyway.
I like the Bond movies, and this is cool. So

(01:36:22):
let's see. I want to make sure I have the
exact time herew uh six forty seven. This is ironic
because that was almost the exact time they did the
launch too. So coming up tonight at six forty seven,
the Artemis two ship will go to the dark side
of the Moon. I think you're required to drop acid too,

(01:36:44):
just based on that. But no, So they're gonna go
behind the Moon and for forty minutes they will be
out of contact with us.

Speaker 3 (01:36:52):
Do conspiracy theory is gonna go nuts?

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
There's something's gonna happen back there, right, They're gonna come
up with something. They remember that apply with.

Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
The movie Apollo eighteen, right where the whole prey was
a horror movie. The whole premise was they did send
the eighteenth and Aliens got it spoiler. So I don't know,
but this is play. Everybody knew this was going to happen. Yeah, dude,
it is really insane when you look at the how

(01:37:22):
accurate they have to be when you actually visit. There's
a good graphic I saw that shows like the figure
it because when they took off, they didn't just leave
Earth and go to the Moon. They went around Earth
so they could get that big gravitational acceleration to send
them to the Moon. You have to calculate it and
remember when you're calculating out that far, it has to
be far more accurate than when you get close, so

(01:37:44):
that you can use your trip around the moon. And
if you're not close enough to the moon, you don't
get the gravitational assist, you.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
Don't come back right, you just keep going forward.

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
You get too close to the moon, you get to
visit the moon. So they have to get this incredibly correct.
And while they can reposition, I was reading something that
their margin for reposition is in the hundreds of percentile
like point seven or I'd have to look it up.
It's less than one percent, far less of wiggle room

(01:38:18):
that you have there.

Speaker 3 (01:38:19):
They can push the craft a little bit this way,
a little bit that way. They had a issue this
weekend where the toilet once again was having issues, and
they said the issue was the vent had frozen over,
so they had to position the shuttle or the craft,
whatever you want to call it, to face the sun
so it would melt the ice so they could go
to the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:38:35):
Mm hm, Which is this is why you need an
air lock. Yeah, you can get rid of it, you
know what I'm saying. You can get rid of whatever
you want. Somebody you don't like waste, right, just get
the air lock. You go in there, you do your business,
you get out, you open the air lock. Off it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:38:51):
The best I had somebody like explain it in simple
terms was because once again, you're not making a straight
shot for the moon because everything is moving. And it's
sort of like leading with a football when you try
to hit a receiver, or you're gonna throw it right
at the receiver because everything's in motion.

Speaker 1 (01:39:05):
It's like bird, honey man, you gotta you aim in
front of the bird, depending on the shotgun you're using,
the distance, the type of bird. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
And it is uh, it is so pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
Look.

Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
So if when they get back the worst thing that
happened was the toilet thing a couple of times, that's
a win, man. But can you imagine the way the
media is treating the Iran war if they treat the
Artemis mission like that or like it was basically a failure.
They couldn't poop for about thirty minutes or whatever it was,
Oh in their outlook crashed. No again, I'm gonna say

(01:39:37):
this because I said it before. It's a This weekend
felt so good to be an American
