Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have been absolutely not doing my job this morning.
I blame one of you, and I don't know. I mean,
is it a guy thing? Ross? Are you? Were you
aware they were demolitioning the Tropicana Casino in Vegas, like
right now or about a half hour ago. Yeah, so

(00:20):
they're doing the whole big employee. Can you imagine? Can
you imagine if you're if you're a crew and you
were like nine tenths of the way through your hest planning,
how you must feel watching that because I didn't know
what was happening. All right, you're getting ready, You got
the digging machine from the chunnel, get all your dudes.

(00:43):
You probably paid out some bribes, so you're financially invested
in well, the chunnel thing too. And and then uh no,
Ocean's eleven style thing because they just put a bunch
of dynamite.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Didn't it.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
So I guess that's where they're building the baseball field
in Vegas. I don't no, you know, you know what
I was just thinking of this? Yeah, I have actually
stayed at the Tropic Canna way back in the day,
and it wasn't nice then, so I can't even imagine

(01:17):
what it looks like inside right now. But well now
now it's not an issue. But yeah, building demolition. One
of our listeners sent it to me, Mitch, thank you, Mitch.
Like I had like an instant four year old boy reaction.
I'm like, they're gonna blow a building up. I'm gonna
go watch that. So I sat there and had to

(01:38):
listen to these idiots bloviate. And then the first time
I'm watching, I'm watching on like a Bally stream, and
then they're like two minutes in there, like you need
a Bally account to continue, and and then so I
had to go find another one. But holy hell, man,
oh like like flies to well, you know, bees to honey,

(01:58):
so to speak. So h yeah, that was that was
pretty cool And I would I would have told you
about it before I didn't know. Yeah, you tell how
many guys don't want to push the big comically sized
plunge your thing once in their life. It doesn't have

(02:19):
to be for a Vegas casino, although that's a pretty
good get. It could be I don't know, for a
New Mine. It could be your your your arch nemesis house.
I mean, but the push and the big, the big
plunger thing, bully hells, I want to do that at
least once any is anybody in demolition out there? Can

(02:41):
I come push a plunger on something. I don't know why.
I just had this urge watching that so and why
should it be billionaires in business suits at five in
the morning doing it? Well, I guess it'd be like
two thirty in the morning their time or something. Is
there on they're on West Coast. I don't know, man AnyWho.

(03:02):
That's the thing that happened. So there you are armed
with a little information to get things rolling alrighty coming
up on the show, we were floating this theory yesterday
right the burn it all down and you know, Joe
Biden's intentionally doing things to undermine Kamala or really undermine anybody.

(03:31):
And you know what, as more and more stuff comes out,
we had reports yesterday they don't like each other that
I'm not shocked about. I never got the vibe that
they were besties, even if she stood in the field
with the phone to your ear and was just so proud.
It has been contentious and now she's got to go

(03:55):
out and she, essentially I thought, had to run under
the premise that everything's sucks, which she is, which, of course,
if you're Joe Biden and you know you have a
moment to actually be cognitive about it, that's pretty damned
and Sultan. But also what he has nothing to lose

(04:16):
right there's there is nothing for him to lose. He's
not going to run for elected office anymore. They'll, like,
you know, they'll give him some honorarium stuff like that,
but nobody's hiring him. He's not going to jump into
a CEO's position at a tech company. And so what

(04:38):
does it matter? How do I know? There's apparently a
book coming out to where Joe Biden lays at the
feet of Barack Obama the current putin situation for basically
not doing anything with the annexation of Crimea. So what

(04:58):
am I supposed to think he or maybe maybe his
wife is doing. I don't know, but I am more
and more convinced of that. And meanwhile, even though she's running,
essentially everything sucks right now, I'll be here to fix it.
She still went on the View yesterday and said.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
This, would you have done something differently than President Biden? Well,
if anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden?
During the past four years?

Speaker 4 (05:34):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
But I am so confused. Wasn't that the thing that
him saying that about her was detrimental? And then she
comes out and says that, don't worry. Later she'll blame
Trump for I don't know everything, But like, how am
I supposed to read her? I mean, I understand that

(06:04):
people like this is not a smart woman, but she's smart.
She's been in politics to the you know, California politics
is its own thing, but she's she's been in politics
long enough. You don't say that unless you want to
say that, right. I am so incredibly confused. But yeah,
so she was on the view. We got a little

(06:25):
more audio from that also coming up on the show.
Let's see here more on the DeSantis thing too. She lobbed,
you know, she loved that bomb out. I tried to
call him and he didn't pick up the phone and
he wouldn't talk to me, And she got absolutely leveled
by Ron DeSantis but also Joe Biden yesterday, I did

(06:46):
it again. You can't convince me otherwise over you know
what's happening down in Florida, which of course we'll talk
about with Ray Stagic as the as the show unfold. Normally,
I don't. I don't dig into other local radio shows.

(07:06):
Everybody can just kind of go do their own thing.
I mean, sure, but it's you know, the national public radio,
or it's you know, some sort of large podcast or
rogan whatever that'll get coverage, so I don't normally lean
into it. Somebody sent me an interview yesterday of the
mayor of Chimney Rock, obviously one of the communities absolutely devastated,

(07:32):
and I I'm listening to it two different ways. I'm
listening to it. It's a host. I believe he's from Greenville,
South Carolina, right, I have to look. But he's interviewing
the mayor, and there's this weird exchange about the woman

(07:58):
apparently who died in Chimney Rock, right, because they had
one fatality, and that's what they're talking about. And I
can't tell if it's people nervously flushing out a story
or maybe the host nervously laughing. It's really weird, and
so I want to play that for you. I'm just
curious your opinion. I'm not here to I don't even

(08:20):
know if I'm mad, because I just I don't understand
the range of emotions there, and I don't under but
I also understand and I have done this but early
in my career, where when you're not cognizant of it,
the way you're reacting to something that some people are
saying is in and of itself a tacit endorsement, right,

(08:44):
And so you got to be careful. It's with the
words that you use. You know, if you say something
like that's right and it's not right, you're still kind
of signing on for it. So you know, normally you
give a hm hm hm, and you know, you move
the conversation along or whatever they're explaining. But and you
got to be very careful. You don't sign you don't
sign on for it. And one of the ways that

(09:06):
people when they're a little nervous about something that a
guest is satan and I've seen this before, they'll laugh nervously.
I don't know if that's what's going on here, but
the whole thing seems incredibly disrespectful. But again, I'll let
you be the judge. So all that and more. Oh,

(09:29):
and Trump has no filter, man gets no filter. If
you haven't heard, if you if you know, you know,
and if you don't you will know soon. But first
a break six sixteen. Hang on, I know you got
your hands full with the dude who literally came in
the day after the Afghan withdraw and was getting ready
to do in an election day attack. You guys are

(09:51):
busy with that, so let me let me clarify. But
several listeners have said, hey, buddy, I know you want
to blow something up. Let's shoot some Tannerite stuff. And
I appreciate that. Always fun, always a good time, Russ.
I think that would be fun. That'd be a fun
thing for you to do. Shoot Tanner right. I think

(10:13):
you get so much more joy if whatever you were
shooting exploded like a car bomb. On the other side,
but it's not the same detonating a giant, thousand room
casino shooting up your old washing machine two different things.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Now, do you like push the plunger down and look
at it or do you like turn away from it
and walk away in slow motion?

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Oh that's behind you?

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Like?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, right, you practice one that you watch. Yeah, and
if he doesn't immediately detonate either you push the lever
down and you're walking and you've got a distance, so
you know, you can feel the heat.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
It's the Joker walking out from the hospital in the
dark night.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Oh, it's one of the most icon There's a whole
documentary it's called walking Away. It's not like super super professional,
and it was on YouTube. It was well done. So
I'm like walking Away and it's just shows in movies
like all of the Fame. I like, that's a that's
one that's like a big iconic thing in movies. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
I love those compilation videos. Then you get into the
sunglasses too. I watched another one recently because we've gotten
really into the watching it home at night, the Mission
Impossible series. Oh, you just got into that because I
sort of missed the entire thing and I've really been
enjoying it. Yeah, okay, good, Yeah, So but I saw
one really it gets away by the way, Okay, good.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Sorry.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
I saw one though, where it was just a compilation
of Tom Cruise running in all his movies because he
does a lot of running and he has he has
like a specific form to him when he runs, like
his arms are bent in a certain way, and it's great.
It's like one movie to the next to the next
to the next, going like spanning decades.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Of just him running. I mean, you know it's funny
because you say that, and in my mind I could
immediately picture how he runs yep, just because you've seen
it so many damn times.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Man.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
All right, so, how how deep are you?

Speaker 7 (12:02):
What is there?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Seven of those? I think we finished seven and a half, right,
seven and a half?

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Right?

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Eight is coming out because the last one, I guess
was a two parter. Yeah, we just finished five I
think or was it six? Lost Track? I think it's five.
I think Fallout was next, which I believe was six.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
I got to do a good binge. You know what
I haven't done. I'll try to remember the last time
I did it a Bond binge. But then you got
to make decisions like do you just do Connery Bond?
For the older Bonds? Do you do? You do you
watch all of them? What do you think of the
Pierce Brosnan era? I mean, it's look, the dude who

(12:47):
plays Bond now, great, but Pierce Brosnan was a good
nineties Bond, right, because yeah, he was sort of like
our childhood Bond.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
It was just I don't know how to describe like
it works in the nineties, it doesn't work in the
gritty twenty twenties. Piers Prosden couldn't do it.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Plus, I mean thanks that we got Goldennight the video
game from him.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
So oh yeah, yeah, you know how many hours I
spent sitting somewhere sniping my friends. Oh I missed that game, dude.
That was the That was the original Battle Riale with
your friends games for me. Yeah, And I'm not saying,
you know one thing when you're playing a game together,
I understand that, But like just we had we had

(13:31):
one up at the cabin. We had an old system
up at the cabin, even after it was getting dated.
And you know, you're up there in wilderness, you're getting
ready to go hunt elk the next day, you're excited
and we're up till three in the morning proximity mining dudes.
It's it was a ride of passage. But no, that's
why Piers Prosdon worked then. Although what was he had

(13:53):
a movie that came out Is it November?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Man?

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I like five six years ago. I was pretty good,
a little grittier than the Bondy portrayed. But all right, now,
now I got a you know, pick some rainy weather
and give me a little bomb thing.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
I think November Man was in that genre of older
retired assassin, so.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
It to come out it was pure Taken. It was
pure Taken copy right because Taken instigated that and we
were And it was also the era of the expendables
when Taken came out right, so like there was there's
the there's just a window for things.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Man.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I'll tell you what I saw yesterday on Twitter that
blew my mind. It was about a two minute compilation
obviously a student project, and it's just somebody from the
AV class walking around a high school I think in
Florida in nineteen ninety seven or eight, so essentially when
I graduated, were ross graduated and then just asking them

(14:54):
what their favorite move or what their favorite song is,
and it's all stuff you've heard of. But just I'm
sitting there, I'm like, is that how we looked? Is
that what we were wearing to school? Just thinking back, man,
it just looks so dated and I felt so old
watching that. Have you guys, maybe you watched the Colbert Show.

(15:14):
I do not. I don't even know what his show's called.
Is he he's the one who took over for Leno.
I don't not Leno, but yeah, but that is he
The Tonight Show is Colbert The Tonight Show. Okay, I
know he's got dancing needles. He's the Late Show, so
he's Letterman Show. That's how I remember these. They will

(15:36):
forever be those. For some of you, it'll be Carson's show.
I get that. It's you know, it's your age, but
one's Letterman Show and the other one's uh Letto Show. Sorry,
just the way that it is for me, so I
can't keep track. But anyway, she's with Colbert, and oddly
she's drinking a beer. We're not gonna deep dive of

(16:00):
that part of it. She's like drinking a beer because
of the way that she's portrayed as an alcoholic to
show that she's not. I'm not sure the logic here.
I didn't watch the I scanned what was going on

(16:21):
and my brain started to hurt. But that's not why
we're here. We're here for this. She then did one
of her accents right, And I don't mean like she
went to the South and she got a twang, or
she went to Boston and she put marbles in her mouth.

(16:41):
I mean she did an accent, and it's not for
any reason that I can understand. And it's just so
weird because you know, essentially that's going to be a
neutral audience. It's a nationwide show. You don't have to
lean into anything. Sound like you. But it's the accent

(17:02):
she did. Let me play it before I tell you,
because I think you'll pick up them.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Have you no empathy, man, you know, for the suffering
of other people?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Have you no sense of purpose?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
What? Dude?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
That is so bizarre? Can I say this? If there's
one accent you shouldn't lean into, right, If there's if
there's one accent out there, right, if you want to
do Russian, I mean, it's gonna be weird. But you
know you want to uh, I don't know. You want
to have a frame, you want to do a fake French,

(17:44):
froggy accent whatever. Jamaica is not the thing you need
to be leaning into because somebody might because if they
google Kamala and Jamaica. You're right, you're talking about like
the family history in that area.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Right.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Well, actually, if they google it, they probably won't see
that because sure, that's memory hold over on Google. But
there's a possibility like, oh, she's doing a Jamaican accent,
blah blah blah. Oh my gosh, the largest slave in
the in Jamaica, the largest plantation. Yeah so but that
with the beer is like a super strange bit too, Like, yeah,

(18:21):
I don't I'm gonna approach it was worked out. I
just know the way that it looked when I watched
about two minutes of it on on Twitter.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yes, but it's like a you know, recovering alcoholic. Myself,
I could say, like, you know, that's that bit is
I'm going to prove to you I'm not an alcoholic
by drinking this beer right now?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
That didn't work? Is that not how you change alcoholism?
You threatened it with a beer in a good time. Well,
I'm gonna show you who's in charge here man, it's me.
Oh and then so what's the thing. You have the
beer and you don't fight or have eight others? I mean,
I don't understand the challenge.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
I guess well she's on the screen. Yeah, but it
reminds me of the bit they did with Scott hall Wegg.
You know he had he had a horrible alcohol problem
and every thing goes Yeah, it does, everything does, And
what they did is they were like, you know what
we're gonna do, Scott, We're going to turn your alcoholism
into a bit and we're gonna have you drunk, and
we're gonna have you know, you know, walking around and
passing out in the ring. And believe it or not,

(19:15):
that wasn't the healthiest thing for them to do. Sort
of backfired on them.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh wow. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Imagine him like chugging the beer in the in the
in the ring and then suddenly going into his razor
remote accent from w WF.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
You know, I remember, I remember seeing people that were
mad over uh, stone Cold, just you know, with the
whole beer thing he did, which is iconic right in
the from a wrestling perspective. But they're like, it's promoting alcoholism.
Well no, well the difference was he wasn't an alcoholic. No, no, no, no,
This is my point. Yeah, this is my point, Like
if people are up in uh you know, I got

(19:48):
their shorts in a bunch over Stone Cold, smashing beers
and stuff, and there's not that story out there. The
Scott Hall stuff must have just blew their damn minds.
The There was an era, absolutely off the rails era
within within wrestling, and you know, it's it's how you

(20:09):
perceive it. Obviously there's what's going on now man McMahon
stepping down and some of the other stuff, but also
there was just we've talked about it on the show,
like the characters that she would have out there, even
you know fifteen years ago, you couldn't have that. What
did you say? What was the thing you sent me?
It was a tag team? There is? Is that real?

(20:31):
I just want to make sure is that real?

Speaker 5 (20:33):
Because I was sending it out to friends yesterday because
it came across my ex feet and I forgot I
had forgotten.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
About I get a random text from Raw.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
So I say the screen cap of it, like, you know,
like the photo of it, and it's just a two
girls go into the rings and their their ring name
was the Lesbians. Yeah, they were known as the Lesbians
during the you know, the Late Attitude era or whatever,
and it was it was something that Bischoff came up
with to improve ratings. And that's why I sent you
the second follow up photo explaining what the screen green

(21:00):
shot was, because when you see the screenshot and you're
not familiar, right, you think it's a joke, like You're like,
there's no way that was your name coming to the Ringley.
I mean like Finkle like you. I could still hear
in my head, like Finkle going the lesbians?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Were they lesbians? I don't know if they ever broke kfe,
but I don't know who is Asasha Brian and Jenny Lane. Okay,
well those are not not known people. They wrestled under
other stuff too, right, I recognize, Hey, man, it was
a different time. What was there? What was their signature move?

(21:36):
I don't I don't recall.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
Oh okay, it was one of those things where I
had completely forgotten about it and then I saw it
and I was like, oh my god, Yes, I.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Could speculate, but then we get fired. So that's just
the fact that you roll that man. Some people have
no Trump's got no filter. Trump's got it. Did you
all right? You're probably you're aware of this, right, So
you know he does this thing when he's when he's talking, Yeah,

(22:04):
because he's a lot of times he's just he's you know,
he's just free rolling man, just stream of consciousness. And
he'll he'll stop and then he'll be like where my
and then insert whoever it is, and it's caused people
to get upset. What did he say, where's my black guys?
One time? And everyone lost their damn mind? But they
were black guys for Trump or whatever the name was,

(22:27):
right anyway, So that's going on. So he's I think
that's at mar a Lago where he's giving that speech
doesn't matter and he stops and he says this. It's
hard to hear. He says, where are gays for Trump?

(22:51):
And there's uh, I'm assuming it's the black dude that
you see at the end. Anyways, black dude, I don't know,
just dressed in like, you know, a suit but no
tie kind of thing, in a cowboy hat, right, and
Trump goes, you don't look gay, and then they all
start laughing. I'm just like, holy hell, man. So it's uh,

(23:13):
it's it's good to be in radio and need a
bunch of audio because folks, uh.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Empathy, man, I'm sorry, you know, for the suffering of
other people.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
All right, you need to have a red stripe, And
why wouldn't you drink a red stripe too? I was
just thinking of that. I think it was that, you know,
it's a standard American logger. They get a red stripe.
Really own it and one of those rosta banana hats.
I'm sure. I'm sure the internet will have her photoshop

(23:46):
by lunch.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Like the the accent thing, the coding thing is super
weird when it comes to her. And somebody had mentioned like,
please put her in front of a group of Asian
American voters, please just please so we can hear the accent.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Somebody, isn't it illegal to actually drink out call to no, no, no, no,
no no, it's illegal to be drunk and in control
of broadcavies. You're going back to like old FCC stuff.
So because we you know, we had a lot of
a lot of the same stuff in the world of radio,

(24:19):
we cut our teeth through. So all right, anyway, six
forty four Cacy O Day Radio Program. When we come back,
how dire is it down in Florida? If I get
and we'll we'll talk to Ray later in the show
about this. Hopefully I got it. He's very very busy today,
so I have to be judicious with his time. But yeah,
this thing hasn't even hit yet, and you got people

(24:41):
run around, go well, we need a category six hurricane.
And it's interesting because the people who are screaming at
the loudest. Are also the people who in every other
tweet are like, see this hurricane. Yeah, that's climate change.
We're all going to die. And so pardon me if
I feel there might be a motivation all of you

(25:03):
sending Look, all of you sending me what you think
was the tag team wrestling girls signature move. I promise
you in the world of I got you beat, but
we ain't gonna get into it. Okay, So no, just
f I'm not ignoring your emails, but that's that's where
we're going to cut that off, all right, six forty

(25:23):
five pc O Day radio program. So a couple things,
A couple things I saw yesterday surrounding what's going on
down in Florida and what should be aiden by all
accounts and absolutely devastating hurricane approach overnight tonight. I'm not
sure the exact timeline here, but I know it's this

(25:46):
evening into overnight. So you see him, Do you see
the interview there? Apparently there's a dude with one leg
who lives on a little, tiny, busted sailboat. They're in Tampa.
I didn't see exactly where it is, but he's on
his boat and he's not leaving, and they call him

(26:07):
Lieutenant Dan by the way, which is what so they're interviewed.
I'm like, why they call him? Then then they show
he's missing a leg. I'm like, oh, okay, but the
dude's like, I'm in a boat, man. If the water
gets high, the boat goes up. And like, I'm sure
others have explained that that's not the only consideration. But

(26:31):
what was weird as a reporter's interviewing him, and at
no point the reporter go, yeah, you know what, if
it's one hundred and twenty mile an hour winds, doesn't
really matter. So I have this big story about how
he's going to ride it out, and nobody can convince
him otherwise. So I mean, that's an absolute tragedy if

(26:52):
that's the case. So but yeah, the one hundred or
the one hundred and sixty mile per hours, which currently
is what Milton had, I guess that says of what
two hours ago? Yeah, the expected landfall just south of Sarasota,

(27:12):
so pretty much where Ray and I were talking about yesterday,
kind of by Bradenton down there, if you know the
Tampa area, that's where they have that high bridge and
that's where the Florida National Guards dug in there at
the trop Man because the baseball stadiums all the way
down there. So this thing is gonna get nasty. And
everyone I know in Tampa that I that I talked to,

(27:33):
they're all gone, man, they're absolutely out of there. So
we'll get into well, I didn't talk to Randy, So
Randy's gonna ride that out at the iHeart Studios or not.
iHeart she works, she was iHeart still, she's retired. That's
what it was. Where does she live? Do you know
in the Tampa area? What I mean? Cause there's clear

(27:57):
water right, there's beach side and then there's you know,
you get all you go, you're in the swamp pretty
quick when you get on oother side of Tampa there.
I wouldn't be there. You know who else is sticking
is doctor Campbell. I talked to him yesterday. Uh, doctor
Kevin Campbell. For those who listened to the show for
a while, he decided he went down to Florida. And

(28:18):
who decided he was going to doctor down there? Apparently
there's a lot of old people. I don't know. The
Heart doctor is probably good business. He's he's not in Tampa.
But he's basically in the path and he asked if
he asked if tomorrow morning he can call in. I'm like,
I don't know, can you? I don't know, dude, So

(28:40):
we may get a first hand report from him. He's
on the other side of the state. I just want
to be clear, but still within the path where this
thing's moving. What it looks like when it gets to him,
I don't know, but I don't know that I'd stick around,
all right, So Randy's riding it out in Campbell but
not in the Tampa area. Well, look, if you've friends

(29:00):
or relatives or anyone down there, man, when the mayor's
out there saying if you stay, you die. And don't
get me wrong, it's like, because I see people going, oh,
you know, it's a chicken little it's the COVID stuff
all over again. And yeah, and this is about squandering credibility,
which we've talked about on this show a lot. Right,

(29:21):
when you have public officials going up there like a
game of Thrones, warning and going it will be the
winter of your death, right, remember that? How weird that
was when you had that level of apps just absolute
exaggeration to things as people's experience showed them. It becomes

(29:43):
harder for public officials to sit there and say things
like that and for people to take you here. As
crazy as that sounds, but you shouldn't need a public
official to look at the map and the pictures from
the ISS and space that you guys happen to see
those pictures yesterday to know that you probably shouldn't be there,

(30:05):
or at the very least you shouldn't be if you're
over on the beach side of Tampa, or really anywhere
near the bay for that matter. So anyway, we'll see
how that plays out. In fact, hold on, I actually
have a where is that? This was the other warning

(30:25):
they cave yesterday. Listen to this.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
In Hillsborough County, the evacuation order is mandatory in some places.
That means authorities cannot force people from their homes.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
But if you remain there, you could die. My men
and women could die trying to rescue you.

Speaker 8 (30:41):
For those in the mandatory evacuation zones who decide to
stay put, Florida officials have a dire warning.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
You probably need to write your name and permanent marker
on your arm so that people know who you are
when they get to you afterwards, or you could write
somebody else's to mess with them, but or you could leave.
Maybe you should pick the third one. But yeah, they're
not you know, and they say stuff like that, and
people are going to question it. The news will tell

(31:10):
you they're question it because of people like me, right, oh,
you know, with sharing any of the stuff from the
North Carolina mountains. But you did. Some people are just
not gonna listen, right. This is evidenced in every one
of these situations. Some people sitting there and they've decided
that it's more important to be able to I don't know,

(31:31):
try to mitigate damage or stop looters or whatever the
logic is, over their own personal safety because they sit
there and go, this is all I got and it's
a sad situation. But you can't discount the level of
increased distrust as it pertains to one weather events or

(31:53):
anything climate related. After you've been telling people every moment
of my life, literally every moment I've been alive, let's
see here, all right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. I got to deal with this first.
You said, there's a drunk man on the phone, All right,
hold on, hello, Hello, sir.

Speaker 9 (32:16):
Hello, Jamela wants you to know it. Don't be happy
if come your.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Way, don't you No, no, yeah, yeah, for people don't
know when I first brought that story up. I'm looking
at my email and Boston Paul is offended. She's drinking
a beer on Coldbert.

Speaker 9 (32:36):
Well, you know, you think she would have kept.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
It, possibly throw stones in the glassiest of houses, go
right ahead, you think.

Speaker 9 (32:44):
She would have kept it, you know, real political and
just went with the butt right, you know, but you
know they went with a Mella highlights. But anyway, yeah, yeah, see.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
What it was.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
So yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (32:55):
My nephew is Saint Pete and he and his family
black bags and they got a airbnb over Boca. I
would suggest you get that psychology if you're there.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you watching watch the interviews
with a with an amputee in a small boat that
looks like it's held together with duct tape. You know
what's coming. By the way, quick question, while I have
you and you're reasonably sober, explain to me why uh
what the hell is wrong with your your team there? Bro,

(33:31):
what your Pepper's been doing? What's your yes?

Speaker 9 (33:38):
Listen, listen, it's gonna take if they win five or
six games this year.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I'll be ignoring that part. Huh, you're the bar where
Safety was arrested for assault, strangulation, and drug charges.

Speaker 9 (33:50):
Don't running man be happy all right.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
For you?

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Well? All right, I got it. I can't no more. Goodbye. Well,
the screener was labeled accurately. I guess I didn't want
to talk about the jabrill jabrill pepper although you know,
look innocent until proven guilty. And he says one of
the Patriots players basically is accused of beating up his girl.

(34:18):
But uh he says it was her who threw herself
down the stairs or fell down the stairs or something
because she was drunk, because he wouldn't do something adult
with her. So I don't know, but you know that's
that's his side. Since I'm gonna put the story out there,
all right, let me uh let me flip over to

(34:40):
this to you a little little sidetracked there, all right?
So uh well, you know, since we're already in the
gutter there, maybe I'll just throw these two stories together.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
All right.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Is this what we're going to get? This slow drip
of these uh diddy stories? Man? Because every time I
see one of these, they creep me out more than
the previous one. So if you don't know, the newest
story on the the Sean Diddy Combs freak Offs still

(35:11):
so weird, is that I remember they had like a thousand,
a thousand, this is the description from the prosecute, A
thousand bottles of lubricant and baby oil. But you went
to Costco and you got a little crazy kind of stuff.
So apparently, according to the latest allegations, it wasn't just

(35:35):
baby oil or lubricant, but rather it was dosed and
they would rub and I don't mean use it just
in that area. I mean that they would cover them
up so they're all shiny, oily and the whole time
when they're rubbing them down inside of the of the

(35:56):
baby oil. I guess in that case is rhypnal, the
date rape drug. That's the allegation you have. What is this?
Let's see. Ariel Mitchell Kid is a lawyer for the accuser.
She said that, let's see, Yeah, she had been covered

(36:17):
in lubricant that was mixed with date rapro hypnol and
then visually viciously assaulted by three individuals, including Ditty. His
bodyguard and then a third friend is what it says, dude,
we got to get names. Can you you know would
be the greatest day is if on the very same

(36:37):
day the ditty, the Didty List and the Epstein list
came out. Can you imagine the reckoning that would be
out there if we have appetite for it? Of course,
because I've noticed a lot of the me two people
are really silent with the absolute treasure trove of Doug

(37:00):
Emhoff stuff. Kamala's husband basically, he is exactly it's put
Boston Paul in a home man, send me emails. He
is exactly the caricature that they you know, that they
called up and this took place in la you know,

(37:21):
basically rich powerful men and you know, in their positions
of power and requiring you know, hot female subordinates to
flirt with or perhaps even more and if they didn't
it would cost them their job. Right, It's the whole
power imbalance, right, We heard that a whole bunch like

(37:43):
it's the cookie cutter caricature. And there's a lot there
except most of the reportings being done by the Daily Mail.
So a British publication is the only one who seems
to really care about this. Do you know what the
Washington Post was reporting on today? I guess technically yesterday,
but I'm telling you about today. Oh oh yeah, no,

(38:06):
the Washington Washington Post, they decided that they had to
go run a story. So this is not at all
a distraction. The Washington Post is saying that Trump, because
of course you knew it was gonna be Trump, Trump
influenced and controlled the Brett Kavana investigation. Good, yeah, we're

(38:28):
going back to that. We're going back to the you know,
the magical letter that came out of Diane Feinstein's pocket. Oh,
I had this so I didn't want to have to
use it before we tumbled into rape conga lines and
I can't remember the term for drinking too much beer
and throwing up, but like all of these things that

(38:48):
just you didn't expect to see in a Supreme Court
nomination hearing, and then they got crazier and crazier, and
piles of women coming out, and a lawyer, a crooked
lawyer who is now in jail for attempting to extort
Nike and others, was on CNN like one hundred and
thirty times, mostly with Brian Stelter, who was telling him

(39:10):
he should be president. The absolute lunacy of the whole era.
Would you would think they'd have egg on their face,
But no, The Washington Post decided we're going to rehash that,
and basically it's the allegation is one that was already
out there, Basically that Trump hurried the investigation. Well wasn't

(39:31):
just Trump?

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Right?

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Remember they negotiated this literally in the committee because what
the Democrats wanted initially, they wanted them to withdraw the nomination,
right they and they're just like, we can't believe that
these allegations are out here. You didn't immediately withdraw him? Well, no,
why would? Why would? Why didn't you bring this up
initially too, By the way, only after he thought it
was going, well do you do, you bring it up?

(39:57):
And then they thought, well, if they did an investigation,
that would require them to withdraw because it would take
so long. Well, they said, no, we're not going to
do that because then you pull this stunt every damn time.
So we're gonna do it. We've already done an investigation,
but we will wait. Remember they waited a certain number

(40:17):
of days went around, and they said, look, most of
the stuff we cover there's not there there, But you're
not going to hold up an entire process on an allegation,
many of which are provably not true. Others are just
kind of he said. She said, but also her friend
is agreeing with him. She never saw them together, but

(40:39):
the whole thing was insane. This is what the Washington
Post is running pieces about. Let me grab that. We
got some more audio going to get into two and
much more to come CaCO Day Radio program. Hang on,
do you want to hear ego?

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Man?

Speaker 1 (40:54):
I was going to share this yesterday I did and
get around to it. All right, you're ready Juicymolier, Jesse Smolett,
But obviously Chappelle's name is far funnier, so we'll go
with that. So he you know, he's in OJ mode
right now. I don't know. You probably have seen some

(41:16):
of this, right, Oh well, we're gonna find who really
did this. And uh, there's a report that came out
saying that he has essentially spent all of his millions
three million just on appealing his conviction. Okay, I look,
I understand you don't want the felony on your record
all of that, but it's twofold. He is appealing his conviction,

(41:39):
but also he is adamant that it is the first
step to figuring out what really happened, and it's it's
clear you probably weren't gonna work, although you may in
the future, but you weren't going to work at Empire anymore.
I don't know that show's not even on the air,
is it not anymore? I don't think it is, and

(42:02):
probably weren't going to see a lot of top tier
opportunities come your way, but maybe down the road. You
got to sit back there, dude, I know that you
got this conviction, but you're not gonna like so for
you then to squander your money has to absolutely be
about ego, absolutely, because he is he is adamant that

(42:24):
it happened, even though he paid for it with a check,
because people go, how could you be sure? You don't know?
And you're right, I don't know exactly what happened, but
I know the thing immediately didn't sound right, And there's
pictures of the of the two buying, you know, literally
the things used. There's the check. The check thing will

(42:48):
blow my mind forever, like who pays for their own
assault with a check? But I digress. So as you know,
as they're going through through all of this and you
see it all that, So in my mind I have
a stronger suspicion that he is the one who did
it than not. But like that doesn't sit well with

(43:12):
this dude. So he's willing to squander what he could
have lived the rest of his life on responsibly. He
could have lived off the interest. I don't know how
much he has exactly, but three million spent there, probably
spend a million or more before he had four or
five million maybe more to put that in the bank,
Go do your thing, live on an island somewhere. But

(43:32):
he can't, like his ego won't let him. And you
know some of that was the OJ stuff, the OJ stuff,
which is crazy. Ooh, I'm gonna all right, I'm gonna
write a book called If I Did It and explain
how I would do it, like the audacity of that
back in the day. But this dude's poor. In every
penny he had, he's going to be broke and still

(43:53):
a felon over read because remember what they believe the
motivation was with Smolette was he didn't feel that he
was he was being taken. He thought he was being
taken advantage of by the producer's vampire with what they

(44:15):
paid him, and he wanted more money. And I guess
he concocted in his mind if he became the symbol
of this hate crime, it would raise his profile and
that would eventually lead to more money. Well, you bet wrong, man,
it did raise your profile. You got that part right.
It's like it's like you made a genie wish and
didn't word it correctly, and now you're gonna throw all

(44:37):
your money away. Just was trying to go at it.
I've seen this. I've seen this in the entertainment industry before.
I know a radio I have a friend of mine
as a radio host who sued another radio host and
they sued each other, and they spent seven figures seven
figures suing each other back and forth. It's just it's

(45:00):
it's wild. If you probably know who it is, I'm
not going to get into it here, but and I'm like,
why are you why why are you doing this? Why
why spend all of this? But in what happened, nothing nothing,
just lawsuit city, nothing, there's money down the drain man,

(45:20):
And I you know, good on the lawyers for figuring
out I guess we're they're good in this case that
Juicy Smoley Hash has a bank roll man basically putting
together some sort of package, obviously to try to mitigate
and help the folks who were damaged out there in

(45:42):
western North Carolina. Sorry, I just I had reload this
story because I'm dumb and I want to make sure
I had the correct updated one. Okay, So yeah, lawmakers
say they're ready to okay a package. It'll be two
hundred seventy three million in disaster relief. I don't think
that'll be all of it, obviously, and then you have

(46:04):
the federal portion, and that's kind of in line with
what we've seen with other hurricanes, if maybe a little
lower on the state side. But again, I don't know
that it's the totality of it. Going back like Matthew.
With Matthew, I think the state spent slightly more, and
I wonder if the damages from Matthew are like I

(46:26):
feel like this has to be worse, right, But I
don't know. I'm speculating here. I don't know, and you
know it'll take a long time, but let's see here,
Senator Kevin Corbin. Of course, Aril's got that dude, because
he was out scolding people for sharing videos, has seen
the devastation all too close. He represents the eight westernmost

(46:51):
counties in the state. Four have extensive and widespread damage.
Hey would and others. I know you know that. But
he said that even though the outpoint of help and
donations from across the state has been overwhelming and helpful,
it was time that the General Assembly did something. House
Speaker More said, the disasters pale in comparison to what

(47:11):
happened in western North Caroline. Okay, so good. That's that's
what I needed to hear. I want to hear one
of these lawmakers realizing that the Saint Matthew. I don't
get me wrong, some of you listening, we're absolutely devastated
by Matthew. It was in said to drive a forty
like you're going down to Wilmington, and then about what Wallace,

(47:33):
there's a lake, there's remember all the dead fish on
the road. Newburn? It was Have you been to Newburn
since Matthew? You haven't, and you've been before. You should
looks a little different, but just the sheer size of
this storm. So I expect this will be an opening volley.

(47:55):
My question please, this is all I ask. Do not
stuff any moon back stuff into this. Do not stuff
anything in here that doesn't have to do with this.
And I haven't seen any indication that they are, but
I'm telling you it's why it's among one of the
slimiest things that we see out there. If you guys
try to turn this into it. This isn't just me

(48:15):
yelling at the Republicans in charge, and I understand they
have veto proof majority, and also it's going to be
hard for Cooper to veto stuff that's storm made. That
being said, don't try to muck this up any of
you on any side to do what you gotta do.
You can fight about the other stuff later. Okay, here's

(48:40):
this is why I wanted this other story, all right,
So more estimates the total damage could be over ten
billion dollars, which would absolutely eclipse any any natural disaster
that North Carolina has faced and had to recover financially from,
even when in weighted dollars. Makers are expected to let's

(49:01):
see October twenty fourth. No, now that's their other one
that's scheduled out. When are they gonna when are they
actually gonna vote on this? Pretty quick? I guess all right,
So that and then they have a special one day
session that they had already structured for the twenty fourth
of October. So if they need to take up any

(49:22):
other issues disaster response, additional funding needed, they'll do another
bite at the apple. Okay, So they'll do this one
pretty quick, probably this week, and then on the twenty
fourth if they need to do more, and by then
we should start to have some semblance of an idea
of what actual costs are in many of these communities.

(49:42):
The state also, and this is a good thing, even
though I'm told it's not, the state has significant reserves
North Carolina, which I remember when I moved here thirteen
years ago. Whatever Bev Purdue was taking teacher pay raises
away and furloughing employees. We were we were in a

(50:03):
bad place. But now the state of North Carolina, if
you include all the reserve funds, is sitting on roughly
three billion dollars, which is a low tax is gone.
I don't know that I always like, but here you go,
this is this is, this is what this is for.
Let's see. They also have seven hundred and thirty three

(50:24):
million in an emergency response and disaster reserve account the
state's rainy Day Fund four point seven five billions. So
that's not moneies that are allocated for flexible things necessarily,
but moneies they're sitting on. So yeah, you guys, you
guys have a you got a bunch of our money.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
So this.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
I just speak for me. Go ahead and use it.
So yeah, go ahead and use it. So we'll report
on that obviously as as an unfold. All right, So
I played some audio and if you're just joining us,
I'm gonna play it again because I want to make
I said something that was inaccurate and I want to
make sure that I say it accurately. I was sharing

(51:06):
with you this little snippet of a radio interview that
was done by the Chimney Rock Mayor pro tem. I
said mayor. It's mayor pro tem, but you know, local
government official, elected official in Chimney Rock doing an interview

(51:26):
and there's this a really weird exchange that happens, and
it's hard. It's hard for me to judge because on
this show we joke about a lot of stuff, and
so it's pretty serious stuff. And it absolutely is a
way to we use humor. One is a way to
deal with some of this stuff. But two, I think

(51:47):
people when they're approaching, especially information within a tragedy, that
is how a lot of people deal with it. So
they may gravitate towards that. But also, if people listen,
I've had this conversation a thousand times. People go, all right,
you should just talk about politics. Well, no, we are.

(52:07):
We have a much broader audience than other, you know,
typical talk radio, right wing talk radio shows. So if
people are listening and they are having fun with us,
well we have to talk about more serious stuff, maybe
they're there to listen to it. I think that that's
an advantage this though, this just kind of it. It's

(52:31):
just a creepy thing to make a joke about, and
I'm gonna play it for you, but maybe I'm maybe
I'm the one overreacting. You can go ahead and let
me know. So here is the Mayor pro tem of
Chimney Rock chatting with a talk host down in South Carolina.
I mean, the other thing was that you guys have
bodies all over the place.

Speaker 6 (52:50):
Oh yeah, there's one laying right by me right No.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Now, now she it's now. When he asked that question,
he's asking it in an in an illustrioive way. Right,
there's it's not sar Kata know how to describe it,
like he's asking that question. He doesn't necessarily mean that,
but he's he's speaking to the urgency of what's going

(53:17):
on there. I don't know that i'd have worded it
like that, but who knows, maybe I would so, But
she's the one who then cracks the joke. But then
he laughs. I'm just saying, ugh, But I don't know
if that was a nervous laugh on his end, going
oh my god, did you just say that. I mean
the other thing was that you guys have bodies all
over the place.

Speaker 6 (53:35):
Oh, yeah, there's one laying right by me, right. No,
we had one fatality in this area, right, and it
was something that someone chose to stay in her home.
She was an elderly, invalid woman that was not She
did not want to leave. The firefighters offered to carry

(53:57):
her out, neighbors tried to get her out, and she
said absolutely not. And her house was taken away by
the flood with her in it. So that was our
one and only fatality, that's it. Yeah, and it was
of her choice. So there are other fatalities in North Carolina,
but not here.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Okay, all right, and and then there's a little more
to do here.

Speaker 5 (54:20):
That's so, that's so inappropriate for a government official to
even be making that joke. If we were going to
make that joke in the show, we'd be fired. Well,
that's such an inappropriate joke to be in that position.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
What's what's crazy to me is she had this information,
like I didn't know the narrative of the person who
died in Chimney Rock, right, I just saw. I just
got a list. Here's all the plate, here's all the
counties where the deaths where, Here's how many that we
know of. But she knows this sad story. What a
sad story, this elderly woman. It doesn't sound like she's

(54:53):
got family people around her, even though you know, yeah,
the firefighters came out. There was only so much you
can do. And she's it's like, this elderly, lonely woman
just said, no, I'm gonna I died alone. That's that's
an incredibly sad story. So when you know that, when

(55:13):
you know that and you're going to be delivering it
to this dude, don't open with a joke, even if
he gives you an opening.

Speaker 5 (55:21):
Even the opening he gave her, though, I mean, it's
an honest question because you're hearing these stories come out
of there, right. We know we know for like, Marky
knows somebody firsthand who had over in western North Carolina.
I can't remember that where specifically it was, but she
was telling me yesterday that she had bodies in her backyard. Yeah,
and like, and they're finding them in trees and the like,
you know, and creeks and stuff, and it's just like,

(55:43):
this is something that's really happening there for you to
be a government like an elected government official representing the
people and making a joke about it. I mean, like
you say, we make a lot of jokes on the show.
Do you have any jokes on this topic we've made,
like on the topic of western North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
I dude, let me go to the let me go
to the tally board.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
Oh, it looks like none, right, because it's inappropriate, and
we know we would get not only but I wouldn't
make them.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Listen.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
I had people during when this was happening, right when
we were off last week, sending me a boone big
beer memes. Right, I didn't think they were funny. I'm
not posting them. I had people. I didn't mention it,
you know, because it's inappropriate. It's not you you can
say it's because we've been in this had this job
in this industry for a while. It has nothing to

(56:27):
do with this job. It has to be with being
a person who grows up, who is a human being, who,
once you're a human being, you understand that that there's
a certain there's a time and a place for things,
and that is inappropriate. That person cannot And I guess
what I'm reading about this mayor pro tem is she's
a she's a transplant, right, she's not from the area.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
No, that didn't Yeah, I guess she came out hearing.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
I just that is crazy to me. And when it
comes to the host laughing, that could be nervous laughter.
I don't know, Yeah, because I was born on this yea,
if I want to attack some guy, uh, if that's
how he deals with it.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
But he sounds like a very competent host his deliveries,
you know what I'm saying, Like he sounds he sounds
like a guy who hosts a talk show and that
has probably done it for a while. So I don't
know but he didn't make the joke. He just it's
the way he responded to it's it's the story is
about her, and it is baffling to me that that's
the direction that you chose to go. But also that's

(57:28):
why I throughout the conversation. Maybe it's the gallowed humor thing.
It's how some people deal with it. I mean, knowing
having knowledge of that story, what happened to this woman,
this poor woman, Like that's a that's a heavy thing
to carry around, especially if you're an elected official there,
especially if you know for a fact the fire went
over and negotiated with her and try to get her
out of there. And where's the family in this? Does

(57:51):
she have family? Maybe she doesn't have family.

Speaker 5 (57:53):
There's a reason people say too soon, right, and this
is the reason, like too soon for that joke.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
Sorry? Yeah, And you know every other day of the
year you want to call and do the boom big
beer joke and make my life miserable. Fine, but you
know right now, pause, and those are the decisions you
have to make. I can't tell you the amount of
times I am mid sentenced and in my mind, I'm like,

(58:20):
you know what, maybe I'm not going to go there,
and it's not even necessarily like earlier when we were joking,
when we were talking about WWE and stuff, and we
were pointing out some of the nineties two thousands era
stuff that just wouldn't fly today, Like you got to
know when to say when look at that bringing a
beer beer slogan there, All right, seven forty eight, let's

(58:42):
not keep ray waiting. It's a busy weather day, Ray,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (58:47):
My man?

Speaker 7 (58:48):
Hey, good morning, Casey. Our weather really doesn't change much.
We've been saying it for the last that seems like
week worse more that we've really got nothing. There might
be a little patchy fog this morning, otherwise, sunshine, a
little bit of a down to the warm up. Low
to mid seventies today, maybe closer to the upper sixties
to low seventies tomorrow. A little bit breezy too tomorrow
with that cooler air coming in. And then Friday, another

(59:09):
seventy degree day before we get near eighty in some spots,
especially the Triangle by the end of the weekend. The
weekend is going to beautiful. We may have some lows
late week in the mid number forties, and then even
next week more dry weather expected late week, we may
start seeing some moisture. Try to get back in here.
Add for Milton, speaking of powerful category five storm right
now one hundred and sixty mile per hour maximum sustained

(59:32):
winds and some advisories up for the coast the southeast
coast of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia for maybe
some water rise or some limited surge and some coastal
beach erosion. And so most of the issues at least
for the Carolinas and southeast Georgia are likely going to
be out near the Atlantic. Here inland, none of the
impact is getting this far inland. So powerful storm forecasts

(59:55):
to make landfall sometime around midnight or just thereafter now
near Sarah So did the center anyway has a category
for one hundred and thirty mile p hour storm at
least that's the latest from the Hurricane Center.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Casey, all right, all right, there you go, raised agic
from the Weather Channel. We got to hit a break.
We'll be right back. And these are good theories. And
this is why I'm bringing it to you that maybe
the maybe she was annoyed at the question she was
getting from the host. Was he asking about conspiratorial stuff.
I will tell you this because we didn't we didn't

(01:00:28):
load the whole interview. Obviously, what would The other questions
did involve some some things that have been floating around
that were unverified, and obviously she was asked about it.
I don't know if they were big conspiracy stuff. Was

(01:00:52):
what was the one immediately before? I'm sorry, I have
a little transcript thing here, all right, So anyway, so
this is money. Monday afternoon is when the interview happened.
Just for context there and one of the questions surrounded
a viral video that was circulating claiming that there was
a meeting between local, state, and federal officials where decisions

(01:01:14):
are being made. I don't think this is the raise
the town, nobody lives her anymore video. I think it's
a different one. So yeah, look, that's why this is
the process though. Okay, this is what I've been wishing
the media would do. Right, don't just sit there and say, oh, well,
Roy Cooper said all this stuff is malarkey, Well go

(01:01:38):
investigate it. Some of it probably is. That's what people
do during these Most of them are easy to spot.
Be quite honest with you, if you've done this for
more than five minutes, but there's some out there that
deserve Look the rotor wash video, right, that's not a
conspiracy anymore. The North Carolina National Guard has said that

(01:02:00):
that was theirs and that the crew is grounded right now,
which I hate to see if we got if we
have trained soldiers that are at you know, have the
ability to fly helos, which is something we kind of
need right now. I hate that this is the thing,
but also that's a huge problem. Would happen good rock
and roll? Here is the Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, or,

(01:02:22):
as the media has described him, the man missing in
action because he didn't show up for a vote or something.
Where have you been hiding, sir?

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
We're hey, hey, Katie, how you doing. I've been up
and spending most of my time up in west of
North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
Oh okay, yeah, because I made a show like you
just you just disappeared, And I'm like, I don't know.
I saw a video of Mark here and he was
moving some stuff there and talking to some folks there,
and so, uh off, I want to get into your experience,
but I want to ask you a question just because
I want to put this to rest, because you know,

(01:02:57):
people are like, well, Mark didn't vote on this stuff.
If Mark doesn't vote as part of your your obligate,
your Council of State obligations, one, that's not unusual. In two,
that just confirms passage. If for the other people voting, right,
this is a thing that happens all the time. Because
they're trying to use that to say you don't care
while you're simultaneously.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Up in the mountains man, right, yeah, you know, essentially
a no vote was a yes vote. I mean, if
the vote passed, they didn't need me. I mean, this
is this is ridiculous media narrative, is what this is.
These folks are out of their minds. They have highlighted
the fact that I missed this vote that didn't count.

(01:03:36):
But they when I was up in western North Carolina
Saturday evening, Sunday, Sunday, all day long, traveling the places
that have just been destroyed. When I was flying goods
in on Monday with civilian volunteers. When we were up
there on Tuesday, I did not see one single solitary
news camera following me. Isn't that bazaar? Not one single

(01:04:00):
military reporter, nobody knocked on my door and asked me, hey,
how was your trip up the west of North Carolina?
What was going on? They were knocking all my door
out to the lines and trash from CNN, and they
were asking me questions about an inconsequential vote, a vote
that didn't matter, that was essentially a yes vote that
still passed. But they did not ask me about the

(01:04:20):
things that I've seen in the West of North Carolina.
Our current news leada right now, the legacy media, it's
discussing the things that they do they except with sitting
their newsrooms and try to figure out ways to destroy
people that they don't like instead of actually delivering the
news of people. And we got to change that base.
And I think the way we do is by turning
to television off well.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
Yeah, but never the radio, just to be clear. So
with that in mind, you are venting one of my frustrations.
And I want to turn this over to what you've
seen here in a moment. But one of the biggest
frustrations that I and a lot of other people have
is we're seen. You know, it's a fire hose, you
just of information and video and people saying this is

(01:05:01):
my experience. You know, I tried to get help and
it didn't work, or I did get help and look
who helped me with a mule string? Right, it's it's
the good, the bad, and everything in between. And there
is this drum beat from a lot of politicians and
the news media even saying, you know everything, unless it
comes straight from us, don't you believe it? And to

(01:05:23):
your point, how the hell are they supposed to know
if this stuff is true? If they're not up there
investigating the claims that people are making about inefficiencies or
ways to do better, or really any of it. Because
I haven't seen them on spot reporting that the national
networks up there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
I have not either. I've seen them follow around Velvet
and Cooper every chance they get. I've seen them do
the things they want to do. The news media does
what it wants to do, they don't actually do reporting. Again,
if this is a case of being fair and ballot,
this is a case of wanting to tell the truth,
a news crew would have all us up there. They
will say, hey, he's taking up supplies, he's going up there,

(01:06:03):
Let's go see what he's going actually going to go do.
Let's go investigate to see if he actually is delivering
supplies and visiting these places, it didn't happen. It's all
over Twitter. It's all over Twitter comments that I made
on Facebook fifteen years ago. They're glad to put that
out and talk about that. But what we did last week,
they don't want to talk about it, which highlights the
fact they don't want to talk about the real issues

(01:06:25):
in this race. Casey, I've been telling everybody everybody that
can everywhere, this race here this year really buols down
to the same thing that all races should boil down to.
And it's one single solitary word. It's not politics, it's
not personalities. It's politics, or it's a policy. Policy is
what matters. Who's going to pass the policies is going

(01:06:47):
to help our state and our nation to be better.
That's what folks need to think about when they go
to the voting polls, not these silly commercials, not the
news media. They need to look at the facts of
how our whether or not our government is a fish,
and if it is, who got it there and who
passed the policies to make that happen, And if it's not,
who could path the policies to get it to that place.

(01:07:09):
So I've been telling everybody that because the news media
and the Democrats certainly don't want to talk about that issue.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Let me let's let's let's talk about the folks out
in the mountains. And just to be clear, because I
can already see this coming, this is Mark's regularly scheduled interview, right,
So he didn't come on and go, hey, can I
come over and talk about because I was up there
and he didn't even know. I didn't tell him I
was going to askhim or anything, because I can already
sniff this out. But here's the question. I do want

(01:07:35):
to ask you, what, in your time up there talking
to folks help and you've been all over what is
the most horrific thing that you've seen that people need
to know so that they can prepare themselves for some
of these stories we still don't know about yet. And
what is the most hopeful thing that you've seen in
this last.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Week's market, The most distressing thing, the most heartbreaking thing,
the most worrisome thing. Right now, it's the amount of
people who are missing. We've met people who have family
members who are missing. That one gentleman in particular, I
met his family is I think his brother and sister
in law were in a trailer in a campground. They
were washed away. They found the trailer, but they have

(01:08:16):
not found them. And that's the story that we heard
repeated over and over again of the missing. And we
are praying vehemently that these people are found and that
the death toll won't be as devastating as some think
it may be. But the loss of life, certainly, certainly
is the most distressing thing that we heard. The loss

(01:08:37):
of property. I mean, my goodness, some of those landscapes
up there, they're unrecognizable, places like Swannanoah and the old
Fort U and other places on up higher in the
higher country. I mean these places there, they're unrecognizable. I
forty where it washed away. I mean, the incredible power
that water to wash that highway way the way it did.

(01:08:57):
That's going to be a while before it's fixed. But
I can tell what the hand down is. The best
thing that we saw. The best thing that we saw
was the Appalachian spirit up there, that volunteer spirit, those folks,
neighbors coming together to help neighbors. Is a lot of
folks up there that would not be making it through
this right now if it was not for the volunteers

(01:09:18):
and not just the volunteers that live up there, but
also volunteers that have come from every state of communities
all around this state. Things have been donated case everything
from helicopter helicopters and few to shoes and socks. Folks
are are given. They're giving up their time, they're giving
them their money, they're giving them their resources, and they're

(01:09:40):
making things happen up there for their neighbors. And that's
the best thing that I think that I saw the
entire time that I was up there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
I got about a minute. Looks like they're going to
put a package out. It's not being billed as the
end all be all. There may be more. It's gonna
be about what two hundred and seventy dollars. Luckily, the
state of North Carolina is sitting pretty flow us on
some of the reserve accounts in your that's not going
to be enough, right from what you've seen, I'm assuming, well, I've.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Already had that conversation with some leadership, and of course
you know, this is just a preliminary amount of money.
The longer term fix is going to require longer, longer
term strategy for spending. So we have to sit down
and look at what the longer term needs are and
target the places and prioritize and all those good things.
And so there will be more coming. But this is

(01:10:31):
just a preliminary amount that's coming out for some immediate
fixes that we need right at this moment.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
Okay, and obviously there's gonna be the revenue laws from
fall leaf season Tourism's it'll be a long time before
we know. Mark. I'll let you get to it. I
know you got to form your head of two, but
I appreciate you a few minutes this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Okay, thank you, We appreciate that. Thank you. Trason, good
talk to you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
So look at that. We were able to locate the
Lieutenant governor, apparently the only folks in the media who could.
So we're good Ross found him. He's like a Carmen
San Diego enthusiast. Anyway, eight twenty three, we'll take a break,
be right back. Some of these stories we're going to
talk about. First this Maryland State Police have agreed to

(01:11:16):
a three million dollar payout to black female applicants who
failed the basic tests. So you know they got a
basic test. You want to apply to the state police.
Here's how you do it take this test, and you
got to meet this number. And you know it's all
disclosed everything. They were told there is a test. They

(01:11:37):
were told in detail what would be on the test,
and they decided, Well, the reason I failed, obviously is
racism and sexism. And I can't disagree with them because
state officials just agreed by paying them for this insanity.

(01:11:59):
By the way, you think you could pass the test? Ross,
You think you could pass the Maryland State Police test
enough so you could become a Maryland State Police officer.
I'm not so sure. And let me do that. I'll
give it. I'll give it a shot, all right. I
got a handful of questions here. Let's go ahead and

(01:12:23):
dive into this. All right, spell the word knives, O
k N I vees knives. Look at that. You're you're
on your way? Oh really? I thought it? Okay? All right,
hold on, all right, So, in preparing to report on
a home burglary, an officer list four items stolen. These
are their values. What is the total value? You ready?

(01:12:47):
Fifteen dollars for stereo, four hundred dollars for TV, one
hundred dollars for a gold chain, and forty dollars for
radio fifteen hundred, four hundred, one hundred and then forty
loan dollars two thousanty bucks. Oh wow, you are so fast. Yeah,
that is the correct answer. Look at that. You're almost

(01:13:09):
a police office, policed office.

Speaker 5 (01:13:11):
I've got what it takes the next answer. No matter
what the question, my answer is going to be tas them.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
That's he's not a question, that's not the But that's
not one of the questions here. Oh it's you know,
so much of this is spelling. Some of us just
you gotta visually see it. But if you see it,
you realize how simple all of them, all of this is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
All right, one more and if you pass this, you're
chief of Maryland State Police. Are you ready? Officer Jones?
Tase him? What I haven't even told you what Officer
Jones is doing? Trust he's out untrusted? Okay, well Jones.
Officer Jones sounds like a good guy. Here's why. Officer

(01:13:58):
Jones normally works from three to eleven PM. However, at
ten fifty six or ten to fifty five PM, he
got on a scene of an accident and had to
remain there till one thirty, So he normally gets off
at eleven, he had to remain till one thirty. How
long passed his regular shift? Did Jones work two and

(01:14:20):
a half hours and five you gott add the five
minutes in five minutes? No tas Wait, there's no tasing
in this. It's an accident, man, You're not your tasing
accident victims. Now do you hear how that makes you sound?
You show up on this, you show up in your
squad car on the scene, You're like, oh my gosh,
there's been a rollover, right, this woman strapped in the car.

(01:14:41):
It's amazing. We should get the jaws of life.

Speaker 5 (01:14:44):
It's amazing how often we watch on Patrol Live. Yeah,
might answer to any situation there in his taser.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
You know what. A lot of times it's the way
you should get. It works out a lot of times.
I'm like, look, he ran, won have been held a
run if you tasted him. Yeah, that's true. Oh yeah,
there's videos of people that are in a dead run
getting taste and then just pancatune.

Speaker 5 (01:15:04):
You can We've watched it so much now you can
tell when people are gonna run. You can just tell.
Like a lot of times, like so they like pull
them out of the car for like a traffic thing
or whatever, like, well, let's search your car.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
You're a little suspicious.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
They take them out, and like if they if they
get out and they start if they bring out their
phone and they're just talking on their phone the entire
time and ignoring the police officer and just sort of
like looking around and like.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
They're just gonna forget the right.

Speaker 5 (01:15:29):
Yeah, Like every time they break out their phone and
they do the entire I'm gonna ignore you thing, they
end up taking off tase them.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
These are accident victims. I understand what you're saying. That's
at least somebody has suspected of something. This is an
accident victim who needs who needs the jaws of life,
who needs extracted from a vehicle. You're gonna hit that
poor woman with a taser, well, arguably she probably could
have drove better. Those questions are pretty ridiculous, though, dude.
And there's a bunch more. They're just really hard to

(01:16:00):
do verbally, but it is. It's basically like the scene
in Idiocracy where you're sticking blocks through the holes and
then the dude's like covering up his blocks, like I'm
sorry if you're not passing that test and you're still
mad to the point where you get lawyers to go
out and shake down. Look, they just settled because politics.

(01:16:21):
Let's face it, you can't you can't convince me. You
can't convince me that that's racist or sexist or any
of that garbage. In fact, the test in and of
itself had been altered, removing a good portion of the

(01:16:42):
grammar section. Which that's a bad idea, right there. Man.
You know, you're a police officer. You need to be
able to clearly communicate with people. You need to be
able to note things accurately in reports. But yeah, they
so they dumbed this thing down. Anyway. According to the lawsuit,
applicants were allowed to take the test four times per

(01:17:05):
year and had to get a seventy percent. But if
they if they fail four times straight, they have to
wait a year before they take it again. And for
somehow that's super racist and sexist. Oh yeah, they got
three million dollars out of it, So there you go. Also, this,

(01:17:29):
I said, it's a half hour of just insanity. I
don't I'm trying to. I don't understand why sixty minutes
does this. It's only going to cause controversy. I understand
you can't run if you're doing an edited interview. Arguably
you shouldn't. You should be doing a live interview with
the president, you know, with somebody's running for president. So

(01:17:51):
we don't wonder what was out there. We saw Trump
get into it with sixty minutes. He released the whole thing.
It changed the narrative that they were saying, kam la haarah,
same deal, same deal. Obviously that didn't look like it
went well for we played you the audio yesterday. So
what do they do as part of the They then
edit what they did show, so they only showed what

(01:18:14):
was edited already, and they left stuff out in fact
on the on their sixty minutes page, I have a
section where it's the outtakes there, not outakes, but stuff
that didn't make it in there. And that's selective, by
the way, it's not all of it. And what was
crazy is they There's a couple questions where they asked
comed like who is our nemesis? Right which country? And

(01:18:35):
she said I ran And she gave a seemingly coherent
answer that probably aligns with Trump's opinion of Iran, although
he's probably got personal beef perhaps so like like, why
would you leave that out of what you aired if
you weren't trying to decap this one. That's so that's
its own conspiracy theory. But what I don't understand is

(01:18:56):
they then altered and edited stuff they aired on TV.
So you've already aired it, why would you alter it?
And I'll give you an example. We played this yesterday
for you. Okay, this was Kamala the net Yahoo question.
All right, check this out.

Speaker 8 (01:19:14):
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.

Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
In the region. What it's it's a word salad, it's
it's not coherent, and she looks nervous delivering it. But
that's that's history. That's the reality. So when you're putting
this stuff, you know, archived online so that people can
access it, and then you change it, what am I
supposed to think here, by the way, is the new edit?

(01:20:00):
This is now? If you go to sixty minutes, you
will see he is the version that is there available
for people wanting to review it without having to dig
into stuff. But on their website, this is what this
is what that question now sounds like.

Speaker 8 (01:20:14):
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah, who is not listening, we.

Speaker 4 (01:20:19):
Are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
the United States to be clear about where we stand
on the need for this war to end.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
What even is that? I mean, those are not remotely
the same answers, I understand. You know, with Barack Obama.
When Barack Obama came into office, we had to make
a decision, and I remember having this conversation. Barack Obama
paused a lot a lot. Roy Cooper does it a
little bit, especially when he's doing his folksy thing, but

(01:20:50):
like Barack Obama would pause a lot. And so the
discussion we had to have. Because I'm the one editing
the audio at that point, I'm like, do I remove
these just yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:21:02):
So I started here in twenty eleven, right, So Barack
Obama was in office, and I remember, and this is
we didn't you and I did not have a conversation
about this. I remember being here before everybody else and
loading Barack Obama audio and consciously having to make the
decision do I cut these pauses out?

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
Because he would pause so much he was Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck does that too. That's a whole that's a
whole industry joke. But yeah, And because pauses, even though
they're not sound, are context. And you hear the pause
in Kamala's voice with the original clearly what people would
gather seeing the look on her face, but also hearing

(01:21:40):
that pause is that she's struggling for words. She's struggling
for a coherent answer to a question she should have anticipated.
So yeah, I mean, these are these are things that
we decide all the time. But the biggest thing is
you got to ask yourself, I take this out, does
it change the context? And if it changes the context,
you don't clip it. You don't change it, not if

(01:22:02):
you want to be intellectually honest about things. All right,
O Day radio program were going to Ray Roll. Oh man,
you guys are having and I hear you have a
tech stuff. I just had some tech thing.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Did you.

Speaker 7 (01:22:19):
I'm it seems like a couple of spots I've had
tech issues. Ours was intern at home and then FTP were.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
Just yeah, FTP stuff. I wonder if there's some bigger
issue going on.

Speaker 7 (01:22:31):
So you had that too on your end.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
Yeah, Well, our call screener is it's a you know,
a lot of this stuff is virtual networks. So like
the call screener, like INSS Ross's studios, in my studio,
the call screeners are on a virtual network. It's not
just came right, and so when that happens, it happened.
Interesting anyway. All right, man, let's let's get to the

(01:22:53):
the nitty gritty here. Still awful, right, yeah, still offul
And now people are like, we need a cat six.
I don't want to get into that, but no, what
can people expect?

Speaker 7 (01:23:06):
Well here, obviously we're gonna go with the same message.
It's gonna be beautiful. Temperatures of go up and down
countee eighty degrees returned by the weekend, staying dry out
near the coast. Actually, we do have some watches tropical
storm watches for the coastal waters of some beach erosion
and water rise. Looks like they start from about Wilmington

(01:23:27):
give or Takedown through the South Carolina beaches where we
even have a tropical storm warning. So that's about as
close as any of the impacts as we go through
tomorrow come from Milton, but it's gonna be rough out
there in the water. Some small craft advisories also, but
dry for everybody else. Milton was taken down to a
CAT four with the eight o'clock update, but still one

(01:23:48):
fifty five forecast to come in near Sarasota now at
one thirty, so minimal low end CAT four, but it
doesn't really matter. Three Cap four not gonna make much
of a difference historic water rise forecast. If some of
these are realized, some of these water rises ten fifteen
feet in the highest peak of the storms are getting

(01:24:12):
controlled by the way. Yeah, there's there's a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
Like I saw one of the weather the women weather reporters.
She's got like the raging waters behind her. It's a
whole green screen thing. It was amazing.

Speaker 7 (01:24:23):
So yeah, it's it's pretty incredible with that and IMR
stuff is.

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
But yeah, water.

Speaker 7 (01:24:28):
Rise, if the track changes, it's it's I don't think
it's going to be by much. But you know, now
we're talking about places like a Fort Myers that was
devastated by Ian and those areas, and you know, Sarasota
could be the Bulls Eye right now around midnight, you're
just thereafter for landfall, but already seeing some of the rain.
It's kind of detached from the main circulation, but there's
already been heavy rain and severe weather in parts of

(01:24:49):
central and South Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
So well, it's begun. Well, you got a long day ahead.
I don't know if we'll even be talking to you
tomorrow or maybe somebody, but we'll get through it, and
I appreciate it, Okay,
