Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up on the show as I beat my microphone

(00:02):
for no reason. So I'm swinging my hand around the
uh Washington yesterday. I'm not gonna play an ounce really
of I'm not gonna play an ounce of the audio
from the thing, So don't you're not gonna, you know,
get torture with that. But the Corey Booker insanity up

(00:23):
there and the Anna Paulina Luna or whatever, and it
wasn't just her, but with proxy voting for new parents,
it's not just new moms, it's actually new parents. The
way that that's the rule change seems to be constructed.
There wasn't a day that a lot got accomplished, even

(00:44):
though Luna got her thing. It literally then ended with
the leadership in the house like all right, we're not
doing anything for the rest of the week. Really, and
it is it is a control. What you saw was
what's known as a dis charge petition. Leadership doesn't like them.
Leadership wants to control what bills actually get votes. And

(01:09):
to some extent, I understand that if they were churning
stuff out, but like you guys really haven't been churning
anything out. And I don't know how I feel about
the rule change. Honestly, like some you know, stuff like
that sometimes makes sense, but you know, one of the
things in an elected body, and you've seen it, not
just at the federal level. But she's like the lottery, right,

(01:31):
Remember when they wanted to get the lottery in North Carolina.
If you've been here long enough to remember that, what
do they do? They literally timed it and had to
coincide it with what one member's wedding, so he wasn't there,
and then there was another person for some reason, I
think maybe illness, and then that's that's what you do
if you can get the number. Remember when remember when

(01:53):
that lunatic state senator starts screaming her head off because
she claimed that all the Democrats were at nine to
eleven memorials would they weren't and that Republicans took advantage
of it they which they did. They took they took
advantage of y'all not being there. But it was literally
listed as a possible thing that could be voted on
that day. So like there's a certain gamesmanship to that.

(02:18):
But in retrospect, you also saw what happened during COVID
right where they basically said, you can remember the dude,
who was who was voting on the yacht? The's proxy
voting on a yacht, And they're like, that's not really
what that was intended for. So like, I get the
arguments all around, but I don't know that it's a

(02:40):
productive use of the gopiece time to die on this
hill even though it's one of their members who assentised.
I mean, it wasn't just there. It was bipartisan, I guess,
but like, yeah, you're talking about talking about babies, which
I don't know. I was kind of a debate issue

(03:01):
in Washington over some other stuff. So but I don't
have any kids, so I don't know that I can
speak intelligently about what it is to attempt to accomplish
you know, you know, go to it. Obviously, this is
a unique situation because they're still supposed to be working
right and so feasibly, feasibly you're going to have to

(03:25):
have childcare there if you're a member of Congress for
all the you know, the stuff you're supposed to be doing.
I mean, you got a thousand page bills you apparently
are able to read in a day, so you can't
do that bouncing a baby on your knees. So I
don't know what any of this looks like, but I
know some people, but mostly women, obviously, mostly women who

(03:50):
have a baby. Usually it's not the first one. It's
that old meme right where the first kid is like,
you got all the expensive stuff, all the safety equipment.
Time you get to your third, you're like, babe, then
go play with the wood shipper. Go play with the
wood shipper kids. Right. I was the oldest, so like,
I wasn't allowed to do anything initially, and by the
time my brother gets along, my mom say you want

(04:12):
to drive, you can stand up? Now, you can do that.
So and then so I've seen I've worked with people
that had a baby and then I see him in
the office like two weeks later, I'm like, didn't you
just have a baby? Okay, all right? And then others
who will take like a sabbatical. One of the sellers
up in Minneapolis when I was up there, she had

(04:34):
two babies while I was up there. She took a
year off for each baby. I'd forget that she worked
there and then she come back. So all that to say,
we'll get into it with one of those up in
the up in the middle of all of it. Congressman
Brad Not, he'll join us at eight oh five and

(04:54):
we'll talk babies and whatever. Corey Booker was doing. I
refused to call it a filibuster because I don't I
think it is a filibuster? Is it? As I understand,
And I'm not trying to be I'm not trying to
be coy here. As I understand, the filibuster is about
holding up an objection to a specific piece of legislation. Azzawi,

(05:16):
Corey Booker was doing. His beef was all everything and nothing,
really everything and nothing. He just rambled on for twenty
four hours and twenty minutes or whatever it was for
about how much Trump he how much he hates Trump,
dood link, what Trump's doing. Well, that's not a piece

(05:37):
of legislation, that's that's an agenda. So I don't know
if it qualifies as a filibuster. I know that the
Senate's also not going to accomplish anything this week as
a result, which in that in that sense, it fills filibuster.
If that was his intended goal, I just don't know
that he's smart enough to figure that out. I don't know.

(06:01):
And while he's sitting there rambling on his staff is
getting arrested for trying to bring handguns into the one
of the capitol buildings. Oh, Roster, we know if it
was T Bone. I didn't even check that the dude
it was the dude? His guy was that T Bone.
I don't know what T Bone's real name is. I

(06:21):
forgot about T Bone and corn Pops. Do you think
corn Pop and T Bone ever crossed paths? They're bad dudes.
Although I think Booker eventually admitted that T Bone was
like an amalgamation, now let's say that word wrong whatever,
a collection of former friends that he kind of crafted

(06:42):
a single individual out of and not real. So in
that sense, maybe there's no way corn Pop could have
met him. But that's thinking that corn Pop's real. So,
and I don't know. I mean, it's not that far
from South Jersey to uh, you know, Delaware. So maybe

(07:06):
somebody should ask him, because I'm sure he's gonna be
doing a crap ton of interviews while they all uh,
while they all laud each other. Why is Boston Paul
sending me pictures of beagles? Are you day drinking again?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
What is that? Okay? All right? I don't know what's
going on. I have some questions about a few things
that are going on now. Kyle, you guys, Kyle and
News is not here this week. He's on vacation this week,
so you might have picked up on that. And I

(07:40):
am not familiar with the fill ins that they found
for him, because we run a nationwide market by market
news network within the company obviously, because we have news
talk stations everywhere, So depending on how things are staffed,
you may have somebody's feeling in from a different part

(08:01):
of the country when your local news guy or guys
or gals are gone. And since Kyle's out, that's what
we have. And what's the Bless their heart, this played
this morning. Somebody referenced this yesterday to me, and I

(08:23):
didn't initially know what you were talking about, so I
had to Once I've now figured out what it is,
I've contacted the unnecessary people here this woof all right,
tell me if you can figure out why I may
have just did an oof at this thing. Okay, you ready?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Here we go to the new Bill in North Carolina
is proposing to make The Andy Griffin Show the official
television show of the state. The show, which aired from
nineteen sixty to nineteen sixty eight starred Andy Griffin and
showcase Small Town Life.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
What are we doing? What is is?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Like?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
I think you get don't you get thrown out of
North Carolina for that? You know? They never do this too,
Bobby Graham, they would, they would never. Oh it's Griffith,
it's what what is what?

Speaker 5 (09:16):
It's Andy Griffin and he is of course related to
Kathy Griffin.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
No, don't do that to him. I understand that people
are gonna object politically. Just just cheer a fany Okay,
don't do that to him.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
You're gonna have to put a Kathy Griffin wing in there, right,
Maybe she could present it like like a voice recordingly,
here's my my dad.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I love it, dude. What if it's not Kathy Griffin Griffins.
What if it's the mythical creature Griffins you're with, with
the with the the lion body and the bald eagle
head and the wings and all that, right, Maybe that's
who he's related to.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
It was amazing a Barney Fife could balance on that
thing and fly around Mayberry.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Hey man, you know what they didn't have crime?

Speaker 6 (10:08):
Right?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
No? Why because you'd be committing crime, and what would happen.
A griffin would come in.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
He would pick you up and dump you in the pond. No,
it would eat you, man, and Ron Howard would just
keep fishing.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, that's what he did. It was a simpler time,
it was. And then poor Mountain Airy is now gonna
have to build a giant Griffin statue. All right, go
by where that sonic is kind of towards the middle
of town, that big parking lot there. You just boom,
just five hundred foot tall giant winged lion eagle thing.

(10:41):
It'll change the It'll change the whole makeup of the community. Man.
All right, So I'm gonna make I'm going to make
an educated guess that the fill in newspeople are not
from Uh well, they're clearly not from North Carolina. I
know all of our newspeople, but not from around here. Sorry,
I'll probably get in trouble for teasing them. But it's

(11:03):
it's it's a little funny.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
You think merv Griffin is also gonna have a wing?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh how many the mount area is gonna have to, Like,
they're gonna go bankrupt building these new statues. Man, Yeah,
I think that's Uh, I think that's probably or we
could build the statues in Griffin, Austria, right, go right
to the source. Who was the Vikings used to have
a player. Uh, I mean he still plays, but hey,

(11:33):
he's on like some big medical His name's Griffin. I
remember his first I think it is Everson Everson Griffin.
So perhaps that's what they were talking about. Don't know.
All Right, one more time, just in case you're we're
a little groggy the first time I played it, and
then we'll move on, and uh, I will I will

(11:55):
notify the.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
New bill in North Carolina is proposing to make The
Andy Griffin Show the official television show of the state.
The show, which aired from nineteen sixty to nineteen sixty eight,
starred Andy Griffin and showcase small town life.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
All Right, I have a question, just on the face
of it, and let's assume that the word Griffith is
that replaced. Is there another show that would even compete
with the Andy Grifffith Show for North the official show
of North Carolina? I can't think. I mean, there's clearly
there are shows that are associated with North Carolina. What

(12:31):
was the one when we were in high school in college?
What was the daw Dawson's Creek, right, that's.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
A Dawson's Creek, and One Tree Hill.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
And One Tree Hill were the two big Wilmington ones.
Obviously there was a lot of movies, but as far
as TV shows, I don't know that there's any that
compete on that level. That just is like, you know people,
because you had not only did you have everybody from
Aunt Bee lived in Chatham County, right, didn't she after

(13:04):
the show, she lived her whole life there, right, just
kind of out in them. I don't know, I'm not
an insultant, but you're just kind of out in the
middle of nowhere there, and like the connections are are
are very strong. So yeah, all right, that's enough teasing
the poor fillin newsperson. But yeah, we'll go ahead and
get that, get that handled. So yeah, just the long

(13:28):
preview this morning. But that's okay. Sadly we have lost someone.
We'll tell you who that is coming up here in
just a few minutes. And the remember how I said,
I remember talking the other day and I was like,
you know, Europe over the Marie La Penn thing, and

(13:50):
they're like, well, the US, the UF used to mind
its own business and let us do what we want
to do. The problem is, and I'd love that to
be the case. I just I can't get over the
fact that every time I turn around, some moonbat elected
official or a member of the media or whatever is
romanticizing the way Europe does things. Right, every time a

(14:12):
Republican wins the electoral college but not the popular vote,
we gotta listen to it for a year. Oh, it's
so much better what they're doing, even though you're seeing
what they're doing right now and it almost looks criminal.
Or every right leaning political candidate that gains traction all
of a sudden starts committing procedural crimes all of a

(14:32):
sudden coincidence probably, and so they romanticize and romanticize Europe.
This concept of what San Francisco is setting out to
do is a European thing, and in fact, up in
like there's a few countries, but I think Norway is
the one, or Sweetens, the one with the biggest gap,

(14:58):
and it is a it is a new and different
way of you know, doing uh uh, doing criminal prosecutions,
even when it's administrative stuff like tickets and stuff. It's
what it's it is. It flies in the face of

(15:18):
we are all equal under the law, which is a
basic tenet I I thought, I thought we all agreed on.
I don't agree that it always happens. Let's be abundantly
clear here, you got, you got a few billion dollars
or your famous person, the road might be a little
easier for you if you ever you ever run into

(15:39):
some legal stuff. And for for years there's been an
industry that there's just to push back on that. And
I'm not opposed to that. If if you do the crime,
you should do the time. But then we get into
things where like did you hear over in the UK
where they're going to be doing bond uh, and they
they'll put bond that is cheaper for people of color

(16:01):
than for white people. They said it like, it's like
it's a good thing. So said, I'm not surprised San
Francisco wants to jump in this, but it's a horrible idea.
And uh, it just ignores the basic tenet of this country.
All right, we'll be back. Hang on, what about Gomer
Pyle us you can't make it? I was saying, is
there a show that is more deserving of being the

(16:24):
official state show of North Carolina. Also, why is this
a priority? But it's I guess it's not really because
we just hit the bill filing so we can see
everything that's there. But yeah, and so he comes back
with a spinoff from the show. Not gonna work, Okay,

(16:44):
all right, So going back to this whole quest to
be Europe right where they romanticize Europe. It tends to
be liberal politicians, people upset about electoral college stuff. I
don't know what it is that. Don't get me wrong again.
I like to travel. I've had a lot of fun

(17:04):
traveling in Europe, a lot of fun. Sadly, there's some
places I don't know if I'll ever make it back.
I don't know if I ever go back to Ireland
the direction it's headed right now, which is a shame. Man.
Thought I was of the opinion everyone you go see
Ireland once, it's it's just it's beautiful. It's fun, but
it's not overwhelming. You get to lay in some creepy

(17:27):
dude's lap on top of a castle while you kiss
a rock that's actually under like an eve and you
just laying in some old man's lap, and there's people
lined up all day to lay in that old dude's lap.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
He does have like a little pad, but still.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
And you go do that and like, I don't know, man,
I don't know if I'll ever get back there. It's
just a bit of a shame. So with that in mind,
when you start romanticizing things over in Europe, especially things
like but San San Francisco is doing, you gotta see
if it comports with who we are, because if not,

(18:06):
it erodes the identity of the country. And one of
the things that this country is supposed to be a hallmark.
Doesn't mean it's always achieved, but it should always be
strived for. Is equity under the law. I should say
equality under the law, but specifically the idea that and

(18:29):
again there's a thousand examples where it doesn't necessarily hold up.
But why would we actively work in the opposite direction?
But San Francisco going to San Francisco, listen to this.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
San Francisco is launching a new speed safety pilot program
backed by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, where how much
you pay for a speaking ticket depends on who you are,
and it's all in the name of equity. On its website,
the City Transportation Authority goes out of its way to
it explain that speed safety cameras will be dispersed across

(19:03):
San Francisco in a quote equitable fashion.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
All right, let me let me point this out. So Rosslys,
if you were trying to figure out where you had,
you had you're the mayor, Okay, somebody's God help us.
You got you're the mayor. You're in charge now, and
and you got like fifty speed cameras and you want
to put them around town? What what do you what
do you think you would probably look to as to
where to place the speed cameras if you had to,

(19:29):
you had to pick a spot or spots, what would
what would be the criteria where people are known to speed.
It's a good point. That's not what San Francisco is
talking about. They're like, they're gonna go, well, this is
a white neighborhood where we put two, So let's put
one over in this Hispanic neighborhood and one and that's
what you're gonna get. So right off the jump, you've

(19:53):
already you've already played yourself. Instead of ignoring, you've chosen
now ignore the very base that Ross just pointed out
that normal people think of let's put it where the
problem is. But you remember how many of these stories
we do where they're like, why is there so much
policing in North Charlotte or along what's the road with

(20:15):
all the problems there? Well whatever, and they'll be like, yeah,
if you go to the white neighborhoods, all these things
are going on, and I'm like, some of them are,
but not. It's like, the crime isn't necessarily exist in
these high crime areas regardless of the demographic makeup. It
just is, and you can't, you know, especially when it

(20:35):
comes to like murders and stuff, because I don't know
if you know this, Even in white neighborhoods, they investigate murders.
They tend to tend to look at those Did you
see the inside of that house that insane white woman
was keeping her kid prisoner in who was like what
seventy pounds and he's in his thirties. That looks like
a super quote unquote rich white neighborhood. I don't know

(20:59):
the demographic break down, but like they investigate that stuff.
So right off the bat, you guys are already playing games.

Speaker 7 (21:06):
But it gets worse, but not everyone will have to
pay the same if they get a ticket, get this.
Low income offenders qualify for steep fine discounts guys up
to half off and if you're homeless but speeding in
your vehicle, you can get up to eighty percent discount.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Okay, Well, is that a problem in San Francisco? Do
you have a lot of homeless zipping around in their
supercars like cause of problems? Did I miss some San
Francisco program where you gave all the hoboes Bugattis or something?
And why would I think that? Because do you remember Ross?
Do you remember the tents they bought for them?

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised at your ignorance here. That's
they did do that program where they gave them Bugattis
and the tents were so expensive because you could drive
your Bugatti into it.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Oh, they had lifts like old and then like a
bunch of so that you go in there's just a
bunch of supercars on truckle.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Charges you absolute fool.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yes, that's why the tents were five or eight thousand
or whatever they were tents. They got a six car garage.
Is it ann like an underground driving like you see
some of those La mansions. That's amazing. And look, man,
if you're gonna be out hoboing, and and you know,
you don't want to poop on the same street corner
every day. And if you don't have a car, I

(22:20):
mean there's very few you know, if you gotta go,
there's only so many street corners you can make it
to before the dam burst. So now you hop in
the Lambeau or whatever, and you're off to the special place.
And remember the hobo pool party thing up in Seattle,
right where they had like an ewok village cave tree system,
and then they had they had gotten a pool and

(22:41):
a couch and all that. You don't want to show
when you're showing up. And all those hot mesed out
little skinny chicks are in the pool, right, they want
to roll over on foot? You want to you want
to pull up in your whip man?

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
The girls are like ah shaking, but they're like, oh
look at that. Oh who's that?

Speaker 8 (22:58):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (22:58):
A movie star?

Speaker 4 (22:59):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
And you're like, oh, that's face eater Billy. How face
eater Billy? Get a Bugatti? Oh? Man? Right, you want
the what's the kids turt? What's the term the kids use?
You want to show up with the drip man. You
do it eight. So if you're a hobo you can
speed in I guess whatever, and you get an eighty

(23:23):
percent reduction. Ah, this is the stuff they do over
in like Norway and Finland. And then they write stories.
They had some dude who got a speeding ticket that
was over one hundred thousand dollars a few years ago,
and I remember all the coverage whereas just because he
was a super rich guy. But this is not equality

(23:44):
under the law. This is not what we do in
the US, not at all.

Speaker 7 (23:48):
Jerry, Here's just one of the many problems I have
with this. The reason for this program for the speed
cameras was reportedly because of high injury areas, meaning where
pedestrians have been hit and killed. So, since all lives
are equal, why are we getting discounts on speeding tickets
when everyone should understand how serious it is to drive

(24:10):
safely where people have died.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
I couldn't believe this when I read this, I was like,
is this really true? We are all equal in the
eyes of the law.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Oh, nope, we're not.

Speaker 8 (24:20):
We're not all equal in the eyes of the law. Okay,
so might this get extended eventually. So maybe if I
commit a burglary and I don't have a lot of money,
maybe that's okay, or maybe I get a reduced sentence,
or I just don't understand the logic operating here. I
think we should all be equal in the eyes of
the law, and everybody should pay the same fine sentence. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
I get some bad news for you, though, man, that
already happens. That already happens. Have you not seen the
bail restructuring that they've done in a lot of these places.
Why do you think California? Was you ever the dude
who was involved in not one, but two police chases
and one day and then he got arrested, but it
wasn't a chase in three and you know what in

(25:04):
a day's time, because they kept going, well, you're poor,
and so we're just gonna we're just gonna turn you
back loose. And the guy's like, great, I want to
finish my police chase, so hey, let's do that again.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
I agree with the one thing she said, because listen,
you have jerk speeders and white neighborhoods, and you have
jerk speeders and black neighborhoods. But if you lessen the penalty,
you're gonna have more speeders in that neighborhood. So now
people are just gonna be speeding through the hood.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, there's a story up in New York right now.
I don't have it in the stack, but it reminded
me of this this. They think it's funny because her
job is wig maker, which is it's kind of an
unusual job. But like, but she ended she was speeding
on this road and they were saying that it's like this,
all that people do is speed on this road. It's
super dangerous and she I think she killed two kids. Yeah,

(25:57):
that'd be a good place. Maybe do your speed crackdowns. Right.
I don't know anything about the neighborhood. The homes look
very middle of the road. I don't know who lives there.
But if you have a speeding problem and kids are
getting killed, address that in San Francisco clearly is going
to have place. San Francisco is a weird city to
drive around. I've driven around it, and it's because it
is everything that you see in the movies from a

(26:19):
topography standpoint, right, you're always going up or down a hill,
and not just a little hill. Basically, there's a reason
every great seventies movie, like the Dirty Harry series and
all that, where they're doing, like they love, doing chases
through San Francisco. Inevitably, what happens at some point there's
the scene of one of those you know, those old

(26:40):
cast iron seventy style cars, you know, popping down a
hill and then you hit where the street flattens down,
and all of a sudden you're flying through the air.
Probably there was a whole there were a whole stunt
men group. There was at a stuntman company in San
Francisco that literally that was their jam, just doing car

(27:02):
chases in San Francisco and other stuff man and so
speeding in those situations you can damage your vehicle pretty bad,
and you can cause a wreck, and you can hit
people like these are all concerns that are legitimate concerns,
and of course you're gonna you're gonna screw this whole
thing up so you can feel your being more equitable,

(27:25):
more equitable, which, by the way, that's not equity, right,
What is equity versus equality? Why do we gripe about
it on the show every time? Because equality is opportunity, right,
Equality is opportunity. You guys are gonna have equal opportunity
and it will be up to you so that you succeed.

(27:47):
Equity is equal outcome, so you can't call it an
equity speeding ticket. If there's different outcomes, that's what's so.
That's that's the the icing on the cake of this lunacy,
the cherry on top. It means the exact opposite of
what you named it, which is exactly what I would
expect from the government there in San Francisco. Good job, everybody,

(28:11):
six forty seven hang on. Unfortunately, not a canceling, just
a recognition that he's no longer with us. One of
the dudes from this clip right here, you know, is
the Omo Roddy volleyball team we call it here on

(28:32):
the show. From a top gun has passed away. That
is right, the iceman. Is it just iceman or iceman
or the iceman? I suppose just iceman would be the
appropriate way. Val Kilmur has succumbed. He died of pneumonia,
but obviously you throat cancer. He had some other health
issues throughout the latter part of his life as well,

(28:55):
but they're reporting it was pneumoia. Guys, cowboys, because love
me some valcilm you're everyone's problem.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
That's because every time you go up in the air,
you're unsafe.

Speaker 9 (29:08):
I don't like you because you're dangerous, right, nice man,
I'm a Hukomberra.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
What Johnny Ringo?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
You looked like somebody had just walked over your grave.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
You see, I'm both persuading and Batman.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Not because I have to bend now, because.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
I choose to be.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
All right, favorite Val Kilmer movie. Those are three obviously
pretty big ones there. You have Tombstone and Batman Returns, right, uh,
and of course top gun e. I'm gonna go Tombstone.
And I know some of you guys are gonna disagree
with me on that. If I had to pick between
those three, Ross, what's your favorite Val Kilmer?

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Well, I put that clip together so it would be
those three movies.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Well, I know that's three, but if you not have
to pick one, yeah, right, Tombstone Tombstone. Yeah, I really
I dig that movie. That's why Tombstone an unforgiven. Unforgiven.
It's a better movie than Tombstone in my opinion, but
they're both real top tier. If that thing's on, I'll
watch it.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
It's ridiculous. He didn't win like an Academy Award for
that role.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh it's great, absolutely man doc college. Oh are you
kidding me? Fantastic? I guess him and uh I read
somewhere that him and Kurt Russell would were during the
filming of the movie. We kept giving each other really
morbid gifts, trying to one up and creep out the other.
I'm gonna have to find that story. I remember hearing
that years ago. You know, Val Kilmer did a Yeah,

(30:38):
he did, you know, I like kind of like horror movies.
He did a horror movie and I don't remember the
name of it. I'll have to look it up. It
could it really didn't get a lot of pub and
yet Yeah, So the premise of the movie is he's
a stranger in the small town. Somehow he gets arrested.
He's in this holding cell, it's very small holding cell,
and psychologically he just starts taking apart everyone, all the police.

(31:00):
They bring a doctor in at one point. All of this,
and let's just say, it turns out he's not who
he says he is, and that you get into a
horror element of like a religious horror element. And I
thought was pretty good. But what it required. It required
Kilmer basically to act the whole movie. He had to

(31:22):
almost every scene is exclusively him talking a lot more
because the people are He's creeping out all these people.
And it was very good. So I don't know if
he gets necessarily the credit just to kind of go
off what you were saying there. The dude was a
pretty good actor, even if he was known for a
lot of kind of popcorny movies.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
No, he was a super good, humble guy too, and
like he was a method actor, but not in the
sense where he was a jerk, because some of these
guys who read stories and you're like, you know, they
were super difficult to work with. From everything I've read,
he was a super nice guy.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah. I also like that Saint movie. That was pretty good.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
Oh I saw the saying that theater like two times,
did you.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, that whole storyline with the I mean that was
just classic story and then you know it was just
the evil Russian oligarchs. Like he had all the elements
of that era of movies. Ah, good stuff. Yeah, so
it was he's sixty five.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
The last ten years for him, man, the health wise
is absolutely brutal. Yeah, he wouldn't have nothing.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
To do with the top Gun follow up like Tom
Cruise had too. And he didn't want to. And I
understand why for the same reason that you saw Bruce
Willis stuck away. Right, you deal with health issues and
you don't want to be not you on screen. I
will say, oh that he did post his final his
final Instagram video. There's another actor there with him, Kevin

(32:42):
Cho I think, is with him at his house. I
stopping by, and Kilmer realizes like, this is probably it.
So the last post he ever did, he donned the
Batman mask, put that bad boy on and let's just
say the paint on that thing not holding up. So
it's kind of like almost white now.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
But yeah, okay, see I just scorn say California really
means to stop with this white lives don't matter systemic racism.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Monstense Well Ross made a good point. Actually, what these
knuckleheads don't realize is they probably just protected white people more.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
If you think in spite of themselves, hopefully.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
That's what happened.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Well, it's just like, how about you just if you
have a speeding problem, you go protect where people are
getting hit by speeders. But I just could never make
it in government. Thanks for the call their Janet to
appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah, So if if you're going to
police quote unquote white neighborhoods more and you know, so

(33:49):
equity and you're going to find people who might who
are probably if it's you know, socioeconomically less challenging neighborhood
means people are gonna ge find more which should act
as a deturrent to speed less. And then you're going
to go into a high crime neighborhood or a minority neighborhood,
depending on whatever your equity parameters are. And you basically tell,

(34:13):
you know, some hobo that it's twenty bucks to speed, Well,
that's not a deterrent, so inevitably people don't speed less.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
Right, you're making the quote dangerous neighborhoods more dangerous because
it's going to be more speeding.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah, good job.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
I was thinking about the val Kilmer things more. I'm
really tired of my childhood heroes. Are these people I
loved as like passing away like I would? I would
appreciate it if they could stop that.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well, you just want young actors to know.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
But it's really, man, it's hitting me harder and harder
the older I'm getting, because obviously these celebrities would passing.
But now it's yeah, exactly, but oh it's super weird.
Like Gene Hackman and now Val Kilmer heard that this morning,
I'm like, oh, this sucks, man, I'll just stop it.
I would appreciate it if they would stop it.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
What was that John Cusack Gene Hackman run Away? That
was pretty good. That's thinking about that one the other day.
All right, well, let's let's get some Val Kilmer movies
with some callers here, Yes, Bobby, what's up?

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Hey man?

Speaker 10 (35:10):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
I was just uh telling Roth.

Speaker 10 (35:13):
I wondered if you guys had seen a movie.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Called Fellon, like a convicted Fellon. It has Val Kilmer.
It's a it's a role at the end. When I
saw the credits, I was like, what that was Val Kilmer.
So if you haven't checked it out, you probably should.
It's it's it's really cool.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
I'm just looking it up here felling Okay, I see
someone was Stephen Dorf here is right? Yeah he is, Yeah,
there he is. I don't know if I've seen this movie.
It's a prison drama of some sort locked up for
killing an intruder and self defense. A family man must

(35:53):
cope with life in the penal system. Okay, I don't
know that I've seen it, but uh, it doesn't say
where it's streaming. Oh yeah, it's got a pretty solid
IMDb score too, So all right, well I'll check it out.
Thanks for the recommendation, Bobby, appreciate it. Don't don't forget
about what's that? Don't forget about heat? Oh yeah, no, no, no, absolutely,

(36:13):
that was kind of a that was kind of a bait,
not included to bait callers.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
Well you got me.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
That's a great movie. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll tell
you what was really depressing is I was going through
just for the show. I wanted to refamiliarize myself with
some of Al Kilmer's roles. And so I'm on IMDb
right then scroll through that which, by the way, we
got to talk about something they're doing, and and then

(36:41):
I'm looking at all these movies from you know, that
era that you were just reminiscing about, like we're all
the all the the most popular actors from are just
the generation. And it I happened on this IMDb page
and they have the top ten movies by year just
like going back to the nineteen fifties and I'm sitting
there and like in the eighties and nineties, every year

(37:06):
there's solid five six movies I would that I had
to see.

Speaker 5 (37:12):
Right, just solid awesome.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
I mean yeah, solid, just.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Chuck full of these absolute legends that we were that
are passing away now and it's just sad. And there's
a lot of these movies. I was thinking about this yesterday.
They still hold up because we were watching The Goonies
and the Goonies still holds up, and I'm like, you know,
if they were to I'm trying to figure out why
it still holds up. Like some of these movies are
still like super good. And I was thinking, you know,
if you were to remake a movie like The Goonies today,
they would throw a lot of political stuff, or there

(37:39):
would be political jabs, or there would be a joke
about Trump or something woke about it, and it would
just especially organ yeah, especially exactly start in Portland.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
They'd be all woke. Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
And the thing is with these older movies, if you
were just to show them to somebody today, like a
younger kid or even an older person who had never
seen it before, right, but specifically young kids. So you
show to a younger kid that have never they never
saw the Goonies, and then afterwards you ask them, tell
me what the political climate of the of the country
was during this time in history. They would not be

(38:11):
able to tell you because nothing was in there like that.
There was nothing.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
It was just the movie, you know, where politics was
involved too, right, going back to a global thermal nuclear
war and Whopper and all that.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
I mean, you can look at them like you can
look at it and be like, oh, it's a movie
about you know, the bankers who are trying to take
the house in capitalism. But there's no like Jabs. It's
not like it would be made today. And that's the
big difference.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I think they some of the movies they put. And again,
when's the last year. Let me ask you guys this,
when's the last year that there were a half dozen
movies that were must sees, like you were willing to
go to a theater to do it right, pay those prices,
drag the kids, or or you know, fight somebody at
a blockbuster for the you know the on that Tuesday

(38:53):
when it drops you're sitting there waiting outside, remember Tuesday
lines and Blockbuster for big movies or now not necessarily
Blockbuster or Hollywood or.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
Any Yeah, and it would suck if you go there
to be like, oh, there's my movie and they just
wouldn't have it. They would It would be like the
case without the VHS tape in the back the worn
But streaming and COVID is they've killed the movies. I
think it's streaming and COVID. Uh.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, but if the decline clearly as I was looking
over this list and getting nengratinated, it clearly started earlier
than that, and like you know, pre COVID, but you
could see it getting woker and woker and then you
you know, And I'm not using the oscars. This is
based on revenue. Like a lot of movies nowadays are

(39:40):
such a mental slog I'm not going to do it.
Not because it's complex stuff, because they want to emotionally
manipulate you the whole time, and most of the time
it's for some sort of messaging purpose, and I refuse
to participate.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
You're paying all this money and then they're lecturing you
on top of it.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah, who wants that? I don't want that. I want
fun stuff. As a I was just looking at Ross
andized Brice so I was born in eighty Ross was
born in seventy nine. All right, nineteen eighty Ready the
Shining Raging Bull, Star Wars Empire strikes back, the Blues
Brothers Airplane. Do I need to go on seventy nine
with Ross? Apocalypse? Now Alien Life of Brian. Let's see here,

(40:22):
Kramer v Kramer. If you're into that, that did really well,
but like, we're never going to see this again? Are we?
We're never going to see this again? I think the
closest we might have gotten to it is when they
were churning a couple Marvel movies a year, and then
a couple other decent movies emerged. But we're in a
very different place now. So not only has that era

(40:44):
of movie making died or movie production died, but to
Ross's point, all the people we used to love to
watch are now passing along too. I know every generation
goes through it, but it doesn't make it better. We
need to protect Tom Cruise at all costs. He'll ever die.
I think he got it to enough levels of whatever
with the uh the scientology is probably immortal. He's got it.

(41:10):
He's gotta keep you's gotta pay more money, man.

Speaker 5 (41:12):
He opened the level five hundred briefcase and learned the secrets.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Okay, see that's that's that's what you do. Dude doesn't
seem to age, keeps doing his stunts. I don't know.
Oh all right, oh let's grab this. Yes, Marty, what's up? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (41:28):
Uh calling about Bell Kilmer one of his biggest roles
that everybody fails to mention.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Miller.

Speaker 7 (41:37):
That was one of his best leading roles in the film.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah, that's what was that late eighties right there? I
think check the film.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
That that man forever.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
I remember going the Doors. Yeah, forget about the doors either, right,
oh yeah, the doors. And he's saying that movie too,
that was him singing, right yeah, so yeah, absolutely absolutely
well now I'm just even more depressed just thinking about that.

Speaker 10 (42:05):
So right, that's that's like a childhood film, you.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Know, absolutely all right, appreciate the call, thank you very much.
Oh geez, yeah, I'd forgot about the willow thing.

Speaker 8 (42:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
That's been a while, and I was thinking about what
Ross was saying too on like wait, how they would
have to do the goonies now? And it's like, well,
one sloth would have to be cgi'd, right, you'd have
to see gi sloth now, and then you would have
to hyper focus on how a woman has risen through
the criminal ranks to run her own gang, and that

(42:41):
would end up being most of it. And then you
can't have her lose because now this woman who broke
the glass ceiling on running weird family gangs in uh
in the Pacific Northwest, you can't take that away from her.
And then the sloth CGI would have to happen because
some actor with a facial deformity would be mad that
all the actors with facial deformities only get cast for

(43:02):
roles with facial deformities, and they'd ruin it for everybody,
just like we saw with snow White here about five
minutes ago. Uh, jeez man, that's depressing. All right, hold on,
all right, let me grave this. Yeah, I know my
call screeners acted all weird there. All right, here we go,

(43:22):
Joe Anne, what's up?

Speaker 10 (43:25):
I was just gonna say, Willow too, except if it
was filmed today, they'd be easing CGI and would probably
miss that miss out on the best part in that
whole movie. Who was the guy who played the little
person that Val Kimler was helping to protect.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
To save the baby.

Speaker 10 (43:46):
Yeah, and he was amazing that. That was my first
role that I really loved with vou Kimer.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
He was he was awesome.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Yeah, it's it probably not well. They tried to do Willow.
They just tried to do a show and it did
not go well to the point I think they removed it.
Thanks for the caller, Joanne. Didn't Ross didn't they remove
that Willow show? Literally from streaming? You watched it?

Speaker 5 (44:09):
I forgot all about it.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yep. Yeah, it was last year or something. They tried
to do it and it bombed. And I don't even
know why it bombed. I wish I just didn't care
enough to even look into it. But anyway, all right,
seven nineteen. We get some more calls obviously on this.
We do have a few other things to get to,
like this this this father who needed to go to

(44:33):
a job interview. This is down in Georgia and is
now facing charges for something something that he did so
that he could facilitate going to the job interview. And
we'll debate it coming up next. Hang on CaCO Day
Radio program. I get this email my now sixteen year
old daughter about two years ago, said I wish I

(44:55):
was born in the eighties. You all had the great movies,
great music, had no COVID, yeah, I mean we did
have our own things, clearly, but it was stuff like jarts,
so it's relatively open.

Speaker 5 (45:07):
Mean, we didn't have COVID, but they did scare the
crap out of us about aids, yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
And everywhere and drugs with with the frying pan mare. Yeah.
So like we you know, we had all our own stuff.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
You know.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
The other the other hallmark of movies in the eighties
and nineties is what I call the boobs for no reason.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
I mean, there's always reason for boobs though, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
I agree, I mean just mean from a storyline perspective.
And there's like there's a bunch of eighties movies that
are rated PG that have like full frontal nudity in them.
Beast Master remember the movie Ross Haden doesn't remember this.
I remember because my mom thought, oh, it's rated PG,
and she put us down in front of it, and
she walked in when the two chicks are bathing in
the pond and he's like off to the side with

(45:49):
his animals watching them, and they're just there. You go,
there's everything and she freaked out, and you see then
I had to watch Beasts Master. I must finish this movie, which.

Speaker 5 (45:59):
Right right right in the But did you see this
from gen Z now when they're polled about movies and
they're like, there's no reason for any sex at all,
or any nudity at all, or any boobs at all,
and just take it all out of movies. What happened
to these kids?

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Man? This is what we talked about yesterday. How are
you gen X's kids? I think you have you have
no idea what your parents were up to. I mean,
I'm just gonna got this call real quick, Logan, I
got about a minute, go right ahead.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
Oh yeah, I'll just say you're two great Valkimber comedies
that don't see you know what people talking about. Real
Genius and Top Secret were both really funny to me
at least.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Sure, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, yeah, quick call here on the
Val Kilmer because there's some other stories I got to
get to before we chat with the congressman this morning, Larry,
Thanks for hanging on. What's up, hey, guys.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
There was a great role that Val Kilmer had in
a movie called True Romance, where he was.

Speaker 10 (46:52):
Uh, he played.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
Brief role as Elvis, and that was a movie with
Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette when she was young.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Okay, all right, and then I saw then we mentioned this,
but I saw it on that's written on the callscreader.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
I thought he did a good job playing Jim Morrison
for sure too.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
That was very absolutely he was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah, all right, I'm just getting thanks for the call there, sir,
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be distracted. I'm just
looking at a you know, it was another good Val
Kilber movie. Is Mind Hunters? Have you ever seen that?
That's a pretty good movie. Yeah, there we go, all right,
scrolling too much on that. Let me get over to this.
So by now, because I saw this absolutely everywhere, by

(47:39):
now you've probably seen at least a semblance of this story.
So you have this man. He is down in Georgia
Atlanta area. No, it might be Athens. Actually it doesn't
matter that in Georgia, and so he needs to go
to a job interview. And I hope that this is
a one true story. I'm just because I don't know

(48:02):
that I've seen that confirmed. But I don't see any
pushback either. So the story goes like this. His name
is Chris Lewis. He's twenty four. He has a ten
year old, a six year old, and a one year old.
And he's twenty four. Yes, he had one when he
was one of these kids when he was fourteen or actually,
you know what, I don't. Are they his biological kids,
I don't even know, but it doesn't matter. There are

(48:24):
his kids, Him and his you know, him and the
kid's mom share custody.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
So with that in mind, he doesn't have a car.
So according to the report, he and his three children
left there. It was augusta, A, right, so it's Augusta.
He and his three kids walked from his house, which
isn't very far too like the shopping area where they
have a McDonald's, And it isn't McDonald's. It has one

(48:51):
of the play places still in it, and he reportedly
had a job interview. I guess it was across the
street and kind of like one over is how I
heard it described, which I guess might provide you line
of sight back to the McDonald's. I don't know. So
he walks the three kids into McDonald's. I'm sure he

(49:12):
gets some little something and then proceeds to tell the
ten year old, Hey, you guys play in the play place.
Daddy'll be back in twenty minutes or whatever it is,
however long it takes to the job interview. And so
the kids are just doing kids stuff, right, They're in
the play place having a time. I don't know fully
what a one year old does except sitting the ball
pit and slabber all over the balls, but hey, that's

(49:33):
their jam, Let him do it. And a customer noticed
these kids and was like, where are the parents? And
then conversation started. What they did? You call the police?
And yeah, and so police, the mother came to pick
up the kids and dad got arrested. And I hate this.

(49:59):
I hate I hate that. If you know, if everything
is true here, it looks like dudes just trying to
do the right thing, right. You got three kids. You
got to have a job, man, I get some money flowing,
and you got to feed those kids. You know, kids,
kids ain't cheap. And so if he's out there and
he's trying to get himself a job and he was

(50:21):
unable to, I don't know if he didn't tell the
mom or like she was unable until it became an emergency.
There's some missing parts there, but you know the lens
through which people are seeing this is in the eighties.
No one would have called the police, right, you were
just having this nostalgic discussion.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
You'd have to round up half the parents from the
eighties and throw them in prison. What a fun prison
that would be because lat kids were a thing.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
Yeah. Yeah, my parents were divorced, so I spent I
was eleven when they divorced, just going on twelve, and
I got to tell you, it was a big adjustment
and I ended up having to I mean, I having
to watch my siblings and and my little brother would
have been three or four. So, uh, why do you so,

(51:11):
why do you think people? Is it just generational or
is it because the one kid's won?

Speaker 5 (51:15):
I was thinking if you take the one year old out,
it might be different.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Even in this day and age. And I think the McDonald's.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Matters to You have the management at McDonald's or where
he's working there looking at the situation, and they probably
saw the one year old and maybe that's when they're
you know, they called the cops or whatever.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Yeah, I sound think it was some customer was in
there and she's of course. Yeah. Well, but also look,
I almost don't even blame the customer for going why
why is there a one year old with no parents
in here? But once it was then, you know, once
that they've come, she came to understand that there's a
ten year old. And I don't know the maturity level
of the ten year old either. Some ten year olds

(51:52):
absolutely can watch kids for a few minutes.

Speaker 5 (51:55):
I mean, the dude had a kid when he was fourteen.
I'm not knocking him. If anything, this is a positive
thing because it's ten years later and he's still in
the kids' life. Yeah, and he's trying to provide for him.
So I don't that's what I get.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
I have now.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
This caught the attention of a few celebrity folks. I
think Antonio Brown was the one I saw go viral.
So they're putting together some help for this guy, which
which is great, but also it's like, is this really
the crime of the century? Man? My mom's dead now,
so and I don't know the status of the clerk.

(52:30):
So my mom smoked for a while, and I remember
we were in town. We were at my cousin's house
and my mom is sitting there and it's it's snowing,
and I'm like, I think I'm like eleven or twelve,
and my mom like, I need more cigarettes. And so
there's a gas station about three blocks down the way.

(52:53):
Go down there and then and here's the money. Give
the money to the woman and she'll give you a
brown bag and bring it back here. My mom sent
me to buy digarettes when I was twelve, and the
clerk went along with it. That everybody knew each other.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
It's funny now because that's like super old back then, twelve, Like,
I was thinking about it, and I'm trying to compare
myself and it's super hard for me to compare myself
to my son Lincoln, because he's you know, special needs
and autistic and more on the severe side. But I
was saying, he's gonna be thirteen. But when I was
even ten fifth grade, I was constantly walking by myself
with my friends, going to my friend's house, being alone

(53:25):
in his house, you know, playing around video games for hours,
or playing in the woods in the back, or going
down and playing basketball at the street corner for hours
until the street lights went dim. And now if you're
driving by, I've seen this bunch of times he'll be
driving and you'll see like a younger group of kids,
maybe eight or nine or ten walking down the street.
And the immediate reaction I've seen from people this pointing goes.

(53:46):
Somebody called the cops, what are those kids doing? And
it is It's just different now, it is.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
It is.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
It is one hundred percent different, man. And it's like,
and I saw people reacting and they're like, well with
the oh, well you also have the you know, the
all the all the child trafficking. Okay, well, look, I'm
not saying that child sex trafficking is not a thing,
and I'm not saying that there are not hotspots, but
most of it doesn't look like what you think it is.

Speaker 6 (54:14):
Uh, And.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
They're not just randomly dragging kids off the street. It's
still true that the majority of people or kids who
are abducted are abducted by somebody they know, right, not
random strange because it's just too happenstance. You don't walk
into them. You're not gonna go to McDonald's for lunch
today and be like, I wonder if there's any kids
here that nobody's claimed I can take, right, because it's

(54:37):
you wouldn't do that. You might do that at a
mall or another place like that, but not really. So
I think we also scared ourselves into assuming the child
predators are all around the corner. But to your point, Ross,
and it didn't matter whether it was where I lived,
or if we go visit cousins in California. We'ven't been
visited my cousins who lived in Ojai, California, and we would.

(54:57):
We just get on bikes and we go everywhere in
southern California. We go everywhere. And the only deal was
when it gets dark, your butt's better be home because
they we're gonna come find you and it's not going.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
To go well for you. And think about it. Back then,
no phones, no internet. If something did go wrong.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
You might go to another parent's house and call to
say you got there, but that's it.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
And I was thinking like that actually happened when I
was younger. There was something that happened and I had
to call my parents. And I just knocked on a
stranger store and I said, hey, I need to use
your phone and call my mom.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Yeah, all right, come on in here. Eat this stuff
I just made real quick without you being able to
see it. Yeah, Oh it was fine. It was fine. Man,
I didn't get abd rossd you get abducted and trafficked.

Speaker 5 (55:38):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Oh oh you might have repressed it. I didn't that
I believe. So they were Look, if you're there to
snatch kids, Wyoming's not your spot to go. There's just
nobody who lives there. Right, you're not gonna put up
real numbers steal at kids in Wyoming. Now you got
to go to a populated area, all right, raised agic's
here to talk about the same. Oh well no, this

(56:00):
is the story life. You're neckwoods man. Yeah, this daddy
went to McDonald's, went to a job interview, and now
he's public enemy number one. I feel bad for the guy.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Yeah, we never got McDonald's when I was a kid.
You make the cheese sandwiches, dude, McDonald's and cheese.

Speaker 5 (56:18):
McDonald's was a special thing. It was if Dad pulled
into McDonald's, it was like, oh, this is the best
thing ever.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
And it wasn't even Dad, it was my grandfather and
he would say, we'll go to McDonald's today, and it
was like, you know, it was like, oh, it was
a rare event.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
It really was but we didn't have McDonald's in the
town I grew up until I was in high school,
and so we had to It was so rare that
we got to eat fast food and we didn't have
a Hearty's. But to eat McDonald's, it was only if
we were on our best behavior, and only if we
were on a shopping trip to like Sheridan, which is
like forty mins.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Well, to eat out in general, I mean now it's
about three four nights. It's ridiculous. Yeah, but anyway, did
the same I mean bicycles and if you weren't home,
you gotta help you. Yeah, let's just say that.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
Dude, if your parents found you and they were driving
five miles an hour down the road and you saw
your family car coming, you knew that the next few
days were going to suck for you.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Yes, oh yeah, And well, we weren't really allowed out
of the neighborhood on our bikes, but so was either
neighborhood or right down the street we should call it,
or in the woods behind my cousin's house where we
go back there and just make trails, and you knew.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
When it was time to be home.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Oh yeah, question, yes, exactly. Lighting fires and kind of
almost burned the woods down once. But luckily the log
we started on fire was in the middle of a swamp,
so that kind of saved us.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
Good good. Oh, every I think every young man has
that story. Me and my shooting fire works at the lake.
The wind blew it backwards, and the dam the other
side of the damn caught on fire to the point
where I'm like, we're all going to be in jail.
And then and you can call it God's intervention or
whatever you want, it's starting to rain. Yeah, and we
didn't even yeah, And by the time the one of

(58:08):
the fire guys got out there, it was basically out
and he he like, he berated this so much more
than even my mom did. And nowadays my mom, you know,
a parent would probably sue a guy like that, and
she's like, I'm glad you read you did. You should
have put a foot in your butt. Is I believe
what ye said?

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Coming from a long like, we were all volunteer firefighters
in my family and we were lighting fireworks in the log.
It came back the next day the log was like
burning embers. Whoa good thing, it's here in the middle
of the swamp. And then the fire, for I can't
do that either. You know, the heat's going to be coming,
and today, probably between today and tomorrow the two worst days.

(58:49):
Today a lot of clouds, maybe a sprinkle of rain,
upper sixties to seventy, and then some drizzle and light
rain tomorrow in the morning and then sunshine in the afternoon.
Somehow is not bad with the southwest breeze, warmer load
the eighties. Then close to record territory for Friday and Saturday,
mid uper eighties, maybe ninety. I think the records and
Raleigh are around ninety degrees. To try it a little
bit lower, So as we get closer to those days,

(59:11):
we'll talk more about the records and Sundays still warmf
we get changes next week. Next week will be a
much cooler week. Maybe some showers on Monday, but high's
only in the sixties. Advertise this time of year, are
in the upper sixties.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
Oh real quick. Since everyone else had to answer favorite
Val Kilmer movie.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
It's got to be Top Gun because I don't know
too many other ones besides Batman.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
So have you heard of Tombstone? Are you familiar with
I have? Yes?

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Okay, you remind me tombs I did like Tombstone, but
his character i'd like better in Top Gun.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
How about Heat? Heats good?

Speaker 2 (59:48):
I saw Heat, but I don't really non memorable.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Kilmer's doc Holiday. You think Iceman was better?

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Well, just because it's what I probably saw top Gun more.
I probably only watched Tombstone once or twice.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
All right, all right, all right, you are Huckleberry. Okay,
Barrett to there. What do you think Jeff's answer is
going to be? We can think about that for an
hour now, all right, Well, we'll find out and we'll
chat with the congressman coming up at eight oh five.
Brad Not will join us. A couple other quick stories
to hit you with in this segment. So hang on,
pearl clutching over this, losing their minds how horrible it is.

(01:00:23):
In fact, let me read, because I did repost a
tweet yesterday, and I think the one that I commented
on sums it up rather nicely. Uh did? All right?
So you have you have the CDC, the NIH and

(01:00:46):
a few other a few other departments up there, the
federal government that got their turn in the barrel yesterday.
As here we go, it's from doctor Andrea Love, who
is oh she's head of an NGO, of course she is,

(01:01:07):
or some sort of yeah, no, they're taking research money.
So yes, Immuno Logic and the American LME Disease Foundation
and a science communicator. Okay, all right, so she tweets
yesterday the CDC has literally been gutted today, there's no
need for April fools when reality is a nightmare for
every human on this planet. Thousands fired, entire departments are raised,

(01:01:30):
and then there's a whole thread here, and she arrives
at the point is cruelty? She says, cruelty is the point.
This is not making anyone healthier. You know what's really
cruel right, if we're talking about cruelty, if I could
thring this up, setting back kids learning patterns for in
some cases up to two years, right, decimating test scores,

(01:01:54):
threatening to jail people if they disagree with you, fundamentally
being wrong on and almost either entirely or at least
portions of what were really really big impactful issues that
did things like decimate businesses, you know, people's livelihoods, wanting
people who push back when they would pull people within

(01:02:17):
the federal apparatus, federal health thing. They were the ones
advocating in some instances for people to be literally jailed
or have their kids taken away, or just to be
canceled because it's there. It's dangerous what they're doing. So yeah,
if you're gonna basically get all that wrong and not
care about it and then blame and then call them

(01:02:38):
people reacting to it going well, why am I paying
for this thing that doesn't work? Cruelty when you're the
ones being cruel I don't have sympathy for you. And
I happen to believe that the CDC, if done the
way that we were convinced that it's supposed to happen,
that is probably a I have no problem with that
being part of the federal government. I know somebody would disagree,

(01:03:00):
but I think it speaks to federal protections. Right, we
got some really warm weather coming. We got some nice
weather coming too, So we'll chat with Ray Stagic a
little later on get that set up for you as
you look ahead to your weekend. But now we're gonna
stare northward to the insane asylum that is Washington, d C.
And to help us do it, it's Congressman brad Not.

(01:03:23):
How you doing this morning, sir, it was my thing
working here.

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
He can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Oh, I can hear you now? All right? Wonderful, wonderful.
What you doing this morning?

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
I'm doing great.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I hope you are well. I'm not in the in
whatever weird multiverse thing is going up in DC where
Cory Booker is doing a non that's not a filibuster, right,
because a filibuster is it's a particular bill. So what
was that before we get to some other stuff, what
was that hoping to accomplish? And what has been It

(01:03:58):
does have some impact on the sentence of ability to
conduct business this week? Right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
The easiest ways to explain it case he is. It
was a It was a theatrical act. There was nothing
specific that he was protesting other than sort of everything
that the Republicans are doing, are hoping to do, et cetera. Again,
very very small in the specifics. But he got up

(01:04:26):
and he had the floor. And the rule is, as
long as a member of the Senate is speaking, they
can maintain the floor for as long as they want to.
And you were correct, he was not filibustering any particular
piece of legislation. He just kept the floor and he was.
It was largely an attention grabber. He was seeking to

(01:04:46):
get noticed, and he did. He spoke for I think
twenty four to twenty five hours, and he of course
feels as though he's accomplished something in a mighty way,
which is not the case. But yeah, he was an
act and he got the attention that he wanted. And
now he's he's he's seated the floor and hopefully the
Senate can get on with car business.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
But it's my understanding, he correct me if I'm wrong,
because this is this is what happened with Luna and
Crew yesterday is going to impact your guys' ability, like
now that will yeah yeah, yeah. So so let's kind
of transition over there as well, because it's not just
the thing happening. I don't care about the thing happening.
He's known for this, remember his I Am Spartacus moment.

(01:05:29):
The guy's just weird when he thinks he's winning. With
Corey Buecher on the house side, though, it's a little different.
So what was what Luna and Crewe? Anna Paulina Luna
is a congresswoman from Florida for the listeners, and she
was she's a Republican, but she was astride with Democrats.
Is they wanted a discharge position a petition. Explain why

(01:05:52):
that's different and why House leadership maybe doesn't like it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
Well, you're getting very technical case, but the easiest way
to explain this is essentially Representative Luna paired with Representative
Britney Peterson, who is a Democrat, and a discharge petition
is essentially a procedural tool, a mechanism that is used
within the House, typically by the minority party, and in

(01:06:19):
this instance, it would have allowed a majority to basically
implement a procedural rule or an amendment to how the
House does its business. And the issue that they were
looking to achieve is putting the petition in place that
would allow new mothers and new fathers I believe, maybe
just mothers, but new parents. Let's just say that, yeah,

(01:06:42):
to vote via proxy. And what leadership did is number one.
I believe they're correct here. It's not a matter of preference.
There is there is language in the Constitution that, in
my opinion, requires us to show up to work and
to vote in person.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
There is value to that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
But leadership, rather than have this debate, they want to
keep moving with the president's agenda. They want to keep
moving with the will of the people, things like the
Save Act, which would have precluded foreign nationals from voting
in the US elections. That was on the federal side.
And so they buried a rule to essentially table the

(01:07:23):
discharge petition that Representative Luna was pushing. And unfortunately that
rule did not pass. And so when when that when
that instance occurs, that enables Luna to bring the discharge
petition up and have a basically up or down vote
within two days. And so rather than up in the
court to the up in the House, probably send this

(01:07:46):
in the court, they called off the votes. They will
be trying to attach the discharge petition to something next
week to bring it back up to hopefully vote it
down and then get on with our business.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
Yeah, and I'm a little torn on this thing. And
here's why. Here's why. One, uh, some of you, well
you weren't there yet, but your colleagues were abusing like
that dude who was voting on the boat out on
the yacht right during COVID. I can't remember which member
that was. I mean that that's the insanity people see.
And also I'm going to assume and you can correct
me if I'm wrong. Maybe you guys just sit around

(01:08:20):
twiddling your thumbs all day, But I don't believe that.
It's if you have a new baby and you're still
going to be having to review and understand and read
these things and deal with your staff, that you're probably
gonna have to get childcare. Right, that's the only way
you can be able to do that. So, like I like,
I understand why why the pushback is there. So it's

(01:08:43):
your position that if you want to vote, then you
need to show up, which, by the way, is a
tool that legislative bodies use to push things through sometimes.
I'm thinking of the North Carolina lottery, right, they waited
for a couple of people not to be there, So
is that more the thing? And and I want to
transition to some of the illegal immigrants stuff. But so

(01:09:03):
that's that's your understanding of why the objection from House
leadership is there? Correct?

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
Well, I think I think it could potentially be partially
that's part of it, Casey. But another thing is if
you if you allow members to upend two hundred and
fifty years of precedent where there is language that that
is widely accepted to to support the motion that the
House needs to show up in the chamber and make
their votes in person. Once you allow that to be

(01:09:30):
picked away at regardless of the reason, and you can
make a lot of good reasons. The Pandora's box is
therefore opened. And you know, for two hundred and fifty years,
the House has showed up, we have heard the debate,
we have field of the amendments, and we have voted.
And you know, again, even though it seems legitimate, it

(01:09:53):
seems like it could be worthy of consideration. Once that
box is opened, it's opened, and.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
There is value being in per things like that. That's
for my concern is because let's face it, the Republicans
had a congresswoman in an Alzheimer's treatment facility. Well, and
Joe bisright, Like I just have to say, Joe Bright too, right,
So you know, if it if it delves into that,
it's you know how easy it is to get a
doctor to uh, you know, to doctors shop and get somebody.

(01:10:21):
Oh no, they can't come in, they can't, they can't
make it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Yes, all right, so and I will pay this just
just for consideration. There have been dozens and dozens and
dozens of women who have showed up to work, who
have had families had obligations served violently on both sides
of the aisle. This is just a Again, if I'm
being perfectly honest, I think it's a mechanism in some
ways for members to get some FaceTime with the media

(01:10:45):
and to get some some publicity, et cetera. And it's
disrupting and my finny, the more serious things and be considering, and.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Then you can bring your baby in and disrupt the
entire proceedings like that one chick did.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
So the kind of delpaphy of the argument.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
Yeah, yeah, not that long ago, all right, So now
it hampers you guys getting down the business. And I'm
going to be honest, what I hear from my listeners
is they wish you guys were doing more business. Obviously, Trump,
there are one thousand miles an hour, so maybe just comparably,
it looks like you aren't getting anything done. You had
a crazy idea that maybe we should charge illegal immigrants

(01:11:22):
who do illegal things with crimes. Why did nobody think
of that before? So talk about what you're working on
and how what's going on in the house right now
maybe impacts your ability to do that, that's.

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
A great question. As a prosecutor, he worked all over
the country. One of my greatest frustrations, My greatest frustrations
was that there was no separate category for repeat illegal
immigrant criminals. Right, so people who come back into the
country after having them deported, and the current law casey

(01:11:55):
basically caps terms of imprisonment at twenty four months for
re entry, and for me personally, that's a very gross
under service for the American people. If someone has committed
a crime, they've been convicted of a crime while being
here illegally, and they're deported once they come back here

(01:12:15):
a second time illegally, there should be an expedited process
to charge them with illegal re entry after having already
been convicted, and a more serious disincentive for them returning
to the country. I had people that I prosecuted that
had been deported up to ten times, sometimes more than that,
and again the whole net of incentives were in the

(01:12:39):
illegal immigrants favor. So what I'm working on is to
just to break down that incentive and incentive people to
want who want to come to the United States, incentivize
people to come to the United States legally, and there's
basically two components here. One, if you're here illegally, you
know it, you know you came outside the law, and

(01:13:00):
if you commit any felony state or federal, you should
be punished severely. And what my proposal is going to
put forward is somewhere along the lines of five years minimum.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Up to life.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
So if you get convicted of a DUI and it
rises to a felony, if you steal ten thousand dollars
with the stuff, if you sell drugs, whatever it may be,
that predicate offense will qualify you to five years to life. Secondly,
if you commit a felony, you get convicted of a
felony and you're deported, you cannot come back, right, you
cannot come back illegally, and if you do that automatically

(01:13:35):
will qualify you to a ten year minimum in federal jail.
And it sounds harsh, but again I will say there
has to be a disincentive for people who are attempted
to come back to this country. We have a one
hundred thousand people that are being killed every year from
overdose deaths. We have billions of dollars that are being
levied on hospitals, on schools on transportation networks because of

(01:13:59):
the illegal immigrants. We have criminal gangs in the United
States who are being just incredibly strengthened because of what's
crossing the border.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
Whether it be.

Speaker 4 (01:14:08):
Manpower, whether it be firearms, whether it be controlled substances,
whether it be cash, whatever it is, criminals here are
being strengthened by illegal immigrants coming into the United States.
And frankly, our tolerance is over. We have we have
run the course here. We have wasted hundreds of billions
of dollars on illegal immigrants. Our local law enforcement is strained,

(01:14:30):
and we have to change the law to basically send
the message if you come here illegally and you roll
the dice, you're going to pay a heavy, heavy price.
And so we're working on the on the language. We're
getting everything drafted tight to basically have a stair step
and to be as efficient and as appellate proof as
we can make it. And you know, the law, like

(01:14:53):
I said, as it currently stands, I would I would
be looking at someone from an investigative standpoint who had
been deported five times. I knew that they were here
to sell nothing better mean heroin, fentanel, whatever they were doing.
But because the law only allowed me to sentence them
to two years at the most, there was no disincentive.
I couldn't I couldn't arrest them. That was not a

(01:15:15):
deterrent to anybody. And so because of that, we had
to deploy millions of dollars to investigate, to gather residents,
et cetera, flesh them out as though they were an
American citizen. And that that's something that just you know,
we need, we need to rectify that and do it quickly.

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
Oh you know what, this is great. You just reminded
me of something, and you are the perfect person to
answer this, because, like everything else, there is misrepresentation on
what the other side's working on. Right. It's just it's
a whole mark of politics. Like I've heard it represented
that you want those penalties for just people who just
entered and didn't commit a crime. So I'm glad that
you pointed out that we're talking about we're talking about

(01:15:51):
like three things you have to do to get here,
three conscious decisions. The second one is this idea that
the entire way in which somebody has identified as a
gang member is by looking at one tattoo is absurd.
It's like, I'm sorry, right, So explain if you or
your office back in the day, we're trying to determine

(01:16:12):
if somebody was a member of gangs, which we do
this with criminals when we put them in jails. Well,
the first things that jail intake officers do. They're not
just looking at tattoos. What's the process if you're prosecuting
a guy and you want to be sure they're an
MS thirteen member, how do you go about that?

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Yeah, there's a very wide variety of ways to validate somebody,
ranging from the primitive to the sophisticated. And if there
is a Western hemisphere our country, in the Western hemisphere,
and some even in Eastern Europe and the Asian theater
as well, there actually is information sharing. There's database sharing
their governments like in South America, for instance, ICE, the

(01:16:52):
federal government, whatever law enforcement agency we were using DEA
at f FBI, they had very established inroads where they
could actually say, you know, this is here in the
United States, you all have a criminal record on this
person back home, and very often the gang activity, the affiliations,
et cetera would flow in from foreign databases. Secondly, when

(01:17:13):
you investigate these groups, there's a myriad of ways to
validate them. Yes, body markings can be one factor, but
also evidence gathered. Right, So you do a big takedown
of twenty five people and you get two cooperators out
of that group. There are databases that record and keep
the statements provided by individuals who they name that are

(01:17:35):
in the gang. And of course that's validated again with
criminal activity, with social media posts, interactions with local law enforcement,
things that are usually kept in the law enforcement vault,
so to speak. So there's a myriad of ways through
information sharing, whether it's state to state, country to country,
agency to department. That is, it's a layered approach to

(01:17:59):
validate and or to verify validation in gangs. And here's
the thing, Casey, when we would validate someone, the only
time that they would say I'm not in that gang
is that sentence thing, right that they would never they
would never refute it. They would never refute it because
it was so air tight. They would only get before
a judge and then they would say, well, actually, I'm

(01:18:20):
not in the gang. They would never do it on
the front end. It was always once you got on
before court to sentence them, and but I never had
an issue where there was someone who was miss validated,
who was mislabeled as in a gang that they when
they really were not.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
They're making it sound like they're they're shipping people who
have one of the claimed it was a tattoo from
a soccer team. And I'm like, here's the deal. If
you if you're in a gang area and you're wearing
a mark of the gang and you're not in the gang,
that's going to go poorly for you. That's going to
go poorly. Unfortunately, Congress, when I'm out of time here,
I was going to ask you about the lifting thing,
but it looks like they're gonna the Bondi's taking care

(01:18:57):
of that this week, so we'll see. But yeah, all right, okay,
thank you so much. Yeah, absolutely, and we're gonna be
chatting every couple of weeks, just letting the audience know,
so keep us up to speak. Okay, all right, thank you,
all right, thank you. All right, there you go, Congressman
Brad not joining us here on the CaCO Day radio program.

(01:19:18):
All right, we'll take a break. We got some news
for you and a few more stories hang on. A
new study says that confirms that women have better hearing
than men. Actually it's not, and it's by two decibels
on average, which is not insignificant. Do you believe that?
I think every guy who's ever dated a woman or
been married believes it.

Speaker 5 (01:19:38):
I completely believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
Mark.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
He's like, are you listening like I thought I was?

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
Did she shame you for it?

Speaker 4 (01:19:47):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:19:47):
I mean it gets frustrated. I'm sure, yeah I thought it,
but I know. But first off, we're different anyway because
we've worn headphones most of our adult life. Right at
every radio guy. Yeah, so yeah, it's it's already sort
of shot anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
M hm. So yeah, I don't think that's what she means.
When are you listening? I don't think it's a decibel question.
I think it's the part where she asked you to
take the trash out twice, or that's what women will
tell you. I don't know. Plus how many how many
guys you ever been somewhere you talking to one of
your bros. And you get real quiet, and somehow she
still hears it because she's spine.

Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
Probably I can tell you who has really good hearing. Yeah,
that would be my kid. Oh yeah, yeah, you with
Lincoln with his autism, and it's one of those things.
The new thing is we'll be sitting on the couch
and he'll just go, fire truck. I go, what fire truck,
fire truck, fire truck, or like we do a fire truck,
and he'll put his hands over his ears. Fire truck,
fire truck. There's no fire truck. Five minutes later, five

(01:20:45):
not one, not thirty seconds, five minutes later, the fire
truck will hear it. And people are like, how come
you know he freaks out if someone knocks in the door,
if the microwave goes off, or if the dryer. I
don't know, because maybe to him it sounds like an airhorn. Yeah,
it's pretty loud.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Look, we already know that kids, just kids in general, right,
not even getting into the reaction that your son has
have a very different hearing range, which is you like
you ever see those those subsonic noise makers they put
out front of covenience stores where they don't want teenagers gathering.

Speaker 5 (01:21:20):
Yeah, because only they can hear that specifically.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
They can hear that range. Yeah, and so they'll, uh,
they'll hit them with that, so they get annoyed. But
if you can defeat it with earbuds. I don't know
that they care, but yeah, I totally believe that. And
I just dawned upon me. Do you realize how many
mass shootings your son's probably been a part of. Under
the new standards, you probably probably hears them all. Yeah, yeah,
there is an in do I guta. We got to

(01:21:42):
get into this real quick. This is from CBS, who
the headline is the way twitch he wrote it. CBS
blows last shred of credibility. All right, So look, whenever
we talk about mass shootings, Uh, it's it's one of
those It's one of those statistics that get manipulated by
the media a lot. There's not really there is kind

(01:22:04):
of a standardized thing where I think, for the purpose
of the federal government, it has to involve the death
or injury of at least four people as a result
of it. I've seen somewhere it's two, But four is
the number I most hear off I hear most often.
But CBS has so tweaked the metrics so that they

(01:22:27):
could write this headline. This is CBS's headline. One out
of every fifteen American adults have been at a mass shooting,
according to a new study by the University of Colorado.
Does that pass before I explain their methodology? Does that
pass the smell test?

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
To you?

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
Ross, we got more than fifteen people that work for
iHeart in Raleigh, and I don't have any of Have
any of them been in a mass shooting?

Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
Now the way that I imagine are defining amass shooting?
I would say no, like I would say I've never
been a part of one.

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
You've never been a part of one. So how how
did they arrive at that number? Is the question? One?
In fifteen? Well, this is why I tell you you
got to get down with the methodology on these things.
So all right, So, how in the world could they
throw this thing out there? Because it's a very very

(01:23:24):
broad definition. This is propaganda one oh one here, and
I'm not surprised it emerge out of Boulder, which I
is just lunatic central over there. All right, So they've
expanded the scopes of what qualifies. So under the criteria,
if you even if you did not hear it, but

(01:23:45):
we're in a pre defined range of that you could
possibly hear it happening. It could And by the way,
for anyone who shot guns, depending on where you are,
like if when I go elk hunting, and if it
was like the first day of rifle season for elk hunting,
You're sitting there in the mountains. You'll never see another person,

(01:24:07):
but you'll hear gunshots, and you don't realize those gun
shots could be fifteen miles away, twenty miles away, just
because of the echo you get in a mountain right there. Arguably,
if it was quiet enough from the Raleigh studios, if
we were like on the roof or whatever the building,
and what happened in Headingham happened feasibly, you should be

(01:24:27):
able to hear it if it's quiet, if you know
it depends on the time of the day. Does that
mean you were at a mass shooting? Of course it doesn't.
If you hear gun shots, you're And I want you
to remember what is what are the majority of mass
shootings under that qualification, probably range, but the number of

(01:24:48):
people injured where are what is mostly the story in
a mass shooting? That's part of that.

Speaker 5 (01:24:53):
Probably gaging stuff like a drive by.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Absolutely doesn't have to be a dry by, but just
something that happen where Do those things happen predominantly in
very populated areas right south Chicago. You know, they're good
gazillion people. There's what eight million that live in what
they call Chicago Land there, So you're gonna have a
much higher propensity that if you have a shooting where

(01:25:18):
you know, some guy goes by and he's like, hey,
those are those guys from the other dang, and then
fire part popping shots kills one injures three. Now that's
a mass shooting. How many potentially hundreds of thousands of
people are going to fit into this weird dynamic that
University of Colorado's created, not just people who heard it,
like a block away going is that gunshots? What's going

(01:25:39):
on there? The hell's going on? I'll tell you man.
I was sitting I stayed at the hotel that I
stayed at those two nights in magazine before I went
up to the Volcano stuff that I did. I was up.
It's the highest hotel. It's it's called the Las Antenta,
which just means the seventy h and you know Lorelis,

(01:26:00):
which is what I guess. It's a pretty safe area
in Metagine, right. I thought of tourists, you know, American hotels,
nice stuff. And I was sitting there on my balcony
with you know, had a couple buddies on this. We're
just sitting there drinking beer because I got the bigger balcony.
I got upgraded, thank you Marriott. And I'm sitting there

(01:26:21):
and if like across the city and Metazine has like
three million people in it, and every night over in
what you would consider the barrios that are literally called
they are literally named after Pablo Escobar. Gunshots. Man just
gunshot at palooza And I'm I'm fifteen miles and Metagine

(01:26:42):
is a huge city. It's not quiet, and yet you
could hear these gunshots. I was not part of whatever
shooting incident happened over there, and apparently you were, though, right,
I guess I am. I don't even know what happened,
how many people got hit, But.

Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
By those standards, yeah, I mean, because we've had gunshots
before in wake Forest, where we've been like what was that.
Our neighbor has been like a her gunshots. That's definitely
happened where the place were involved, like a block away.
But no, I wouldn't say it was in a mass shooting.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:27:05):
When you think of a mass shooting, you think of
somebody using a gun to murder multiple people.

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
Well, and again that part of it they do. They
do go with the four or injured or murdered. But
the absurdity that if you and you don't even again,
you don't even have to hear it. They then would define,
all right, this person shot a forty five right, this
type of gun. And so what they did is they
built parameters on how far that sound should travel, attempting

(01:27:30):
to mitigate nothing. Right, So if I want to did
a mass shooting next to a jet engine, people on
the plane may not hear it. Do you know what
I'm saying? That's absurd. If I do it in that
mountain elk hunting setting that I was just talking about,
dudes in dudes in another county could hear it, just

(01:27:51):
because the echoing you get when you fire a high
powered rifle in a mountain situation where it's so quiet
and echoing. So it was CBS is running with this
story today. I just wanted to be abundantly clear. But
now one in fifteen people can get into Harvard, So
there's that.

Speaker 5 (01:28:09):
Yeah, they're just cherry picking to push an agenda.

Speaker 1 (01:28:11):
Absolutely, one hundred percent, So pay no mind to this.
It's absurd. Unless you honestly believe one in fifteen people
have been part of a mass shooting. That's just not
the case. Okay, all right, well you decide based on
those parameters, and you can read the article. We'll tweet
it out, all right. Eight forty four race staging from

(01:28:32):
the Weather Channel. Alrighty, so you gonna flirt with nineties?
Is this really gonna happen? Yeah? I think so. Why
Ross is going to the mountains, He's making the right decision,
smart guy.

Speaker 5 (01:28:42):
Right, They'll be warm there, but.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Not as warm still, maybe eighty five ish until well
it's not quite humid yet, so you bright it away
with it. But yeah, but you know, it's really a
pattern that looks more like summertime. Got a big burver,
get a high off east coast, and that's actually gonna
keep all the rain and the bad storms away from us.
There's going to be a flood risk and a high
flood risk out across parts of the Sunner Ohio Valley,

(01:29:06):
Tennessee Valley, and a severe weather risk today actually a
high risk before long track strong tornadoes too. So that's
all going to stay away from us the next several days.
A lot of overcasts today upper sixties, maybe seventy in spots,
passing light rain shower.

Speaker 1 (01:29:21):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Really not worried about rain today or tonight. Maybe a
little drizzle or light rain around through Tomorrow morning and
then sunshine pretty good looking Thursday afternoon, load to mid
eighties and a southwest breeze and mild even at night
as we come to the mid upper sixties by Friday morning.
That's the average highs for this time of year, and
then that's going to push us close to ninety by
Friday afternoon. So we're probably eighty five to ninety from

(01:29:43):
Triad and through the Triangle for Friday, Saturday, and maybe
even Sunday, depending on what time the showers get here.
So Marshall, sunshines, I won't be mostly sunny, so that
sun's not beating down on you. But you know that
March sun angles start to feel pretty strong out there too,
So if you are going to be outdoors and get
burn easily, yeah, may want to already start thinking about sunscreen.

Speaker 1 (01:30:03):
Picking on me. Yeah, Well, you know, Irish, is that
what's going could be?

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
It could be yeah, and then next week some cooler weather,
maybe below normal temperatures starting about Tuesday, and would be
surprised if you're previously mentioned mountains. Next week toward midweek
actually see some colder air, and depending on the timing
of that cold air, maybe some snowflakes. So yeah, there's
a chance. If I'm calling it today, there's a chance

(01:30:30):
higher elevations to the west and especially north.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
You guys gonna get persons signed? Or is that just
falling down? Yeah, that's done. I mean the rest of
the teams.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
So I have like one or two superstars and the
rest of the team's mediocre. I say trade them all,
start over.

Speaker 1 (01:30:45):
Oh I'll burn it down.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
All right, That's where I'm at.

Speaker 1 (01:30:48):
Okay, all right, thank you appreciate it, and we'll come
back next with Jeff Boneser.

Speaker 9 (01:30:53):
Hang on, Well, good morning, casey. Investors, economists, and the
American people. Get the word on new tariffs President Trump
later today. The President refers to the levies as reciprocal tariffs.
Its hope he'll explain just what that means. Its reported
details of the tariff plan had not been finalized. As
of late yesterday. Stock Market Future suggests investors are still

(01:31:16):
nervous about tariffs. The Dow futures are down three hundred
eighteen points.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
At the moment, concerns.

Speaker 9 (01:31:21):
About tariffs did build a fire under a lot of
car shoppers. The automakers reported stronger first quarter sales as
customers moved to complete deals ahead of possible price increases.
Some video game fans are looking forward to a preview
of Nintendo's switch to gaming console that's going to be
released to some time this year. A live stream presentation

(01:31:43):
is planned for just a few minutes from now, with
Nintendo providing a clearer look at the new console. Pace
of hiring by companies picked up last month. ADPs as
one hundred fifty five thousand workers were added to private
payrolls in March, and that's more than expected. Employers added
to eighty four thousand jobs in February. Looking away down

(01:32:04):
the road, the National Football League announced that Amazon's Prime
Video will get to stream one football game on Christmas Day.
Netflix will have two games. That's the same as last year.
Variety notes this is not a special deal for Amazon.
Prime already had the rights to Thursday Night football, and
Christmas just happens to fall on a Thursday this year.

(01:32:24):
Beginning next month, Domino's Pizza will start accepting orders through
door Dash this ends Uber Eats exclusive deal is Domino's
delivery service, and case a developer in Brazil is planning
to build the tallest residential tower in the world. Potential
buyers will have to be really rich and really love
high rise living. This tower will have one hundred and

(01:32:45):
fifty seven floors and top out at nearly eighteen hundred feet.

Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
Casey, yeah, no, thank you, not for me. Hey, just
because everyone's getting told today, what was your favorite Val
Kilmer movie? The actor has passed.

Speaker 9 (01:33:02):
There, Jeff, Yeah, I'm trying to find I'm just trying
trying to think. I saw saw him in one of
the Batman movies. I don't don't really recall.

Speaker 1 (01:33:10):
The top Gun, Top Gun.

Speaker 9 (01:33:13):
Yeah I did see that, so yeah, those those good choices.

Speaker 1 (01:33:17):
He also played Jim Morrison in The Doors. I know
you like music.

Speaker 5 (01:33:20):
I do like music.

Speaker 1 (01:33:21):
Didn't see that one though.

Speaker 9 (01:33:23):
I'm not a obviously you you if you've unearthed the
fact that I'm not a big, big moviegoer.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
But no, but I mean those are some big movies.
Oh yeah, absolutely, all right, Well appreciate it. Okay, yeah,
the up day, thank you, sir. Okay, t see Ross
and I were betting he'd seen the Doors because music movie.
So I thought it was a pretty good theory. Top gun,
he did see it, so I saw somebody somebody on

(01:33:50):
Twitter was saying he didn't, so all right, And then
I left a few off the list there obviously, Uh,
let me flip back here. Sorry, I'm a little distracted
on something. There isn't a There was an amazing moment yesterday.
So here's the deal. When it comes to people chasing
members of Congress around in those tunnels to the elevator

(01:34:13):
and screaming at them for stuff, it has been so
astroturfed that my default assumption is that person is not
just a regular Joe or Jane, right. My assumption is
they are doing so as part of an organized political protest,

(01:34:34):
but a non disclosed one they're part of, perhaps some
sort of organization or group, or they're just simply not
who they say they are. That's and that's largely thanks
to groups like Code Pink and others who have made
this kind of their thing. So I will always take
a wait and see. So this guy was chasing Senator

(01:34:55):
Banks around yesterday and screaming at him because he said
he was an age employee, lost his job, and then
Banks gets on an elevator. They can't. You can't get
on the elevator with them. And it's that moment where
where that's closing and they're still talking, and at the
moment he says the word clown, the elevator doors closed.

(01:35:17):
It's kind of amazing. Listen to this. I was there
working at HHS. I was fired illegally on February fourteenth.

Speaker 7 (01:35:24):
Are there many people who are not getting social service programs,
especially people with disabilities?

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
Are you going to do anything to stop what's happening?
You probably deserved it. I deserved it. I deserved it. Wow. Yeah,
that's great to hear. Why Why did I deserve it?
Because you seem like a clown. You shouldn't have said that. Oh,
you shouldn't have said that, right, Okay, Look, here's the deal.
What is not disclosed is he has been following him around.

(01:35:52):
I guess he was. He was harassing him and others
for hours. And again I don't know the guy's story,
but the fact that he they had all the camp
was out, and then they kept asking the same question
over and over, and I guess he had gotten an
answer kind of prior to that. Then I'm like, I
don't know if I believe you, sir.

Speaker 5 (01:36:10):
It's not normal behavior, and you seem like a lunatic, yeah,
or a clown perhaps,
