WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.440
Nobody. We shouldn't be up.
We should still be reeling from the weekend

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.839
that was of probably not you probably
didn't do a beach trip. Maybe you

3
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.160
did a beach trip. I don't
know. Maybe you went to the mountains,

4
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.199
hung out with your family, you
went to church, went to uh

5
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.239
maybe maybe some of you decided to, hey, that whole hog over there

6
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.280
that needs to be edible, and
you did that thing and then you didn't

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:29.839
invite us. That's fine. You're
just going about your business doing your thing.

8
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:41.159
As was I on Saturday. It
was it was pretty crazy to hear

9
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.679
and think about whatevery you know,
what all of me and my colleagues were

10
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:51.640
up to. And obviously you're going
to this is my version of it.

11
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.200
You have your version of it,
and I'm not going to go with the

12
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.439
you know, the Pearl Harbor.
You know, day lives an infamy thing.

13
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.640
You're more mature than that. You
do talk radio, obviously, you

14
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.840
keep you keep an eye to the
news, but it's easy to be disconnected.

15
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.599
It's easy to be doing one hundred
other things, you know. For

16
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.239
for me, I actually make an
effort, as weird as it sounds,

17
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.640
on Saturdays, because Saturdays is the
Saturday is the only day that I don't

18
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.120
do radio stuff. Friday, obviously
we do a show, but everything,

19
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.799
you know, get all of our
commercials, cut, any promos cut that

20
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:42.640
need to be done, and then
by about early afternoon on Friday, you'll

21
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.840
see I kind of I'll go.
If you follow us on Twitter, and

22
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.920
you should. If you don't,
we will hunt you down. It's at

23
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.480
KC on the radio at k C
the two letters like Kansas City. You'll

24
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.159
see like a volley of tweets after
the show, and that's me going through

25
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.799
and giving everything a once over,
and I can't help myself. I see

26
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.599
stuff and I'm like, ah,
people need to know this. Why wasn't

27
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:16.439
this Why did I not have this
before nine o'clock today? And then the

28
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.479
spiggo just shuts off. You'll notice, I mean, sure the random stuff

29
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.599
will come up, but it's not
until Sunday after lunch where I'm like,

30
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.319
oh, yeah, I have a
job. Oh they want me to do

31
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.039
stuff. And then I cracked the
I cracked the Twitter app or whatever.

32
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.800
It's it's not easy, but you
have to train yourself when you do this,

33
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.599
and I know for many of you
that is a version of your life.

34
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.879
Some of you can't stop and you
send me like super deep political articles

35
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:01.280
at like sat on Saturday, at
like five in the morning, and I'm

36
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:08.159
just like, you need to do
something, anything, not this. And

37
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.800
so by the time you get later
in the day Saturday, I am blissfully

38
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:21.879
unaware of what's happening. But I
take precautions. Obviously many of you do

39
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:28.319
too. You get alerts, you
know, iHeartRadio app. We send alerts

40
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.599
on that thing. So if you
get on there and you you know,

41
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.000
set it up, some notifications can
come in. You may hear breaking news,

42
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.240
you'll hear about some you know,
if we've got a big guest,

43
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:46.280
we'll let you know that kind of
stuff. But that on Saturday is a

44
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.400
really eerie feeling when the phone starts
going off and I'm gonna tell you something

45
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.919
and you're not gonna believe me,
but it's true. Every phone I've ever

46
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.039
had I started doing radio, and
yes, I use the job as a

47
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:11.159
crutch. Doesn't ring. I don't
turn it on. I never turn it

48
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.599
on. My excuse being I'm in
a studio or in a studio setting a

49
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.000
lot, and it can't be making
noise. It can't even be vibrating because

50
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:25.480
it's sitting right here, literally next
to next to the base of my microphone.

51
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.000
I kind of lean it on the
base of the microphone sometimes so I

52
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.319
have a visual on it. And
if that thing started vibrating, that's that's

53
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:40.759
going to be a problem. So
it requires me to visually inspect what's going

54
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.480
on. And it just so happened
that on Saturday afternoon, I was eating

55
00:04:47.560 --> 00:05:00.879
some delicious and I mean delicious Korean
fried rice mm hmm. But it had

56
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.680
the sound bowl sauce on it,
which is a tie thing. We don't

57
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:09.120
need to we don't need to dice. It was good, and I'm in

58
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.199
the restaurant I'm in is busy,
and I sit at the bar. I'm

59
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.839
a bar sitter, so I'm sitting
up at the bar, but I have

60
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.920
a good field of view on everything
that's going on. And you know that

61
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.439
scene in a movie where oh,
and they don't have TVs in the bar

62
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.879
of this restaurant. They there are
some for whatever reason out in the dining

63
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:31.720
room, but not where I'm sitting. And I see that scene in the

64
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:40.319
movie where like like it's a part
like what's the movie swat or whatever.

65
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.879
I don't know why this popped in
my brain, but I watched it recently

66
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.120
where they're all at like a barbecue
and they all they're all Swat team people

67
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.079
and they got their you know,
their spouses and their kids and eh,

68
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:57.439
and then all of a sudden,
everyone starts reaching in their pocket. They

69
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.040
start pulling things out and start looking
at it. They start talking to each

70
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:09.000
other in tables, start talking to
other tables, and the Spidey sense goes

71
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.519
off, right, what happened?
And I'm like, at first, I'm

72
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.800
like, because there's a bunch of
like finals. If you're into soccer,

73
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:24.720
this was your weekend with Spain playing
England. England. I'm sorry, I'm

74
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.079
not super into soccer on that side
in the in the US, but as

75
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.600
part of like the Latin America One
Copa, it was Columbia versus Argentina,

76
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:44.319
which I understand is a big deal, but it was those were Sunday.

77
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.120
Those were yesterday. So immediately I'm
like, if dawned on me, I'm

78
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:55.199
like, something bad happened. And
I grabbed my phone because I'm not a

79
00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:00.399
phone reader while I'm even when i'm
eating, because I'm not a tween.

80
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:06.439
And then I saw it. What
happened at the Trump rally, and it

81
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:14.680
spun into a wild next few minutes, and I'm sure it did for you

82
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.519
as well. What happened? Trump
was shot? Somebody says there's blood,

83
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:25.160
He's down. Is he down because
he's down because somebody shot him? Is

84
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.959
he down? Because that's what Secret
Service does, right? Sometimes they get

85
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.439
you down. He down on his
own accord. And then he goes to

86
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:42.519
Bruder film on this thing. You
watch it and it's wild, the visual

87
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:48.920
is crazy. And then the analysis
starts. And that's what we're going to

88
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.439
try to do this morning. We're
gonna do the analysis. We're gonna talk

89
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.800
about the ways others did the analysis, the way that some couldn't help them

90
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:05.959
so, and we're gonna start at
the very basic part of this to try

91
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.240
to unpack as much as we can. And along the way, I want

92
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:18.279
to hear from you. Try to
say something smart or interesting or new or

93
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.800
crazy. Don't swear, and I
think we'll get along. Okay. For

94
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.680
me and my colleague spread all over
instantly, it required us to you know,

95
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.559
kick into what we do, which, even with a bunch of seasoned

96
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.639
radio people, is not easy because
your head's elsewhere. You're doing that.

97
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.320
Ross is not here today because he
had he had to go, and I

98
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.639
know he posted about it on on
on both the show account and his account.

99
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.799
One of his wife's relatives passed away
and so they were going to Tennessee

100
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.159
to go be with the family and
go to the funeral and all of that.

101
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.919
So he'll be back Wednesday. But
you know that space, that time,

102
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.000
that divide, that that doesn't stop
it. I uh, when our

103
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.679
program director who is there, say
hello, Sir Trevor, Hello, Hello,

104
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.080
that's Trevor. Trevor was trying to
get himself a DAP on a Saturday

105
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.039
afternoon. I can respect that.
Is that usual for you? Saturday nap,

106
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.480
sir, Saturday and Sunday? Oh
beautiful? Yeah, dude, if

107
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.279
you want to start doing mornings,
you can make it a weekday thing too.

108
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:39.039
Oh it's amazing you're you're taking a
DAP and I don't, I don't,

109
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.240
I don't. Did you wake up
on your own? Was your phone

110
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.360
making noise? Did somebody wake you
up by the fifth call? Like the

111
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.240
phone vibrating? Woke me up?
Okay? All right? And you know,

112
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.279
instinctively, because you're in radio,
you're like some bad's happening, right,

113
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:00.279
Okay, that feeling in your stomach, that's that's challenger exploded stuff.

114
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:07.000
That's all of it. And then
it just begins. To quote Mark Wattney

115
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:15.320
from The Martian, you just begin
and I have my brain has I had

116
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.799
trouble sleeping last night Saturday night,
Not as much because I was I was

117
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:28.000
headed to a party with some friends, but found found a way to make

118
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.039
me sleep. But the fact remains
that I've got so much I'm gonna try

119
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.519
to bottle it into the next two
hours in forty three minutes, and we'll

120
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.960
see where we go from there.
And I'd love you to hang out with

121
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.279
us and do that. The phone
numbers eight eight eight nine three four seven

122
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.960
eight seven four, and where we're
gonna start. We're gonna start with twelve

123
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.240
year old me. Yes, I'm
gonna make it about me, but you're

124
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.639
gonna understand why in just a few
minutes, you're on a CaCO Day radio

125
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.639
program. By the way, unless
a nurse has just come into your hospital

126
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:13.080
room where you have stirred from a
coma. First, congrats, glad that's

127
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.120
working out for you. You're probably
aware of what happened in Pennsylvania over the

128
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.080
weekend, a Trump rally and a
town called Butler. It is north of

129
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:30.399
Pittsburgh, pre standard stuff. Pittsburgh. Very similar from a size perspective,

130
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:37.879
a socioeconomic perspective to what we call
home here in North Carolina. Triad Triangle

131
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.559
and just a bunch of folks like
you and me want to go see Trump

132
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:52.200
and they show up and some find
themselves in the Garnish section. There's other

133
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.919
names for it, but that's the
one I've heard that I like, the

134
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:05.039
Garnish section. And the Garnish section
is a really important place at a campaign

135
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.720
rally. It's the visual, it's
the backdrop. It's the background, and

136
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:18.399
it's interesting and very telling to see
who's in the Garnish section, because sometimes

137
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.559
it's thematic, right it's a hey, look a bunch of military people behind

138
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.879
and then insert candidate. Oh look
at all the kids, look at the

139
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.159
Native Americans because that's the theme of
the speech, and you get the gist

140
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.159
and people get asked to be in
there. I had a conversation with a

141
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:45.720
woman I know herd her friend showed
up. They're very energetic, they're easy

142
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.399
on the eyes. They were asked
to be in the Garnish section when Trump

143
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.480
did that rally at Dorton Arena in
twenty sixteen, and they were beside themselves,

144
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.120
They're like, hey, we got
look, we got super good seats.

145
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.200
You ever got upgraded on a flight
or at a concert or something,

146
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:11.399
that's amazing, But also with what
happened on Saturday, it's dangerous. As

147
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.840
a former fire chief found himself in
the gardners section, and I don't know

148
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.399
how he got there. If that
was his ticket, he showed up early,

149
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:26.320
they asked a group to move in, it doesn't matter, and I

150
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.840
bet he was ecstatic and whoever he
was with just over the moon man.

151
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.799
And then mid speech, as Trump
is referencing I don't know if it's a

152
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:48.039
campaign sign or I think it was
a sign somebody had, and then he

153
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:56.559
referenced another visual aid which talked about
immigration stuff and border stuff. He ever

154
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:05.200
so slightly kind of repositioned himself,
and it's clear as day on the video.

155
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:16.120
It's clear as day that audibly Trump
hears and the people around him here.

156
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.200
What is unmistakable if you have ever
you don't even have to have shot

157
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:28.960
a gun, if you've been in
nature during hunting season and in the distance,

158
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.960
you hear a firearm retort and then
a bunch of them. And sometimes

159
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.919
people say, oh, well,
it might be fireworks. I I don't

160
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:46.879
know how to explain it on the
radio. It's not fire fire. They

161
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:54.639
just they some sound similar, most
sound different. And you saw an instant,

162
00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:03.559
uncommunicated group reaction as people know that
a that a bullet has passed through

163
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.120
there. And it could be because
the person near you is hit and you

164
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.080
just happen to be looking in that
direction. It could be because you were

165
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.399
hit. But there's there's more than
just the round. There's the velocity.

166
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.279
I don't know how to describe it. The you don't have you know,

167
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.559
you don't have to be hit by
a bullet to be killed by a bullet.

168
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.240
Hang on, everybody. Uh,
I'm gonna read you a tweet I

169
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.639
sent yesterday, and I'm gonna let
you know where we're going. But I

170
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.600
want to I want to know where
your thoughts too. And yes, I

171
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.399
see many of your thoughts and uh, according to my email center around some

172
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.279
of the coverage and uh yeah,
yeah, we're gonna get into that.

173
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.200
But also we're gonna when we get
into it, I'm gonna I'm gonna cut

174
00:15:52.200 --> 00:16:00.440
a wider berth than I normally do, because things done in rapid society in

175
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.120
an emergency situation need to be evaluated
as such, and you're only as good

176
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:10.159
as what the information you're armed with
at that time. You're writing a story

177
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.759
about something, you got a deadline
later that day. That allows you,

178
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:19.200
if you're worth your salt, to
gather information and hopefully make sure it's accurate

179
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.039
and go from there. It's not
a little better informed, but when you're

180
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.200
standing there, you're armed with what's
in your brain. Man, and I

181
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:33.519
guess whatever hand signals your team can
get you. So the thing that is

182
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:40.120
normally really messy is anything having to
do with firearms. There is a distinct

183
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:45.600
lack of understanding among most of the
media of firearms, and I mean not

184
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:52.639
real complex stuff Like I got into
a debate over a over what's a good

185
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:57.360
carry gun for bear country with like
two different people this weekend, because you

186
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:03.920
know, that's what you do.
And you know was somebody tweeted or are

187
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.559
commented on one of the tweets and
somebody else saw it in real time,

188
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.880
and I was talking to that person
and they had a thought and I had

189
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.119
a thought, and you know,
that conversation was able to happen because this

190
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.880
is literally a thing that I thought
about and put into practice. And the

191
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.960
answer is complicated. Right, It's
easy to make some guy go, oh,

192
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.799
I'm going to carry a fifty cow
desert eagle. I have one of

193
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.160
those, and I would never use
that as the last resort bear gun.

194
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:40.319
If I had other choices. When
I was a kid, he had id

195
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.720
lean into a four to sixty mag
Look up that thing, man, that's

196
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.720
a wristbusting machine. Now I tell
a guy to get a glock forty ten

197
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.400
millimeter good gun. That long slide
twenty thing they tried. That didn't work,

198
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.319
not for me. And if you
understand that, great. So when

199
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.319
I'm watching what's happening, and you're
watching what's happening, what is your thoughts

200
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:11.920
once you realize that somebody is firing
rounds downrange and at a former president and

201
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:17.880
hitting people based on you know,
the initial reporting, you're thinking that movie

202
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:23.160
shooter right from the distances you're talking
about where he's planning that, where they've

203
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.039
got Wahlberg down there, and they
all, right, we need somebody who

204
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.160
can make a thousand yard shot.
We need to shoot from a mile away.

205
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:36.799
And he's you know he's got he's
checking windage and and it's hollywood.

206
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:41.559
I understand that, but it it
in our mind. It is is not

207
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:48.200
comprehensible. It is not is not
it's not even thought of that you would

208
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:55.559
be inside of your scope distance for
big game hunters in the West, And

209
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.279
to me, that's what was so
striking. So I thought, and what

210
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:02.839
I mean by that is a hundred
more than thirty yards. I don't want

211
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:10.400
to sound cocky if I if you
asked me to make a standing shot,

212
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:18.920
no rest standing with a rifle I'm
comfortable with with a with a round uncomfortable

213
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.559
with and shoot bowling pins at one
hundred yards, I'll hit them more often

214
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:30.039
than not. I'm not bragging that
is That is a shot I'm comfortable with.

215
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.279
And I'll you get twenty you give
me a two twenty three, three

216
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.799
oh eight, three hundred some some. The flatness of the shot almost doesn't

217
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.920
matter at that point. We're not
getting into drop charts that are that matter.

218
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.200
If you have that thing scoped at
one hundred yards or sighted at one

219
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.519
hundred yards, one hundred and thirty
yards is is not a long shot.

220
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:59.160
I know it does sound a long
shot if you hunt tree stand in woods.

221
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.680
But where I grew up, every
rifle that I might hit a deer,

222
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.119
an antelope, ernoque was sighted at
two hundred yards. That was it,

223
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:14.039
that was your that was how we
sighted firearms. And so to make

224
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.240
one hundred and thirty yards shot,
I wouldn't adjust a thing. I'm still

225
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.839
within the happy zone there. I'm
not going to be too high. And

226
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.359
so if when I hear it's one
hundred and thirty yards, I can't balance

227
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:33.759
that against the the thoughts that what
we would normally think the distance somebody would

228
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.759
have to be to be able to
fire a shot, and not from a

229
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:44.680
dug in secret chamber, hidden in
the side of a building, or an

230
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.640
earth you know, like carved out
of the earth, some burn that had

231
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:56.200
been constructed, but rather the this
guy was prone. He was able to

232
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:02.720
take what is probably the best.
He was able to lay flat. I

233
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.119
don't know what he used as the
rest, but he was able to position

234
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:14.519
himself flat in the open, albeit
at an elevated position, and take his

235
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:19.880
time and get centered and get ready. And I understand that there was an

236
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:25.599
interaction with a sheriff's employee or sheriff's
deputy. I don't know if it's a

237
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.839
deputy it says somebody from the Sheriff's
office. I'm assuming it was, and

238
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:34.200
that obviously forced his hand to hurry
things up. But if you're going to

239
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.640
make a shot, if it's on
a deer or a person or a target,

240
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:45.599
he's literally in the best position.
So everything is going his way that

241
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.759
one hundred and thirty yards. The
wind was not a substantial factor, and

242
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:55.319
it wouldn't be. He should be
able to hit a dinner plate all day

243
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:04.039
if he's reasonably competent. And the
fact that somebody was able to get in

244
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:11.920
that position, hold that position and
be able to fire off shots, I

245
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:17.279
still can't wrap my head around it. And you know, Secret Service has

246
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:22.440
a tough job, But that seems
like as to the to the guy,

247
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:29.400
you know, just Monday morning quarterbacking
this that seems outside of the bounds of

248
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.279
what I would think the person of
the security bubble would would even allow.

249
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.839
For now, Pittsburgh's gonna be a
tougher putt because it's it's a bowl,

250
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.720
right three we've heard called three River
Stadium, Right, there's a reason for

251
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:48.480
that. There's three rivers that come
together, and so it's and if you've

252
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.240
ever been to Pittsburgh, it it
has It's got the bluffs up around.

253
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:57.240
Hell, they have cable cars there
for tourists and stuff. So if you're

254
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:02.519
down below that now he again he's
in Butler. But if you're if you're

255
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:08.240
anywhere there and you're in one of
the places where most of the towns are,

256
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.039
there are higher positions all around you, albeit from a much further distance.

257
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.119
This guy was one hundred and thirty
yards. I wouldn't outside. He

258
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:25.200
was outside of the security bubble.
Well, you're never outside of it because,

259
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.480
as you'll come to find out,
they have people out there that are

260
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.279
eyeballing this stuff. But they didn't
see him, so people saw him.

261
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.240
So people saw this dude shimmy up
that building a spider man, and they

262
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:45.119
contacted law enforcement, which is why
the sheriffs responded. And a sheriff's sheriff's

263
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:51.799
employee or deputy or whatever whatever this
individual was shimmied up a ladder I guess

264
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:57.839
made visual contact with crooks, which
I try not to use these idiots' names,

265
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.279
but and had, and the rifle
was pointed at him. So he

266
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.240
did what I think most people would
do at that point, because he doesn't

267
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.519
have a he's up that la he
says, he's not up there with a

268
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:12.640
weapon in his hand. He goes, uh no, And then I don't

269
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:18.039
know if he slid down or jumped
off or what. And at that moment,

270
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.079
the shooter turned around, and that's
when the shot was fired, according

271
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.960
to witnesses. So people saw something
and they said something. And then I

272
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:33.279
started thinking back to twelve year old
me. Twelve year old me so excited

273
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.519
because twelve year old me was when
I first got my firearms, that's right,

274
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.559
And like many of you, I
cut my teeth on a Mossburg shotgun,

275
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.279
three different chokes, twelve gauge.
That thing was a you know,

276
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:51.839
for kid, that thing's a punisher
man, but you shoot everything. And

277
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:57.079
my first rifle was a twenty two
Yeah, rim Fire Baby twenty two Marlin,

278
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:00.720
and I think that was probably the
first rifle that many of you had.

279
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:07.720
It's insanely popular. And I that
was the summer if you didn't want

280
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.640
to be around me, because I
had no time for you. I was

281
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:17.039
out there shooting everything. Don't or
I would shoot neighbors, pets or anything.

282
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:22.880
I'm not that psycho. But the
point is the point is that.

283
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:29.039
It was then that I started familiarize
myself with firearms before then, right,

284
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:33.319
because you get to shoot if relative's
gone at the range, or you got

285
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:38.480
to police brass. You were so
excited, and I quickly became pretty adept

286
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.720
with that thing. And then it
was on to the big boys. And

287
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.519
you notice I called that a rim
fire. I started to educate myself as

288
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.759
to why do you guys know why
it's called a rim fire. Most you

289
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.160
probably do, but if you don't, it's because the the whatever strikes the

290
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:59.240
round, it could be a firing
pin. There's other options hits. If

291
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.440
you'll look on the back of the
bullet of a of a round that has

292
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:07.160
been shot of any caliber, you'll
see an indentation with a twenty two long

293
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:14.599
rifle. The it's the primer material
is actually around the rim and not in

294
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.640
the center where a primer sits on
a larger round. That's what ignites the

295
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:23.839
powder. Although the very first twenty
two twenty twos they didn't have powder.

296
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:30.440
They were French. I'll let you
make your own judgment, and so the

297
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.200
primer itself would would provide the velocity
for the round and they would shoot him

298
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.880
indoors, which try that in your
basement and see what your mom says,

299
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.720
don't, don't, don't do that. But it was And then right around

300
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:47.839
the time of the Civil War they
fail, Hey, what if we put

301
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.039
some powder in here? They were
still rim fire, but it ignited the

302
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:55.880
powder that way. And in fact, there were there were Civil War soldiers

303
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:02.680
found who were found to be in
possession of these of these rounds, even

304
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.200
though they didn't have an apparatus to
propel them, they actually physically had them

305
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.319
because they were a novelty. Look
at this thing, we other pack and

306
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:21.079
musket span wild times, dude.
And then the evolution from there into the

307
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:25.440
center fire cartridge that most are familiar
with. And for me, that evolution

308
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:32.079
for twenty two and Mossburg twelve gage
led to a Mauser German Mauser thirty odd

309
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.400
six and a dropping a drop chart
nightmare when you get out too far,

310
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.240
the velocity of that round. After
even if you have incited a two hundred

311
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.799
gets dumb. You had another one
hundred yards, you get seven inches.

312
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:52.000
You had more than that. You're
talking almost two feet. But I murdered

313
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:57.319
everything with that rifle, and a
bunch of other people did, because if

314
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.920
we had hunters come out and they're
rifle got damaged, I would offer it

315
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:07.240
up variable scope and with that thing
in my hands. If you were a

316
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.440
coyote and I saw you within three
hundred maybe even four hundred yards, you

317
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.960
weren't a coyote anymore, and I
could do that. Rest across the hood

318
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.519
of my truck, a fence post, you name it, and get in

319
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:26.079
a comfortable enough position and if the
conditions were okay to make that shot,

320
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:29.799
and I could do it very quickly
because they don't stick around when they see

321
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.319
you. But if I'm driving I
see one out in the field, and

322
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.200
especially where we got calves, that's
bad news, mister coyote. You're not

323
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:42.519
shopping at act me anymore. So
just wrapping your hand. I know I'm

324
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.839
taking my time, but I'm going
to peel this onion for three hours today

325
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:53.960
because there's a lot to get to. So from the distance to the position

326
00:28:55.240 --> 00:29:02.200
with the shooter, it made me
start to analyze this and in a morbid

327
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:06.200
way. And the morbid way was
how did he miss? And the factor

328
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:12.960
I can't in my mind add to
this is what he was shooting at.

329
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:21.480
I don't know how that interrupts your
basic setup and and trigger pull right,

330
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:27.039
most of us have a most of
us have a process, even if we

331
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:33.039
can't verbalize it when we're getting ready
to fire a gun, or if you

332
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:38.519
don't, you should. You've heard
squeeze the trigger, fire on the exhale

333
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:42.519
right, breathe in, and as
you're exhaling, squeeze the trigger. Don't

334
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:47.880
chirk it, squeeze it because you
risk moving the weapon. But with a

335
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.160
heavy rifle, and this was an
ar platform, it's no different than that

336
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:55.599
mouser I just talked about. It
looks different and if you showed it to

337
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.279
your average gun grabber, they'd be
like that would's scarier than that. One

338
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.640
works the exact same. There are
almost zero differences. And the functionality of

339
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:11.640
this versus that. And as you
set up, even if you're having to

340
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.480
do it in a speedier manner,
and we'll get away from the fact that

341
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:22.000
he's shooting at Trump, that deer
is getting ready to move. I've been

342
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:27.519
in those positions, and you hasten
the process to the extent you can,

343
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:37.200
but you do the things necessary to
make a shot. And even with the

344
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.359
speed up of law enforcement on him
and what he's shooting at, the two

345
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:48.759
factors I can't necessarily fully apply.
I still think I make that shot,

346
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:53.559
but then I started thinking, well, what is he aiming at? And

347
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:57.400
that's where I think we start to
deviate. And I'm gonna call it the

348
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:04.160
video game influence, and I don't
want to just pin it on younger people,

349
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.519
but you know, the younger you
are, the higher likelihood that you've

350
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:17.599
spent some of your days playing a
game where you're shooting stuff, and the

351
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:26.359
incentives within those games I think can
give an inaccurate understanding of what you need

352
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:32.400
to be shooting at. And that
part of this we'll get into. I'm

353
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:34.799
going to read you this tweet real
quick because this is where my mind went

354
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.279
to give you a roadmap for where
we're going. It says, random Sunday

355
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.440
thoughts getting to fire prone shots from
one hundred and thirty yards is incomprehensible.

356
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.640
That's where we are now. If
you call Trump literally hitler and now you're

357
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:55.920
glad he's okay, make that make
sense to me and Joe Biden. Remember

358
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.640
we talked about what happens if something
happens on a moment's notice what it This

359
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:07.839
was the softest test, and I
don't think it went well, plus your

360
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.480
calls. We'll get into it next. Hang on, I don't even I'm

361
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:15.119
not even working off a prep packet
right now. I had nothing. I

362
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:21.839
have some I have some details in
front of me. But that's a good

363
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:23.559
Jeff, that's a good point.
I'm gonna we will all laugh at your

364
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:30.359
email coming up here because that is
funny. So I'm not gonna do nine.

365
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:35.519
But I I also am kind of
talking to you now because I want

366
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:38.000
to address what somebody called in and
said, because I gave this some thought

367
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.759
and I want to answer him and
give him an answer. So what was

368
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.799
the gist of what the caller said
that you should not be giving advice on

369
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:51.079
how to have a better shot?
Correct? Yes, and and and I

370
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:52.960
want to be I want to be
abundantly clear. I thought about this,

371
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:57.440
I believe it or not. Sometimes
I do think about some of the stuff.

372
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:02.720
I say, Trevor, doesn't that, but you should. And here

373
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:08.240
here's the thing. I get it. Like I I don't want anyone who

374
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:12.359
uh who's gonna go do bad stuff. I don't. I don't want to

375
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:17.000
be the one who helped them on
their journey. But the basics of of

376
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:25.759
UH setting a round down range right. This is you could click through a

377
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.519
website having nothing to do with it
and and just keep clicking a link to

378
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:31.519
link to link. You ever do
that as a kid? Seehere? You

379
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:37.160
give from A to B and and
end up with an advice video in like

380
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:42.240
two seconds. This is not this
is not secret stuff. And I and

381
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.680
something outweighed for me, and the
reason that I have so gone down this

382
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:52.559
road so delicately and spent such amount
of time. I want everyone listening to

383
00:33:52.599 --> 00:34:01.480
me, even those who have never
pulled a trigger, understand how dead or

384
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:10.840
grievously injured Trump should be. You
take that out of context, whatever,

385
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:16.400
then your scum, you understand what
I'm saying. I want everyone to understand

386
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:22.079
and not be lost in this that
a prone shooter with a firearm that they

387
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:27.800
are familiar with. At one hundred
and thirty yeard, I'm not even getting

388
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:32.480
into a scope situation. You'd iron
sight that bad boy at that distance.

389
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:42.119
So I'm trying to figure out why
he isn't what happened And there's two things

390
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:47.480
I come to one, as I
have described his whole his routine got messed

391
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:51.519
up, he got hurried, His
breathing is going to be off. At

392
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:58.280
that point, your adrenaline is rushing. So that's factor number one. Factor

393
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:05.920
number two is what I'm going to
and this is me speculating. This is

394
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:12.920
I call it the video game mentality, and I've seen it manifest before and

395
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.559
usually it manifests at the range.
Right, you're out there with your buddies.

396
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:21.599
Any of you ever have a gangster
shootoff? You ever do that?

397
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:28.760
Ah? I mean my old part
of Radio Buddy, we would go out

398
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.599
and do a gangster shootoff, right, And that's where you take your pistol

399
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:37.760
and you turn it sideways and you
elevate it up above your head like you're

400
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:44.960
buy them. Try to hit a
target like that. That's unsafe. No,

401
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.519
it's not. You're still following all
the basic safety procedures, but you're

402
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:52.320
firing the weapon in a way that
is insanely hard to hit the target.

403
00:35:52.360 --> 00:36:00.840
If you hit the target in our
gangster shootoffs, you probably won. So

404
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:04.039
that's where we're going. That's in
the video game pop culture mentality. What

405
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:07.920
I call video game mentality is how
many of you, or whether it's you

406
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:13.239
or you've seen your kid play it
or whatever, have have seen a video

407
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:17.079
game or played a video game where
when you shoot something or someone and you

408
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:22.639
should have been the head, you
get more points head shot or you get

409
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:29.480
that, you just get the thing
goes head shot, and so there's there's

410
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:32.960
like dopamine attached to it, and
before you know it, everyone thinks or

411
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.559
you see you see a grizzled cop
at the police range, right, and

412
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:42.760
he's barely hanging on and you just
won't listen to the captain And he's at

413
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.840
the range and he puts eight,
he groups eight at like in in two

414
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:52.519
inches in the middle of this dude's
head. That's not where police are shooting.

415
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.199
That's not where you should be shooting
center mass. You've heard it,

416
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.800
that's where you should be shooting that. Don't get me wrong. I once

417
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.280
you get into people who shoot for
a living, that's a different thing entirely.

418
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:08.400
But for you me, all right, double long heart, that's what

419
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:14.280
I want when I go deer hunting. Give me, give me a double

420
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:17.840
long heart shot all day. And
so you train yourself that that's where you

421
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:23.239
shoot. But if you have this
idea that you have to shoot somebody in

422
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:30.760
the head, you are now limiting
the possibility that you're gonna hit them greatly,

423
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:37.440
limiting it so now judging by the
fact that the round pass close enough

424
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:42.440
that all of these people reacted,
And this point needs to be made.

425
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.639
It's not just the sound in the
distance. By the time you hear that

426
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:52.880
sound the bullet. The reason the
bullet is making that sound is because it's

427
00:37:52.920 --> 00:38:00.119
traveling faster than the speed of sound, and you have the gunpowder and all

428
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.280
of that, right, it's breaking
the sound barrier to do what it's doing.

429
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:08.239
So it's why if you ever watch
a hunting video, if you ever

430
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:13.079
watch guys out hunting and you're getting
that scope view, you may see the

431
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.639
animal fall before you actually hear it, depending on where the positioning is.

432
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:22.880
Okay, so one of two options
is out there. One he did shoot

433
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:30.760
for center mass, and he's so
bad he so badly placed the shot or

434
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.880
jerked the rifle up that that the
shot went where it went. I don't

435
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.880
believe that. I believe it's shooting
for the head. And maybe he thought

436
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.920
he had to shoot for the head
because Trump was wearing bodies That president's probably

437
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:46.920
wearing body armor. Maybe maybe not. I don't know. I think he

438
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.159
was shooting for the head. And
then I have to go, well,

439
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:52.920
why are you shooting for the head
dummy. And the only thing I can

440
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.360
conclude, if it's not that body
armor thought is he thought that's where you

441
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.239
shoot people, and it is a
place you could shoot people. But that's

442
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:05.679
not that's not really going to tell
you if they're training you with a firearm

443
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.599
in a situation where you may have
to shoot somebody. Harley, Ermi's not

444
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:14.159
banging down the range screaming at you
because you're not putting putting headshots downfield.

445
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.400
Where would you get that idea?
You get that idea because for me,

446
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:24.159
you played Golden Eye and he loved
Whack and your buddy Mike in the uh

447
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:28.559
in the head in for your sniper
Pisi. I was that guy. I

448
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:31.719
was a proximity mind guy. I'm
not a coward, but you know I

449
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:42.760
get me a nest and have some
fun. And also yeah it was.

450
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.199
So it's all of these things adding
up. And the third thing is there

451
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:51.719
is you can go to the video
the way Trump turned to look at something,

452
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:52.800
Andy go, well, why would
you when you turn to look at

453
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:58.280
something? Why would that necessarily be
problematic? And for that, I want

454
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:00.519
you to try and exercise that I
try yesterday. I want you to be

455
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:06.679
in a standing position facing forward at
something, but it's something that defines your

456
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:08.639
position. So it could be a
podium, it could be you could be

457
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:13.360
standing on a matt, like a
little little bath matter or something, and

458
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:17.159
I want you to turn your b
I want you to reference something to your

459
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:22.679
right or your left, and watch
what happens with your center of where you're

460
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.800
lined up. Your head may turn, but we have a natural inclination to

461
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:30.880
move our shoulders and the and and
the the mass of our body the opposite

462
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.719
direction to compensate for it, and
it has the effect of kind of pulling

463
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:42.239
you in the other direction. It's
hard to determine exactly if that's what happened,

464
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:51.199
but it may have saved his life. So yes, I spent a

465
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.320
lot of time on this, and
I understand that I'm not here to teach

466
00:40:53.320 --> 00:41:00.159
people how to go out and snipe
folks. But I think that the thing

467
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:07.320
the media does a poor job of
is explaining this to folks who don't have

468
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:12.519
any knowledge of firearms, shooting any
of the rest, and so those folks

469
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:21.639
do not appreciate how insane it was
that a prone sniper gained access outside of

470
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:27.440
a security bubble to a President in
a shooting distance that I would bet you

471
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:31.320
twenty dollars I could hit a plate
and win your twenty dollars every time distance.

472
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:37.000
And this was with a firearm he
was familiar with and a round that

473
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.400
likely was around that has You don't
even have to compensate for it that distance

474
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:47.199
two two, three, three h
eight something similar. I feel that that's

475
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:52.239
the importance of this. Okay,
all right, let's get to the phones.

476
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.960
Donna, thank you for hanging on. It's just one of those mornings.

477
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:58.599
What's up. That's cool, Good
morning, Casey, good morning.

478
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:02.559
Two things, just one thing out? Uh. He said, there's three

479
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.559
things that was the reason why he
was he wasn't hit. No, the

480
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.719
third one was the trump, the
Trump turning. The second was the sheriff

481
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:15.639
spooking. Uh there, and the
third was the selection of where he was

482
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:22.599
shooting. It was a fourth okay, all right, and that's divine intervention.

483
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:27.920
Fair enough. Yeah, I'm going
to let's say, I'm going over

484
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:34.480
the technical side of it. So
right, So, the the which we're

485
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.480
talking about a bullet that can pass
by someone and kill him. It's just

486
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:46.039
a point fifty Browning machine gun.
And it says the pressure and vacuum created

487
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:52.320
by the bullet as it passes something
or someone can cause instantaneous death. Yes,

488
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:58.360
and you know, we've had people
killed by blanks. They have blanks

489
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:02.920
in a gun and they they yeah, including famous Hollywood people, and the

490
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:07.719
blank they don't realize that the amount
of pressure that's going to be discharged from

491
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:13.519
the from the gas release is enough
to kill you. And uh so yeah,

492
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:15.840
all right, all right, just
let me go have a wonderful day.

493
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:20.800
Yeah, you too, appreciate it. All right, let's grab Janet.

494
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:24.880
We'll make this our angry woman segment. What's up, Janet? You

495
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:34.559
mind if I call it that?
All right? Right? Yeah, so,

496
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:40.239
yeah, I agree with the congressman. I believe it was said it's

497
00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:49.880
the democratic speech and sundiary speech and
oh yeah, right, we're gonna we're

498
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.239
gonna get into that. We're gonna
get into I I just wanted to get

499
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.880
the technical stuff washed over. Now
we're going to get into the media and

500
00:43:54.920 --> 00:44:00.480
the rhetoric. Yeah, he's definitely
right. It's the demo press and the

501
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.519
leastest top propaganda mill. But if
you think back, I mean, as

502
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:08.960
far as I can remember, ever
since Lincoln, historically it's been the last

503
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:15.000
who has done things like that,
or the CIA. Yeah, yeah,

504
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:20.280
I mean, I mean Lincoln obviously, if you know, if you want

505
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.719
to get into a pure political example, Lincoln would be a good place to

506
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:30.159
start. So I can't disagree with
you there. That was definitely Uh.

507
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:35.360
That was about politics, and the
politics of the Daves was more than just

508
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:39.519
slavery. It was the the what
was what was happening in the South?

509
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:45.719
Government? That what it was well
and and and and it pushed in,

510
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:52.159
It pushed in a thank you for
the calor jenet, It pushed in austerity,

511
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:57.440
uh, to the extremes within the
South, because your infrastructure is gone,

512
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:04.039
remember Sherman, he didn't leave anything
man, and so your infrastructure is

513
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:12.559
gone, your apparatus for production is
is gone. To yes, to whittle

514
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:17.119
it down to such course terms,
but you know that was not the That

515
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:23.159
was not the majority of what the
way that Southerners made their living right,

516
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:31.840
it was it was ancillary stuff.
It was it was other other things that

517
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:36.280
uh that that continue to fund the
South. There was other agricultural pursuits that

518
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:40.960
had nothing to do with slavery,
and the apparatus for milling, that shipping,

519
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.480
that packing, that the the you
were not in a position to be

520
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:50.880
able to trade all of these things. All of these things added up there,

521
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:57.199
and it all culminated with the assassination
of Lincoln in that theater, who,

522
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.800
by the way, is the very
same individual who found to the Secret

523
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:04.719
Service. If you don't know that
now, it was to stop counterfeiting,

524
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:09.480
which had become a huge problem.
But that's why there was this transitionary role.

525
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:17.719
The Secret Service still serves today in
those dual capacities. So from there

526
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.800
we get into the why. And
we don't maybe know all of the why,

527
00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:30.519
but I got time to fill,
so we'll speculate. Okay, all

528
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.400
right, we'll do it as best
we can in an informed way as possible,

529
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:38.119
and I think we'll probably at the
end of the day get a few

530
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:43.559
of these right, and we'll start
that journey next hang on CaCO Day radio

531
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.679
program. And so we got into
the mechanics there. I could do a

532
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:52.400
whole show just on the mechanics of
all of this, but I want,

533
00:46:52.639 --> 00:47:05.119
I want there to be no doubt
that anybody listening that how insanely that should

534
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:12.760
have gone the other way because of
all conditions weapons everybody, And I don't

535
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:15.360
care if you're twenty year old who
doesn't know stuff. If if you've shot

536
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.920
that and he had shot that,
fire him it was his father's, is

537
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:24.079
what they're reporting. He was familiar
with it. The fact that we're talking

538
00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:30.320
about what we're talking about with Trump
with his ear hit and or as the

539
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:36.480
press says, Trump says his ear
was hit. I'm not I understand everybody's

540
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.519
on edge. Hang on. If
you've listened to this show for any length

541
00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:46.000
of time, and especially during the
Trump administration, I had this. I

542
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:53.400
had a ceiling right and I would
constantly reference it, and the ceiling was

543
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:59.800
literally hitler. I don't mean I'm
saying it was literally hitler. I mean

544
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:07.079
the two words literally hitler. That
because once you've gone someplace in the world

545
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:10.000
of politics, there's no coming back. And you see it. You see

546
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:17.159
it evidenced in rhetoric, you see
it evidenced in action. Harry Reid's decision

547
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:22.159
to uh the nuclear options it was
called that not just because it was a

548
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:27.880
scary thing he could talk about on
the news, because it fundamentally changed the

549
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:36.519
process within the Senate for confirmations,
and nobody wanted to touch it because they

550
00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:42.559
realized that they may not necessarily always
be in charge. And his colleagues were.

551
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:46.800
There were many colleagues telling Harry Reid, who was the individual who had

552
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:51.599
the power, the loan power to
make that decision. If you do that,

553
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:58.760
this is going to get bad.
And you, I know a lot

554
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:00.119
of people are like, hey,
thanks, thank you Donald Trump for those

555
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:07.599
Supreme Court nominees and Chevron and abortion
and all this stuff. Yay, thank

556
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:15.559
Harry Reid. That's the nexus of
this thing, man, because Harry Reid

557
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:19.679
did that. And when Harry Reid
did that, it wasn't just for federal

558
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:25.559
judges, It wasn't just for various
appointees, cabinet members, things like that.

559
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:31.000
It was a wholesale rejection of the
norms and the process, which isn't

560
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:38.199
constitutionally bound in its specifics, but
the process is, and and it provided

561
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:45.440
that flexibility that Congress realized would be
problematic unless they had a defined way of

562
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.000
doing it. The way back in
the eighteen hundreds. They found a defined

563
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.440
way, and then they groomed it
and then it became what we knew,

564
00:49:52.760 --> 00:50:00.559
and that was a sixty votes requirement
for individuals who were being a pointed to

565
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:05.239
these spots. And once it was
thrown out the window for one, it

566
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:08.880
became thrown out the window for others. And you saw it when the logic

567
00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:14.039
ab of Mitch McConnell was, Hey, this is what you guys wanted.

568
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.360
This is what we're going to do
for all judges. And yes they had

569
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:22.480
to expand it beyond that, but
the dam was broken by then, and

570
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:29.480
so eventually you got you got these
incredibly, you got what bork started.

571
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:35.000
So we have these phrases, man, all these fun phrases getting borked.

572
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:37.880
The last time you heard that,
the last time you really heard that was

573
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:44.400
when they made that change because they
wanted to reject Gorsage, who I know

574
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:52.159
that some other right aren't happy with. And here we be, this is

575
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:59.519
where we are. So you have
to have a standard. And once the

576
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:04.199
dam's broke, it's crazy. And
I thought the standard when reporting on somebody

577
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:13.840
was there, literally Hitler was the
ceiling. And then Politico or somebody wrote

578
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.800
an article and they said, no, no, he's not literally Hitler.

579
00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:22.920
He's worse. And I don't even
think i'm paraphrasing. That might be a

580
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:29.400
line from it. And in the
article they went on to project the number

581
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:31.679
of people who would be dead by
the end of the Trump term, and

582
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:37.119
then add that number up, carry
the one, and you found a number

583
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:43.400
that exceeded the total deaths that were
attributed to a combination of Hitler, Stalin

584
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:51.079
and Mao. And I thought,
you know what, I was wrong.

585
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:54.480
There's more. So I want to
talk to you in the pundit class,

586
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:59.960
you in the political class, you
in the journalism class, who ran around

587
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:08.440
and literally Hitler Trump, It's the
end of the democracy. That's it.

588
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:16.000
Good game, America. We're over. If you and and and you said

589
00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:21.360
that, you wrote that, you
tweeted that, you intimated that, you

590
00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:28.360
any of that, if you honestly, if you honestly thought he would never

591
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:31.519
give up power, we get it. It would be the Handmaid's Tale.

592
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:38.280
They were posting photos last week of
the why of the Handmaid's Tale over Project

593
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:43.239
twenty twenty five, which isn't a
Trump thing that he's spoken against, is

594
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:47.119
a project by a think tank in
Washington called the Heritage Foundation, which probably

595
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:52.960
has some stuff Trump agrees with and
Republicans liking it, but a bunch of

596
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:59.920
stuff they don't. It's like when
they tried to attach uh defunding Medicare because

597
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:05.880
some idiot senator in Washington brought it
up in a Q and A. That's

598
00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:10.159
the thoughts of the Republican Party.
If you think this, if you think

599
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:15.199
all of these things, if you
think an individual would get into government and

600
00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:27.039
fundamentally change us into a religious based
government, theocracy, or dictatorship for any

601
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:34.559
of the rest, how dare you
thoughts in prayers yesterday or Saturday? How

602
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:43.519
dare you If I thought somebody was
literally Hitler and somebody shot at them and

603
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:47.599
didn't kill them, I'd be like, can we get another shooter? If

604
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:52.000
I thought they were literally Hitler.
As bad as that sounds, I'd be

605
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:59.800
disappointed. But I'd have to think
it's literally that. That's a very high

606
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:06.519
star and and obviously Hitler's that.
Oh though the German there's a movie out

607
00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:09.440
in Germany, I know of all
places a few years ago where Hitler.

608
00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:14.239
I can't remember the premise of how
he emerged from the bunker. He was

609
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:15.920
in a different bunker and he just
woke up, I don't know, cry,

610
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:21.880
oh whatever, and he like emerges
in modern day Germany and he's running

611
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:25.039
around trying to convince everyone I'm Hitler, and they just think he's a comedian

612
00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:32.039
and and he's a really funny,
spot on guy and like it. It's

613
00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:37.079
famous for it, so weird.
But I'd have to think that, I'd

614
00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:43.679
have to think it's literally that,
because that message that you're sending out,

615
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:53.320
that's literally hitler. That hits people
different. Man. Some people believe that

616
00:54:54.320 --> 00:55:00.599
there were protesters in front of the
hospital that treated Trump, and I saw

617
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:07.280
some a blue haired wilderbeast holding a
sign like can we get another shoot?

618
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:12.320
Or up along those lines. She
had poor penmanship, but she too was

619
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:16.280
in a hurry, had a rush
down there to be a piece of garbage.

620
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:28.119
So when you say these things,
when I say things, they hit

621
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:31.159
people different. So going like earlier, we had the emailers like why are

622
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:36.440
you explaining how to how to position
yourself to take a shot, Because I

623
00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:43.559
don't want anyone to bypass the fact
that I did one hundred and thirty yards

624
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:49.239
shot in a good rested position should
be a cake walk. It's amazing.

625
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.440
The Trump, it's it's I mean, it's terrible. You had one of

626
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:58.960
the people they're killed. But essentially
that's his backdrop. His backdrop is is

627
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:05.119
flesh. It's the inevitability of sending
something into a crowd of people. Somebody's

628
00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:07.760
gonna get hit, but for his
target not to get hit at that yardage

629
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:12.360
and those conditions is amazing and it
shouldn't be lost on you, and it

630
00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:17.719
should raise a lot of questions.
But what drives a person to do that?

631
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:22.719
He registered as a Republican, he
donated to act Blue. What is

632
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:25.159
going on? He's twenty. People
didn't know him. He was a loner.

633
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:31.639
They think he had some friends.
Maybe he didn't. His dad's firearm.

634
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:37.280
Should dad be charged like the Michigan
parents. That discussion was going on.

635
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:45.599
I listen to it on CBS yesterday. I heard analysis. The people

636
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:50.000
were mad that Trump did the i'mok
thing right, You know, the i'mok

637
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:54.559
thing right. You see it in
these situations, but you see it more

638
00:56:54.599 --> 00:57:00.800
often on the football field. Right. Your player goes down, there's a

639
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:06.159
ton of people crowded around. Here
comes the little cart and what happens.

640
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:09.800
If they're still conscious, they'll give
you an indicator they're fine or at least

641
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:14.000
with it. Their leg is,
you know, now behind their head for

642
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:17.239
some reason. But they'll get thumbs
up. Maybe. And Trump did that,

643
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:22.360
and I will credit NBC News.
They did a kind of amazing thing

644
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:25.559
that I can't do on radio because
you need the visual. They had the

645
00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:31.280
Secret Service audio laid over the timeline
of them extracting Trump, who really wants

646
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:37.599
his shoes by the way, he
wanted his shoes. I don't I don't

647
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:43.599
know. I'll be curious that somebody
asked him about the shoes. But it

648
00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:46.239
it becomes it becomes apparent that at
the time they're trying to get him out

649
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:52.960
of there, the Secret Service and
Trump have knowledge that the shooter has been

650
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:58.440
taken out, right, they But
that doesn't mean they don't know that there's

651
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:02.639
not another shooter, but they know
that they that the shooter has been neutralized.

652
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:07.639
Do you hear it? And Trump
indicates through something he says that he

653
00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:13.119
I not that he hears it or
somebody said it to him. So does

654
00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:16.199
that change things? Know? And
so you see this turtle moving off of

655
00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:20.360
the stage, and inside of that
turtle is Trump. And you see his

656
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:24.400
head when he's still on the stage
in his hand indicating to people he's okay.

657
00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:27.960
And then when they get him just
where they load him in the vehicle,

658
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:32.760
he does the thing again. And
the analysis that I heard by NBC

659
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:43.800
was he is how dare he do
that when people around him are not okay,

660
00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:47.519
and not to detract from the tragedy
that destruct the family of this former

661
00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:52.679
fire chief who was killed, or
the families of those who were grievously injured

662
00:58:52.760 --> 00:59:00.840
but now unstable condition, thank god, because he's the president, he was

663
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:07.480
the president and he probably will be
the president again. That's why he did

664
00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:14.599
it. That's why there's ten human
beings laying their bodies over him, because

665
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:22.360
of who he is and who some
of you think is literally Hitler, who

666
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.079
then said, I'm glad he's okay. Are you lying then or are you

667
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:34.239
lying now? Because it doesn't work
both ways. Raced Agic would never lie.

668
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:37.760
He's just here to give you the
straight facts from the Weather Channel and

669
00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:42.639
h boil boy, did you pick
a day to come into work? Huh

670
00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:46.920
yeah? Yeah? The weather marches
on though, Yeah, you know we

671
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:51.239
got enough going on? Could you
not make it suck? So go ahead,

672
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:52.239
OK, I will, but it's
gonna take a few days. We're

673
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:58.239
still like yesterday. Try it.
Ninety seven Triangle one hundred. Neither of

674
00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:01.719
those records though today about the upper
nineties to low one hundred seat advisory for

675
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:06.599
most of the triangle points east catches
some of the counties to the east of

676
01:00:06.840 --> 01:00:09.000
Winston, Salem, Greensboro. Either
way, it's hot to humid, it's

677
01:00:09.039 --> 01:00:13.719
uncomfortable. No rain, but that's
gonna change. It'll start changing tomorrow.

678
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:16.320
But still it's going to be in
the same temperature range, in the upper

679
01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:20.760
nineties with the heat and disease close
to one oh five, some scattered storms

680
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:22.920
in the afternoon. Then as we
get into Wednesday and the rest of the

681
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:25.679
week, good rain chances each day, and that temperatures are going to come

682
01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:29.079
down, believe it or not.
By the end of the week. We

683
01:00:29.119 --> 01:00:32.960
may not see ninety degrees maybe low
eighties by Fridays. So there is change

684
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:36.840
coming. It'll be a pleasant change, and with it there'll be some wet

685
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:38.760
weather scouted around. But we need
the rain too, So one, two,

686
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:44.480
three more days, three more days
that I think we'll start seeing some

687
01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:46.039
of that cooler air come in,
and as I said, we'll start seeing

688
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:50.880
the rain chances ramping up, maybe
as soon as tomorrow, but especially midweekend

689
01:00:50.920 --> 01:00:53.480
beyond. All right, I write
this down. If it doesn't happens,

690
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:57.880
going on your record, Okay,
no problem to added to the list,

691
01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.360
baby, alrighty not get an hour
all right, all right, they race

692
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:04.960
agic from the Weather channel. All
right, we'll get some more calls and

693
01:01:05.239 --> 01:01:10.119
continue to unpack this, whether it
was the refusal to use the term attempted

694
01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:17.760
assassination or one of another thousand things. People's analysis of how the media was

695
01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:23.639
handling it was busy, and I
got so many things that people sent to

696
01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:29.320
me. So we'll dive into that
and your calls next. Hang on,

697
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:38.119
did he fall down or was he
shot at? Did he duck? Did

698
01:01:38.119 --> 01:01:47.519
he get down on his own?
All different variations of that particular act permeated

699
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:52.159
various pieces of reporting. And I
want to say this as we get into

700
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:59.800
this, Reporting on something in real
time is hard, especially when you're in

701
01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:05.119
an environment of your own creation.
I'm not nobody's off the hook here,

702
01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:12.800
but you find yourself in an environment
where a growing number of people question the

703
01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:19.599
truthfulness of whatever you put out there, and the work in that environment is

704
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:23.280
not easy. It's it's frantic.
I'm not gonna lie to you. On

705
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:27.159
Saturday, when we were trying to
gather the troops to figure out, hey,

706
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:31.920
what the hell? Right, you
got people scattered all over. Nobody's

707
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:37.920
in the station. Obviously, it's
the weekend, so we've got market manager,

708
01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:42.800
We've got Trevor is sitting in for
Ross today because Ross is Ross was

709
01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:47.760
is he he tweeted this out.
His wife had a family member pass away,

710
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:53.639
so they went drove to Tennessee to
attend the funeral, and so we

711
01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:57.679
knew he wasn't going to be here. But you know, even even Ross,

712
01:02:57.719 --> 01:03:00.760
while he's off in Tennessee doing the
family stuff, dealing with that boom,

713
01:03:01.320 --> 01:03:04.320
you got to gather the troops.
You got to figure out what the

714
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:07.079
hell, what the hell are we
going to do? Right? And you

715
01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:10.400
got systems and plans and experience and
all of this and you and you call

716
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:15.440
upon that and at that moment,
that's what's going to inform how you're doing

717
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:20.880
stuff. And very early on I
had nine different people this is outside of

718
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:23.719
staff, because I remember, I'm
at a restaurant. I'm a I'm at

719
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:30.000
a restaurant watching this unfold in real
time, just trying to eat baby,

720
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:37.519
drink a beer or two, and
and so people around me are telling other

721
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:42.000
people what's happening, and it's the
ten Can game, this that or the

722
01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:45.039
other. The words they're using are
not consistent, and so as a reporter,

723
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:50.119
you have to go with what you
see, and you have to also

724
01:03:50.199 --> 01:03:57.239
go with whatever information is being fed
back in your earpiece, and you will

725
01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:00.800
be scrutinized. So, yes,
did I see the reporting that Trump fell

726
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:04.519
down and had to be carried off? That was the wording used. Was

727
01:04:04.559 --> 01:04:13.559
it used because at that point they
didn't know that a bullet had entered that

728
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:18.400
area. Should they have known?
Yeah? I think they should have known

729
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:23.920
that something was up based on not
just the way Trump reacted, but how

730
01:04:24.000 --> 01:04:29.280
everyone around him reacted. And if
you want a visual exercise, go watch

731
01:04:29.440 --> 01:04:33.920
the Las Vegas rally that Trump did
years ago where some knitwit decided he was

732
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:40.599
going to storm the stage and watch
the reaction not just of Trump but everyone

733
01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:45.679
around him. It is wildly different
than the reaction that you saw at that

734
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:49.679
moment on Saturday. For an hour
number three. These are the shows that

735
01:04:49.840 --> 01:05:00.639
just fly man, just cook,
and unfortunately there's usually horribleness that that has

736
01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:04.920
to fall before it, and that
horribleness, of course, you're aware of

737
01:05:05.719 --> 01:05:14.000
one dad, two others pretty significantly
injured, and a former president, and

738
01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:17.400
I you know, if I had
to, if I was a betting man,

739
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:25.880
which I am, I would say
probably the next president as morbid as

740
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:34.199
that sounds to some people. What
happened yesterday helps Trump. I know we're

741
01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:38.760
not allowed to do the political analysis, and I know the campaigns have suspended

742
01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:48.639
their politics. Tough cough. It's
the truth and that's you know, that's

743
01:05:48.639 --> 01:05:54.440
what we try to deal with here. So when I'm doing analysis it can

744
01:05:54.519 --> 01:06:01.519
sound a little rough. Hey what
did I I just look at some of

745
01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:04.239
the tweets that I sent. There
are not tweets a text that I sent

746
01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:06.719
that I chose not to. You
don't have many drafts out of my draft

747
01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:10.920
folder right now, because once again, once it's out there, it's out

748
01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:13.599
there, baby, And let me
look at let me look at some of

749
01:06:13.639 --> 01:06:21.440
these. Um yeah, we're gonna
get into Biden's a lot of it's about

750
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:28.440
the Biden stuff. I think that
is as crazy as it sounds. We

751
01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:33.760
were all having a discussion, uh, post Biden and the debate, right

752
01:06:34.360 --> 01:06:38.639
and if you remember, the White
House figured out, hey, there's a

753
01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:43.119
couple of things we can do.
And it'll prove to you that that was

754
01:06:43.239 --> 01:06:45.800
one off. And the first thing
was he's gonna sit down, he's gonna

755
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:51.280
do an interview George Stephanopolis, who
is an absolute hack he's the guy you

756
01:06:51.360 --> 01:06:55.400
go to. He's a former Clinton
staffer, He's the guy you go to

757
01:06:55.599 --> 01:07:00.199
when you need to groom the image
of a Democratic candidate. George will give

758
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:04.960
it to you. And even in
that setting, the White House said,

759
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:09.239
well, we're going to record this
thing. Well, that degates test number

760
01:07:09.239 --> 01:07:13.360
one. You can't. It's got
to be a live interview. Nobody trusts

761
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:15.480
what's coming out of there after we
find you know, there's the same week

762
01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:20.760
that we're learning that they're feeding questions
to people. You can't do that.

763
01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:27.320
So strike one, Strike two.
Uh, he's gonna have a big boy

764
01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:32.119
presser, big boy presser everybody.
He's got a field questions from the members

765
01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:36.840
of the media, and it'll look
like you remember when Trump did the thing

766
01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:41.920
in the Yellow Room. I always
reference this. It's when they upgraded CNND

767
01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:45.639
of very fake news. Love him, hate them whatever you want, and

768
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:51.119
it was a word solid nightmare.
But it wasn't incoherent in the same way

769
01:07:51.159 --> 01:08:00.159
that they're looking at Biden and as
as he's getting rolling on that thing and

770
01:08:00.599 --> 01:08:03.599
doing things like I don't know this
now, I want to hand it over

771
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:10.000
to the President Ukraine, who has
as much courage as he has determination,

772
01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:18.000
ladies and gentlemen. President putin what
that's his opening volley and then he says

773
01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:24.159
this, I'll take your questions.
I've been given a list of people to

774
01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:27.479
call on here strike too. No, that's not how you do it.

775
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:29.880
And I could play the rest of
the audio. You're aware of it.

776
01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:35.840
It didn't go well, But people
ask what happens if something happens? What

777
01:08:35.960 --> 01:08:40.920
is the what does that look like? When we're hearing that the president is

778
01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:44.039
not going to schedule things after eight, so he go to bed earlier.

779
01:08:44.520 --> 01:08:49.960
When we find out from the New
York Times that's his buddies that he's napping,

780
01:08:51.119 --> 01:08:54.479
which I love being nap, don't
get me wrong, And I wouldn't

781
01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:56.600
be critical, I believe it or
not. I wouldn't be critical of a

782
01:08:56.640 --> 01:09:02.760
president who undertake a nap. They
have a pretty insane schedule. Usually the

783
01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:06.079
lot going on. You want to
get you want to steal forty five minutes,

784
01:09:06.119 --> 01:09:13.520
get a cycle, a rem do
your thing. But it's the totality

785
01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:17.079
of that that begs the question and
the confidence of people. What happens if

786
01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:23.000
something happens, Well, something happened, so we got moments noticed, Joe,

787
01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:30.640
that's what I'm calling it moments notice
Joe, which is badsc called him

788
01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:34.399
genocide. Joe minds much more polite
and moments notice Joe was what we needed

789
01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:41.079
to see. What happens if something
happens and they don't have time to regulate

790
01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:45.239
his sleep, juice him whatever.
He's got to get to a podium asap.

791
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:50.840
Stat as they say on the er, I know that's not on anymore.

792
01:09:54.800 --> 01:10:02.000
And he looked as disheveled as possible. He communicated a very short amount

793
01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:05.640
of information. He said he'd tried
to reach Trump, he couldn't get him.

794
01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:10.399
Please don't shoot people, this is
not us. Good night, folks.

795
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.359
That was it. And his face
looked like where am I? And

796
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:21.399
I'm not doing this to pile on
to all of the stuff that we've been

797
01:10:21.760 --> 01:10:26.239
rushing through over the last few weeks. And I want to point out he

798
01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:34.800
looked that way inarguably the most controllable
of crisis situations possible. You got home

799
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:42.079
field advantage. It's happening here in
the US. It's as best you can

800
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:50.279
tell over this is this is te
ball, baby, this isn't We don't

801
01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:56.840
know. We've lost touch with our
embassy in Machete stand right, This isn't

802
01:10:56.960 --> 01:11:04.760
this isn't that. This isn't some
weird beard somewhere, some ront dictator in

803
01:11:06.359 --> 01:11:11.399
Asia looking at you, Kim.
They detonated a nuke. Oh my god,

804
01:11:11.439 --> 01:11:15.840
what do we do where we're getting
real time data and information in and

805
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:19.800
we don't even with all our listening
posts and black sites and everything else.

806
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:24.880
Yeah, they got to stop the
waterboarding for a moment and get to the

807
01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:30.399
computers and the listening listening stations right
where we're trying to figure out what's going

808
01:11:30.439 --> 01:11:35.840
on. That's the situation where we're
trying to execute a raid of a compound

809
01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:44.439
in another country we're not supposed to
be in using brand new technology helicopters with

810
01:11:44.600 --> 01:11:50.840
old school technology Navy seals. Thank
god, everything goes sideways tech wise,

811
01:11:51.359 --> 01:11:58.279
right, Remember they had to detonate
a helicopter and leave it, and you're

812
01:11:58.319 --> 01:12:04.680
trying to manage that while communicating with
the American public. I can't even and

813
01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:10.680
we do. I've done crisis broadcasting. I'm here because people had a very

814
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:15.479
bad day. Do you know that
the way that I was able to and

815
01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:17.960
I'd like to think it's not everything, but the thing that I think helped

816
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:25.760
propel me in my career was two
horrible situations that happened on weekends when I

817
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:30.000
was just doing I was the utility
dude. I was doing seven days a

818
01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:34.119
week at one point because I did
a Sunday show, I did Saturday Morning

819
01:12:34.159 --> 01:12:40.720
on my own, and then I
co was sidekick producer dude for the morning

820
01:12:40.760 --> 01:12:44.800
show on the weekdays, and so
I was always in the station. I

821
01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:50.199
was trying to get ahead in this
business. And a bridge collapsed, an

822
01:12:50.199 --> 01:12:59.760
interstate bridge in the middle of Minneapolis
collapsed, and I was the one who

823
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:06.439
went on on air I'm there,
and we did that and it it was

824
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:11.880
well received by folks around, and
I'd like to think that it helped me

825
01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:17.079
propel my career, as crazy,
morbid, horrible as that sounds, and

826
01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:20.600
you have to be ready, and
what ready looks like or what ready sounds

827
01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:25.840
like in talk radio is not what
it looks like. I've got people coming

828
01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:29.359
in who aren't there. They don't
want to be there. They're serving in

829
01:13:29.439 --> 01:13:32.920
some role that they're not familiar with. They're ripping stories, they're running into

830
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:35.640
the studio. You can't hear it. They're laying things in front of me

831
01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:42.960
that I have to read while I
keep talking, which is a weird skill

832
01:13:43.039 --> 01:13:45.479
you develop doing this to be able
to read a story. I'm reading something

833
01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:48.600
right now while I'm talking to you. Do you know that I'm reading something

834
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:54.319
that that Trevor Or program director sent
me. I need to stop that.

835
01:13:54.359 --> 01:13:57.119
It's not a great habit. I
don't need to read that right now,

836
01:13:57.159 --> 01:14:02.399
but you do it, and that
got me more responsibility. And it's because

837
01:14:02.439 --> 01:14:09.079
you have to be able to handle
things like that. And so when I

838
01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:15.399
hear reporters out there who are having
to make a judgment call did Trump fall

839
01:14:15.439 --> 01:14:24.079
down as some reported and had to
be carried away? That's a set of

840
01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:30.439
words that tells a story that is
wildly different from what should have been visually

841
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:36.640
apparent. And you know the situational
awareness we talk about. And you don't

842
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:42.880
even have to say somebody shot at
him. You can say something happened.

843
01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:51.920
It appears that people are wounded,
which was which was unquestionable, and Secret

844
01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:58.760
Service has whisked the president away or
but to say that he fell down and

845
01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:04.159
was carried away? Is it intentional? It's inaccurate and whether it was done

846
01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:11.600
out of your subconscious because you're just
programmed to not like the guy, or

847
01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:15.000
you intentionally use those words. I
think it's the former, not the latter.

848
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:21.800
It speaks volumes man, And so
whether the reporter's there or moments notice

849
01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:28.479
Joe having to roll in on the
softest, the shortest putt you'll probably experience

850
01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:34.319
of a crisis in a in a
president's reign, and to not look like

851
01:15:34.399 --> 01:15:40.479
you know where you are. That
cannot be lost in this. So yes,

852
01:15:40.600 --> 01:15:45.159
am I am I injecting politics.
I am a little bit, but

853
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:51.199
unfortunately this is a test that you
can't fake and it shouldn't be unnoticed.

854
01:15:51.199 --> 01:15:56.760
All right, Jamal, thanks for
hanging on? What's up? Hopefull we

855
01:15:56.840 --> 01:15:59.039
get the phone? We got your
phone spotted up there or turn on?

856
01:15:59.159 --> 01:16:02.279
Okay, hang on, hang on. See this is why we have a

857
01:16:02.319 --> 01:16:09.039
team. The phone's on there,
all right? Yeah, I can you

858
01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:10.960
hear me? Yeah, I can
hear you. Now, what's up,

859
01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:14.000
sir? You okay? I want
to say this. I'm doing great,

860
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:16.880
k well, horrible because of what
happened is weekend, but it will sing

861
01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:21.000
number one. And I'm scared for
Mark Robinson too, because the same way

862
01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:25.800
they talk about President Trump, they
talk about Mark Robinson and me and Mark

863
01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:29.760
Robinson are friends. I'm really scared
for Mark Robinson as well. Because of

864
01:16:29.800 --> 01:16:33.600
this, the Democrat Party keeps saying, oh, you know, political violence

865
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:41.840
isn't isn't isn't a choice is wrong
and we should have a disagreement of opinions.

866
01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:46.439
This is not a disagreement of opinions
when you call people that disagree with

867
01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:55.279
you bigots, omphales, racist,
members of the reiterated real quick Jamal Mark

868
01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:59.560
Robinson in a in a cartoon by
W. R. A. L.

869
01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:05.399
Was made as a clan member.
That is that is that cannot be lost

870
01:17:05.399 --> 01:17:12.479
in this. You charactertured him as
a member of the clan, a black

871
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:15.920
man, a member of the clan. And I think if you got one

872
01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:18.600
hundred people in a room and you
said, hey, the grand Wizard of

873
01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:23.840
the clan got run over, you
know, uh, run over by a

874
01:17:23.880 --> 01:17:28.960
truck. Uh, there wouldn't be
very very many sad people. So it's

875
01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:33.439
really, it's really I I share
I share your concern absolutely, and so

876
01:17:33.640 --> 01:17:38.560
to me, when I hear them
and you forgot what they said about thoughts

877
01:17:38.600 --> 01:17:44.680
and prayers, you don't hear the
thing I didn't forget. I rolled my

878
01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:46.720
eye. One of my eyes is
still stuck in the back of my head,

879
01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:51.359
Jamal, I didn't forget. So
they sit here and say, you

880
01:17:51.399 --> 01:17:58.119
know, thousand prayers. But to
me, when they specifically say that this

881
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:02.439
is a threat to democracy, that
the people at the Trump Riley's are terrorists,

882
01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:08.199
they are supporting anti you can't call
yourself a patree if you support Donald

883
01:18:08.239 --> 01:18:13.119
Trump. Watching these people for all
this time keep saying this to me,

884
01:18:13.439 --> 01:18:16.359
them saying we're gonna unify, it's
crazy. And I'm gonna tell you some

885
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:20.039
casey, And you may think I'm
crazy, I disagree with you when I

886
01:18:20.079 --> 01:18:24.840
say this is gonna help President Trump. This is gonna help President Biden.

887
01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:29.319
I'm gonna tell you why. Because
now also happened. The Democrat Party said

888
01:18:29.479 --> 01:18:34.000
that we're gonna coalists around Biden.
Also, the press stopped covering Biden screw

889
01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:41.079
us like last night when he did
that press conference he said the battle box.

890
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:45.960
This man literally said we're gonna be
all We're gonna go to the battle

891
01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:50.479
box like what he was, screwing
all up, slunning his words. But

892
01:18:50.600 --> 01:18:57.319
nobody talks about that because the media
is back doing what they did before,

893
01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:01.239
covering for him, because hey,
this is their God, so they're gonna

894
01:19:01.279 --> 01:19:04.880
try to get President they getting President
Trump. Oh, this is on both

895
01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:10.159
sides. This is not both sides, because when President Trump talked about illegal

896
01:19:10.239 --> 01:19:15.760
immigrants killing Americans, this has actually
happened. Just because I oppose gay marriage

897
01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:19.560
does not mean I'm against democracy,
because at one time, less than twenty

898
01:19:19.640 --> 01:19:24.279
years ago, gay marriage was not
a thing people had a right to say

899
01:19:24.279 --> 01:19:28.560
they were against it. Just because
I'm opposed to abortion, that doesn't mean

900
01:19:28.239 --> 01:19:32.600
I'm enslaving women or I'm trying to
murder women. Just because I'm against DEEI.

901
01:19:33.079 --> 01:19:38.199
Just because I'm against affirmative action doesn't
mean I'm trying to put black people

902
01:19:38.199 --> 01:19:41.880
back in slavery. And that number
too many black folks, and I have

903
01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:45.479
said, Oh, and Joe Biden, he sat there and said, Brent

904
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:48.199
Romney, gonna put y'all back and
change. How you gonna put somebody back

905
01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:53.399
and change? You got the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth Amendment. Will

906
01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:58.960
have consik constantly on that side.
Make it look like if you disagree with

907
01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:04.439
that progressively the thing that you are
a threat and extential threat to the nation

908
01:20:04.760 --> 01:20:09.239
because you have a difference of opinion. This man, mister Corey, I

909
01:20:09.239 --> 01:20:14.640
don't want to butcher his last name
this man who was a retired firefighter one

910
01:20:14.760 --> 01:20:20.359
year older than me, fifty died
shot and killed because he was at a

911
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:25.560
Trump riley. And you know what, there are many people George Stepanopolis,

912
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:29.479
who are blaming this on President Trump
and his ride and trying to say January

913
01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:33.840
of the sixth people, so they
are they're already blaming President Trump and Republicans

914
01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:38.479
for this. They're saying this is
our fault, January of the sixth,

915
01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:42.960
But don't talk about the Black Lives
matter. Jamar, Jamal, you're on

916
01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:47.199
a roll. I am so incredibly
late for my break. I'm sorry because

917
01:20:47.239 --> 01:20:53.119
what's gonna happen in thirty seconds is
I'm gonna get fired. So I got

918
01:20:53.159 --> 01:20:57.279
you my very oh man. Okay, but I hear a lot of passion

919
01:20:57.319 --> 01:21:00.399
here and your points are not lost
on me. And that's why that was

920
01:21:00.439 --> 01:21:04.520
point number two on my big stack
of stuff. If you think somebody's literally

921
01:21:04.600 --> 01:21:11.720
hitler and you're simultaneously glad they're okay
after something like this where you're lying then

922
01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:15.520
or you're lying now, we'll get
on with it next. Hang on a

923
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:21.000
Cacoda radio program, and you know, we just we have one one story

924
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:28.399
today. I know it's obvious and
it's strange when you have those days,

925
01:21:28.399 --> 01:21:35.039
but that's the world of talk radio. Sometimes the events that precede those kinds

926
01:21:35.079 --> 01:21:41.640
of days are some that will never
ever forget. Right, nine to eleven,

927
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:44.520
nine to eleven. I laugh when
I say that, not because it's

928
01:21:44.560 --> 01:21:47.920
funny, but because it's just you
kick the old memory bank, kid.

929
01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:55.279
It was a fundamental change in the
way that we do what we do,

930
01:21:57.199 --> 01:21:59.960
Like there was stuff we didn't know
we needed to be ready for on our

931
01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:08.680
side of things that manifested and change
staffing, change the way that we plan

932
01:22:08.800 --> 01:22:15.399
for things. Without getting too technical, there are things called macros that we

933
01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:19.520
utilize to tell the basically tell the
radio station what to do. And when

934
01:22:19.520 --> 01:22:24.520
I say the radio station, I
mean the log right, the series of

935
01:22:24.560 --> 01:22:28.840
my voice commercials, news, weather, and traffic that you hear. And

936
01:22:29.479 --> 01:22:32.319
you can build a command that tells
it to do a variety of things.

937
01:22:32.359 --> 01:22:39.600
But when you fire that one command, that one macro, it it changes.

938
01:22:39.760 --> 01:22:43.680
And so like when my show starts
in the morning, there's a macro

939
01:22:43.880 --> 01:22:51.520
for me, and it changes what
studio to pull audio from and what promos

940
01:22:51.600 --> 01:22:57.359
and bumpers to use. Like it's
all built in and so it's one touch

941
01:22:57.640 --> 01:23:06.399
boom. Now you're in this room
and I built a macro. I can't

942
01:23:06.399 --> 01:23:11.159
tell you what it was called.
It's rather coarse humor, but it just

943
01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:17.680
says we bef't because I amuse me
sometimes. But I knew that if the

944
01:23:17.840 --> 01:23:24.359
peanut butter hit the fan or whatever
that commercial says, that I could hit

945
01:23:24.439 --> 01:23:30.319
that and whatever was going on,
whatever is happening, whatever breaking news is

946
01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:39.039
going down, it would stop everything
else, give me total control, but

947
01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:45.520
continue to have audio coming out of
your speakers. And so all of that

948
01:23:45.640 --> 01:23:49.760
behind the scenes stuff is what news
agencies do. It just took a very

949
01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:57.000
long, roundabout way of telling you
that when you are a member of the

950
01:23:57.039 --> 01:24:04.039
press who covers a rally that involves
secret service, these are possibilities that are

951
01:24:04.039 --> 01:24:10.359
not foreign to you, from the
screening that takes place, to the behind

952
01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:14.199
the scenes the paperwork, to them
telling you where you can and can't move.

953
01:24:15.079 --> 01:24:16.520
You ever been in a press pit
and have to go to the bathroom

954
01:24:16.560 --> 01:24:21.279
and you're in this weird window,
you're kind of screwed man, depending on

955
01:24:21.319 --> 01:24:30.600
the setup. So this is why
I take issue with the way that the

956
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:38.800
wording was on some of these things, and the analysis in real time that

957
01:24:38.880 --> 01:24:43.239
was attempting to be done where you, yes, you can't call something certain

958
01:24:43.319 --> 01:24:55.640
things until you have a a confirmation
of some sort. But also you're the

959
01:24:55.760 --> 01:25:00.520
media, so you can call it
like you see it when it comes to

960
01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:05.880
important things. To sit there and
say yesterday, as one reporter did,

961
01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:10.560
down to this is for the first
time I'm gonna go to a story and

962
01:25:10.640 --> 01:25:13.319
not just off the top of my
head. So that's probably good for all

963
01:25:13.359 --> 01:25:18.039
of us. Maybe I'll even get
it right when when when you have a

964
01:25:18.159 --> 01:25:30.600
reporter arguing with people about refusing to
use the term attempted assassination because they have

965
01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:35.279
the government hasn't told us that's what
it is yet do you even hear yourself?

966
01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:45.199
I won't call it this thing that
everybody with eyeballs knows it is.

967
01:25:46.079 --> 01:25:50.600
I'm not talking to at the moment, right we're where we've moved away from

968
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:56.279
the initial Trump fell and they carried
him off. That in and of itself

969
01:25:56.359 --> 01:26:00.840
is problematic. But now we're into
this thing, it's abundantly clear. You

970
01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:06.920
know that a shooter is dead a
male. Remember for a long time it

971
01:26:06.960 --> 01:26:11.760
was just male shooter is dead.
That was what was said. You know,

972
01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:15.680
that somebody in the crowd is dead. You know that Trump has blood

973
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:20.720
on him and the analysis of people
on Twitter is amazing. Ah, he

974
01:26:20.840 --> 01:26:25.920
put it there. Yeah, because
he just carries vials of blood around with

975
01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:31.399
him, costume blood with him everywhere
he goes, so on the off chance

976
01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:39.439
that somebody near him is murdered with
a rifle, he can smear it on

977
01:26:39.520 --> 01:26:48.680
himself. For political points, that's
a rando. You're a reporter. You

978
01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:55.279
have a person with a gun who
has shot and wounded and killed people,

979
01:26:55.640 --> 01:26:59.880
and one of the people who was
wounded was the President of the United States

980
01:26:59.880 --> 01:27:02.640
for four years, maybe the president
again for four more years, but will

981
01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:13.600
carry that title and thus Secret Service
protection for the rest of his life.

982
01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:17.840
You don't need the government to sign
off on those words at that point.

983
01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:23.960
I do not believe, and I'd
have to go I'd have to go in

984
01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:28.680
the way back machine and pull up
the sound. But I don't think that

985
01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:36.800
reporters in Dallas had any problem using
the term assassinate. And there's the famous

986
01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:42.399
report you've all heard where they said
that the president has been shot. The

987
01:27:42.439 --> 01:27:45.760
president has been shot, and it's
cronkite and you've seen it. I'm sure

988
01:27:46.319 --> 01:27:50.239
his president's been shot, and he's
taken the hospital, and almost in the

989
01:27:50.279 --> 01:27:56.800
amount of time it takes him to
say those things, you can tell somebody

990
01:27:56.920 --> 01:28:00.760
saying something to him in his ear. He puts his hand to the side

991
01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:06.880
of his head. He pauses for
a moment, and then he tells you

992
01:28:06.960 --> 01:28:15.880
the president is dead. Do you
think that's because the government signed off on

993
01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:21.159
him using those words? No,
it's because the people that work for Knkite

994
01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:27.600
were at that and we're talking to
people and garnered and gathered and got the

995
01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:30.960
information. And yes, death confirmation
is probably something you're gonna need somebody to

996
01:28:31.039 --> 01:28:35.399
do. But the things around it
that somebody shot at the president, there

997
01:28:35.439 --> 01:28:39.680
wasn't a person in the city of
Dallas, in the United States of America,

998
01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:43.079
anywhere in the world that didn't go, Oh, they tried to assassinate

999
01:28:43.159 --> 01:28:51.640
him. Everybody knows that term.
There's a whole video game franchise calls Assassin's

1000
01:28:51.720 --> 01:28:58.039
creed and it's about you ready for
this, are you sitting down? It's

1001
01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:06.000
about assassinating people. But when in
a political spectrum, when you when you

1002
01:29:06.039 --> 01:29:11.520
try to kill a politician, assassinate
is the term that you use. And

1003
01:29:11.560 --> 01:29:17.800
that is whether it is successful or
unsuccessful, even when the who is there

1004
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:24.359
was an Ecuador where the guy had
a dude shoot at him, so he

1005
01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:27.600
would shoot at him, so people
would think, No, I can't remember.

1006
01:29:27.960 --> 01:29:30.079
I want to be very clear,
I can't remember what country it was

1007
01:29:30.439 --> 01:29:34.399
where a guy had a like pretend
to assassinate me, so my numbers will

1008
01:29:34.439 --> 01:29:42.840
go up, like they still use
the term assassinate there even though it turned

1009
01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:46.760
out I guess it wouldn't technically be
that because he wasn't going to shoot him,

1010
01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:51.159
so that would be the only reason
not to use it. So sitting

1011
01:29:51.199 --> 01:29:56.039
there and watching reporters on Twitter,
go I can't use it till the government

1012
01:29:56.079 --> 01:30:04.039
signs off on that word. Do
you even hear yourself? You're a reporter,

1013
01:30:04.359 --> 01:30:13.439
report Mark? What's up? Casey? First of all, as real

1014
01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:18.479
consequences? Okay, And these folks
that are pushing the narrative that Trump is

1015
01:30:18.520 --> 01:30:24.479
the worst thing ever to walk the
face of the Europe. It almost not

1016
01:30:24.560 --> 01:30:30.000
only invites this kind of thing,
but it almost makes it a legitimate act.

1017
01:30:30.560 --> 01:30:33.039
It is not but your second,
your second, your second, your

1018
01:30:33.039 --> 01:30:39.399
second point is the more accurate and
scarier point. I believe it's it is

1019
01:30:39.520 --> 01:30:43.560
it it because It goes back to
the literally Hitler thing. If you told

1020
01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:46.479
me that literally Hitler, who was
in a position to do all the things

1021
01:30:46.479 --> 01:30:51.520
that he did. Uh, and
and it's moments before didn't get hit I

1022
01:30:51.520 --> 01:30:56.680
would say shoot at him again because
it's literally Hitler, and we know what's

1023
01:30:56.720 --> 01:31:00.479
going to happen. And when you
go down that road you get to you're

1024
01:31:00.520 --> 01:31:03.479
talking about sir. That's right.
And I have something to say about President

1025
01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:06.520
Biden's speech last night. First of
all, I don't want to put from

1026
01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:13.239
the Oval Office for the fake Oval
Office about Yeah, well they say a

1027
01:31:13.239 --> 01:31:16.720
lot of things, but you know
his clan that he's putting politics aside that

1028
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:21.000
lasted until eight oh one, because
if you listen to that speech carefully,

1029
01:31:21.880 --> 01:31:26.800
he talks about how there's no place
for violence, and then he says like

1030
01:31:27.319 --> 01:31:38.479
and puts about five things that are
related to Republicans for the Right, including

1031
01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:44.520
six to assassinate your political phones,
crapping out on me just a little there.

1032
01:31:44.640 --> 01:31:48.920
So yeah, I look, I
I do I think and thank you

1033
01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:55.319
for the call. Do I think
politics is aside? No? And you

1034
01:31:55.359 --> 01:31:59.880
know what, maybe it shouldn't be. Maybe maybe the politics should be there

1035
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:03.880
for the purpose of maybe evaluating it
and all, because putting it aside is

1036
01:32:03.920 --> 01:32:09.680
pretending that what's going on isn't going
on for later to go on again,

1037
01:32:10.319 --> 01:32:13.880
someme to think about raced agic real
quick. We got a little weather forecast

1038
01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:16.960
thing we got to do, so
let's do this thing from the weather channel.

1039
01:32:17.479 --> 01:32:20.600
What's happening, man, go ahead, Well, not much change yet,

1040
01:32:20.920 --> 01:32:25.159
but change coming towards the end of
the week. I think everybody probably

1041
01:32:25.159 --> 01:32:27.600
going to be happier. I don't
know too many people like the heat and

1042
01:32:27.640 --> 01:32:31.079
communities thunder heat advisory for most of
the try and we'll try it parts of

1043
01:32:31.119 --> 01:32:34.760
it upper nineties to low one hundreds. The next couple of days, the

1044
01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:38.960
heat index or what it feels like
one oh five, maybe even hotter at

1045
01:32:38.960 --> 01:32:43.880
times in some spots, so just
dangerously hot. Storm chances will start going

1046
01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:46.159
up. We'll have a chance tomorrow, a little better chance Wednesday than Thursday.

1047
01:32:46.159 --> 01:32:49.600
Friday we'll have the best chances of
the week, scattered shower storms,

1048
01:32:49.600 --> 01:32:53.600
and then temperatures are going to come
down, real nice cool off coming by

1049
01:32:53.920 --> 01:32:58.399
Thursday only near ninety and then by
Friday only low eighties, maybe some middle

1050
01:32:58.439 --> 01:33:00.039
eighties, and then by the weekend, think lodal mid eighty. So a

1051
01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:03.600
cool downcoming, but so much needed
wet weather with it. Okay, all

1052
01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:08.239
right, thank you, sir,
appreciate it, and we will be right

1053
01:33:08.279 --> 01:33:13.159
back. Hang on. Well,
Casey and Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News here

1054
01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:15.840
at eight fifty three. Jeff,
what's happening today? Well, good morning,

1055
01:33:16.079 --> 01:33:21.199
Casey. Stock Market futures are pointing
higher as Wall Street weighs the implications

1056
01:33:21.199 --> 01:33:28.079
of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump
and its potential impact on the presidential election,

1057
01:33:28.479 --> 01:33:32.000
and the price of oil has been
fluctuating since the assassination attempt on mister

1058
01:33:32.079 --> 01:33:36.560
Trump. The attack on the former
president has resulted in more uncertainty about the

1059
01:33:36.560 --> 01:33:42.439
election, the dollars modestly higher.
That's a headwind for oil. Global demand

1060
01:33:42.520 --> 01:33:46.439
for smartphones picked up in the second
quarter. Researchers report worldwide shipments rose more

1061
01:33:46.439 --> 01:33:53.520
than six percent. Shipments of Apple
iPhone stabilized, other manufacturers saw accelerated growth.

1062
01:33:53.800 --> 01:33:59.000
Sales were driven by new artificial intelligence
features and aggressive discounts. A hacker

1063
01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:02.000
who claims to have been behind the
theft of sensitive call and text data from

1064
01:34:02.039 --> 01:34:06.560
AT and T now claims to have
been paid about four hundred thousand dollars to

1065
01:34:06.640 --> 01:34:11.800
erase the data. It's not clear
how the reported transaction was carried out,

1066
01:34:12.039 --> 01:34:15.560
and analysis of a Bitcoin wallet address
provided by the hacker did turn up a

1067
01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:20.720
transaction that coincided with the alleged payment. They are considered the working poor,

1068
01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:26.479
people who have jobs but have no
money left over after covering basic expenses.

1069
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:30.439
Bank Rate reports a third of the
American workforce falls into that category of workers

1070
01:34:30.479 --> 01:34:34.439
who say they're living paycheck to paycheck, and they're not able to say for

1071
01:34:34.520 --> 01:34:40.079
the future. And to Casey,
it is the eve of Amazon's annual sales

1072
01:34:40.119 --> 01:34:44.960
event. The online retail giant will
be rolling out big Prime Day discounts on

1073
01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:49.920
electronics, clothing, and other merchandise. Adobe estimates internet shoppers will spend fourteen

1074
01:34:50.079 --> 01:34:54.880
billion dollars over the next two days, eleven percent more than last year.

1075
01:34:55.239 --> 01:35:00.399
And Casey, Amazon won't be the
only retailer that benefits. Can I ask

1076
01:35:00.439 --> 01:35:02.279
you something real quick? When you
got it, when you first got into

1077
01:35:02.359 --> 01:35:05.680
radio, did you think at any
point in your career you would ever string

1078
01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:12.439
the words together? The attempt excuse
me, the attempt at assassination of President

1079
01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:15.760
Trump. It's just it's so it's
still to this day is wild to me,

1080
01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:19.800
all of these things. So it
is no idea you wouldn't have guessed

1081
01:35:20.359 --> 01:35:24.760
over the over the years, I've
strung together a lot of phrases I never

1082
01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:27.279
expected. Yeah, that's right,
Yeah, that's that's the biz. We're

1083
01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:31.319
end all right, thanks Jeff appreciation. Okay, Yeah, Like, I

1084
01:35:31.319 --> 01:35:39.159
don't know, it just it's just
it's just still strange. It's not a

1085
01:35:39.199 --> 01:35:44.439
bad thing. It's just strange.
It's just weird. Man. Come on,

1086
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:47.439
you gotta admit a little. When
when he first got elected first time,

1087
01:35:47.439 --> 01:35:51.000
you're like President Trump, You're like, duh, it's a little strange,

1088
01:35:51.039 --> 01:35:58.520
right, just in and it's away
from all of the standard political I

1089
01:35:58.560 --> 01:36:01.640
hate you, you hate me stuff, just because of what you knew him

1090
01:36:01.680 --> 01:36:05.399
from. The guy had just sat
there on Comedy Central and got roasted like

1091
01:36:05.439 --> 01:36:11.720
the year before or something. You
still watch that roast. It's weird watching

1092
01:36:11.760 --> 01:36:16.079
it now. But this is where
we are. This is where we are,

1093
01:36:16.479 --> 01:36:21.199
and I will will things get better? I don't know. I could.

1094
01:36:21.279 --> 01:36:26.479
I could sit here and do another
three hours just playing you audio from

1095
01:36:26.960 --> 01:36:30.000
Barry. You notice I didn't this
morning, I didn't sit here, And

1096
01:36:30.319 --> 01:36:33.319
there'll be time this week, don't
worry and dwell on it. And there's

1097
01:36:33.359 --> 01:36:38.960
doing a laundry list of people like
Benny Thompson's field director, who is no

1098
01:36:39.079 --> 01:36:48.840
longer his field director, right,
Jacqueline Marsaw who thought to tweet after a

1099
01:36:48.960 --> 01:36:55.079
quote I don't condone violence, but
please get you some shooting lessons so you

1100
01:36:55.239 --> 01:37:00.199
don't miss next time. Oops?
Misspelled? Ops's got next time? Oh?

1101
01:37:00.640 --> 01:37:08.439
I guess it's for effect. Ah, that wasn't me talking. Oops,

1102
01:37:08.560 --> 01:37:15.479
that wasn't me talking. Well,
it's not a good look to say

1103
01:37:15.479 --> 01:37:26.600
the very least or to the Colorado
dude who I thought he was clever with

1104
01:37:26.680 --> 01:37:32.439
the simp uh sympathy for the devil? What goes what goes through your mind?

1105
01:37:32.479 --> 01:37:40.600
Man? CBS News, who were
who were here? We go?

1106
01:37:44.039 --> 01:37:53.800
CBS News who was upset that Trump
didn't try to uh quote this, uh

1107
01:37:54.000 --> 01:38:00.520
lower the political temperature? What?
What the hell are you talking about?

1108
01:38:00.680 --> 01:38:04.319
What do you so? What do
you want him to do? I got

1109
01:38:04.359 --> 01:38:10.199
a new ear piercing. Let me
talk to you about the political temperature.

1110
01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:12.880
He didn't, he didn't go out
and tell and by the way, he

1111
01:38:12.960 --> 01:38:18.079
did literally there are statements and there
are things after this reporting which are clearly

1112
01:38:18.159 --> 01:38:25.159
that not just from Trump but from
everybody
