Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, we'll talk about that. We'll put that in a
couple of good ones this morning. It's just insanity. I
don't know. I don't know how the news cycle got
truncated and I didn't see it, but uh whoo, all right,
So we got monkeys and this the remember the monkey
story I told you about with the horror monkeys on
the loose in Saint Louis basically research monkeys that escaped

(00:24):
or whatever down in Louisiana a month ago. It was
kind of what prompted this because they all had like
a bunch of STDs and everyone was freaking out, like
you know, like they were going to come in contact
and hook up with the monkey accidentally. So that was fun.
And now the city of Saint Louis there they have
some monkeys. I don't know that they know that their
research or if they have STDs. I'm gonna assume they do.

(00:48):
But it has created an actual problem that I did
not I guess. I guess it is predictable when you
think about it, but it just got my mind because like,
this is gonna suck for law enforcement. I don't know
if I want to tell you yet or just leave
it as a tease. Let me give you the rest

(01:10):
of the teases because it's gonna suck for law enforcement,
and I can foresee bigger problems because you know, I'm
slippery slope, guys, So we'll do the slippery slope thing
here in a moment. We got Florida people like I
got a man and a woman. So that's fun. One
of the one of the worst quotes I've ever had

(01:36):
to read in a story, and that's that's one of
the Florida stories. So we'll get to that. Sara was
waiting for some to load. Also, in addition to that,
we have to have a big AI discussion. In fact,
why don't I go ahead and start there? So if
you do, I guess if you didn't know, we the

(01:58):
Pentagon is gonna let one of the ais literally into
the system. Now I'm sure it's not the consumer one
we use, yeah, in all its applications, but of course,
since it's the Trump administration doing it, it's the end
of the world and it's Skynet, and maybe it is.
I don't know, you know how we feel on the show.

(02:18):
But here's the headline. Hegseth announces Grock access to classified
Pentagon networks now. Of course, Newsweek's going to write it
as aggressively as possible. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Monday
that must artificial intelligence chatbot GROCK will be integrating integrated
in Pentagon networks, which will include some classified systems, as

(02:39):
part of a broader initiative to incorporate AI technology across
the military. Okay, Ross, are you comfortable with that AI
up in the system to the I mean, we don't
know what extent it's going to be, but like this
is the perpetuation of how Terminator played out, right.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I mean it's going there. Yeah, I mean I'm not
comfortable with it, but I don't know if we can
avoid it.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But that was the launching point, right, it got into
the military system, and then it was too late. What
if another problem emerges? What if it's just really distracting.
What if while GROC is trying to help the troops
do whatever they're doing, she's constantly flirting with them. Because
this is the problem with the chatbot rights as evidenced

(03:22):
on that show. On the show, did you guys haven't
used the ad the GROC? What is is that? What
is her name? Does you have a name.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Uh, just slutty grock. Annie.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I think, oh Annie, that's right. Every moment you're talking
to that thing, it's it's a double entendre. I don't
know how to describe it. If you haven't heard it,
it's just and you can you can gauge it. But
like if you know you're some soldier, Wow, that's a
big missile you have there, isn't it soldier? But you
and I put that on the side of that back

(03:54):
Japanese destroyer over there right Like the whole I'm just
trying to incorporate utilizing it and exactly what you would
use it for and all the different ways that it
could go wrong, because you know, we love covering out
on the show every time one of these ais flips
out and does something like makes all the Nazis black
or Microsoft's who went full German Autocrat and then they

(04:21):
just let it, you know, talk about how great Hitler
was for a day. You know, these are the stories
we like to watch. You're gonna get Ai up in there.
I'm just wondering how many different ways this could go wrong,
or on the flip side, how many different ways it
could go right, Because you know, if you really think
about it having that much processing power and the ability

(04:42):
to do things like that on the fly fast, hopefully correctly.
There has to be some sort of advantage because China's
not there. I don't know, have you guys seen the videos.
These are the videos that aren't supposed to get out,
and apparently it's a it's a problem over there. So
China is trying to crack autonomous driving vehicles, you know,

(05:07):
like the like Tesla's will Do or those those crazy
taxis in San Francisco Weimo or whatever they are, except
they only put out videos, very short videos of where
it's going really really right. And there's all these videos
emerging from just random citizens because these things are flipping out. Man.
I saw a video yesterday of it looks like a

(05:27):
like a mini delivery, an Amazon delivery van, and this
thing is tearing across a dirt field, jumping in the
air because there's like borrow ditches and stuff just losing
its damn mind and people are running from it. So
I don't know if China's quite there with all their
stuff yet. But you know, the waymos in San Francisco

(05:50):
are a problem too. He blocking streets, then one driving
down the light rail track the other day, so you
know other countries are going for it. I'm just trying
to figure out. I will only say this and this
is I'm glad it's rocking there. Remember, our big concern

(06:11):
is going back to chat GPT and the Black Nazis
is once these things get baked into the system or
made part of the system, you're at the mercy if, however,
that thing was programmed. And clearly with a lot of
the other ais, they're they're woked up. So you get
to go ahead and get like you do you want

(06:33):
the non woke gap I think in the UH in
the military setting, but that's just me if you're gonna
use it. Although I think I think this is where
politics will get. I think if they go ahead and
get this in there and it's functional and all that,
and the next Democrat, if there's if they're partisan, will
just rip this out and put their own thing in.

(06:54):
This will be another one of these changing of the
guard things, just like you know, uh, presidential appointments.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh yeah, going back to here, you know any sexual
content stuff?

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Do you see that GROC was banned in Malaysia and
Indonesia because of that reason, Because of sexual content.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's actually is it more? I
thought it was more than that, But those Indonesia is
a big one. Indonesia's what the fourth most populous country,
It's it's US, India, US, India, China, and then I
think Malaysia, right or Indonesia. Excuse me, I think Indonesia

(07:32):
right after that. Yeah, yeah, I believe that. But remember
Indonesia and Malaysia are Muslim majority countries, so I'm not
surprised by that. Is groc can you use groc and like,
we can't use it in Iran right now? Oh wait, no,
hold on, I actually I saw something. I think they
turned the internet kind of back on. I mean, I
don't know if you guys know this. Basically Iran's been

(07:54):
cut off for four days. Yeah, they did. The Internet's
back partially back on this morning, though text are still
not working, I guess for phones, and you can call,
you can call out, you can call out.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Well, I know a lot of people are using are
using starlink as well.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, well that's how they're getting the
videos and stuff out of there. But you know, as
far as the uh, the actual government's concerned, they've been
keeping that stuff shut down. Yeah where is this, dude?
Do I swear I saw it this morning?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay, well let me do this because I want to
make sure I give you the right stuff. Okay, here
it ish. Sorry, I told you, like I have my
prep packet, but then I have all this stuff I
saw this morning, and I'm just like working off links
I was sending myself. I was very busy, very busy
this morning, and you will soon understand why, because I
was working on something very special. All right, All right,

(08:47):
well that's gonna load. Here's the other thing. Just let
me just go and get this out there and then
we can take phone calls on the military AI stuff.
I'm really curious what you think. And this monkey story
is more than just a monkey story. So these monkeys
in Saint Louis somebody, you know, somebody reported them, and

(09:07):
then other people reported them and it turned into a
whole news thing. We talked about it yesterday. They were
first spot at actually Thursday, and you're a park in
the north part of the city, and so you have
Department of Health trying to figure this out. I think
they're assuming they might be somebody's pets, probably rather than
research monkeys with STDs, but you can't be too careful.

(09:30):
So once the story went viral, this is the problem
that emerged. Everybody has access to AI ross. Do you
see where I'm going with this. This is everybody can
really quickly find the monkeys and send a tip in.
And apparently Saint Louis police have been overwhelmed with AI

(09:54):
photos of the monkeys all over Saint Louis. So like,
try to actually figure out whether that is a legitimate
tip or not, because a lot of them are just
coming in that you can you know, you can e
E tip the police department. They're just sending in these
pictures and you know, a lot I guess you could
figure out if they're AI or not. But for some

(10:16):
of them they don't know, so that the police will
literally show up there. There's no monkeys there, and police
are and people are having a field day with this.
And while it's monkeys we're talking about, I want to
be very clear, there's a lot of really twisted people here,
like you know this. I know this. We see the
news cycle, we see the the uh these stories where

(10:37):
just people do horrible things for no reason. How do
you think AI and this thing I just told you
about would have played out. Let me pick something famous,
John Benet Ramsey. You see where I'm going with this.
You think there's not some weirdo creeper who wants to
waste people's times and revel in others misery that that

(10:59):
they're not going to see this and maybe be inspired.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't be saying this, but it's the
first thing that popped into my head. Some low lives
who want to inhibit the ability of police to maybe
find a missing kid or something, or there's a political angle,
and then all of a sudden you get a bunch
of activists that start sending all of this crap to
overwhelm the system. That's the thought that occurred to me. Ross.

(11:22):
Does that sound crazy? I don't think that sounds crazy
at all, that somebody could do this. We already saw
that woman who tried to file rape charges with which
what turned out to be AI produced evidence like, this
is a whole nother This is a whole nother thing. Man.
So police and says have not found the monkeys, but
they have like a thousand leads, and they had some

(11:44):
they had some photos that people had posted. Here's the
monkeys all inside a giant claw machine, a chuck e Cheese.
You know what? That one could be true, right, I
would think monkeys would like to get into some you know,
go to a chuck e Cheese. They probably have fun there. Uh,
let's see, there's the monkeys at the zoo. I don't

(12:04):
know why you'd bother they have monkeys at the zoo.
Oh they're on an elephant. Okay, all right, I don't
think those are it. And they just have a whole
bunch of these. Ross this when the monkeys are at
a strip club. I bet they investigated that one. Huh
probably set what five six squads out there? Yeah? Yeah,

(12:28):
So now you run into this and I think this
is where they're screwed. They've literally asked people to stop
doing this, which is the worst thing you can ask
the internet. We know this. The worst thing you can
ask the Internet is to not do this thing that
some of them find hilarious. So I think this is
going to spin wildly out of control. Meanwhile, no monkeys,

(12:51):
so I don't know, we'll find them. Six nineteen hang on,
all right, So Ross and I are just talking off
the air. I look, I have some genuine concerns about
different ways that people for fun reasons but also for
nefarious reasons can really really because I don't know if
you know this right now, we're kind of in an
era where people enjoy screwing with law enforcement. I don't

(13:12):
know if you guys got the memo. So you know
this scenario in Saint Louis where there's monkeys loose and
people are having fun and they're putting photos which are
then being sent to police by people who want to
waste their time. Hey, the monkeys are here, the monkeys
are here. Well, Saint Louis police were dumb and said
stop doing it. So now they're going to get a
million more. But let's take this to humans. You got

(13:33):
a missing kid, some sicko wants to waste time, or
let me give you another scenario Luigi. All right, So
let's say let's say you're one of these black block
groups whatever, and you decide you're gonna go shoot yourself
a CEO Luigi style, and there's a man hunt with

(13:56):
for somebody. You got partial description kind of like what
you have with Luigi. You don't think that somewhat organized.
I know they're just a concept, but organized group of
these commies could put a bunch of photos and really
try to misdirect what's going on in those in those
few short you know, that that window where you really

(14:19):
need to get a handle on somebody that you're looking
for so they can't get away. Like this could be manipulated.
So Ross was saying, maybe something encoded in the photo
that says I'm AI. And I started thinking, we have
this with printers, but I also don't like the concept
of it. So if you buy a printer and I don't,
I don't know to the extent that they still do this.

(14:40):
I'm assuming they do. There's a little thing, or there
was a little thing where if the FBI got that
piece of paper that was printed, there's coding in there
that tracked it back to the individual printer. But maybe
rather than individually identifying where it was processed, maybe there's
some coding that just says yes, I am a or

(15:00):
parts of me are or parts aren't. I don't know
the answer, but reading that monkey story this morning, my
mind just started racing in the different ways that people
could manipulate this. It was very interesting. I heard a ruckus,
I would say, a pretty significant ruckus in your studio,

(15:23):
and you are not going to believe what I found
in there. Hang on, just a six snapped a photo
because I didn't think you'd believe me. There we go. Yeah,
so check that out.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, no, I've seen the photo. I'm not sure what
you're talking about it.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
And knowing that clearly looks like three monkeys is wearing
fluty lingerie in your studio, that's absurd. Actually, that actually
looks like three harambe's wearing slutty lingerie in your studio.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
And those are those would be guerrillas or something.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
I like, Yeah, he's running a whole primate thing in there.
So yeah, I arguably I would rather be greeted by
three white faced capuchins and slutty lingerie than three harambees.
I feel like, what was the move? Try to I
don't know why. I just had this weird flashback from childhood.

(16:14):
Wasn't there a movie where some guy it's a comedy,
but basically the premise is he's about to get raped
by a bunch of gorillas? Did I just fever dream that?
Does that? Does that ring any bells?

Speaker 3 (16:26):
No?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I dead does not, dude.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
It was kind of It was one of those cut
gags kind of like where the cops keep in Police Academy,
keep going into that one bar, the Blue Oyster or
whatever it was called. Dude, All fine, I don't know
why I just remembered that, but also I hope I
find it because I don't want to think I thought
it up. So we'll look into that. So we got
that right there. Oh yeah, okay, So here we go.

(16:54):
We have seven NFL games left seven, We're down to seven.
The four division rounds are set. Half the teams are
getting screwed on rest, which this is so solvable. I
know that. The reason it's not is because the TV
networks want to be able to want to have something
for both days.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
But remember well, I mean and also the Monday night broadcast.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, and that's that's the other thing. Those are the networks.
Then you now have two different streaming services you're doing
football on. Right there are five different services. If you
want to catch every single NFL game, there's five. There's
what five different services, CBS, ABC, NBC Prime, and Netflix.

(17:41):
Am I missing something? I think it's those five? So
you got to keep all them happy. The way to
not have this be a thing is when you go
to the playoffs. Okay, the week before you're gonna have
to or the first week of the playoffs, you'll have
to stagger, but you'll stagger buy division AFC, NFC honor

(18:04):
those staggered days. What I mean by that is one Saturday,
one Sunday. Then the next week, which would be this
division round. You keep that so everyone is on seven
days rest, and then next week you got the AFC,
NFC championship. Honor the days, and then by super Bowl
you just waited two weeks. So it doesn't matter. This

(18:24):
is this shouldn't be a problem, and yet it's a problem.
Ross you're one of the teams impacted.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Your very first up.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Bill's Broncos Saturday, they'll be the first game forty nine
or Seahawks. The nightcap Sunday is going to be interesting.
The nightcap is Rams Bears. The first game though, Texans Patriots.
Did you all watch the game last night? The Texans

(18:52):
looked really good.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
The Texans have looked good most of the season. Their
defense is ridiculously.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
They destroyed him yesterday. They got a absolutely Aaron Rodgers
never ran that much in his life.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
They're responsible too, right for his last what could be
his last thrown touchdown of his career. Correct, Yeah, because
they took it back.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Wa wa'.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh man. I don't know is there enough Iahwuasca to
get over that. Look, he's gonna go into the Hall
of Fame. That's the thing too. Everyone's like, ah, Aaron Rodgers.
I understand that some people he's very polarizing, but ultimately,
I honestly, I don't know that he cares. And I
think that that. I don't know if that's an offshoot
of the Ayahuascar or whatever. I don't think he cares.

(19:40):
Have you seen him flip out on criticism. I've seen
him address it, but he's never he doesn't go on
at like one in the morning and post weepy twitt
it tweets.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I think it comes down to age as well. I
mean he's been in the league forever. I mean, this
dude is ancient. He's three years older, right, he is
so old. He's forty two. Yeah, he is as old
as dirt.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well, let's not say old as dirt. We don't have
to quite go that route though.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Well I say that because we're older than him. But
whenever they broadcast his age in the NFL, they act
like he's the oldest person to ever live still a lot.
He's forty two, but yeah, I mean he is forty two,
so he's probably, you know, he might want to do
something different with his life besides getting beat up every Sunday.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Oh, I mean he's pretty Monday a yeah. I mean
does he have anything else to prove?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
At that point?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, I know, it's like, look, he's gonna go in
the Hall of Fame. Yeah, unless there's some weird thing
that comes out, and look, you do it? Do you
want to do it? And what Here's the thing if
I'm Aaron Rodgers, would I have rather went out losing
a playoff game? Or would I have rather signed up

(20:49):
for Dan Marino's last season?

Speaker 4 (20:51):
Right?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Well, I mean when you're listen, when you've been really
really really really really good at something in your life, right,
he's been at the pinnacle, at the top. He's been
at the peak. It's hard hard to walk away from that,
and it's hard to admit that it's over. It really is,
like that's that's a hard thing to do. And some
people go out at the top, like and he listened
Michael Jordan Sanders, right when Michael Jordan retired for the
second time. He should have stayed away, Like I sort

(21:14):
of purged from my mind that he pulled the Yeah,
it's like it never because it's listen, you didn't harness
his reputation. But at the same point, you're seeing somebody
play that wasn't where they were before, right, And it's like,
it's hard to walk away.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
But here's the thing. You're approaching that and I understand
it because I do too, as that's you're not approach
it just from Jordan's perspective, it's kind of from ours too,
because that was our childhood.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So but you know, some
of these guys walk away and like we you know,
do you know who Robert Smith was? He was He
was the Apps. He was absolutely dominating. This is going
back to yours for the Minnesota Vikings running back, so
go back really called Pepper Moss Carter. He was amazing

(22:03):
and he did the Barry sandersy. He just pulled the
plug one day and he said, look, I made a
ton of money. I'm in my you know, I'm in
my early thirties or whatever. He was mid thirties now
early thirties. I've already outlived the normal life. I could
probably do two or three more seasons, but I'm just
likeck of getting my butt kicked every day.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, you're talking about Robert Smith from The Cure, No, sure, yes, yeah,
yeah yeah. And for him to be able to balance
the musical career with the the athletic career, yeah, astounding,
you know what I mean. But even yeah, he had
to walk away.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
But you know, there are a lot of really upset
Vikings fans when when he went away. I got it, man,
I got it. Yeah. He Uh, let's see how old
was when he decided he was done.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
I mean, and the thing is too right really mentally,
there's still the champion they always were. But the body
does what the body does.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
And he, you know, he he has a very successful
careers and analysts doing college football for Foxtow so and
I'm sure he doesn't get kicked in the ribs twenty
two times each day, so he's loving it. But I
interviewed him when I was in Minneapolis for some Vikings
thing we were doing. They had some of the former
players there, and I believed him when he said he

(23:20):
thought it was the right decision. Still does, loves Vikings,
loves Minneapolis, loves you know all you know, said all
the stuff he's going to. But I sat in a
room with this man and just kind of bit around
the edges, and he's like, no, best decision I ever made.
I'm healthy. He goes. He was started talking about some
other guys you know that stayed in the league or
in the league for a long time, and he started

(23:40):
listing all the stuff they deal with as they're getting
into their forties and fifties. Some of these dudes don't
really walk well. Have you ever been to an event
where they have a bunch of old NFL players that
are signing cards or something.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, it's like going to a convention and seeing old wrestlers.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, and they're just kind of slowly meandering over there.
That's because they got there. They got their bodies destroyed
for ten, fifteen, however many years.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
It is.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
So, and Robert Smith's like, yep, didn't have to deal
with that. I got it, man. So uh, let's see
here all right, six forty four here on the CaCO
Day radio program. I don't know, Yeah, I'm trying to
look at these I'm not gonna I'm not gonna grill
you on the Bills Broncos thing I think of these
games right here, These are all really good matchups, like

(24:28):
they should be very interesting forty nine or Seahawks. They
hate each other. The fan bases hate each other. If
you don't know about this, like it's it's arguably one
of the one of the nastiest fan rivalries out there.
Like the amount of police that they have to have
when those two teams meet is staggering and people are

(24:49):
still just beating the crap out of each other, which
is very interesting when you consider San Francisco and Seattle
are the cities at play here. Oh, they hate each other,
so that that's always is what it is. Bears Rams
are just these two teams where it's like you didn't
know what to expect. Remember, remember the Ram was the
Rams opened the season beating Kansas City right in Brazil

(25:12):
or whatever, and the Bears that's been my whole, you know,
my private hell, just because that's my division. So I
don't know Patriots Texans. If the Texans played like they did,
I don't like your guys' chances. And I don't say
that just to be somebody who hates on the Pats
all the time. They looked so good last night. But

(25:32):
also Patriots got some weapons. We'll see, it'll be it's
gonna be a big test of Drake May because that
Texans defense is unforegiving. So we will we will see,
all right. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. So just to recap before a hit break,
Grock's gonna go live in the Pentagon, AI being incorporated

(25:54):
into military systems and I don't know how that's gonna go.
I'm glad if we're going to do it. It's Rock.
But this is also how Skynet happened. Just needed to
put into the system and now you're fighting robots and
eating rats, so fun times. So we have that, and
we have these monkeys on the loose in Saint Louis

(26:17):
and it's you know, it's a little cutesy story. But
the problem is everybody thinks it's funny to make photoshops
of them in different places in Saint Louis, and it's
making the authorities job very difficult because are the monkeys
in the claw machine? Did chuck e cheese? Maybe they
could fit up in there, they'd get in there, but
probably not. And then you strap that what happens if

(26:40):
people want to use this to screw with police looking
for a missing kid because you're all twisted in the head,
or even scarier, what if you want to use it
as part of your way to get away with something,
if you're an activist group, somebody goes out and does something,
here's a partial photo of the suspect, and then all
of a sudden, all these photo tips, which turn out

(27:03):
to be AI, are up, and it's just overwhelms the system.
This is the slippery slope stuff that keeps me up
at night. Six forty seven. If you went a weigh
in eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four coming up on the show also eight oh five,
Senator Ted Budd will join us or an AI version
of him. You'll have to decide. We'll be back. I've
once again gone down a rabbit hole. Wlisha wouldn't have so,

(27:28):
I mentioned earlier in the show, I had this memory
that just popped up. And we're talking about the slutty
Harambes and Ross's studio, which is a real problem, dude,
And I said, I for some reason, I remember a
movie from when I was younger where one of the
gag scenes was some dude is suggestively getting led away

(27:49):
by a gorilla so the gorilla can take advantage of him.
It has played for humor, and I just couldn't remember
what movie it was, so I opened my email and
break there, and I have a bunch of emails. The
problem is ross. Apparently, for some reason in American cinema,
we think the concept of a dude getting assaulted by

(28:12):
a gorilla is hilarious because we keep putting it in movies.
I could, I could spend a whole weekend just watching
movies where at some point a gorilla is going to
assault some poor person for laughs. But many of you
did have The movie I was thinking of it was
Trading Places. Trading Places. There's a scene where one of

(28:33):
the bad guys is in a gorilla suit, gets thrown
in a like a jail, and it just happens to
be in a cell with an actual gorilla who thinks
he's super hot, and you don't show anything and kind
of get led away. So that's what it was, in
case you guys are racking your brain this morning. But again,
it was far more disturbing to see that there are
lots of movies where this is a thing. So there

(28:56):
you go. And then some of you don't know what
a gorilla is because one of you wrote, that's isn't
that what happened to DiCaprio? That was a bear? Okay,
and you're thinking of what's the name of that movie? Reveden,
that's a bear. And then another one of you said,
super Troopers, that's not even the right direction your species.

(29:17):
That's human on fake bear crime and hilarious one of
my favorite scenes of the movie. So just to clarifying
in case you guys were wadding the answer, that is it?
All right? Let me get over to a couple other things.
Reminder of the Senator will join us coming up at
eight oh five. Oh. Ross and I were just talking

(29:39):
about other sports off the air. Yeah, So the reason
the NHL season is going to feel longer this year
because Ross was just going, how long is the hockey season?
So the hockey season started in October and ends in April.
But it's a weird year, and the reason is is
it's Winter Olympics, so well you're gonna have it's like

(30:01):
twenty days or something, nineteen twenty days where there's no
NHL because they all go play their for their countries,
and then you'll come back and finish the season. But
next year, the hockey seasons longer. They're expanding the season,
so it will be longer. So this year will feel
longer because of the pause. Next year will actually have
more matches, and it's not a ton more. I think

(30:23):
they're adding like fifty or sixty hockey matches. But yeah,
so that's what's up with that. We got so much sports.
We got Winter Olympics, Winter Olympics coming up. Super excited
about that. Oh wait, who's screwed with my butt? Bother one?
And there we go? All right, we got Winter Olympics
coming up. One of my favorite moments in all of

(30:46):
Winter Olympics history. Ross, do you have a favorite moment
in Olympic Winter Olympics history? If you had to choose
one favorite moment, I don't know, Like Erica is good?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, well yeah, well I'm trying to let you know,
I was kind of too young to remember that happening,
you know what I mean, Like, what was that eighty three?
Eighty four? When when is that eighty was it?

Speaker 5 (31:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
It was like so yeah, I was one.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Okay, did you.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
You guys actually remember like The big thing that I
actually remember would be the Nancy Carrigan. Uh, Tanya Harder
rat That's what I remember as.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, And it's funny because I don't know why.
My mom loved watching figure skating.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh, we watched it all the time. My mom loves
Scott Hamilton.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, she loves love figure skating man, and uh so
she Yeah, we'd we'd always watch that with the Winter Olympics.
But yeah, that was that was interesting. My favorite recent
moment is Bob Costas's pink eye in so Chy do
we have in the system? By the way I was
looking for it, we gotta have that in assistance. Do

(31:50):
you guys remember that? And and honestly, I don't even
know if I can do it justice? Oh no, somebody
has now were you cattle rustled?

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Do they just get out? Where is this? Oh? Nash County? Okay?
All right, so it's all right, yes, can you hear
the sound of my voice? Apparently somebody's missing eleven cows.
Farmer David Griffin says that eleven cows, Well, he thinks
you're stolen, so and he'd no, man, could you can

(32:23):
tell when your cows get out? Trust me? Fence line
is the just the bane of your existence if you
grew up in an agricultural environment with cows. Okay, Griffin
had recently moved the herd to a new pasture two
miles for the main property with easier access. When he
went to feed them, they were gone. Yeah, it's not
easy to steal eleven cows, but it happens. In fact,

(32:46):
let me tell you one this is so funny the mindset.
One of the biggest scandals that was going on just
as we were heading into the holidays out where I'm from,
is somebody was cattle rustling out there and I think
one of the guys he had fourteen black angus stolen
from him, which we're doing tens of thousands of dollars.

(33:08):
So it's not I don't you know it's count No, no, no, no,
it's it's a really nice new car, is what we're
talking about. So it is not taken lightly, especially with
the margins that a lot of cattle ranchers have. But
as soon as you use the word rustling, everybody wants
to put together a they they want to have town hangings. Again,

(33:28):
it's just funny. It's one thing that never evolved on.
Don't you dare touch our livestock? And rightfully so. The
only evidence behind, according to the farmer is okay, so
he can see the trailer marks. Yeah, that's gonna be
dead giveaway. Personally, I think the cows are and someone
else's pasture. I don't know. Ross. You just started cattle farm,

(33:51):
all right, that's nice. Yeah, you put the new room
on and they have a cattle ranch out back by No.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
It is what I wanted to do after we just
gave birth to their second child. Is I don't have
a fake you know, I have so much time now. Yeah,
you by my time, I'm going to go into cattle wrestling,
that's what yeah ranch, and that's what I did. Yeah,
it's about to be a very busy time of the
year for you too, because you got Calvin coming up.
That's good.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Oh it's not Calvin in midwinter.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
But I have so much time now, so it's great.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Well, but also you'll never have to buy the new
baby beef. That's right right there. All you did was
just go you just got the cop you just want
costco double uh super extreme. And now I.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Know that that's what Josh Allen got his uh, his
his line for uh, for Christmas, like a whole cow
or something.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
You got my yeah, you got about half a half
of a rack there, which, by the way, you don't
want a whole cow, but that's adam thing looks like
the thing they put on Flintstone's his car in the
opening sequence. And it's the funniest thing if nobody's ever
seen one of those, because I brought one of those
when I went home. This is a college I was
little with seven other guys, right, so we had eight
in this house, and so I go back and I'm like,

(35:03):
I'm gonna bring something amazing. And you got to understand,
most of these kids except for two. They're all from
like La Santa Barbara, southern California. They don't know cattle raption.
The other two really don't either, but at least they've
seen them. So I literally transported a half of a
cow intact back and have these guys unloaded. They open

(35:25):
it up and they we won't start for like, what
are we gonna do with that? I'm like, give me
like two hours and we're gonna have the biggest river
roads you've ever seen. It was amazing. But yeah, yeah,
so you're said for life there, especially if they keep
hooking up, are they all? They're probably you're probably gonna
need a bull because I suspect if they were pasture together,
you didn't have a bowl in there right now, so
you're probably just dealing with ladies. But anyway, give the

(35:48):
guys cows back because I'd be mad as hell too.
All right, Sorry, I just saw that. Got a little distracted,
so mentioning the Winter Olympics. They are in Italy this year,
and while I guess technically Milan is the host city,
they're gonna go north for the ski and then they
got they got stuff all over ross. You know what,

(36:09):
Lan's right next to you, right, Tuscany, all right, the
northern region, then Tuscany the other the Winter Olympics in Tuscany.
Well yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact, some of this actually
might be into the going to.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Be endorsed by Ali, they've got to be like a
major sponsor of it. I would imagine.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I did some research. Oligarden is not a sponsors.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
How you have dropped the whoever's in charge of their
marketing or whatever.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
They're your sales Yeah, your sales department.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Learn Chinese, buddy, or like you get your resume ready.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Drop let me let me tell you what. There is
an immense amount of times where every one of the
radio station is asked to brainstorm potential sponsorship ideas. Right,
because we all go to different businesses, we do with
different people. So like annually, Ross and I have to
put list together every year. So you're the Olympics. You

(37:03):
know this what twelve years out or whatever the thing is,
And nobody called Olive Garden to be like, hey, we're
kind of here. You want to be on this, You're
gonna have to purge the whole department. What an absolute?

Speaker 2 (37:15):
They should be sponsoring. They should be catering the food
for the athletes.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
So lousas should look like breadsticks.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yes, I forgot.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Would that be a good taste? I think that would
be an extra good taste? Dude, that would be so funny. Right,
you got the cool runnings Jamaican team, but they're in
a giant breadstick. Yes, there's a lot of ways you
can really corporate up the Olympics if you know, if
you really want to, and it's been done before. And
here's another thing, so we we the Bob cost his

(37:47):
pink Ey was very upset. We don't have it in
the system, and as usually we do, Ross was able
to find it, but it was really hard. And then
it dawned on me, why takedown Nazis have nothing on
the Olympics. Nintendo has nothing on the Olympics, especially if

(38:09):
it's something that's not purely positive it can. They are
so good at purging content the moment it hits. And
you probably saw this with the when you were trying
to watch a video of the opening ceremonies, you know,
the one where they decided to make front of Christ.
Let stop forget that. Oh dear god, Ross, do you

(38:31):
think they're going to do that again in Italy? No,
the home of the Vatican, I don't. I don't think
that that's gonna happen. Technically, the Holy See is home
of the gay especially whatever he do to current leadership
of Italy. Yeah, yeah, I don't think they're gonna pull
any of that crap. But I don't know. It's also Milan,
which is super woke. I don't want to see that.

(38:54):
But I remember trying to get clean audio of some
of that, and I would send myself late to then
put in practice and a Ross then by the time they'd.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Get there, it's gone.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
It's gone. So it came down to literally having to
pull it the moment you saw it.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
So we found the Bob cost Is Costa's pink Eye audio.
But it's from some woman who recorded it to offer
TV and it had like three views. After how many
years has it been? Yeah, you'd probably bumped it up enough.
Now it's gonna get taken down, So thank you for that.
So we didn't find it this from the Sochi Olympics.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
The two greatest things at the Sochi Olympics were not
the Olympics. They were Bob Costas's pink guy. Let's go
ahead and listen to this. They're with me for a moment.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
As I spare my friends in the press office countless inquiries,
I have no choice but to go all Peabody and
Sherman on you for the next couple of nights. Since
I woke up this morning with my left eyes swollen,
shut and just about as red as the old Soviet flag.
According to the NBC doctors here, it's some kind of
minor infection which should resolve itself by the weekend.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Now. Now, the first question I had Ross is probably yours.
Why would Bob cost just put poop on his face?
Is that how you get pink eye?

Speaker 2 (40:06):
This is one of my fears to be on listen. Listen,
So as a kid when you get pink I had
pink eye as a kid that you know, the doctor
you're like, oh, you got allergic conjunctivitis, and you don't
really understand what that means as a kid. And then
you get me pack all right, you go, which you
wouldn't that mean you get time off from school? But
you don't really you know, realize it means you had
poop in your eye. As an adult, it's one of
my fears that like I'm gonna get pink eye because

(40:26):
like I'm like dealing with you.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Know, oh, there's so much poop in your life, a
billion pets.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, and then I'm dealing with like a kid and
changing diapers every day, and yeah, it is the thing
that I fear that like I'm not you know, I'm
gonna be tired and not wash my hands as good
and then I'm gonna have pink eyed. Then everybody's gonna
be like rosa poop in his eye. Like it's a fear,
It's an irrational fear.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
It so we thousand percent the amount of times that
it has crossed my mind as an adult learning that. Yeah,
because it's just like, why would people put poop in
the right and then people get pink eye, And then
when I walk by something pink on, like why'd you
put poop in your face? I think it, I don't
say it. So there's that. But so yeah, Bob, But
the difference is is rosster, I get pink eye. Uh,

(41:07):
you don't have to look at it. With Bob Costas,
you had to look at it. We didn't have to,
and then you could look away. It was just so
horrible that the best part was watching the other people
on the host panel there try to not look at
him directly. I'm sure, what were you gonna say?

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I was gonna say, poor guy, like you wake up
and what are you supposed to do? You have to
do the TV broadcasting from the entire world. There's nothing
you can do about it. Where where sunglasses could have
done that?

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Yeah, you're walking like like the oh.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
My god, the snow is so bright. I gotta you
know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yeah, yeah, get the the sunglasses at night things, bag
of the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Are you a fan of Bob Costas? The way he
brought Some people are not like.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
For us, have hard opinions either way.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
But for us, we were broadcasting him. Like when I
think of like the Michael Jordan broadcasts back from the
nineties or childhood, I think of Marv Albert and I
think of Bob Costas. So I'm always gonna sort of
be have a positive remembrance of him. But I know
some people they don't like it the way he broadcasts.
They like there's two broadcasters that really split people. It's

(42:12):
Joe Buck, right, and it's Bob Costas because he'll be
doing baseball and he gets all poetic and starts going
on people like, just tell me what's happening in the game.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah, yeah, I don't The Buck thing I don't understand,
and maybe I'm just a baby. I don't watch enough
of it, but he's just so passive. Costas is good.
I'm trying to think there was one guy used to
annoy me, but he wasn't really that pod imember. It
was a basketball guy and he's just not on anymore,

(42:43):
so maybe they figured it out. Do you have a
do you have a host of sports host you really
like though, and it could be any sport I.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Do, and it's gonna piss people off. I think. Oh, okay,
I like Colin Cowherd because he's a big Josh Allen fan,
So I'm completely biased. I know people hate that guy,
but I like him, so.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I'll tell you that. I'll tell you the guy. No
cow The only thing that with Cowherd is I know
somebody personally who has I think a real legitimate beef
with him, who's in sports talk.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Okay, so that changes everything, like if you know something personal, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Like something Cowherd he says Cowherd did to him, which
is dirty. It's not illegal, but it's just really dirty
in the world of talk. And I don't know whether
it's true or not, but that's always informed my decision
because I don't know Colin Cowherd. Maybe it's not true,
but I believe this guy.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
I really like Dan Patrick.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Dan Patrick is fantastic and I but if I had
to pick one, Jim Nance. And that's just because I
think the pairing of Jim Nance.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Oh, you're talking about color commentary. I thought you meant
like broadcast, like like podcast.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
No, I'm talking about No, I'm talking about coverage sports. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Jim Nance doing the Masters if Julie, when Jim Nance dies,
clone him, don't ruin my mask.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Well now they can just a I am so you
might be in.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Luck now, but you gotta clone him because you want
to see him, because they do cut over to him.
But I keep the keep the thing a lot. No
Jim dude, Jim nantz doing Master's coverage. It should never change.
It's it's really good. But again it's also it comes
down to sports. My favorite person to call football is
Paul Allen. Do you know Paul Allen is? And he's

(44:18):
the Vikings play by play radio play by play guy.
He's he's also a friend of mine, so I'll throw
that out there. But even if I didn't know him,
I think, pound for pound he's probably the best radio
football guy. And and it's proven to me a lot
too because the amount of people who have no connection
to the Vikings who share clips where it's about listen

(44:40):
to the play by play guy and they forget they're
going to write his name like people they don't even
know his name is Paul Allen, And I see his
clip shirt all over because he has a very unique style.
But that's a Vikings thing national level. It's got to
be jim nantz. So yeah, yeah, I think I go
one hundred percent on that. All right, eight eight nine

(45:00):
three four seven eight seven four. Let's see here were they.
I don't know that they're doing anything real crazy with
the Olympics. They'll be look, we'll talk about it obviously.
Oh yeah, okay, I'm sorry. I forgot to say my
second favorite the two best parts of Sochi.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
I was about to ask what the second one was.
You know what the second one is, don't you. Yeah,
so it's the Russian dopeing secret Russian tunnel.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah no, no, it wasn't even a tunnel. Yeah, so
it was. It was a fake wall, the hollow part
in the middle of the wall, and then another secret entrance, right.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
The secret Russian passageway with the with the painting of
respute and with the googly eyes that they would still.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Yeah. So when they built the Olympic village just with
the Russians. This is why they This is why they
can't wave their flag at the ceremonies for I think
one this is the last one because they they got
suspended for this, but it's so stupid because their athletes
can still compete, like what are we doing? So when
they built the Olympic village from scratch in Sochi, they

(46:04):
had to build all the stuff. Right, here's where they live,
here's where they eat, here's where the broadcast people go,
Here's where the medical facilities are. I had medical facilities
it as part of the facilities. They have the testing
area so that they can test to do all the
doping tests for all the athletes. So when the Russians
built it, they built it as part of a larger
complex connected to a bunch of other things like offices

(46:26):
and whatnot. And they built secret interior passageways in the
walls so that at night they could sneak in from
someplace else because it's very well guarded, and swap urine
samples so their athletes wouldn't pop positive. The amount of
devious old school Russian Putin esque kind of stuff you

(46:48):
would have to that's cold war stuff.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
And they're not beating the allegations.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
If the kids say, because think about like like I'm
just gonna go like Rocky four, Rocky four, what was
the big thing in Ryeah? Right, they would show Ivandrago
shooting up all training. Right, it was a big part
of it. You had this steroid Soviet monster had to defeat, right.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
What you know, now, how sad would he have been
if the guy died.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
You can't just throw this and there you go. There
you have put in with a secret passageway so they
can like you know, they're they're juicing up, but they
can just cheat.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yeah, yeah, dude, it's so great. It's I mean, it's
not great, it's horrible, but it's just so old school Russian.
I remember laughing so hard. I'm like, of course they did.
Of course they built secret passageways in there so they
could cheat and spy on you. Oh yeah, man, you
know the Chinese, the Chinese from a surveillance, the foreign

(47:43):
surveillance against most of the Nods because it's crazy, like
they'll go and what's the big hotel the Chinese bought
up in New York? Was it the Park Plaza? No,
it was one of the other ones. It was the Allegator.
I can't It was one of the ones where Obama
used to stay when the Chinese bought it in the
middle of his term. We don't put important people there anymore.

(48:06):
We refuse to literally have somebody who might have some
information be allowed to stay there from a government capacity,
because we know the Chinese have the whole thing bugged.
They do that all over. But the Russians, the Russians,
they're really good at it, but in this case they
got caught. So there you go, all right, creeping upbout
seven twenty three, coming up, Senator Ted Bud. That'll be

(48:27):
eight oh five and we'll be right back. You want
to go out and have a custom made logo for yourself,
put it on your shirt. You can do that for
reacting to Lebron James who had a custom logo. Which
here's why this is. This is so much crazier too.
Is the NBA the NFL. Yeah, the big sports are

(48:48):
absolute Nazis about what you're allowed to wear and not wear,
and I mean down to the whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Yeah, they'll find people like you've had players come out
before and they'll put something on their sneakers or on
the kid's name right right to remember some kid that
died of cancer. And they're like, oh, I can't do that.
We're gonna find you like twenty thousand dollars take the
patch off. Yeah, So what does Lebron do? He's like, God,
it's my twenty third season. Also, look, I think there's

(49:17):
a certain there's a certain extra obscenity to him focusing
on the number twenty three, and it's him, I have
to describe. It's got the big it's got number twenty three,
and it says NBA seasons, and it's got his arms

(49:37):
up in some.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Like victory posts, and it's a silhouette. It's it's silhouetted,
like you know, the NBA logo itself, or used to
be for most of the NBA was a silhouette of
a Jerry West photo, although they've since changed that. So like,
but I don't think Jerry West set it up. So
there's that.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
No, No, Jerry West didn't come out and say, hey,
I'm gonna be like the logo or the picture of
the league. Right, he didn't come out with that on
his uniform. And this is the league.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Now.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Lebron's coming out and he's like, hey, I'm celebrating twenty
three years in the league, and I made my own
patch and I'm putting on my that's.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
I think it's also an few to Jordan. Yeah, that's
what I was driving out because what's Jordan Well, Jordan's
played under Culpable.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
He was his main number twenty three. Of course he
had also had forty five. But he's famous for, you know,
having more accolades than Lebron James will ever have a
less amount of time. That's what he's famous for.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Yo with that too, also not going and getting absolutely
pillaried in the finals.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I mean it sincerely when I say people think I'm joking,
I mean this sincerely. And I could go on and
on and on about it and give you various reasons
and give you an audio essay on this, because I've
already put a lot of time and anger into it.
I really feel like Lebron James destroyed the league. I
think he's been a negative. I think there's a lot
of people like myself who tuned out because of Lebron James.

(50:59):
And you know how you know you had term limits
after FDR they come out with term limits. Yeah, they're like, hey,
you can't be in office for no you know you
can't hear four year four terms. We got to we
can't do that again. We need to have something similar
after Lebron James, Like twenty years you're out. For fifteen years,
you're out.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
You know. I have another theory on what he's what
all of this is after, right, because I think it weighs.
I think every day in his mind, the him versus Michael,
thing he thinks about I think he thinks about it.
I think he seedes things like he you know, he
was he said something the other day he was and

(51:39):
then I heard another player echo it. Who is one
of the guys that hangs with Lebron. And it's just like,
the NBA has never been more exciting. It's such a
The NBA has never been more physical, is the other
thing he said. And I'm like, have you seen in
the eighties where they would dump people into the stands
and no technicals were assessed. You'd get two points to
throw shut your face holes. So here's my theory. Here's

(52:02):
what I think the endgame is. I think Lebron realizes
he needs something to win that argument, even if publicly
he'll claim that it's him. I think he realizes. I
think what Lebron wants he wants to skip the weight
for the whole. I think Lebron has such an ego

(52:26):
that he thinks he is that good that they should
not make him sit for five years to wait, what
do you think of that?

Speaker 2 (52:33):
I mean, I don't he's not that good though.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
I mean, yeah, they didn't do it for Jordan. Shut up.
And that's just a theory, but it annoys me.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
They're like, oh, yeah, so the points. Yeah, because he's
played for twenty three years.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Dude, Yeah, yeah, he didn't take years off to go
do other things then come back and win three.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
He's been in the finals so many times and he's
lost more than he's won. Yeah, and he still doesn't
have as many as George. It's such a dumb comparison.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
This is why I think he feels that there has
to be something to set them apart, because if not,
it'll just be the debate that reads on forever. And
I don't think his ego will allow that. But just
a theory. All right, let me grab a call here, David.
What's up?

Speaker 5 (53:17):
Heye is?

Speaker 6 (53:21):
I was gonna tell you that the hotel you're thinking
about in New York City it's the Waldorf.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Was it Waldorf? Okay? I knew it was one of
the fancy ones, but yeah, basically now it's just a
big China listening device.

Speaker 6 (53:31):
Hey, a little funny story. I got some people that
come in from New Zealand every year and we have
to stay in there when President Obama was But my
friend from New Zealand has recently been knighted and he
was told that not to go to the Waldorf ever again.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Oh I'm not. I'm sure that anyone in any position
anywhere around the world understands what's going on there with China.

Speaker 6 (53:54):
So it's just bizarre. But I mean, it's such a
great place and then for it to happen like that,
it's just terrible. But I thought, I, let you know,
it was the Chinese and they are some sneaky bastards.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Yeah, here's the thing too, well, actually, let me let
me grab this, let me grab Jay's call. And then
there's one thing I want to add to the spy stuff, Jay,
what's up?

Speaker 5 (54:14):
Well, just I'm a sports of fictionado. I'm not a fanatic.
I'm a fictionado. And I watched the Panthers game. Of
the last two seconds pay of the Panthers game, they
was robbed just like the Saints Rams game with the
pass of the Fears. Referees have their eyes on the ball.
That's that's there, that's their stick, and.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
They started on the you don't even get me started
on some of the last two weeks shenanigans when it
comes to covering ports, spreads like people kicking for no
reason whatever.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
Yeah, the thing is the referees. I mean, the defensive
player has this back towards the ball and he had
his hands on the offensive player that's passing the fears
and with two seconds left in the game, they needed
that chance, but they didn't get it because the referee,
the corrupt or incompetent them both. But I was really
kicked off about that.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
I watched all the games, the Panthers game and the
Bills games were out of control with officiating problems. Officiating problems.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Yeah, yeah, all right, you know what I suggested, Casey
suggests the referees have a three panel referee in the
booth to override anything. But they said that it's just
they already have that.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
They already have that with New York. The problem is
is if one group is oversight of the other, then
you just worry about that group being corrupt. So I
don't I'm oh, sorry, Jed, I mean to hang up
on you that abruptly, but I appreciate the call this morning. Yeah, man,
I don't know. It's just we consider and dwelling and
all that stuff. I think the Panthers got hosed on

(55:48):
a few things. I think the problem with the Bills
game wasn't so much that it was trying to hose
one team or the other. I think that it just
everybody looked incompetent trying to officiate that, which kind of
stood out to me. They quickly go back to the
spy stuff. I know, and I was part of this
era since technically I was around before the wall fell,
but I really wasn't like in it plugged in. There's

(56:11):
a little part of me because this all this spy stuff,
espionaga stuff I find fascinating. I love espionage movies. But
like what a golden era from post World War Two
to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Yeah, I understand
most of you thought you were gonna get nuked in
your bathtub or if you didn't hide under your desk
or whatever. And I can't speak to that. I was

(56:32):
just too little. But there's so many cool stories. And
you know, China's the Johnny come Lately on this stuff,
but the o g Us in Russia, what we were
doing to each other from the forties through you know
the Wall, but really into the sixties, like remember do
you do you guys know that one of the most

(56:54):
famous bugging operations in all of espionage history was done
by the Russians. And it was done right at the
end of World War Two, when we were so like, hey,
these are our friends, even though clearly we were not
their friends, because it was time to carve things up
and Russia wanted that territory and we're like, now, we're
not gonna do that. So what did Russia do? They
did the thing, the thing, And that's touch just me

(57:16):
saying the thing, because I do that sometimes it's called
the thing. You guys know about the thing. So in
nineteen forty five, what did they give it? Forty five
or forty six? Thet'd be accurate. And you got to
understand the tech here too, because we were confused by
what was going on here, all right, So nineteen forty
five August for nineteen forty five a giant seal. It's

(57:38):
the seal of them, you know, the US Seal, but
they had been done carved in wood and it was
really ornate. It was framed and it was gifted to
the US Embassy in Moscow by the Russians to their
friends the Americans. And the way they did is they
brought in a class full of kids to sing songs

(57:59):
like they had made it and wood shop or whatever,
and the ambassador hung it above his desk in his
private office. Now they scanned it, they couldn't find anything whatever.
But and the reason they couldn't is the technology was
so advanced that it hung there and it didn't have
a signal coming out of it except if you had

(58:19):
line of sight on it. And they would park outside
the embassy, pop it with a laser or it's not
a laser but electromagnetic energy, and that would make it
listen and it would then frequency out stuff that would
turn it on. That was the power, and then it
would power up and a signal would be coming out.

(58:41):
And when they did that, they could listen to what's
going on in the office. That's not a good thing
for us. And that went on for till the early fifties.
We figured it out, and they figured it out, and
even when they opened it, they didn't know what they
were looking at because it was so advanced. It was
like you receee where they saved the sound on water
they can use those waves to figure out what the

(59:02):
sound is. It was the earliest version of that or RFID.
We didn't say anything, it just we just took it
down one day, never said anything to the Russians. We
put it in our pocket. And then in the nineteen sixties,
when the U two stuff was going on, we marched
because Russia wanted us condemned in the UN. We marched
in with the clock and held it up in the

(59:24):
air of the UN and the Russians went white because
Russia is like, how dare you You're spying on us?
We would never spy on you. And we held the
thing for ten years just to use against them when
we needed it. And then we tried acoustic Kitty and
that didn't work. Raced Agic from the Weather Channel. Dude,

(59:45):
I love the old spy stuff. Do you know what
acoustic Kitty was it? That's one of my favorite CIA operations.
So the Cio your caf all right. So here's what
we did. Somebody got the idea that we could implant
microphones into a straight cat. And because they realized around
the Russian embassy there's a bunch of straight cats, and
they would let him inside sometimes, so We wired up

(01:00:06):
this cat. We trained it to go to certain places
as much as you can train a cat. And then
the big day came and see ia vehicle across from
the Russian embassy, opened the door, put the cat out
so it would run over the Russian embassy, and it
got halfway across the street and a taxi ran it over.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Yeah, so there you go. Very short to bed. I guess,
so very short project nine lives or nothing. No, no,
it only had the one. Yeah, only the one. That's
too bad. That's too bad. Yeah, I'll tell you it's
not too bad. The weather like not.

Speaker 7 (01:00:41):
Bed driving around and like not bad weather. Man looks
pretty good out there today. It looked real nice, deep
blue sky for this time of year. Temperature is comfortable
mid upper fifties tomorrow mid upper fifties, a little more
cloud in overnight lows. We'll be a little bit milder
tomorrow morning than where we are this morning, which is
in the upper twenties to low thirties. Starting to see

(01:01:03):
some milder air off to the west. But oh no,
not a bad couple of days. Then the next change
will be on deck for Wednesday night Thursday, some rain showers,
maybe some snowflakes early Thursday morning. Accumulation most likely not
going to be into the mountains for that, but I
would say with temperature's falling close to freezing, just be ready.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Early Thursday.

Speaker 7 (01:01:24):
Might might be a couple of slick spots in some places,
not same for everybody, but I'd just like to give
people that just word. With temperature in the upper twenties
to low thirties and you got prezip coming down, you
never know if it's going to get icy and black
ice in some spots, and sunshine and colder, a little
blustery on Thursday on either side of forty, and then
we'll be in the low forties on Friday morning. Lows

(01:01:45):
are going to be in the upper teens to low twenties,
so cold Friday morning coming high close to fifties. Saturday,
another cold dump of air coming in for Sunday, an
MLK day. His only in the upper thirties to low forties,
but sunshine will be around, So we get through this
little let's call it event tomorrow night early Thursday, unscathed.
It's more than cold we'll have to worry about. And
I think over the next couple of weeks for the
rest of the month. It's probably more cold now than

(01:02:07):
we will have warm as the month began warm. It's
gonna end on the chili side.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Oh fucking okay, And I looked it up. So they
tried to keep the cat things the project going for
six more years, and then they came to the conclusion,
you can't train a cat to do crap, No, you can't.
They don't put them in and then the cat would
see food and you didn't listen it. All right, traders,
all right, thank you sir, appreciate it. All right, that's
the takeaway. Cats are traders. Will take a break, be

(01:02:32):
right back. Two Republican lawmakers made a demand that the
National Institute of Health halt more than three million dollars
in taxpayer funding four what is essentially an Anthony Fauci
bat facility in Colorado. How do you even pitch that

(01:02:57):
post COVID or even during cod maybe during at the beginning,
but we figured out what was up, like people were like,
ah wuhan. And then when we knew we were doing
research over there, everybody knew what was up on? What
on what planet? Could you get funding? Three million? Three
million put in for a bat research facility here in

(01:03:20):
the US after what happened with the one in China
that we were funding illegally or illegally maybe it's not
the right word. We're not being truthful with the gain
of function there, Senator Jony Ernst, And who's the other one,
Goeser from Arizona. I think you called on NAIs Director
Jay bought the Chara to immediately stop the research. So

(01:03:45):
when did this actually get the funding? This is going
to be those damning thing here, by the way, let
me just say this where we get into all of it.
I'm a hard no on this, but I don't necessarily
have a problem if it's not gain of function, uh
with because you have to research stuff that's bats have
you know, bats are rabies carriers. There's a lot of
stuff that can happen there, and it's better that you

(01:04:06):
understand the science. But anything having to do with Fouch
you and what he was going over, you gotta wash
yourself of this man. And let me just say this
because today is the one week out, so I'd be
kind of waiting for this. This is my last week
of patients with Pam Bondy. You got a week.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
You are you will have.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
Spent twenty five percent of your opportunity should that's even
if you stick around twenty five percent of your available time,
and exactly zero people have even been arrested indicted successfully.
I don't even necessarily count Letitia James. I'm talking about

(01:04:50):
the Russia stuff. There were so many crimes that are clearly,
clearly there is a lot of evidence for. And no, buddy,
this is worse than what was what was ross? What
was Trump's first ag in his first Jeff Sessions? Right?
How how you could find somebody who may turn out

(01:05:11):
to be more disappointing than Jeff Sessions kills me? Yeah,
that's right. You've only made it two weeks. We got
a long slog to go, and here to help us slog.
We'll be the folks up in Washington, including one of
our two US senators, Ted Budd, joining us. Now, how
are you doing, sir?

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
Yeah, I'm doing great.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
Happy New Year to you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
You know, anyone at the d O J ser.

Speaker 4 (01:05:33):
I think they've I think they're kind of concerned for
their jobs.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Right now, we're gonna get into that, but before we
get them fired for not doing anything for a fourth
of this man's presidency. Can we jail NFL officials?

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
Is that in the uh do you have any particulars.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
I mean, there might have been a few that officiated
some games this weekend that may have impact on North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
Yeah, it'snarrow that down to one team.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Yeah, right on, hey man, dude, I very heartbreaking. But
what a crazy season like for the Panthers starting with fourteen.
There's fourteen dollars tickets the beginning of the season, and
and then I saw some lady who was complaining because
it was eighty dollars to park for the playoff game.
So they really turned some stuff around. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Yeah, so I guess if you're parking costs more than
the original season tickets, that's probably a bad indicator. But
made it to a round a playoffs, So grateful for that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
All right, let's talk to the other do Ojay Trump said,
I made some comments here I saw yesterday, and that's
this is kind of how he works. Really. He'll say
stuff so that the person who he needs to hear
it kind of trickles down to him. He loves doing
this stuff. I have I've been I've been sitting here
and trying to give the benefit of the doubt, Senator,

(01:06:52):
But we're going to hit one year next week, one
year twenty five percent of this man's term, and they're
have been zero people having to do with the Russia
stuff and many other things that have yet to even
be indicted. And I think people's frustration is growing. They
had this man under multiple indictments and mugshots within months

(01:07:17):
of him leaving the presidency. Please tell me there's going
to be something there, or there's going to be changes
to do it, because I didn't think he could pick
worse than Jeff's sessions. And we're trending there.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
You know, there's a couple of ways to look at it.
One is hard to do real justice where it's easy
to do fake justice, and fake justice is what you
saw under Biden. Real justice is what you're trying to.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
Do at DJ.

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
A lot of good folks there concerned. I think the
loudest cry out there is the cry for justice. You know,
if it's Epstein, if it's seeing people that had election
brought issues that wasn't the real people to go to jail.
These are sneaky sons of guns. You've got to build
an actual case where no actual case was really built

(01:08:06):
against President Trump. People I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
Know, the crazy left say that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
You know, he had so many felony convictions, but not
one of those.

Speaker 6 (01:08:14):
They were just like a cut and paste.

Speaker 4 (01:08:16):
Of all the same thing against them, and they were
all they were all flawed and they were they were
not even true.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
I got it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
Yeah, But so I mean again, sake justice is easier
than real justice and real justice what they're trying to do. However,
when you put the squeeze on your own people at DJ,
you don't need to go out and try to investigate J.

Speaker 5 (01:08:36):
Powell.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
I uh, we get into that separate because I think
that that is a fair separate discussion and that I
want to but that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
Yeah, but that comes from DJ.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
But your DJ efforts need to be laser focused on
the real issues and not something that is popular and
will make your boss happy. I mean, you want, you
want real issues. I think you need to build real
cases and put real, real people in jail. But you
have to go through the actual legal process, not in
the Biden you know, fake process.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Okay, let me, can I hit you with some names
and you tell me what these these people all have
in common? Okay? Uh, Peter, Well, actually, you know what,
as a matter of fact, if you want some background music,
I got the Cliffhanger yodeler from Prices, right to do that?
All right, three names ready? What are they all have

(01:09:27):
in common? Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, and Roger Stone? Okay,
what are those three people all have in common on
this discussion?

Speaker 4 (01:09:38):
What would you say have gotten in legal trouble? And
all have supported President Trump?

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
And but more specifically, all of them went to jail
when Navarro did what four months I can't remember Bannon's
they went to jail, and they went to jail for
contempt of Congress in most instances, and that's my point.
It is to some extent the d o J. And
I know it has to be the d o J
if you guys recommend somebody for contempt, but the pathways
are there. Would you tell me, in your service as

(01:10:05):
a senator and before that in the House of Representatives,
do you think anyone has in your presence committed a
jailable crime to you, whether it's contempt of you or
something else. Do you feel that you have witnessed that
and that people should be held accountable.

Speaker 4 (01:10:21):
I think, well, that's two parts one held accountable, yes,
but having done something in front of me that needs to.

Speaker 5 (01:10:26):
Go to jail for now.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Well, these guys were contempt of Congress. You're Congress, so
guy on behalf of you, right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
This is.

Speaker 4 (01:10:37):
The fake Biden left this justice where you slap somebody
in jail and then you hope you keep them there forever. Uh,
you know, dang the courts because you don't need a
real fare process.

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
But we got through real justice. So I wish it
was as quick as the other.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
But it's just not is you have to build a
real case. And these folks are are innocent and so
proven guilty and that is unfortunately opposite of what Biden did,
which is you're guilty and you don't even have a
chance to preve your innocence.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
Well that's J six. That again, this is why too.
And this isn't a revenge thing. I promise you it's not.
I don't think what was done to the J six people.

Speaker 6 (01:11:18):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
And again I separate if you were doing violence, and
it's it's different. But for a lot of these people,
what was done to them I would never want to
see done even to these lunatics chasing the ice people Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:11:30):
Again, So that's that's an example. We don't want to
do to them what they want to do to us.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
No, but I want to do the appropriate amount to them.
I want the people who are who are sitting there
in assaulting ICE agents. And and now we have this
tragedy in Minneapolis. I was Pam BONDI said that if
you put hands or obstruct officers, you're going to go
to jail. And you see what's going on in Minneapolis.
So I think that's where the frustration lies. And then

(01:11:54):
it becomes more difficult to have conversations about the appropriateness
of going after Jerome, which I agree with you on.
I think this is a fool's errand because we got
bigger stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
But here we are.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
This is what we're dealing with, Senator. And I don't
mean to drop it all on you, but you're you're
you're a conduit up there. You're one of the twenty
people who we talked to from Washington.

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
Well, thanks for having the conversation. Look, I'm frustrated as well.
When I'm back in North Carolina. You know, traveling through
all one hundred counties, people are asking the same questions.
So you know, in a way, Casey, you're a representative
as well, because people are tuning in, you know, to
hear you, to hear me or other guests that call in,
we're frustrated. Look, you've got a lot of crazy that's

(01:12:38):
built up over the last decade. And look, if you
put a camera in a police person's face or you
yell things, that's kind of one thing. But when you
like point a car at them and accelerate, or you know,
if you're trying to call its harm these people unfortunately,
you know this, this this lady lost your life and
so I want to be respectful there. That is heartbreaking.

(01:13:00):
This was a you know, very likely a radicalized individual
and she made a lot of bad decisions coming out
of an extreme leftist movement. So look, if you're if
you're dealing if any of your listeners are dealing with
law enforcement, you know, put hands on the wheel, wind
it down, be respectful. If you've got a problem law enforcement,
deal with it after the fact. But you're not going
to win in the moment. These people aren't paid enough

(01:13:23):
and uh, they're putting their lives at risk. They want
to go home to their families. Let's be respectful here.
If you've got a problem. Let's deal with it after
the fact.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Yeah, no, I agree with you. And I also, because
I'm not all negative, even though people probably think I am,
I do appreciate that in the wake of what happened
in Minneapolis, the investigation now seems to be focused on
the training and the groups and the organizations that are
behind this. I think that that's the that's the right
way to do on this. So, uh see, I'm not not.

Speaker 4 (01:13:53):
Only Hey, you know Keith Ellison, the AG there. I
know he serves under Maxine Waters. You know, she was
chaired now she was actually ranking member at the time
when I came in in the majority in twenty sixteen,
and uh he was, you know, across the aisle from
me on financial services. So I'm trying to represent the

(01:14:13):
great state of North Carolina, which has a lot of
financial services companies, and he's over there trying to do
exactly what he's doing right now, and that is to
radicalize the left against individuals, against conservatives, against companies trying
to employ people. And now he's you know, got a
toe hold as Attorney General of Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
Now. But see, now this is this is where my
concern lies and I'm glad you're kind of here.

Speaker 6 (01:14:38):
One.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
I used to have Keith Ellison on, like I have
you on. Did you know that he's him? I will Blackman. Yeah,
he would actually come on, but and he was he
was very slick on the radio. But now it's just
it's it's crazy. But here's the thing, well, same, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
Sam in person, right, he would talk to you a smile,
like you know, Max, they're going to talk to you
in the elevator. People are thinking like you're at each
other all the time, and.

Speaker 5 (01:15:00):
You know, break back each other.

Speaker 4 (01:15:02):
But look, you're you're chatting during the you know, on
the elevator to votes, and how's it going to make
sure I'm sorry you had a fire in your district,
and you know there's there's cordial relationships like that. But
when you look at the agenda that the left is
trying to carry out, it is wrong, it is destructive.
It helps no one.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
But not by not pushing back as aggressively as I
think they should. We are expanding the permission structure. I
know you know what I mean. And this is my
big right. I think this is tragic what happened. I
think that that poor woman's wife who said run and
was saying on the net, and and she thinks she
did that because she probably kind of did do that,

(01:15:43):
and she has to live with that forever. Now. I
don't want these scenarios to exist out there, but if
you keep allowing it to expand, Oh, now I can
throw a sandwich at a police officer. Now I can
do this. This is what we're going to get.

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Well, here's the challenge. The great thing about conservatives is
they are conservative. That's generally your worldview mine as well.
And the bad thing is we tend to be conservative.
We don't like I mean, like I think of life
as a dad, as a business person. You're growing up
on a farm in North Carolina. I just don't want
people to mess with me, and I don't want people

(01:16:17):
to mess with folks in North Carolina. And generally you
just don't want government to interfere. These people are all
about interference. They want to use the power of government
to interfere in your lives and take control because they
have a fundamentally flawed world view, which doesn't help people prosper.
I want people to prosper. But the challenge with conservatives
is that we're conservative and you just want government to

(01:16:38):
be left alone. These people are about using government to
get in your life and in your business. So we
have to be non conservative stylistically to go after these folks.
So we got to step up. We've got to be allowed.
The first week I was here in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,
I sat down with former Speaker Nut Gingrit. She says, conservative,

(01:17:00):
they're conservative, and you've got to be louder, and so
we have to be aggressive. You don't give up your
conservative worldview and your beliefs, which are fundamentally the things
that make this country work, but you have to be
aggressive about it and to protect it because you've got
a lot of forces, which you're seeing front and center
in Minneapolis, that are coming after not just that state,

(01:17:22):
but after our country as well.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
This is but one of the things that I think
is fundamental to being conservative is the concept of law
rule in order right. Facistically, yeah, not fascistically or any
of the rest of that, but in a way. And
then when people start seeing just like you're seeing with
these people who get one hundred and ten convictions and
they're out to murder somebody the week after, people see

(01:17:47):
a breakdown in the same way they see an expansion
of the permission structure. Well, if they're not going to
do it, I'll take it into my own hands. And
then you get into the vigilanti side. And that's what
terrifies me. But I got to pivot to two things. One,
what's going on with the Labor Secretary. We have two
of her underlings who are now on paid leave. There's
allegations that they coordinated travel that was for personal stuff

(01:18:09):
on behalf of the secretary, and they're a leging an
inappropriate relationship. Now the White House says it's baseless. What
do you think? And you would agree if it's not baseless,
Trump's got to purge cancer quick because they'll try to
hang them with this. What are you hearing?

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
Yeah, First of all, this is one of the nominees that,
for very different reasons, that did not support I voted
against her. And look, she was friendly, you know, coming
through the office before her hearing, and I was on
the Committee of Jurisdiction before this Congress. Yeah, but because
she was not a right to work supporter, and this

(01:18:47):
is a right to work state in North Carolina. For
that reason, I couldn't support her. She had a strange
background as being like a planned parenthood person, but she
had really turned around and you know, was against that
stuff and was in line with President Trump. She had
sort of a mixed bag background, but she had done

(01:19:08):
in the first few months, you know, a pretty decent
job of following Trump's guidance and being a pro pro worker,
pro business, and that was different than what she'd come
in as. Look, this stuff needs to be investigated. You
got to find out is it true, is it not?
Is it just a crazy accusation from the left or
internal drama that's not true. Look, find it out. You

(01:19:30):
don't want to you don't want to ouse somebody if
it's not true.

Speaker 5 (01:19:33):
But if it's true, you've got to. President's got to
deal with it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
So the reasons she's having trouble now are not the
reasons I didn't vote for That's a completely different thing.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
Okay, Well, it's just I'm this is very early and
I'll see where it goes. But and then lastly, sixteen
of your House colleagues on the Republican side are now
down with subsidies. Are we are we really going to
do this with Obamacare subsidies? Is this going to actually happen.

Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
Yeah, that's I guess they're like majority makers New York
and like these fringe districts. Look, I think it's a
bad idea. There's so much fraud in there, and what
you know, let's go back to two.

Speaker 5 (01:20:11):
Thousand and nine.

Speaker 4 (01:20:12):
Remember that the Democrats passed. They didn't break the filibuster.
They actually had sixty Democrats that passed Obamacare christ see yeah,
Christmas Eve of two thousand and nine. So they broke it,
and then they realized it didn't work, so they propped
it up with subsidies, and then they set the dates
for it to expire.

Speaker 5 (01:20:29):
You know, let's.

Speaker 4 (01:20:29):
Remember that most of the of the Republicans don't support this.
You've got a handful in the House that do. It's
a bad idea to continue to prop up something that's
intrinsically broken and was since the day it started at
the end of two thousand and nine.

Speaker 5 (01:20:43):
Let's fix it.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
Let's bring real health care to people, Let's make let's
put money in their pockets. Let's make them make the
decisions and not start bloating the insurance companies like Obama
did in two thousand and nine.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
All right, thirty seconds, some of your College or some
of the Democrats are suggesting that maybe they should do
another shutdown. Are they serious? And how stupid would that?
Of the twenty less of a chance.

Speaker 5 (01:21:04):
Look, they lost the last one.

Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
They need to learn their lesson because people realize that
this is not the Republican's thought. These are crazy. Chuck schumerrights.
Chuck Schumer thought he was going to win this, but
he lost. And I sure hope he learned his lesson
from last year, because we don't want to do that again.
We'll win this one again. We want to keep the
government open and working for the people.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
All Right, Senator, I appreciate it. We've covered a lot
of things there and we'll talk soon.

Speaker 6 (01:21:29):
Okay, God bless Fox.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
All Right, there you go, Senator Ted budd here on
the Cacoda Radio program, and we'll be back.
