Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The looming government shutdown, I'm sure will be most of
the news cycle today with the Democrats saying we we
just don't need any Republican tricks. The Republicans are literally
offering a clean you know, just a straight continuation of
established and permanent programs. That's what they're offering. It's pretty

(00:22):
simple the beef. And we'll get into more of this
coming up at eight five oh ross you we're scheduled
for aightoh five, right, I forgot to unless you clarify, Okay, Yeah,
normally we talked to Congressman Brad Not on Wednesday, but
he needs to do it Tuesday. I'm assuming that's shut
down related, which is actually perfect. So at eight oh
five he can get into a little more detail on this.

(00:48):
So that's great. We'll chat with him at eight oh
five and get a sense. Apparently the meeting yesterday didn't
go well with Democrat leadership to the point where Trump
was making a videos mocking them. So I don't know
if he was, but people in his orbit were, and
he can lay it out. But as I understand it, basically,

(01:11):
the Republicans want a clean thing. The Democrats they want
an expansion or extension of a temporary program that is
set to sunset something they agreed to be set to sunset.
Going back to under Biden, and that was a bunch
of expanded spending, which does include spending for like, you know,

(01:34):
transgender stuff, and some medicaid Medicare or medicaid primarily spending,
but also some special programs where moneies can go to
healthcare for people who are in the country illegally, and
they go, well, how are they able to do that?
So the trick is, as I understand it, is you

(01:56):
expand it, and you pull money to compensate for un
unfunded liabilities within healthcare, such as people who would avail
themselves perhaps of an emergency room that you're not legally
allowed to turn.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Away, and then off you go.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Okay, And I'm sure it's more complex than that, and
the Congressman can fill us in on that, we'll go
ahead and do that.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Eight oh five.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
So uh oh, And then I was just thinking, so,
if the Congressman has to do today, because I don't
know if it's because government shut down or what the
heck's going on, we'll ask him Ross what do we
normally cover on this show? We cover a little bit
we'll cover, you know, basically everything, but especially with Trump

(02:40):
in office, what is what is a primary chunk of
our programming?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Politics? Government news. I like where you're going here.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
You see where I'm going here?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, I do. Like this is something we need to
bring up with Trevor.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's like, if let's say you owned a small grocery
store in a a in a heavily Jewish neighborhood, Okay,
and like, would it be worth your time to be
open uh Sabbath, you know from that sundown to sundown period.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I mean I'd probably not.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
And we got a meeting with Trevor Lady, We'll have
to explain this to him. If there's nothing to talk about,
nothing to talk about, I know what you're saying. You're like, KC,
there's crazy people abound and you don't need to But
I'm just like, hey man, we're just always trying to
find an angle here on the show.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
So let's see how that goes.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
And we're you know, we're not gonna be able to
veil ourselves of wonderful audio from people like cyborg Ross.
And so, by the way, cyborg Ross is not me
insulting Ross the producer. It is me referring to Deborah Ross,
the congresswoman who gave us probably the most cyborgish interview

(03:54):
ever on this show. And we didn't attack or anything.
It was back when she was running and we you know,
we did the thing where, you know how it goes.
If you're if you're gonna be on the ballot today,
here's the day or the days where you can call in.
And I appreciate the fact that they scheduled an interview
or scheduled availed themselves of that opportunity. But then we

(04:15):
put her on the air and it was like interviewing
a speak and say is the best way to describe it.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Man.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
It's not that there was anything groundbreaking of the information
that was communicated. It was a conversation. I don't think
she misrepresented her positions. I think, you know, she did
a little of the politician stuff. But it was just
how robotic it was to the point where we got
done and we got to break Ross and I are like, simultaneously,

(04:44):
what the hell just happened?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Man?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Ross, I'm sorry you got to share a name with her.
So she had a whoopsie yesterday. I don't know if
whoopsie qualifies. So they had a hearing yesterday of victims,
families of people who have died or have been grievously

(05:08):
injured or impacted as a result of you know, permissive
policing and prosecutorial schemes. Right where you just guy's been arrested.
The stories like where the guy's been arrested fourteen times
and yet there he is on the light rail to
stab poor arena, or some of these are even worse,

(05:32):
forty some arrests. How's the guy on the street now
he's murdered a family member? And so those parents and
other family members were brought into a hearing and they
have they have named you know, yeah, anytime you see
congressional hearing, what is sitting right in front of the
people that are that are that are being questioned and

(05:53):
the people doing the questioning for that matter, everybody's got
a name tag, right, little triangular things and front of them,
so you know who it is. Clearly, if you're going
to have a hearing, you have staff that will prepare
you for this. And there is a father whose last

(06:14):
name is Federico, which by the way, is a pretty
unique name. And I would assume, as a member of Congress,
your staff has prepared a list, and in fact, I've
seen I've seen the notices that they put for these
committee hearings, and it generally includes the witnesses and a
short bio. So it's you'd have to be really, really
dumb to not recognize who it is you're talking to,

(06:40):
and on such a sensitive topic. You have angry people
in that room, and probably there's a good chance for
a hearing like that. If you are on the left,
the people who are angry are probably going to be
more angry at you because of your politics. It doesn't

(07:01):
mean you can't have a constructive conversation. It doesn't mean
you can't look at it and go, you know what,
You're right, we got to do something. Here's what we
should do. But you have to have a certain skill
set to do that, and job number one is knowing
who you are talking to. Job number one so important.

(07:24):
Let's see if she gets it right.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Long before this hearing, particularly, Oh, I'm sorry, I am
so sorry.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
She thought this was Arena's father.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Thank you so much for bringing that. Thank you, sir,
I am so sorry for you. I'm before, i am
so sorry, I'm so sorry for your loss. And my
heart goes out to you. My heart goes out to you.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Do you not know her? How dare you not know her?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
That she needs to resign? This is so bad. I
can't imagine a worse scenario for a politician or a
public figure. That's awful.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm trying to think of a screw up like this.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
What is she thanking him for?

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, that's I think she's just so flush?

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Is she thanking him for?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
She's so flustered?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Thank you for bringing that?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
What?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Thank you for being there because his daughter was brutally
executed and murdered. Yeah, what are you even talking about?
And thank you for bringing that. You should have known that, Deborah.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
That guy'd rather be digging fence post somewhere. He doesn't
want to be there.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
She doesn't even say I'm sorry for this horrible mistake.
She says, I'm sorry for your loss. She doesn't even
have the ability to recognize what she just did.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And this guy is you'll come to find out, because
they'll play some audio from him, is amped.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Can you imagine your daughter is brutally executed and murdered
and you're sitting there in front of the people that
make these awful policies that allowed it to happen. And
this woman doesn't even know who you are and doesn't
know who your daughter is.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Just put five minutes.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
She needs to go. I mean, this is pissing me off.
I can't even imagine like being in that situation as
a father. He actually held it together pretty damn well. Yeah,
I don't even Yeah, I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Play it one more time because I'm gonna play it
one more time because it is just so striking. And
and again Ross is to Ross's point, she's thanking him
for what she's thanking him, But it's you could It's
not the right thank you.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's not even a thank you.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
For bringing up the fact of who you are. I
really appreciate thank you for bringing up the fact.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
That when you have a name tag in front of you.
And by the way, I don't know, I don't know
if you know this Federico does not sound very Ukrainian.
They have significant they can't keep track of their victims. Yeah,
that's a problem. Here we go one more time.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Long before this hearing particularly.

Speaker 6 (09:59):
O.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
I'm sorry, I am so sorry. I am so sorry.
Thank you so much for bringing that. Thank you, thank you, sir.
I am so sorry for you, I'm before I am
so I'm so sorry for your loss, and my heart
goes out to you.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
By the way, is he saying is he saying that
I've talked to you before? Because that's what it sounds like,
he says, because they don't have his mic on it
that moment, because it's opening little opening statements.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
I think I think he's talking about the murder of
his daughter took place before the other one.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, all right, that's.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
There.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I think he said something like four months before something
like that.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Oh, four months before. Okay, I thought he said he
talked to her four months before. Okay, all right, which
would have been around the time the murder happened. All right,
fair enough. Still they have name texts. You have a
run sheet for all proud run sheet of something like
if I I don't have to do this as my
because Ross and are basically on the same page. But

(11:02):
a run sheet would just be like, you can create
a list of my audio cuts and then write it
all out with more descriptions. But since I'm the one who,
uh you know, sends most of the audio clips, I
don't have to do that.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
So she's got one.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Though, because she's not doing scheduling. Her staff has put
that together. It's it's in the official notification of the hearing.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
It's her reaction.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, her reaction to him is the same sort of
vibe we got when she was on this show, where
there's there's a disconnection there to what is happening. Like
she was on this show and she was like a robot.
She was the NPC meme. She realized she had no personality,
there was no her there. It was all talking points

(11:44):
and it was all spin and she was just on
a script the entire time. And if you try to
take her off it, she didn't know what to do.
She know how I interview, I don't just do a
just the fact. I try to humanize, right, like well,
crack joke. I try to make people a little uncomfortable
to see what they'll do. And she just like glazed
over those It was so weird, man, there was no

(12:04):
human being going on. That's exact same thing that just
happened here, but in the worst possible scenario situation. Yeah,
thank you, thank you for bringing that up. Thank you
for bringing that what that his daughter was murdered, Well.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
We'll play We're gonna play some audio from dad. In fact,
you know, let's just go ahead and pair this together
so you don't have to wait. So here is the
father now when it's finally time for him to have
his mic cracked open. And you can tell, I don't
know how angry this dude was walking in. Obviously he's
gonna be pretty angry considering what happened. But this is
post his interaction with with Debor Ross there. I mean, listen,

(12:39):
listen to this father and the amount the amount of
rage that that this man is still fill filled with
which he probably tried has to work on every day
because this is still you know, this is still fresh.
This is this is within the last six months. And
he gets teed off during the opening the opening, Uh
you know a little Uh, I'm I'm so and so,

(13:01):
congress person. Here's what I think is that he has
loaded for bear when it's his turn.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Dead gone.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
Why because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested thirty nine
damn times twenty five felonies, was on the street. How
about that? How good are we doing for our family?
How good are you doing for your kids? He should

(13:34):
have been in jail for over one hundred and forty
years for all the crimes he committed. You know how
much time he's spent in prison, a little over six
hundred days in ten years.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
He's only thirty years old.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
He was committing two point sixty five crimes a year
since he was fifteen years old. But nobody could figure
out that he couldn't be rehabilitated. Well, you'd have to
put him in prison to see if he could be rehabilitated.
Isn't that the idea of prison? But no, my daughter

(14:10):
wanted to be a teacher. She finally figured it out
two weeks before she was executed, and she literally was
executed while on her knees, begging for her life.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
This his daughter.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
By the way, I guess if you don't know the
full stories, this happened actually in South Carolina because she
was visiting friends down in South Carolina and this hearing
was in Charlotte.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I just want to point that out.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
So you got Ross there, you got Harris, you got
you know, you're dealing with North Carolina delegation. So she
had traveled down there. And also I forgot to add
that when when Ross is doing the thing where the
dad whips out, because you're kind of wondering at the beginning,
what was what was triggering him to immediately start reacting.

(15:00):
She's holding Deva Ross is holding a picture of Arena Zarutska.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's what got that going.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
So she's talking, addressing this dude and holding a picture
of Arena, not his daughter. Remember I talked about she
was handed a bundle of supplies and evidence and stuff.
This is what she would have been handed. That's what
makes this so egregious. And I saw a couple accounts

(15:32):
that were a Democrat Party associated saying that she apologized
to him after I didn't see. I have seen no
reporting on that, no pictures, no nothing.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I believe you, Judging from my interaction with Deva Ross,
I don't think she contains.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
The capacity to do that.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
You'd have to be human in the way that you
interact with people, and I've just never seen that from her. Anyway,
We'll take a break. We got more audio, lots of
it coming up. Hang on, but Ross, did you do
you see the insane updates on this This guy who's
accused of shooting up the bar in Southport, North Carolina,
involving American Idol contestant Kelly Pickler.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
No, I've heard that. No, Okay. I was about to
say yeah because I heard an update on the Fox
News at the top of the hour, but I haven't
heard the American Idol connection.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, all right, so this is this is crazy. There's
a bunch of crazy stuff, but this is whoo all right.
So yeah, you remember Kelly Pickler, right, Yeah, I interviewed her.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
She was okay, she was super nice.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Good good, good good.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
So Kelly Pickler took Edge to the CMT Awards as
her date as part of it was like he was
a wounded warrior kind of one of those things, right,
so you know, not date date. It's like when what's
her bucket from that seventies show went to the Marine
ball in Le June with the guy.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I mean, we covered that story.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Hey, Milaicunis, Yeah, remember Emilacunas submarine over in Le June.
A little video and then all of a sudden she's like, yeah,
I'll be your date to the ball. It was great,
Like it looked like it went great. There were photos,
everyone had a good time. So I get the vibe.
It was one of those things. So he's Sergeant Sean
Duboyce at the time because he changed his name to
Nigel Edge, so he Pickler took him to the CMTS

(17:17):
as the date he was a wounded marine veteran publicly
expressed his gratitude towards Pickler. All of these things that
happened in twenty twelve. Okay, so that happens.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
And then.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
This dude sued Pickler, saying that she tried to kill
him by giving him a poisoned glass of Jim Beam
whiskey at the award show. He claimed he only survived
because he didn't drink it. The judge presiding over the
case threw it out, referring to the claim as both
unbelievable and delusional. And he sued a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Right, so not surprising. He looks like he's like Looney Tunes.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (18:03):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
The washing it against Pickler was one of many filed
by Edge, which included hold on somehow, it's going to
get weirder, are you ready? Which included numerous bizarre conspiracy
theory claims. Other lawsuits accused a cabal of lgbt Q
white supremacists of trying to kill him, and alleged that

(18:23):
a medical center also attempted to murder him. These lawsuits,
as you can imagine, were released. One of them was
the hospital down there in near Southport, or maybe over
in Wilmington. I'm sorry, I'm really confused by the wording there.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
So he was a.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Hospital in Wilmington.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's a hospital that resides within the city limits of
the city of Wilmington.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
How is that confusing to you? I'm sorry?

Speaker 3 (18:48):
What so he thought there was a group a cabal,
if you will.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Of cabal is the word he used. I'm quoting. I'm quoting.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
This is a quote of day white supremacists, well.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
L LGBT and Q.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
They could be trans white supremacists, queer white supremacist, bisexual
white supremacist, not just gay white supremacists or lesbian white supremacist.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
So gay skinhead nazis.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, it's like a really, it's a niche it's a yeah,
it's a very niche thing there.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, Yeah, what's I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
I wasn't expecting that. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, I was not expected at what I saw it either.
So we'll be honest. I don't know where they operate,
and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
So it's like the guy in Charlotte. They went from
the judge, and he was like, Hey, there's like, you know,
stuff under my skin that's they're tracking me or whatever, And.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, that is the real That is the real tragedy
here is as interesting as it is to talk about
the Pickler stuff and figure out what an LGBTQ white
supremacist is. It is very clear that there is a
pattern of this dude screaming out that he there's something,
there's something wrong, and him not getting the care he needs. Now,

(20:09):
whether that's because people kept turning him away, although it
sounds in a couple instances that may have been the case,
or if he just avoided getting the care that he
needs and was low enough under the radar, I don't know,
but I do know that in retrospect, if you read
this much like much like what we saw down in Charlotte,

(20:31):
you know, Monday morning quarterbackings like how the hell is
how the hell did people not do anything? How are
things not done? What is going on here? So yeah, yeah, actually,
hold on, let me read the exact quote, because it's

(20:52):
a cabal of white supremacist LGBTQ pedophile ring that's from
his lawsuit. I knew there was an extra angle there,
So yeah, yeah, we're learning some stuff today. That is
for darn sure, I don't know what that is, but

(21:13):
that is almost I would say that that is almost
there's a tracker under my skin level of insanity. And
the judge even used the word delusional in dismissing the
Picklar lawsuit. So, look, do I trust Josh Stein's motives
at his press conference yesterday where he's like, we have
way too many people that are crazy, Well, i'll read

(21:36):
his exact quote. He didn't say crazy, but way too
many people that clearly are in need of stuff. I
don't trust his motives, but I agree with him. I
agree with him, and I speak especially as it pertains
to people who who may be this way because they
enlisted in the military, they were sent over to serve.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Oh. He also he also.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Claimed that when he was in the Marines, the Marines
he served with tried to murder him during the incident
where he was reportedly injured. So and he wrote a book,
a self published book about it called Headshot or something like,
there's so much going on here and in such a
small town, Like how many of you are listening and

(22:24):
you live in one of the smaller communities around the
triad or.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Triangle, right, one of the one of one of the little.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Towns that's on par with like Southport, Like you probably
have somebody. Because I grew up where I grew up
in Buffalo, Wyoming, I can tell you a couple of
crazy dudes and we were always just like, those are
the crazy dudes. You see him downtown whatever I talked about,
you know, when I lived in Raleigh, where that's a
bigger but especially in a smaller town, it just stands

(22:53):
out more like your parents by name will tell you, hey,
don't interact with these people, but that's not necessarily getting
them the treatment they need. And it is an absolute
tragedy if somebody signed up to serve this country had
an injury that changed their personality to the.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Point where this whole long list.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Remember the Picklar thing was in twenty twelve, twenty twelve,
we're thirteen years removed from that, and it's just a
laundry list of this and I don't know exactly how
you fix that, but it falls in that line of
things that are just so obvious. So you know, one

(23:36):
of the things I saw a chart where where they
talked about, you know, the how quickly we have forced
basically the idea of forcing somebody into mental health services.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
It was a really steady.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Line until about I don't know, twenty five thirty years ago,
and then it started to decrease. And then it just
really decreased, and it seemed to coincide a lot with
incarceration numbers and the penalties that we would hand out.
So that's why I don't necessarily trust Stein's thing, because
I think to some extent they go hand in hand.

(24:13):
But I don't care because I don't want a situation
twofold where one where people are just out trying to
enjoy themselves, avail themselves of all that North Carolina has
to off, or this goes nationwide. But let me talk
about North Carolina where somebody's you know, having a beach cocktail,
listening to live music and join themselves. It sounds like

(24:35):
by the way this dude made test runs. According to
other reporting, he would pull up in his boat to
see how close he could get if people wouldn't notice
with his lights off, which he can't run at night
with no lights on, so we'd get spooked if another.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Boat came by.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
But also, there should not be a situation where somebody
finds himself injured in combat or in training or within
service of this country where there is not some sort
of I don't want to say a red flag thing
because that people associate that with guns. But there needs
to be a mechanism where if you're a local municipality

(25:13):
and you have this going on and there is that
military connection, that in some way, shape or form, the
VA has some teeth to get this person help, and
in some cases, depending on their actions, whether they want.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
It or not.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
The problem is, it doesn't sound like this guy had
like literal violent run ins that I've seen, but may was.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
He's doing.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
So, and people smarter than me are going to have
to figure out what that looks like. But clearly, clearly
that may have prevented something this tragic. So the more
we learn, the more insane this whole thing gets. All right,
six forty five here on the Cacoday radio program. Coming
up on the show, Trump thinks he's figured out a
piece play. We'll see how that works. What that looks like, uh,

(26:03):
drug sniffing horses and the uh, well, we'll we'll have
a gas light off between Don Lemon and the governor
of Illinois, who is gas lighting better, you'll decide in
a few kc O day radio program.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
This is funny. Ross found this this morning, and it's
funny because.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
He sends me the link and I the first thought
I had was like it was probably different than most
people's first thought. And then I was so happy that
they leaned into it during the UH, during the actual
UH news coverage. So this is in Lubbock, Texas, and

(26:46):
UH if there's something and this isn't just Texas, in Wyoming,
Texas a lot of places and I know that we
have him down here, but it's really not uncommon. If
you're in Wyoming. If you ever go visit Wyoming, you've
probably seen this nearing Cody here, Sheridan or whatever. You'll
see you'll see mounted patrols on the regular and it's
the it's the whole cowboy vibe, pretty normal thing. In fact,

(27:11):
we had, you know, we had we knew who the
mounted officers were in Buffalo, we'd see him.

Speaker 7 (27:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
They have a bunch of them during you know, busier
tourist times, and the tourists like and they want to
pet the horses and it's it's it's a whole thing.
But those are police officers like just because they're not
in a squad car, they do everything else they can do,
and they will arrest you. And they rested my buddy
for drunkenly riding his horse in the middle of traffic.

(27:36):
Uh after the far and rodeo. They're in Johnson County. Johnson,
it's the ride Grub, not Johnston. And so with that
in mind, they're generally like I think they're a great
pr piece too. It's a lot easier to talk to
an officer is on the back of a horse than
one who's rolling through in a squad car. So they

(27:58):
love that down in Texas. So these theers who look
like they have a pretty good sense of humor. They're
just riding around and they come across these two individuals
and one of them they feel might have drugs. I
don't know all the reasoning that went into it. Maybe
past history, maybe they could smell it. And so they're
having a conversation with them because they want to search
this guy, and you know, they've asked to search him.

(28:20):
I don't know what the escalation would be next, whether
they have probable cause at that point, but it never
gets to that point because the suspect makes a decision,
and it's not a smart one.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Here we go.

Speaker 8 (28:32):
The Lovi Police Department smounted patrol unit was assisting routine
patrols when officers suspected the man they stopped for walking
in the street was in possession of illegal drugs.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
I guess I made a comment that was more of
a joke.

Speaker 7 (28:48):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I have a narcotic spelling horse.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Right here, all right, So I just stre clear because
it's a little He said, that's cool, I have a
narcotic smelling horse right here, which is the fun that's
the headline, that's the funny. I would because no, you don't.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
I mean, but if I'm the suspect, I look at
that horse and it's going to a big nose like.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
They do it.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
You have big noses, possible can smell the drugs. Yeah,
they have big, big, big nostrils because you know they
run a lot. And uh anyway, so me, okay, and again,
this dude might be high at that moment, we don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I would argue that he is because of what he does.
Next one, he.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Didn't take it that way. He took it seriously, and
then the chase was on.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
That's what he ran.

Speaker 9 (29:35):
But he kind of took off down the alley and
we thought he was joking, so I said, hey, well stop,
and then he kept running and I said, oh, he's
actually running, because I couldn't believe it. I thought he
was also joking initially of him just kind of like
running off and then coming back.

Speaker 10 (29:47):
Sure, he kept running, So.

Speaker 8 (29:49):
The officer's quickly caught up with the suspect, dashing his
dreams about running. The officer steams a.

Speaker 11 (29:55):
Lot of people that have kind of come before us
and have done mount of patrol for a while.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
They've all been in foot chases.

Speaker 11 (30:02):
Somebody is silly enough to eventually run from a horse.
I don't know why it happens we're gonna outrun them,
but it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
See, that's the and that's the craziest. That's the first
thing that popped in my head. It's like, I okay,
when I say, I get I understand logically how you
might believe you can outrun a police officer on foot.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Right, you know, we've seen it before, and I'm patrol label.
They've got a lot of gear on right, They've got
a lot right.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, not all of them are you know, you're a young,
fit person from of these officers, as Will Smith said,
a little pudgy around the middle.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
That's whatever.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
I even understand how you think you can outrun a
cop in a car because you can cut up a trail,
you know what I'm saying, You can run into the
there's a hundred things you can do, or the officer
is gonna have to get out of their car and
then that's a little bit of time. But a horse
can basically go where you go a lot faster, like
it's worst case than there.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
They can jump.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Stuff, it's not it's a The only thing that's dumber
is thinking you're gonna outrun a fir missile one of
those canine officers. But a horse, you're not gonna get
away like, oh, I'll run into the woods. Guess what
a horse runs in the woods.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I don't know if you know this.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
So yeah, I don't want to help any of our
would be criminals that might be catching this.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
But that's not.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Gonna work out for you ninety nine point nine percent
of the time. Not with a well trained horse. They're
all about running.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
You know what you need ross, we need patrol cheetahs
that would I think that that would be the ultimate.
Right there, get some patrol cheetahs, see if thing outrun them.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
You know, back in Wyoming.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
We actually had patrol pronghorn antelope, which is the fastest
creature in North America. But they're very small, so you
have to have very light officers that are on the
back of them because they're actually a lot smaller than
the deer. People don't know, but man, if you encounter
an officer in a looming on a patrol prong horned antelope,

(32:06):
just give it up, man, because they're gonna get you.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
And that's the way we like it.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
So they can they can hop too, Oh man.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Can they not really actually antelope? Antelope? You're thinking?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
So you're thinking a mule deer with that weird little
hop thing they do antelope or so they'll run through
a fence rather than jumping in. You know how many
antelope I've had to pick out of a fence. They're
still alive, which is a thankless thing because you got
to cut the barbed wire on whatever strand it is
and then immediately jump back so you don't get you know,
like what a cable snap so it doesn't twang back
and hit you. And sometimes they're just they're all rolled

(32:40):
up in there. There's nothing you can do, but yeah,
watch out for the mounted nanny goats is actually what
we would affectionately refer to them. So normally it would
be tomorrow at eight oh five when we would chat
with Congressman Brad Not We talked to him every other Wednesday,
except he wanted to do today. I'm assuming that has
to do with the looming government shutdown at the.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
End of the day today.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
And there's a lot of four D chests coming up
about this that I want to get into with him. Uh,
the biggest, the biggest piece of it is and I
have seen several posts about this, that it really frees
up the ability for a couple things to happen if
Democrats want to go this route where not only there

(33:26):
by the way, Ross, did you see the estimate that
they're estimating there could be up to one hundred thousand
federal employees that take that buy out today, because that's
still that's still a thing, and you can take it,
you know, you get a significant severance and and all
of that. I don't know, we'll see, but if it does,
even if they don't take the buyout. If if that happens,

(33:47):
the staffing, the way that they staff.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
The government falls.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
There's a lot more flexibility for the administration, so they
can they can cut a bunch of positions because there's
no funding for it. And then depending on the restart bill,
because a lot of times the restart bill will dictate
things like you got to do back pay, right, we
see that every time, depending on whether they're able to

(34:12):
hold firm on that. They could restaff it, but they
could like they could like maga up the bureaucracy. So look,
don't I don't know if that is one hundred percent accurate.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
That's why we're going to talk to.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
The congressman and Steve and Kent our nerd correspondent who's
normally on Thursday. I guess has another one of his
secret missions or something and can't do Thursday, but can
do Wednesday. So we're gonna slide him into the slot
that the Congressman would have been. Do we know what
Steven's doing on Thursday as part of his secret missions

(34:47):
all over the world.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
He keeps going on, you know, So he facetiming yesterday
to tell me he had to move the well he
couldn't do Thursday, but now Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (34:53):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
He said something about Burma and he was on a
like a rowing machine. He said he was preparing for
the boat Burma. He's gonna be the boat man, I
guess in Burma.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
But just a boat man.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
It's just right right. He's gonna stay in the boat.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Okay, promise, Pinky swear stay in the boat.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I didn't you didn't You didn't swear?

Speaker 3 (35:13):
So all right?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Well, well, uh, anyway ahead of his Burma mission, we'll
see how that goes. So you got to get everything
you normally get this week. Although Ross and I also
figured out that we normally cover politics if the government shut.
I mean, I don't know. I don't know if you
guys need us. There's nothing government need to explain to you.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Maybe we'll go to Burma too. I don't know, Ross,
you want to go to Burma here? It's nice this time.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
I would, but I'm very busy doing what show stuff.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Okay, all right, Well you got all those lost animals
you're looking for. Yeah, sheep got out to make a
goat got out. His monkey got while they found the monkey.
It didn't work out, you know, monkey got hit by
a car. Right, yeah, sorry, won't want all right, let
me let me kick over to a couple other things here.

(36:05):
So that's that's what That's what your week is going
to look like. I, for the life of me, I
think that we are we're getting into an era where
the level of gas lighting that you're seeing.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Uh. While it may have been.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Helpful for Democrats and Republicans had their era of it,
but now I don't know that they do it as much.
They do it so, but the stuff on the left
is bonkers. And at a time when you're hemorrhaging moderate
voters in the last two elections, it can't be productive,
but they keep it going. I'm gonna place some audio

(36:41):
for you. Try not to punch anything. Here is the
governor of Illinois the round a mound of bad sound.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
JB.

Speaker 10 (36:52):
Pritzburg for Donald Trump and the magas in Congress. This
is not about fighting crime or about public safety. This
is about sowing fear and intimidation and division among Americans.
It was about creating a pretext to send armed military
troops into our communities. This is about consolidating power in

(37:15):
Donald Trump's hands.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
I see what he.

Speaker 10 (37:18):
Plans to do with that power now or during the
twenty twenty six elections should worry all of us.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
All right, we'll worry.

Speaker 10 (37:27):
When you add to that the Trump administration's effort to
label as dangerous free speech critical of him. Oh, White
House senior staff calling the Democratic Party fascist?

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Oh the Trump Oh I gotta stop there. So your
beef is just so as I'm clear, you're upset that
they're sowing dangerous whatever. Because one of the people on
the White House stab is it Miller who said it?
I don't even know who said it, but probably Miller
label you fascist or the other people fascist? And you

(38:04):
don't think people should call each other fascist?

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Are you serious?

Speaker 10 (38:07):
Appointed FCC chair threatening to revoke broadcast licenses and the
approval of a merger in order to silence late night comedians.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Well, that's projection because they never actually said that other thing.
And you're interpreting the first.

Speaker 10 (38:22):
Thing, Trump's threats to jail political opponents. You cannot call
this anything except an attack on the constitution of the United.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
States, or you could call it what you've called Trump
and his people fourteen times in the last two years.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
I did see this fascists.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, yeah, So we're not to call people fascists, except
when you call people fascists and the people around you
call everyone on the right fascist.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
They've been doing it for like twenty years, Yeah, non
stop every day. And then you're, oh, how could this
have happened? Oh, I don't know, man, I have no idea.
It's a mystery.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
So if you a marginally plugged invote who goes either way,
you have to look at this and go I just
can't with these people, like, I don't know how this
is a There are a bunch of ways that Democrats
could be playing this right now, and they for whatever.
And there are some who I think have figured it out,
but the most devout among them are picking the worst

(39:19):
ways to do it now.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Don Lemon is an.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Elected official, but he is definitely an apparatus of the left.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
You think that was gaslighting.

Speaker 12 (39:29):
Listen to this, white men, something is broken, something is
cracked deep inside when so many of you believe the
answer to fear, to loss, to change is violence.

Speaker 7 (39:49):
Are you listening to me? I hope I'm saying it
loud enough for the people in the back.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
That's some that's some really racist stuff. So to reiterate
Don Lemon's point, white men, think the answer to everything
is violence. Do you have something statistically you want to
dive into on that, Don Lemon, because you know this
is one of those where if it was reversed, right,

(40:16):
and I'll just leave it there, because that's how incendiary
that that statement is.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
It's so dumb.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
Man.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Charlie Kirk was assassinated in front of everybody because apparently
he was a fascist, as the assassin said, and his
bullet said, right right, right, right right. And and what
happened in response where cities burned down? Was anyone attacked?
Or was there a giant church service? In his memory?

Speaker 7 (40:39):
Like?

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Which one was it?

Speaker 2 (40:41):
I got? Which one? I don't remember?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
And when they had these memorials, you had one side
that couldn't stand it and would paint over them or
call him bomb threats. Right, yes, but that only happened
like once, right, one place, by one incident. You can't
one incident wrong?

Speaker 2 (41:00):
That does not?

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Can I use that to gauge every Oh, it happened everywhere, Okay,
all right, including multiple places in North Carolina? Yeah, looking
at that, Okay, I'm now again, Don Lemon is I
would say he's a TV personality, but he's not even
that anymore. But like that is some really really racist

(41:23):
stuff there. And again you just you give it the
reverse test. Give it the reverse test. That's the easiest thing.
That's the thing people will harp on. But in this
case it's absolutely accurate.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Crazy claiming there's like no minorities on the right. Is
that he's because the.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Boy, but he's also he's also like the pro I
think what he's doing is he's baiting people who want
to pull FBI crime statistics so he can call him racist.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
That is my personal opinion.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I think that's what he's going for because in his mind,
if you want to get into an argument based on
crimes based on skin color, which is the which is
literally what he's talking about, than anyone who robuts him
with the you know, the FBI crime numbers or anecdotal things,
then he can screen their rasis and go, see, I

(42:09):
told you so, it's bait.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
It's just bait, that's what it is. It's just lazy,
lazy bait.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Hear it.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
But to be fair, again, he's not an elected official,
like I don't know the Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffery
back got come to.

Speaker 13 (42:24):
A conclusion a few years ago that while Jim Crow
may be dead, he's still got some nieces and nephews that.

Speaker 7 (42:31):
Are alive and well.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
Trouble all around us.

Speaker 13 (42:37):
If we want to move the country forward, they want
to turn back to clack. We're fighting hard to bring
people together. They are tearing us apart. We fight for
the people, They fight for the privileged few.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
It's just such projection. See.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
You know, there's a term that I think people have
probably heard, and you just you hear it, and then
he just kind of slips, and that's the ball organization
of things. Do you understand what they mean by the
Balkanization of things, because that is that is probably the
most accurate strategy that I'm seeing from people like Keem Jeffers.

Speaker 7 (43:10):
So it just.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Refers to the Balkans, and it refers to everything you know,
Kosovo and slovanam Melosovich and you know, all of these
people that created all of that strife because they took
while not a homogeneous group of people based on certain
religious differences and some you know, longstanding ethnic differences, and

(43:33):
they turned that part of the world for most of
my childhood into an absolute healthscape war zone because you
had you know, you had these various interests, and they
you know, they broke up all of these different countries,
and they broke up these different groups, and they had
war after war, and they had they had literal, literal genocide,

(43:55):
not to pretend stuff that the UN's doing talking about
right now. And it was done in kind of the
same fashion that you have the audio I just played,
you man, That's why, you know, that's why when one side,
for the most part, is kind of live and let live.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
And the other ones like, no.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
You will pledge fielty or you're not like us, and
you need you know, then you need to be set.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
You need to be.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Othered, is the term that they use. It's really it's
just such a dangerous time with all this stuff. I
don't celebrate it, even though it makes my job easier
because it gives you things to be outraged about and
play on the radio. It's just really really depressing to watch.
All right, let me grab a quick phone call here, Anthony.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (44:42):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 14 (44:43):
How come nobody's brought up Chuck Schumer and the baileies?
Is he is he consulting the bailies for the government
shut down?

Speaker 2 (44:51):
I don't know what the Baileyes. Think of this.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
If you guys don't know, The Baileys are a couple
on Long Island that throughout Schumer's tenure he has always
claimed to salt and use as as sort of a
temperature taker. And then we find out they don't exist.
And yet he's been worked on for twenty years, probably.

Speaker 7 (45:09):
Wrote a book about him.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Yeah, well, I only mentioned him what like three hundred
times or something.

Speaker 14 (45:15):
If I get two hundred page books, they will be brainwashed,
their dumb.

Speaker 7 (45:18):
Ones, you know what I mean. It's easier.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, But I think, I think to some extent, and
I think that you saw it, and thanks for the
call there, sir. I think what you saw in the
last election was there's a lot more people that are
not falling for it. That's why it's so dangerous to
continue down that road. If I could give some political
advice because people aren't falling for it to the same extent.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
All right.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
By the way, we're just talking about the uh what
is this? Boston, Paul have had it on for an
hour now and we haven't had any mention of Deva
Ross's script. Bro.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
We opened the show with it.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
And I'm gonna hit it again here at seven point thirty,
because that deserves Hey, Boston Paul, didn't you used to
ride a police horse?

Speaker 2 (45:59):
How many it's ran from you?

Speaker 3 (46:02):
That's how he took down Whatddy Boulterer and the horse.
Everybody knows this. It was in that movie Black Mass
So Johnny.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Desk it was. I love that movie. It wasn't in
the movie.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
There's no Boston Paul on a horse chasing down Johnny
Depp's character.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
I mean they cut it out. It's in the criterion
edition because people saw it and they were like, that's so, like,
I don't believe it, But it did actually happen. He
chased them down to the back alleys of Boston on the.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Horse Santa Monica. That's where it was.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
No, no, no, no, this is previously in Boston.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
I don't really have alleys there in Santa Monica because
it'd be full of homeless that they did. So he
chased So I'm clear this must have been in the
director's cut, because I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
Somewhere around that nineteen eighty seven or something.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Like, you think somewhere that's not even the right time. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Hold on, when Don is trying to say mash shooters
are white. Yeah, no, no, no, I understand that, but he
intentionally didn't say that. He said white men are violent
when they don't get their way. He intentionally didn't make
that because again, I think it's bait. I understand what
you're saying there, John in your email, and I think

(47:07):
you're right, But I think he figured it was easier
to bait if he left that little part, that little
part out right there. All right, So coming up on
the show, Yeah, we got the Deva Ross and Sandy,
we'll play that again because it's just so mind blowingly stupid.
And this comes from a hearing that took place in
Charlotte yesterday, excuse me, where they were speaking with victims,

(47:31):
families of you know, had lost their loved ones or
in some cases been victimized by career criminals that did
you know, dozens and I mean literally dozens of very
heinous crimes in some instances, and yet we're out on
the street to do more heinous crimes. And Deva Ross
made a big old whoopsie. That whoopsie doesn't even begin

(47:55):
to describe it. So if you haven't heard the audio,
that'll be coming up at seven thirty five, we'll take
a quick break. Me right back here on the CaCO
Day radio program Deva Ross Audio again, because it's just
so amazing and not in any good way, but it's
one of those where you listen to it and you
just stop and stare like, I'm sorry, did that just happen?

(48:17):
As part of a hearing that took place yesterday down
in Charlotte on violent crimes, you have several members of Congress,
You've got families, victims, families testifying, you have police right,
and you have a bunch of partisan attacks. But boy,
oh boy, the way that thing kicked off was pretty crazy,
and all of this leading into a government shutdown at

(48:38):
the end of the day. Today, meanwhile, Senate Democrats will
be planning they're going to go on a two day
getaway to five star resort there in California's Wine Country.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
I've driven by this place. They're gone. It's very.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Very weighty toity. I've not had the pleasure of staying there.
I'm sure it's very nice inside, but you know, for
the men and women of the peep, I was a
little surprised when I was able to determine exactly how
much these rooms cost. And you can see their itinerary
there because somebody saw one of the invites. So they
got you know, the ebasuss you got a spa. They're

(49:15):
gonna go to this really nice uh Michelin starred restaurant
and have a grand old time. All right, Ross, Remember
this is the Party of the People, and this is
in a government shutdown. So what do you think the
cost per night of these rooms on by way, on
the night that it's happening. So I went and did

(49:35):
a little search. Is for the Democrats there at the
Party of the People.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Oh man, So with pressure, two hundred dollars, Bob a
little higher, oh man, two fifty buck.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
This is in wine country, California, Catalina wine mixer.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
I'm gonna go five hundred buck.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Catalina is in south. This is in the north.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
So I'm gonna go seven fifty bucks.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
So you're gonna have, don't my lord? Surely?

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Nine to fifty bucks.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
It's near Pelosi's vineyard. Twelve fifty one and twenty four dollars.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
I was so close.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
One thousand. This is per night, one thousand, nine hundred
and twenty four dollars. Now that room's very nice. I
will say that so that is so that is the
hotel room included with the spat package and the dining package,
which are part of literally the invitation there. So so
that will get you the room, a fifty minute massage,

(50:29):
and a one hundred dollars spot credit, as well as
a prefixed dinner at this restaurant. So one thousand, nine
hundred and twenty four dollars Party of the people, Party
of the people.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
All right, we go have a quick phone call here. Hey,
it's Janet. What's up? Janet?

Speaker 6 (50:45):
Hey, Casey, I was just some sort of lessist that
you were playing the little clips.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Or whatever and slighteth on.

Speaker 6 (50:52):
Yes, yeah, and it makes perfect sense. I've been summon
at a school with below seventh trade.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Well, hold hold on, hold on, chan, hold on, you're
shaping young minds.

Speaker 6 (51:10):
Yeah, in a very controlled way.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Okay, okay, all right, how's that work it out?

Speaker 1 (51:15):
I just want to I just want to point out, Janet,
I love you, but I'm very curious how your classroom functions.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Hey, she very rarely swears in the in front of
the presence of children, so you know I do.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
So right, all right, all right, so right, how's it
been going. How's that experience for you.

Speaker 6 (51:35):
It's pretty awesome. I love the kids, they're they're amazing.
But you know, the school that I can go to
is in a very leftist area. And the other day
they were playing this Jeopardy type game where all the
kids were answering question as a group. Okay, and well,
the question was which of these principalities is around my

(51:56):
king and queen? The answers for a democracy over a
public monarchy or an oligarchy.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (52:03):
You know, every one of those kids in that class
raised their hand when she said, visit a republic. They
think that a republic is run by king and queen.
And then she told them that we live in a democracy,
which I mean is half true.

Speaker 7 (52:18):
We live in a democratic.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Republic, a constitutional republic. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
I'm okay with kids messing up republican democracy very young,
so for the purpose of correcting them.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
But right, the king and queen thing, that's a little.

Speaker 6 (52:35):
Right, And it's all from what they're learning from their
parents from the school.

Speaker 7 (52:40):
Because I've noticed that that same school.

Speaker 6 (52:43):
That offers them nothing but left us propaganda to do
reports and you know, casual reading on they got books
in there by that crazy woman that thinks America has
founded in sixteen nineteen instead of seventeen seventy five, dominant avoy, Did.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
We dodge a bullet without having that lady come on
at u n see? Holy crap?

Speaker 6 (53:06):
Yeah, well, I mean it doesn't matter that she's not
in the college, because they're shoving it now in the
kid's throats from like the first grade home of course.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
All right, well, that sounds like you're gonna be well
rounded and educated individuals running around thinking that Donald Trump's
a king. And I'm actually surprised that they didn't think
he was an oligarch an oligarchy, right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (53:25):
Right, yeah, I have to bite my tongue a lot
until it bleeds.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I imagine. Yeah, all right, Janet, you're doing God's work,
so I'll let you get back to it.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
All right.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
I'll bet those kids aren't screwing around though in that class,
probably not behavioral issues that those sorted out real quick.
Why'd you think I meant that she was swearing at
the kids. I just meant that she would, you know,
keep order, That's all I was implying. By the way,
what happened to the other caller one to explain to

(53:58):
me that Republicans, uh are the gas light?

Speaker 3 (54:01):
I don't know. I picked up the phone and he
was like, wow, Republicans gaslight click Like okay.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
The gaslight click oh clicks that down the phone made
when the coward hung out, Okay.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
All right, you got it, you got you got me?

Speaker 2 (54:13):
There?

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Did I not say the Republicans gaslight as well? Although
right now they're not like they're more good. Republicans are
more gas lighting. They would do a lot more gas
lighting if if Democrats weren't so proficient at destroying themselves.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
At the moment. Does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (54:32):
But clearly that's not A guy listens to the show
because like I love excoriating everybody I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
I'm just calling it like I see it.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Right now, the majority of the gas lighting I'm seeing
is coming from the Democrats, like the really over the
top stuff, and the Republicans are going art of war
on this really for the most part, like don't interrupt
your enemy when they're making mistakes.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
But they've done that now forever as long as I
can remember. And it's a matter of especially when it
comes to the term and the like fascist, right, look
at it that's come out about recently, just in the
past week with YouTube involving Hey, yeah, the Biden administration
was was, you know, asking us to take down or
sensor certain videos and accounts. We know what happened with
Twitter and the X files before Elon asked it. And

(55:12):
now look YouTube, it has some way. It came out yesterday.
They have to pay Trump twenty four point five million. Yeah,
for what they did in his account. That is literal fascism.
That is fascism, and it came.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Well, the fascist part is in YouTube. It's why YouTube
did it.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
The fascist part is because and we've seen you go
back to the stories where we saw them, remember when
they were going through the X files or the Twitter files,
but you know you call them the x files. They
were going through and Matt Tayev was releasing those communications
from from the White House, people who were screaming at Twitter,
people screaming at them, we will ruin you if you

(55:48):
done abide by this.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Hey, you had government working hand in hand with corporations
to censor Americans. It's a literal fascism and it came
from one side of the aisle consistently.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Yeah, they're not even calling the person in as much
as you're calling the technique it right, You're calling you're
saying this is this is again literal literally a hallmark.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Of fascism there.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
So that's why, and that is why that mushy metal
is is. That's why you're losing Hispanic men and black
men too. I don't like there's a laser lock on
college educated women.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
I don't. I don't know how you.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Crack that nut, but holy hell, you know why. I
you know why, because people can I say something that's
going to give me in trouble. Ross dyve permission to
say something that's giving me in trouble. I mean, I
would prefer not all right, I'm gonna say it. Men
have better BS detectors. I I I don't know why

(56:48):
that is. I just feel that I have no science
to back that up. That's just been my experience. I
think men have better BS detectors, and I don't know
why that is. And by the way, that's not every
man and every woman. I just think in general, men
have better BS detectors, and I'm happy to I'm happy

(57:08):
to debate and discuss this. I think I I I
don't know for for certain things, I think women have
better BS detectors when it comes to interpersonal things. Does
that make sense? I think when you're dealing with family issues,
you're dealing with infidelity.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
I think all that.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I think that you know, I don't think men pick it.
It's just a weird thing.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
But I think when you get into like here's a
scam on the internet, here's a guy, you know, here's
a guy who's saying something, I don't necessarily believe it.
And I don't know if it's some innate thing where
men were the protectors from outside forces and women were
the nurtures internally and that's where their.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Skill set lies. I don't know. Ross, am I wrong?
Ross is very busy.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
I mean, I mean it sounds right.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
It sounds right, doesn't it. And I don't know.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Again, I was the first to admit I don't have
any science to back that up, but it just mentally
tracks for me. Just women have better BS detectors internally
and within interpersonal things, and men have better BS detectors
as it pertains to the outside world and how it
may impact their family, and it's it goes back to
the innate protector of one's family kind of idea. I

(58:22):
know that we're not allowed to acknowledge innate qualities anymore.
But I really feel like that's probably accurate. Let's drag
Race Stagic into this mix.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
No thanks, Yeah, I just hear. So I just suggested.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
I think men have better BS detectors when it's evaluating
outside things, like, you know, because we're protectors, whereas women
have better BS detectors when he deals internally. Like that's
why I think women are a lot easier to pick
up if somebody is being unfaithful versus a guy. Men
are stupid, right, It's like we'll just yeah, outside stuff,
then we're Johnny on the spot on that stuff because

(58:56):
we don't harm our family.

Speaker 15 (58:57):
Yeah, right outside your outside the family, I try us nobody.
So yeah, exactly, And that's what I preach to my family.
I tell my girls, I don't trust anybody or anything
that you hear, always verify.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Yeah you know, yeah, you're right inside the family. It's
either I don't care, but it's inside the trust zone, right.

Speaker 15 (59:18):
In the circle in the circle, yeah circle. Yeah, it's
just either I don't care or like my wife's just
I'm like, yeah, you handle that. So it's it's more
like I don't really pay attention. Yeah, that's the way
it is, like you said, in most cases.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Yeah, you know, there's you know, your experience may vary.
So we scared, we scared the hurricane away. Did redneck
shoot at it.

Speaker 10 (59:40):
Once?

Speaker 2 (59:41):
If that works once, God help us.

Speaker 7 (59:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (59:46):
And you know, the models are pretty good on picking
up the area of rain that kind of sat over
central North Carolina yesterday on again, off again even this
morning seeing a fair batch of light moderate rain.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Saw almost an inch of rain in some spots.

Speaker 15 (01:00:03):
Some saw over that and over the last three hours
in and around the triangle got point one three at
carry point one to five Liberty try it not so much,
but this little patch is going to diminish an intensity
and coverage here as we pushed through this morning, but
up in Granville County, Caswell County and getting up into
southern Virginia's actually raining had a pretty decent clip as

(01:00:23):
you go up even into northern Durham County. But that's
all moving north. Scattered areas of our rain around this morning,
so a little bit slow even out in Winston Salem
and you get toward Gatkinville and fitting Bermuda runs out
there too. So if you're out in that area and
around the Tria too. There's some rain around and it'll
go away eventually to and then this afternoon some showers

(01:00:45):
and then we're going to kind of reset, and we
start tomorrow and October with some beautiful weather mid to
upper seventies with sunshine, lows at night into the fifties,
maybe even some upper forties to the west. And then
Thursday Friday sunny, upper sixties to maybe the low to
mid seventies, depending on where you are, and I think
it's going to continue into the weekend. So cut of
Kardi again today that it's gonna get real nice as

(01:01:07):
we can get to October.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Okay, all right, because we got to make up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
For this man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Oh yeah, this is uh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
We're we're in what should be wonderful football and golf weather.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
And everybody's already asking me that.

Speaker 15 (01:01:20):
They're like, is it going to clear out for the weekend,
And I'm like, yeah, it'll clear out for the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Weekend should be great, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
All right, And he's got to be better watching the
Jets play. So all right, thank you, sir, I appreciate it,
see and we'll come back. I will play the devas
audio next and the Congressman Brad Not he'll join us
eight oh five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Stick around.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
So a hearing yesterday in Charlotte, home of the Charlotte
Tutans took place, and they were, you know, talking about
victims and the families left behind, and policing and not
policing specifically by policy, and everything under the sun. But

(01:02:02):
the stars of the show, if you will, that I
hate to describe it like that, but the people who
were there were victims of people who were killed by
career criminals.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Career criminals that probably should have been on the street
arenas the roots.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Guys obviously the highest profile one in the news recently.
But there was another tragic incident with the girl by
the name of Logan Federico. Her father was there, and
Deborah Ross, who is one of the most robotic interviews
we've ever had on this show, started in her opening
statement addressing the father of Logan Federco as a young
woman who she went to University of South Carolina to

(01:02:39):
visit friends.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
She was not enrolled there. She was a nurse.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
She wanted to be a nurse, I believe, and she
went down to visit her friend and just hang out,
and they went to bed, and in the middle of
the night, a career criminal breaks in, rips her out
of bed naked, kneels her on a floor, and executes
her so that he can then spend on her credit
cards till they get shut off. And so Deva Ross

(01:03:02):
is sitting there holding up or pointing to a picture
of Arena Zarutzka while addressing this guy who that is
not his daughter, and the insult and the anger that
washed over this man created this very awkward situation for Ross,
who then starts apologizing kind.

Speaker 4 (01:03:20):
Of long before this hearing particularly, Oh, I'm sorry, I
am so sorry, I am so sorry.

Speaker 16 (01:03:31):
Thank you so much for bringing that. Thank you, thank you, sir.
I am so sorry for you. I'm before I am
so I'm so sorry for your loss. And my heart
goes out to you. My heart goes out to you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Did not know her?

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
How dare you not know her?

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
Then they finally turned his mic gun. I mean, mind blowing,
absolutely mind blowing. How you screw that up, especially and
you have your staff prep you for something like this.
The only worst thing I guess is, she pointed at
a picture of the perpetrator. I can't think how to
make it worse and Dad wasn't done dead.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Gone?

Speaker 5 (01:04:14):
Why because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested thirty nine
damn times twenty five felonies, was on the street. How
about that? How good are we doing for our family?
How good are you doing for your kids? He should

(01:04:38):
have been in jail for over one hundred and forty
years for all the crimes he committed. You know how
much time he's spent in prison, a little over six
hundred days in ten years. He's only thirty years old.
He was committing two point sixty five crimes a.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
Year on d Day, if you will, up in Washington,
d C.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
So very very appropriate that rather than doing on Wednesday
what we normally do on Wednesday with Congressman Brad Not,
we're going to do it today. So let me go
ahead and welcome him to the show. How are you
doing this morning?

Speaker 7 (01:05:13):
Hey, Kathy? I'm doing great. I hope you are.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
I'm very good, and I want to get into all
the intricacies and the weird forty chest predictions and all that,
but I got to ask you a quick, excuse me question.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
First.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
I'm not a member of Congress, so I don't know
how it works, but maybe you can fill us in.
Let's say you're in a congressional hearing or a hearing
of some sort, and you're hearing testimony from the families
of people who were brutally murdered by career criminals. Should
you conflate the different victims with the different families or
is that? Would that be a faux paws?

Speaker 7 (01:05:48):
Can you believe that I know what you're referring to?
And that was a tremendous faux pas And candidly, I
think it was a very revealing mythstaff, whether it was staff,
whether it was her own issue with, you know, getting prepared,
I don't know. But the main reason that the two
Democrat representatives were at that hearing was to confuse, obfuscate, shift,

(01:06:14):
and try to hide the Democrats record on crime to
protect boy Cooper and Governor Stein.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
That's it.

Speaker 7 (01:06:21):
They threw out misleading stats, they threw out incomplete data.
They ran as fast as they could away from the
policies that they designed, and it was very disheartening. They
could not have cared less about the victims, They could
not have cared less about how downtown Charlotte is in
the throes of a violent crime explosion. Ian Casey. I

(01:06:42):
got their own witness to admit that his report was
based off of unreliable data and that his homicide statistics
were incomplete. He said, homicides are down, and he said,
we're excluding one point five million dead Americans who have
lost their lives because of homicidal do drug distributions? It

(01:07:06):
was the Democratic Party was a joke yesterday and uh,
I hope people will pay attention to it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
Well, we play that that Ross said, I have to
tell you, and I mean, this is more personal me.
But I interviewed Deva Ross when she first ran, and
it was the weirdest interview and I like, it was
so robotic and you talk to me, I'm I'm not
a straight interviewer. Like I probably I'll ask questions just
to like make people uncomfortable sometimes probably say things that

(01:07:35):
they you know, it's like, can we just move on
to the next question? But like we were, I was
unable to extract a moment of humanism from her, and
it was just so weird, and I just chalked it
up to maybe she was uncomfortable on the radio.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Is she always like that when you guys are talking
about stuff? Is she just distant?

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
And if to me, this is my opinion, it feels
very uncaring or can she Can she human and have
a conversation when you guys need to figure stuff out.

Speaker 7 (01:08:03):
Well, look, she she is in my building. She's Daba
Hall for me. We we interact as professionals. Actually jump
on a bill with her that is aimed at protecting
intellectual property from the music industry and kind of upstart artists.
But she's a hardened leftist and she was, you know,
she she she she very much is committed to the

(01:08:26):
leftis cause and uh that's that's sort of where it sits.
And uh, she would she wouldn't dispute that she's a
very committed progressive and at the heart of the progressive policies,
especially as it relates to crime. It is an uncaring posture.
It doesn't take into account the victims, and uh, there's
really no defense for it. And that's what we saw yesterday.

(01:08:47):
And it's again I hope that people are paying attention
to it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
How would your staff normally prepare you I'm assuming they would,
maybe not to the extent that Joe Biden got prepared
with those weird cards we saw, but you know, the
witnesses listed in the announcements, because you guys have to
do public announcements for these hearings. I'm on the email list.
I see these things every day. Clogg a ma inbox,
but I can go review who's on there. There's a
short little bio. I'm assuming that your staff prepares you

(01:09:13):
a little something. Has probably got their picture in it.
Plus you guys have name tags in front of people.
Just take a moment to explain that, and then we'll
get over to the shutdown stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:09:22):
Yep. The hearing yesterday was called a field hearing. We
were to hear from victims it had suffered because of
ineffective law enforcement policies. And there were several victims present
or parents of victims, and we read their briefing, we
read their summaries, we got identifiers for who they were,

(01:09:44):
what they were going to testify about. But again Miss
Adams and Miss Ross were not there to engage because
what we were engaging it set a very poor light
on Democrat policies as relates to crime. I mean, we're
talking pashless valet to this judges, activist magistrates, you know,
reducing tough sentencing laws, trying to do away with criminalization

(01:10:09):
of hard drugs. All these things are pillars the Democratic
Party and progressive uh, you know, fighting crime policies, and uh,
there's no way defended. And so she was there to
confuse and obfuscate as it relates to Roy Cooper, who's
running for Senate. That's the reason why she was there.
Every Democrat on the committee was invited. Only two showed up,

(01:10:30):
and they were there to obstruct and to confuse. And
it's a it's a real shame. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
I heard her going in about how the North Carolina
legislature won't give money for the DA in Mecklenburg County.

Speaker 7 (01:10:41):
Give me a break.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Well, if you don't give me a break, money to
put criminals already. But all right, let me let me
have right, Yeah, let me let me. Let me pivot
over to what's going on. This is how I understand it.
Please correct me anything that I have wrong. The Republicans
won a clean continuation of accepted law, long term, you know,
normal spending for seven weeks, then you guys work it out.

(01:11:04):
The Democrats want some temporary spending extended as it pertains
to a variety of things, but up to and including
healthcare for people who are in the country illegally some
of the trans issues. Is that an accurate recitation of
the sticking point here or is there more going on?

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
Ultimately, yes, the Republicans are trying to buy about eight
weeks to finish our appropriations process. The Appropriations Committee on
the Republican side in the House is going through line
by line over the Democrats' obstruction on the committee to
formulate a budget proposal. Normal course, we're trying to restore it.
The Democrats have voted against that. They're using this funding

(01:11:49):
deadline to try to reinsert portions that we've already removed
from federal spending. You know, whether it's health care for
illegal immigrants, whether it's money for esque gender surgeries abroad,
whether it's trying to remove rural health care dollars, whether
it's even giving your tax dollars back to woke media,

(01:12:09):
propping up PPS and otherwise. They're trying to get this
back on the federal book of business. And you know,
it's it's outrageous. I wish we could have used this
to cut spending. We compromised, we did a clean cr
The Democrats are fighting it ultimately for political reasons. I mean,
the unwritten rule here is casey Chuck Schumer is petrified

(01:12:31):
of AOC actually and literally across the party he is,
he is he would lose a primary to her if
she runs against him.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
In the setting on with I'm sure.

Speaker 7 (01:12:45):
Yeah, yep, I was getting ready to say, Hakeem Jeffries
is petrified of Mondami. Uh you know that's that's the
undercurrent here that's driving to shut down narrative.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Oh that's crazy, It's so crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
So let me let me talk about the four G
chess side of this too, because I've seen a lot
of conservative you know, we'll call them the thinkers on there,
and they're like, no, this is great because if they
shut it off, one hundred thousand people may take the
buyouts at the federal level, but the Republicans the administration
will be able to purge some of the bureaucracy and
then only if they want.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
To rebuild it, they can stuff it with mega right.
So this is the stuff you read. I don't like.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
Talk to me about the process, what happens, and what advantages.
I think we all know that Trump's not going to
handle it like anyone else handles it because of who
he is. So what is the upside. What is the downside?
If Democrats really want.

Speaker 7 (01:13:35):
To force this, well, we all know, I hope that
we have a spending problem. Government employment is a tremendous
driver of the spending issues we have. It's an easy reduction.
When COVID happened, there was a bloat under Joe Biden
of federal employment. He used the federal government as a
charity to give people employment. Of course, it's silly, it's wasteful,

(01:13:55):
it's counterproductive, it stops the economy from working and many respects.
And when the president is exercising authority during a shutdown,
his powers are increased. You have to deem what's essential
what's not essential, and he will have more latitude to
reduce the force of government workers. And what he is

(01:14:17):
hoping to do is to bring us back to what
was basically the Norman twenty and nineteen, maybe a little
bit below that if we can, which is not radical,
it's not draconian. It's just simply saying we don't need
to have hundreds of thousands of unproductive bureaucrats on the
taxpayer's doll And if we do go to a shutdown,

(01:14:38):
the ability to reduce the force will be, it'll be
exercised and the president can do it. And I think
that we can expect that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
We're chatting with Congressman Brad Not you're on the CaCO
Day radio program. I saw another theory. This is why
I had ross By producer ask you before the show
where you're at that you all were going to skinadle
out towns so no deal could be made because yesterday
you wouldn't make a deal. What happened last night where
this thing kind of like it didn't work out? And

(01:15:09):
are you guys going to go into hiding as I
saw one on the left accusing you of no, I'm.

Speaker 7 (01:15:14):
In Washington right now, Casey, and what we are doing
what we proposed the Democrats did almost twenty times under
Joe Biden. It was a straightforward continuation of spending. It's
a twenty page document. There's no games, no gimmicks, no
nothing frivolous in here from the Republicans. The Democrats are
the ones again Chuck Schumer is appeasing his radical days

(01:15:37):
to avoid primaries, to avoid their ear. They're the ones
that are playing games here in gimmicks. They will benefit
politically by being seen as quote quote fighting Donald Trump
So they're going to fight for again health care for illegals,
dollars for transitioning surgeries for miners overseas. They want to
gut what we've done, the Big beautiful bill. They want

(01:15:59):
to reinstate the taxes. It's outrageous. So we're not playing games.
We're ready to move forward with normal process. And we're ready.
Like I said, I'm in Washington right now, and we'll
see what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
What are people going to see?

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Are you guys gonna put barricades around inanimate stone objects again?
Or is that just a feature of the Obama era
with the Barry Cave.

Speaker 7 (01:16:21):
You know that that's above my pay grade. But I
have seen no evidence that there's gonna be any barricade.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Okay, good.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
How about shutting parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway off
like they did under the Obama shutdown so that people
want to go look at the leaves change are encumbered.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Is that something that's you know, gonna happen again.

Speaker 7 (01:16:38):
That's that's above my pay grade.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
I don't see that happening, okay, because that would be
really bad for North Carolina right there would be Yeah,
it would be really bad. There's the leaves change all right,
let me pivot over. The congressman is also a prosecutor.
So I'm very curious you're taking all this Komi stuff.
What do we think of this, because now it's like.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
It's pure dictatorship, is what I heard on CNN yesterday.

Speaker 7 (01:17:05):
Well, you know, I'll say this to the listeners. He
was not charged by way of criminal complaint. It was
an indictment that was issued by a grand jury, and
by any metric, it was a progressive area, the Northern
Virginia essentially, and a grand jury heard evidence and they
returned an indictment that said that he was untruthful to Congress.

(01:17:25):
And the way this is going to work is he'll
be before a court. He will obviously be released. I
don't think there's any way that they would detain him
pre trial. And then there'll be either a plea deal
or a trial, and there'll be a jury and paneled
and someone will have to defend Jim Comey and say
he was absolutely truthful before Congress, or the jury will

(01:17:49):
will convict him. And I think, you know, candidly, there's
a lot of evidence to indicate that he was purely
a political actor. He was not fully forthcoming before Congress
under os and that's a huge problem. That's a huge problem.
And regardless of these charges, uh, Tumy really degraded the
standing of law enforcement. He he works feverishly against President Trump.

(01:18:11):
He was not an above board actor, and he's done
a grave disservice to law enforcement around the country, regardless
of how these charges end up.

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
His lawyer, by the way, do you see his who
his lawyer is?

Speaker 6 (01:18:23):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
This is not now, it's it's Pat Fitzgerald, which, oh
my goodness. Yeah, this is the guy for people don't remember.
I believe he's the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
What it was that Arthur Anderson all this stuff, Like,
this guy is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
All right, I'm gonna have time to get into all
of it. But it's a very interesting choice. I mean,
clearly it's a guy you've said dabbled in a ton
of government stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:18:45):
But oh yeah, I mean it's Jim Comey is part
of the Washington Club. That's uh. I mean, he has
access to all the halls of power, all the power players,
and he's gonna he's gonna try his best to weasel
out of it, so we'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
Yeah, this is he was the Scooter Libby guy too.
I think it was Fitzgerald. Yeah, oh man.

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
I mean, if there's a swamp, he's the toxic avenger.
So this will be interesting to watch, all right. I
gotta pivot over to this. And I think it has
some bearing too in the in the hearing that you
guys had, because now as we start seeing the background
of the man who's accused of shooting up the bar
down there in Southport, which.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
I'm sure you've been there been, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
A fun it's what a fun area in North Carolina.
Maybe you go over to bald Head, you stop there
at the restaurants and bars. Nobody's thinking like this is
something like this is coming, But it's painting a picture
of a guy going back to his Marine Corps service
who suffered injury, who going back as far as twenty twelve,
started filing all these crazy lawsuits, having weird interactions and

(01:19:49):
you know, all these things that were red flags upon
red flags that also spoke to maybe one of our
service members who was injured, not getting the treatment they needed,
and escalating to this point. So how important is it
to you to these are things that we can attempt
to solve. How important is it to you to try
to solve things like this. I got about a minute

(01:20:09):
and a.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Half, and how do you do that?

Speaker 7 (01:20:12):
Well, it's very important. First is we have to restore
the VA to an actual provider of healthcare as opposed
to a bureaucracy. Secondly, we have to empower law enforcement
to actually enforce the law, that includes investigations, that includes
investigators when there's something suspicious. We've got to do it.
And law enforcement has been crippled for a variety of reasons,

(01:20:34):
whether it's the open borders, the surgeon of illegals, the
you know, the uncompetitive salaries, whatever it is. There's a
lot of reasons why we are unable to investigate this
type of actor, and we need to handle all of
those things.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
Yeah, it's just there's it's easy to Monday morning quarterback,
but I don't think you ought a Monday morning on
this one.

Speaker 7 (01:20:54):
And that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
I'll be interested to see what you guys do, and
I'll be interested to see what happens at this point.
You're predict fifteen seconds, are we gonna do a shutdown today?

Speaker 7 (01:21:02):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:21:02):
Or no?

Speaker 7 (01:21:04):
I'm assuming we will.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Unfortunately, all right, Well we'll chat soon and we'll see
how this pans out. Congressman, I appreciate it and wall
you soon. All right, there you go, Congressman Brad not
here on the KCO Day radio program. So it looks
like this thing's gonna happen. We got lots more to
get into next.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
Hang on,
