Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh I am, I am. I am halfway back to Raleigh.
I only made it halfway from up in Ashville.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
This was planned.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's not like, uh, you know, something broke on the
y old station vehicle.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm just uh, I.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Mean Greensboro or Greensboro Studios for a few days, and
they have a slightly different setup here roster. The mic
still sounds like it normally sounds, though too much. All right,
all right, Jackedy Chackey, how's that doing for you? Is
that a little better? Why is the game so hot

(00:35):
on this? I am now at one fourth of the studio.
What are they doing here?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
All right? Hold on, hold on, hold on?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
All right?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah and start all right, so we're I'm at zero.
That's just the story of my life.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, I know, I know, I know, I know. All right,
that's just one of those, one of those.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm trying to think of the last time I came
to the I guess it's it's been I think I
was February January. I can't remember, so I don't know
they did something in here. Don't worry. The left handed
mice that also have reverse buttons are still here. I
know Ross you were concerned about that you're like, geez,

(01:19):
I hope he has the worst setup mice for the
computers on the planet even if they change. But don't worry,
they didn't change anything. They're still here. So hate those
with literally all of all of my energy. Okay, so
those are still going on, all right? Coming up on

(01:41):
the show, we did a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I guess we did a thing. Ah, geez, I just.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Hold on, Are you really not gonna let me get
into my button bar?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I swear we are.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
We are a communications company with a technical department, and
it's just like, you don't need in your button bar?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Why are you being greedy?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I'm gonna lose my crap this morning, and I have
such a fun story to tell you. All right, let
me try.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
This real quick, dude, do do do do? Is that
gonna work? Nope?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
All right, So I get to uh so, technically our
offices are in high Point, right, I've mentioned this on
the show, So we're I mean, we're we're like right
downtown high Point. If you know where the food hall
is and the baseball park, we're in that building.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's not a secret. We have signage anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
So uh, I get down here and I always stay
whenever I come to Greensboro, to the Greensboro Studios. I
always stay at the same hotel, which I'm not gonna
tell you lunatics which one it is. That being said,
it's in high Point. And I go to the hotel
this morning, last night or this afternoon. Actually i'll talk

(03:09):
about what I did yesterday because it's part of kind
of the ashvill thing, but that'll be coming up. So
I get to the hotel, I don't know five ish ish,
go to.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
The lobby and.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Immediately it looks different, not because the hotel renovated. The
entire lobby is filled with beautiful women. You ever do
you ever have something go wrong in your life and
then in your mind you're like, ah, kind of think,

(03:45):
you know what, I was kind of a jerk at
this thing, and that's just karma catching up with me.
Are you just so this is the opposite of that.
So I walk into this lobby and it's just beautiful,
I mean beautiful women. And you'll know I'm not being
a purv. I just want you to understand. You'll understand

(04:06):
when this story's over. So I'm like, what is going on?
And I don't mean like, I mean like classy, right,
and everyone's just you know, they're checking in, or they're
sitting in the restaurant there, or they're you know, they're
with their families just standing around talking, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Like, what is what did I do right? What is
going on here? Now?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
They're also like, you know, early twenties, mid twenties, so
and you know, so I'm just an old man at
this point, at mid forties, I might as well be
their father.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I can still.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Appreciate the fact that this lobby is the hottest lobby.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I've ever been in.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And so I'm checking in and I always stay at
the same hotels, so like all the people work there
know me. And the lady goes, hey, Casey, boy, did
you picked the right week? And I'm like, what is
going on? What is happening? And she's like, over at
the theater referring to High Point Theater. Is the Miss
North Carolina pageant? I guess they have the Miss teen

(05:13):
North Carolina. They have like three different pageants, but like
the so the Miss North Carolina pageant is it started
yesterday and I guess runs through the rest of the
week or something, and like half the contestants are staying
in my hotel. So that explained what was going on
in the lobby. But here's where it gets funny. So

(05:34):
I'm like, but I'm tired. I've been driving all day.
I didn't get a lot of sleep because I had
a client thing on Saturday night the night before. So
I just go up to my room and I put
show prep together, which is kind of normal. I send
it off to Ross. I send it a little early,
and I'm like, all right, well, I gotta go get
something to eat. So I, you know, go downstairs, jump

(05:55):
in the station vehicle, run over to one of the
restaurants of the fast food place over here, just grab
a burger.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Come back.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
And you have to understand, is nobody really sits in
the lobby. They might go to the restaurant there and eat,
but the other half of the lobby is like a
TV with some loungers, you know, pretty standard hotel stuff,
But nobody really gathers down there except where they're all
kind of checking in and eating. The entire other half

(06:29):
of the lobby, where nobody normally sits.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Is full of dudes all watching.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
The NBA Finals. Yes say which, By the way, Oklahoma
City won. Spoiler alert, Want one but I mean when
I say full, I mean there's like thirty dudes. There's
not even seating for all of them, and they're watching
the game on a TV where you can't even.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Really hear it.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Nobody watches, really watches sports in the lobby of this hotel.
It's just it's not saying. There's a reason it's not
set up. They don't want you crowding over on that side,
and yet it's full because the other half of the
hotel is a.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Football tournament that was going on.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Because I talked, I talked to a couple of the
dads on the on the elevator, I'm like, what is
going on here? You guys you know, looked like pageant
parents like, oh, no, we got our kid plays in
the traveling Football or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I didn't. They didn't really explain it.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
So so you have an endless stream of pageant contestants
coming in and all the dads from the football tournament
are sitting down there, probably sucking in their gut or
doing whatever you do. And it was just it was
so sitcoming down in the down in the lobby. I
was just laughing. I just went up and went to bed.

(07:55):
I wish I was more exciting than that. What you
know why, I didn't want to bet us. You ever
been there where you don't want to embarrass all the
other dudes because you're just a chick magnet? You ever? Ever,
I didn't want to do that to them. I thought
that that would be rude. So uh anyway, Yeah, So
that was that was my yesterday. Well that was the

(08:16):
very back half of the yesterday. The other half of
my yesterday was like, we just bombed around what's that?
What's that gonna look like? And we're going to explore
that as the show unfolds. We got lots of sound
to do it. We got a few other stories as well.
But that's the biggie and we'll get to it coming
up here on the CaCO Day radio program.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Ross and I were just talking.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
So this is a comfortable level for you, Ross, and
I don't have to scream, right Ross, tell me I'm yelling.
It's just it's the Mike's and Greensboro. It's it's like
a weird subconscious thing because you you want to push
it to a certain level going on in your headphones there,
and it's not just turn up the headphone volume. There's

(08:59):
it's a specific thing. So we like this level right here,
and I don't have to scream.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Right Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think the issue is when you're there, like the
it's a headphone feed sounds weird, so you end up
doing that old man thing where you're yelling but you
don't realize you're yelling.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's one hundred percent. Yeah, could you just
try to push it to what you want to hear
in your headphones? And uh, there's weird. Can pray it's
a whole thing here? So all right, well we'll get
through this. I'm well, I got three shows over here,
so I'm coming back Wednesday. I'm not here all week
just because I was in Asheville all week. I'm like,

(09:32):
now I got to get back to Raleigh and we
got a got a client thing. So all right, Uh
so I don't know if you guys know this. We decide, hey,
you know what, why don't we go over to Iran
and blow to smitherings three locations and one of them
like to smitherings, and then we blew the smitherings to

(09:52):
more smitherings and then more smith and then that time's
that by six okay, And we did sell through the
use of the largest ordnance, non nuclear ordinance ever created
by man, because that's you know, it's what we do here,
USA number one, suck it and so. But it's not

(10:16):
a moab anymore. It was just a few short years
ago we all learned about moabs. But now it's not
a moab anymore. It's something different. In fact, let's get
into it. Shall we hear his general or retired general,
but Joint Chief of Staff chair mister dan Kin or
what do they call him, Raisin Caine, Dan Raisin Caine,

(10:39):
which by the way, he should get an endorsement fee
for that, just because Raisin Caine's the restaurant. But also
he likes destroying stuff and he's pretty good at it.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
So tell me what happened, sir.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Last night, on the President's orders, US Central Command, under
the command of General Eric Corilla, executed Operation Midnight Hammer,
deliberate and precise strike against three Iranian nuclear facilities. This
was a complex and high risk mission carried out with
exceptional skill and disciplined by our Joint Force. I want

(11:12):
to thank every service member, planner, operator that made this
mission possible. Their actions reflect the highest standards of the
United States armed forces.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
This operation was.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Designed to severely degrade RAN's nuclear weapons infrastructure. It was
planned and executed across multiple domains and theaters with coordination
that reflects our ability to project power globally with speed
and precision. At the time and place of our nation's choosing,
this was a highly classified mission, with very few people

(11:46):
in Washington knowing the timing or nature of this plan.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
By the way, that's what I wanted in general.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Do you hear how he's not opining there's not politics there.
I don't know if you remember listening to the guy
who would just not even show up for work for
weeks at a time, but basically his predecessor under the
Biden administration, who come out and talk about feelings and
genders and like, no, no, if you're running stuff, I

(12:19):
don't care of your general retired general chiefs of staff, whatever.
Just tell me if you blue, did you blow something up?
All right, great, tell me what you can about it.
And to his point about nobody knowing about it. That
is why that is the main reason that Democrats are
absolutely in a tizzy, and that is why you've probably
seen one hundred times over the argument he has to

(12:43):
give forty eight hours notice to Congress, not all of you,
not at all. And and the fact that it wasn't
leaked proves the point of why they didn't do it.
Nobody knew. They even rope Adobe to him with some
B two's out of Guam. Man like, hey, we're gonna

(13:04):
put these things. Oh, we're just moving some stuff over
here to Guam.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Nothing to see. And Iran's like, all right, we're keeping
a night. Oh my gosh, all our stuff exploded.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
That's funny in the grand scheme of things, if you
think about it. But the fact that none of it
leaked is because when you tell Congress, let alone, when
you tell Trump's enemies, they would have leaked it, and
I and and and frankly, that would be almost treasonous
in nature, and they still would have done it. And

(13:36):
I'm glad that Trump. This is the this is the
thing that always bothered me about his first administration. He
would have a meeting in the Oval Office. There'd be
five people five one time there was three, and then
CNN would have a transcript of what was just talked about.

(13:58):
And I could never understand and why they weren't not
actually shooting people.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
But when I say shooting.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
People, I mean firing people, Like how hard would it
be to determine how that keeps happening? And then it
kept happening, and now the administration's clearly like, we're not nothing,
We're not doing this again. And I'm glad they fixed
it because they're having ross.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
There hasn't been a lot of leaks this.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
You remember the first administration right where they just immediately
have the audio over at CNN, Washington Post.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Really, you know, it's been a very tight ship.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yes, it's been incredibly tight. You know, with Biden it
wouldn't leak, and Biden wasn't even the one required because
he didn't know what the hell was being said. But
Democrats were willing to leak it.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Remember that was one of their concerns when he was
picking his cabinet. They're like, he's just picking these people
that seem like they're going to be very loyal.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a good thing, right that
you if you want to have people that are all
on the same page.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I mean, they.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
They've solved whatever that was. So anyway, mister raising canes
out there. Oh I got one more cut and I
just looked at the clock. So we'll play that and
we come back. Sorry, I had to reprogram the mice.
I'm I'm on war footing right now every time I'm
in this damn studio, man, because it's just not natural.
I'm not going to get into all of it again.

(15:22):
But we have a left handed program director in Greensboro
who also reverses the buttons on the mice, and he says,
that's what left handers do. And Ross's left hand and
he says, that's not what left handers do. So now
I literally go into the settings and change them. I'm
doing him a favor, really, I mean, if you think
about it, so that he could be a normal person.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Any who.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
All right, So we were playing some audio here from
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and this is what I want.
Just give me a clinical what happened. Give me a
clinical what happened. Maybe expand and a little on what happened,
because a lot of people are stupid and they don't
have critical thinking skills like people are.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Like, Ah, then we use our old bomber been around.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Do you do you think that do you think that
that bomber is what was building? It's like the plane
you got on on the discount airline that's been sold
through three different or do you think maybe just maybe
it's a little more updated than when it first you know,
when you first found out about it. I think I

(16:33):
think maybe again, this is where critical thinking comes in.
Uh maybe, just possibly we've made a few updates over
the years because uh we basically we put a bunch
of kids. Actually I don't want to be insulting because
they're not kids. They're they're clearly grown ass adults. Yeah,
they get the extra word there, but you know, and

(16:56):
we we I don't know if we we shot them
up on do Do fuel or you know, the gamer
stuff or whatever. They have a mini fridge. It's like
a dorm room in this thing. I was reading this
article in the New York Post. They got to a microwave,
some cots and a mini fridge.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's a dorm room.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
And we're like, hey, you're in Missouri, and nobody wants
to be in Missouri. How about you fly over to Iran.
But you know, you can't let you can't do anything
that lets them know that you're there. Bomb the hell
out of these three spots, including one where you hit
with you hit it six times and then fly back.

(17:37):
How long is a day and a half. It'll take
you a day and a half. Oh, we're gonna hold
a press conference to the moment.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
You clear airspace and it you know, sir, Yes.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Sir, and then Bob, they nailed it, and then you
know all the support that goes along with that, and
nobody knew.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Nobody knew.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
For all of you who are out there right now,
you're like, what's a ran gunna?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Dude? Now now here we go, it's World War three.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'm beginning to question the ability of Iran to really
do anything.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Now, don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean they're not
going to do something.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
But of a full on nature, Like I don't think
Iran can can wage big time war man.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
No, I mean they can't control their own air space,
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Like, they don't have the technology, and I don't know
that they're going to have the motivation. I don't know
that a lot of people in the Revolutionary Guard if
it really came down to all right, now you gotta
face and it wouldn't just be the US. I know
that it really kind of only been the US alongside Israel.
But if they really wanted to get in this, you
would see other countries step forward. And I don't think

(18:43):
that a lot of the guard people want that. I
don't think they want it at all. Ross do you
think they could do that?

Speaker 6 (18:50):
No.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
The only thing that really concerns me, and it's not
really a concern is but like I said, I'm Iran
doesn't seem like a threat really at all much because
they can't control their own air space and they're just
getting their ass is whooped. They have no idea when
we fly in, fly out, Israel flies in, it will
does whatever they want, and they keep sending out these
messages like today's the day we're gonna do something that
you're never going to everybody's gonna remember for centuries, and

(19:12):
it's like nothing, nothing happens.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
The only drunk guy at the bar, Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
The only thing that concerns me is if like Russia
were to really start helping or then like they they
form an alliance with like China and Russia and then
it's a Ryan because then you have like a new
axis of evil and then I you know, that's like
a World War three type thing. But I think they're there,
you know, Israel and Russia are actually friendly, right, Yeah,
I heard Putin talking about this. There's a big percentage
of people that live in Israel that came from Russia.

(19:40):
Like they speak Russian, like the former Soviet Union.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Wait do you know why though? Do you know why?

Speaker 7 (19:44):
That is?

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Because Russia didn't like the Jewsy right? Yeah, yeah, that
was the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Stalid was not a fan. But anyway, we're gonna move
down here.

Speaker 8 (19:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, so post war, you know, post World War One,
the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, they don't like the
you know, they got their own issues. They don't like
the Ukrainians, and don't like the Gypsies, and like the Jews.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Whatever, the whole thing where it's like, well, we weren't
afraid of them getting a nuke, but now we're afraid
of them retaliating. They don't have nukes anymore, they don't
have a program. We completely wiped it out. That is
if you believe what we're saying, Because then you have
like people, you know, obviously the propaganda machine over there
and I ran where they're like, we're standing in front
of where the US bomb did you see that video there?
We're standing idea.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, they also said they moved everything months ago. Right,
Sure you did, Sure you did, absolutely months ago.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Really they did say they were they were gonna rebuild
and it wouldn't be an issue. But then the New
York Times is like they estimate that their nuclear program
was taken back thirty five years. So yeah, you can
start rebuilding and we'll see you in thirty five years,
and then when you make any progress, we're gonna bomb
you again and you'll have no idea where coming.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Just really just like every five years. You can even
tell them what day you're doing it.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, you know, so you can.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
You can Larry Bird call your shot in front of
their face and they're not going to do anything to you.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
They can't.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
We should create a new federal holiday, so we get
another day off ross you with me, another day off,
not a prey day off. I ran bombing day. Right,
It'll literally be a thing on the calendar. We'll have
mattress sales. Right, it's like, come down and get you
I ran bomby day, mattress discount over at mattress whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, the thing that like nothing, you can do nothing.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, I'm sure you saw this too, purely. Oh and
now I'm worried about the blowback from Iran. It's like
we are the blowback bitch with this is blowback from
everything they've done since nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's well, I mean, they only killed.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
A few thousand Americans directly and then state sponsors of terror.
And here's the other thing. I here's what I don't
understand about all of you boo Jews people. Right, by
the way, you can have all sorts of thoughts. I
absolutely agree by the way that net and Yaho sees
himself is a bit of an emperor. I don't disagree
with you. That being said, you don't have to make

(22:01):
it sound like Iran's the good guy, which is so weird.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Right, it's so weird. It is super weird because they
are a nation of terrorists, blankheads. That's what they are.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Not the best, but I'll give credit they have.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Look, there's a reason that they're one of the largest.
They have the largest diaspora. Uh, you know, basically people
who don't want to live there anymore. Yes, Uh, there's
a reason. Because you don't hear a lot about Iranian terrorists, right,
no suicide binds.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
They enjoy funding it. But like they're they're they enjoy
funding it. They only take part.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
But that being said a lot, there's a there's millions
of Iranians that don't live there that absolutely hate Comeni
and all the.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Rest of it there. Yeah, and they've been speaking out
to in social media. But overall, Yeah, their government is
a government of It's a theocratic death cult, is what
it is. Yeah, who's been wanting. They want all Christians
and Jews dead, period, That's what they want.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
That is the other part of this, like, well, if
we just leave them alone and be fine, do you
not understand how that works?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't know. Do you do you not understand.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Why uh uh uh be rejecting that religion is a
death penalty in that country and not just that country.
I had my own criticism with uh uh you know
apostasy being uh where they're opening a Disneyland, right, it's
kind of baked in and I but I ran practices it.

(23:31):
You want to see gay dudes hanging from cranes, all
you have to do is literally look at footage and
Iran of the rally they had the other day, and
there's like it's crane city back there, and it and
it and it's it's homosexuals, it's but it's also people
who murmured something negative about the current regime.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Man. And then Ross is right, death cult is a
is a proper term, man.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
And then then like going back to that blow blowback point, right,
they're like, oh, well, now you got to worry about
sleeper cells because we did this. Okay, So hold on
a second, Right, If now you're worried about the sleeper cells,
that means they had already put sleeper cells here. And
the reason they had done that is because they've been
at war with us for a while, even though we
don't want to acknowledge it, and so that was always

(24:17):
a threat. And also if they did that, so you're saying, also,
there's a problem at the southern border and people getting
through to bring the sleeper cells in. So which one
is it? Because if they're here already, if there are
sleeper cells, then I mean they were sort of already
at war with us.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, but but no, it depends what the sleeper cells
were here to do. Now, maybe they were here to
open Iranian restaurants, right right, I'm trying to be one
of these a holes on Twitter. Maybe they were just
here to open restaurants, and.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Now they're going to be here for Burder back right
said boots in there. And do I want extended war?

Speaker 7 (24:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't, No, not at all. What would have been ideal.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
What would have been ideal was for us to go
in destroy any capability of them having nukes and then
walk away that they can realize how screwed they are
and then they can determine where they're gonna go. But
the fact is they've already been going a certain direction
towards us for a long time. If anything, this is
going to take out their ability to use a nuke
on like I said, Jews and Christians everywhere, so pretty

(25:14):
much it's what I will take out their nukes. And
they said, okay, and yeah, and here's where.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Here's where it's going to be extremely unhelpful. So every
single Democrats come out, damn near and they're like, oh,
that's fine, he can't violate it. We're gonna have to
impeach him again. Have fun with that. And also Joe
Biden or somebody acting as his proxy.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
He bombed four different countries. I just want to play.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
He bombed four different countries, and two of them the
people he bombed were essentially proxies for the Iranians, Uh
you know the who these and in Syria, so Yemen, Syria,
right well, Iraq.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Afgas. I know he bound five different countries. My point is,
are we really gonna do this?

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Can we just can we just take a W even
if it's just part of a larger thing. Can we
just be like, hey, good job members of our military.
They just went and did something that literally, technologically and
frankly from probably from a training perspective, no other militaries
able to carry out on the planet, including China.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
It was so impressive. And I'm sure you saw this
and it's not original thought, but it is. Literally it's
a Maverick. It's top gun Maverick. Yeah, pulled it off.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, it just top gun to you. And you didn't
even have to steal his old plane. Spoiler alert have
you seen have you seen the new Maverick?

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Finally, I saw it up to the point where he's
showing them that it can be done, where like they're like, oh,
this can't be done. Yeah yeah, oh yeah, well there's
a plane jacket later that's kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
So yeah, yeah, so you know, take the W.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
You know this is honestly, like, I feel like this
is really good advice. Somebody asked me from the tourism
thing because she was trying to think she was trying
to be like introspective or whatever, and she's like, what
is your what is your philosophy for radio.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Right?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Nobody had ever asked me that, And I thought, you know, really,
my philosophy is you can be right without being an
a hole unless you're being an a hole, and then
I'm going to be a bigger a hole.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
And I don't think she found that very amusing.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
But also like, here's here's my philosophy for life. Take
the W sometimes take the W man. The amount of
people that can't just take the W because they got
to sit here and and they gotta just pistol whip
whoever their opponent is. In the world of politics, it's
it's honestly one of the most frustrating things. Do you

(27:52):
remember when stuff used to unify us a little bit?
You didn't have to be all in the last Well,
the last time I saw a thing that kind of
sort of crossed aisles unified us was Post nine to eleven,
right with Bush out there with the with the bullhorn
at ground zero and just for a minute, we're like, oh, hell, no, oh,

(28:15):
you're all gonna pay. And I understand what it turned into,
but mentally we were kind of unified. The political parties
in this country, all of the both of them, both
of the big ones have They work every day to
destroy that ability. You know, That's why they're scoundrels. That's
why I don't want anything to do with and I
don't get invited to speak over at their crap. And

(28:37):
I'm so I'm so upset at the GOP right now,
with these judges and them doing nothing, and the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Destroying the rule of law.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
For the purpose of handcuffing their political opponent. Honestly, I
just I hope they all get in a bunker somewhere
and then they can't find the key to let them out.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Well, I'm sorry, what we're gonna say. I'm very happy
this morning. That's no.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
It reminds me of when Osama bin Laden was killed, right,
which is a really good thing.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
You know, what did we do? What did we do
on the show? Well, I was we had a party,
remember we had a thank god he's dead.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Party? Was I here?

Speaker 1 (29:12):
You might not have been here, but we that day
we found out, you know, because he did the speech
at night.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
The next morning, I'm like, we're having a party. And
then we had a we had a restaurant and be like,
we'll host your party. We had that.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
We filled that restaurant with everybody. Well, yeah, screw that guy.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Right, and that that's the appropriate response, right, because he's
dead and that's awesome, and he should be dead because
he's a terrorist blank head.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Right, that's yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
But you did have people on the right that were like,
because I saw it, where they're like, well, this this
is bad because it means Barack Obama's gonna get re elected, right.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Right, right, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Makes the Democratic Party look good. So I'm against it.
So wait now you're against Osama bin Laden being greased?
Are you insane? And it's the same thing here like
I RAN's like I said, they were about ten.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Percent of our listeners don't think it happens. It's fair.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Fair, I don't know it's theirs, but yeah, their nuclear
program was taken out and they should not have a
nuclear bomb because they want as we said, they're at
theocratic death cult that hates all Jews. And Christians that
that's their motivation for life. But what do you I
get up every morning and I'm like, no, I want
to murder all these people.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
That's what it is. So that's a good thing. Hold on,
that is kind of how I get up every morning. Fair.
I don't want to actually murder them, but yeah, but
locked in the vault.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
But there are people now, there are people on the
left that are like, this is bad because Trump did it,
because it makes the Republicans look good, because that is
something that should have happened.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, and they're gonna probably impe They're going to try
to impeach. If somebody was going to file articles, they're
not going to go anywhere, But that's gonna happen. No,
going back to what Ross is saying, think of the
worst child, you know, not yours, of course, yours are
all angels, but that neighbor kid or your you know,
your son's friend, or what I think of What was

(30:58):
the movie with John Ritter. It was a great Problem Child, Right,
do you remember that movie Problem Child?

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
A kid was like a like a real life Chucky.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, yeah, christ it was so funny. I seem to remember, Ah,
I lo'll be some John Ritter anyway, think of that
kid and and for whatever reason him getting a chainsaw.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Or something like.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
That's what you're dealing with here, right, because there is
almost a kid like aspect of the technology that they have,
and yet Iran was working on getting something real, real,
and it's and don't let him tell you that only
Trump thinks that. Everybody thinks that, because the argument for
years was not that Iran doesn't want a nuke, it's

(31:42):
that they don't have the technology to quickly acquire one.
And for whatever reason, after Trump did what he did.
Now I'm sitting here and I'm watching these lunatics go.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Oh no, they were They had no, they didn't want
a nuke. It was all for energy. One.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
That's not what you and rich for energy production, not
in any country, not here, not anywhere.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
So don't give me that.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
But secondly, you went from they want it, but they're
too stupid to make it to they never wanted it.
That That's Ross's point, and he's absolutely correct, and that's
why you need people like you know, General Kine. Then
I just realized I talked too long again, So I
promise we'll.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Play that audio.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
We have thoughts, We are. I've been stewing. I've been
stewing all weekend. Man, I had the whole had like
eight hours of driving around yesterday checking stuff out, which
I'll give you a little report because I gotta tell
you there's a lot more open than I thought would
be open, which was my point of going up there,
and then yesterday doing a little explore.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
And then there is.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Some crazy crazy signs from that storm still, so we'll
get into it. Hang on what to call the new
the new Holiday Bomb? I ran Holiday bomb, teeth works,
whatever you want, Oh wait, I will. You gotta be
somewhat sensitive though, because we have some people who are outraged.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Ah, so what happened? Sorry, there's way too many.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
I just want to work in the in the setup
and studio setting that I'm accustomed to. Cannot wait to
get back to Raleigh. Man, everything here is not built
for me crazy left handers. Anyway, we do have some
people who and I honestly, I thought this was going
to be on Friday. This is how pollyannish of me.

(33:38):
On Friday. I thought this was going to be one
of my big stories. And then I just realized I
only kind of remembered it. Kroger made some people very
mad on the Juneteenth Holiday, and I'll explain what happened,
and we'll do that here in a little bit. But
I got to play this audio. I keep promising to play,

(33:58):
and then Ross and I get off on tangents. So
so this is the second half of the Joint Chief
Staff General Retired General Cain talking about the mission and
the success that it was and the specific surrounding it,
and again the fact that none of it leaked because

(34:21):
they didn't tell a single Democrat about it. That's why
they're going to be all butt hurt today. They did
not trust them enough to tell them why because every
time they do, it leaks.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Same and and you see this, You.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
See this due with if you get a Democrat in there,
Republicans leaked this crap because really Congress is a bunch
of children.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Maybe not individual, but as soon as they all get
together and they start raw ron for the team.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I just want you to remember, for.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Those of you who are would consider yourself Republican or
Conservative or any of the rest. We had a judge
over the weekend decide that Abrago Garcia, the MS thirteen
dude from that we're bringing back from El Salvador should
be let out. The judges have run am uck and

(35:14):
the GOP has not articulated a single plan to deal
with it other than well, we'll go through the normal
channels here in the courts. The entire process is to
convince you to go through the quote unquote normal channels
and not utilize the other things available to you, and
you're just going.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Along with it. So through all y'all.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
You know what, Ross, I don't think I'm gonna have
the Congressman on Wednesday, do because he would be on Wednesday, right, Yeah,
that would be the rotation. He can come I'm gonna
reach out to a seat, he can come on. If
he can articulate how the GOP is going to deal
with this, that's all I want to talk to him about.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm just done. I'm just done.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
The judges, oh, Bregogars, Oh yeah, we got to release them.
There's no flight risk there.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
His job. His job is moving people. That's what's so great.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
It's not just the part where the multiple judges have
determined that it's more likely than not that he's part
of this criminal enterprise. His job is to move people
and not get caught. Now, he screwed up that one time.
We got the video, but that's his job. Could you
think of could you think more of a flight risk?

(36:34):
The only flight risk more than that is the right brothers, right,
I could, because nobody can try to like, ah, what
are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Chase me with your other plane? No you're not. There
is no other plane.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
That's the only bigger flight risk than this guy whose
job it is to secretly move people.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
You think he's you think he can't.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Disappear, So no gop and do they get nothing until
they explain it? And I don't expect the congressman to
be the only one, but he sure is. Hell better
make it a priority and he can explain what they're doing.
I'll communicate that. Now we have another congressman that keeps

(37:20):
trying to get on the air or am I yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
he can too. I think it's Richard Hudson, and I
like Richard when we've had him on. But he can
explain it too. And no bandwidth for this anyway. Tell
me more, general, tell me how badass our military is?

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Shall we currently unaware of any shots fired at the
US strike package on the way in at approximately six
forty I knew nothing Eastern Standard time two ten am
a ran time, the lead B two dropped two GBU
fifty seven massive ordnance penetrate weapons on the first of

(38:02):
several aim points at four doh. As the President stated
last night, the remaining bombers then hit their targets as well,
with a total of fourteen mops dropped against two nuclear
target areas. All three Iranian nuclear infrastructure targets were struck
between six forty pm and seven h five pm Eastern time. Again,

(38:26):
that's about two ten in the morning local time in Iran,
with the Tomahawk missiles being the last to strike at Esfahan.
To ensure we retain the element of surprise throughout the operation.
Following weapons release, the midnight hammer Strike package exited Iranian
airspace and the package began its return home. We are

(38:50):
unaware of any shots fired at the package on the
way out.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Again, that's all, that's all I want from my military guys.
It's just pure clinical. They didn't fire a shot at us.
We lobbed some Tomahawks at the end on the softest
target just so they keep attention there, and then we
blew the other ones to smithering.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
We said, the good.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Stuff, the Tomahawks via submarine, right, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But the more I see of stuff like this and
how smooth this operation when they had no idea we
were even like above them or there and it just
kind of happened, Like, the more I'm convinced, like all
this UAP stuff we've seen is just our stuff, generations
ahead of what we currently know.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah, and frankly that's kind of the way that it
should be. Right for the same reason they didn't tell
any of the Democrat members of Congress about mid Midnight Hammer.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
By the way, do you like the name Midnight Hammer?
I'm okay with that. I want the job who gets
to name these things?

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Man, let me see, I'm gonna come up with a weird, sexy,
covert name Midnight Hammer.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
But no, no, no, but here's my but here's my question.
Do you think that in the under the Biden administra
had somebody naming.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
It stupid crap dumb. Yeah, they're like pelvic cop uh and.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Then you know insert what it is? Too spirit, the
too spirit takedown? Right the guy of poor military. Oh
did I'm sorry, I will said, guys, Ross, did you
hear me almost say guys in reference in our military.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
It's too late for me to dump that some of
my apologies.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Oh wow, Oh I'm just the worst. Oh how do
I know? Because the New York Post told me I'm
the worst? Absolute lunatics?

Speaker 6 (40:35):
Man?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Did you see what they're butt hurt over? This is boy?

Speaker 1 (40:38):
If you want the Insufferable a Whole award, you want
to win it every year the congratulations because I think
that's going to be the case. Why do you think
some Republican will tell you something other than political be Well,
then then then they don't get in more airtime.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Wait, so what you don't want me to question them, sir?
Because you think they won't lie or they'll lie. How
does it make that make sense? Dude? I'm gonna look
on Monday.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
I just assume everyone's in a bad mood anyway, So
I'm just gonna ignore that crap.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Okay, But like, what what is it you want me
to do? Not ask?

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Because you don't want to get lied to. Maybe I'm
misinterpreted in your email, because that's why it's coming across. God,
I can't believe you'renna make them lie to you.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
I'm not making anybody do anything.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
I get angry, I throw tantrums, and then I don't
give them airtime. You know why, because it's currency and
I have it, then they need it so they can
come correct and they and they can talk about it.
And and frankly, maybe if enough radio hosts and others
didn't give them free airtime, then they might actually do something.

(42:00):
But you got judges telling that they have to release
Abrego Garcia.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Sounds like Trump.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Administration is not going to do it, by the way,
so who the hell knows where that's going to go,
as they shouldn't not a flight risk. The guy who
secretly moves people around the country. Come on, absolute lunatics,
all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight

(42:28):
seven four. So I mentioned, let me just kind of
deviate here for a moment. So I mentioned there.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Was a little.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Issue, a little issue with Kroger over the Juneteenth holiday,
and apparently it has to do with cakes.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
This is on board, who to hear.

Speaker 8 (42:48):
Made these?

Speaker 7 (42:49):
Goodly ass? I wish it was a manager here because
y'all decorate everything else around here. Quting is right here, cute,
but for juneting, you want to just throw something on.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
A freaking cicky cake.

Speaker 7 (43:07):
And expect someone to buy it.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
That's all.

Speaker 7 (43:12):
I'm gonna be here right early in the morning to
talk to some mead about least because this is unacceptable.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
All right now.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
I don't know if her beef is just the quality
of the decoration. Maybe hers is. But what it is
is it's it's June teeh cakes at Kroger. Okay, it's
cakes surrounding the holiday that's happening. And you know, and
it says stuff like free at last and other.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Now am I buying those cakes? Probably did?

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Is that a little weird? Yeah, but it's also weird
when and I and this is this is the advice
that I would have for people who are upset with
that are quote unquote outrage outrage. As soon as you're
outraged over Memorial Day mattress sales, I'll listen to you. Okay,

(44:10):
as soon as you're outraged over oh it's Memorial Day,
come down and get to forget a bogo at the
dollar whatever store, then I'll listen to you. But the
fact that your outrage is because it is in foulwell,
it's Juneteenth. It's the end of slavery, which it's not,

(44:31):
but it kind of is. But you know whatever, shut up,
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
I have no bay.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
If you are intellectually consistent, I'll be like, all right,
I understand what you're upset, but none of you are.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
For the most part. You just I'll look at that.
I get a discount because all those soldiers died. Yay me.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
The commercial part of part of what happens in the
capitalist society is people commercialize things.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
It's it's just it's just part of the deal man, right.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
The commercialization of that, the commercialization of Easter and Christmas.
If you're a Christian. Hell, most Christians embrace it, right.
Christmas is there's a duality to Christmas. You have the
you have the religious side of it, right, but then
you also have the commercialized side of it as you

(45:35):
as you stuffed your kids stockings full of crap.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
So yeah, I've.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Outraged over a cake at Kroger that nobody's forcing me
to buy because it says free at last, welcome. That's
how you know you've made it as a holiday, you
know what I mean? Now you're officially a holiday. That's
like the last gate man, did somebody commercialize your thing
away from what the intended original message was? Congratulations? You're
a US holiday ross. Are there any holidays we don't commercialize?

(46:06):
I was trying to think of this. Are there any
holidays we don't commercialize in the United States?

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Because clearly the high holies we do.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
I feel like that every holiday has a certain commercialization
to it.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Why should June teenths be different? Yeah? I can't. I
can't think of a one anyway.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Seven twenty, you're on the CaCO Day radio program.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
All right, we've got lots more audio.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
We got the Vice president doing his thing, well, we
got Pete Hegseeth doing his thing. We got President net
Yahoo doing his thing, all commenting on the raid there
in Iran where the Iranians didn't.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Even know we were there.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
You got snuck attacked by Missouri. These dudes had to fly.
You had half the earth to clock him on the radar,
and you you didn't. So we'll hear what all you
guys have to say. And of course President Trump, who
kind of let me down.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
And I'll explain why coming up here on the kc
O Day radio program. So, unless you were living under
rock or on vacation or whatever, you know, last week
we did a well I did Ross, you know, is
home base there and it was up in Ashville, and
we did a week long broadcast.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I gotta tell you, man, I really enjoyed it. Enjoyed.
I enjoyed meeting a bunch of very cool people.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Love getting to know our sponsor there out from Cambria
and uh Hotel and the Cuban restaurant Hemingway's. By the way, Ross,
I asked him if Hemingway ever went up to Ashville. So,
I'm like, yeah, i'd be because the list of people,
famous people in the turn of the century that you know,

(47:56):
spent like and you hear this, if you ever go
to bill More, they'll talk about how yeah, they'd just
be like, yeah, so and so decided to come up
to Biltmore for three months. Like if you owned a
house like that, you just you had guests stop by
and they would just stay for like three months at
a time. But also they had the flexibility to do that.

(48:19):
So that was kind of interesting. So I asked him,
I'm like, did he ever come did he ever come
up to Ashville? And he came near Ashville? Do you
know who Carl Ross? Do you know Carl Sandberg is
or was I should say the poet, big time American poet,
biographer all that. Apparently him and Hemingway were drinking buddies,

(48:40):
and so Hemingway shockingly came up and then they just
were like drunk for six months. But it wasn't in Asheville.
It was I think it was over by Black Mountain
or something so that. But it is interesting how many
Hemingway stories have liquor involved. But yeah, you just go up,
you just hang up out in the mountains for six months.

(49:01):
My point is I shouldn't have left because it was
nice and cool up there, and then I almost melted
when I got down to Wilkesboro.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
Holy crap, is it hot.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
I'm assuming Ross you didn't leave your house all weekend, right,
because that had to just be miserable.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Man. I ran some.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
Arians and went to the gym, but pretty much like
stayed inside because it's stupid.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Yeah, and it's gonna be stupid. By the way, it's
gonna continue to be stupid. And uh, mister Cordyon man
race stage, it could be along in about ten minutes
to tell you how stupid. So uh, anyway, No, but
really enjoy getting to know Alex Frogus is the guy's name,
super nice guy. And so that was great. Some good
folks for the tourism department there.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
And I will tell you, look Asheville gonna Ashville.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
Okay, it is what it is, and it is what
was really funny to me because yesterday I decided, all right,
I'm gonna get up. I'm gonna, you know, get myself
a little little breakfast back all my crap, and then
I'm gonna slow roll it to the Triad because I'm
broadcasting in the Greensboro studios today through Wednesday, and I'm

(50:04):
gonna I'm gonna see what's open what's not because there's
little sections of the Parkway that are closed. There may
be some other stuff. I didn't know what to expect.
I was, you know, I was touring the area around
Ashville and then points westward, but I hadn't really headed north,
and so my goal was to drive from Ashville to

(50:30):
Blowing Rock, either on the Parkway or on you know,
like the the Boone Highway. What is that two twenty
one and then nineteen is the other one? Those you know,
those adjacent roads. They're recognizing there was closures. Now if
you leave Ashville and a lot of people the way
they get on the Parkway. Well, there's two ways you
can go. Tunnel Road, like you're going to Black Mountain,

(50:53):
about ten miles you hit the Parkway, you jump on,
or the way I do it if I'm ever in
Ashville or coming to or from is a road called
Town Mountain Road, and it goes by the Western and
the Governor's Western Residence, which, by the way, ross theos
Stin left the gate open. That means he wants me
to drive in and have brunch with him. Right, if

(51:14):
he left the gate open to the Governor's mansion, I
assume that's what it means, So next time I'll do that. Yeah,
the gate was open. I guess that's not very good security.
And the irony, of course is there's razor wire and
twenty foot fences and like crazy crazy fencing there, and
the guy just vetoed a bill to keep you safe

(51:36):
from people coming illegally here. Yeah, what a scoundrel man.
Oh I hate these people anyway. So but if you
go to where Town Mountain connects the apartment, that part's
closed up until a little south of Little Switzerland.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
So if you want to go, you got to you gotta.
It'd be about ten minute.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
I guess you got to go basically on the high
way up to Spruce Pine and then get on there.
So if you're thinking of going out there, just understand
that that'll because you can do it.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
You could because you can.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Go highway speeds that way, but it'll probably add fifteen
twenty minutes to the same distance you're going to cover.
But once you get past that, you're cooking with gas man.
Lynnville Falls is open now. Mount Mitchell is not open.
Although you can backtrack back to Little Switzerland and Mount
Mitchell on the parkway. You just can't go up Mount Mitchell.
And it's not closed because of the storm. It's closed

(52:29):
because of ice from the winter, which I thought was
kind of interesting because everything else that's closed is closed
because of Heleene.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
But no, that's a different thing. So you could do that.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
But then if you you know, Grandfather was crazy busy,
because that's right. I ended up getting back on. I
got off in Lynnville there and then got back on.
You get a drive by Grandfather there and they had
like a big music festival or something, and the whole
road around. I thought there was an accident or something
like getting on the parkway because the traffic was back.
Now it was just a lot of people out there

(53:02):
having a great time.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
So that's open. Linnville Falls was open.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Took that little walk the uh I was wondering at
the viaduct there at Lynn Cove on the parkway had
any problems because you.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Know the amount of water that was running. Now that
thing's fine, it's good.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
And then uh, you know, further north, eventually I get
into Blowing Rock and there's no parking anywhere, and I'm like, well,
blowing rocks, blowing rock, So here you go. That's pretty
typical on the weekend. Uh tweets see the entire How
full was it when you went to tweets e Ross
was a parking lot pretty full or it was opening days,
so okay, it's well, let me just tell you. The

(53:43):
parking lot looked all all full. People were having people
were having a big time over there. So so that
was although there was something weird. So told you about
Blowing Rock, told you about tweets See. If you want
to go to the Children's Screams Factory, you can, but

(54:03):
there's a lot of people there. So then I keep
going on three twenty one or whatever it is, and
then I'm in Boone and I didn't use the bypassing Boone.
I went into Boone because I wanted to stop. They
have a store there that sells all these olive oils
and stuff.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Which is top knot stuff.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
And so I drove and I'm by the university and
the oil stores. I had a main street downtown almost
once you're all the way through, and went down there,
got what I wanted, went back.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
And I noticed something. Not a big beer in sight
in the whole city. Nothing. I checked the hillside.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
I look behind where it normally is there in the
photo that somebody posted.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
One of our listeners posts. Nothing. Explain that to me?
How does that work? Is it like chick?

Speaker 1 (55:00):
It doesn't work on Sundays? What's going on with that?
No big beers?

Speaker 2 (55:05):
So weird?

Speaker 1 (55:07):
What are you doing in there? Russ is ignoring me. No,
I don't blame him. Didn't see a big beer, so
it just be warm. Maybe it doesn't work on Sundays,
I don't know. But other than that, I had a
great time up there, man, And yeah, I even do.
I even came upon a drum circle, like I said

(55:27):
in Ashville.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Which was entirely predictable. Oh, here was the final point.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
I was gonna leave you with the amount of signs
not just at the governor's mansion, but the amount of signs,
the amount of signs that are all over every piece
of property in and around the city of Asheville to
say no trespassing private property. When if you took a

(55:53):
pole in the middle of that city as to whether
there should be borders or not, they would say no.
Probably and theory. I did find that a little amusing.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
People.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
People are driving around in cars, no human is illegal,
and then they park their car and lock it.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Like which is it? I don't know, pick one?

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Uh anyway, all right, we'll we'll well, we'll dive headlong
into the audio here in the moment, is mister stage
a ready wit?

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Is it right? Is Ray with yesterday? Oh? Okay?

Speaker 3 (56:24):
I thought you said you weren't going to be here
next week? Is that just Friday, Monday, Tuesday? I'll be here,
So I'm off Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Where you going someplace fun?

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Or it's the annual in laws trip to the beach.
This year I'll be making and having made it the
last couple of years. Uh Hilton Head this year? Oh wow,
I love Hill dude. Yeah, just you just you just
pulled up to flex on everyone or what we're richie
rich Ah, but do you.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Stay in one wing of the estate and the in
laws state the other wing of the estates or how
does one of those that's your own estates?

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
It's one of the family annual traditions that no matter
what they make.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
It happen. So ah got Yeah, you know, I'm good.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
For them because the kids go and my wife and
her sister, and they've been doing this since these kids
since they were infants, since they were small. They haven't
missed a year. It's pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Yeah, you know, burst into flames of course that's two
year fold.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
So shark a lot of shark sightings.

Speaker 9 (57:27):
One.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Yes, I had the weirdest thing so yesterday, so you know,
I was in Asheville broadcasting all last week. Then I
drove up the Parkway and then eventually shot down into
the Triadom in my Greensboro studio today when I came
off that mountain and Boone actually just north of Boom
Blowing Rock from Blowing Rock to Wilkesboro, which is I
don't know if you know, the geography is not that far.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
It's like thirty miles.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
It was twenty five degrees difference, and somehow it was
five degrees warmer in Wilkesboro then in High Point Greensboro.
I don't know what you guys are doing up there,
but it ain't right there, it is. It ain't right, man.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
There are all kinds of when you get into mountains
and valleys, and you know, if it's not just plain
flat like the plains, there's all kinds of microclimates. So
you know, that's probably what was happening there. The Pedmon, Yeah,
that Pedmont, the sandhills, right and more that the next
several days heat. The heat hasn't even peaked yet, so

(58:28):
if you thought yesterday was warm, tomorrow looks like we'll peak.
Could be some record warm for the Triangle Triad. Maybe
not so much because I think we talked about it
last week, as the records are over one hundred for
the Triad in nineteen fourteen for this week, but the
Triangle is a little bit lower. One hundred today, ninety

(58:50):
nine tomorrow, one hundred on Wednesday, today's highs are one
hundred and one oh two and then ninety eight for
the Triangle, So it might be like ninety six to
ninety eight for the triad heat advisories and an extreme
heat watch for tomorrow. So the heat index of what
it's actually going to feel like maybe one oh five
to maybe as hot as one ten. Again, that may

(59:10):
be tomorrow, and it doesn't get much hotter than that.
When you're talking about this part of the country and
having a heat index at one ten, pretty stifling stuff. Slowly,
we may see thee heat back off a little bit
as we go through the week, as we'll be in
the midnupper nineties Wednesday, a little bit nineties Thursday Friday,
with the rain chances going up, so a little bit

(59:32):
of a rain chance midweek, not going to be much
and it looks like it's going to stay stifling warm
here over the next couple of days. Not really any
big relief coming in. When I say relief, it might
be like ninety to ninety five instead of ninety five
to one hundred.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
So, oh sir, welcome, thank you for that. Yeah, no problem.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Okay, all right, well, well we'll talk to you one
more time, well actually three more times once in an hour. Okay,
there you raced agic from the Weather Channel. All right,
seven forty seven. We'll get to the audio. Also, I'll
look at this. The founder of FedEx is all right,
well hang on, we got we got a bunch of
little stories for you coming up here. On the CaCO

(01:00:14):
Day radio program. I saw this, Uh, the founder of
FedEx died, Fred Smith. There's a thing from Brett Barr.
He says, I'm so sad to hear the FedEx founder,
Fred Smith has died. Of this great man, always generous
with his time, blah blah blah blah blah, love this
country deeply, and he cared. Although he did abandon his

(01:00:36):
employee to die on an island for like seven years.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
So there's that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Was that, right, Ross? That was FedEx, right that Tom
Hanks worked for in Survivor or Castaway or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Yeah, it was FedEx, FedEx or u PS, I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
No, it was FedEx because they're based out of a
Tennessee there. So yeah, so he didn't really obviously abandon
his person to.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
Die on an island that wasn't real.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
And Rossell also told me that there's an adrenochrome connection,
which I had never heard.

Speaker 4 (01:01:05):
Oh yeah, I mean there's a conspiracy. Remember Wilson the volleyball, Remember.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
That, right, Yeah, I knew that with the bloody hand
thing down there.

Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
Yeah, and the face he drew on. I remember, like
the apparently that's like somehow related to the Adrenochrome cult
or whatever, where it's like a symbol and they put
that on. They say they put that on the volleyball
as like a subconscious message as to who's really in charge.
It's like the devil worshippers of Hollywood or something, so

(01:01:34):
Baltasar or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Okay, all right, sure, why not, why not let's just
throw that in there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
It's some sort of demon.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Well, no, I know the demon they're referring to. I've
seen enough conspiracies where they talk about how it's kind
of it keeps showing up in places now, a lot
of it. You really have to squinch your Remember those
posters when we were kids where you had to the
three D posters. We kind of had to figure out
how to get your eyes correct to see him. I
see a lot of that. By the way, what happened

(01:02:03):
to those?

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Have you ever had ross? When's the last time you
saw one of those three D posters?

Speaker 8 (01:02:08):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
I hated those things. I was, Oh, that was like
that was a huge thing in the nineties for sure.
Even Yeah, oh those things were everywhere.

Speaker 6 (01:02:15):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
We made a Seinfeld episode about it because mister Pitt
couldn't see the photo.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
He was like, he just yeah, my sister couldn't see.
He couldn't see. We used to make fun of her. No,
I couldn't see him either, Like I could not. We
would have made fun of you. Yeah, could not get
it to work. It's strange, man.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Yeah, it was weird how some people just couldn't see
the things. But yeah, those were every I had like
two of them, like, yeah, because that was in the day.
Do kids do posters nowadays? It's not like when we
were kids. I mean, I'm assuming you always had some posters, right, of.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
Course I did. Yeah, Lincoln does. He's got a bunch
of fall up posters and video game posters and stuff
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yeah, okay, all right, that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
That was That was That was one of my favorite
parts about being a kid because when we go up
to Walmart in Sheridan, which we didn't get up there
very often, but when we did, and one of the
end caps they had, you know, it looks like a
big book right where you flip the pages of the posters,
and they had like this giant end cap up there
for and they had and this is going to irritate somebody,

(01:03:18):
they had one for boys, and then they had one
for girls, right, and so you got to make sure
you look at the right one. And they had all
the posters. Man that was fall back through the posters.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Yeah, my mom would go buy stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
I'd be still sitting there looking at the posters if
she said I could get one.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Oh, it was. That was the best. And glad to
have you. Long hour number three.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Uh, And if I if I sound weird, I have
moved from of course last week in Asheville doing a
week there, and now I'm at our Greensboro studios, and
Ross and I both think the mic sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Different, so that's what's up. Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
But as Ray pointed out, it's to be a few
degrees cooler here in the I had so still winning,
so let's not saying much this boy. It was miserable
when I got off that mountain yesterday, all right, So uh,
A lot of folks obviously holding press conferences.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Following what happened there, and I ran.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Here is here is literally as it's happening as you know,
people are trying to watch sports in ESPN is having
to scene set what's going on.

Speaker 10 (01:04:27):
President Donald Trump will address the nation to at a
ten o'clock Eastern time regarding the attack on I ran
earlier today. ABC News will have live coverage. He has
said to the court, we have completed our very successful
attack on three nuclear sites, and I ran all plans
in that outside. If I want airspace again, much more.
Ten o'clock Eastern time, ABC News for a live coverage

(01:04:49):
of President Trump's news conference.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
All right, so, and I don't know, Ross, did you watch,
I know you dubbed an audio. Did you watch the
entirety of his press conference when he greed that with
the two times he greased those Iranian guys, including the
general where.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
He's like, god, he died like a dog. He was crying.

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
No, It's absolutely hilarious. And they showed it side by
side with Obama's.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
You know, yeah, Shane Gillis does a whole bit about
it too.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
So when Donald Trump's like, I'm having a press conference
at ten, I'm here for it because I'm like it's
I'm like over under, I'm on Twitter, I'm like over
under on him saying somebody died like a dog, right,
and that's even that was almost even money.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Yeah, he didn't say it, but he got really close.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
The problem was the whole press conference was like four
minutes long. I got cheated, man, I wanted to hear
Donald Trump. Is only Donald Trump can.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Explain it about.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
You know what he watched in the situation room his
own little I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
I'm just say, embellishment's probably wrong. Don't worry. I mean,
don't get me wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
He does like to embellish, but like I don't know,
just the lens through he's like, oh, you could see
the guy looking up and he mouthed, no bleeping, he
bleep right or so whatever the garnish he adds the
garnish to the story, and unfortunately not so much, although.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
He did say he did say this, and it was.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Funny because I saw a bunch of people who are
are like militant atheists who were upset that he said
it because they think they're like, he doesn't believe in God,
and I'm like, you have like f God as a
bumper stick or who shut up God?

Speaker 11 (01:06:37):
I want to just say we love you God, and
we love our great military protect them. God bless the
Middle East, God bless Israel, and God bless America.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
All right, So then people like you, oh, he doesn't
believe in God. I don't know. I think I think
when you get shot and your head almost exploded, that
it may maybe that does something to you. Ross Do
you think Trump is more religious because of that?

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
Uh? Or completely? A little bit?

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
Yeah, And I think it's given him more of a
sense of purpose, like you know, I was scared for
a reason.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
And you know it's funny too because you say it
like that, and I agree that it should be said
like that. But I've heard people go, you know, it's
when he almost got shot and then he didn't die.
Now he thinks he's invincible, and I'm like, or he went,
oh my gosh, I almost died. If i'd have turned
my if I didn't turn my head to literally look
at a graphic, I would I would have looked like

(01:07:40):
front row.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
At a Gallagher show.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
That's amazing that that that one thing, and then you
start in your head thinking about it, like if you've
ever been to bad I've been in a really bad
car accident. I got literally thrown from the vehicle. You
start thinking about stuff, man, cause you're looking. I'm looking
at this trystan, this twisted heap that was my friend
Z seventy one Chevy pickup that just got folded when

(01:08:06):
it rolled and it crushed over the passenger side where
I was sitting in the roll because it hit this
fence post.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
When it rolled. We we were out.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
We were out spotlight and coyotes, and we come around
the corner and it's it's right around Christmas, like two
days before Christmas, and there's the you know, Wyoming they
just they graved the roads. They don't salt the roads.
Buses on the dirt road, so it's just packed. Ice
were driving on and we come around the corner. It
was like fifty deers standing there and it was really bad.
And then I realized like it wasn't. We were at

(01:08:41):
a high speed, but I was was. I had a
rifle rested on the window, okay, and I'm like in
the shooting position getting ready because when we were coming
around this corner, there happened. We is where we had
a bunch of calves in this field, and I just
assume right when we come around the corner and we

(01:09:03):
got the spot there's a third person running the spotlight.
My buddy's driving, and we're gonna, you know, we're gonna
see maybe some coyotes.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
I gotta be ready to shoot. And I realize if.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
It hadn't thrown me out of the window, I'd have
probably gotten.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
A bunch more messed up or killed.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Right, And you start thinking about all this stuff, And
I don't care what you think of Trump. How a
loo for evil you think he is. I don't care
who you are. You almost die, some thoughts going through
your head. So yeah, maybe he is imbued with a
new sense of purpose. Like Ross says, what's.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Wrong with that?

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
But we didn't get the press conference that I thought
we were gonna get. So but but hey, the other
ones were great. Here is net Yahoo right after.

Speaker 6 (01:09:50):
Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Heron's nuclear
facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United
States will change history. In Operation Rising Line, Israel has
done truly amazing things, But in Tonight's action against Iran's
nuclear facilities, America has been truly unsurpassed. It has done

(01:10:16):
what no other country on Earth could do. History will
record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most
dangerous regime, the world's most dangerous weapons. His leadership today
has created a pivot of history that can help lead
the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity

(01:10:38):
and peace. President Trump and I often say peace through strength.
First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight President Trump
and the United States acted with a lot of strength.

Speaker 10 (01:10:55):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
You know, and I think people they hear that term
peace through strength and they fail to recognize.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
But I think that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
And by the way, here's the thing. I still am
uncomfortable even with those precision strikes. However, I recognize that
I'm also not privy to all the information. And I
hope that the peace through strength, which requires a show
of strength, that that's it, and they go, ain't worth it,

(01:11:24):
Ain't worth it. I don't know that I ran smart
enough to do that, but this, you have to have
the strength before you have the peace.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
That's how it works. That's why, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Why we had fundamentally changing relationships with a lot of
countries that weren't fans of America right after World War Two.
Ross do you want to guess what made those countries
want to ally with the US, who normally wanted nothing
to do with us. Perhaps maybe something towards the end
of World War two that by the way, Hey yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
Sure, I would say, I don't know, as a vaporizing
two cities.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Yeah, people want to be your friends after that. And
while it's self serving, perhaps if it keeps the peace,
who cares? So there's that, Okay, dude, that's so funny.
I was gonna go do. I was gonna do that
story here right after eight thirty if you guys didn't

(01:12:23):
see what the La County Sheriff's Department did. So looks
like that didn't go well for him. They sent out
a tweet that's insane. We'll get to that at eight
thirty five. But now they've sent out an apology. But
geez man, watching people try to justify that was just

(01:12:44):
mental gymnastics of the highest order. All right, So nett
yea who did his thing. Trump had a little four
minute speech there, heg Seth. I thought his was informative.
It was good, and frankly, I think it's kind of
maybe Trump just kind of because this is the kind
of language you would expect Trump to use. And hag

(01:13:04):
Seth and jd Vance, I think we're on point here's
heg Seth.

Speaker 9 (01:13:08):
The scope and scale of what occurred last night would
take the breath away of almost any American if you
had an opportunity to watch it in real time. And
I think Tran is certainly calculating the reality that planes
flew from the middle of America and Missouri overnight completely
undetected over three of their most highly sensitive sites, and
we were able to destroy nuclear capabilities, and our boys

(01:13:32):
in those bombers are on their way home right now.
We believe that'll have a clear psychological impact on how
they view the future, and we certainly hope they take
the path of negotiated peace.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
By the way, I don't know if you heard what
he said there, but that caused absolute case of the
vapors over at the New York Times.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
That part reset our boys.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Yes, because of all the news surrounding all of the
things having to do with Iran, and the impressive nature
of flying literally halfway across the world undetected, launching sixteen
of the largest non nuclear munitions that exist on this

(01:14:24):
planet that only we have, and decimating something that sits
under one hundred feet of concrete if you hit it
enough times, which they clearly six will get you there
bigger than the moab. This thing called the mop, which
is thirty thousand pounds. The thing is twenty feet long,

(01:14:48):
and they drop six into the hole, into the hole,
into the hole, and there is deeper, deeper, deeper. And
the thing that the New York Times was most upset
about is that he used the term boys, our boys.

(01:15:08):
Oh yeah, our boys. That they had to literally put
a think piece.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Out on it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
You know, women are also to have been trained to
fly those particular bombers. Okay, maybe the pilots talked to
the president before ross over Under on Trump chatting with
the some of the military folks before this, and maybe
even the actual pilots saying hey, here's what we're asking

(01:15:36):
you to do because of how important this thing was.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Yeah, I think there's a pretty good chance. And I think,
you know, nobody cares that. They they said boys, nobody cares.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Well, no that's not true.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
The New York Times cares. So just nobody else. H Yeah,
it's just super annoying, man, super annoying.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
So yeah, yeah, I think Hegschatz.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Other than the New York Times trying to cook him
over that, I think his speech was good.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Advance was great. Man.

Speaker 12 (01:16:06):
We've said to the Iranians is we do not want
war with Iran and we actually want.

Speaker 8 (01:16:10):
Peace, but we want peace.

Speaker 12 (01:16:12):
In the context of them not having a nuclear weapons program.
And that's exactly what the President accomplished last night. I
really think there are two big questions.

Speaker 8 (01:16:20):
For the Iranians here.

Speaker 12 (01:16:22):
Are they going to attack American troops or are they
going to continue with their nuclear weapons program?

Speaker 8 (01:16:27):
And if they leave American troops.

Speaker 12 (01:16:29):
Out of it, and they decide to give up their
nuclear weapons program once and for all, then I think
the President has been very clear we can have a
good relationship with the Iranians, we can have a peaceful situation.

Speaker 8 (01:16:40):
In that region of the world.

Speaker 12 (01:16:42):
We have to step back a little bit, Kristin and
remind ourselves that we negotiated aggressively with the Iranians to
try to find a peaceful settlement to this conflict.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
I mean Christian.

Speaker 12 (01:16:51):
When the President decided that the Iranians were not negotiating
in good.

Speaker 8 (01:16:55):
Faith, that he took this action. He didn't take it lightly,
but I.

Speaker 12 (01:16:58):
Actually think it provides an opportunit unity to reset this relationship,
reset these negotiations, and get us in a place where
I Ran can decide not to be a threat to
its neighbors, not to be a threat.

Speaker 8 (01:17:10):
To the United States.

Speaker 12 (01:17:11):
And if they're willing to do that, the United States
is all ears.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
And here's the thing too, It's like, do you ross
do you remember the footage of I'm trying to think
of there's a couple videos of the old school news anchors,
black and white footage who are doing the play by
play of the moon landing right and there, and everyone's
just like, this is amazing, right, And you didn't have

(01:17:40):
this necessity to go out and figure out how you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Can get them right? You got and and yet every.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
Turn and twist here is is that again, you don't
have to think that it was You don't have to
agree that it was necessarily the correct thing to go
and precision strike Iran because you think you in your
in your heart of hearts, you think that it's going
to escalate. I'm telling you that's where I think there's

(01:18:08):
a lot of people there. But you have to respect
the how well they did it right, and and then
you have to be prepared to roll with it because
we're all in this together.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
Man, this is it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
And and there's this This rooting against is just absolute insanity.

Speaker 12 (01:18:26):
Say something, Christen, just to the Iranian leadership. Look, they
have tried to build a nuclear weapons program.

Speaker 8 (01:18:32):
That program is now destroyed.

Speaker 12 (01:18:34):
They tried to build a conventional missile program to attack
neighbors in the region. That missile program has shown to
be a failure. They have funded terrorism aggressively in the region,
and now most of their terrorism proxies are destroyed. The
Iranians are clearly not very good at war. Perhaps they
should follow President Trump's lead and give piece a chance

(01:18:54):
if they're serious about it. I guarantee you the president
of the United.

Speaker 8 (01:18:57):
States is too.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
I feel like that's the thing that's gonna stick in
the eye Atola's craw.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
You guys really suck at this man.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
But I mean, you didn't even see you didn't see
our massive missile sixteen of them.

Speaker 4 (01:19:09):
Advance is so good advances, there's no way. I don't
how can he not be the next president? I mean,
he's gonna he's so good, he's so.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Trump's gonna declare himself president for life. And you remember
when he was.

Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
Gonna have that, uh, the the debate with Kamala Harris
and or who was it or with Tim Walls. Yeah,
they were like, oh, Jazz Han's gonna show him. Yeah,
Colonel Jasns or whatever it is, General Ja. It's like,
doesn't stand a chance, you do not stand at it.
He's so good, no, no, yeah, and he handles Welker like,

(01:19:42):
I mean, that's how you do it, man.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Yeah, all of them. It's no issue for him. So yeah,
I know it's uh.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
If they're gonna have to, they're gonna have to. They're
gonna have to find some serious skeletons. Man, I guess
I don't know. All right, all right, we'll take a break.
Coming back, I'm introduced you to the worst person in
the world. We got something else from New York Times.
And what are the sheriffs in La up to? That's
next on the.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
CaCO Day radio program Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
When I got up, I kicked a cable under the
I was having to fix that side.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
What broke nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
I literally kicked the cable out that connects my headphones
to the jack that it's in and I thought and
I thought I had literally disconnected with you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
I was freaking out, So.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
That one's on me. It didn't just explode like you know.
The Iran Uh News news agency there. So all right,
couple things.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Get over this.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
So the La Los Angeles Sheriff's Department put out just
an awful tweet following the following the strike there, and
I ran, I want to read it to you, and
we posted an update two and I'll share that with
you here in just a moment. But it's like, what

(01:20:59):
a what are we doing here? So all right, So
here's what they tweet. He said, our hearts. This is
from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
Official official account.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
All right, it says, our hearts go out to the
victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran. Well,
this tragic event now, and I would point this out,
and it's probably not wrong. There's a lot of Iranians
that live in LA. I think it's where the largest
concentration of Iranians who are Iranian Americans or whatever live

(01:21:36):
is Los Angeles. That being said, this is there's no
I have no use for this. While the tragic event
occurred overseas, the LA County Sheriff's Department is closely monitoring
the situation alongside our local, state, and federal partners. There's
no current threats and this is what they should have tweeted,

(01:21:58):
right because are there is there going to be backlash?
That's fair for the Sheriff's Department to be wondering about
but offering condolences. No, and and let's just say it
was not received well by by by the internets. People
flipped out, is the rightfully? Should the hell are you doing?
Can you imagine? Can you imagine we just got done

(01:22:21):
bombing Dresden? And they're like, our condolences for any of
our German friends that were the hell or are you
know post Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
No, whose team are you on? Man? Well?

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
They they edited it first, then they deleted it, and
then now Ross saw this, you just retweeted this. The
update it says we are issuing this statement to formally
apologize for an offensive and inappropriate social media posts posted
on the official platforms regarding the ongoing conflict, and I

(01:23:00):
ran the post was unacceptable, made in air, and does
not reflect the views of Sheriff Robert Luna or the department.
As a law enforcement agency. We do not comment on
foreign policy or military matters. We recognize the words and
messages we have Carrie Waite blah blah blah. We're committed

(01:23:20):
to learning from this failure. So, by the way, that
means nobody probably got in trouble. But we have updated
our social media and have launched an internal review to
determine how it is created and published. How many people?
This is the s part I don't understand. Let's say
that somebody. Let's say that on the official CACODA radio program,

(01:23:43):
somebody wrote I don't know death to whatever and yeah,
and I didn't write it. Then I know Ross wrote it. Okay,
I think you and I I don't even do for
the show account. I don't even know if corporate has
our login for the Twitter are probably not because they're

(01:24:03):
the show one is a separate one that I created.
I don't know, like how many, how many? How many
people have access to the department's social media login. I'm
sure it's not everyone that carries that's got a badge there.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
Yeah, I mean the problem with this and you see
these numerus, you know with other companies in the past
with different sort of social you know, justice stuff is
a lot time.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
It's not the.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
Organization, it's the young kid that they plucked out of
college to run the accract.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
Yeah, I don't think the sheriff posted it right, because
at the end of the day, he's also a politician, Like,
so he's got it, you know, he's a politician. So no,
you're absolutely right. Somebody, So what do you have? Maybe
ten people it's La California's they're probably overstaffed with because
it's government workers. Twenty what do you have twenty people
with logins? You can't get everyone on a zoom call

(01:24:54):
and go who did it? And by the way, correct
me if I'm wrong. We can see who posted?

Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
Am I wrong about that? On the social media? Uh
can't you?

Speaker 4 (01:25:07):
I don't know if I can see whether. Obviously, when
I see something I know I didn't post, I'm like
Casey posted that, but I don't think there's a way
for us to see it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
No, no, no, no, no no no no no not I said,
So I'm sorry on on on the if because they
posted this to their website too. So if I put
make a blog post right right, it'll say your name, Yeah,
it'll say who did You won't see it, you guys
won't see it, but we can see it in the admin,
so like.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
You should you should know.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
So now I think now, I don't believe you, because
I think that it's impossible that you don't know who
posted this, because they posted it on Instagram, on Twitter,
on TikTok, on their main web page, like.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
You know who did it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
But you say, well, there's an investigation because you want
to buy time, because you want people to forget about
it and move on and think about other things.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
So it's just it's just scumbaggery all around. What are
you gonna do? H Right here we go?

Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
You wanna, hey, you wanna you wanna You want to
meet the worst person in the world, or at least
buying for top yeah, top three? Maybe this guy right here,
this guy right here. This is from CBS New York
two years ago, and New Yorker calls himself Streeter. Left

(01:26:27):
his job in marketing become a soldier in the War
on idling.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
In New York City, it's against the law for trucks
and non city buses, so you know, everybody basically to
keep your engine running while stationary for more than three minutes. However,
the law is rarely enforced, so the city incentivized under
a Citizens Air Complaint program where people who report idling

(01:27:00):
vehicles keep twenty five percent of any fines issued. The finds,
by the way, run from three hundred and fifty to
six hundred dollars. So what does this a hole do
for a living. He goes out early in the morning,
especially early in the morning in the winter, finds people
idling their vehicles, jumps on the phone to non emergency,

(01:27:24):
gets the NYPD out there. They issue a ticket. This
guy gets a cut.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
That's his whole job is a tattle He's a professional
tattle tale. And also, look, it's it's not just people
idling their cars, but you know that time of the morning,
there's a lot of guys. That's right, I said guys,
because it is mostly guys. Let's just be honest that
you know, drive truck into New York City. They come

(01:27:51):
very early in the morning before it gets really congested
in there, and they're making a crap ton of deliveries, right.
You know, they drive for some of the food company
especialty food companies. Maybe they're liquor distributors. Uh, maybe they're
delivering tablecloths. You know, they do the laundry stuff and
bring it back. And this guy about these guys, you know,

(01:28:11):
goes and finds these guys they're just trying to do
their damn job to keep his city working. Who may
run in and spend more than three minutes hauling something
into and placing it at a business and they come
out and this absolute Karen is standing there with the
cops so that they could write a five hundred dollars ticket,
so he gets twenty five percent of it. What an

(01:28:34):
awful human being, I mean, yeah, okay, thank you. I'm
like top three worst persons.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
What a dumb law, though, What a dumb stupid law?

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
Like, what do you Minneapolis miniap? When I lived in Minneapolis,
they created a no idling law. I don't know if
you I don't know if you've ever seen what Minneapolis
looks like in February.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's so cool.

Speaker 4 (01:28:55):
Yeah, they do what they expect you to stop your
car and just restart it every single time.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Yeah, that's nuts, especially if you're driving a diesel truck.
That's just dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
But also if you're trying to get if you're trying
to get it just warm enough so that you can
actually get your wind show clear. This guy's waiting around
the corner so he can get you a ticket. I'm
surprised nobody's beat him to I'm not saying you should
do it. I'm just surprised that some guy has just
had it up to here like Michael Douglas and falling
down right. This day's gonna get a five hundred dollars ticket,

(01:29:26):
and he's just trying to do his job, which he
is probably making barely ends meet because he lives in
New York. And this guy's out there getting him a
five hundred dollars fine so he can get one hundred
bucks of that in his pocket, or no, one hundred
and twenty five of that in his pocket.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
You know, I have people who ask me he makes
six figures. By the way, I just want you to
know this.

Speaker 4 (01:29:44):
I have people that ask me, you know, people from
back home up in New York, and they're like, when
are you moving back to New York? And I'm like never.
And this is the sort of reason why it's so dumb.
And I mean, yeah, he's an awful human being, but
the people that made this a law, right and the
people voting for those people, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
Yeah, well, yeah, you know, you're absolutely right, You're absolutely right,
But you notice that they never really enforced it because
I think even they realized it was for showed if
the environmentalists would be happy. This guy just bit into it,
and again he's making six figures tattle tailing on people.
Absolutely incredible, all right, eight forty five race stagic from

(01:30:23):
the Weather Channel. This guy, so in New York you
can't idle your vehicle for more than three minutes. This guy,
his whole career is running around finding idling vehicles early
in the morning, like delivery trucks, calling the police, and
any fines issued he gets twenty five percent.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
That's one of the most evil people on the planet
at this moment. Well, is it his fault?

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
He needs a job, right, he wanted to job.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
No, no, I need a job. Well, what's the job?
I don't know, executing puppies? All right, I guess I'm
executing puppies for no reason.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
I wonder what the average fine is and how much
he's actually raking in a year. I'd imagine quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
He's making six figures. The fine is three hundred and
fifty to six hundred dollars. He gets twenty five percent.

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
Of it under the log so he gets an average four.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
It's five hundred twenty five bucks for two minutes work
almost Wow, that's not big.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
Have a job, Hey, Ross, you want to side hustle?
Is a kitten kicker? You want to you wanna pay?

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
Is good? You want to kick some kittens? I mean,
I'm just saying, no, you don't do it, okay, Saw, Sorry, man,
I don't know. That guy makes me angry. I got
a great guy.

Speaker 4 (01:31:37):
I got a great job as a nutpuncher, and I
make oh no, what no walnuts?

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Or yeah, yeah, yep, that kind Oh craplock. You got
thirty seconds to tortures? Go ahead, all right, Well we're
gonna get tortured extreme. He watched tomorrow for the Triangle. Uh,
just about everybody's under the heat advisory today between ninety
five and one hundred heat indext one hundred to maybe
one Tomorrow the hottest day temperatures between I'd say ninety

(01:32:04):
six and one oh two could have some records for
the Triangle with the heated exit. Some spots could approach
one to ten and then will slowly try to back
it off a little bit by Wednesday, but later in
the week instead of ninety five to one hundred by
Thursday Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
Maybe it's only ninety to ninety five.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Okay, all right, thank you sir, and we'll be back
with Jeff Bellinger next.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
Jeff, what's happening?

Speaker 13 (01:32:24):
Well, Good morning, Casey. This report is sponsored by Total
Wine and More. Analysts expect the markets to react to
the US air strikes on Iran, but they say Wall
Street's reaction will likely be modest. Investors may have just
gotten tired of chasing headlines. Stock market futures pointing a
little bit higher right across the board this morning. S
and P futures are up six. Nasdaq futures or up

(01:32:47):
thirty two, the Dow futures or up seven. We've seen
some volatility in the futures this morning. Crude oil futures
are a little changed, despite concerns about potential supplied disruption.
Should Iran attack vessels the Strait of Hormuz, a spike
in the price of oil would be a new inflation risk.
The government is warning businesses to guard against possible Iranian

(01:33:08):
cyber attacks. The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin
this morning, but said it has not identified any specific
imminent threat. Lawmakers will get the federal Reserves view on
the economy, monetary policy, and now the conflict in the
Middle East. When Chair Jerome Powell testifies on Capitol Hill,
he'll go before congressional panels tomorrow and Wednesday. New polling

(01:33:31):
finds more than three quarters of Americans do not feel
completely financially secure. Nearly half of the Americans say they
would feel financially secure and comfortable if they had a
six figure annual income. More than a quarter of the
people polled for Bankrates Financial Freedom Survey said they would
need to make one hundred fifty thousand dollars or more.

(01:33:52):
Problem is, the Census Bureau estimates the average full time
worker earns about eighty one thousand, five hundred dollars a year.
New vehicles from Toyota, at least some of them, will
cost more starting next month. The automaker says the prices
on some Toyota and Lexus brand models will be hiked
by more than two hundred dollars. It's part of a
regular revision. And Casey Tesla launched its robo taxi service

(01:34:17):
in Austin. The first rides were offered yesterday to a
group of handpicked online influencers.

Speaker 2 (01:34:23):
Casey and because it's Elon. He charged a fixed price
of four dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
And twenty cents. Okay, so yeah, so you know what
that means, right.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Oh yeah, yes, yes, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Okay, yeah, so that's that's Elon being Elon. All right, thanks, Jeff,
approciate it all right, have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:34:43):
Yeah, there you go. Jeff Bellender Bloomberg News Ross. Do
you believe him? Then he knows what that means. He knows, yes,
Oh no, he grew up in the seventies, right.

Speaker 1 (01:34:58):
Yeah, I think so, it's about right, so I would
think so, I don't know. Sorry, I wasn't convinced.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
By his answer there.

Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
All right, real quick, couple things this and I remember
I said the Democrats the main reason I think they're
butt hurd is because nobody told them. And that's also
why nothing leaked about this mission. However, Papa John's knew,
so check it out. So this is this is interesting U.
So people, there are literal Twitter accounts that follow pizza

(01:35:30):
places near the Pentagon and also near sent Com, which
is at McDill down in Tampa. And if they start
getting like crazy amounts of orders, that generally means something's happening.
Militarily and so they actually track this. So the according
to the Pentagon Pizza report, they saw an immense spike

(01:35:51):
of traffic at three point thirty. And then also there's
a bar near the Pentagon. It's a gay bar called
Freddy's Beach Bar, and it's usually on Saturdays or after
work on Fridays. But on Saturday seven o'clock nothing, it
was damn near empty. And literally they use those as

(01:36:11):
indicators as to there's something big happen at the Pentagon.
Sure enough, the Dominoes right outside the McDill Air Force
Base down in Tampa, they had a super order for pizza.
So Papa John's Dominoes and Freddie's Beach Bar all new
and Democrats in Congress didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
I saw this on Friday. Markey and I were sitting
in bed, we watching a movie and it was during
commercial breaking. I'm scrolling and I said, oh, look they're
saying something big is gonna happen because they're getting lots
of pizza at the Pentagon or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
I saw the post on.

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
X Yes, yeah, Nancy Pelosi said, oh didn't they tell us? Like,
I don't know, maybe you should follow the right Twitter
accounts
