Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Phone number eight eight eight nine threefour seven eight seven four. As we
get things, we get things rolling. I didn't realize how many heroes we
had, possibly myself included, ofcourse, and one could argue extra hero

(00:22):
because extra times I myself have beendiagnosed with it. Ross did you ever
get like technically get COVID. Wereyou tested and you were sure that you
had it? Was that a thing? I've had it, but it's never
been like that. It's been likea coult so stolen valor got it.

(00:43):
So basically it's the same as anyheroic super heroic act you can do.
I didn't know this. I myselfhave tested positive for it officially, so
get me whatever the award is.So you just like knew you had it?
What didn't like? Your wife testedright? No, Like we took
the home test and I had it. Oh okay, but I had like

(01:06):
but it was like a cold,it was nothing. All right? Well,
where in Arlington do you want buried? Have you have you like mapped
it out and figured it out.I'm going with a twenty foot tall animatronic
statue. You know they have theyhave a certain continuity to the headstones.
I don't know if you've what whatis the animatronic statue? Don't Yeah,

(01:32):
no, no, I got itfrom Futurama. It just says, remember
me every sixty seconds, let mesee okay, kind of like the JFK's
Eternal Flame, which if you goto Arlington you can go ahead and see
that. So I didn't realize itwas the same as I don't know,
literally surviving an assassination attempt. Butalso I'm not CNN, so what do

(01:55):
I know. Let's get into thisbecause Joe Biden's got the COVID. These
two men are both elderly. DonaldTrump is an elderly man who for what
I'm sorry, I said, CNN, let's MSNBC. We'll get to CNN
stupidity MSNBC. That's joy read,by the way, the arbiter of such
things. These two men are bothelderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man

(02:16):
who, for whatever reason, wasgiven nine seconds to take a iconic photo
op during an active shooter. Thesituation, weird situation. We'll figure that
out one day. I'm sorry,I have to stop there. What what

(02:37):
what was given nine One could arguehe earned it. One could one could
argue if you asked him, Hey, how would you like to be in
one of the most iconic news photosin the history of the United States.

(03:06):
Sounds pretty good, right, Yeah, But we're going to shoot at you.
And when I say shoot at you, we're going to get so close
it's going to draw blood. Howare you feeling about that? Because I
don't feel that that conversation happened.But whatever, let's go. These two
men are both elderly. Donald Trumpis an elderly man who, for whatever

(03:29):
reason, was given nine seconds totake a iconic photo op during an active
shooter situation. Weird situation. We'llfigure that out one day. But his
survival of that and bouncing right backand going right to his convention is being
conveyed in the media world as asin of string. This current president of
the United States is eighty one yearsold and has COVID. Should he be

(03:53):
fine in a couple of days?Doesn't that convey exactly the same thing that
he's strong enough older than Trump tohave gotten something that used to really be
fatal to people his age. Soif he does find out of it,
I would point out that mathematically,not even people his age the majority,

(04:14):
No, but we have the mathon this. So if you're eighty one
and you are in the current healthcondition that Joe Biden is, you were
more likely not to have it befatal. That's some math and comes back
and is able to do rallies.Isn't that exactly the same? I mean,

(04:35):
it's not exactly the same, It'snot same incident, but it's an
elderly man coming through out of anill. How does she have a job
because like MSNBC admittedly has tried tomitigate some of the crazy, right they

(05:00):
not really but kind of like thestuff that's in your face nut job and
then every now and then it slipsthrough. But how does Joy Reid still
have a job? Isn't she theone correct me if I'm wrong? Isn't
she the one who like they founda blog of hers that was like super

(05:23):
cancelable? And then she says,I don't know how it got there,
And then I don't even honestly,I don't even know what the what the
end of that story was? Allright? So is I guess that's the
question we'll start with. Is gettingCOVID the same as getting shot your thoughts

(05:47):
eight eight eight nine three four seveneight seven Part Ross Getting COVID getting shot.
Do you have a choice. IfI had to choose, I'd probably
go with getting COVID. But Iwas excited to hear about Biden getting COVID.
COVID is back and now we cantake time off from work again for
COVID. Well you should that,because now you're like, you got COVID.

(06:11):
What is that? I don't feelwell? Where's your neck brace?
By the way, that just wasthat a yesterday thing? I'm a I'm
a quick healer. Okay, well, then the COVID shouldn't be a problem.
Right, you're literally the new guyright from Monty Python. Is that
what we're dealing with? Yes,you got better? Okay, it's not

(06:35):
it's the same. It's the ifhe gets Trump had Do you remember Trump
was the first one to have COVIDof the like the big names in the
US. I know Tom Hanks hadit, but technically he had it in
Australia. Yeah, and he hadit and he came back to the White
House and at the time they triedto claim that it wasn't as like he

(06:58):
was using it too, as likea you know, to show as a
theater piece. Do you remember howexcited they were when he had to go.
Yeah, Oh, they were sohappy. Oh, he's got the
COVID. Remember he came back andhe took the mask off up on the
balcony and they look at this shameless, he's can't believe he would do this,
Yeah, to show that he's stillstrong, and ugh, we loser.

(07:21):
They were so happy he had COVID. They were so and and you
know, you had a lot ofthe garbage takes where they're just like,
look, you know, he's goingto have to die to prove people this.
It was you know, it wasjust a little another level of horribleness.
And now Biden's got it, anduh, he's rambo. Biden has

(07:43):
it again. Hasn't he had liketwenty times or something. He's had COVID
a bunch of time. I'm surehe's had like Booster, Yeah, yeah,
he had it. When Jensaki hadit, I think there was there
was like a little mini collective ofhim and a lot of people are by

(08:05):
the way, are also pointing toa statement that was made Let's see during
the interview. Biden said, let'ssee here, he would consider dropping out
of the presidential race if doctors cameto him and diagnosed him with a medical
condition. Well, what does thatmean? COVID? And by the way,

(08:26):
if he quits because of COVID,does he still get the hero status.
I don't know. I'm very confused. In an interview with Bee T
Gordon, Ed Gordon asked Biden ifthere was anything that could convince him,
and he said, if some medicalcondition emerged. Okay, I'm sorry,

(08:48):
what were you saying? And there'sa conspiracy theory now that they gave him
the they want him out, sothey they gave him COVID on purpose.
Oh they and they gave him likethe bad batch of COVID. Oh no,
oh no, So it's like putinlight really yes? Oh no,
Okay. I hope he gets better, because here's the thing. Is as
weird as this week has been,and as downright hateful as I have watched

(09:16):
people be. I don't want Idon't want Joe Biden to die, Okay,
is right? No? I didI want him on the ticket until
November? Well no, no,I don't even want it for selfish reasons,
like I just don't wish. There'sa few people I have a list
that I wish death upon. Iknow that's not good. Saint Peter's going

(09:37):
to have a problem whatever. ButI don't want that, and I don't
even want it for yeah, tokeep him on the ticket reasons like I
don't want that. That being said, it's not the same like I'll give

(09:58):
it the guy test. Okay,dudes are sitting around having some beers,
telling some stories as we do.Which story are you more invested in that
time you got shot in the earor that time you got COVID? Just

(10:20):
running it through that filter, I'mgonna be like, Joe, that's great
anyway, what were you saying,don That's how that's gonna play out?
Two different things. And look,Biden's got some crazy stories, almost none
of which are true. Right.Remember he got arrested with Nelson Mandela.

(10:41):
That would be a good story ifit was true. It's not true.
Remember that time his uncle got eatenby cannibals. Not so much. He's
that guy in the group. Wouldn'tthat be something? Though? If he's
like, I have COVID, Ihave to drop out. I wonder with

(11:05):
that language if because some people notthe COVID, but some people are speculating
that that might be a tell allright, And he's gonna come out maybe,
you know, maybe it's Parkinson's whoknows. I mean, do you
really think he has COVID? Well, there's there's maybe like ten percent of
me that thinks he actually has COVID. They're looking for some excuse to get

(11:28):
rid of him. Well, he'sgot he's got to go rest. I
mean, I'm going up that stairs. And it took him like, you
know, twenty minutes to go toshort stairs and air Force one or whatever.
Now was that five foot or twelvefoot of stairs? Uh? Primately,
yeah, I'd say more five.Oh my gosh, did you see
the picture of where this dude's ladderwas. It's next to the Secret Services

(11:50):
ladder. Yeah. I saw adiagram that Elon Musk put out on X.
Yes, that one. That's whatI'm talking about. What what the
hell is going on? Man?Every time I see something new, I
am astounded with this whole thing.But that looked like a five foot ladder?
Didn't it in there? Because it'sactually like on something? Yeah?

(12:16):
Everything is nuts, dude. Allright, So Biden's got the COVID and
it's basically the same as Loane Survivor. Dude, same thing, basically,
Hey, I don't make the rules. Apparently MSNBC doos. So yeah,

(12:39):
that a little bit of crazy tostart the show for you this morning,
six nineteen. Hang on just divingright into it. These two men are
both elderly. Donald Trump is anelderly man who, for whatever reason,
was given nine seconds to take aiconic photo op during it. Well,
by the way, what does thateven mean? Ross? You dubbed this
in? I mean, we getto what I want? But what does

(13:01):
she mean? For whatever reason?Is is joy read on the there's nothing
under the bandage train? Did Imiss that? Like? I can't figure
out why she says it like that. That'd be amazing if she was.
By the way, do you seepeople at the RNC wearing like bandages on

(13:24):
their ears yesterday? Oh for theAnd what you guys don't realize is that
the RNC, like the TV stationsets are, they're like up in the
uh what would be like I guessthe VIP boxes. It's really hard to
describe. So they're looking, theysee all of this, but they're also

(13:46):
up in their own little world.And I had when I was when I
did RNC, I had credentials togo up there and like they would get
like but hurt if other press wasup there. So they're like weirdly in
their own little bus watching all ofthis. But I can't figure out what
joy Read's thing is. All right, Donna, real quick, what's up?

(14:07):
Good morning, Casey. Hey,it dropped yesterday that Chuck Schumer went
to Rejolvis Beach last weekend to urgeBiden to drop out. And I'm wondering
if maybe it's not COVID. Maybehe brought him some of his uncooked hamburgers.
Uh, you know, maybe Idon't know Schumer. Uh, Schumer

(14:31):
at the very least has been consistenton this, which is, as you
know, just a weird to meas anything else. But all right,
so you're going with Salmonilau. IsLincoln into the dinosaurs still? Or have
we moved? We moved past that, haven't we? Yeah, we've moved
beyond that, does he? Buthe likes the museums, right, he's
oh you're a big fan. Yeah, oh okay, all right, because

(14:52):
they got the dinosaur style. Well, though, didn't somebody try to steal
one of the eggs or something?I seem to remember that story. Well,
uh, apparently a trio of dinosaurshave popped up in downtown Raleigh.
They are at topiary so card bushes. They're very well done from the photo

(15:13):
here. This is part of awhat is this dueling dinosaurs exhibit at the
Museum of Natural Sciences. But let'ssee where are they more Square Exchange Plaza,
Fayettevillain Morgan. Actually we have thewe have the news audio right all

(15:37):
right, because they got names andbackstories. All right? So all right,
so these are the three dinosaurs.Here we go, take it away,
newsperson. We have new information now. Also on the plane crash,
k TV has just learned the namesof the four pilots who are on dar
the flight. They are Captain someTing Wong, we Too Low, Ho

(15:58):
Lee Fuk, and Bang dang Al. That's four. I said, there's
three dinosaurs. That's obviously not them. That's what you get for not previewing
the audio gets put on the buttonbar, all right, Uh so,
uh let me flip over to this. Let's see you here, all right,

(16:18):
what are the dinosaurs' names? Wehave Terry the pterodactyl, Trish the
triceratops, and bes Bes the trex. Why not rex? I mean,
I know it's in the name.But anyway, so if I guess

(16:41):
if you're downtown Raleigh, they're they'regonna you can go check them out.
I hope somebody doesn't vandalize them.We just have some people just hate stuff.
So u ross, that's cool,right the dinosaurs. Oh right,
us is screening a phone call there, so let him finish that, because

(17:06):
that's as far as I wanted togo on this story. That's where I
wanted to end up. Let youknow, that's the thing. If you're
in the Raleigh area. I knowwe got some Triad listeners, but maybe
you're visiting Raleigh, those things willbe downtown, or maybe you go to
the state museums. Those will bethere for you. But you've neglected to
ask the apparently the pertinent question becauseas I'm reading the story here and I

(17:33):
just want to know what they areso I can inform you should you have
any interest. I'm then greeted withthe following paragraph. The Bright Green installations
are part of the City of Raleigh'seffort to celebrate the Dueling Dinosaurs exhibit at
the North Carolina Museum of Natural Scienceswhile creating family friendly navigation points in the

(17:57):
area. That's good, all right. The dinosaurs Becks, Terry and Trish,
a t Rex, pterodactyl, andtriceratops are set to mark the way
between museums, local businesses, andattractions. Ross, what's missing from this

(18:18):
story, man, other than thetypes of dinosaurs, the location and everything.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, it's fine because it's
it's so stupid. So the threedinosaurs, according to the City of Raleigh,
also have preferred pronouns. So ifyou are visiting the dinosaurs, which

(18:40):
are carved out of a bush,make sure you use the right pronouns with
your kids. Apparently the t rexgoes by they them. I would love
if we're ever able to actually,you know, like do the Jurassic Park

(19:02):
thing and we got ourselves at tRex. I would love to watch the
conversation where somebody determines the t rex'spronouns. That is the dumbest thing I've
ever heard in my life. Thereis no reason for that. Now,
you know. I was groaning duringthe break right now, you know?
Now you know because Ross heard me, like he didn't see the story,
and he heard me go, oh, dear God, this is where we

(19:26):
are. Yeah, So if you'regonna go see the t rex carved out
of a bush. They them pronounsbigots, the pterodactyl, he him,
okay, m hm, tricerah toops, she her, But yeah, the
t rex. There's no z zim. Wouldn't I have a question. Do

(19:52):
you remember the dumb animal pronouns stuffwhere they're like, what was it like
frog self? You know? Doyou remember the yeah, they had one
for like cats or something too,like, hey, I'm a cat,
right right? All right? Wouldn'twouldn't this be the time to do that?
Wouldn't it? If you're if you'regonna do the pronoun thing, wouldn't

(20:14):
you use animal pronouns for animals ratherthan confused tweens. I'm just looking.
I'm just trying to make sense allof this. So or you can just
go stare at these things and yourkids, I don't know, maybe they
want to picture and then that'll beyour day and you don't have to get

(20:37):
into this. Is there sign?Of course there's signage? And why wouldn't
there be? Uh? The DowntownRaleigh Alliance will be a special Jurassic Jubilee
on August second, which is that'sfirst Friday, which always do stuff downtown,
but the dinos are expected to stickaround the rest of the year.

(20:57):
Do they have somebody there if youmiss if you if you get the pronouns
wrong, how does that work?It's so disappointed by some of this stuff.
Just put the stupid dinosaurs. Howhard is this? We have the

(21:18):
museums are great. We got greatmuseums in Northrop or else. You would
concur we have great museums, right, yeah, and I've been there a
bunch. Yeah, you and Lincoln, that's your thing. You go to
the museum museum. It used tobe a weekend thing with us, like
every weekend. Right, Just putthe damn dinosaurs up. Do that?
Go over to I haven't been overthe lemur things. I've only I went

(21:41):
there once. I don't know ifthey're doing that over there? Can you
just leave? I know these aren'treal animals, but why why inject this
in there? Nobody was asking thepronouns of dinosaurs anyway, Like nobody nobody
just wanted to get to know themon that level. They're like, oh

(22:03):
my gosh, look at that.That thing would totally ead me. Pterodactyl,
what do you get, you know, learning the size of an actual
pterodactyl is pretty interesting, but no, we gotta uh, we got to
make sure that we have the properpronouns. What is this? Are you

(22:30):
mad at me for I didn't doit? You're like angry with me.
I'm just telling you what this stupidpress release says. When is the bush
media going to come out of thesky and destroy the bush dinosaurs? Or
could it be an actual real meteor? I what is the meteor's pronounce?
I mean, I you know,before i'd be like, yay meteor.

(22:51):
I was on more about Team Meteor. But we had some positive news lately,
and but I don't know, maybewe can wait till afternoon November.
Okay, all right, well justmake sure you get the dinosaur pronounce right.
So, dumb dude, don't theyhave another Jurassic Park coming out?
I think they do, and it'sgot like the it's like the chick from

(23:15):
Hunger Games, right, I thinkthey swapped out Who's Scarlett Johansson's gonna be
in it? Oh? It's JoeHanson. Okay, why did I think?
Why did I think it was?What's her about? Kid? Yeah?
Yeah? Yeah, So I don'tI don't know if they're pronouning the
dinosaurs. But yeah, hey,Hollywood, what are you gonna do?
All right, six forty four CaCORadio program, just go see the dinosaurs.

(23:40):
Why this has why that has tobe injected? I don't know,
all right, coming up on theshow. You know, I noticed this
the other day, and I lovethat people are bud hurt over it.
And that is I was on theNetflix, and you know, when you
scroll Netflix, if you scroll downin like movies or TV or even they're
like top ten movies in the USAor top ten you know whatever. I

(24:03):
saw this movie trending in the sameway we see Twitter trending. And I
let out a little chuckle because Iknew it was gonna but hurt some people,
and I was correct. I'll explainnext hang on retrending of the movie

(24:26):
Hill Billy l G. I've neverwatched this, by way, did you
watch that movie? By the way? Ross the JD Vance's book. Okay,
I never watched the movie. It'sjust one that didn't strike me as
my kind of movie. So ifit's good, great, glad you love
it. But basically it is,you know jd Vance. That was his

(24:48):
claim to fame. He wrote thisbook, it got optioned for a movie.
They made a movie, had abunch of big stars, did really,
really well. And the irony is, I want to say, when
it first, when all that wasfirst going on, they love this dude
because you know, he's just intoa senate term. His politics weren't,

(25:15):
I guess readily apparent. So themovie did really well. Who's all in
that? Actually? I was goingto call it up and then Ross and
I were trying to find something,so a little sidetracked there. Yes,
thank you, IMDb. No,I don't want to register so you can
sell my information, all right,because it like it was, here we

(25:40):
go. Amy Adams is in itfrom Oh, what's the alien movie I'm
thinking of anyway, Glenn Close,Yeah, you got. I mean,
these are you know, big timeactors. Ron Howard was the director,
I think yeah. Ron Howard wasthe director based on jad Vance's book and

(26:02):
the premise of which some about aYale law student basically getting called back to
his very rule existence. And youknow, frankly, I probably should watch
it. There's probably things that Icould identify with there, but I'm just
not a drama dude for the mostpart. But the movie did really well.

(26:27):
It came out in twenty twenty,so it's had a little time to
simmer. And yet as I wasdigging through Netflix just the other yesterday,
maybe it was the day before,it was trending within there because people were
going back and watching it. Ithink a lot of people probably even though

(26:51):
it was a popular movie, hadbig, you know, big time actors
in it. Almost every report Isaw with Advance, when they were announcing
he was the VP pick, theywould mention he was the author of the
book that got turned into the movie, and there you go. So people
were out watching it. So ofcourse this is problematic, that's right,

(27:19):
very problematic. Variety magazine is quotevery concerned that the movie is surging.
The irony, of course, beingthat Variety gave it a very positive review
when it came out, So like, literally you can track the stupidity here.

(27:44):
Let's see here Vance's selection. Let'ssee he'll billy ellogy hill billy eleogy.
I guess this is how it's pronounced. Rocketed to number one on the
Amazon bestseller list in two days.So even on the book side on Amazon,
this thing's banging. New York Postreports Ron Howard's twenty twenty, film
saw a huge surge on Netflix,specifically more than one thousand percent, which

(28:11):
pushed it into the top ten inthe US. But Variety's not dealing well
let's see here. Yeah, Idon't look. I don't know why even
why even mention it. I guessit would be my question here because,
like every you have, your reviewis a matter of record. So when

(28:37):
this movie came out twenty twenty,Variety gave it a positive review, very
positive review. I'm just kind ofscanning some of this. So what are
you guys going to retroactively go inand like tweak the review. I wouldn't
put it past him, very proud. The author is very problematic. I

(28:59):
don't know, is the content good? You guys seem to think the content's
good. I'm assuming it's not woke? Right? Has anyone seen this movie?
Do you want to give a littlebook report? You can do that,
obviously, I can't sit here andwatch it while I'm on the air.
But people are going and checking itout, and I guess my question
is, what's the problem If that'sthe way in which they're doing the get

(29:23):
to know with JD Vance, Imean, it's not going to tell you
the totality of his politics. Whohe is. There's his story there he
wasn't a Trump guy, wasn't aTrump guy. And then there's and you
can readily find audio of him beingasked that in a debate where he says,

(29:47):
look, I wasn't a Trump candidateguy, but I found myself a
Trump president guy. And he wouldn'tbe alone. That's not an unusual path.
On Tuesday, the paper book andhardcover editions reach number one and number
two on Amazon. You know whatthey're gonna do. They're gonna do the

(30:07):
New York Times thing, right wherethe New York Times bestseller list, where
they have all these weird unspoken rulesthat they just kind of tweak to manipulate
who's on there. They're like,all right, it can't all right,
yeah, but we won't count booksthat were bought at Costco, which is
a literal thing that they have usedto keep the likes of Bill O'Reilly and

(30:33):
Glenn Beck off there with the Killing. You know, there's like five of
the Killing books. Right, theyliterally decide, well, it doesn't count
if they buy it at Costco becauseit's it's not full price. So we'll
see if Bezos decides to tweak thisthing, because you can't have something out

(30:56):
there that might make one of thesecats look good. It's the same thing
with the picture that was very problematic, this picture of Donald Trump. You
got the flag in the background,he's raising his fist in the air.
It's propaganda. Can't print that toomuch. Absolute absurdity. By the way,

(31:18):
there is a report out and thiswill kind of walk us into where
we're going. Hello, everybody,it is our number two on this fine
albeit you know, hell level heatmorning. This from New York Post Biden
now being quote receptive about possibility ofgiving up twenty twenty four election. According

(31:41):
to a new report. Now,I will say that his campaign Spoketel said
that's not true. But there wasa meeting literally like an hour before Trump
was shot of Democrats, and itwas wild. It's obviously the new cycle

(32:07):
in a very different direction. Butlike his interaction with his allies was like
he was he was trying to fighthim for I mean, not physically probably,
but like it didn't go well.And and again it's what is so,

(32:30):
you know, I didn't I didn'tmention this. It was something from
over the weekend and it just it'sone of those things that just made me
so mad reading it. Now,I realize I didn't mention it Monday or
Tuesday or Wednesday for that matter.But I gotta go back to this because
here we go. All right,So this is a new Hampshire representative.

(32:52):
Her name is Wendy who gives acrap? All right, great last name,
just can't see it from the WendyThomas air to the Wendy's fortune,
I don't know, probably not.She tweeted, quote, first, I
unequivocally support Biden for president one percent. And then she said what everyone is

(33:15):
calling dementia could be long COVID.When I had long COVID, I had
difficulty with reading, word retrieval andshort term memory. All right, and
let me explain the reason this mademe so angry. Knowing dementia or hearing
about it, and Alzheimer's and allof these, right, these cognitive diseases

(33:40):
that just recavoc on the individual thatyou knew doesn't truly hit home until you
watch it. And I'm sure manymany out there ross have you had a
close family member who's had Alzheimer's ordementia. It's okay if you didn't.
But but no, I've been I'vebeen fortunate enough not to experience that,

(34:05):
to truly watch it and experience itis it changes your opinion of it because,
well, for obvious reasons, right, And it's because you knew the
person before, right, You hada solid understanding of the individual. And

(34:30):
only then can you truly recognize whatthis does to a person. And I've
told the story before, I'll tellI'll tell you the very short version again.
My mother passed away when I wasvery young, right, she was
mid fifties. I was twenty three, And actually she passed away. My

(34:54):
dad passed away six months later,two wildly different things. Now, neither
of the had Alzheimer's, but mygrandmother did her mother, and it created
a situation, and then she passedaway about eight months later. But it
created a situation where I'm watching GrandmaBiley, it's my mom's maiden name,

(35:19):
which that's now you can get inmy bank account whatever, and I'm I'm
I'm watching her, who was oneof the sharpest people that I knew,
turn into somebody else. And whenmy mom passed away, we had,
you know, this is her daughter. I remember even in the midst of

(35:42):
that, how absolutely horrible it wasfor her for obvious reasons, we had
to tell her, and and thenshe wanted to know when my mom was
coming by, and we told heragain, and then she wanted to know

(36:06):
how my mom's doing. In aconversation literally had to be had about whether
it was cruel to keep telling her. I'm not a very emotional person,

(36:27):
but holy crap, So to recognizewhat happens gives you a greater appreciation for
why it is so important to beable to recognize treat research on this front.

(36:53):
And I don't know what's up withwith Joe Biden. I don't I
don't know if it's that, ifit's you know, some people just it's
not the full on Alzheimer's, whateverit is. And it made me so
angry because I don't want people whomay notice a loved one dealing with something

(37:15):
like that to go. You know, it's probably long COVID. Now it's
the long COVID because this ghrul ofa politician think she's helping. Now now
I am like upset that I forgotto get into this. It's just,

(37:37):
you know, the news cycle wasjust coming at you on Monday. So
I've literally lost how I was goingto wrap this around because I'm just sitting
there. I'm sitting there remembering thisconversation. So as we're sitting here and

(37:57):
we're having these conversations, and JoeBiden's you know, intimating that if the
doctor says something, and you know, reports which you know may very well
be just people within the party whowho want to get rid of all.
Right now, I remember how Iconnected this, who want to get rid
of it. I don't know everythingthat's going on in the background, but
if the president of the United Statesis dealing with something like this, I

(38:23):
think it's incredibly important that people knowbecause while they may not see it in
their life, and they may notsee it within their loved ones, and
I hope that's the case for everybody. Seeing somebody you know and have you
have a bead on them can becan be helpful and understanding it not because

(38:49):
I wish this upon him, butbecause you don't get it until you've dealt
with it. And so some lunaticfrom New Hampshire is like, it's probably
just a cold. I get thelong COVID is potentially the least helpful garbage

(39:12):
I have seen in a while.So I don't know who's putting this report
out. I know that the reportingis happening, happening New York Times.
Let's see here CNN as well.I knew there was one of the TV
stations according to CNN yesterday quote,he's being receptive, not as defiant as

(39:37):
he is publicly publicly. However,if you look to the meeting that happened,
he like he like went in onRepresentative Crowe, who's a military veteran's
a Democrat. He picked a fightwith him. And one of the elements

(39:57):
is and it's understandable. I getfrustrated when I think my like, I'm
not firing on one hundred percent thereis there can be rushes of frustration which
turn into anger. That is apart of going down this road. And

(40:20):
again I get it, and JoeBiden does that a lot, right,
Remember the dude he wanted to dopush ups, they wanted to fight.
I'm not a doctor. I can'tdiagnose that. Being said, uhh when

(40:40):
you look at this, let's seehere. Of course you had Biden's n
double ac speech, N double acP speech, which was a nightmare.
All right, So The Zoom Videomeeting, which took place Saturday, included
a confrontation between Biden and Representative Crow, and Biden apparently told Crow said,

(41:06):
quote, tell me who the hellthat is. Tell me who put NATO
back together? Tell me who didsomething that you've never done with your bronze
star like my son. Biden alsowent on to claim that he founded NATO.
Quote I put NATO together. Hewould have been seven. That's the

(41:27):
math I was doing during the break. Biden was born in forty two.
NATO was founded in forty nine,which either that's not true or that's very
impressive that a seven year old foundedNATO. I'm gonna I'm gonna probably go

(41:49):
on the Uh it's not true,and I and I kind of get what
he was trying to say. Hewas he was saying that, you know,
remember Trump went in there and he'slike, everyone's gonna pay their fair
share, and then that was reportedas destroying NATO. That's what he's driving
at the problem is the talking pointsare getting garbled, and you're on the
friend you're on a friendly phone call, and you're you're harassing somebody with a

(42:14):
bronze star over your kid, which, uh, Ross. Can you check
and see if bo Biden has abronze star? I don't know, will
you? Will you check and see? I know Crow does quote. Uh
oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm This was going to be very

(42:39):
very tight segment, and I havewandered all over just so irritating with the
new Hampshire woman. But Crow said, quote, your message is not breaking
through, mister president, to ourvoters. Biden shot back, you ought
to talk about it, listing hisaccomplishments again on national security. Nobody's been

(43:05):
a better president than I have been. Name me one, Name me one.
I don't want to hear that crap. And also, I don't understand
what this mean. Tell me somethingyou've never done with your bronze star like
my son. What does that evenmean? Let's see crow Crow is well,

(43:30):
this is an anonymous source, sotake it for what it's worth.
At least one member of Congress.They don't say it's Crow said quote,
had the assassination attempt not occurred?An hour later, I imagine fifty people
on that call were ready to publiclycome out against him. It went that
badly, absolutely wild man, allright, seven nineteen case, I don't

(43:55):
know what I was trying to communicatethere as the main point, but I
think you get the just that callwent horribly. I'm not surprised that CNNA
New York Times are reporting that he'squote receptive to this, but maybe he's
receptive in that five minutes and anhour later, he's none but the absolute

(44:20):
inability to acknowledge this. And ifyou have fifty people that were ready to
come out, and because Trump gotshot at, you're now like, Noah,
we're not going to say anything,or got shot. I should say
now, we're not going to sayanything. Screw you own it, believe
it. What do you have tolose He's not going to win. Salvage

(44:43):
a little dignity and tell me whatthe hell that Bronze star comment means,
because I can't figure it out.Seven twenty hang on, wear that with
a badge of honor. Dude's gotlike a terrarium the size of a room
and eats the snakes too. Imean they you don't do whatever we're gonna
do. Obviously, I grew upin an environment where we ate gritters wandering

(45:07):
around our property as well, sogood on you. I remember the rattle
snake being okay, I don't knowthat i'd eat it on the regular,
and I've never eaten python. PlusI would, you know, I gotta
be honest, I would eat Iwon't eat dangerous stuff for the bragging rights.

(45:29):
Sorry, I need let me geta sip of water and know what's
up with my voice right now?Ah delicious? All right? Chasing that
Python down. But yeah, sowe're on the bug slash snake front.
I guess with the hey, let'sall eat other stuff that we don't want
to eat for the planet. AndI don't know there's gonna be a lot

(45:51):
of takers, but you gotta haveyour science story, all right. Let
me get into this. I thinkthis is a fascinating discussion. So let
me you the phone number. You'reprobably gonna want to use it. Eight
eight eight nine three four seven eightseven four. A school counselor in Yadkin

(46:12):
County has resigned. Uh what isher name? Amanda Brewer? So on
Saturday, obviously a lot of peoplewith a lot of thoughts with everything going
on at the Trump rally, andshe posted something rather interesting. No it

(46:37):
wasn't the straight up, damn,I'm so sorry they missed. It was
actually a bit more than that.So Brewer, who served as a school
she's resigned already school counselor Booneville Elementary, posted on social media the following She

(46:59):
said, I'm currently sitting on thebeach this afternoon, disturbed by the fact,
sickened with myself that I was disappointedthe shooter missed when I saw the
news yesterday. I guess she postedthis on Sunday. I've allowed that horrible,
horrible man to make me bitter enoughto have such an experience. I

(47:22):
was horrified when folks on social mediaposted they hoped he would die when he
had COVID back in twenty twenty.Have I become this cynical or that cynical?
I clearly need to do some reflectingand some work. And then a
separate post, she says that sheloathes Trump, but it doesn't reference what

(47:45):
happened, all right, you knowclearly not a Trump fan. But is
that the same which he posted?Is that the same as the nastiness we
saw from the Colorado Right, sympathyfor the devil or Benny Thompson's former field
director, Oh you missed, dobetter next time. The irony, of

(48:08):
course, being that Benny Thompson's like, oh, I can't believe that when
Benny Thompson was the one who introducedlegislation to have Trumps Secret Service revoked a
few months ago. But whatever,But is that the same what she posted?
I mean, it seems almost likeself analysis. Now. Granted,

(48:29):
I don't know that I want hercounseling kids, especially if they have questions
about current events. But also Idon't know how she deals with kids.
But she posted it to social media, so there is that. And I'm
gonna read it again, and I'mcurious what you think. Do you think

(48:50):
she should have resigned? Because it'snot to me, it's not the same
as just the real nasty posts likeoh man, let's get another shooter in
there, one who can hit atarget, right. It's not that it
strikes me as reflective quote. I'mcurrently sitting on the beach this afternoon,

(49:12):
disturbed by the fact, sickened withmyself that I was disappointed the shooter missed
when I saw the news yesterday,I've allowed that horrible, horrible man to
make me bitter enough to have suchan experience. I was horrified when folks
on social media posted that they hopedhe would die when he had COVID in

(49:35):
twenty twenty. So she's referencing whatwe referenced. And at that time she
said she was horrified to see thosetweets, as most normal people were.
And then she says, I clearlyneed to do some reflecting and some work.
And then she went in and resigned. I mean, obviously she resigned
after people were like, you postedwhat, But is that the same thing,

(50:00):
because I I don't know. Ihonestly, I think it's easy to
say that she maybe shouldn't have thatgig. You know, you're influencing kids.
But it sounds like she's disturbed byher own thoughts. And have you

(50:22):
ever been there? Have you everbeen disturbed by your own thoughts? I'm
not gonna lie. It happens fromtime to time where I'm just like I
see a story and I just getso irritated, and then I have to
catch myself because I do that thingwhere I'm little. I'm like, like,

(50:42):
your hands are turning red because you'regetting angry about something. Now.
I don't know that I've ever beenlike shoot him again, but I've had
some We've all had some dark thoughts. Man. So eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four.That's our phone number. Eight eight eight

(51:07):
nine three four seven eight seven four. Do you do you do you see
that post as the same, becauseshe does. She does say that she
the thought that crossed her mind wasdisappointment, so that would align with some
of these other posts, but shesays it in the context of her being
like horrified that she thought that.And remember, you know, one of

(51:30):
the things that is out there isthe constant drum beat of literally this guy's
literally hitler, he hates women,he's a he's a rapist, he's a
this, he's a that, Andand you get that drum beat every day,
and you allow yourself. I mean, it's interesting that you're a counselor

(51:52):
and you would allow yourself to beinfluenced like that. But I don't know
if I see that the same.And I admittedly I'm on the phone as
to whether she should have resigned,and I let probably irritate some people,
but like recognizing that is far morethan a lot of people do. I

(52:12):
mean, you, guys, ifyou're on social media, you see people
every day who are absolutely in denialwith the the brain rot that has set
in with them, and her postis about recognizing that. But again,
I still I don't know if Iwant her advising kids, so I don't

(52:35):
know that I trust what she wouldtell them. But I'm also not in
the Yadkin County Schools district. Sodo you think that she should have immediately
resigned? Do you think that thatpost is as bad as the very blatant
ones that we saw from the individualsI mentioned Bennie Thompson's field director the Colorado

(52:57):
rep and many others, or JackBlack's partner down there in Australia, Kyle
Gas. Is that the same oris it different? And should she have
resigned? That's the question I'm thrownout to you as as we truck through
the show eight eight eight nine threefour seven eight seven four The phone number.
We'll get into your calls here inthe next segment. First race Stagic

(53:22):
from the Weather Channel here to youknow, do his thing, and his
thing is hellish. So but butrain, but lots of rain, so
that's yeah. Yeah, flood watcheseast of Rocky Mount There'll be some downpours
in some spots, a little weeklow pressure. I'm going to try to
come over the top of US aswe head on through the next twelve to
eighteen hours. Maybe a little bitof coverage today on the showers thunderstorms.

(53:45):
Yesterday only a trace. Greensboro wasto sail with the airport, and in
Raleigh at RDU no rain, sowe got into the mid upper nineties today,
low nineties, no heat advisories,but still heat and it's close to
one hundred. I think likely showersand thunderstorms as we head through, probably
after three or four o'clock into earlytonight, and then tapering off after midnight,

(54:07):
and they'll be back again tomorrow.Tomorrow though, temperatures only in the
middle of number eighties, and Ithink we'll stay there mid upper eighties through
the weekend and early next week,and we're gonna get into this a little
bit wetter weather pattern with rounds ofshowers and thunderstorms out each day. We'll
have them on the best coverage,best chance they'll be during the afternoon hours,
but that doesn't mean one of thesemornings that we may not see some

(54:30):
sneak up a little bit earlier.There may be a day two days in
a row you get no rain,and then the third day you get it,
and you know vice versa. Youcould get rain every day. I
mean, it's just really casey oneof those situations where you know you're not
gonna be able to pinpoint exactly who'sgonna get it on which afternoon. I'd
just say, you know, beprepared. If you are heading out to
the beaches for the weekend, Yeah, you'll have time to be out on

(54:51):
the beach, but there'll also bestorms in the afternoon hours too, so
you have to be advised if thereare some mornings there could be some stronger
storms. Nothing widespread of your butat any time. I like we had
yesterday a couple of storms and uhYadkin County. I saw some trees down
in other counties. Uh isolated,but still there could be some stronger storms
with some strong winds too. Souh yeah, just keep grating, gear

(55:12):
handy, and exercise the wet weatherdriving skills and uh, you know,
just know your limits across nobody hasthose skills stuff. Nobody knows. Everybody's
like it's the first time it rainedor something. It's just the worst I
understand. Yeah, And by theway, I don't want to quibble with
you, but the easiest way toknow when it's going to rain is when
Casey wants to do something outside,and it probably goes for others. So

(55:35):
yeah, so if you if yousee they see Casey outside, they know
it's going to rain. So ye, get the rain gears. All right,
Uh, do appreciate it, anduh we'll talk in an hour,
Thank you, sir. All right, all right, everybody wants to comment
on the Yadkin County counselor. We'llget into that next. Hang on,
Sorry, I'm just looking at something. Yeah, Ross, everything's dumb.

(55:55):
That's that's my comment on that.So sorry, we're Oh, we're doing
my favorite thing where we literally workon some sort of tech issue during the
show. All right, so herewe go. Yadkin County School District councilor
has resigned. The name is todo Vanda Brewer and this follows a post

(56:22):
from Sunday. She tweeted the fathertweet Actually I think this is Facebook,
isn't it. Well whatever posted thison the social said, I'm currently sitting
on the beach this afternoon, disturbedby the fact, sickened with myself.
I was disappointed the shooter missed.When I saw the news yesterday, I've

(56:43):
allowed this horrible horrible man to maybebitter enough to have such an experience.
I was horrified when folks on socialmedia posted they hoped he would die of
COVID in twenty twenty. How haveI become that cynical? I clearly need
to do reflecting and some work,all right, So it's it's not as
straightforward as some of the just youknow, she'er nastininess you saw, saw

(57:08):
and heard, I guess on thepart of jack Black's cohort there. But
is it different enough that she shouldn'thave resigned because she seems aware of it.
But also I don't know that sheI think she sees a problem with
it, but not enough where shewould want eighty on this thing. So

(57:28):
I don't know she resigned, Butwe are curious what you think. All
right, let me get to thephones, Jackie Europe first, go right
ahead. Yeah, I think weneed to raise the bar for teachers because
when I was growing up, thiswould never happen. And it's one thing
if she said she hopes he's notpresident, but as a former president,
teachers should you know, show regardfor their leaders because this community helpers most

(57:53):
presidents back us up. She doesn'tlike the private school voucher thing, Well,
the money fils a child, andthat's the way it should be.
So that's where this is probably comingfrom. And I just been disappointed that
we can lower the bar for teachers. Well, and there was a way
I would do this. Yeah,that's and that that is the thing that

(58:15):
you know, the privacy with whichand obviously it was a different time,
and thank you for the call there, Jackie. Like, I didn't know
much about my teachers outside of school, and we didn't have the social media,
but and that's it was probably betterthat way. Remember how amazing it
was to see a teacher out inthe wild, Holy cow. And when
I was dating that teacher, like, she wouldn't go to bars in the

(58:39):
district that she taught in, sowe wanted to go out and do something.
We literally had to not be inthe district. Now, she didn't
teach in the district where both ofus lived, but that was the privacy
was valued. So I don't knowwhat the rules are, but yeah,
putting that out there, obviously it'ssuccessible because parents saw obviously the kids can

(59:00):
probably see it. Oh this isperfect, do you know what Boston Paul,
Good morning, to you on youranniversary. How are you doing?
I'm good, I guess. Butfor those of you who don't know,
it is Boston Paul's anniversary. Backin nineteen sixty nine, he failed to
rescue a drowning victim on JEFFA.Cutick. So, yeah, just let

(59:23):
her die, Boston Paul. Joe, Well, I went to the donut
shop or whatever he did and didn'tdo anything about him. But she drawed
to Kennedy Kiwish Yeah, yeah,yeah, your teacher friend. And you
know she wanted to be out ofdistrict because she she didn't want people seeing
you with her. Really anyway,you know that she did the right thing.

(59:46):
He's dying because she was doing atooty way of expressing her feelings.
And it comes back to the shooterwith me. Was he's he was twenty
so through school. Oh, hehad the opportunity to hear the song Barack
who's saying Obama? Now I'm surethey weren't singing that about Trump and those

(01:00:07):
schools, but I would like toknow what these teachers were saying in those
schools because I think it's coming downto education and it's just it's just getting
crazy. So why did you notrespond with this poor woman trapped in the
car? I mean, what wouldwhat did you have better to do?

(01:00:29):
Does it haunt you to this day? These are the questions I don'tus were
just made fresh. He just gotthem browing, you know you? Okay,
all right, well I have agood one. Sorry, you carry
that with you? Okay, allright, there you go Austin Paul his
anniversary. I just wanted to leteveryone know, Uh, Chris, let's

(01:00:52):
get Chris. Call real quick,Chris. I got about a minute and
a half. Go ahead, Hey, good morning, Casey. First,
I think that this lady is onthe verge of suicide. And my brother,
he's a soldier, he was questioning. He had the same questions inside
his head before he committed suicide.So I think she needs some counseling herself.
Also, remember and when fighting monsters, we got to be careful not

(01:01:15):
to become the monsters. And Ithink that's what she's realizing. She's becoming
a monster that she's trying to fight. That she thinks she's fighting against the
weird, Uh, the weird BarackObama songs. Man, but the kids
going or this one right here?Love, say remember this to make a

(01:01:37):
promise to the audacity of all.We could make a change the store with
build it and and that's all Ican take on this fine morning. So

(01:02:02):
yeah, yeah, I kind ofknow what you're saying, sir. The
school kids with Channing. Do youremember, oh man, I was just
thinking about this. Do you rememberthe audio of Ross Were you on the
show? Then? I want tosay, this was so early. Do
you remember the teacher who was screamingat the kid for disrespecting Barack Obama?

(01:02:25):
I do remember that. I washere for that. Yes, okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah, likeyeah, look, there's a lot that's
different, unquestionably, and again Isee that almost universally in my email,
and then with the callers, they'relike this, the counselor's got no business

(01:02:45):
instructing kids, if only because ofthe public nature of the post, which
you know, I can get behindthat. I can get behind that.
Yeah. Obviously, if parents areseeing it, the kids are seeing it.
Even if the counseling that's being doneis straight down the middle, the
kids are still seeing that stuff.And unfortunately, yes, I you know,

(01:03:07):
we get we get into this debate. Ah, it's my freedom of
speech. You're absolutely right. Itabsolutely is, But there are certain professions
where you just can't do that right. And in the same way that law
enforcement guys are very prickly about whatthey'll post on social med which is smart,

(01:03:29):
by the way, right, it'sdifferent for Ross and I. Right,
our job is to tell you whatwe think. And even and even
then there's stuff that we just I'mnot even gonna get into because it's my
day off, leave me alone.But when when when you're working with kids
and you're in a school setting,yeah, and and like we've lost that,

(01:03:52):
And I think a lot of itis because we have so many I
don't know that this woman is activistin the sense that she's out marching with
signage and decoration in her office orany of the rest. It looks like
she posts on the regular though,But you know, we got you know,
your blue hair teachers out there shootingvideos like literally mocking parents. Like

(01:04:12):
we've we've gone over the deep edgein some cases. So maybe that's why
I look at this and I'm like, this isn't as bad as some of
the stuff I've seen, you know, teachers filming these videos like yeah,
those are my kids, these aremy kids. And when I get them.
I'm gonna I'm gonna teach them aboutthis, and you can just you
know, kiss my whatever. Likethe audacity to make videos like that,

(01:04:35):
the fact that they exist out there, and then you know, parents get
mad and the teachers like, oh, why is this happening to me?
So while this is a liner version, it's still sending the same message.
So I think I'm kind of convincedon that. All Right, a few
other things to get to. Uh. I got to play this audio again
because it's just so backcrap crazy.This is Joy read, this is MSNBC.

(01:05:01):
This is insane. But I'll letyou be the judge. I probably
maybe I shouldn't have labeled it.Maybe you think it's perfectly logical. Here
we go, compare and contrast Trump, Biden and fire away Joy. These
two men are both elderly. DonaldTrump is an elderly man who, for
whatever reason, was given nine secondsto take a iconic photo op during an

(01:05:26):
active shooter. What is her?Have you figured out what her beef is
is? Because I can't tell ifher beef is. I think I've figured
it out. I think her problemis she feels the Secret Service didn't there's
a conspiracy and they didn't whisk himaway fast enough. Is that what's going
on here? Because she does forwhatever reason, that's what you say when

(01:05:48):
there's a conspiratorial or you're trying tobe funny and she's not trying to be
funny. For whatever reason, hehad the opportunity to take this iconic photo.
What do you think is the partthat most contributed to that photo taking
nine seconds to get him from thepodium to the vehicle, or the part

(01:06:09):
where they shot him, because Ipromise you one could exist without the other,
but the one other one could notexist. Do you know what I'm
saying. If they didn't shoot him, it's not an iconic photo, it's
just a security issue, and they'rewhisking the protectee away as Trump's been whisked

(01:06:32):
out of there. He was speakingin Vegas and they had some lunatic jump
on the stage and they covered Trumpand moved him off stage. But that's
not how you get iconic photo.You get iconic photo because you shot him,
but you're a lunatic. Continue,I'm sorry. These two men are

(01:06:53):
both elderly. Donald Trump is anelderly man who, for whatever reason,
was given nine seconds to take aiconic photo op during an active shooter of
the situation. Weird situation. We'llfigure that out one day. But what
are we gonna I'm sorry, Ican't what are we going to figure out?
I mean, there's lots so weneed to figure out. You're you

(01:07:14):
think there's going to be a Senatehearing on the speed at which they remove
the protective to the vehicle. Imean, like this, I'm only interested
because this isn't one of the conspiraciesthat I've seen, and I've seen a
lot. Like basically, the campaignshot him, you know, for likes
or votes or something. Right,that's the thing that exists out there.

(01:07:39):
But now the conspiracy is the speedat which the Secret Service moved. I
don't know, it kind of lookedto me like they moved. And remember,
he wanted his shoes. He reallywanted his shoes. I'm sure they're
very nice shoes. But like itlooked like the speed at which because initially

(01:07:59):
they get him down and they coverthem, right, because shots are still
happening. That's that's their job.You got to cover this dude, so
if another shot rings in, it'snot hitting him. And then they figure
out they're going to move. Youcan tell that they are setting their the
plan to move. Like if youwatch this, even if you don't have
audio, you can see what's goingon. And then they do this,

(01:08:24):
they encapsulate him and from the encapsulation, probably to their dismay. Admittedly,
right, if you're if if you'rein protection, you you want to protect
e to go one hundred percent withthe program he did the he did the
fifth thing. I don't know whatyour beef is, ma'am, other than

(01:08:46):
that you're a lunatic. Survival ofthat and and bouncing right back and going
right to his convention is being conveyedin the media world as a sinus straight
yeah, yeah, yeah, youknow why because they shot him and and
then he went. Did you seethe video of the people in the hospital
where they took him. There's athere's a dude filming in the waiting room,

(01:09:10):
right, because they're just they're justat the hospital doing hospital stuff,
right, little hospital there, Butleror whatever, and all of a sudden,
here comes secret service vehicles. Sothey're looking out the window of the
waiting room and they see, youknow, black SUVs. They see dudes
in suits with guns, they seeyou know, guys dressed in like swat
gear, and they realized because youknow, they're watching the news, they

(01:09:34):
realized Trump's been shot and they're bringinghim in. And these people assumed that
the person that was going to comethrough that front door and they brought him
through the front door was you know, essentially gonna be they were gonna have
to carry him in. Who's gonnabe on a stretcher because they they they
understood that he was shot in thehead. And then when they see him

(01:09:57):
walking the and like the energy withinthe room, there's a dude in a
wheelchair who stands up. Now,I want to be clear, I don't
think he was paralyzed, but holycrap, if he was, right,
put that in a campaign commercial andyou walk again, and joy Read can
lose your damn mind. No,I was just a dude waiting, a

(01:10:19):
bunch of people waiting, and theysee that, and then you know what
they do after they move him throughand he's on his own accord, they
start praying for him. These arethe scenes that drive joy Read nuts.
Man, she just can't handle this. So now she's beefing over transfer time

(01:10:41):
from podium to vehicle is wild.This current president of the United States is
eighty one years old and has COVID? Should he be fine in a couple
of days? Doesn't that convey exactlythe same thing that he no? Because
statistically he should be fine in acouple of days. That's the based on
what we are told of his health, regardless of his age and his vaccinated

(01:11:06):
status. Plus he had COVID before, he should be fine. And it
will not have people invoking in adivine intervention, right, And this woman
is going to compare these two things. He's strong enough older than Trump to
have gotten something that used to reallybe fatal to people his age. So

(01:11:30):
if he does fine out of itand comes back and is able to do
rallies, isn't that exactly the same? I mean, it's not exactly the
same, It's not same incident,but it's it's an elderly man through out
of an illa. It should it'swhat the what are you talking about?
How much are you having to scrapethe barrel to figure out, you know,

(01:11:53):
to figure anything out? Yeah,you know, you know what It's
like. It's like Eddie Rickenbacker,Audie Murray, He's Audio, who's the
Vietnam dude who literally like basically savedan entire unit and then literally hold dead
too. His name escapes me.One of the most badass soldiers you ever

(01:12:14):
heard of. Joe Biden, samething, he's Desmonds. These are the
by the way, these are allpeople whose names if you don't know,
you've heard, and many of youdo know because what they what they did
was was like I don't know ifi'd have it in me. Joe Biden,

(01:12:39):
I had COVID more than once.Where's my medal? Ross? Do
you have a medal for Russa rossaroster you could get a medal too.
I think he had COVID medals foreverybody. I think they're just but her
because it wasn't their guy. Yeah, as creepy as that sounds, because
now you've got to wish for Bidenone in the year. And I also
think they realize what's again, wedon't want to see this happen to anyone.

(01:13:01):
By the way, it can beclarified, I want Joe Biden to
not die from COVID, right exactlyright? Yeah, that being said,
yes, if the worst had happenedand this had happened to Joe Biden,
I think I don't think you wouldhave gotten the same reaction. And of
course it's just all hypothetical. Wedon't know, but yeah, don't live
though, I mean, because theywould. There was a good possibility that

(01:13:26):
Joe Biden could have died if thathappened to him, just hitting him in
the ear, going down, beingpushed down, pressed down by the Sea
crush service. He can barely walkup a flight of stairs in the Air
Force one. He Shane Gillis bit. He said that Biden is the only
president you could punch assassinate right.He could barely walk out of the room

(01:13:47):
after addressing the press at the WhiteHouse. He saw him leave the other
day where he's walking out like misterBurns. And then you have more Parkinson
speculation because he he freezes up andhe could barely move and he shuffling out
with that weird gait he has.What do you think would have happened if
that happened to him on stage therein Pennsylvania? It would not have been
the same. And they know itin their butt her over it, and

(01:14:09):
they know how inspir inspirational that photois, and they know they know the
power it's had, and they knowtheir guy could not have done that.
It would have been a completely differentscenario. You know, I'm when I
saw that, I was reminded ofuh Chesty Puller, uh, the arguably
the most famous marine and everything hewent through just you know, really the

(01:14:32):
same thing. Oh when he wasshuffled away from the podium. Yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah. You knowthat's how Puller became the most decorated
marine. And it's also why Marinessay good night to him and his ghost,
which is kind of a weird thing. But Joe Biden, same thing.
Absolutely so frustrating. When Van Jonesstarts to make sense, you know

(01:14:59):
that the whole thing is just screwed. Man. A bullet couldn't stop Trump.
A virus just stopped Biden. You'vegot the nominees of this party getting
their butts kissed. Biden's getting hisbutt kicked by his own party. The
Democrats are coming apart, the Republicansare coming together. The only thing I'll

(01:15:20):
say is Van, you are atthe RNCs. So the fact that Republican
candidates are getting their quote butt kissed, that's what it's there for. That's
like pick up a program, brograb one. Just look at it.
It's very funny and not just them, like do you see the like Jim
Justice's dog, the West Virginia governor, probably the next senator from West Virginia,

(01:15:45):
his dog has become like everybody's runningaround geeking out over the damn dog.
I know that a lot of youwant to meet my little buddy.
So if baby dog could come onout here now as the world old to
watch us. You didn't really expectthat, did you. But with that

(01:16:05):
being said, let me just sayjust this. She makes a smile and
she loves everybody. And how couldthe message possibly be any more simpler than
just that. It is so wildthat literally the media is taken to attacking
the dog. The dog is theproblem, and it's not the first time,

(01:16:30):
Like what do they say much likeWest Virginia, the dog is illiterate
and fat, or something like we'rein such a weird place, man,
I guess maybe it's better to attacka dog because you're like, you know,
something happens with the dog, andI incited it with my language.
At least it's a dog. Idon't know. I don't know. We

(01:16:50):
got we got more audio a littlefrom JD. Van, So I'm gonna
grab that for you, and let'ssee here. Yeah, I can probably
fit all this in. We'll touchon that and also a little South Carolina
story to share with you. Sowe'll try to jam it all in here
in the last half hour of theshow. But if somebody knows what the

(01:17:11):
hell Joy reads on or whether conspiracyis, you got to help me out
here. These two men are bothelderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man
who, for whatever reason, wasgiven nine seconds to take a iconic photo
op during an active shooter, rightright. Obviously he was coordinating with the
AP reporter because they're all such goodbuddies. Lunacy man. All right,

(01:17:34):
a twenty three, we'll take abreak, be back, hang on,
But I don't know, probably Isee somebody counted the articles this dude was
all in on. Trump is aRussian asset, right, So the the
bigger of the Russian collusion, right, because you had you had different variations
you had. He's a useful idiottoo. He is a Manchurian candidate,

(01:17:58):
right, and Max Boot was allin on this stuff and he just got
swallweld, which I think is amazing. So if you don't know what I
mean, his wife was just arrestedfor be it a spy for Korea,

(01:18:19):
South Korea. This is weird.Basically, she didn't register as for an
agent. She's doing some stuff.So maybe spy is a strong one,
but it is the word it is. That's it is why that law exists,
right as a way to apprehend peoplewe think are spying. So,
mister Russian asset, Russian collusion columnist, dude buried to a spy. And

(01:18:42):
by the way, when you lookat the picture of the two should have
been obvious. It just like swallowellright, He's like, why is this
smoke show? Chinese woman want tohook up with my dumb ass? Oh
yeah, yeah yeah, And ofcourse he's he's one of the most vo
Has anybody ever thought me? Hasyou ever thought Marky might be a spy?
I just assume that, like everyfemale I've ever been with has been

(01:19:04):
a spy, because I'm that important, you know what I mean? Like,
well, if they weren't a spy, I'd be like, oh my
god, you're not black widow.What It's like every dude wants to be
James. Yeah right. Plus,you know, don't take this the wrong
way, but you're you're punching outsideyour weight class too, right, like
your your wife could is good foryou because you younger than you, you

(01:19:30):
know what I'm saying. So likeyou scored, you scored big, but
then in your mind you got tobe like, yeah, maybe she's a
spy, right, never crossed yourmind ever? Ever? No, it
every day does oh? Okay,every day? Good good good. So
And it's funny because uh I saidthis to Ross off the air and like
the immediate dude answer is like,that'd be amazing. That's what I'm saying.

(01:19:54):
Guys are such guys man because you'rejust like, ah, now I'm
involved in the cloak and dagger.Well look, you know, I don't
know if she's using his she's obviouslyusing his connections and you know, the
circle within Washington that's gonna be veryuseful for what she was doing. But
spy might be a strong word.But still, like if like the amount

(01:20:15):
of hypocrisy to run that game forthat long and then literally, you know,
roll over in bed, there's yourspy. I find that wildly amusing
because that's because I'm a horrible person. So that's fine. All right,
Hey, you know somebody asked methis the other day, and I did

(01:20:35):
not have an answer, but maybewe have an answer. What happened to
the frat boy, the fratborough partyat Chapel Hill with all that money that
was raised, Well, they wereup at the RNC. Yep, yep.
And in fact, let's listen toa little bit of this. Bob
tried to take down the American flagon our campus. We knew we couldn't

(01:20:58):
let that happen. We stood guard, we held it up, and we
did not let it fall. Itwas all about respect, not just for
the cloth, but for everything thatthe flag stands for. Too many people
have sacrificed everything for it. Theleast we can do was keep it fly,

(01:21:23):
and tonight we are proud to honorour flag again. All right.
So you know, pretty very redmeaty I call, you know, certain
people that they're going to bring.It's not a bad thing, but like
you know, that's pure raw rossstuff. But I did hear Kyle in
News in his story was saying thatthey're planning like flag a paloozer or something.

(01:21:45):
So I'll be interested. I'm assumingmy invites on the way. We'll
see. But yeah, so alittle confirmation that they do have some planned
I don't know the details of it, so so that didn't surprise me that
they showed up. I'll tell youwhat did. If you're the director of

(01:22:06):
the Secret Service, why did yougo to the RNC yesterday? Cheetle is
the woman's name? Like that blowsby? Well, how did you think
that was gonna go? I mean, obviously the Secret Service is a component
of the r n C as theyare the d n C. Right,

(01:22:27):
secret Service protection not just for uhfor Trump, but you know, uh,
uh there are let's see because RFKhe's got Secret Service now and I
think I don't think he was speaking, but I think he showed up to
the thing, So like I getthat, But why would you show up
knowing that it's going to go likethis? They just mobed this woman.

(01:22:55):
You are an house the president,the pest president, the u answer to
the years, the pensident, thepresidents that have had this good of protect
her from crying out Like it's soweird to me, why would why?
And then the like uh and thento like wander into the crowd like what

(01:23:17):
was what was hoping to be accomplished? Her? She doesn't need to be
there? Uh in there? Shecould be in a in a a an
area where the public can't access,and there's a lot of those very there's
there's all these different layers. Youstill gonna get members of the media in
there because they can pretty much gowherever they want. But that was it

(01:23:38):
was just so strange to me thatshe showed up there and I don't know,
maybe that's her taking her medicine andshe's gonna claim. Oh, I
went and I talked to the people, and you know, I've got a
lot to think about. But likeevery day, every day, it's it's
new stuff. If you haven't seenthe picture that Elon must tweeted out yesterday,

(01:23:58):
I was gonna retweet it, andthen I got sight tracked on something
like you can literally see you cansee the secret Service ladder and then like
ten feet away is shooters ladder onthe outside of this building. It's just
it's just wild. We find outtoo that where is this do We're getting

(01:24:20):
a more definitive timeline now they're sayingtwenty six minutes maybe too long of a
time for law enforcement had between thetime that they noticed something was wrong to
the shooting. Right now, newreports out say maybe in as little as
ten minutes, you're ten minutes stillseems like an eternity to do something,

(01:24:45):
doesn't it? Again, in yourmind the way that you process that,
how you think secret service and protectionworks. Ten minutes is a lifetime.
So much of what they do ispredicated on instantaneous reaction, right that you
train for, and you train forand then you kick in. Muscle memory

(01:25:08):
kicks in and you do these things. So to have ten minutes and knowing
that this dude went and literally hita hit the snipers with a rangefinder.
Now he's carrying ladders that did looklike a five foot ladder, not a
twelve foot ladder. But it's hard. You know, you're making a judgment
call based on a photo that's takenfrom some distance away, but it's like

(01:25:34):
it's not even around like the sideof the building. It's in the parking
lot next to another ladder, which, by the way, that's kind of
weird, don't you Why wouldn't youuse the other ladder that is clearly there
that I don't know, will probablynever know, but get stranger by the

(01:25:55):
day. And then for her toshow up. She didn't really answer any
questions. She just kind of stoodthere and got yelled at, but absolutely
wild. All right, speaking ofwild, you like rain, raised agic's
he's got rain for you. Yeah, we do lots of it for days
and days, and mostly when youwant to do something fun, that's when
he's gonna get you. So yep, pairing up the animals, right,

(01:26:16):
he and she all that stuff,and over the next let's go five to
seven days across the state anywhere between. Now this's on average anywhere between,
we're looking at two to up tofour or five inches of rain cumutively,
So that adds it up. Ifyou get hit multiple times, you could
be by this time next week fivesix inches of rain in some spots.

(01:26:36):
So that's good. Because a newdrought monitor actually just popped out. It
comes out every Thursday, in caseyou didn't know. And most of the
state's actually under some level of drought. Yadkin County Columbus County both under extreme
drought. That's D three. Sothe rainfall a lot of us in severe
to extreme drought to moderate drought acrossthe area. You get the message.

(01:26:58):
Cloud sunshine today, still warming,humid, many of us will still be
in the nineties, probably lower ninetiesthough, and then tonight, we'll see
that chance of showers and thunderstorms.Let's start picking up here this afternoon into
tonight, and then overnight we're inthe sixties and then the upper eighties tomorrow,
probably been an upper eighties through theweekend too, with scattered showers and
thunderstorms each day on the buys willbe toward the afternoon hours, but some

(01:27:19):
days it'll be during the morning too, So that's more likely to happen over
the upcoming weekend. So we gotdoesn't work great, but I promise there
will be dry hours where you're gonnabe kind of like, well, rare
is wrong again. There isn't ait's gonna be like that case. See
you know the days where you're likeyou can go outside. Yeah, we
have a tally board. Day waswrong, right, and we just flip

(01:27:42):
right and there's more checks. There'smore checks next to the days he was
right, right, right, yeah, yeah, right, yes, So
it'll be like that where you're kindof out out about like, well,
where's all the rain, and thenin the afternoon it'll be like pouring.
You'll be like, oh, thereit is. So that's the kind of
uh kind of way going to beprobably over the weekend. We're it'll be
the best chance of the dry hourswill be in the first part of the

(01:28:03):
day. Not saying it won't rain, but you know, the trend is
wetter weather ahead and it's probably gonnalast into next week. Okay, all
right, well there you go.Everything's ruined for the server future. Thank
you, sir, appreciate it.Okay, all right, and we got
Jeff Bellinger Bloombird news coming up next. Hang on, good morning. Case

(01:28:25):
it was a split decision on thestreet. Yesterday, the Nasdaq had its
worst day in over a year.It fell five hundred and twelve points as
some of the biggest tech components tooka hit. The S and P five
hundred lost seventy nine points, butthe Dial climbed two hundred forty four points,
six tens percent to a new recordhigh. Could turn things around now
today the Dow futures have been pointinglower all morning, S and P and

(01:28:48):
NASDAK futures been pointing higher. TheLabor Department just reported the two hundred forty
three thousand workers signed up for unemploymentbenefits last week. That was twenty thousand
more than the prior Federal Reserve officialsfrom around the country indicate the economy was
growing just slightly in recent weeks.Reports from some reasons a region said there

(01:29:09):
was no growth or even a declinein activity. Price pressures continued to ease.
Warner Brothers Discovery is reportedly thinking aboutsplitting its streaming and studio businesses from
its legacy TV operations. The FinancialTime says a split is among a number
of things being considered to boost sharevalue. The report says Warner Brothers has

(01:29:30):
also looked into the possibility of sellingsome assets. Domino's pizza shares lower and
pre market trading. Second quarter salesfor Domino stores that have been around a

a new plant in Canada. Fordoriginally expected to make an electric sport utility
vehicle at the factory in Ontario,now says the plant will build its popular
super duty F series pickup and thatwill begin in twenty twenty six. Casey,

(01:30:42):
ALRIGHTY, appreciate it. Jeff,have yourself a good one. We'll
chat tomorrow. Sir, Kay,you have a good one too, take
care? All right? Oh that'sinteresting. Wow, Okay, all right,
I don't watch that show anymore becauseit just got awful. Ross.
You guys watch the Boys on Amazon. Okay, apparently they had to they

(01:31:06):
had to change, They had tolike reshoot their season finale due to the
Trump assassination. So I can onlyimagine what's in there. Well, that's
nice. We're just Russ and Everchatting off the air. The Joe Biden
needs to stop doing interviews, ifif if I'm advising him. I don't

(01:31:28):
know how they keep getting progressively worse. But this bet one is it's something
man, I would play you justjust play one cut audio. Just because
we have a very short time here. Lloyd Austin has been his his defense
secretary. I think for what theentire time, right, one would think

(01:31:53):
you'd have a little time to getto know him, although we did have
the story saying he hadn't met withhis cabinet in full for since October's something
so I don't know, but likeI want you to imagine Trump saying this
in an interview, and I thinkyou'll get it. And so it's all
about it's all about treating people withdignity, and it's about making sure that

(01:32:15):
we're coming. For example, lookat the heat. I'm getting it because
I named a yeah, starturing defensefor a black man, I named Kanji
Brown. I mean because of thepeople I've named, But what all right,
so Lloyd Austin, that would behis name. And arguably, military

(01:32:39):
and changes within the military have beena high priority with this administration. Right.
We've seen a lot of stuff,a lot of stuff that people don't
feel is bringing about a better force. But they've been active and you don't
remember his name. But like,strangely enough, that was the that was
almost the least troubling part of that. He listened to him. He sounds

(01:33:05):
not awake, and so it's allabout it's all about treating people with dignity,
it's about making sure. I justcan't what was the what was the
other thing ross the quote you toldyou were telling me, you're saying he's
not worried about black support now becausethey don't pay attention till after labor Day.

(01:33:27):
I couldn't pinpoint what is the mostracist part of or the you know,
the super racist part of that.But that sounds super racist, right,
And it's not even what does thatmean? These are all out,
they're all doing the car things,spending cars around. What is he implying?
No idea, but that'd be etinterviewed. The more that's coming out,
it's just bad. And it's noteven about the flubs and the glitches
coming out of his mouth. It'sthe whole package altogether. You look at

(01:33:50):
him, his eyes are closed,he can barely talk. He's like whispering.
The dude looks like he's two secondsaway from death. It's just such
a bad look
