Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. As we
get things, we get things rolling. I didn't realize how many heroes we
had, possibly myself included, of course, and one could argue extra hero
because extra times I myself have been diagnosed with it. Ross did you ever
get like technically get COVID. Were you tested and you were sure that you
had it? Was that a thing? I've had it, but it's never
been like that. It's been like a coult so stolen valor got it.
So basically it's the same as any heroic super heroic act you can do.
I didn't know this. I myself have tested positive for it officially, so
get me whatever the award is. So you just like knew you had it?
What didn't like? Your wife tested right? No, Like we took
the home test and I had it. Oh okay, but I had like
but it was like a cold, it was nothing. All right? Well,
where in Arlington do you want buried? Have you have you like mapped
it out and figured it out. I'm going with a twenty foot tall animatronic
statue. You know they have they have a certain continuity to the headstones.
I don't know if you've what what is the animatronic statue? Don't Yeah,
no, no, I got it from Futurama. It just says, remember
me every sixty seconds, let me see okay, kind of like the JFK's
Eternal Flame, which if you go to Arlington you can go ahead and see
that. So I didn't realize it was the same as I don't know,
literally surviving an assassination attempt. But also I'm not CNN, so what do
I know. Let's get into this because Joe Biden's got the COVID. These
two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who for what
I'm sorry, I said, CNN, let's MSNBC. We'll get to CNN
stupidity MSNBC. That's joy read, by the way, the arbiter of such
things. These two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man
who, for whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo
op during an active shooter. The situation, weird situation. We'll figure that
out one day. I'm sorry, I have to stop there. What what
what was given nine One could argue he earned it. One could one could
argue if you asked him, Hey, how would you like to be in
one of the most iconic news photos in the history of the United States.
Sounds pretty good, right, Yeah, But we're going to shoot at you.
And when I say shoot at you, we're going to get so close
it's going to draw blood. How are you feeling about that? Because I
don't feel that that conversation happened. But whatever, let's go. These two
men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever
reason, was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op during an active
shooter situation. Weird situation. We'll figure that out one day. But his
survival of that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being
conveyed in the media world as a sin of string. This current president of
the United States is eighty one years old and has COVID. Should he be
fine in a couple of days? Doesn't that convey exactly the same thing that
he's strong enough older than Trump to have gotten something that used to really be
fatal to people his age. So if he does find out of it,
I would point out that mathematically, not even people his age the majority,
No, but we have the math on this. So if you're eighty one
and you are in the current health condition that Joe Biden is, you were
more likely not to have it be fatal. That's some math and comes back
and is able to do rallies. Isn't that exactly the same? I mean,
it's not exactly the same, It's not same incident, but it's an
elderly man coming through out of an ill. How does she have a job
because like MSNBC admittedly has tried to mitigate some of the crazy, right they
not really but kind of like the stuff that's in your face nut job and
then every now and then it slips through. But how does Joy Reid still
have a job? Isn't she the one correct me if I'm wrong? Isn't
she the one who like they found a blog of hers that was like super
cancelable? And then she says, I don't know how it got there,
And then I don't even honestly, I don't even know what the what the
end of that story was? All right? So is I guess that's the
question we'll start with. Is getting COVID the same as getting shot your thoughts
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven Part Ross Getting COVID getting shot.
Do you have a choice. If I had to choose, I'd probably
go with getting COVID. But I was excited to hear about Biden getting COVID.
COVID is back and now we can take time off from work again for
COVID. Well you should that, because now you're like, you got COVID.
What is that? I don't feel well? Where's your neck brace?
By the way, that just was that a yesterday thing? I'm a I'm
a quick healer. Okay, well, then the COVID shouldn't be a problem.
Right, you're literally the new guy right from Monty Python. Is that
what we're dealing with? Yes, you got better? Okay, it's not
it's the same. It's the if he gets Trump had Do you remember Trump
was the first one to have COVID of the like the big names in the
US. I know Tom Hanks had it, but technically he had it in
Australia. Yeah, and he had it and he came back to the White
House and at the time they tried to claim that it wasn't as like he
was using it too, as like a you know, to show as a
theater piece. Do you remember how excited they were when he had to go.
Yeah, Oh, they were so happy. Oh, he's got the
COVID. Remember he came back and he took the mask off up on the
balcony and they look at this shameless, he's can't believe he would do this,
Yeah, to show that he's still strong, and ugh, we loser.
They were so happy he had COVID. They were so and and you
know, you had a lot of the garbage takes where they're just like,
look, you know, he's going to have to die to prove people this.
It was you know, it was just a little another level of horribleness.
And now Biden's got it, and uh, he's rambo. Biden has
it again. Hasn't he had like twenty times or something. He's had COVID
a bunch of time. I'm sure he's had like Booster, Yeah, yeah,
he had it. When Jensaki had it, I think there was there
was like a little mini collective of him and a lot of people are by
the way, are also pointing to a statement that was made Let's see during
the interview. Biden said, let's see here, he would consider dropping out
of the presidential race if doctors came to him and diagnosed him with a medical
condition. Well, what does that mean? COVID? And by the way,
if he quits because of COVID, does he still get the hero status.
I don't know. I'm very confused. In an interview with Bee T
Gordon, Ed Gordon asked Biden if there was anything that could convince him,
and he said, if some medical condition emerged. Okay, I'm sorry,
what were you saying? And there's a conspiracy theory now that they gave him
the they want him out, so they they gave him COVID on purpose.
Oh they and they gave him like the bad batch of COVID. Oh no,
oh no, So it's like putin light really yes? Oh no,
Okay. I hope he gets better, because here's the thing. Is as
weird as this week has been, and as downright hateful as I have watched
people be. I don't want I don't want Joe Biden to die, Okay,
is right? No? I did I want him on the ticket until
November? Well no, no, I don't even want it for selfish reasons,
like I just don't wish. There's a few people I have a list
that I wish death upon. I know that's not good. Saint Peter's going
to have a problem whatever. But I don't want that, and I don't
even want it for yeah, to keep him on the ticket reasons like I
don't want that. That being said, it's not the same like I'll give
it the guy test. Okay, dudes are sitting around having some beers,
telling some stories as we do. Which story are you more invested in that
time you got shot in the ear or that time you got COVID? Just
running it through that filter, I'm gonna be like, Joe, that's great
anyway, what were you saying, don That's how that's gonna play out?
Two different things. And look, Biden's got some crazy stories, almost none
of which are true. Right. Remember he got arrested with Nelson Mandela.
That would be a good story if it was true. It's not true.
Remember that time his uncle got eaten by cannibals. Not so much. He's
that guy in the group. Wouldn't that be something? Though? If he's
like, I have COVID, I have to drop out. I wonder with
that language if because some people not the COVID, but some people are speculating
that that might be a tell all right, And he's gonna come out maybe,
you know, maybe it's Parkinson's who knows. I mean, do you
really think he has COVID? Well, there's there's maybe like ten percent of
me that thinks he actually has COVID. They're looking for some excuse to get
rid of him. Well, he's got he's got to go rest. I
mean, I'm going up that stairs. And it took him like, you
know, twenty minutes to go to short stairs and air Force one or whatever.
Now was that five foot or twelve foot of stairs? Uh? Primately,
yeah, I'd say more five. Oh my gosh, did you see
the picture of where this dude's ladder was. It's next to the Secret Services
ladder. Yeah. I saw a diagram that Elon Musk put out on X.
Yes, that one. That's what I'm talking about. What what the
hell is going on? Man? Every time I see something new, I
am astounded with this whole thing. But that looked like a five foot ladder?
Didn't it in there? Because it's actually like on something? Yeah?
Everything is nuts, dude. All right, So Biden's got the COVID and
it's basically the same as Loane Survivor. Dude, same thing, basically,
Hey, I don't make the rules. Apparently MSNBC doos. So yeah,
that a little bit of crazy to start the show for you this morning,
six nineteen. Hang on just diving right into it. These two men are
both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason,
was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op during it. Well,
by the way, what does that even mean? Ross? You dubbed this
in? I mean, we get to what I want? But what does
she mean? For whatever reason? Is is joy read on the there's nothing
under the bandage train? Did I miss that? Like? I can't figure
out why she says it like that. That'd be amazing if she was.
By the way, do you see people at the RNC wearing like bandages on
their ears yesterday? Oh for the And what you guys don't realize is that
the RNC, like the TV station sets are, they're like up in the
uh what would be like I guess the VIP boxes. It's really hard to
describe. So they're looking, they see all of this, but they're also
up in their own little world. And I had when I was when I
did RNC, I had credentials to go up there and like they would get
like but hurt if other press was up there. So they're like weirdly in
their own little bus watching all of this. But I can't figure out what
joy Read's thing is. All right, Donna, real quick, what's up?
Good morning, Casey. Hey, it dropped yesterday that Chuck Schumer went
to Rejolvis Beach last weekend to urge Biden to drop out. And I'm wondering
if maybe it's not COVID. Maybe he brought him some of his uncooked hamburgers.
Uh, you know, maybe I don't know Schumer. Uh, Schumer
at the very least has been consistent on this, which is, as you
know, just a weird to me as anything else. But all right,
so you're going with Salmonilau. Is Lincoln into the dinosaurs still? Or have
we moved? We moved past that, haven't we? Yeah, we've moved
beyond that, does he? But he likes the museums, right, he's
oh you're a big fan. Yeah, oh okay, all right, because
they got the dinosaur style. Well, though, didn't somebody try to steal
one of the eggs or something? I seem to remember that story. Well,
uh, apparently a trio of dinosaurs have popped up in downtown Raleigh.
They are at topiary so card bushes. They're very well done from the photo
here. This is part of a what is this dueling dinosaurs exhibit at the
Museum of Natural Sciences. But let's see where are they more Square Exchange Plaza,
Fayettevillain Morgan. Actually we have the we have the news audio right all
right, because they got names and backstories. All right? So all right,
so these are the three dinosaurs. Here we go, take it away,
newsperson. We have new information now. Also on the plane crash,
k TV has just learned the names of the four pilots who are on dar
the flight. They are Captain some Ting Wong, we Too Low, Ho
Lee Fuk, and Bang dang Al. That's four. I said, there's
three dinosaurs. That's obviously not them. That's what you get for not previewing
the audio gets put on the button bar, all right, Uh so,
uh let me flip over to this. Let's see you here, all right,
what are the dinosaurs' names? We have Terry the pterodactyl, Trish the
triceratops, and bes Bes the t rex. Why not rex? I mean,
I know it's in the name. But anyway, so if I guess
if you're downtown Raleigh, they're they're gonna you can go check them out.
I hope somebody doesn't vandalize them. We just have some people just hate stuff.
So u ross, that's cool, right the dinosaurs. Oh right,
us is screening a phone call there, so let him finish that, because
that's as far as I wanted to go on this story. That's where I
wanted to end up. Let you know, that's the thing. If you're
in the Raleigh area. I know we got some Triad listeners, but maybe
you're visiting Raleigh, those things will be downtown, or maybe you go to
the state museums. Those will be there for you. But you've neglected to
ask the apparently the pertinent question because as I'm reading the story here and I
just want to know what they are so I can inform you should you have
any interest. I'm then greeted with the following paragraph. The Bright Green installations
are part of the City of Raleigh's effort to celebrate the Dueling Dinosaurs exhibit at
the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences while creating family friendly navigation points in the
area. That's good, all right. The dinosaurs Becks, Terry and Trish,
a t Rex, pterodactyl, and triceratops are set to mark the way
between museums, local businesses, and attractions. Ross, what's missing from this
story, man, other than the types of dinosaurs, the location and everything.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, it's fine because it's
it's so stupid. So the three dinosaurs, according to the City of Raleigh,
also have preferred pronouns. So if you are visiting the dinosaurs, which
are carved out of a bush, make sure you use the right pronouns with
your kids. Apparently the t rex goes by they them. I would love
if we're ever able to actually, you know, like do the Jurassic Park
thing and we got ourselves at t Rex. I would love to watch the
conversation where somebody determines the t rex's pronouns. That is the dumbest thing I've
ever heard in my life. There is no reason for that. Now,
you know. I was groaning during the break right now, you know?
Now you know because Ross heard me, like he didn't see the story,
and he heard me go, oh, dear God, this is where we
are. Yeah, So if you're gonna go see the t rex carved out
of a bush. They them pronouns bigots, the pterodactyl, he him,
okay, m hm, tricerah toops, she her, But yeah, the
t rex. There's no z zim. Wouldn't I have a question. Do
you remember the dumb animal pronouns stuff where they're like, what was it like
frog self? You know? Do you remember the yeah, they had one
for like cats or something too, like, hey, I'm a cat,
right right? All right? Wouldn't wouldn't this be the time to do that?
Wouldn't it? If you're if you're gonna do the pronoun thing, wouldn't
you use animal pronouns for animals rather than confused tweens. I'm just looking.
I'm just trying to make sense all of this. So or you can just
go stare at these things and your kids, I don't know, maybe they
want to picture and then that'll be your day and you don't have to get
into this. Is there sign? Of course there's signage? And why wouldn't
there be? Uh? The Downtown Raleigh Alliance will be a special Jurassic Jubilee
on August second, which is that's first Friday, which always do stuff downtown,
but the dinos are expected to stick around the rest of the year.
Do they have somebody there if you miss if you if you get the pronouns
wrong, how does that work? It's so disappointed by some of this stuff.
Just put the stupid dinosaurs. How hard is this? We have the
museums are great. We got great museums in Northrop or else. You would
concur we have great museums, right, yeah, and I've been there a
bunch. Yeah, you and Lincoln, that's your thing. You go to
the museum museum. It used to be a weekend thing with us, like
every weekend. Right, Just put the damn dinosaurs up. Do that?
Go over to I haven't been over the lemur things. I've only I went
there once. I don't know if they're doing that over there? Can you
just leave? I know these aren't real animals, but why why inject this
in there? Nobody was asking the pronouns of dinosaurs anyway, Like nobody nobody
just wanted to get to know them on that level. They're like, oh
my gosh, look at that. That thing would totally ead me. Pterodactyl,
what do you get, you know, learning the size of an actual
pterodactyl is pretty interesting, but no, we gotta uh, we got to
make sure that we have the proper pronouns. What is this? Are you
mad at me for I didn't do it? You're like angry with me.
I'm just telling you what this stupid press release says. When is the bush
media going to come out of the sky and destroy the bush dinosaurs? Or
could it be an actual real meteor? I what is the meteor's pronounce?
I mean, I you know, before i'd be like, yay meteor.
I was on more about Team Meteor. But we had some positive news lately,
and but I don't know, maybe we can wait till afternoon November.
Okay, all right, well just make sure you get the dinosaur pronounce right.
So, dumb dude, don't they have another Jurassic Park coming out?
I think they do, and it's got like the it's like the chick from
Hunger Games, right, I think they swapped out Who's Scarlett Johansson's gonna be
in it? Oh? It's Joe Hanson. Okay, why did I think?
Why did I think it was? What's her about? Kid? Yeah?
Yeah? Yeah, So I don't I don't know if they're pronouning the
dinosaurs. But yeah, hey, Hollywood, what are you gonna do?
All right, six forty four CaCO Radio program, just go see the dinosaurs.
Why this has why that has to be injected? I don't know,
all right, coming up on the show. You know, I noticed this
the other day, and I love that people are bud hurt over it.
And that is I was on the Netflix, and you know, when you
scroll Netflix, if you scroll down in like movies or TV or even they're
like top ten movies in the USA or top ten you know whatever. I
saw this movie trending in the same way we see Twitter trending. And I
let out a little chuckle because I knew it was gonna but hurt some people,
and I was correct. I'll explain next hang on retrending of the movie
Hill Billy l G. I've never watched this, by way, did you
watch that movie? By the way? Ross the JD Vance's book. Okay,
I never watched the movie. It's just one that didn't strike me as
my kind of movie. So if it's good, great, glad you love
it. But basically it is, you know jd Vance. That was his
claim to fame. He wrote this book, it got optioned for a movie.
They made a movie, had a bunch of big stars, did really,
really well. And the irony is, I want to say, when
it first, when all that was first going on, they love this dude
because you know, he's just into a senate term. His politics weren't,
I guess readily apparent. So the movie did really well. Who's all in
that? Actually? I was going to call it up and then Ross and
I were trying to find something, so a little sidetracked there. Yes,
thank you, IMDb. No, I don't want to register so you can
sell my information, all right, because it like it was, here we
go. Amy Adams is in it from Oh, what's the alien movie I'm
thinking of anyway, Glenn Close, Yeah, you got. I mean,
these are you know, big time actors. Ron Howard was the director,
I think yeah. Ron Howard was the director based on jad Vance's book and
the premise of which some about a Yale law student basically getting called back to
his very rule existence. And you know, frankly, I probably should watch
it. There's probably things that I could identify with there, but I'm just
not a drama dude for the most part. But the movie did really well.
It came out in twenty twenty, so it's had a little time to
simmer. And yet as I was digging through Netflix just the other yesterday,
maybe it was the day before, it was trending within there because people were
going back and watching it. I think a lot of people probably even though
it was a popular movie, had big, you know, big time actors
in it. Almost every report I saw with Advance, when they were announcing
he was the VP pick, they would mention he was the author of the
book that got turned into the movie, and there you go. So people
were out watching it. So of course this is problematic, that's right,
very problematic. Variety magazine is quote very concerned that the movie is surging.
The irony, of course, being that Variety gave it a very positive review
when it came out, So like, literally you can track the stupidity here.
Let's see here Vance's selection. Let's see he'll billy ellogy hill billy eleogy.
I guess this is how it's pronounced. Rocketed to number one on the
Amazon bestseller list in two days. So even on the book side on Amazon,
this thing's banging. New York Post reports Ron Howard's twenty twenty, film
saw a huge surge on Netflix, specifically more than one thousand percent, which
pushed it into the top ten in the US. But Variety's not dealing well
let's see here. Yeah, I don't look. I don't know why even
why even mention it. I guess it would be my question here because,
like every you have, your review is a matter of record. So when
this movie came out twenty twenty, Variety gave it a positive review, very
positive review. I'm just kind of scanning some of this. So what are
you guys going to retroactively go in and like tweak the review. I wouldn't
put it past him, very proud. The author is very problematic. I
don't know, is the content good? You guys seem to think the content's
good. I'm assuming it's not woke? Right? Has anyone seen this movie?
Do you want to give a little book report? You can do that,
obviously, I can't sit here and watch it while I'm on the air.
But people are going and checking it out, and I guess my question
is, what's the problem If that's the way in which they're doing the get
to know with JD Vance, I mean, it's not going to tell you
the totality of his politics. Who he is. There's his story there he
wasn't a Trump guy, wasn't a Trump guy. And then there's and you
can readily find audio of him being asked that in a debate where he says,
look, I wasn't a Trump candidate guy, but I found myself a
Trump president guy. And he wouldn't be alone. That's not an unusual path.
On Tuesday, the paper book and hardcover editions reach number one and number
two on Amazon. You know what they're gonna do. They're gonna do the
New York Times thing, right where the New York Times bestseller list, where
they have all these weird unspoken rules that they just kind of tweak to manipulate
who's on there. They're like, all right, it can't all right,
yeah, but we won't count books that were bought at Costco, which is
a literal thing that they have used to keep the likes of Bill O'Reilly and
Glenn Beck off there with the Killing. You know, there's like five of
the Killing books. Right, they literally decide, well, it doesn't count
if they buy it at Costco because it's it's not full price. So we'll
see if Bezos decides to tweak this thing, because you can't have something out
there that might make one of these cats look good. It's the same thing
with the picture that was very problematic, this picture of Donald Trump. You
got the flag in the background, he's raising his fist in the air.
It's propaganda. Can't print that too much. Absolute absurdity. By the way,
there is a report out and this will kind of walk us into where
we're going. Hello, everybody, it is our number two on this fine
albeit you know, hell level heat morning. This from New York Post Biden
now being quote receptive about possibility of giving up twenty twenty four election. According
to a new report. Now, I will say that his campaign Spoketel said
that's not true. But there was a meeting literally like an hour before Trump
was shot of Democrats, and it was wild. It's obviously the new cycle
in a very different direction. But like his interaction with his allies was like
he was he was trying to fight him for I mean, not physically probably,
but like it didn't go well. And and again it's what is so,
you know, I didn't I didn't mention this. It was something from
over the weekend and it just it's one of those things that just made me
so mad reading it. Now, I realize I didn't mention it Monday or
Tuesday or Wednesday for that matter. But I gotta go back to this because
here we go. All right, So this is a new Hampshire representative.
Her name is Wendy who gives a crap? All right, great last name,
just can't see it from the Wendy Thomas air to the Wendy's fortune,
I don't know, probably not. She tweeted, quote, first, I
unequivocally support Biden for president one percent. And then she said what everyone is
calling dementia could be long COVID. When I had long COVID, I had
difficulty with reading, word retrieval and short term memory. All right, and
let me explain the reason this made me so angry. Knowing dementia or hearing
about it, and Alzheimer's and all of these, right, these cognitive diseases
that just recavoc on the individual that you knew doesn't truly hit home until you
watch it. And I'm sure many many out there ross have you had a
close family member who's had Alzheimer's or dementia. It's okay if you didn't.
But but no, I've been I've been fortunate enough not to experience that,
to truly watch it and experience it is it changes your opinion of it because,
well, for obvious reasons, right, And it's because you knew the
person before, right, You had a solid understanding of the individual. And
only then can you truly recognize what this does to a person. And I've
told the story before, I'll tell I'll tell you the very short version again.
My mother passed away when I was very young, right, she was
mid fifties. I was twenty three, And actually she passed away. My
dad passed away six months later, two wildly different things. Now, neither
of the had Alzheimer's, but my grandmother did her mother, and it created
a situation, and then she passed away about eight months later. But it
created a situation where I'm watching Grandma Biley, it's my mom's maiden name,
which that's now you can get in my bank account whatever, and I'm I'm
I'm watching her, who was one of the sharpest people that I knew,
turn into somebody else. And when my mom passed away, we had,
you know, this is her daughter. I remember even in the midst of
that, how absolutely horrible it was for her for obvious reasons, we had
to tell her, and and then she wanted to know when my mom was
coming by, and we told her again, and then she wanted to know
how my mom's doing. In a conversation literally had to be had about whether
it was cruel to keep telling her. I'm not a very emotional person,
but holy crap, So to recognize what happens gives you a greater appreciation for
why it is so important to be able to recognize treat research on this front.
And I don't know what's up with with Joe Biden. I don't I
don't know if it's that, if it's you know, some people just it's
not the full on Alzheimer's, whatever it is. And it made me so
angry because I don't want people who may notice a loved one dealing with something
like that to go. You know, it's probably long COVID. Now it's
the long COVID because this ghrul of a politician think she's helping. Now now
I am like upset that I forgot to get into this. It's just,
you know, the news cycle was just coming at you on Monday. So
I've literally lost how I was going to wrap this around because I'm just sitting
there. I'm sitting there remembering this conversation. So as we're sitting here and
we're having these conversations, and Joe Biden's you know, intimating that if the
doctor says something, and you know, reports which you know may very well
be just people within the party who who want to get rid of all.
Right now, I remember how I connected this, who want to get rid
of it. I don't know everything that's going on in the background, but
if the president of the United States is dealing with something like this, I
think it's incredibly important that people know because while they may not see it in
their life, and they may not see it within their loved ones, and
I hope that's the case for everybody. Seeing somebody you know and have you
have a bead on them can be can be helpful and understanding it not because
I wish this upon him, but because you don't get it until you've dealt
with it. And so some lunatic from New Hampshire is like, it's probably
just a cold. I get the long COVID is potentially the least helpful garbage
I have seen in a while. So I don't know who's putting this report
out. I know that the reporting is happening, happening New York Times.
Let's see here CNN as well. I knew there was one of the TV
stations according to CNN yesterday quote, he's being receptive, not as defiant as
he is publicly publicly. However, if you look to the meeting that happened,
he like he like went in on Representative Crowe, who's a military veteran's
a Democrat. He picked a fight with him. And one of the elements
is and it's understandable. I get frustrated when I think my like, I'm
not firing on one hundred percent there is there can be rushes of frustration which
turn into anger. That is a part of going down this road. And
again I get it, and Joe Biden does that a lot, right,
Remember the dude he wanted to do push ups, they wanted to fight.
I'm not a doctor. I can't diagnose that. Being said, uhh when
you look at this, let's see here. Of course you had Biden's n
double ac speech, N double ac P speech, which was a nightmare.
All right, So The Zoom Video meeting, which took place Saturday, included
a confrontation between Biden and Representative Crow, and Biden apparently told Crow said,
quote, tell me who the hell that is. Tell me who put NATO
back together? Tell me who did something that you've never done with your bronze
star like my son. Biden also went on to claim that he founded NATO.
Quote I put NATO together. He would have been seven. That's the
math I was doing during the break. Biden was born in forty two.
NATO was founded in forty nine, which either that's not true or that's very
impressive that a seven year old founded NATO. I'm gonna I'm gonna probably go
on the Uh it's not true, and I and I kind of get what
he was trying to say. He was he was saying that, you know,
remember Trump went in there and he's like, everyone's gonna pay their fair
share, and then that was reported as destroying NATO. That's what he's driving
at the problem is the talking points are getting garbled, and you're on the
friend you're on a friendly phone call, and you're you're harassing somebody with a
bronze star over your kid, which, uh, Ross. Can you check
and see if bo Biden has a bronze star? I don't know, will
you? Will you check and see? I know Crow does quote. Uh
oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm This was going to be very
very tight segment, and I have wandered all over just so irritating with the
new Hampshire woman. But Crow said, quote, your message is not breaking
through, mister president, to our voters. Biden shot back, you ought
to talk about it, listing his accomplishments again on national security. Nobody's been
a better president than I have been. Name me one, Name me one.
I don't want to hear that crap. And also, I don't understand
what this mean. Tell me something you've never done with your bronze star like
my son. What does that even mean? Let's see crow Crow is well,
this is an anonymous source, so take it for what it's worth.
At least one member of Congress. They don't say it's Crow said quote,
had the assassination attempt not occurred? An hour later, I imagine fifty people
on that call were ready to publicly come out against him. It went that
badly, absolutely wild man, all right, seven nineteen case, I don't
know what I was trying to communicate there as the main point, but I
think you get the just that call went horribly. I'm not surprised that CNNA
New York Times are reporting that he's quote receptive to this, but maybe he's
receptive in that five minutes and an hour later, he's none but the absolute
inability to acknowledge this. And if you have fifty people that were ready to
come out, and because Trump got shot at, you're now like, Noah,
we're not going to say anything, or got shot. I should say
now, we're not going to say anything. Screw you own it, believe
it. What do you have to lose He's not going to win. Salvage
a little dignity and tell me what the hell that Bronze star comment means,
because I can't figure it out. Seven twenty hang on, wear that with
a badge of honor. Dude's got like a terrarium the size of a room
and eats the snakes too. I mean they you don't do whatever we're gonna
do. Obviously, I grew up in an environment where we ate gritters wandering
around our property as well, so good on you. I remember the rattle
snake being okay, I don't know that i'd eat it on the regular,
and I've never eaten python. Plus I would, you know, I gotta
be honest, I would eat I won't eat dangerous stuff for the bragging rights.
Sorry, I need let me get a sip of water and know what's
up with my voice right now? Ah delicious? All right? Chasing that
Python down. But yeah, so we're on the bug slash snake front.
I guess with the hey, let's all eat other stuff that we don't want
to eat for the planet. And I don't know there's gonna be a lot
of takers, but you gotta have your science story, all right. Let
me get into this. I think this is a fascinating discussion. So let
me you the phone number. You're probably gonna want to use it. Eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. A school counselor in Yadkin
County has resigned. Uh what is her name? Amanda Brewer? So on
Saturday, obviously a lot of people with a lot of thoughts with everything going
on at the Trump rally, and she posted something rather interesting. No it
wasn't the straight up, damn, I'm so sorry they missed. It was
actually a bit more than that. So Brewer, who served as a school
she's resigned already school counselor Booneville Elementary, posted on social media the following She
said, I'm currently sitting on the beach this afternoon, disturbed by the fact,
sickened with myself that I was disappointed the shooter missed when I saw the
news yesterday. I guess she posted this on Sunday. I've allowed that horrible,
horrible man to make me bitter enough to have such an experience. I
was horrified when folks on social media posted they hoped he would die when he
had COVID back in twenty twenty. Have I become this cynical or that cynical?
I clearly need to do some reflecting and some work. And then a
separate post, she says that she loathes Trump, but it doesn't reference what
happened, all right, you know clearly not a Trump fan. But is
that the same which he posted? Is that the same as the nastiness we
saw from the Colorado Right, sympathy for the devil or Benny Thompson's former field
director, Oh you missed, do better next time. The irony, of
course, being that Benny Thompson's like, oh, I can't believe that when
Benny Thompson was the one who introduced legislation to have Trumps Secret Service revoked a
few months ago. But whatever, But is that the same what she posted?
I mean, it seems almost like self analysis. Now. Granted,
I don't know that I want her counseling kids, especially if they have questions
about current events. But also I don't know how she deals with kids.
But she posted it to social media, so there is that. And I'm
gonna read it again, and I'm curious what you think. Do you think
she should have resigned? Because it's not to me, it's not the same
as just the real nasty posts like oh man, let's get another shooter in
there, one who can hit a target, right. It's not that it
strikes me as reflective quote. I'm currently sitting on the beach this afternoon,
disturbed by the fact, sickened with myself that I was disappointed the shooter missed
when I saw the news yesterday, I've allowed that horrible, horrible man to
make me bitter enough to have such an experience. I was horrified when folks
on social media posted that they hoped he would die when he had COVID in
twenty twenty. So she's referencing what we referenced. And at that time she
said she was horrified to see those tweets, as most normal people were.
And then she says, I clearly need to do some reflecting and some work.
And then she went in and resigned. I mean, obviously she resigned
after people were like, you posted what, But is that the same thing,
because I I don't know. I honestly, I think it's easy to
say that she maybe shouldn't have that gig. You know, you're influencing kids.
But it sounds like she's disturbed by her own thoughts. And have you
ever been there? Have you ever been disturbed by your own thoughts? I'm
not gonna lie. It happens from time to time where I'm just like I
see a story and I just get so irritated, and then I have to
catch myself because I do that thing where I'm little. I'm like, like,
your hands are turning red because you're getting angry about something. Now.
I don't know that I've ever been like shoot him again, but I've had
some We've all had some dark thoughts. Man. So eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. That's our phone number. Eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Do you do you do you see
that post as the same, because she does. She does say that she
the thought that crossed her mind was disappointment, so that would align with some
of these other posts, but she says it in the context of her being
like horrified that she thought that. And remember, you know, one of
the things that is out there is the constant drum beat of literally this guy's
literally hitler, he hates women, he's a he's a rapist, he's a
this, he's a that, And and you get that drum beat every day,
and you allow yourself. I mean, it's interesting that you're a counselor
and you would allow yourself to be influenced like that. But I don't know
if I see that the same. And I admittedly I'm on the phone as
to whether she should have resigned, and I let probably irritate some people,
but like recognizing that is far more than a lot of people do. I
mean, you, guys, if you're on social media, you see people
every day who are absolutely in denial with the the brain rot that has set
in with them, and her post is about recognizing that. But again,
I still I don't know if I want her advising kids, so I don't
know that I trust what she would tell them. But I'm also not in
the Yadkin County Schools district. So do you think that she should have immediately
resigned? Do you think that that post is as bad as the very blatant
ones that we saw from the individuals I mentioned Bennie Thompson's field director the Colorado
rep and many others, or Jack Black's partner down there in Australia, Kyle
Gas. Is that the same or is it different? And should she have
resigned? That's the question I'm thrown out to you as as we truck through
the show eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four The phone number.
We'll get into your calls here in the next segment. First race Stagic
from the Weather Channel here to you know, do his thing, and his
thing is hellish. So but but rain, but lots of rain, so
that's yeah. Yeah, flood watches east of Rocky Mount There'll be some downpours
in some spots, a little week low pressure. I'm going to try to
come over the top of US as we head on through the next twelve to
eighteen hours. Maybe a little bit of coverage today on the showers thunderstorms.
Yesterday only a trace. Greensboro was to sail with the airport, and in
Raleigh at RDU no rain, so we got into the mid upper nineties today,
low nineties, no heat advisories, but still heat and it's close to
one hundred. I think likely showers and thunderstorms as we head through, probably
after three or four o'clock into early tonight, and then tapering off after midnight,
and they'll be back again tomorrow. Tomorrow though, temperatures only in the
middle of number eighties, and I think we'll stay there mid upper eighties through
the weekend and early next week, and we're gonna get into this a little
bit wetter weather pattern with rounds of showers and thunderstorms out each day. We'll
have them on the best coverage, best chance they'll be during the afternoon hours,
but that doesn't mean one of these mornings that we may not see some
sneak up a little bit earlier. There may be a day two days in
a row you get no rain, and then the third day you get it,
and you know vice versa. You could get rain every day. I
mean, it's just really casey one of those situations where you know you're not
gonna be able to pinpoint exactly who's gonna get it on which afternoon. I'd
just say, you know, be prepared. If you are heading out to
the beaches for the weekend, Yeah, you'll have time to be out on
the beach, but there'll also be storms in the afternoon hours too, so
you have to be advised if there are some mornings there could be some stronger
storms. Nothing widespread of your but at any time. I like we had
yesterday a couple of storms and uh Yadkin County. I saw some trees down
in other counties. Uh isolated, but still there could be some stronger storms
with some strong winds too. So uh yeah, just keep grating, gear
handy, and exercise the wet weather driving skills and uh, you know,
just know your limits across nobody has those skills stuff. Nobody knows. Everybody's
like it's the first time it rained or something. It's just the worst I
understand. Yeah, And by the way, I don't want to quibble with
you, but the easiest way to know when it's going to rain is when
Casey wants to do something outside, and it probably goes for others. So
yeah, so if you if you see they see Casey outside, they know
it's going to rain. So ye, get the rain gears. All right,
Uh, do appreciate it, and uh we'll talk in an hour,
Thank you, sir. All right, all right, everybody wants to comment
on the Yadkin County counselor. We'll get into that next. Hang on,
Sorry, I'm just looking at something. Yeah, Ross, everything's dumb.
That's that's my comment on that. So sorry, we're Oh, we're doing
my favorite thing where we literally work on some sort of tech issue during the
show. All right, so here we go. Yadkin County School District councilor
has resigned. The name is to do Vanda Brewer and this follows a post
from Sunday. She tweeted the father tweet Actually I think this is Facebook,
isn't it. Well whatever posted this on the social said, I'm currently sitting
on the beach this afternoon, disturbed by the fact, sickened with myself.
I was disappointed the shooter missed. When I saw the news yesterday, I've
allowed this horrible horrible man to maybe bitter enough to have such an experience.
I was horrified when folks on social media posted they hoped he would die of
COVID in twenty twenty. How have I become that cynical? I clearly need
to do reflecting and some work, all right, So it's it's not as
straightforward as some of the just you know, she'er nastininess you saw, saw
and heard, I guess on the part of jack Black's cohort there. But
is it different enough that she shouldn't have resigned because she seems aware of it.
But also I don't know that she I think she sees a problem with
it, but not enough where she would want eighty on this thing. So
I don't know she resigned, But we are curious what you think. All
right, let me get to the phones, Jackie Europe first, go right
ahead. Yeah, I think we need to raise the bar for teachers because
when I was growing up, this would never happen. And it's one thing
if she said she hopes he's not president, but as a former president,
teachers should you know, show regard for their leaders because this community helpers most
presidents back us up. She doesn't like the private school voucher thing, Well,
the money fils a child, and that's the way it should be.
So that's where this is probably coming from. And I just been disappointed that
we can lower the bar for teachers. Well, and there was a way
I would do this. Yeah, that's and that that is the thing that
you know, the privacy with which and obviously it was a different time,
and thank you for the call there, Jackie. Like, I didn't know
much about my teachers outside of school, and we didn't have the social media,
but and that's it was probably better that way. Remember how amazing it
was to see a teacher out in the wild, Holy cow. And when
I was dating that teacher, like, she wouldn't go to bars in the
district that she taught in, so we wanted to go out and do something.
We literally had to not be in the district. Now, she didn't
teach in the district where both of us lived, but that was the privacy
was valued. So I don't know what the rules are, but yeah,
putting that out there, obviously it's successible because parents saw obviously the kids can
probably see it. Oh this is perfect, do you know what Boston Paul,
Good morning, to you on your anniversary. How are you doing?
I'm good, I guess. But for those of you who don't know,
it is Boston Paul's anniversary. Back in nineteen sixty nine, he failed to
rescue a drowning victim on JEFFA. Cutick. So, yeah, just let
her die, Boston Paul. Joe, Well, I went to the donut
shop or whatever he did and didn't do anything about him. But she drawed
to Kennedy Kiwish Yeah, yeah, yeah, your teacher friend. And you
know she wanted to be out of district because she she didn't want people seeing
you with her. Really anyway, you know that she did the right thing.
He's dying because she was doing a tooty way of expressing her feelings.
And it comes back to the shooter with me. Was he's he was twenty
so through school. Oh, he had the opportunity to hear the song Barack
who's saying Obama? Now I'm sure they weren't singing that about Trump and those
schools, but I would like to know what these teachers were saying in those
schools because I think it's coming down to education and it's just it's just getting
crazy. So why did you not respond with this poor woman trapped in the
car? I mean, what would what did you have better to do?
Does it haunt you to this day? These are the questions I don'tus were
just made fresh. He just got them browing, you know you? Okay,
all right, well I have a good one. Sorry, you carry
that with you? Okay, all right, there you go Austin Paul his
anniversary. I just wanted to let everyone know, Uh, Chris, let's
get Chris. Call real quick, Chris. I got about a minute and
a half. Go ahead, Hey, good morning, Casey. First,
I think that this lady is on the verge of suicide. And my brother,
he's a soldier, he was questioning. He had the same questions inside
his head before he committed suicide. So I think she needs some counseling herself.
Also, remember and when fighting monsters, we got to be careful not
to become the monsters. And I think that's what she's realizing. She's becoming
a monster that she's trying to fight. That she thinks she's fighting against the
weird, Uh, the weird Barack Obama songs. Man, but the kids
going or this one right here? Love, say remember this to make a
promise to the audacity of all. We could make a change the store with
build it and and that's all I can take on this fine morning. So
yeah, yeah, I kind of know what you're saying, sir. The
school kids with Channing. Do you remember, oh man, I was just
thinking about this. Do you remember the audio of Ross Were you on the
show? Then? I want to say, this was so early. Do
you remember the teacher who was screaming at the kid for disrespecting Barack Obama?
I do remember that. I was here for that. Yes, okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah, like yeah, look, there's a lot that's
different, unquestionably, and again I see that almost universally in my email,
and then with the callers, they're like this, the counselor's got no business
instructing kids, if only because of the public nature of the post, which
you know, I can get behind that. I can get behind that.
Yeah. Obviously, if parents are seeing it, the kids are seeing it.
Even if the counseling that's being done is straight down the middle, the
kids are still seeing that stuff. And unfortunately, yes, I you know,
we get we get into this debate. Ah, it's my freedom of
speech. You're absolutely right. It absolutely is, But there are certain professions
where you just can't do that right. And in the same way that law
enforcement guys are very prickly about what they'll post on social med which is smart,
by the way, right, it's different for Ross and I. Right,
our job is to tell you what we think. And even and even
then there's stuff that we just I'm not even gonna get into because it's my
day off, leave me alone. But when when when you're working with kids
and you're in a school setting, yeah, and and like we've lost that,
And I think a lot of it is because we have so many I
don't know that this woman is activist in the sense that she's out marching with
signage and decoration in her office or any of the rest. It looks like
she posts on the regular though, But you know, we got you know,
your blue hair teachers out there shooting videos like literally mocking parents. Like
we've we've gone over the deep edge in some cases. So maybe that's why
I look at this and I'm like, this isn't as bad as some of
the stuff I've seen, you know, teachers filming these videos like yeah,
those are my kids, these are my kids. And when I get them.
I'm gonna I'm gonna teach them about this, and you can just you
know, kiss my whatever. Like the audacity to make videos like that,
the fact that they exist out there, and then you know, parents get
mad and the teachers like, oh, why is this happening to me?
So while this is a liner version, it's still sending the same message.
So I think I'm kind of convinced on that. All Right, a few
other things to get to. Uh. I got to play this audio again
because it's just so backcrap crazy. This is Joy read, this is MSNBC.
This is insane. But I'll let you be the judge. I probably
maybe I shouldn't have labeled it. Maybe you think it's perfectly logical. Here
we go, compare and contrast Trump, Biden and fire away Joy. These
two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for
whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op during an
active shooter. What is her? Have you figured out what her beef is
is? Because I can't tell if her beef is. I think I've figured
it out. I think her problem is she feels the Secret Service didn't there's
a conspiracy and they didn't whisk him away fast enough. Is that what's going
on here? Because she does for whatever reason, that's what you say when
there's a conspiratorial or you're trying to be funny and she's not trying to be
funny. For whatever reason, he had the opportunity to take this iconic photo.
What do you think is the part that most contributed to that photo taking
nine seconds to get him from the podium to the vehicle, or the part
where they shot him, because I promise you one could exist without the other,
but the one other one could not exist. Do you know what I'm
saying. If they didn't shoot him, it's not an iconic photo, it's
just a security issue, and they're whisking the protectee away as Trump's been whisked
out of there. He was speaking in Vegas and they had some lunatic jump
on the stage and they covered Trump and moved him off stage. But that's
not how you get iconic photo. You get iconic photo because you shot him,
but you're a lunatic. Continue, I'm sorry. These two men are
both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason,
was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op during an active shooter of
the situation. Weird situation. We'll figure that out one day. But what
are we gonna I'm sorry, I can't what are we going to figure out?
I mean, there's lots so we need to figure out. You're you
think there's going to be a Senate hearing on the speed at which they remove
the protective to the vehicle. I mean, like this, I'm only interested
because this isn't one of the conspiracies that I've seen, and I've seen a
lot. Like basically, the campaign shot him, you know, for likes
or votes or something. Right, that's the thing that exists out there.
But now the conspiracy is the speed at which the Secret Service moved. I
don't know, it kind of looked to me like they moved. And remember,
he wanted his shoes. He really wanted his shoes. I'm sure they're
very nice shoes. But like it looked like the speed at which because initially
they get him down and they cover them, right, because shots are still
happening. That's that's their job. You got to cover this dude, so
if another shot rings in, it's not hitting him. And then they figure
out they're going to move. You can tell that they are setting their the
plan to move. Like if you watch this, even if you don't have
audio, you can see what's going on. And then they do this,
they encapsulate him and from the encapsulation, probably to their dismay. Admittedly,
right, if you're if if you're in protection, you you want to protect
e to go one hundred percent with the program he did the he did the
fifth thing. I don't know what your beef is, ma'am, other than
that you're a lunatic. Survival of that and and bouncing right back and going
right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sinus straight
yeah, yeah, yeah, you know why because they shot him and and
then he went. Did you see the video of the people in the hospital
where they took him. There's a there's a dude filming in the waiting room,
right, because they're just they're just at the hospital doing hospital stuff,
right, little hospital there, Butler or whatever, and all of a sudden,
here comes secret service vehicles. So they're looking out the window of the
waiting room and they see, you know, black SUVs. They see dudes
in suits with guns, they see you know, guys dressed in like swat
gear, and they realized because you know, they're watching the news, they
realized Trump's been shot and they're bringing him in. And these people assumed that
the person that was going to come through that front door and they brought him
through the front door was you know, essentially gonna be they were gonna have
to carry him in. Who's gonna be on a stretcher because they they they
understood that he was shot in the head. And then when they see him
walking the and like the energy within the room, there's a dude in a
wheelchair who stands up. Now, I want to be clear, I don't
think he was paralyzed, but holy crap, if he was, right,
put that in a campaign commercial and you walk again, and joy Read can
lose your damn mind. No, I was just a dude waiting, a
bunch of people waiting, and they see that, and then you know what
they do after they move him through and he's on his own accord, they
start praying for him. These are the scenes that drive joy Read nuts.
Man, she just can't handle this. So now she's beefing over transfer time
from podium to vehicle is wild. This current president of the United States is
eighty one years old and has COVID? Should he be fine in a couple
of days? Doesn't that convey exactly the same thing that he no? Because
statistically he should be fine in a couple of days. That's the based on
what we are told of his health, regardless of his age and his vaccinated
status. Plus he had COVID before, he should be fine. And it
will not have people invoking in a divine intervention, right, And this woman
is going to compare these two things. He's strong enough older than Trump to
have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age. So
if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do
rallies, isn't that exactly the same? I mean, it's not exactly the
same, It's not same incident, but it's it's an elderly man through out
of an illa. It should it's what the what are you talking about?
How much are you having to scrape the barrel to figure out, you know,
to figure anything out? Yeah, you know, you know what It's
like. It's like Eddie Rickenbacker, Audie Murray, He's Audio, who's the
Vietnam dude who literally like basically saved an entire unit and then literally hold dead
too. His name escapes me. One of the most badass soldiers you ever
heard of. Joe Biden, same thing, he's Desmonds. These are the
by the way, these are all people whose names if you don't know,
you've heard, and many of you do know because what they what they did
was was like I don't know if i'd have it in me. Joe Biden,
I had COVID more than once. Where's my medal? Ross? Do
you have a medal for Russa rossa roster you could get a medal too.
I think he had COVID medals for everybody. I think they're just but her
because it wasn't their guy. Yeah, as creepy as that sounds, because
now you've got to wish for Biden one in the year. And I also
think they realize what's again, we don't want to see this happen to anyone.
By the way, it can be clarified, I want Joe Biden to
not die from COVID, right exactly right? Yeah, that being said,
yes, if the worst had happened and this had happened to Joe Biden,
I think I don't think you would have gotten the same reaction. And of
course it's just all hypothetical. We don't know, but yeah, don't live
though, I mean, because they would. There was a good possibility that
Joe Biden could have died if that happened to him, just hitting him in
the ear, going down, being pushed down, pressed down by the Sea
crush service. He can barely walk up a flight of stairs in the Air
Force one. He Shane Gillis bit. He said that Biden is the only
president you could punch assassinate right. He could barely walk out of the room
after addressing the press at the White House. He saw him leave the other
day where he's walking out like mister Burns. And then you have more Parkinson
speculation because he he freezes up and he could barely move and he shuffling out
with that weird gait he has. What do you think would have happened if
that happened to him on stage there in Pennsylvania? It would not have been
the same. And they know it in their butt her over it, and
they know how inspir inspirational that photo is, and they know they know the
power it's had, and they know their guy could not have done that.
It would have been a completely different scenario. You know, I'm when I
saw that, I was reminded of uh Chesty Puller, uh, the arguably
the most famous marine and everything he went through just you know, really the
same thing. Oh when he was shuffled away from the podium. Yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah. You know that's how Puller became the most decorated
marine. And it's also why Marines say good night to him and his ghost,
which is kind of a weird thing. But Joe Biden, same thing.
Absolutely so frustrating. When Van Jones starts to make sense, you know
that the whole thing is just screwed. Man. A bullet couldn't stop Trump.
A virus just stopped Biden. You've got the nominees of this party getting
their butts kissed. Biden's getting his butt kicked by his own party. The
Democrats are coming apart, the Republicans are coming together. The only thing I'll
say is Van, you are at the RNCs. So the fact that Republican
candidates are getting their quote butt kissed, that's what it's there for. That's
like pick up a program, bro grab one. Just look at it.
It's very funny and not just them, like do you see the like Jim
Justice's dog, the West Virginia governor, probably the next senator from West Virginia,
his dog has become like everybody's running around geeking out over the damn dog.
I know that a lot of you want to meet my little buddy.
So if baby dog could come on out here now as the world old to
watch us. You didn't really expect that, did you. But with that
being said, let me just say just this. She makes a smile and
she loves everybody. And how could the message possibly be any more simpler than
just that. It is so wild that literally the media is taken to attacking
the dog. The dog is the problem, and it's not the first time,
Like what do they say much like West Virginia, the dog is illiterate
and fat, or something like we're in such a weird place, man,
I guess maybe it's better to attack a dog because you're like, you know,
something happens with the dog, and I incited it with my language.
At least it's a dog. I don't know. I don't know. We
got we got more audio a little from JD. Van, So I'm gonna
grab that for you, and let's see here. Yeah, I can probably
fit all this in. We'll touch on that and also a little South Carolina
story to share with you. So we'll try to jam it all in here
in the last half hour of the show. But if somebody knows what the
hell Joy reads on or whether conspiracy is, you got to help me out
here. These two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man
who, for whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo
op during an active shooter, right right. Obviously he was coordinating with the
AP reporter because they're all such good buddies. Lunacy man. All right,
a twenty three, we'll take a break, be back, hang on,
But I don't know, probably I see somebody counted the articles this dude was
all in on. Trump is a Russian asset, right, So the the
bigger of the Russian collusion, right, because you had you had different variations
you had. He's a useful idiot too. He is a Manchurian candidate,
right, and Max Boot was all in on this stuff and he just got
swallweld, which I think is amazing. So if you don't know what I
mean, his wife was just arrested for be it a spy for Korea,
South Korea. This is weird. Basically, she didn't register as for an
agent. She's doing some stuff. So maybe spy is a strong one,
but it is the word it is. That's it is why that law exists,
right as a way to apprehend people we think are spying. So,
mister Russian asset, Russian collusion columnist, dude buried to a spy. And
by the way, when you look at the picture of the two should have
been obvious. It just like swallowell right, He's like, why is this
smoke show? Chinese woman want to hook up with my dumb ass? Oh
yeah, yeah yeah, And of course he's he's one of the most vo
Has anybody ever thought me? Has you ever thought Marky might be a spy?
I just assume that, like every female I've ever been with has been
a spy, because I'm that important, you know what I mean? Like,
well, if they weren't a spy, I'd be like, oh my
god, you're not black widow. What It's like every dude wants to be
James. Yeah right. Plus, you know, don't take this the wrong
way, but you're you're punching outside your weight class too, right, like
your your wife could is good for you because you younger than you, you
know what I'm saying. So like you scored, you scored big, but
then in your mind you got to be like, yeah, maybe she's a
spy, right, never crossed your mind ever? Ever? No, it
every day does oh? Okay, every day? Good good good. So
And it's funny because uh I said this to Ross off the air and like
the immediate dude answer is like, that'd be amazing. That's what I'm saying.
Guys are such guys man because you're just like, ah, now I'm
involved in the cloak and dagger. Well look, you know, I don't
know if she's using his she's obviously using his connections and you know, the
circle within Washington that's gonna be very useful for what she was doing. But
spy might be a strong word. But still, like if like the amount
of hypocrisy to run that game for that long and then literally, you know,
roll over in bed, there's your spy. I find that wildly amusing
because that's because I'm a horrible person. So that's fine. All right,
Hey, you know somebody asked me this the other day, and I did
not have an answer, but maybe we have an answer. What happened to
the frat boy, the fratborough party at Chapel Hill with all that money that
was raised, Well, they were up at the RNC. Yep, yep.
And in fact, let's listen to a little bit of this. Bob
tried to take down the American flag on our campus. We knew we couldn't
let that happen. We stood guard, we held it up, and we
did not let it fall. It was all about respect, not just for
the cloth, but for everything that the flag stands for. Too many people
have sacrificed everything for it. The least we can do was keep it fly,
and tonight we are proud to honor our flag again. All right.
So you know, pretty very red meaty I call, you know, certain
people that they're going to bring. It's not a bad thing, but like
you know, that's pure raw ross stuff. But I did hear Kyle in
News in his story was saying that they're planning like flag a paloozer or something.
So I'll be interested. I'm assuming my invites on the way. We'll
see. But yeah, so a little confirmation that they do have some planned
I don't know the details of it, so so that didn't surprise me that
they showed up. I'll tell you what did. If you're the director of
the Secret Service, why did you go to the RNC yesterday? Cheetle is
the woman's name? Like that blows by? Well, how did you think
that was gonna go? I mean, obviously the Secret Service is a component
of the r n C as they are the d n C. Right,
secret Service protection not just for uh for Trump, but you know, uh,
uh there are let's see because RFK he's got Secret Service now and I
think I don't think he was speaking, but I think he showed up to
the thing, So like I get that, But why would you show up
knowing that it's going to go like this? They just mobed this woman.
You are an house the president, the pest president, the u answer to
the years, the pensident, the presidents that have had this good of protect
her from crying out Like it's so weird to me, why would why?
And then the like uh and then to like wander into the crowd like what
was what was hoping to be accomplished? Her? She doesn't need to be
there? Uh in there? She could be in a in a a an
area where the public can't access, and there's a lot of those very there's
there's all these different layers. You still gonna get members of the media in
there because they can pretty much go wherever they want. But that was it
was just so strange to me that she showed up there and I don't know,
maybe that's her taking her medicine and she's gonna claim. Oh, I
went and I talked to the people, and you know, I've got a
lot to think about. But like every day, every day, it's it's
new stuff. If you haven't seen the picture that Elon must tweeted out yesterday,
I was gonna retweet it, and then I got sight tracked on something
like you can literally see you can see the secret Service ladder and then like
ten feet away is shooters ladder on the outside of this building. It's just
it's just wild. We find out too that where is this do We're getting
a more definitive timeline now they're saying twenty six minutes maybe too long of a
time for law enforcement had between the time that they noticed something was wrong to
the shooting. Right now, new reports out say maybe in as little as
ten minutes, you're ten minutes still seems like an eternity to do something,
doesn't it? Again, in your mind the way that you process that,
how you think secret service and protection works. Ten minutes is a lifetime.
So much of what they do is predicated on instantaneous reaction, right that you
train for, and you train for and then you kick in. Muscle memory
kicks in and you do these things. So to have ten minutes and knowing
that this dude went and literally hit a hit the snipers with a rangefinder.
Now he's carrying ladders that did look like a five foot ladder, not a
twelve foot ladder. But it's hard. You know, you're making a judgment
call based on a photo that's taken from some distance away, but it's like
it's not even around like the side of the building. It's in the parking
lot next to another ladder, which, by the way, that's kind of
weird, don't you Why wouldn't you use the other ladder that is clearly there
that I don't know, will probably never know, but get stranger by the
day. And then for her to show up. She didn't really answer any
questions. She just kind of stood there and got yelled at, but absolutely
wild. All right, speaking of wild, you like rain, raised agic's
he's got rain for you. Yeah, we do lots of it for days
and days, and mostly when you want to do something fun, that's when
he's gonna get you. So yep, pairing up the animals, right,
he and she all that stuff, and over the next let's go five to
seven days across the state anywhere between. Now this's on average anywhere between,
we're looking at two to up to four or five inches of rain cumutively,
So that adds it up. If you get hit multiple times, you could
be by this time next week five six inches of rain in some spots.
So that's good. Because a new drought monitor actually just popped out. It
comes out every Thursday, in case you didn't know. And most of the
state's actually under some level of drought. Yadkin County Columbus County both under extreme
drought. That's D three. So the rainfall a lot of us in severe
to extreme drought to moderate drought across the area. You get the message.
Cloud sunshine today, still warming, humid, many of us will still be
in the nineties, probably lower nineties though, and then tonight, we'll see
that chance of showers and thunderstorms. Let's start picking up here this afternoon into
tonight, and then overnight we're in the sixties and then the upper eighties tomorrow,
probably been an upper eighties through the weekend too, with scattered showers and
thunderstorms each day on the buys will be toward the afternoon hours, but some
days it'll be during the morning too, So that's more likely to happen over
the upcoming weekend. So we got doesn't work great, but I promise there
will be dry hours where you're gonna be kind of like, well, rare
is wrong again. There isn't a it's gonna be like that case. See
you know the days where you're like you can go outside. Yeah, we
have a tally board. Day was wrong, right, and we just flip
right and there's more checks. There's more checks next to the days he was
right, right, right, yeah, yeah, right, yes, So
it'll be like that where you're kind of out out about like, well,
where's all the rain, and then in the afternoon it'll be like pouring.
You'll be like, oh, there it is. So that's the kind of
uh kind of way going to be probably over the weekend. We're it'll be
the best chance of the dry hours will be in the first part of the
day. Not saying it won't rain, but you know, the trend is
wetter weather ahead and it's probably gonna last into next week. Okay, all
right, well there you go. Everything's ruined for the server future. Thank
you, sir, appreciate it. Okay, all right, and we got
Jeff Bellinger Bloombird news coming up next. Hang on, good morning. Case
it was a split decision on the street. Yesterday, the Nasdaq had its
worst day in over a year. It fell five hundred and twelve points as
some of the biggest tech components took a hit. The S and P five
hundred lost seventy nine points, but the Dial climbed two hundred forty four points,
six tens percent to a new record high. Could turn things around now
today the Dow futures have been pointing lower all morning, S and P and
NASDAK futures been pointing higher. The Labor Department just reported the two hundred forty
three thousand workers signed up for unemployment benefits last week. That was twenty thousand
more than the prior Federal Reserve officials from around the country indicate the economy was
growing just slightly in recent weeks. Reports from some reasons a region said there
was no growth or even a decline in activity. Price pressures continued to ease.
Warner Brothers Discovery is reportedly thinking about splitting its streaming and studio businesses from

ALRIGHTY, appreciate it. Jeff, have yourself a good one. We'll
chat tomorrow. Sir, Kay, you have a good one too, take
care? All right? Oh that's interesting. Wow, Okay, all right,
I don't watch that show anymore because it just got awful. Ross.
You guys watch the Boys on Amazon. Okay, apparently they had to they
had to change, They had to like reshoot their season finale due to the
Trump assassination. So I can only imagine what's in there. Well, that's
nice. We're just Russ and Ever chatting off the air. The Joe Biden
needs to stop doing interviews, if if if I'm advising him. I don't
know how they keep getting progressively worse. But this bet one is it's something
man, I would play you just just play one cut audio. Just because
we have a very short time here. Lloyd Austin has been his his defense
secretary. I think for what the entire time, right, one would think
you'd have a little time to get to know him, although we did have
the story saying he hadn't met with his cabinet in full for since October's something
so I don't know, but like I want you to imagine Trump saying this
in an interview, and I think you'll get it. And so it's all
about it's all about treating people with dignity, and it's about making sure that
we're coming. For example, look at the heat. I'm getting it because
I named a yeah, starturing defense for a black man, I named Kanji
Brown. I mean because of the people I've named, But what all right,
so Lloyd Austin, that would be his name. And arguably, military
and changes within the military have been a high priority with this administration. Right.
We've seen a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff that people don't
feel is bringing about a better force. But they've been active and you don't
remember his name. But like, strangely enough, that was the that was
almost the least troubling part of that. He listened to him. He sounds
not awake, and so it's all about it's all about treating people with dignity,
it's about making sure. I just can't what was the what was the
other thing ross the quote you told you were telling me, you're saying he's
not worried about black support now because they don't pay attention till after labor Day.
I couldn't pinpoint what is the most racist part of or the you know,
the super racist part of that. But that sounds super racist, right,
And it's not even what does that mean? These are all out,
they're all doing the car things, spending cars around. What is he implying?
No idea, but that'd be et interviewed. The more that's coming out,
it's just bad. And it's not even about the flubs and the glitches
coming out of his mouth. It's the whole package altogether. You look at
him, his eyes are closed, he can barely talk. He's like whispering.
The dude looks like he's two seconds away from death. It's just such
a bad look
