It is the final day, oh April, so then we move, uh
move into the best month of the year. So may big fan of that.
And uh, you know, it's it's been a month. It's been
from a news cycle, been kind of crazy. This is more and and
by the way, the insanity is not over yesterday. I'm talking. We'll
obviously get into uh some more, but all of it's serious to some extent,
but we will get into what transpired in Charlotte yesterday. I sat here
listening to the entirety of the radio traffic and it's just just insane. And
then to watch and then to watch really where everyone decided to go politically with
it. It didn't surprise me, but at all always disappoints I guess it'd
be the best way to say it. So we'll get into details there on
the crazy this front, watching what continues to like I figured the university officials
would be like, all right, we had you know, we we had,
we had the weekend, let's quit this crap. And in some cases,
yeah, I don't know if you saw this yesterday Virginia Commonwealth, which
is up in Richmond, right or just outside Richmond, and that went bonkers
and kudos. It looks like they had decided, no, we're not gonna
We're not gonna have this. But not before there were literal, you know,
a little mini riots going on there, bottles and stuff being thrown at
law enforcement and students being assaulted. You continue to see videos of anytime there's
a tactic that they're allowed to get away with, it then gets in gets
on steroids because it's about annoying. So first it was like, oh,
you're you're you're a Jewish student, you need to walk around the quad.
And then they figured out that they could basically post up at the entrances to
the buildings, right because students will be like, well, I'm I need
to go to you know, whatever hall that is, and they're like,
well, then you have to walk around the long way Jewish person or Zionist
or whatever they're screaming at him. And and then they realized, well they
could post up on the main entrances, so they could essentially force whoever they
wanted to make a point to to then have to seek out you know,
the like the custodial entrance or or or whatever it is. And then the
university just sit there and do nothing, nothing, or they kind of they
make little fake deadlines that everyone ignores and has now in the case of Columbia,
who said, all right, we're not gonna get the cops involved anymore,
and we got an agreement, and you know, everything's gonna be fine.
And then you know, we have a deadline where they're supposed to leave,
and then they just keep ignoring it, and you never do anything.
And now you've literally they've taken one of your buildings. But don't worry,
it's just your see here administrative building, which I think is important. I'm
not in college currently, so I don't know, but I feel like the
administrative building was a big deal back in my day. But that's just me.
So you know, that continues to fester. That's not going to go
anywhere. Around the time they were expecting to clear, which was two o'clock
yesterday afternoon, a group of staff clad in orange like road worker outfits came
out and locked arms and solidarity surrounding the the demonstrators. So you can't do
anything. That's that's a big chunkier staff. They're all in it to not
accomplish a damn thing other than cosplay, LARPing or or or whatever it is.
For most of them, it's just it's just wild to me. Don't
worry. The media is here for it too. What is I want to
read this La Times headline. I want to make sure they didn't change it.
I was screen now now I'm so paranoid when I see stuff like some
headline where I'm like, I cannot believe that's what you went with. I
don't just take the link, and so I do. I take the link
and send it to Ross. But in this case, it was after I'd
already set prep that I saw it. But I also now I just screenshot
everything. I have so many screenshots on just chilling on my phone right now
that I never had to go back and utilize. But way too often,
way too often we find ourselves where a of course, correction has taken place.
So La Times, right, you have UCLA doing their thing, USC
doing their thing. Cal was No, it wasn't cal Poly Pomonent. It
was cal Poly Humboldt, which are in opposin ends of the state, but
one of the cow Poly schools, and you know other skirmishes there going on
where That's what I was telling you about. Remember the students who were posting
up outside different buildings to really make it as difficult as possible for others to
get in there. Well, that's in southern California. So what does the
LA Times bust out with. Well, well, the LA Times decides that
they need to invoke the memory of Kent State. Oh yeah, here we
go. This is the title of the column calling the police on campus protests
show that college presidents haven't learned a thing since the nineteen sixties. Kind of
like, I kind of you get what your you know, what you're referencing
obviously with the Kent State, but if you go into it deeper, they
have uh you know, they start evoking some civil rights stuff in there,
and uh, I don't know, I kind of feel like one trying to
compare whatever this is too civil rights era here in the United States, which
dealt with the United States. And also, you can't always go to Kent
State. You don't have to be somebody who justifies what happened there to also
be able to recognize that politicians, law enforcement and others have been wholly able
to deal with these in the past. In fact, ironically, this this
newspaper operates in the state of California, in Los Angeles and one of the
I think bigest examples also from the era, by the way that their butt
heurd over right getting into the Vietnam War era Kent State stuff. Reagan dealt
with this in California throughout Reagan, Reagan dealt with it was core hubbed out
of Berkeley. This was in what sixty seven, sixty eight, where yeah,
no, here we go, yeah and okay, so it was a
six. It was his sixty six campaign for governor, during which Reagan promised
to quote clean up the mess at Berkeley was referring to just ramp and unrest
and protests there in Berkeley, obviously Vietnam War era stuff, and as well
as other campuses. He made this as a promise. You had students and
faculty who were engaged in protests and nobody was engaged in learning, and there
was there was a lot this is there's a there's a whole lot going on
here. But the skinny of it is is Reagan took office in nineteen sixty
seven. He wrote a letter to the chancellor of San Francisco State College that
was at the time one of the largest institutions there, and basically went off
on the activism, the liberal activism on campuses, and he demanded that this
dude lay down rules of conduct, promising they'd have all the backing I could
give you, all right, And you know, from there he Reagan,
dump Key and a few others were able to actually restore order and actually restore
learning. And they didn't do so in a way. And you don't know,
they weren't out there shooting students or any of that. Yes, they
were arresting some of them, but mostly they were doing a lot of siege
stuff. Like so what do I mean by siege? Okay, so let's
take the the the cabal of moon bats that are sitting there in the middle
of the commons there at UCLA, making any students who with the Jewish features
walk all the way around, or pretty much anyone who won't pledge solidarity,
to be honest, surround them. Everyone's free to leave. I want to
point this out. Okay, this is this is this is how a siege
works. Surround them, everyone's except in this case when they do leave,
they're generally not then captured or killed. You know, we're not quite going
old biblical sieges. We'll go modern day instead. As they leave, you
can You can either and this would not be my choice. You can either
say all right, go ahead and then restrict people that access to come back,
or two, as they leave, figure out who they are and compare
it to video that you have of people constantly committing crimes, from vandalizing stuff
to taking a hammer like the like they did at Columbia last night, to
break into the administrative building, smash out all the security in the windows,
which why would you not have that building a little fortified? I don't understand,
but whatever, and get their names then and there, and they'll scream
bloody murder. They will use the same logic that that whack job tampon girl
used, right, I just there, won't let me change out my feminine
product? Really? Or is it if you leave because you've illegally entered at
office? Remember a bunch of these idiots were charged for assaulting security staff for
this exact item. There will be consequences. These are consequences that you brought
upon yourself, and you're more than welcome to go change all of your feminine
stuff. But there'll also be consequences, which could be as simple as just
hey, we're gonna get your information. O what you're saying. You're saying,
well, you know, do they have do they have the ability to
identify or not identify? I'm leaving I'm leaving open the possibility that in many
cases they do, based on specific video and probable cause that may exist.
But I also hold open the possibility that legally they may not be able to
in all instances. However, if they're for the purpose of trespassing them and
at the university's had the stones to do that, that generally will give you
a wider ability to at the very least find out who you're dealing with.
But if you don't want to, just let them leave, fine. But
eventually they run out of water, they run out of food, they run
out of potties, they run out of you know, mommy giving them a
hug, telling them what a great job they're doing, or you know,
whatever they crave. This is immensely solvable. And yet once again, on
a Monday, it was supposed to be a lazy Monday night. Continue to
pick up steam and here we are, all right six nineteen Kco Day Radio
program Hang on phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Glad to have you along, all right, we got a few things
going on, and you know what, you know, it's really five Sorry,
Russ had mentioned something off the air, and I tweeted this out yesterday.
So somebody, somebody basically has funded the construction of a giant like you
know, if you get to like a music festival or concert or something,
or a sporting event where you had the big outdoor jumbo tron thing. Somebody
put one of those up right across from the UCLA protests. And it's just
October seventh, that video the infamous cobbling together the videos that they were showing
journalists right where they the IDF had put together basically this, I know,
it's about forty five minutes or an hour. And then my Twitter feed was
just green in the face journalists who had watched this because it's horrendous. And
I'm sure if that's something that you you will do because you want to understand
stuff. It is very easy to find on social media just some of the
more horrific moments there. And somebody put that in a loop across the street
from the UCLA students. Yeah, which is absolute genius, Which is great.
They should know what they're protesting for. Well of peace, and love
is right now, I would say more they're protesting for, I don't know,
the decapitation of babies and the burning of elderly women. That's what the
video, That's what it would seem like. Anyway, there's probably be aware
of that, you know what I mean? But mostly peaceful now, pretty
much the death of all the Jews. Yeah, oh, that's pretty much
what they're protesting for. What if they don't want all? They want half?
And that's their opening volley because art of the deal. Oh so say
lovers like like, I'm gonna say, like I am a mem fromas I
would like the death of all the Jews, but I'm doing it just so
I can get like, so, actually what I was the death of half
the Jews? Yeah, yeah, I don't think that's what they want.
I think they want all or nothing. Oh it's pretty much all yeah,
okay, but just the ones between the river and the sea, right we
should be all of them? Yes, okay, Well look you word it
one way, I'll word it the other way. All right. So yeah,
they're running on loop. They did somebody. I don't know if it's
just somebody. Sometimes I wonder if people commenting are are really good AI,
and then I'm even more impressed. But I don't know, but I can't
find the post now. But I posted the I posted basically a little news
video saying, hey, here's what's happening. It's not it's not the actual
October seventh or excuse me, yes, October October seven. What did I
say earlier? I'm stupid? Excuse me the October seventh attacks. I think
I said January because I'm dumb. It's not that it's from a distance,
but it just kind of shows you the scene where they got it, and
it's surrounded, I like protective fencing with like Israeli flags and stuff. So
so they got that boy on loop and then somebody commented that it was cruel
to subject these kids to such violent images, right, but that's what they're
protesting. Four kco Day Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. You want to be on the show. I just
mentioned athletes, So let me real quick throw this in as we got a
bunch of different stories to bounce around to. You may have we may have
the numbers now. So everyone's a little excited, little giddy over on sports
Twitter today because now we have the data, and the long arduous process that
may never fully be resolved can begin. And that is sports people sitting here
in debating whether Lebron James or Michael Jordan's the best, as though they haven't
done that before, because Lebron may have played his last game, which was
the Lakers exiting in five. So the you know, they didn't get one,
they were they didn't get sweeped. They got one and they got another,
you know, but still that's the end of that. So oh bye?
Yeah? Is that gonna be a long arduous process? Is this where
I don't know, Man, did a Lebron win two championships in this last
game? I don't know how that would be possible. One then I guess
the debate is over. We can move on. What's next? Well,
hold on, that's that's just one stat line, right, Ross is referring
to Lebron's four championships. I mention this, cant remember the number? How
many does he have? Oh? Six? Well, I mentioned this New
Times, right, Lebron has a losing record in the finals. He has
a losing win percentage in the finals. It's over because as far as I
know, Michael Jordan has a one hundred percent. Right, he won one
hundred percent of his finals? Right? How is this even a debate?
This is so dumb. Well, but but that's not all the stuff,
Like, okay, then didn't pile up all the stuff and then all that
stuff besides total points score? Because he played like how many what like a
decade longer than Michael Jordan? He has more, you know, more points
total, but it's six seasons, but he has less success in more time.
It's such a dumb debate. Yeah, but a lot of them,
they're notted up, like do you know they have the same exact number of
Rookie of the year time? All right, yeah, so a bit did
you know that I did not? People did not? Okay, well,
why was Jordan never able to pull ahead? There? Then I'm practicing arguing
for Lebron? So why was she never able to pull ahead there? Also,
let's see here Lebron was the assists leader one year, Michael Jordan never
was the top assist IOWA counterpoint with that Lebron is an insufferable, whiny bitch
who has never been great and is not top five? Is that a trophy?
I've got the stats here? Which trophy is that. So let's see
here, although there's also the part where Jordan dominates in every defensive category because
they still play defense and Jordan Jordan's thing wasn't defense. He won the offensive
player in the Defensive Player of the Year one year. Yes, that's ridiculous.
Yes, and Lebron never did. And that was the second thing he
was but heard over, not winning the defensive Player of the year. Let's
see here. Well, here we go. Who has more All Star appearances?
Ross? Huh? Well, once again, I would say, you
know, he played for how many How many seasons did he play? Twenty
one seasons for Lebron? Fifteen for shut up? Yeah, what I means
you've got somebody who has more success and less amount of time, more awards
and less amount of time. Mm hmm okay, yeah, yeah, I
mean all of that's fair. I mean, I don't think the younger generation
it's not their fault, they weren't there, But a lot of it is
their fault because there's no curiosity to really delve into the past. Right,
you've gone over this before the show video of this, Right, it's a
complete recency bias. It's so dumb, like, how good do we really
know that Honus Wagner was right, because yeah, I don't. There's nothing
on the GRAM, no videos on the Twitter. What the time about a
time where like Michael Jordan was in the playoffs, you knew who was gonna
win. There was no debate. They're like, well, they're gonna win
again. And this happened every year, year after year. Yeah, so
you're saying it got boring. No, it was amazing to watch because you
were watching it and you were like, I'm watching art. Yeah, yeah,
pretty much. So, Oh, I don't know, man. There's
some of the ESPN guys they think that this is probably never going to be
solved, which is not at all about writing the check for their shows for
the next six months or whatever. It is a legit Yeah, it's a
legit unsolved mystery here. Yeah. Yeah, we'll never know. We'll never
know. Yeah. Yeah, that's a that's a fair point, man,
very good point, there is anyway. Yeah, I listened there and I
saw somebody else mention this yesterday. No, does Lebron James have an immense
amount of talent, yes, possibly more than anyone ever, But it's it's
unfortunate that he could not turn that into success when it comes to winning.
Well, look, look the guy. Does the guy have titles? Yes
he does, Okay, but he lost more than he won. Right,
if I won for NBA titles, you would be awestruck. Me If it
was me running up and down the court at my height, my weight,
my level of really concerned, that would be amazing, a miracle, right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh my god. Right.
Atheists would be like God exists because that is a miracle. Well, I
mean we don't have to go that far. I mean I could shoot a
little bit to lay it on that thick but okay, to your point,
we'll go with this for the shock value of the of the thing. Yeah,
and you bring up the championships and you have people that go, oh,
well, then what about Bill Russell. Bill Russell has more championships and
than Michael Jordan, And that is true, But then you've got to stack
up everything else, like we said, all the other accolades, all the
awards, all the staff, I mean completely different. Who has more Olympic
medals? Hmmm? Would would that be Michael Jordan? I don't know.
I don't know either, Yeah, I know, but the Olympics is just
a poverty event. Anyway, we host other third you know, it's US
and like the third world, which is the rest of the world. Well,
look to be fair, Like where do you think a lot of these
new hot players are from? Looking at you Serbia and you know, former
Yugoslavian countries, so they're you know, they're catching up, but no matter
how excited. And I think, God, this goes back to the renew
that some people call it the renew the dream Team, right, So that
was when we just people just decided that we were gonna have crappy teams.
And then I who did we lose to? I think it was Serbia,
right, And people are like, how the hell did that happen? And
then they said, all right, well we got to get real, you
know, we got to get serious about this. And that was when Kobe
and Lebron and others did go in there. It did dominate, admittedly,
but it paled in comparison. Having lived through both of it. If you
don't remember the all encompassing original Dream Team and the insanity around eighty eight,
like I don't even know. I I am just a little kid, and
it's everywhere you're seeing, You're seeing like your team blow out other countries by
like sixty points and like it's I could pull the stats up, but I
mean it was, but it was ingrained in every bit of life. M
remember McDonald's it was, That's what McDonald's was earlier everywhere dream team, this
dream team that and and it was ugly. And it was because the Olympic
Committee said, you know, it was unfair that somebody might be the best
in their country and just because they you don't play for money, that they
should be disqualified. They realized they weren't putting the best product out there,
and so we were, you know, us had been sitting there like they,
like so many have for so many years, going, this is kind
of unfair because we can play our best college guys and that's fine, but
how are we the land of Jordan and Bird and Barkley and Johnson And I'm
trying to remember all the people were on this with Stockton was on that too,
right, he was on the original dream team. You know, what
do these guys look like? And then we found out what they look like.
They look like a wood chipper for everyone everywhere, And and you know
why do you know why that was so vastly different because you were still allowed
to be proud of your country the now now, even though we do have
it, if it was approached in the same way as we're gonna go out
and show the world, because uh, you know, they were talking trash
prior to this. You know, it's like Spain would beat the US and
they'd be like, oh, oh yeah, you're the you know, it's
the home of basketball, and you just got your butt kicked by us,
and we don't even work six weeks out of the year straight and and and
so you you had to swell of pride. You're like, all right,
you couldn't shut up. Guess what. Here comes Jordan and crew Man.
And it was amazing. And now they'd be like, oh, why are
you a basketball nationalist? What you don't think I'm You don't think I'm correct?
Yeah it's accurate. Yeah, yeah, they right think pieces in the
New York Times how how racist or embracing the Dream Team. Here's what they
dream of is not what MLK dreamt or you know something. They dream of
white white supremacy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is why they sent
a bunch of black athletes primarily over to kick everyone. I've been so burned
out in social media lately, you haven't even been wanting to participate because I
mentioned, you know last week. It's like, yeah, I scroll,
and I'm like, why can't you be normal? But also I'm just like,
I'm so tired of the the obvious, blatant stupidity of people talking at
There's a lot of issues that come up on the show and I don't say
anything because if I don't know anything about it, I'm not I'm not going
to talk about right, I'm just not going to do. You see this
in social media law, where you're like, everybody's just gonna say. I'm
I have my opinion on everything, and I have no idea what I'm talking
Like the same people that say that Lebron and I saw this in a thread
drove me absolutely crazy. Somebody was saying, you know, Lebron is better
than than Michael and even you know, better than Bird because Larry Bird all
he was, he was just he all he did was shoot threes and he
was a spot up shooter. And I'm like, you have no idea what
you're talking about. No, you never watch him pass the Paul, But
I mean I can watch the highlights of Larry Bird just passing inside the lane.
It because it's so insane because he's never looking at who's throwing. I
mean, it's just and that's just one aspect of his game. So yes,
I like to say that Larry Bird is just a spot, spot up
shooter and all he did was shoot threes. You have no idea what you're
talking about. Yeah, after he came over and drew you a diagram of
you having a three shot on you, and then somebody mentioned in the comments,
they're like, and I don't I didn't don't know if this is accurate.
Didn't look into it, but everybody was acting like they were like,
well, Draymond Green has shot more threes than Larry Bird. Now, granted
the game was a lot different back then and now we shoot a lot more
threes, But I mean, you can't he didn't shoot a lot of threes.
You think he did because you see the highlights of when he shot those
threes, and because they counted you shoot him from the corner to win a
game. That's after you said you were gonna shoot it from the corner to
win the game. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, this goes back to my
diagram, which was amazing, And and and one of the worst takes I
saw on This is not how to do with Larry Bird and Lebron thing was
somebody claimed that if if your hate on Lebron and you don't feel that he
might be the goat or we'll even give him a chance, it's it's it.
It could be racism. What why are you laughing? You don't feel
that, because I would say the people that don't believe he is. He
said, we're in two camps, right, tends to be Michael Jordan versus
Lebron And I wouldn't say they're both. They're both black, but only one
and this is this was the argument, one embraces their blackness more. Yeah,
yeah, that was a hell of an argument. That's what of the
Ryan Like, you want to write something so you can fully verse how stupid
to take that is, but also you don't want to give that person any
engagement. And I think that was one of the dead Spin dudes. I
think it was one of the former dead Spin people who wrote that. It
was that was a few years of course it was. Of course, that
was their argument that basically white basketball fans enjoy they want they want players who
will deny their own heritage. And here's the thing I don't remember, Michael.
The only thing that I've ever heard Michael Jordan's say or read where you
could make that argument. You know exactly what it is, don't you see
the sneakers quote, the sneakers quote which was right there in the in the
piece. Yes, people just like watching excellence, and most people can recognize
it when it's so apparent. I think you're half right. I think people
used to the majority of people used to like to watch excellence. I think
now a huge percentage enjoy. And I don't just mean occasionally when you like
want to watch some idiot, you know, say, here's a guy who's
wearing no pants on basalts running from cops. Right, you're not watching excellence
on the part of that dude. You're watching some of the worst decisions ever
and it's not going to end. Well, that's that's fine, that's a
part of people's lives. But when it comes to inherent competition other than you
know where loyalties may lie between you know, teams that you root for.
I think there's a big chunk of people who want only to watch non excellence
because excellence they are made to feel bad about right, it's the whole Right,
is it gonna inspire you or is it going to make you feel bad
about yourself and what you've accomplished? Well? But also, but also there's
the third rail, and the third rail is when America wins, you're embarrassed
for it, right, because you can't stand the idea of America or or
whatever it is, accomplishing it because you've been taught that success is only achievable
on the backs of others through repression. And that's a heavy life lesson,
right. And you know, you could argue that Michael Jordan repressed six different
teams dreams. Well, actually what four different teams as you played twice the
Knicks And I'd have to look it up. But like, that's the stupidity
of that argument. But when you take it to that level, it then
invades everything else. And yeah, also, Michael Jordan makes me feel bad
about my dunk, so what it's true? Man? Also, his fishing
boat's pretty nice. So you still have the super sized largest viking on the
planet because the one I saw at one time was amazing. Anyway, six
fifty one hang on Cacoda Radio program. You'll be happy, happy to learn
that we are off and running this year already. Sometimes this doesn't even kick
in till May. One of my favorite things that I've talked about incessantly on
the radio a memory, a fun memory of growing up, and something that
even now with the distance between state of Wyoming and you know, current digs,
I still follow very closely, and that is tourist goring season. You've
spoke of this, and man we are We've already had some, but I
like this one. You got to really identify the one that's like the official
opening game or opening day, and then what else is preseason? And I
think we're fully into regular season. Now I'll explain what some dude was arrested
for and not carted off in a purse, so he should be very content
with that. But we will get to that here in just a few minutes.
Also, we have the loose most, the most loosely sourced Republican hit
piece I've ever seen from Ril. And that's saying something. But also it
may be true. That's the thing. I could believe that it could be
true. I could believe that it could be wholesale made out of and uh,
you know, politically motivated, But either way, it's not. It's
it's disturbing journalists or editorial decisions to go ahead and treat it as though it's
true based on an anonymous Reddit post and then based on well, we you
know, we did it. We did get in contact with the anonymous poster.
And it doesn't say whether they maintained anonymity, but it does say that
they track down additional information, which is crazy when you think about all this
that doesn't get covered, that they're literally farming news stories off anonymous Reddit posts.
Have you been on Reddit? And don't get me wrong, I got
to redd it from time to time, but Reddit is Reddit is moon bad
infested right. It is not any any sort of bashing of free speech.
In fact that there are lots and lots of examples that you can see.
There's a whole Twitter accounts dedicated to showing the gigantic double standard. There.
So a story like the one that with the you know, the Bourbon trail
stuff, that's going to stick and that's probably that's going to fester into perhaps
making it onto main page stuff. But and it's because it's a story that
is, you know, it's a self fulfilling story. If you're if you're
a big progressive and you're on Reddit all the time, which, judging by
the content and and sure as hell the mods on there, that that's who
your audience is. Then this is this is the stuff that makes you know
you just in your heart, You're like, this is why I know that
my political thoughts, which I totally came up with all on my own,
are one hundred percent true because an anonymous post on Reddit and then actual news
agencies and I'm making air quotes jump on it. That's crazy to me.
I don't know, maybe you could be pouring a little more attention into and
I and and they did cover it, but the fact that multiple law enforcement
officers who were attempting to affect the rest for a felon in possession of a
firearm, and that's an important cornerstone of this story. Down in Charlotte,
this is already illegal, and law enforcement was actually doing something about it because
that is what they do. I understand that the high profile, you know,
woke law enforcement folks they had up on the news a lot because they're
just like, oh, you know, we decided that we've want to strengthen,
so we're strengthened the community connection. So now we're gonna not arrest people,
because when you arrest people, they become under arrest and it's a pipeline,
or it's this, that or the other. These are the the officers
who engaged with these with these lunatics yesterday and lost their lives and or became
wounded and or became pinned down. Listening to the radio traffic over the course
of the roughly for I will say forty five minut a little longer than that,
even it's hard to listen to. So they're going to deal, They're
going to deal with these individuals. They're going to take or take at least
one of them into custody maybe they had for both, but and immediately are
met with a tremendous amount of fire. I'm assuming, and I've was speculating
with somebody I was chatting with about this yesterday who's in the law enforcement world,
who at the very least was thinking that they might have switches, which
is a thing that they have been dealing with in law enforcement at an ever
increasing rate. I'm talking about modified handguns, blocks that allow you to shoot
in an automatic fashion or and or in some cases, I guess, burst
fire. It's strange though, because we were talking about handguns, and I
think at the very least some of the shots that were being fired were coming
from a rifle yesterday, or that's how it says in the radio traffic.
And I don't know the rate of fire that was achievable for that. But
regardless, if you are a felon and clearly somebody who is on the radar
enough for possession and or distribution or sale of guns in all, you're not
allowed to own any of those. And then people will go, well,
that's but then the way they get them is they get them from stealing from
people, and so that's why we got to take them all. You're living
in a fantasy land in the same way, and this is going to bother
some of you. There is the same percentage of chance that you could smoothly
disarm the American populace, that you could deport everybody. Those have the same
probability of success in being in that being a smooth process that goes well and
accomplishes its mission. Do you know what I'm saying, I know what one's
cause I'm not arguing whether you know what one isn't. Where people are literally
breaking the law and it's being used for political and the other one, for
the most part, are people who are following the law. That's not the
judgment call I'm making. I'm talking about the ability that that would go down
and be smoothly accomplished. I think roughly the same, which is zero.
Right. You might be able to accomplish both, but it ain't gonna be
pretty. So we have to at least operate in that realm and so that
we can decide whether we think this is something we want to go through with.
I think the one with the guns it ends a lot worse. Maybe
people don't like me saying that, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit
here and I'm gonna watch all of these folks who for the next forty eight
hours are gonna be like you know, who doesn't support law enforcement, people
who support the Second Amendment, and run that garbage like they're the champions,
the heroes of law enforcement. At every turn, you're going to take a
situation and you're going to attempt to make yourself look good when this is a
situation that Holy has nothing to do with you is. And I think that
would be that would be best case scenario because some would say it does have
a little more to do with you when you influence politicians to not put criminals
in jail so that they're allowed to continue their criminal enterprising, because then by
the time a US Marshall's warrant team or you know, some jump out boys
or you know any of these guys who basically in gals that spend their day
going after the worst of the worst, the scummiest of the scummiest, like
your Only by the time they get to where there's actual appetite to do anything
criminally. In many of these instances, now you're dealing with people who have
they have far more, far more firearms, they have far more power,
they have far more to lose, right, and so yeah, because we
want to start pointing fingers, there could be a little bit of a connection
there where you've literally empowered a criminal. Most folks who are willing to do
what was done yesterday, which was essentially a sieged house where the fire was
coming from all directions if you listen to the different different parts of the house
directions of the house. Whe they say they're taking fire from from an elevated
position and firing on and killing four law enforcement officers and injuring several others.
And I got to listen to a tape where officers in various states of emotions
are sitting there and they are torn between the fact that they need to maintain
cover based on the rate of fire that's coming in on them, and watching
their colleagues literally bleed out and require medical assistance and not be able to do
anything to it about it. I would encourage you sometime to listen to the
rate traffic on stuff like this, because you understand the scope of time that
you're you're sitting there and uh, you're you're you're staring at somebody who you
you've worked with for years, right who has now been now been wounded multiple
times. You're literally taking cover behind. I think it was like a mini
camper. I think one of the officers was pinned behind. And you have
to listen to radio traffic where other officers the the entire the entirety, it
sounded like of the police department are rushing and yet things like the armor,
the smoker armor and others that are utilized, you know, the shielding and
various other things, those are five minutes away. Do you know how long
five minutes is when you're watching your colleague bleed out in front of you and
you're not even you're not able to render medical assistance because some lunatics upstairs opening
fire like it's the the second half of Full Metal Jacket. So screw you
who would take advantage of this and dishonestly sit there and I got to hear
about gun show loopholes or any of the rest of this, when in reality,
used to be for a lot of cats, before they'd get so bad
that they would feel that they were justified in murdering police officers. They would
either think twice because they actually would put you to death for it, or
two. A lot of times within a person's criminal career, the police would
get to them before that, which is why you have people with multiple arrests
and who are now also the target of this task force. Right, that's
a felon in possession, and that's part of it which we require that they
have obviously interacted with law enforcement before. That's how they got to be a
felon so that they were not allowed to possess. It's just so maddening and
I don't want to I'm not sitting here. I'm not going to sit here
and start the political side of it. But I will damn sure respond to
it when I see that these these awful takes that I watch once again,
a bunch of people who who who marched around with idiots with a cab written
on their you know, their little Antifa gear and pose for photo ops.
I'll be damned if you're gonna sit there and go, we're the only ones
doing anything to protect law enforcement. Sorry, you don't. You don't get
to Nobody buy You'd have to be delusional to buy it. But I'm I'm
beginning to think that the delusion has so set in that individuals are unable to
deal It. Used to be you would just ignore facts and reality, but
now it's so undermines what is going on in in in people's lazy, lazy
argument making to support their position. And I think one of the best pieces
of evidence I saw on this happened with Nancy Pelosi yesterday. Nancy Pelosi is
sitting with Katie Turr from MSNBC. Okay, Nancy Pelosi is sitting with Katie
Turr from MSNBC, And I'm tying these together. And I normally wouldn't do
this, but I think that there's an important component here, and the same
old tired talking point goes out and Nancy thinks she can deliver it and it'll
just be out there, it'll hang out there, it'll never get challenged.
And Katie Urre says something. Not that Katie tur is a good journalist.
Katie Turre is enabling as anybody else over at MSNBC. But even the absurdity
of claiming, well, Donald Trump had the worst jobs record and Joe Biden
had the best, and not talking about the context of the day, which
as we go deeper into deeper into history, I think will be largely excommunicated,
right COVID you think history professors, especially the ones who are surrounding the
moonbat protesters, do you think those history professors want to teach the context?
You think in twenty years, forty years, fifty years down the road when
they're talking about those do you think that the because remember, the context is
something that really quickly disappears from historical record. There's a lot of stuff in
in around World War two and or stats that we know where people are surprised
by context around it. It's not that it's good or bad, it just
explains stuff well with the Trump stuff. Turs like, well, yeah,
but you know, a little asterisk here, and I want you to listen
to how Pelosi reacted to this, and Joe Biden is doing that created nine
million jobs in his tournament office. Donald Trump has the worst record of job
loss of any president. So we just have to make sure people know that
was a global pandemic. She had the worst record of any president. We've
had other concerns in our country. If you want to be an apologist for
Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain't mine any as
these. But by the way, there's a little bit of a self realization
Katie Ursley. I don't know if you see they see how I normally report,
but li is it a Pelosi She can't deal. This is a woman
who has been in Congress her whole life. I don't you say an adult
life, No, her whole life. Her father was a member of Congress.
She essentially she was a little there's pictures of her like running around the
little darling of the uh of Congress there and yet when that one uncomfortable fact's
out there, she doesn't She's like, it's not even a repertoire to be
able to defend it because they don't feel they have to anymore. In the
same way that I'm gonna watch these idiots walk around and talk about how they're
the only ones who care about police, and I bet they didn't spend five
minutes attempting to understand that story other than the word gun. That's the tragedy
of all of this. This is how we slip deeper into the abyss.
And also this is how, according to Monmouth University, we create the most
dangerous new type of voter. I'll explain coming up next. Hang on,
I'm hearing now from the as you can imagine, some rather frustrated law enforcement
officers, and the stories all sound kind of kind of similar. I don't
want to get anyone in trouble, so I'm not going to get into any
specifics of them, but basically, the frustration when literally your job, and
in the case of some of these officers, these are the folks that are
not out there doing traffic stops. These are the ones that are going after
the the you know, the upper echelon criminals, the most violent criminals out
there, who find themselves frustrated when they'll literally go and arrest somebody who has
an active warrant for like, you know, some sort of violent crime,
and you know, a few months later, what are they doing. They've
got to go arrest that person again. Maybe so by the time you by
the time you've been bolden and enabled somebody and train them, there's not going
to be constant Wentz is their significant consequences and they can expand their criminal behavior,
empire whatever you want to call it. How do you think that person's
going to react when police come to kick a door and take them out of
a house? Not well? So, you know, I hear the frustration.
I don't understand it. I just sit there and then I watch it.
And then I watched the cycle of the way in which we're gonna have
a few people who are instrumental in creating this situation, who are going to
position themselves as the defender of law enforcement. Those are some of these are
going to be elected officials in and around Charlotte, and it disturbs and disgusts
me. Or I don't know, perhaps age running for a running for governor.
Sorry, no, I don't know that anyone's buying it. Or maybe
they are, or maybe you're creating a situation where nobody wants anything to do
with the system. How do I know, because the most dangerous growing voter,
a type of voter is out there. And there's a Monmouth University did
a study on this, and then there's some some stories that they wrote,
and that's the the The dual haters is their call. This is so dumb.
The dual haters are double haters. Hold on, I just well whatever,
dual haters or double haters, either one is fine. So that is
somebody who doesn't like either of their choices, who are now a one of
the most dangerous growing demographics of voters. This is some sad Biden water carry
right here, folks, let me tell you what this is some This is
some very sad way to go about it. You're now to the point where
it's like you have to demonize people who I might be frustrated with both parties
or both candidates and a race or any of the rest of it. I
thought that that was how many times have we been berated that we should be
more like Europe or Canada, even though the reason they have so many of
these splinter parties there in large party is because of the parliamentary nature of how
things work there where you have to, you have to put these coalitions together.
But if there is a significant enough breaking point kind of like tea party
regular GOP, except like you, they got to make the deal. So
it's their version of it. But the way it's accomplished is through these independent
political parties and not just various packs and things like that. So yeah,
I saw yeah listeners Josh pointed out yesterday, and it's a really good point.
It goes along to what you're saying, mm hmm. Is very quickly
and there was two photos side by side of like headlines like articles right,
and it went we really quickly. We went from the third party vote,
people that vote third party are wasting their vote right now, the extreme that
these are the people deciding the election, and that they're the most dangerous voters.
And you know what, if it was just that, it would be
dumb enough, but it actually is also one other thing. Even people who
will then still go grudgingly vote for one of the two right, they'll hate
it and they'll they'll they'll do the they'll do the whole I held my nose
and voted for Trump, or I held my nose and voted for Biden,
whatever it is, though, people are equally dangerous because they sap enthusiasm from
other voters and may dissuade people from wanting to vote right in the same way
that I'm like, Ross, I gotta go get a I gotta go get
a wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow, and then I just complained about the whole process.
You're not going to have a positive outlook on that, right, or
maybe wisdom teeth isn't the right well look, it is because it's something that
needs to be done. But yeah, so if you're only if you're one
of these people, and I'm somewhat envious sometimes of them who literally know nothing
about what's going on in politics ever until about five minutes before they go to
cast a ballot, and the social media has told them what to say if
that person becomes uninspired to vote, Because I'm like, ugh, I can't
stand these guys. I don't know that that's a bad thing, but also
I don't know that that necessarily is that big of a deal either. But
I love the fact they're trying to frame it as if you don't vote for
either side, you are a danger. You are a danger, And what
they really mean is you don't vote for this one side, and then if
you do vote for then the other side, then we can cause if you
don't vote for the side that we hate, then it doesn't allow us to
necessarily saddle you with the bigot, you know, the bigot racist nationalists,
Nazi monikers. So I think maybe they're missing out on that as well.
All of it is so dumb, but yeah, you have to vote for
either or because really they're the same part of the different size of the same
coin, right, the big one, giant uniparty, right the local arty,
and that's who they're cracking down. It's the illusion of choice. And
you know what, and you know what, some would say that the reason
that you would go and you'd put something like this together Monmouth and others,
is because you realize that your ability to use said uniparty are very similar,
you know, where you get all these politicians and still kind of vote and
commiserate the same like that that shows that you're over the target. Do you
know what I'm saying? In some people's minds, they kind of feel like
that. In my mind, I think that that means that you're over the
target. Dude. If they can't, because what is the entirety of political
marketing. The other side is Satan. That's literally Satan. I know you're
mad at me, but you want to vote for Satan? No, oh
no, no, we'll get over it. Remember that time we, you
know, when saw a movie together or whatever, good times. Can't vote
for Satan. That argument doesn't work as much as if you think you're dealing
with two Satans. And I think that's what this is really about. But
look, people don't have reasonable discussions anymore. I saw apparently young workers are
very upset over a growing trend, especially within the tech sector, that they
feel should not be legal. We'll tell you what that is. Hint,
the word accountability will be in that. And I mentioned tourist goring season getting
underway, my favorite time of the year. And it's still April for you
know, about five more minutes, and I will I will use mister ray
Stagic too from the Weather Channel to demonstrate this ray back in your back in
your younger years, did you ever you know, party a little? Well?
How far? How far back do we want to go? I don't
have to disclose, do I No, not at all, not at all.
No, No, let's say the answer that question is yes, did
you ever party a little too much? Let's say the answer that question is
also yes, this is a safe space, all right. Did you ever
get so drunk you tried to fight bison? Let's say the answer that question
is no. Oh wow, what do you even? What are you even
doing? Man? What are you even doing? That's right. A man
who was in Yellowstone National Park let's see here, was arrested and jailed and
treated for minor injuries after rangers say the man was drunk harassing a bison heard
and even went so went so far, this is about just inside the west
entrance to the park, even went so far as to quote roll up on
one of the bison and began kicking it, which I mean, just clangers
down stairs right that you got to have to do that and or you need
to be extremely drunk. And that's what official say he was, the fact
that he isn't dead right now is amazing to me. Yeah. Never an
encounter to bison, nor do I think I ever want to encounter a bison
up. Most of the people that I tried to pick on were I had.
We're all walking on two legs, thank goodness. Yeah, I've told
you man I spent. I spent many a summer in Yellowstone Park at family
members there have been in Wyoming. The most exciting time of the year is
when the tourists show up and let's let's put the kid next to a bison.
Let's go, let's go see if that goose wants a hug. Right,
this is my favorite time of the year. And this is a doozy
because I've never seen anyone kick a bison. Yeah, I nor would I
want to. Maybe on a video, but not in person. But we
raised it. Did you know we raised bison? Yeah, well I didn't
know that, but I'm not surprised going on. Those are the quote docile
ones. And I still wouldn't get in a position near a like that,
right, Yeah, I don't blame you there, yes, yeah, well
yeah, sure, whatever that is. I guess if you've had enough and
you've been over served, you kick a bison in any kind of weather.
There is rain on the way off to the west now, going through Knoxville,
getting ready to come into Ashville and Greenville. We're going to hit most
of the vills here this morning, probably Sayville later as we go through the
day. So this line in this area of rain and showers does weaken as
it approaches. Cloud's going to increase west to east end by this evening,
maybe for the Triad, possibly a little bit earlier, there could be some
showers around, maybe a thundershower, and then we get some showers thundershowers.
I think most of us will see this hold off until this evening or even
after sunset. Load to mid eighties today, Tonight in the sixties, isolated
showers and butter storms tomorrow, otherwise not too bad of the day. Notice
now, as we're getting in the lay April May, it sounds more like
summertime with the hitt and miss showers, butter showers and the chance for thunder
most of them Tomorrow daylight hours wives is dry and pleasant. Then think it's
a little warm up with plenty of sun for Thursday and Friday, mid eighties,
maybe some upper eighties, and then the weekend looks like we'll get back
to some showers and butter showers. So a little bit of rain late today
tonight, maybe a hitter miss storm tomorrow. Rest of the week looks sunny
and warm, probably touch humidity. To Casey, we're starting to get into
that time of year also no, no, sorry, no, I will
send I will send a bice in that for you. All Right, get
out of here. They can run, they can run forty miles an hour,
just you know. Oh okay, yeah, good luck with that.
All right, even Hussain Bolt, that's not going to work for him.
All right, seven forty seven casey O day radio program and we'll be back
hang on. So so uh anyway, now my question is, was the
staff wearing Buffalo Bills gear who was questioning your allegiance to the Buffalo Bille No,
they were not. Is that? Wow? That seems it's a bit
hypocritical, right, shouldn't they be adorned in Buffalo Bill's gear? So Ross
went to Wegmans because he saw a press conference. Yeah, so the Bills
got their new wide receiver right because some wonderful buying tips. Yeah, I
hope you saved money. So afterwards he goes off stage and he's like,
can I have some of these snacks? And he starts eating these cookies and
the reporters like, yeah, those are from Wegmans. And I'm like,
oh man, you know I haven't been to the Wegmans yet. Wake Forest
because it's probably because it's been insane, I'm sure, yeah, and it's
just weird to get to. You can take it right, you get it's
the parking situation. It looks complicated. I'm like, honestly, I didn't
even know where it was to explain to me, and uh, the one
that opened by my house, the one on wake Forest six forts, was
just the first Wegmans. I remember. I didn't go in there for like
three months because it was insane. And I don't know how long the one
in wake Forest is, but I'm picturing it being a dumpster fire that could
never twist your arm to get you in there. So I was surprised to
hear that you went there. So it's Mark because I told her I was
going to pick up, you know, groceries on the way home, and
so I'm there and parking. I'm like, I to try a Wegmans,
she writes back, because she knows how I am. It's very rare for
me to try new things, right, Yeah, she writes back to me,
glitters, Oh my god. Really, I'm yeah, I'm gonna check
it out. So I go in. I'm looking for these cookies. I
want to try those cookies that the guy had because they looked amazing. You
walk in and they're right there in the front. Of course, they're big
table of them. They know what they're doing. There's like eight cookies or
whatever, and this little tiny plastic bin for sixteen dollars. No, yeah,
I'm gonna try these things. So I go up and I'm checking out,
and I told you know, I bought a bunch of other things too
that I was gonna get. And and Ross has a Bill's hat that he
wears. I'm wearing a Bill's hat. I'm wearing Buffalo blow shirt. And
I'm wearing my my new balanced shoes because I'm old, the red, white
and blue nubat. So it's got the whole outfit, the crow or not.
No, I haven't got to that point yet. Okay, all right
anyway, so you know it gives the point. She goes, do you
have a loyalty card? And I go, no, I've never I've never
been to Wegmans before. And she goes, but you're wearing a Buffalo Bill's
hat. I'm like, you know, I just came in for both.
Yea, yeah, you just And as you know, they only that's the
only place they sell. But Bill's Hats is a Wegmans. What is it
with people? Was it somebody the other day who was surprised that they had
Wegmans in Buffalo? Yeah? So the comments in the same for the cookies.
Comments on Twitter, people are like, how did they get Wegmans in
Buffalo because they're all poores? Is that what they were insinuating Buffalo? You
know, why would they have something nice there? Like, well, you
know where it comes from, right, the Wegmans? Is uh? Are
you saying that there might be a connection, might be upstate New York area?
So anyway, I ate these cookies. Yes, and I I feel
like I can. I can play a wide receiver in the NFL. Now
all right, I want to watch you get I want to watch our new
linebacker, our new edge rusher. Are you yeah? I don't know,
man, I feel like I would. I think people would pay to see
that. We'll throw you. We'll throw you some quick out routes and you
can deal with that dude from Alabama. That'll be amazing. It'll be for
the kids. We'll do charity if you're not too busy. I'm also theorizing
that you are, in fact the cheeseballs superhero dude. Guy's a legend.
If you guys don't know this is just let me just hit you with a
little stupidity and then we'll get into some more serious stuff. Is we can
get into the next hour and then more stupidity before the end of the show.
But so I'm I'm the whole time. I'm trying to figure out what
the hell is going on because I think that there I assume that there has
to be a political angle to this thing, because that's the only reason people
do stuff anymore. And I was so pleasantly surprised that some guy just decided
to show up in a ski mask and as a public demonstration eat an entire
You know, when you go to Costco, or you don't even have to
go to Costco, you go any place where you can get those giant,
oversized bucket of cheeseballs comes in the big plastic bin that's taller than your dog.
And his whole thing was just going to stand on a soapbox in midtown
Manhattan and as a demo, just eat all of the cheeseballs. Yeah,
we are so back, We're so bad as a country. Well know,
we have rebounded from COVID. We are back that's maybe a little early,
but it's a positive sign. I guess is uh where I'll meet you?
But also we don't know. We don't know this hero's identity, and it
could be you under there. I don't know, man, I'm just saying,
would you could you eat? Either confirm nor deny you have They're they're
literally the Ross's entire board. You guys can't see it right now, covered
in cheeto dust or some sort of orange luminescent powder. I'm a big fan
of the big touba cheto balls. Come on, so what is that?
Is that cheese ball residue? Or is it? Or is it food dyed
cocaine wing sauce? Oh oh okay, stained to get like nicotine fingers,
But it's like wing sauce, powdered wing sauce. That's I know that was
a thing. So anyway, tweet out they that if you didn't see that
insanity. This happening right, It's happening right now. Okay, all right,
good morning. What am I rambling about? Well that's probably a question
you've asked yourself many a day on this show, but I'll go ahead and
fill you in. Yeah, you're all getting arrested. But yeah, so
they're purging the they're purging the camp they're at Chapel Hill. Oh man,
all right, So apparently there was an there was a let's see at five
forty or five thirty this morning. Five thirty this morning, protesters were warned
this was their last opportunity to vacate, and by six am, anyone who
remained would be subject to removal, arrest, removal and or both. And
by the way, this is like ninth warning. While many gathered there are
things and actually left, many stayed. At that point, the interim Chancellor
Roberts, who remember this is the guy who once got photographed next to Art
Pope and Moonbatster screaming that he shouldn't be interim chancellor because there's quote, no
use for there can't be political bias on college campuses. But I digress.
Good, good, good good. This is the question I've been asking.
This is what I wanted to know, and I will tell you right now.
Good for them. So you have the interim Chancellor Provost, who released
a statement before police are removing protesters, saying, quote, for the last
several months, we have spoken regularly and respectfully with the demonstrators consistently supporting their
right to assemble and express their views. We've also clearly communicated the university's long
standing policies on the use of sheer public spaces. Basically, you can't camp
there. And ironically enough, this was this was an issue like ten years
ago. I remember this being one of the stories we talked about ten years
ago, and that was do you remember, Maybe it wasn't quite ten years
but probably at least this was easily Obama territory easily. Do you remember when
the students demanded, among other things, at one of their little wiggleworm a
die in protests, that the restriction on homeless people camping on campus be lifted.
They just wanted to tell you the campus should be a public space for
everyone, and they would just turn into a homeless drug adult flop house,
and university officials didn't go along with it. That is because there is a
restriction on camping on campus. It doesn't matter if you're a student or what.
There are some limited exceptions for some things that the university does, but
they're all in a very controlled environment. So this is not a new thing,
is the point that I'm making. I'm not gonna read the totality of
their statement. But they said, hey, if you don't move, we're
gonna do this. And now they're carrying them off, like the that Georgia
state trooper who was carrying that one idiot who's screaming bloody murder, Like here
we go, Yeah, here's the audio. Let's revisit this. That person.
By the way, if just to visualize this, think about like a
toddler who you've I think this example I used yesterday. Think of a toddler
who's been ordered to go to bed five times and and flaunted each one and
ignored a three count. You know about the three count. My mom's three
count. She could have she could have went into you know, officiating,
you know pro sports with that three count. It was so effective. And
then what happens, right, you ignored it, not going to bed,
and then physics takes over because you know, one hundred and eighty pound dad,
forty pound kid or whatever it is, right, what happens You scoop
him up and you haul him in the room that you want to. That's
that's that's what's going on right now and is deeply satisfying. All right,
So what are they gonna do with them. I mean, I don't think
for a moment that anyone will actually face any real punishment, but at the
very least, it's a good start compared to what we have been seeing.
So good on that, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. Is trying to keep you up to speed. We got
to talk about Sorry, sorry, what is this hold on? Well?
And he's so this is the guy I mean essentially to fill mansion seat,
right, but is the Democrat? Because what it's the Jim Justice is running
right on the Republican side, the governor and the guy who owns the Greenbrier.
That dude. All right, So Don Blankenship, didn't he run for
president tour? He was tried to. He's run He's a perennial candidate for
a lot of stuff and he's run on He's run independent Republican Democrat, so
like he admittedly he if he from a Democrat, what what I guess could
be a Democrat in West Virginia. He definitely has a lot more conservative views,
but uh not really, why does this guy look so familiar? Other
than that he kind of looks like a bloated version of George Norri. That's
you know what, that's what it is. He does look like a less
healthy version of George That nailed it. Wait, I think he's a coal
mine ceo too, by by trade. But anyway, that's not what this
is about. So he's got this this commercial out. This is this is
an action. And then, by the way, this is not some pack
this is his commercial. He supported this message. Oh hey, hold on,
hey, will you please tweet out a link to the radio traffic for
me to say absolutely, I will do that during the next break. I
should have done that before you want to listen to it, I would encourage
you to do so so you have a little better understanding of what was going
on on the ground there, at least from the perspective of the radio traffic.
Anyway, So I get I will get to that. I'm sorry,
I just realized I had several emails asking for that. Let me get back
to this Don Blankenship. So he probably not gonna win, but he's gonna
entertain. So this is an actual commercial. And then I will tell you
the most the weirdest part of this commercial after I play the audio for you,
because it's visual. But let's listen in together, shall we? I'm
black and shift cannon for the NaSTA said had I paid for to say it.
Don Blinkenship will tell you the honest truth. Don Blankenship, he's the
most honesty on in America. And that's Kennedy. That's Kennedy Junior right there.
So he obviously aligns himself with that dude. And to show the untruthfulness,
they're showing pictures of the squad, which is crazy to me, but
anyway, go ahead. Fortunately, our government is not honest. Even the
truth about the murders of mister Kennedy's dad and uncle are kept hidden. They
even refused to keep mister Kennedy safe because he left the party. Your choice
is symbol. You can vote for more lies or you can vote for mos
honesty on America. If they tell you I fell off the bed and hung
myself, I didn't. I mean, it's on record now, it's and
you know what, that's one of those things that just blends into the ethos.
I mean, how many of us, how many of us have fallen
off a bed and strangled ourselves? Right or almost right? Because we're here
today, and thankfully if I it's not I approved this message it's if I
fall off my bed and hang myself. I didn't do it. And the
thing that is visually disturbing about this spot? What is that over his left
shoulder? Is that like a bee boy Justin Bieber picture? But Bieber's wearing
American flag clothes even though he's Canadian. What the hell is going on behind
this dude? Because that's what that looks like. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe
there, Maybe it's not Justin Bieber in an American flag tracksuit. I think
that's a female. I don't know who it is though. Is that not
Bieber? Okay, I watched it on my phone, so you know the
size of it. Don't forget to mention Don blank Ship cole Mine exploded.
Look, I feel like Don Blankenship or could be a rabbit hole for people
today. The crazy ad like that. He's got a bunch of others.
I saw on the path there that is wild man. But you know,
hey, so McAfee said, I wonder if that said so, I took
a screenshot and blew it up on my phone. Yeah it's a Yeah,
it's a female in like a red, white and blue sort of windbreaker jacket
with a hat on sideway. Maybe it's like a child or a spouse.
Because it's nobody famou. I don't think it's it's not Biaber, okay,
but you can see from it when it's small, it kind of looks like
Bieber, a little but yet younger Baber before he decided to you know,
be the uh, the the beaver that you know was leaving monkeys in Germany
and vandalizing his neighbor's house. All right, all right, so check that
out. We'll put a link out and like I said, I'll get that
radio traffic link to you too, and coming up here. But I gotta
go to this because I think I think that one of the things. And
again I'm not I I'm not gonna broadbrush entire generations of people. I don't
think that's fair. That being said, I think that if when you get
into certain settings that do have a higher representative number of individuals in a particular
age group or or you know, demographic bracket, it's it's easier to do
that. So when you're dealing with, you know, the college kids on
campus that are having kicky tantrums, is the police are carrying them off of
the Chapel Hill area, right now, or or what you've seen, or
the protesters demanding amnesty, even after they have vandalized and destroyed some of the
buildings on campus, including Columbia students. Who sees the administrative building this morning.
It's clear that their kryptonite is accountability, but it's not a kryptonite that
they face in a very often, so when it does happen, it's an
interesting read. So the story, the main story here is they talk about
this woman named Susie Chaco. Now Chaco's not that young, so that's why
I don't think it's fair to sit there and just say that this is a
single age bracket. She's thirty eight, so which is you know, that
is millennial. But it seems that what's going on with her has irritated many
workers much younger than her. So Chaco works for She works for a big
insurance company, and for eighteen years, eighteen years, worked for this you
know, so literally right out of college, it went to work for this
insurance company. However, when many people started working more remotely for the company,
she started running into performance issues, and right around November of twenty twenty
two, it came to a head after she was put on a PIP,
which performance improvement plan. We used to call it a whip at one company
I work for, and I guess that wasn't politically correct. So the change
which was work work improvement or work something or other anyway, And so they
wanted to figure out why her performance and output was sinking, so they monitored
her company laptops with a keystroke lagger. And it wasn't just a keystroke lagger.
It also monitored, uh, you know, when she when she logged
on, when she logged off things that were sent, specifically the websites that
she went too. And as a result, they eventually fired her. They
fired her back in February, even though she had been on this improvement plan
for like two years. They've been trying to fix us, citing her absence
on contactability and a complete failure to complete even the most menial tasks. In
fact, let's see here, of the forty nine days they tracked her,
they say that she did not work her scheduled hours on forty four of them,
was late, forty seven of the forty nine to log on, finished
early on twenty nine of them, and in fact, on four days she
didn't even bother to work anything do any work. So I think it's pretty
clear that that is that sounds like an employee, even a long time employee,
that has been given a lot of chances and eventually the decision was made.
Well. Chaco, in an interview, went viral after she says that
this type of treatment has rendered her quote unhirable. She said, I worked
eighteen years for these people, and by invading my privacy, they created a
scenario where I may never find another job again. And so she's threatening to
sue, And now you have more and more stories coming out where yes,
in fact, as many of these jobs do move remote where you see a
lot of this, but not strictly. They're arguing whether an employer on their
own equipment, Remember this was her company laptop, should an employer be able
to glean data from that to determine whether you are in fact meeting whatever your
employment agreement is or your expectations are. And so they want to make it
illegal for companies to sit there and on their own device figure out whether their
employees are working or not. What the hell are you talking about? Ross,
You have a company laptop. I have a company laptop. Do you,
at any moment assume that they're not looking at something. No I do.
And as you know, I've been outsourced. I have a lot of
work I have to do from home, like show prep and uh right,
right prep Kolai articles. But you know I've been outsourcing my work for years
to ping in China. Yes, I pay him very like too you on
a day or whatever it is. I don't know if that's not the name
of it, but whatever, two long a day or whatever it is,
and I pay him that. But I understand that the company is probably going
to be monitoring me, so I always open up my laptop so it looks
like I'm working. You have to be smart about these things. This is
let me ask a question. How many of you when the boss sends an
email, even if it's one a big if you work for a big company
like this, this big generic one, how many of you still subconsciously make
sure that you open it and have it open for a few seconds. I
don't I delete immediately. Well, okay, let's I'm very busy, like
because you're hedging your bets. That's somewhere there's a script checking which employees looked
at it? Right, So rostas things a little differently, But I think
for most people, that little bit of paranoia there is is natural. The
part where she just didn't think that at any point when, especially when she's
under all of this work improvement program that they might be monitoring, that's crazy
to me. And then the solution is to rally around this woman who clearly,
when you look at those numbers, you know probably burned out on the
job or the changing of how she worked it didn't work for her, which,
by the way, there's no shame in that same way that people learn
differently, they work differently. Maybe she should have been more proactive in finding
a job that if she needed to be in an office, was in an
office. But regardless, no, I think people are people just assume that.
This is why when we got something I need ross to look at it's
bad, I tell them to go do it on Kyle's computer, right,
And then I said it to ping and ping with the dong, which is
literally a Vitamese currency and not Chinese. But who knows, maybe he can
change it all right. I tweeted a link out if you want to,
and it'll let's see it will if you listen to this thing straight through.
It covers a period of time from there's a lot of scrolling. Basically,
it's a one hour swath from eleven thirty to twelve thirty. Are they right?
I don't know however, it's marked on there, but whatever, So
if you want to go check that out. That is the the radio traffic
that was going on during the incident in Charlotte. This terrific story where a
known felon is attempting they're attempting to deal with an individual who is a felon
known to be in possession of a gun. Literally the enforcement of the very
laws that people constantly scream that we don't have enough of. That's what they're
going to do. And it turned into Uh, I won't be taken alive
and listen to it because there's a few little nuggets in there, Like I'm
trying to figure out if you listened to the description in the news, it
sounds like the way that the individual ended up on the lawn is it may
have been where they were upstairs and they were shot and then came out of
that window upstairs. So like the visual that it creates in your head is
pretty wild. But I would encourage you to listen to it, and I
want you to listen to the range of emotions from different officers that is not
always uh, indicative of what is happening to them at that moment, and
it just shows you the range of human emotion, but also the ability and
the professionalism that is necessary. Let me let me explain to you what ha
let me let me ask a question. Ross. I'm gonna make you unfortunately
kind of the guinea pig here, but I ran this litmus test to myself.
If you had a radio and all of a sudden he dropped you into
essentially fallojah, and people are opening fire on you with automatic weapons or at
the very least superior firepower based on where they are, and you are pinned
down, are you going to be calm and collected? And how it would
be? Absolutely terrified? Rights frozen, frozen in place and uh, you
know the and the officers. You can tell the majority of officers, even
the ones who themselves were pinned down during this, They're driving concern is their
fellow officers who are literally bleeding out in front of them. And it is
in my mind, the picture paints in my mind is the I made the
full metal jacket reference right where you have you know you you had I can't
remember what what they called him, but the what his nickname was. But
you you had this this marine who is now literally pinned down by this sniper
at the end, and the sniper is essentially using that as an opportunity to
shoot other marines. And that's playing out in the streets of Charlotte, playing
out the streets of anywhere in America. You can't let me explain. Let
me explain this to you though. I don't know if it would have been
functional in this circumstance because I don't know the location of the woman and the
minor, if they were in the house or if they were nearby. But
if they're not in the house, and you know that we need more bomb
bots. Okay, look, AI is gonna do its thing anyway. We
might as well get ours, send something in there. But I understand the
neighbors aren't going to be happy, but something man. But listen, listen
to the radio traffic on there. Get a sense of what's going on.
Try to ask yourself how you'd react when these officers, their single driving emotion
seems to be how much going to get to my guy there? And you
know, then go ahead and dismiss the very, very substantial service that is
provided by law enforcement. And don't sit here and come with what was the
what was the I've saw some really horrible takes. Hey, if you're on
the old cops or bastards, then ask yourself, did you want that dude
on the street who's willing to literally just murder everyone around them if it inconveniences
whatever their criminal enterprise is. Allegedly it's gonna go on trial. But anyway,
we got that for you. And yeah, I'm ahead and fit this
in. I'm telling you what man. Oh, I'm sorry. I was
going to tell you one other thing about what's going on in the university campus.
Sorry, I just I wasn't gonna dip back into the totality of it.
But the whole thing just frustrates me so much. All right. So
so now as arrest are being conducted over at un see, there's a report
of some students marching on the admin building. Well, of course they just
saw Columbia take it over, a bunch of pieces of garbage with you know,
hammers sitting there smashing their way in. They say that now barricades are
going up. So what you think you're gonna take the you get to take
the admin building. I don't know. I'm I think they should have dealt
with this sooner. But I'm glad to see the university officials, even the
ones that people have a problem with because they might have an opinion. I'm
glad to see them that they're doing something, and I, you know what,
I'm gonna go out on a limb. I don't think they'll let them
take the Admin building. I don't think that the interim chancellor, the provo
is gonna put up with that crap. So good luck with that. And
then that begins the news coverage of this, because all the TV stations are
out there and the standard reports are coming out. Let's see, here's w
R A L. What are they stressing in their coverage. They're stressing the
fact that here we go, arrest underway, pro Palestinian protests at U n
C is it is it just pro Palestinian or you can't stand this stuff?
Man. I can't imagine sending my kid do an expensive school like UNC and
then seeing that my kid is sighting with terrorists. It would drive me absolutely
in saye, like there's no way, like oh well, there's a difference
right between the protesters and the and the you know, you're not proteror you're
not like pro hamas well, you sort of are because the people in Palestine
consistently incredibly ridiculous levels like Kim Jong un levels keep voting for hamas. Speaking
of Kim Jong yun, did you see some of the speakers at Columbia arguing
about the benefits of the DPRK No, but I'm not surprised. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, they had people out there going, you know, who's
really got it figured out? Kim Shong un? Right, that was a
little but anyway, digress, No to your point, Yeah, it's insane,
but at poleast, say some of the protesters detained are not this is
all that's in caps students or have affiliation at the university of course, not
because you got pop but you got moon bat? What are the what are
the what are the pop up things? The where people go to a mall
and start singing? Why why am I not remembering flash mob? You got
you got moon bat, flash mobs on demand? You got buses? Why
are there buses outside of there? They're being shipped in like the antief of
people whatever they are they're being shipped in like they were doing the BML protest.
Yeah. Absolutely. And meanwhile you're sitting there and you're like, wow,
they're they're pro palestinting that dude's wearing a Hamas headband. Isn't the video
in the not This is not Ril's. This is one that I saw,
though I haven't looked at all of r l's. This is what I saw
yesterday and I was it Arizona or something whatever whoever the local CBS affiliate.
It's like, you know, we stressed that these are you know, uh,
these are folks who are rooting for Palestine or are wedding peace and freedom,
and I'm like that dude's wearing a Hamas headband. And I just want
to be clear here there. It would be one thing if you've got a
Palestinian flag, although arguably if you keep voting for the same government, there's
not a lot of differential, but it would be the American version of I'm
wearing a mister Miagi headband with the GOP elephant on it or the donkey on
it or the official logo. Right, those are different things. What's crazy
about that too, is when you look at the breakdown because they've done polling
on this, and they say, yeah, you know, not all of
them are four voting for Hamas and Hamas is for you know, the destruction
of Israel and the killing of the Jews. And they go, what's the
second question? Right? Right, right right? They go, okay,
so do you want to vote for Harmas? There's some people over there and
the Godza strip whatever. They say no, they say no. And then
the next question is do you want to the destruction of Israel and do you
want to kill Jews? Yes? And then they high five, right yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's uh his mind
body. And then I saw I was looking at some of the different stuff
where they were trying to figure out how they're going to how they're going to
escalate things there, and like a group of somebody said that they had met
with some of the fellow protesters and they're encouraging folks to come out, and
they had met at the Crunkleton. Do you guys know what the Crunkleton?
And this made me laugh. So if you don't know the Crunkleton, then,
by the way, this is not me besmirching them. I got no
beef with them. They are a really high end, very popular cocktail bar
right there on the main drag in Chapel Hill. I've been in there before,
and there's something really rich to me about people who are are LARPing and
cause playing, as you know, Palestinian freedom fighters who go plan what they're
going to do over a twenty two dollars my tie. So I just I
feel like the experience is not the same as perhaps on the outskirts of Rafa,
where I don't think that they have a high end cocktail bar. But
that's me. I digress. We go to ray stage it because I can't
read the clock, because I'm it's just a bad habit. You just got
to deal with it. So we'll go ahead and get in the weather.
What's going on, sir. I think we'll stay dry today, Casey.
The clouds will increase though there are clouds and sun kind of mixed up right
now across the area and coming into across the mountains to our west. Some
showers may they get here in the triad of this evening tonight across the triangle
isolated showers, maybe a thunder shower. Most of it's probably gonna hold off
until after sunset, maybe just before as you go further west. Today's high
it's very pleasant to low maybe some middle eighties. Tonight will be in the
sixties and some hit misshowers and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. Other than that, I'll
have sun and clouds around and again a lot of dry hours tomorrow. Really
not worried about too much rain and no severe weather. A low eighties and
then sunshine to wrap up the week in the middle to maybe upper eighties,
and we may get some showers and better showers to return over the weekend.
Casey, I know. We talked yesterday briefly about the tornado outbreak that crossed
the central Planes. Now it's between the twenty fifth and twenty eighth, so
that half of two days ago. The survey's complete one hundred and six tornadoes,
with the strongest now being an EF four in Marietta, Oklahoma. Wins
potentially estimated over two hundred miles per hour. The guessterday we mentioned that was
at least the first guest was an e F three, But they've done the
survey and now one e F four from that outbreak, But so far one
hundred and six total tornadoes confirmed and still got two more days of data to
analyze. Oh my, all right, and by the way, if you
see a tornado, hide behind those two brothers who got sucked in and then
let out. Yeah, yeah, geez, that story's amazing. All right,
I got all but thank you very much, appreciate it, and we'll
come back chat with Jeff Bellinger hanging on the morning. Casey stocks advanced yesterday,
but the futures are pointing lower this morning after the government reported that employment
costs increased more than expected in the first quarter. High wages are inflationary.
Now. Futures right now are down one hundred and fourteen points. We get
a new reading on consumer confidence at ten o'clock this morning. Economists think we'll
hear that the Conference Boards index has weakened some over the last month. The
nation's biggest wireless carriers planning to fight fines imposed by the Federal Communications Commission.
The FCC levied fines totaling nearly two hundred million dollars on Verizon AT and T
and T Mobile charging the company shared customers location information without the customer's consent.
The carriers say the sharing intended to support services like roadside assistants and medical alerts.
Was discontinued years ago. NBC Universal is interested in broadcasting National Basketball Association
games. The Wall Street Journal reports Warner Brothers Discovery is hoping to keep the
broadcast rights for its own tt cable network, but NBC is prepared to offer
the league about two and a half billion dollars a year to take over those
rights. Healthcare costs too much, even for Walmart. Walmart is abandoning its
plan to build out a network of low cost health clinics. The venture just
too expensive. Walmart has opened fifty one centers in five states. They will
be closed, and the retailer's telehealth business will be shut down. Walmart also
announcing today it's introducing a new store brand line of food products. The giant
retailer is hoping better Goods will appeal to younger consumers who want affordable, chef
and inspired foods. McDonald's first quarter sales missed expectations, US sales slow to
the start of the year, and Casey Burger King's domestic sales top forecasts in
the first quarter. The chain says its store remodeling program is paying off.
Now it's planning additional investments to revamp even more of its outlets. Casey,
I understand going to Walmart to help stretch your family's food budget, but do
you want to go to a Walmart doctor? Or maybe I'm all completely off
on this. I don't know. I just I Walmart thought it had an
in there, and you know, it started this plan to open low cost
clinics, but it just it's it's it's just too expensive. It wasn't able
to keep the cost down the well and processly. You know, the majority
of their customers are are generally coming in with They're not coming in with top
to your health insurance, which is not a dig on them, but you
know, you got to have a little of the uh, you gotta be
able to spread it around, spread that cost around. So okay, all
right, well, thank you much, Jeff, appreciate it. Okay,
in Casey, you have a good date. Yeah, yeah, Hey,
Ross, would you go to a Walmart doctor? You want to? You
wanna want to roll in and uh, you know, I got a bad
cough and go to doctors, comes in, they throw chicken. I don't
know, I'm in peak physical condition. I'm funny. No, that's that's
true. Didn't you just eat like twenty dollars worth of cookies. I did
stay twenty dollars worth the cookies. I am an adonis. Yea hold on
real quickly we got this's called Mary. What's up? Hey, good morning.
Two things. Apparently history is not being taught anymore. Oh it is,
Yeah, yeah, it is, it is. It's just different history.
So Number two, when my grandfather came over from Poland, he made
my father, my uncles, my aunts, and my grandmother pretend they were
Roman Catholic to avoid persecution. I didn't find this out until his deathbed,
my dad's deathbed, that we were really Jewish. Well, and the irony
too, is that even being Roman Catholic in certain parts of the country in
that era was no was no easy putt so that's what they leaned into.
That's that is wild to learn about your own family there. So yeah,
I'm Mary. They're teaching it, but they they have had to pull.
We had a number recently where they were asking the percentage they do what the
Holocaust was, and it was less than fifty percent under like the age twenty
two or something. That's terrifying. I'm with you so well, thank you,
yeah, thank you for the Yeah, no, you as well.
