Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here on the case of day radio program. Dude, I'm
just reading this flyer. I just saw this thing.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You want to go to a work conference to, uh,
you know, build some skills?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I mean, do I get the day off from worker?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, yeah, you're not. You're not on the air necessarily,
but you would be at the conference kind of. Let's see,
because the conference starts Friday and runs through Sunday, So
I guess we'd have to send you up there Philly.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I can't do that on the weekend. Unfortunately, not available
on the weekend. So but that's when the conference can't
do it. Can't do it.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
But don't you want to learn various skill sets at
different breakout sessions over the three day conference in Philadelphia?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I guess it depends like what are the skill sets?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well? Okay, Well, first of all, it's called the Annual
Philly Skills Share Convergence, right, Uh, and uh it's for
it's a radical action conference. Would say that you might
call them, what's the sort of ANTIFA?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
The first roadblock there because I don't mean I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Okay, okay, but then maybe you would get a better
understanding of what is you know, I want to say
the enemy.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
You're like a Donnie Brosco, like going under cover.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yes, we'll get you a fake mustache. You want a
fake mustache?

Speaker 3 (01:25):

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yes, Okay, well I got a collection. So look look here,
I'm just looking at the various breakout sessions. Here we go,
first one applying radio technology. Okay, maybe you know what
that might be too remedial for you.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Actually, I was gonna say it probably natural.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, uh, meditation, drug use, and mental liberation.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I mean I have a history.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
There's some my maybe there's some mayahuasca there. And you
can play chess with God or something like, uh, what's this?
I could like?

Speaker 3 (02:01):
I like it like Aaron Rodgers in that case.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Which, by the way, talking about the worst person to
play chess with. Right, you sit down, God sits down,
He's like checkmate in twenty six and then just stands
up and you can't question him.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Right, And I'm like, but I'm playing what i' I
haven't even moved yet?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, well look who are you? Who are you? Sitner?
What do you do it? Let's see here? All right,
Well hold on, you don't have to go to all
of these. Let me look at some of the other
breakout sessions here. Okay, uh, do you like recycle, renew,
reuse in your own life? Right? Keep costs down?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
This kind not I believe recycling as a hoax.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
But okay, well but but do you uh does your
wife Your wife sews right?

Speaker 3 (02:45):
She used to? Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay, so if but if you have a piece of
clothing that you like and there's a small terror something,
you're able to repair it, right or she is? Yeah?
That is kind yes, okay, well, how about making mending
and creative reuse clothing are selves outside of capitalism?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Once again, I'm going to have to turn that one
down because I'm against commy scum so forgetting that I'm undercover.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Okay, all right, hold on, Donnie, hold on, Donnie, you'll
like this one. You're ready invisibility for cyberpunks hiding from drones,
thermal and night vision. You could literally be Schwartzenegger and Predator.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
It's just a bunch of Antifa dudes covered in mud.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yes, which is kind of how you want them, especially
the women. It's sort of like their natural habitat. Yes, yes,
So I mean, do you want to learn how to
not be murdered by the predator and get paid for
it as it would be a work event. Dude, I
think I think you need to not be so negative
on this. All right, hold on, hold on, we' getting

(03:52):
the good stuff. Uh, let's see off grid basics a
discussion of workshop for short term and medium outdoor term li.
I guess that's when you're running from the cops into
the woods. Look, I can do this. Do you think
you could survive in the woods by three? You in
there for a week. They would like to teach you
how donnie? Um? All right, Oh here's a good one.

(04:16):
This goes along with your long standing preference for am
I being detained?

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Remember remember, remember remember how you like that. It's it's
entitled don't turn yourself in, be fugitive Repression Preparedness material
pre configuration Practices to Resist State coercion. Dude, that's that's
my being detained.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
This just sounds like a giant workshop or rally for terrorists.
They should just go there and just like round them
all up.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Well, okay, all right, so that are day terrorist group right, Well,
they are designated terrorist groups. So how about how about this?
How about we get to the fun stuff, right cause
you know, if you're even if you're a terrorist and
you're out terrorizing with terror all day, eh, that's fine,
but you know, you got to have a little downtime.
So let's get over the fitness site. Here's one called

(05:09):
running hitting the bricks, so they teach you how to run.
I mean, yeah, it could be for law enforce, but
it also just could be for you know, health. So
there's that. Oh how about this? What is the what
is the big news? When we talked to raced agic
here over the last couple of weeks, what's been the
big weather stories?

Speaker 3 (05:29):
The hurricane stuff? All right, two hurricanes bouncing back and forth.
What is the kobayashi maru or whatever it's called?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, here we go
Hurricane responsive transsexuals. How to share far and wide safely
after a disaster.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
How much would this workshop cost?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Is we'll get to We're going to get to that, okay.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Because I mean they're so against capitalism, so are they
teaching you for free or is there.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well hold on charge that I'm sorry I have not
so you don't want to go the hurricane responsive transaction?

Speaker 3 (06:01):
So this is this is a pretty big flyer is
like a scroll.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's two pages. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, front
and back man. All right, so you don't like that one, fine, whatever,
how about oh, protesting excessively? It's a wheelchair mobility that's
probably not for you. They're gonna have one one time
pad practice session, so I guess read that is like,

(06:28):
you know, like you're seeing an MMA fighter spar where
the guy's got the pads on his hands, so they're
gonna practice once and consider themselves fighters. I guess, Oh dude,
here we go. This is it. This is why you
go to the thing right here? Are you ready? Safety?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Do you are?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
You? Do you like safety? I do? Okay, all right,
here we go safety planning for orgies because you know,
who hasn't lost a close friend or family member to
an unsafe orgy. So these guys are gonna show you
how to do it safely. But I guess that would
also require you probably to go to an antifa orgy.

(07:10):
So there's that. And then there's an auto repair thing.
I'm not making any of these up, by the way,
I'm gonna retweet. I will retweet these so you can
go look at them yourself. Then there's a quick auto repair,
So there's that and building abortion care networks. Well, see
that's a that's gonulna be a package deal, because if

(07:32):
you go to the orgy, then you're gonna need the
other thing, right, that's I guess that's probably why they're
right next to each other on this on this flyer here,
what is that? Building abortion care networks and a reproductive anatomy? Wait?
Do they not know how babies get made? I don't
feel it's probably responsible to have yourself an orgy if

(07:53):
you don't know how the babies happen. Uh, let's see here.
I don't see a cost of associated with this. I
also don't see like a host hotel or anything. And
you gotta like, you gotta send it to like this
proton mail to even get details as to where it's
happening in Philly. So there's that as well. All right, Well,

(08:16):
I don't know if the Donnie Brasco looks probably gonna work.
We're gonna have to probably dye your hair and get
you a hoodie. And because you know how Antifa, you
just know when you see Antifa, even though they're not
a thing yet, for whatever reason, you just look and go, oh,
that's Antifa. So yeah, I'll talk to management see if
we can, and you know, the management will love a

(08:38):
thing they don't have to pay for, so that'll be amazing.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Is the date? When is the date for these workshops?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's Friday? This Friday. Yeah, I'll cover third through the fifth.
What are you doing? You're not doing anything?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
My mother in law comes in on Friday.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Dude, then you want to go to this What are
you talking about? Love my mother in law, she's great,
I know, but you gotta you got to play into
the thing. Well that's why. Don't you want to protect
your mother in law by learning about definitely not how
to run from police. Wouldn't that be useful?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
My mother in law is like the biggest like maga
woman on the planet, so I think she was frowned
upon that.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
No, but you're undercover to root out and take pictures
and stuff. You're Andy know or whatever? Dude speaking Andy? No,
that's where I saw this. Let me uh all right,
I just reposted the flyers. You can all go check
that out.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
And it's in Philly too, and Mark's having a baby shower.
Her coworkers are thrown out on Saturday. I think you're
a baby shower.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
We just had a baby shower on Friday at the station.
You get how many baby showers could does do you get?

Speaker 3 (09:51):
I think, well, she had this one playing for months
and then the coworkers here at the station were like,
we're gonna thirty one. We're like, okay, Yeah, it's fantastic.
It's great.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Ross now owns a stroller that's more than my first car.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, you were like, why is it a four hundred
dollars stroller? It comes with the bear mase cannon.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I had no idea the strollers.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
You know the theme of this this segment, it's protection
of the baby with Ross.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
When I found out that the group gift was a
fourhund dollars stroller, and I'm like what because you remember
the strollers we grew up in where they could fold
like the beach jet.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah, they were made out of metal, like rusted metal.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
And then they had a little fabric that just hung
over and then you would just kind of staple the
kid in there and if and you had to be
you know how many times you'd pinch your fingers as
a little kid in those things.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, they're super expensive now. And the thing is when
you go to like Target or somewhere to check them out.
Like before you used to be able to like, you know,
to unfold them and you know, push them around the store.
Now they're all tied down, so you can't even like
test drive the thing.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's because I think scumbags would bring their kid in
and then put their kid in it and then walk out,
and oh, this is why we can't have nice things.
This is why you got to go of the ANTIFA conference, man,
so you can you can, you know, learn how to
loot properly. So yeah, I just I just touched the
ross and my four dollars get the thing. Better make

(11:15):
omelets or something.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
What?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
So what is the what is the big difference between
that other than the price? And the strollers you and
I grew up with and seemingly survived.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
But they're not made out of rusted metal. They're super light.
Even when Lincoln was was you know, a baby, Yeah,
they were very big and bulky, like to take them
out of the back like the trunk of the car
was like an ordeal. Now they're like super light. And
the thing so the the part in the stroller where
the baby sits now detaches from the stroller and that

(11:46):
is now the car seat, So then you just put
that directly into the back of the car. It's like
super light. I mean, if you ask me what's the difference,
I really can't tell you. Marky could write you, like
in a twenty page paper on the thing because she researched.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
It, like.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Carbon fiber or something.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
I'm telling you like super late. Oh pick it up
your pinky or something.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
All right, well, how are you supposed to barricade a
bear with that? That's the bear mace cannon? I no,
but the intention to finish the bear off? Do you
not know anything about murdering bears? Really? Okay, well we
might get into that later in the show. We got
some critter stuff in the stack. Anyway, So we're gonna
get Russell set up for his big conference this week,
and well we take a break. Hang on paraphrase, basically,

(12:31):
one of our listeners his wife for their last child
here five years so it's been five years ago. About
a nine dollars stroller? What what? What? What do they do?
I mean, here's the thing. If you guys want to
spend your money on that, I got no problem. I'm
just trying to fathom what a nine hundred dollars stroller.

(12:53):
Let a load of four hundred dollar stroller would do.
But you made the right choice, sir, he says. Here,
he's like, I didn't say nothing. Whatever, she's happy, okay,
all right. Again, Like the strollers that I had growing up,
and I'm sure many of you that you know the
strollers that I got pushed around in. They could fold up,

(13:14):
you could, you know, they were easy to store. They
weighed they didn't weigh that much because there was nothing
to them. It was just it's like it was essentially
the technology of any tailgate folded chair, camping chair ever,
except it had wheels and we made it. Maybe you know,
some kids might have lost some fingers, but that's why
they give you ten. You had a few, despair you

(13:37):
don't need all of them, and now we're going nine
hundred dollars and it doesn't make express. So I'm just
I have questions, that's all. But I'm glad your wife
was happy, Sir. Ross your wife's happy with that stroller.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
I'm assuming it's the one she wanted. Yeah, it's just
like we went to Target and like looked at the
thing and touched it because you can't, like I said,
push it around like God forbid, She's like, this is
the one I want, Like she did, he is the one.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's not that you're disinterested, it's just that you know,
she clearly knows more about the strollers than you. All right, so,
h yesterday was D Day as the government is now
shut down. Ross, did you guys go purging last night
after midnight? Or are you gonna probably get after that?

Speaker 3 (14:20):
I was working in the backyard of my stealth bomber
and on my uh, I was panning for gold in
case I could find it. I can't confiscate it. Yeah, no,
I'm like, I'm I'm taking this is like a music
full advantage of the situation.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, So all right, somebody's getting a hell
fire missile later, but you probably had it coming. He's
been sitting on it. So just what are you gonna do? Right?

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Just waiting? Man, like, when when can I launch this thing?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Mmmmm hm. So you know, leading up to that is
the you know, the media blitz, right, and if you're
the Democrats, generally when it comes to one of these closures,
the media will go ahead and give you the heavy lift.
It's why, you know, most of the time when they
you know, they they're able to frame it as the

(15:05):
Republicans fallow. This one's a little tougher because, like, it's
pretty simple, pretty simple, what's going on here. But Hakeem
Jeffries arguably fumbled the ball a bit because half the
time he was doing interviews or press conferences yesterday, where
he should have been making his case read that is lying,

(15:26):
he chose instead to whine and complain because Trump released
I can't believe I'm saying these words together, the president
of the the President of the United States released a
video of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer having a little presser.

(15:50):
But Schumer is saying a bunch of stuff he's not
saying clearly it's Ai and Hakim is wearing a comically
oversized sombrero, and he spent half the time complaining about that. Look, guys,
there's no way to sugarcoat it.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Nobody likes Democrats anymore.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
We have no voters left, all of them music trans bult,
not even black people want to vote for us anymore.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Even Latinos hate us.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
So we need new voters.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
And if we give all these illegal as he spent,
he spent so Jeff like Trump trolled Jeffries into using
half of his media time yesterday and his press conference
to whining about this again the fut I don't get
into the four D chest stuff. I don't even know

(16:42):
if he thought it would have that impact, but holy crap,
did it. Here's Jeffries responding to it.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
And mister president, the next time you have something to
say about me, oh here woo.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Woo, don't right or els did you edit in those woos?
Because those are just so dumb. There's no way you
didn't editor.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
No, I did not, because you know, you know, you
know what.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I believe you, because if not, you to put a
Rick Flair wound. Right, Okay, I'm sorry for accusing you, buddy. Anyway,
here we go, all right, tough guy. Go ahead, mister president.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
The next time you have something to say about me,
don't cop out.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
I can't. I kind of pause. That's so staged. That's
so staged. Right before they started it, he told he
told all the rest of his all right, I'm gonna
tell I'm gonna tell him. I'm gonna tell him. They like,
oh yeah, and so they're gonna sit around like it's
just I just hated so much.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
A racist.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
AI video. Is it way? Hold on, rosted? Is it fake?
Is it fake?

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Listen? He's clearly wearing a sombrero in the in the
video here still frame my whole thing. That is clearly
Chuck Schumer king Jane Jeffries, and he's wearing a giant
sombrero and he is a fake mustag. I talked about
really nice mustache. If like, for anyone you have facial hair.
I have facial hair. It's not everyone can grow facial hair.

(18:12):
You know, people are really concerned about AI. And you know,
my mother is seventy six living up in New York,
and you know she's she told me yesterday, you know,
she said, I clearly saw Hakeem Jeffries crring a sombrero
with a mustache, and she liked the new look. She
thought it was, you.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Know, and and do you know what state Hakeem Jeffries represented.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
That would be New York, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
And if he's your mom, would be a constituent of Swords.
And don't they like diversity?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
I mean, look, you've seen it. He's clearly wearing a sombrero,
which is why I labeled that audio cut Hakeem Jeffries
and real sombrero.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well that's just that's the second cut, right.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
And then there's Hakeem Jeffries in real sombrero too, because
he's clearly wearing a sombrero.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
And the reason that you had to do two of
them him is because after Hakeem Jeffries sombrero enthusiast, uh
spent his day and mustache enthusiast, he's a mustachioed sombrero enthusiast.
We don't get to use a mustachiod very much on
this show, but today's the day. So anyway, the sombrero

(19:20):
mustachioed enthusiast, I think I got that backwards. Hakeem Jeffries
complained about it so much that Trump the Trump people
just put another one out.

Speaker 6 (19:30):
It's a disgusting video and we're going to continue to
make clear bigotry will get you.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Nowhere now to protect the man.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
Started as an unprecedented Republican assault.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
And it's just it's so funny and stupid because Jeff
they're like, oh, it's race, he's not hispanic.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Now no, if you want to see it, I retweeted
both the first one and the second one that Trump
put out on on the account the show counted Casey
on the radio and X Now. In the second one,
he's talking and suddenly, you know, for Trumps pop up
playing the mariachi music and the sombrero drops down on
Hakeem Jeffrey's head. Yeah, but it's Trump playing the music
in the background.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Did you see the Do you see the other meat
they put out? I retweeted it last night. It's you
know that meme where it's the soldier dropping the grenade
down the stairwell. You'll know that, you know if you
see it? All right, hold on sens to us.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, yah, yeah, I saw it earlier.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes, oh you did, okay, And except it's it's the
soldier in this case is Trump's head on it, and
he's dropping a sombrero on Kim Jeffrey's head, and it
is it immature, It's one thousand percent immature, But you
know what, it's still more productive and constructive than half
the stuff the Democrats do. But it also, like you know,

(20:51):
because at least it's not dangerous, do you know what
I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, But as funny and as comical as the visual
is with the music with him ranting, it really just
it that's the point. It proves the point, right. His
point is the reason they're making the meme is people
are having a difficult you know, their health insurance is expensive,
hospital stays are expensive. And this guy right to break
the government shutdown, wants to give illegals free healthcare. And

(21:14):
it's insane, so it deserves to be mocked.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, it's it's all you can't That's what I'm saying.
It's it's not dangerous. The money so they can mutilate
children is dangerous. Sapping resources you can pay for people
literally snuck into the country. That's dangerous making a I
if I put a meme together and it's Ross wearing
a fez cap like you know, those old Egyptian caps

(21:39):
like in uh, the Last Crusade, right, the guys on
the boats, the Brotherhood or whatever, there's nothing dangerous about that.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
And you know, listen, we're dealing I bet you look
good in a right yes I will. But you know
we're dealing with a lot of copays and hospital stuff
and now and now there's like an issue with you know,
United My not be going with wake Man anymore. They're
like they're under contract negotiations or something, and we we're
gonna have the baby in November, uh at wake Mad's
And now we're wondering is that gonna happen. So this

(22:10):
is stuff that people are really dealing with, and it's
very frustrating that, Hey, you have somebody who intentionally broke
the law, and now you're gonna give them free healthcare.
How about no, how about now we put a sombrero
on your head, played the mariachi mus It's gonna make
fun of you because it's.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
A disgusting video.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
We're going to continue to make this bigotry will get
you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
People, and and and and again and and he sacrificed
half of his media veils yesterday to complain about this,
which is I mean, I don't get it. It's so
stuck in his craw or strategically, they thought complaining about

(22:56):
it was somehow a win for them, and it is
for the for the for the fifteen people that still
vote for you, that are you know, Rosie O'Donnell trying
to convince her therapists to be more crazy. They already
hate Trump. They don't, they don't, they don't need this,
but Freda Ronald, it's another racist thing. You're right, Ross,
people aren't thinking of that. They're like, that's hilarious. Anyway,

(23:18):
back to this thing that sucks for me right now,
but I really wish it didn't suck or you know
that I have to deal with. Oh it was, Oh
it was. It was brilliant to watch. But now the
government's shut down and you can go you can do
purge stuff. I think, I think Ross, there's probably nobody

(23:41):
at the mints right so we can just go in
and steal the money. So we like, if you want
to do a heist, dow's the time. Unfortunately, if your
Antifa looks like the federal officers that they scrambled there
to do something about you, they're deemed essentials, so they're
not going anywhere. But you know, world's your oyster. And

(24:02):
we'll get into more of that. Also, yesterday the big
the big meetup, military meetup, and that's got the TDS
sufferers and it izzy as well. We'll we'll talk about
that and the apparently we'll talk about the N words.
Not that's not my choosing. I'll explain if you have

(24:23):
no idea what that is, hang on, it's coming up
on the CaCO Day radio programs back they want a
little time to get a little polling. Although I said
the polling I saw, take it for what it's worth yesterday,
if you were a Republican or independent, it's to the
point it's like single digits. Think that the Republicans have
anything to do with it. That meaning within the ninetieth

(24:45):
percent island for Republicans, they it's the Democrats fault for independence.
It's like the seventy fifth percent, you know, seventy five
percent sates Democrats, And among Democrats polled half roughly half
of those who responded either way because it's like forty
four to forty five to nine or to eleven or whatever,

(25:07):
eleven or undecided, So half of your own base things
that's your fault. You're shutting it down. So what that
would tell me in in normal land is it would
be really quick or it probably shouldn't happened. But the
fact that they let it happen, I don't. You're not
dealing with a lot of deep thought there. So I

(25:27):
don't know how to answer your question, sir, because I
don't no idea what the hell is up with them?
It doesn't make any sense, and as Ross pointed out,
it really doesn't make any sense when you get into,
you know, some of the reasoning there, and what's her bucket?

(25:48):
Oh geez, why did her name just escape me? Who's
the idiot Congress from cow Maxine Waters. Yeah, it's gonna
say the gasoline lady Maxine Waters yesterday was out. It
was not even a conference question. It was it was
one of those questions that you asked where you want
your friend to be able to explain themselves. So the
reporters like, is it true that you guys are shutting

(26:11):
things down for this Republican as the Republicans claim to
provide health care to migrants or undocumented travelers or whatever
the PC term was, And all Maxine Waters should have said, strategically,
even though it would be a lie, would be no.
But she didn't. She said, we want everyone to have
health insurance. You can almost see the reporter wins. And

(26:35):
it's like when the view ladies asked, you know, they
would be president former vice president if she would change anything.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's just such a dumb issue for them to dig
in on, especially with the passing a few years. They've been,
you know, totally against the government shutdown. Right, they were
totally against it and now they're totally for it. And
it's on this issue, which is really stupid because if
you're on the right, you know the health insurance is broken,
but you know that it was. You know, it was
made worse after two thousand and eight and Obamacare, right, like,

(27:02):
it wasn't perfect before, but now it's awful. So that's yeah,
that's on the right. If you're on the left, you're
also dealing with the same issue and you know it's broke.
You might be in denial as to like what Obama
did to it, but you're well aware of what the
situation is. Well, no, because you flipped your blame right right,
other people right. But also you're so dug in that
some people on the left are like, hey, that Luigi

(27:23):
guy did the right thing correct, executing their healthy So
I mean, both sides are like this sucks, and you're saying, hey,
we need to fix it. And then we say, well,
why is it broken? Chuck who broke it? Chuck who
broke it? Hakeem, And then on top of that, you say, oh,
by the way, not only is it broke it, but
we want to get the illegals the illegal immigants, the
people that came here illegally and broke the law, intentionally
free healthcare, which is insane.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, it's spread so thin, you can see through it.
Let's spread it some more. And and I know it,
and I know it's a talking point because I saw
four different members of Congress say this. But but what
brad Not said yesterday is the Republican talking I'll call
it out for what it is, but it's correct, right,
And it is that that you have those in a

(28:07):
leadership position who are looking, who have realized that if
they don't respond to the most insane amongst them. I
don't know if it's as much primary challenges with the
Schumer Jefferys thing, but they're like, they're leaning into the
people who still support them because they hemorrhage. They hemorrhage
those men. And so now you've got to lead into

(28:28):
not necessarily the comedies, but also the what's the trial
love this term, the suicidal empathy crowd. They're leaning into it.
This is what they want, and so it never gives
you a chance to try to rebuild around the edges.
It's it's absolute political suicide, and I'm.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Here for it. Well, and let's be honest, maxing Water
said the quiet part outloud, right. Their whole point from
the beginning was they wanted it to collapse so we
could have single payer. Yeah, that's what they want. They're
getting what they want. They wanted to collapse it.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yep, more control, baby, do you think how many of them?
Do you think? We're sitting around what's going watching what's
going on in the UK licking their chops right now? Yep. Oh, oh,
a digital id where we get to control everything and
eventually start adding other little things into the mix, allow
you to either do or not do things.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's the exact same thing but a different issue. But
it's the same playbook. Where they make a problem, right,
they create a problem, then they create the solution, but
the solution gets them to where they wanted to go originally.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Correct. Yeah, And the big, the big addition is climate change.
That's you know, that was Limba's That was Limbaugh's big
hill man. I remember him harping about that. Probably more
than anything. The entirety of everything having to do with
client climate change is how it allows you to seize
control of things and and and you see it everywhere.

(29:54):
Oh you can't you know your countries where you can't
you can only fly a certain amount of times of
the year.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Oh yeah, sorry, you can't have that in your house.
Oh we got we have to.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Get rid of all of the old vehicles. We did
it here cash for clunkers. That was a climate change boondoggle.
We got to get rid of all the vehicles, the
starter vehicles, the vehicles that get parted out to keep
repairing and people running them because they wanted to push
people to mass transit. Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven fours. We get things rolling this morning.

(30:24):
So it happened, even though over the weekend NBC News
had this article top Generals and admirals are scrambling to
find aircraft to make other last minute plans to attend
Defense Secretary Pete hegsas unusual meeting. Rosz, Dude, did you
remember seeing all the stuff going in the weekend or

(30:45):
the like the the commenters and the pundits on the
left were like, we're going to war.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
I said, like over in Venezuela, we're going to Russia.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, every right, yeah, no, they just they just had
a ra ra ra ra and we'll play adio. But
NBC News is like, oh, yeah, the generals and the
admirals can't figure out how to get from where they
are to the thing. And I'm like, do they not
have Kayak? I mean, what are you talking about? As
just to prove my point, when I saw that article,

(31:16):
I went on Kayak, which if I guess, if you
don't know what, Kayak is just one of the travel
booking sites, but it tends to in my opinion, it
tends to have the largest swaths. You could use Google
air Stuff, whatever you want. The point is I I
punched in a ticket from Bora Bora. I tried to
think of the most crazy hard to get to place

(31:37):
I could think of from Bora Bora and I needed
a flight leaving within twelve hours to DC and I
was able to get one for like two grand. My
point is, nobody's scrambling to get there. Okay, there's air
there's air few just because you're a general, does I'm sorry,
maybe there's some in the military. Do are generals required

(31:57):
to only travel on millilitary aircraft? Or can they travel commercial?
And before you say they can only travel on that,
I literally was at an event with a general, a
two star Air Force general who had arrived at the
thing commercial so save it. But so you had all

(32:22):
these weird like, oh, we're going to war, nobody can
get there. It's an inconvenience. When the general leaves, they're
going to attack the ship. I saw somebody pointing out,
you know, because if there's all the generals are hanging
out on the ships, I guess weird. But no, the
whole all of it was so dumb for what we got.

(32:44):
What we got was the Warrior Ethos conference. I'll go
ahead and call it that. You had a very clear
and concise to the extent that it can be, because
Trump was kind of doing a little bit of a
comedy routine too, But I think Hagsath was much more
clear and incise. This is what we're doing, this is
what we're not doing. And it wasn't a secret meeting too.

(33:08):
That was the other thing. They posted frigging clips and
they streamed most of it. You could, you could, you could.
I spent my day watching clips after the show yesterday
as they started to emerge, and even kind of dipped
in when hag Seth was speaking and watched it live.
So like all the pundits were wrong, So what was

(33:31):
heg Seth saying nothing out of left field, but you
were clearly drive in the point home. Honestly, Ross, I
have a theory that one of the things they were
doing is they had spotters watching as heg Seth was
speaking the faces of the various generals, just to see, like,

(33:51):
you know, get get get a vibe. Because if there
is one thing that is accurate that people are talking about,
it is that Trump is on a mission to purge
woke from the military. It's literally why he said he
wanted to put hag Seth in there, and they have
clearly made strides doing it, to the point where John

(34:15):
Harwood yesterday his big takeaway from this hag Seth audio
I'm gonna play for you is that Donald Trump wants
and Heggs or heg Seth openly announced that he doesn't
want people of color or women being in charge of
anything in the military. John Harwood, the former what was
he ABC or whatever that dude is he is, he

(34:37):
might be more TDS the Rosie O'donnald. It's really interesting
to watch. If you don't follow that guy, I mean
don't follow him, but you know, peek in on him
from time to time. He's absolutely looney tunes. All right,
So here's the hate speech as it was described. Let's go,
mister Defense Secretary Pete hag Seth, what do you got
to remove the social justice, politically correct and talks.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
It's an ideological garbage that had infected our department. To
rip out the politics. No more identity months, dei offices,
dudes in dresses, no more climate change worship, no more
division distraction or gender delusions, no more debris.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
As I've said before.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
And we'll say again, we are done with that.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
All right. And while some of this is for you
and me, I would argue that most of this is
for people who are in the military, right and in fact,
let me open, let me do this, let's let me
go eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
I want to hear from people who are in the military.

(35:49):
I know you're listening. You're off to do whatever you
know you're off to do, and maybe prevent the purge
that I'm promoting. Whatever, How did this play with you?
How does this sound to you? To Haig says talking
about does that sound like something that makes you a
little prouder to serve? Or is it make you more embarrassed,
make you less likely to feel pride in what you're

(36:10):
doing or more likely? Do you feel that it is
a step in the right direction, do you feel that
things had tipped too far in the other direction? Or
is it just whatever? Nothing will change. I'm very curious.
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

(36:30):
Let's continue with physical fitness and appearance.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
If the Secretary of War can do regular hard PT,
so can every member of our Joint Force. Frankly, it's
tiring to look out at combat formations or really any
formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to
see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the
Pentagon and leading commands around the country in the world.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
It's a bad look.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
It is bad, and it's not who we are.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chairborn ranger,
a brand new private or a four star general, you
need to meet the height and weight standards and pass
the PT test.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
And as the Chairman said, yes there is no PT test.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
But today, at my direction, every member of the Joint Force,
at every rank is required to take a PT test
twice a year, as well as meet height and weight
requirements twice a year every year of service. Also today,
at my direction, every warrior across our joint force is

(37:34):
required to do PT every duty day.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Shouldn't be common SATs.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
I mean most units do that already, all right.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
And by the way, what he was referencing about the
PT test is before he spoke Dan Kin raising Kine
or whatever his nickname is, he spoke and he made
a joke that even though they're at because they're at
Base Quantico, they're at the marine base there, and there
were some pull up bars outside or whatever, and he's like,
don't worry, We're not gonna pet test you. So that's

(38:03):
what he was referencing there. But what is this all
about again? It is a stated thing that Haig says
talked about and clearly it's why Trump tapped tapped him
for this job. And that is readiness, lethality and the
warrior ethos is are the is the terminology they keep using.

(38:24):
There were no surprises yesterday, absolutely none.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
To ensure peace, we must prepare for war from this
moment forward. The only mission of the newly restored Department
of War is this war fighting, preparing for war and
preparing to win unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not

(38:49):
because we want war, No one here wants war. But
it's because we love peace. We love peace for our
fellow citizens. They deserve peace, peace, and they rightfully expect
us to deliver it. Our number one job, of course,
is to be strong so that we can prevent war

(39:10):
in the first place. The President talks about it all
the time. It's called peace through strength, And as history
teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace are
those who are willing to wage war to defend it.
That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous. It ignores

(39:31):
human nature and it ignores human history.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Either you protect your people.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
And your sovereignty, or you will be subservient to something
or someone.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
It's a truth as old as time.

Speaker 7 (39:48):
And since waging war is so costly in blood and treasure,
we owe our republic a military that will win any
war we choose.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
So again, no surprise here, especially from a philosophical standpoint, Right,
you want you want would be enemies to go. It's
just not worth it. You don't you want them to go? No,
we'd never do a pearl harbor. Look what happened to
those guys. That's that's the point. That's the point of

(40:19):
coming across as ferocious, because if you look at if
you made a list of the people that potentially we
could go to war with, they there is there's no
pacifism there. Okay, there's no they'll throw You think the
Chinese won't throw a billion of their own citizens as
essentially shields and cannon fodder to get what they want

(40:41):
if they ever got into it, of course they would.
Russia is demonstrating that they will do that. The only
benefit there is that they've basically killed a million of
their own citizens and their current thing North Korea. I mean,
that doesn't even require an explanation, venezue. I'm not impressed

(41:04):
with their special forces troops screaming like idiots, but what
do they have to lose? So you have to you
have to demonstrate that you ain't worth messing with. It's
just not worth it. Uh what it is? Hold on?
Somebody asked me what do I mean by pride? What

(41:25):
is your definition of pride? I just mean if somebody
has enlisted, do they still feel do they feel that
they made the right decision? And does this increase that
they made the right decision, right, because it's very easy
to take a job, whether it's in the military or
radio or anywhere else, and down the roads you're like,
why did I take that job? Because the culture in

(41:46):
the atmosphere around you is not what you thought it
would be, or not what it used to be, or
not what you'd hoped it be. So and I can't
gauge it. I'm not in the military. So that's why
I'm asking it eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four, especially when you hear from people that
are currently enlisted, because that's what this speech is for.

(42:09):
That's why I called it a raw ross speech. That's
what they want listening to this. All right, one more cut.

Speaker 7 (42:14):
We will not use lose war fighters because we failed
to train.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Or equip them or resource them.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
Shame on us.

Speaker 7 (42:20):
If we do train like your warriors' lives depend.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
On it, because they do. That's it. I mean, that's
what this was about. Does that mean some people are
gonna be doing some more pt Does that mean do
you remember all the woke commanders that they basically ousted
here over the last few months or the first part
of the Trump second turn.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
You remember the one that was wearing like the dog mask.
You remember that guy.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
I remember the guy with the dog mask, But I'm
talking about you remember the two women that they relieved,
he relieved of command who clearly were not within PT guidelines.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Yeah, you'd look at them and be like, how can
you be in our military?

Speaker 1 (42:58):
And and what what was interested? Is the point I
want to make. What was interesting is when I saw
people who are in the military commenting on that, that
was their biggest gripe about them, like how the hell
are they so outside of the guidelines? And I just
thought that was weird. But it's also in natural response.
If I have to do this, why shouldn't the people
that are in charge of me you have to do that.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
I think everything he's saying, I think most people see
it as common sense. Right, But when you think about
the military, that should be the one place where there's
equal standards, right, Yes, Like I thought that was the
whole point of boot camp. Every time we see you depicted,
either in a documentary or in media, like you know,
Full Metal Jacket or whatever the movie, what is the
first thing you see they get off the buses, they
shave their heads, they scream at them, and they're stripping

(43:41):
them of individuality, right, because now they're one unit. You
shouldn't have separate standards for gender, race, weight, or it
doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, one hundred pre Well now you're saying it should
be common sense to everybody, right, it should be Yeah, well,
let's see if the view counts.

Speaker 8 (44:00):
Really the fuddle by why by why he did that?
The optics were terrible, meaning all of our top military
brass are all in one place, and we spent six
million dollars to get them there. That that didn't make
a lot of sense to me. It also didn't make
a lot of sense to me that he was saying
that he was going to toughen physical standards and review
the anti hazing policy by sort of implementing a hazing policy.

(44:25):
And then also he said he was going to return
to the highest male standard for combat positions because the
troops were fat. I just I don't understand how that
was supposed to be an uplifting message for our military.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
Colonel Sanders, it was.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
It was just it was.

Speaker 8 (44:45):
Really a bizarre thing. He started talking about woke de
I policies. By the way, there are no gender quotas
in the military. By the way, he fired more than
a dozen military leaders, many of them people of color
and women. He fired the chairman of the.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Joint literally making his point that you're honing in on
the fact that they're they're I don't know, I was
bringing up the DEI stuff by the way. He fired
these people of color, So I'm gonna I'm gonna concentrate
on this point based on their racial makeup, that you're
you're proving this point that this is how your brain works,
and this is how the brain worked of the people
who got us statuff.

Speaker 8 (45:19):
Of Staff General Charles Brown Junior, who is African American.
He fired the first woman to command the Navy, Admiral
Lisa frank Ketty. I just I don't understand the sort
of hypocrisy of firing these people, having all these people
meet together, and then denigrating that did you look at it?

Speaker 2 (45:37):
They look like they look at him like it has
two heads.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Well, but no, they're not. I mean maybe one or
two is, and then they might not have a job
right now. All right, good, good, good, this is what
I want. We got it to. We have calls coming in,
so Bill hang on and then the other whoever, because
Ross hasn't screen the rest of the calls, hang on
because we're gonna I want to hear from you guys next,
and then yes, we will play the Trump portion of

(46:01):
the show because holy cow, wait till you hear this audio,
So we will. We will get into that. Just a
reminder too, coming up a little later on the show
at eighth five, because we moved a few things around
this week. Stephen Kent, who would normally be with us
on Thursday, he's got to go to Burma and liberate

(46:22):
it or something on Thursday. So we're going to talk
to him today and I will talk over and shutdown
because he lives up in the DC area, And we
got some entertainment stuff, including Trump, and I don't know
if it's just a mess with Hollywood or what. Trump
is threatening a tariff on foreign made movies to kind

(46:43):
of stick it to Hollywood. So we've got lots to
get into with him. But your calls coming up next.
Before I get into the calls here in this moment,
can I ask you a question.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Yeah, I was on the phone with a I was
screening a call with a general, But go ahead, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Do you feel that that is the best use of
company time? The thing, screening the call for the topic. Definitely, yeah, No, No,
before that. The other thing you did, I showed up
today at three thirty the load fifteen audio cuts. Yeah
you did.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
No, Yeah, that's a good use of company, Tom, I
appreciate that. Yeah, prepping and formatting twenty two stories last night. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Well, now some of them are audio clips. Let's just
let's let's be honest here. But anything else there, anything,
any other thing that you did there?

Speaker 3 (47:26):
Yeah, I recorded my endorsements this morning.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yes, well good, I'm glad you did that. That's good.
The company likes that. I'm talking about it.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
What are you talking about when I restocked the kitchen
this morning?

Speaker 1 (47:37):
No, but thank you for doing that. That's that's very
nice of you. I'm talking about the part where on
the CaCO Da Casey on the radio Twitter slash x account,
my profile picture is me in a giant sombrero with
a fake mustache. No it isn't really, and then it
says el gringo slash host Morning six to nine on

(47:57):
one of six to one WTKK ninety four.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
I haven't I haven't seen this. Oh that is you
wearing a sombrero and a mustache. There that's weird. Yeah,
we're gonna have to We're gonna have to look into
that because I'm not cur I do have a mustache.
I have a beard and mustache, but it is not
that mustache, nor do I own a giant, comically oversized sombrero. Well,

(48:26):
I mean you're always giving us knowledge and education about
you know, latinmir Central America, and you know Spanish. And
I don't know how you have this as much information
on the topic, but you seem really knowledgeable of it.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Do you think it's because I'm a sombre enthusiast. I
don't know a mustachioed sombrero enthusiasts.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Anyway, I'll fix that after I get oh the general
hung up? Okay, See, say you take me away from
my duties and this is what happens. See how long
did that take to do?

Speaker 1 (48:51):
What? Is there like a is there like a generator
for thathto? Hypothetically? How long do you think.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Time in here to google a photo of you and
put it through grock, to put a sombrero and a
mustache on you to make a game. Jeffries, I don't
have time for that, man. I'm busy.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
I know, I'm a busy Mary away from your very
important work. There. I mean, I look good in that sombrero.
That must have.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
That's so I thought it was real when you pointed it.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Out, and whatever. All right, let's go to the phones. Bill,
you're up first, Go right ahead, Hello Bill? All right,
put Bill on hold. I don't know Bill's still there
if he just because he was on the whole a
little while. Let me try this. Let's go to Major Jen.

(49:35):
That's I'm assuming your name is Jen, but Ross wrote
Major Jen. How are you doing this morning?

Speaker 9 (49:40):
Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 10 (49:41):
I am fantastic, are you now?

Speaker 1 (49:44):
I was led to believe that, if you are, in
fact a woman in the military, that yesterday's thing was
a personal attack on you.

Speaker 9 (49:52):
I've been playing army game since nineteen ninety eight. Okay, wonderful,
this is wonderful.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
What what would you say you have seen in just the
you know this this term from Trump because he's done
a lot of things. Obviously, there's people who are not
in command who are in command in certain instances under
Hagseet have you seen changed thus far? And if so,
what has it been.

Speaker 9 (50:20):
The changes that I've seen thus far is morale? We
have purpose? We have, we have duty which is now defined,
and personally, I am very very happy and grateful that
I don't have to worry about a man in my bathroom.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Yeah yeah, I've heard that sentiment from several women. Now,
did you consider under the previous administration, when they really
were leaning into all that DEI stuff, did it ever
cross your mind not to continue your your service?

Speaker 9 (51:02):
It's a lot, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
It.

Speaker 10 (51:11):
Almost, I almost, But I have a personally, I have
a personal testament, so I know that I can grit.

Speaker 9 (51:21):
Through a whole lot.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
That's good. That probably. I mean, if we're talking about qualifications,
here's the here's the main thing. You've never gotten. The
vibe that Trump or hag Seth don't want you there
is what I'm asking.

Speaker 9 (51:40):
Trump wants to qualified people, and he doesn't give a
rat's rear end what that person looks like. Do your job,
do your job well, and be where you're supposed to be,
the uniform you're supposed to be in, and do your job.
That's all we care about. I don't care what you
look clike two.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Almost things that you can't change.

Speaker 9 (52:04):
For things you can't change.

Speaker 5 (52:05):
I don't. I don't.

Speaker 9 (52:07):
I don't care if you have an immutable identity. You
can't change it. It doesn't matter. I see green, that's
all I see. Okay, well, army, and I see you
as a soldier period.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Well I'm I'm glad to hear it. I'm super happy
that that we got to talk to a woman who
is enlisted too, because they're going to paint this as
another war on women thing talking about the peak. Yeah yeah, well, Jenn,
thank you for to call this morning. I really appreciate it. Okay,
have a good one. All right, there you go. All right,

(52:44):
let me grab ed here and what's up? Hold on,
I'm hearing the ray stagic there for moments. Let me
let me go ed Ed, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (52:56):
I think it was right on. I think the I've
been when I was in the military. I used to
see sergeant majors and colonels and first sergeants to shadow
their rear end. Weigh thirty five pounds, but yet they
jump all over some soldiers for being a little bit
overweight and they needed it out.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
And this ttree, I bet you guys judge a little more.
It says here you were you were a ranger when
you were enlisted.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
I was a arranger and I was in Special Forces,
and yeah, I used to see it all the time.
I was like, and I'll tell you something else. The
army's crazy about. They will give a person that does
their job more hell for being overweight than he will
personally won't do their job and his thin. And I

(53:48):
have seen them put people at desk twelve fourteen hours
a day try and get paper and then turn around
and jump on about their weight. I've seen that happen a.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Bunch too, imagine. So, so you you like what you heard, Yeah,
that's that's weird because I saw a lot of people
common thanks for the call. They're ed, both current and
former members of the military, and I didn't see a
lot of negativity, with the exception of a few kind
of like, uh, you know, people who had political interest

(54:17):
in it, like a couple of Democrat members of Congress
who also served in the military. So, and that's why
I'm asking people in the military. I'm not in the military.
I don't know, and I know how it makes me
feel because I want to have confidence in in my
country's military. But I'm not. I'm not in the weeds man,
but I but I can relate in the sense that
we've we've all been places where we're we're excited about

(54:40):
the direction of leadership, you know, in the the you know,
for whatever company you work for, and other times where
you're like, what, who the what it is just monkeys
throwing darts at the at the at the in the
boss's office. What are we doing here? You know, that
doesn't change. So, you know, that's the relatable part. But
when it gets down to it, that's why I to
talk to people in the military about it. All right,

(55:04):
Uh yes, mister stagic, we could hear you moving.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Around little thanks.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
Yeah, be careful. That's what that's what we want. That's
what we want. That's not what I wants. War. Are
you ready to go?

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Yeah? Give him a little hit, right, yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:20):
So, uh yeah, it's up.

Speaker 11 (55:22):
Well, I don't want to get onto the sports bar
real quick. But I figured since my other teams are
zero for two so far this year, I said, I
don't really watch the Yankees unless they're in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
So I said, let me try this baseball thing.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
What are you doing this to poor wrong Russ? What
are you gonna do this?

Speaker 2 (55:41):
I don't know, like, let me maybe my Yankees will.

Speaker 11 (55:46):
Gosh, why do you have to pull your starter at
their one hundred because somebody tells yourself what.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
I have not paid attentions and for about two years,
which has been a big deal for me because I
was like, you know, it used to be like really
serious baseball nothing because nothing is going to change until
Aaron Boone is launched into the sun.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Right.

Speaker 11 (56:06):
Well, same thing. It's like all my teams now, it's
like Jerry Jones has got to go. I don't think
Dabble's got to go. I'm like, and so then, so
now I'm over three, So I'm just giving up the
sports ball all together. Load the bases in the ninth
with no outs and you can't get a hit.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Yeah, that would be helpful to get a hit in
that scenario.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
I mean nothing, and I got you.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
You guys only lost by two.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
So I just I can't anymore. Just can't. I'm gonna
concentrate on whether me.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Ask you, let me ask you the pertinent question. Okay,
is Clemson gonna cover thirteen and a half or not? No,
so I should take you and see you and getting
the points.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
I don't like this at all. I don't think I don't.
I don't think I'm gonna mess with this game.

Speaker 11 (56:49):
Well it's it's one of those. If it's if it's
in Clemson, I feel better about it. But there's also
a chance that it could be a Nope, you're not
drawing me in. I'm not saying no, don't.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
You're the expert, man, tell me how money, tell me
how to Honestly.

Speaker 11 (57:06):
I think I think the offense is ready to just
unleash on. Somebody in North Carolina might be it. Well, okay,
and if not, Kate should be benched. You should get
my gumba in there.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
I see, I see, Okay, Okay.

Speaker 11 (57:21):
So by halftime, if they're not winning by at least
a touchdown or two, get them out.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
I mean, I think maybe what I gotta do is,
I think I'll take Clemson and the over because the
only way Clemson covers is if they hit the over.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
What's the over and a half? Yeah, I like that
better than the points.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Then I don't have to risk as much. You can
win a little more. Yeah. Man, I'm gonna talk myself
into a bad decision, all right, you are, you are?

Speaker 11 (57:51):
But then we could have fun with it on Monday,
So okay, yeah, let's have fun exactly good time, exactly. Well,
not all of us got our name on USh. So
it's you know, and I know.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
The listeners like, why aren't you know the weather? Because
the government shut down, they turned on the dopplers.

Speaker 11 (58:06):
Yeah, they turned it and there's there's nothing going on.
I mean, I don't even need the doppler. If there's
a sprinkle of rain, you'll be lucky. A little breezy. Still,
the seventies today, going on a great run, little mid
seventies for Thursday, Friday, back into the mid and upper seventies,
maybe eighty by Saturday and Sunday. A little more cloud
around by the end of the weekend, and then it's
unseasonably mild next week. The six to ten day outlook

(58:28):
is out for next weekend. It's it's going back above
average tropics Melda heading into Bermuda, there's a tropical store
or there's a hurricane warning for them. But uh, the
impacts along the coast, I guess four houses went into
the water off for the outer banks, you know, from
beach erosion obviously from the Atlantic, but uh.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (58:49):
I guess that's major impacts if the house goes into
the water. But I think overall, but.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
You know, you know that, you know the collection of
can't fix right houses have? Do you know about those? Yes,
they sit on the beach side of twelve and they've
just been around so long. Your grandfather did. But you
can't do anything those houses, right, getn't chewed up? Man?

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Right? Those are the ones.

Speaker 5 (59:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
By the way, the game is, I just want to
correct you. The game is actually in Chapel Hill, it's
not in Clemson.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
So right, that's what I said. I said, if it
were okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Yeah, I was screaming at me.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
I don't think he said that, but I will be sure.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
To reiterate if I did, I was wrong.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
So I don't think you did either. But you know,
when the listeners don't know what's going on in our.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Heads, the listeners always right, though, listeners are always right.
But thank you know it's it.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
We're going on a run. We're going on a run, baby, Okay,
all right, you heard it here. I'm gonna be so
poor on Monday. All right, Well, anyway, we'll talk in
an hour.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
I'm gonna take that with you.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Then, all right, let's do this thing, be poor together,
cover all right? All right, there you go seven forty
eight back in just a few Trump himself rolled out,
and uh, it got interesting. Let me start with let's
start with the Obama line. It was it felt like
a comedy routine and kind of an edgy one. Not

(01:00:08):
as much for this, but I just thought this was funny.
This is Trump talking about Obama.

Speaker 12 (01:00:13):
Look nice and easy, and you don't have to set
any record. Be cool, be cool when you walk down,
but don't don't bop down the stairs.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
So one thing with Obama.

Speaker 12 (01:00:23):
I had zero respect for him as a president, but
he would bomp down those stairs. I'd never say, Papa,
you'd go down the stairs.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Wouldn't hold on.

Speaker 12 (01:00:32):
I said, it's great, I don't want to do it.
I guess I could do it, but eventually.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Bad things are gonna happen.

Speaker 12 (01:00:39):
And it only text was but he did allows EJ
have as president.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
And clearly he was riffing off by it and couldn't
walk down the stairs. And then to Obama and all that.
But that's not the one that got people. No, it's
when he started talking about Russia and specifically the repositioning
of two of our nuclear subs, which maybe you saw
the story here has of late that he decided to

(01:01:05):
dance around the edges, so to speak. Here he is,
see if you can pick up on his means, and.

Speaker 12 (01:01:11):
It was really a stupid person that works for I
mentioned the word nuclear, I moved a submarine or two.
I won't say about the two.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
He's referencing Lavrov or whatever the Russian guy is who
used that term, and how you shouldn't use that term.

Speaker 12 (01:01:27):
Over to the coast of Russia, just to be careful,
because we can't let people throw around that word.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
I call it the N word.

Speaker 12 (01:01:41):
There are two ND words, and you can't use either
of them, can use either of them. And frankly, if
it does get to use, we have more than anybody else.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
We have better, we have newer. My favorite, My favorite, though,
is somebody took the middle part of that and then
they interspliced it with that scene from South Park where
Randy's on Wheel of Fortune and it's got all the
letters except the second one, which is a vowel, and
it's supposed to be it's people who annoy you and

(01:02:18):
the answer is naggers, but Randy picks the other one.
And there's that scene where they keep cutting like the
black cameraman and the and the crowd or his family
is in the bar where they're watching.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
Like the crowd yesterday. Like just when you sent me
the video, I felt like the crowd in the video
in South Park. I'm sitting like please please, no, please, God?
Right yes, because this is this is how they cut
it down.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
That word I call it the N word.

Speaker 12 (01:02:49):
There are two N words, and you can't use either
of them.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Ready to see the crowd there staring at.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Him is eight oh six and every thing's over. Nothing's
happening today. You're probably not even up listening to the radio.
The government is shut down, the purge is on. And
if you think the purge is crazy around here, I'm
sure up in DC it's absolutely backcrap crazy. To help
us talk about it is our NERD correspondent who resides

(01:03:16):
in the DC area, Mister Steven Kent. How you doing today, sir?

Speaker 5 (01:03:21):
Talking to you on a Wednesday? What must be going
on in the world? A government shut down or something?

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Rossed? You're invading Burma tomorrow, So I don't know. Nobody
tells me nothing. All right, So what are you looting?

Speaker 5 (01:03:34):
Doing some important work?

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
That's good, yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's it's a ropodope
because they brought all the generals here, so nobody thinks
anything's going on, so they won't suspect you.

Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
We're restoring the warrior ethos.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Yeah, man, did you how much of that did you watch?

Speaker 5 (01:03:50):
I watched the whole thing. It was a good a
good way to rally in the morning with my coffee.
It just kind of got the blood flowing and fist
pumping was fun.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Would would would you about Trump's little comedy routine about
the N words?

Speaker 7 (01:04:04):
Boy?

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
What what to say? I think my favorite thing of
Trump's remarks were criticizing stealth bombers because they don't look good.
And if it doesn't look good, it can't be stealthy.
He says. I'm an aesthetics guy, but you know these planes,
you call them stealth, but they're so ugly.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
He's, uh, do He's talking about Obama zip downstairs too.
You never know what?

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
You can't believe it. I can't believe they did this.
I mean, this is this is masterclass Trump administration trolling
on the level of the animated video of hackem sufferers
in the sombrero.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
So did you see what you see? What freakin' Ross
did this morning. He claims he didn't do it. So
I'm just doing the show and all of a sudden,
I start seeing these weird comments on our Twitter account.
Go to the show Twitter account, Go look at my
profile picture. This is what? This is this this man
spent company cow Well he may grock down now, but.

Speaker 5 (01:04:57):
Yeah, this is the It's just so offensive and shameful.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Those things.

Speaker 5 (01:05:07):
What have you done?

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
So? So, anyway, government shutdown, I was hearkening back to
one of the previous ones. And I'm sure you remember
this under the Obama administration when UH as part of
the government shut down, they erected barricades around inanimate objects
in the middle of parks that thus dubbed the barricades,

(01:05:30):
And you had the shut down parts of the Blue
Ridge Parkway, which is a road, so it's like and
it was meant to inflict pain clearly in that In
that case, if you looked at the polling, they the
Republicans came out kind of the losers on that one,
even though the stuff that Obama was doing was ridiculous.
On this one. Jeffrey spent half of his media veils yesterday.

(01:05:55):
I swear he must have been on five different interview
shows and a press conference, and he spent half the
time about the sombrero, Like, yeah, got played.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Man, they took the bait.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
They just can't help themselves. And in terms of, you know,
kind of the political breakdown of government shutdowns, it's it's
kind of like with like gun control, Like every American
voters know that Republicans are not the party of gun control,
but somehow they still you know, managed to poll a
little bit better these days. But the government shut down,

(01:06:26):
it's always been Democrats' position that government shutdowns are bad.
Voters by and large, according to a new political Political
Playbook poll, believe that the Democrats are at false to
the tune of thirty four percent, and they believe Republicans
are at false to the tune of twenty seven But
then there is a gap there where about seven percent
believe that Trump in particular is to blame. And so

(01:06:48):
this ends up being a thirty four to thirty four
split with the rest being undecided between Republicans Democrats. So
this is like a complete political wash for the left,
Like this is not a hill that they should be
dying on. The American people don't have strong feelings one
way or another about it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Well, we had a member of Congress on yesterday and
I heard others say it too, so it's clearly kind
of a talking point, and they're saying that really what's
driving this is Chuck Schumer and a Keem Jeffries are
scared of AOC and Mandami or whatever stupid name is.
But they're scared of that portion of the Democrat vote,

(01:07:27):
like they don't want to get primary. But also they're
leaning into the crazies, which is a choice.

Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
Yep. Well they have to feed them in some way.
I kind of find it galling that someone like Chuck Schumer,
who is, you know, an elder statesman and presumably at
the end of his career, that he feels afraid of
young upstarts. I don't understand why he can't do kind
of politically brave things at this point in his career.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
Yeah, it's it's like, you know, when you're a lame
duck and you can just kind of go crazy man
to the extent that.

Speaker 5 (01:07:59):
You tell everybody to behave accurate.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
All right, let me pivot to a couple of things.
Although this is the first one is is Trump related,
so he he uh mused. The other day. I don't.
I still have no idea what this would look like.
That they that he wanted to slap a one tear
off on films that are made outside of the US,
which is damn near every film nowadays of any decent

(01:08:28):
sized budget, because it's it's just so you know, you
go to Bulgaria and it's dirt cheap to film, You don't,
you don't necessarily the tax is there. It's it's why
initially they moved out of Hollywood because of that what
is it a fifty mile rule or whatever it is.
People don't probably don't realize this. If you're within a
certain like fifty mile radius of Hollywood, it's insanely expensive

(01:08:51):
to produce because of how the labor contracts work. So
that's why you saw film industries pop up in North
Carolina for a long time, and then we stopped feeding
the tax and center. So then they went to Georgia.
I think you saw that Marvel's like moving all of
their stuff out of Georgia overseas, right.

Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
Yeah, a lot of people are flocking to Hungary Orbon's, Yeah,
Victor Orbon's. Hungary is pulling in a lot of different
mainstream Hollywood productions, but they're also picking up business from
insurgent media, a lot of conservative upstart film studios, like
The Daily Wire being one example. They've been shooting a
lot of their films in Hungary just to enjoy those

(01:09:31):
low costs and actually produce films that can be competitive
in the mainstream by keeping costs down. I hate this, really,
I really hate this move by the Trump administration because
it sort of takes an issue that everybody knows is
Democrats fault and makes it a Republican problem. Nobody in
their right mind think that Republicans are the reason it's

(01:09:51):
expensive to shoot in Los Angeles. It's because of Karen
Baskavin Newsom and the unions. And then Donald Trump comes
in and basically self sat abotages himself into being the
bad guy in this situation, when what he should be
seen as is the person who is cudgeling the governor
of California into making it a place where you can
shoot an American movie again.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Well or just in America for that matter. Like I know,
it's a lot easier, like if you know the state
of Florida or Texas where you have less tax issues.
But no, you're right they're going overseas. The problem, the
bigger problem is it's one thing. It's what did you
ever see? Rob Lowe was doing a podcast here recently
and he was talking.

Speaker 5 (01:10:32):
About did yeah with Adam Scott?

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
Yeah yeah, And he was talking about this, you say,
everyone just goes over there and they were shooting. They
were shooting a show that is, you know, basically set
in America. The thing that has me thinking though, is like,
for like the Lord of I can't imagine Lord of
the Rings not being shot in New Zealand. Do you
know what I'm saying?

Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
Yeah, a foreign film, yea. If you even go back
to nineteen seventy seven, I talk a lot about Star Wars.
The bulk of a New Hope Episode four of Star
Wars is shot abroad. Only a little bit is shot
in the US and Death Valley. In terms of a
percentage of the pie, that would count as a foreign
production split between Africa and the United Kingdom. And that

(01:11:15):
was done by George Lucas because, wait for it, he
hated the way that Los Angeles was run by the
unions and he wanted to get out and make his
film cheaper to appease the studios. Because Star Wars was
a huge risk. It was a huge risk that no
studio really wanted to take, so he had to take
that production overseas.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
Yeah, and there's just so many movies like can you
imagine James Bond all being shot in America?

Speaker 5 (01:11:42):
Ridiculous? No, you want to watch Italian car chases, like
that's the entire aesthetic of a James Bond movie.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
And they're like, well, you just you there's roads like
like I grew up in near you know, there's a
very famous super curvy road that was one of the
recent ones. Either have the big car chase there. You've
seen a lot of movies, and you know, we do
have roads like that in the US. A Tensleeve canyon
near where I grew up looks well, I mean it
doesn't look like that from a topography standpoint, where the
road looks the same, and they're like, well, just cgi

(01:12:09):
around it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:11):
Yeah. And to make kind of like a meta point
on this, you know, he's framing this entire standoff as
an act of patriotism, that it's patriotic to make movies
in America. And so that leads me to wonder, what
are we to do with all the incredibly unpatriotic America,
hating films that are shot in California, such as One
Battle after Another currently in theater starring Leona and Leonardo DiCaprio,

(01:12:33):
which is really a love letter to leftist political violence
and violence against immigration agents. Like that is what that
movie is, and it's a tapestry of California. There's nothing
inherently good about shooting a movie in Kentucky, California or Georgia.
It matters what the movie is about and what it
inspires in people. And if that movie is shot in
Hungary but still basically gives us the American dream on film,

(01:12:58):
then that movie is better.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
I will say this, there's one other aspect here, and
I don't hear a lot of people bring up that
immediately occurred to me when I saw this one. He's
screwing with Hollywood. I understand that. Two, he's screwing with China.
People don't realize the amount of money and what is
There's a production company called Go Well USA, and just

(01:13:20):
look for it. It's on a ton of a ton
of movies. That's the Chinese government for all practical purposes,
And so China wanting to just in the same way
Hollywood wants to get their stuff into China. China is putting,
is splashing the market with a lot of their stuff too,
and they invest in a lot of movies. That's how
you get John Cena apologizing and Mandarin to you. Okay,

(01:13:43):
he doesn't want to lose the train there, so to
some extent I think he's doing to mess with China
as well.

Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
Yeah, there is an element of that at play here.
But again this is just Donald Trump picking I think
one too many fights, and he does pick some fights
that are worth it and really helpful for polarizing the
electorate to see where the Democrats are incredibly wrong on
the most popular issues. But this is not one of them.
This is this is vindictive and going after the people

(01:14:13):
in California who he hates, and it's not going to
work for him more Republicans. This needs to stop.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
One of the most frustrating let me pivot here, one
of the most frustrating brands video game producers in my opinion,
just because there's very few games that ever really got
into I played Theablo. Big fan of Diablo, just because
like that harkens back to like the very first game
I really got into the original back in the day,

(01:14:40):
but also I was a huge Tiger Woods golf guy,
loved loved it, which I know that's not everybody's cup
of tea, But in both instances I had problems with
the producers and EA. Man, it's just you want to
talk about just all sorts of scummy things. In my opinion,
EA has just been sold and it's going private, and

(01:15:03):
the main investor's Jared Kushner, and I guess the question
is do we think that this turns around some of
the negative opinions with EA? Is this a good thing?
And is this something else that may happen to other
video game producers that could I don't know, revitalize the industry,
which has kind of taken some gut punches here as
of late.

Speaker 5 (01:15:24):
Yeah, you know, it's it's completely unknown whether or not
this will be positive. At the end of the day.
It was taken private here for about fifty two point
five billion dollars. It's the largest buyout ever of a
buy a private equity firm of a video game company,
and this is an opportunity for EA to remake itself
and start putting out quality products. I'm not a huge gamer,

(01:15:47):
but I gain enough to know that EA is a
punchline on Reddit and on Discord. They make games that
are just absolute Dodgs disappointments, and they face criticism constantly
for ramming wokeness into their games. And so you know,
if this private equity firm and what Saudi Arabia, if
they actually are going to be focused on creating quality

(01:16:10):
products and making things that gamers want to play, then
it's an ultimate good. It doesn't matter who owns this
and where they are.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
I just wonder since it's got a you know, Trump
adjacent attached to it, you know what I'm saying, if
there's not some people who are like, oh, I gotta
do something about that. Plus, I would point out my
biggest beef with e A is they attacked my running
back with the Madden Curse one year. They put ap
Adrian Peterson at the time on the cover of it

(01:16:40):
was injured. So I got beef over that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:44):
Well, I'm waiting for I'm waiting for quality Star Wars
games as as I'm sure you can expect. You know,
EA has long had kind of exclusivity with with Star
Wars Lucasfilm for their games like Battlefront and the likes,
which are you know, a low bar for enjoying Star
Wars games. But I'll settle for a better version of Battlefront,
maybe Medal of Honor. So hopefully they get their stuff together.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
Keenan Thompson, you know him from Saturday Night Live. He
is also partners in a production company, as I'm sure
a lot of guys in Hollywood are, and he's got
a couple of interesting products I saw yesterday or projects.
I should say, I'm going to start with Macho because
I want to come back to the other one. So
he wants to do a biopic of Bacho Man Randy Savage,

(01:17:31):
and Ross says he's looking forward to it. We were
trying to figure out the Mount Rushmore of eighties wrestlers,
and I think probably Savage is on there. I didn't
realize Thompson was into it, but I guess he worked
with him when he was doing Good Burgers, so I
guess they got to know each other before he died.
So I'm here for this absolutely man.

Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
Yeah. Well, I'm an early two thousands theater and emo
kid grown up, and I got to admit that I've
never watched any wrestling, so the only thing that I
know Randy Savage and Macho Man for is being Bone
Saw in Spider Man two thousand and two, so I
think this will be cool. I guess I'm excited to
see Keenan Thompson do something besides SML. Like I've always

(01:18:14):
been a Keenan Thompson fan of someone who grew up
watching Nickelodeon when he was still doing sketch comedy there,
which led into Good Burger. But he's just been on
SNL forever. It kind of makes me wonder if he
has anything going on or like prospects. So I'm glad
to see him do these do these movies?

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
Yeah, who knows. He's wanting to redo sleep Away Camp,
and I'm a little nervous. Do you We're gonna run
out of time? Do you do you know the background
of Sleepway Camp? Why that movie was so shocking back
in the day.

Speaker 5 (01:18:43):
Yeah, I actually this, this horror movie is eluding me.
Is this like a comedy or a straight up horror film?

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
No? No, No, it's a straight up horror film they
want to remake, But it was the ending of it
was so shocking in the eighties. Unfortunate. I'm gonna have
to leave it there with you, but I'm gonna odd
for the audience. I'll explain it here in a moment.
I'll look yeah, yeah, go ahead, look up the ending
and you'll see why. Maybe I just I'm wondering what
they're gonna do with this, but we'll have to leave
it there. I really appreciate it this morning. Good luck

(01:19:09):
and Burma.

Speaker 5 (01:19:09):
Okay, thanks Casey.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
All right, he's he's a boat man, is what Ross
was telling me. So I'm sure he'll be Everything will
be fine, all right, So why sleepway camp? If you
guys don't remember, I'll explain a little bit of a
spoiler coming up. Hang on,
