WEBVTT 1 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:25.640 All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is Tuesday here on 2 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:31.559 the k c O Day radio program. Glad to have you along. Boy 3 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:36.039 oh boyd we got we got some fun stuff to get into this morning. 4 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.719 Ross. Check the tally board. How many shows left till we abandon everyone 5 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:47.479 for counting this one? Yes before four? Look at that four, nice 6 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.679 even number, right, easy to understand. I hear two plus two equals 7 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.840 that under old mouth anyway, So yeah, this is your daily snarky reminder. 8 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.040 We're not going to be here next week, Ross Is, You're gonna 9 00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.519 be fighting communism and Turkey, right, so you got a busy week. 10 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.079 I mean, not necessarily in that order, but yeah, yeah, yeah, 11 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.079 yeah, yeah. Well every day is a fight against cotterism around these 12 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:22.120 parts. So it's not helpful when some would argue that the very elected officials 13 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.760 that many of you listening to the show this morning, that you sent to 14 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:41.879 Washington basically undermined the absolute monstrosity and dismal tenure of bay Orcis at the very 15 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.359 least getting his hand slapped. But that's the thing that happened yesterday. So 16 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:52.480 if you don't know, basically, the cabinet official presiding over the absolute sacking 17 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.519 of our border, which, by the way, I saw this fun little 18 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:04.159 little nugget yesterday. You can actually put a dollar amount on this. According 19 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:09.599 to a report issued yesterday, the current Biden migrant crisis is expected to cost 20 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:21.719 taxpayers four hundred and fifty one billion dollars a year as it pertains to you 21 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.759 know, the run up and then the eventual Hey, come on in, 22 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.639 here's a court date. You'll totally show up for what's going on at the 23 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.800 southern border. So nearly a half trillion dollars. And I want to point 24 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.080 out that that is those are numbers that are in addition to numbers that are 25 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:47.560 normally assigned to what is the traditional US immigration and naturalization budget and expected costs. 26 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:54.360 So you know, we identify a certain number and different types of citizenships, 27 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:59.439 green cards, and various paths that we offer people from around the world, 28 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.199 and then we have a process for it. Some of you have availed 29 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.360 yourself of it, right Some of you are are, you know, immigrants 30 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.560 to this country. You went through the process. It was a you know, 31 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.520 it's lengthy. Again. I haven't done it myself, but one of 32 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:23.199 my best friends he married a girl from Canada. She was working in the 33 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.879 US as a music constructor at a college. They met, they fell in 34 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:35.879 love, and you know, my buddy, my buddy was a He did 35 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:42.240 well. And that's good because it's a really expensive, lengthy process, but 36 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.319 it is. But it is one that has already baked into the cake, 37 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.719 so to speak. Right, I can't believe that when he was telling me 38 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.560 he had to pay, didn't the offset some of the behind the scenes work. 39 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.439 That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about the influx of this 40 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.120 migrant program. What that cost is going to be factored into that. Also 41 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:09.759 is the an estimate based on getaways which were in excess of a half million 42 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.719 last year, as well as that being a federal financial obligation and does not 43 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.920 speak to anything that states may do independent. Now most of the time states 44 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.639 do it and then they go and somehow they get federal dollars to do it 45 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:29.680 because you know, under the like under the current administration or under Obama, 46 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.759 we expanded federal programs to cover some of the some of the different programs that 47 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.000 were being done at state level. It's like Medicaid expansion. See this is 48 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:44.079 the plan on stuff. Right, You don't want to go state to state. 49 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.240 You don't want to have all of these different things, because remember they 50 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.319 were just going to expand it, and then the courts came back and said, 51 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.959 no, you can't do that, You got to go state by state. 52 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.399 But they were just going to go ahead and do it. And what 53 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.600 it was going to do is provide financial relief to states who were already doing 54 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:04.680 it, having federal dollars pick it up, but also try to get people 55 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.920 at state levels to do it. So may Orcus is up there, and 56 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.560 I know that Marjorie Taylor Green and others are running around putting in articles of 57 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.240 impeachment for everybody and their dog. That being said, I thought most people, 58 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.720 if you were to look at the cabinet and try to identify those who 59 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:31.240 are doing more than just partisan work or doing their job ideologically but in a 60 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:38.759 way that is that ends with poor or at least mediocre results. May Orcus 61 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.639 is on a different level, man. This is a guy who is facilitating 62 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:49.879 this. This is a guy who frankly doesn't seem to care when those in 63 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:56.040 a position of oversight even ask him about it. And it's hard to argue 64 00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:03.879 that I under the interpretation of what is high crimes and missed that complete dereliction 65 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.839 of duty doesn't rise to that level. Why because we have we have evidence 66 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.519 of this, we have precedents of this. And yet as they were trying 67 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.240 to get this whole thing, this, this, this articles of impeachment move 68 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:24.160 forward when they went to vote yesterday to and this was not for them, 69 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.600 but this was simply to you know, get things out of committee and where 70 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:36.560 they need to be. Eight eight Republicans voted with the Democrats, so it 71 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:42.040 didn't happen in two of them. Most of them are California, and I 72 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:46.720 simultaneously understand and don't understand that. Like I understand you're in California, it's 73 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.600 more liberal, but also you're in California, which was much more highly impacted 74 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:55.800 than a lot of places, and you're representing red districts. I failed to 75 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:01.279 understand it. However, two congress folks here at North Carolina decided to be 76 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:10.680 among the eight that included former temporary Speaker of the House Patrick McHenry, but 77 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.240 also Virginia Fox, who represents quite a few of you listening to the show 78 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:23.879 this morning. And I don't understand it. I don't get it. I'd 79 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:30.920 have to unless I see something today with the explanation or some reasoning we may 80 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.439 try to have to get Virginia Fox on the on the show, because I'm 81 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.439 not it's not clicking in my brain, and I don't know. Maybe I'm 82 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:44.000 missing something, but I haven't seen anything I might be missing. I don't 83 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.279 understand it. So anyway, yeah, that's just that was That's kind of 84 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:56.959 the story that was rumbling rumblin overnight. But we'll lean into that obviously coming 85 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.480 up on the show. I'm sorry, just I didn't write it down eight 86 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:05.439 o five right ross eight o five with the yes, okay, sorry, 87 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.720 it's always eight o five, And all of a sudden, my brain's like, 88 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.199 what if it's not Ted Budd, Senator Ted Bud, former Congressman. 89 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.240 He'll join us, and uh, like, I'm not gonna ask him to 90 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:20.040 tell me exactly what McK henry and Fox are thinking. But he knows them. 91 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.720 He served with him in the House obviously North Carolina delegation. So maybe 92 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.399 there's maybe in a larger sense, there's something I'm missing up in up in 93 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.679 Washington. So we'll pick his brain on that and quite a few other things. 94 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:46.919 All Right, dude, I'm sorry that phone call to Harvard, that 95 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.559 phone call to Heart. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? That 96 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:58.399 phone call to Harvard? I I don't want to believe it's real. Do 97 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.480 you know what I'm saying? And like, I'm not surprised, And we'll 98 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:11.080 get into this, but it's like there's a level of being. Look, 99 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.360 if somebody prank calls you one, you have to determine it's a prank because 100 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.080 there's so many crazy people out there. At some point maybe like, oh 101 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.440 my gosh, you're serious. But also if they're prank calling you and it 102 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.960 sounds over the top, and I don't know, maybe it's just from working 103 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.240 in radio, where you know prank calls, whether they're real or not. 104 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.960 I have been a staple of radio for many years. At some point I 105 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.159 think it would click in my brain if it sounds so crazy that this is 106 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.840 a bit, and this is a bit for public consumption, do you know 107 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.799 what I mean? And so you got to figure out how you're going to 108 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.679 not end up a meme, a quotable quote, a chunk of audio run 109 00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:01.799 over and over while people laugh at you. So you can't just you can't 110 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:09.919 just unload. But dude is way too I don't know, simultaneously uncomfortable but 111 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.679 comfortable in that conversation. I thought he was professional, like I think, 112 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.320 yeah, no, that's what I'm saying. You got a battle with like 113 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.440 if you scream and go not today terrorist and hang out right, Like I 114 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.759 think he knew what was going on or he the person that was working there 115 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.679 right was like wasn't a fan of what they were saying, but was trying 116 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.759 to Like I'm not a blind that he was. I'm just saying that he 117 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.039 was. He's in this position where it's like I don't know if continuing that 118 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.559 conversation was helpful, but I also don't know what the other option was, 119 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.120 but just that it exists is amazing, you know. And I felt like 120 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.639 the person at the pict of the phone was like their version of Jeff Bellinger 121 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.360 having a dude the live hit with us. What is that supposed to be? 122 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.559 They got it? They sounded like, you know, like an emotional 123 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.759 fireball, you know what I mean, like ready to go oh absolutely, 124 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.679 yeah, no, no, it's all hookers and blow at five o'clock for 125 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.759 that dude. Yeah yeah. I feel like I feel like we're humanized. 126 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.000 Jeff. I just want to point I just feel like we humanize, you 127 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.080 know, bring out, we get different layers. I love Jeff because he 128 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.039 is a professional. Yeah, it's professional. You can't shake the man, 129 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.720 He's unshakable. Yeah, so you think that maybe Jeff Moonlights is Harvard admissions 130 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.080 guy or he's his cousin. The guy at Harvard reminded me, like if 131 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.559 I had a picture what he looks like. You remember a good morning Vietnam, 132 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.360 the twins that work in the room. Yes, the room, That's 133 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.480 what I picture this dude being like, okay, all right, I'm down 134 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.519 with that. Do that audio is bonkers? Well let me let me do 135 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.159 this. I'm teasing it for you. I'm going to get into the audio 136 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.080 at six thirty five. Okay, so yeah, yeah, you're gonna have 137 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.080 to wait just a little bit. But that's okay. You're up, you're 138 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:03.679 you know, you're doing your thing, getting ready, grinding into another day. 139 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.240 It's Tuesday, so it ain't a Monday, and Thanksgivings not that far 140 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.919 away. Maybe that brings joy to your heart or sheer social anxiety, right, 141 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.759 and uh, you know we're here to help. So it's six thirty 142 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.159 five, will in form, I'll give you a rundown to some other stuff. 143 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.320 Few things. We'll do that next. Here on the KCO Day Radio 144 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:28.639 program one six one at them Talk and f w PTI, two stations driving 145 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:35.600 the best in talk. This is Cacoday and Carolinas Morning News. All right, 146 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:43.879 welcome back. It is six twenty four KCO Day Radio program. Interesting 147 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:50.279 in the in the fact that not one but two local TV stations. You 148 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.960 know what, I didn't check CBS. You know, have to look see 149 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.480 if they did. In the interview too, but I was perusing, I 150 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.200 was peruising Triangle News. But this speaks to a story that we were chatting 151 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.759 about having to do with the Christmas Parade, in the Veterans Parade, and 152 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:13.159 specifically where all of this insanity began over the Raleigh Christmas Parade, going in 153 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.000 to get ready to do their thing, and then all of a sudden, 154 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.399 the city's like, nah, now you can, and you can't because and 155 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.960 then XYZ will tell you know. But the biggest one, the first one 156 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.240 uttered by the mayor, had to do with honoring the honoring Haley Brooks, 157 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.039 the eleven year old girl who was run over during the twenty twenty two parade, 158 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.879 and all of the tragedy to follow that and the city leaning into that 159 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.120 being one of the reasons, and then there was a few others, but 160 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:52.200 it quickly, it quickly came across as not the case. As the family's 161 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.679 lawyer commented said, didn't want the parade canceled. They wanted certain safety things, 162 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.480 and it was well known they weren't seek about it. They they went 163 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.559 and tried to work with the General Assembly. Other communities actually looked at some 164 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.639 of the safety upgrades that the family was asking for, trying to use this 165 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:22.639 tragedy to bring some some some forward progress in creating a safe environment. And 166 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:28.559 uh, and they were basically cast as the villain, right because people aren't 167 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.240 going to make all those connections. They're going to hear that the Christmas bread 168 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.279 that they love is not there, and then they're going to see you a 169 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.879 little snippet about how they well, they couldn't do it because you know, 170 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.360 the parents of the young girl killed, you know, we're not in a 171 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.000 parade mood or whatever. And it was it was really callous in my opinion, 172 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.840 because whether it's whether that is the case or not, or whether it 173 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:56.440 was somebody just wanting to c ya looking at you mirror. It's a horrible 174 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.600 thing to heap on a family who's dealing with enough. If people even get 175 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.679 that impression, while they may not say anything to them, that stuff sticks 176 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.240 with people. I thought the whole thing was awful, as evidence by the 177 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.279 amount of time we spent on the show talking about it. Well, lo 178 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.600 and behold, I'm sitting there and I see Wril doing an interview with the 179 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.799 family. Got a big piece there, big long piece, and then this 180 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.679 morning I saw you see eleven did something, except their big piece comes today. 181 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:30.159 So but I read the entire Wril piece, so you didn't have to. 182 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:39.440 And man, there's some they forgot to ask some stuff in here. 183 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.279 I am they must have run out of time, which is weird because this 184 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:50.279 is a really lengthy piece here. They they never asked the family about even 185 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.320 when they were talking about all of the stuff surrounding the parade and then the 186 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.519 permit and then the being denied and the changes there. At no point does 187 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:03.720 this reporter ask the family how they felt about the process. You don't even 188 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.159 have to come out and straight to ask it, ask how they feel about 189 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.840 the process, because the question you're wanting to ask is did you feel that 190 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:18.639 Raleigh City leaders gave the impression, whether it's intentional otherwise, that what's going 191 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.399 on with the parade is on you, because that's what their lawyer said. 192 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.000 You kind of know the answer, and they were too cowardice to ask it. 193 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.519 God forbid you throw your political allies under the bus on a six one 194 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:37.039 AFM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk nine w PTI and the Triad. 195 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:45.039 You don't feel that that I'll get a little graining after two hours out over 196 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.120 a video game again, I mean again, I can do different names too, 197 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.720 but I can't wait. Okay, Oh, it's gonna be excited. 198 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.559 There's some Walking Dead game coming up. Yeah, and it's like I canna 199 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.000 spoil anything here, but it's from AMC that follows the plot of the TV 200 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.639 show. Oh wow, but you can change like pivot little moments. And 201 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.799 I'm just looking forward to where man you Sherif fan going coral for like two 202 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.680 hours. Yeah, that's what the people want. Got to give him what 203 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.160 they want. Right when you told me about it, I actually envisioned you 204 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:15.279 walking around as the Leather Jacket and Egan dude with your barbed wire bat, 205 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.319 just murdering everybody. Just you know that's what I figured that would evolve into. 206 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.640 But it sounds like you gotta you gotta play through to get to that 207 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.839 point, right, can you play Ye'll be pretty far? Yeah, I 208 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.759 guess so, like because there's like obviously spoiler, and then in the show, 209 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.440 right, there's a big pivotal event where Rick and Shane they're like the 210 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.119 two the two good guys, right, and they have to fight. One 211 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.640 of them survives and one of them doesn't. I've always been like, man, 212 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.319 I wish like Shane had lived okay, and that now we can see 213 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.559 what happens. Well, luckily Carl's fine, right, Chorl's fine, coral, 214 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.640 but he lives a probably long, healthy life, right, I'm not 215 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.079 I've never watched much. I tried to get in. I really did try 216 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.759 to get into the show. If I just tried, I think the deal 217 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:59.559 was I got into it too late and it was just so much catching up 218 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:04.359 that that was like such a cultural phenomenon on Sunday night. It's like everybody 219 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.920 watched this show, but he talked about the next day. The articles were 220 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.279 in everyone. I'm sure we mentioned it. Yeah, it just fell off. 221 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:18.359 Yeah, as it happens. Man, what's that sort of like Marvel. 222 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.640 Dude, they didn't have time. There was an actor strike, they 223 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.400 couldn't get out and promote the movie. I don't I don't even know what 224 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.920 you're talking about. The entire deck deck was stacked against them. There, 225 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:36.200 there's really nothing they could do, nothing they could do. I know this 226 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:45.039 because I read about it yesterday in various places, you know, like gocker 227 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.400 sites and the feminist blogs and stuff. I mean, you just you just 228 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.799 don't get it. All right, we flipped back to this, so, 229 00:18:55.319 --> 00:19:02.039 ah, the Harvard thing. All right, so somebody posted a posted a 230 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:11.400 video of a phone call that they placed to the Harvard Indmissions department. And 231 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:17.440 it's it's real, apparently, and it it's it's long too. How many 232 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.039 minutes is this whole thing? Let me add it up here? One? 233 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.039 Two? Well, you got it. It's two and a half, two 234 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.039 and a half minutes, a little longer than that. Where it is that 235 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:32.480 it is purported to be a woman who is a Palestinian woman who is calling 236 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:37.200 Harvard Admissions on behalf of her son, who is I guess at that transitionary 237 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.279 age. And oh, by the way, her son also is a Hamas 238 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.759 fighter. But when the when the fighting's done, you know, would look 239 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:52.519 forward to higher education, perhaps at one of the world's most well known institutions 240 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:59.319 of higher learning. Horror. And uh So this dude picks up the phone, 241 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.359 and I I spent a lot of time evaluating, like, what do 242 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.400 you do in this situation? And yeah, dude just goes with the flow. 243 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.720 And I would like in a lot of it too. When you call 244 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:18.480 a call center and it's clear the person is not telling you things from memory 245 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.920 or knowledge, but rather reading scripts or they're kind of unplugged, you know, 246 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.160 going through the motions. Some people are saying, well, well, 247 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.720 what you see is you see Harvard encouraging terrorism. I don't know that, 248 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.599 dude. The guy sounds like he would encourage nobody to bug him during the 249 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.079 day because he doesn't really like talking and dealing with people, even though that's 250 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:45.319 literally his job. He's just so monotone. But the woman doing the prank 251 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.680 call, she's give her this. She's very quick on her feet, and 252 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:56.960 so yeah, I think it's the combination of her overt excitement even with the 253 00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:03.119 really dark subject matter, and his treating it like an annoyance, you know, 254 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.359 one of the many annoyances that he has to go through during the day. 255 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.839 Talking to his lessons would be the best way to describe it, but 256 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:18.920 I did laugh a bunch. So for that, here we go. You 257 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.599 Hello, My name is Jamma. My son Hamid would really like to register 258 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.839 to your establishment next year. I think you might have heard of him. 259 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:33.720 He was one of the Hamas fighters who participated in the fight of October seventh. 260 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.880 Real political activist. So I wanted to ask if you have some kind 261 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:45.680 of political activism scholarship. No, all of our scholarships are need based. 262 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.960 There aren't any merit based scholarships. It would not help if he says that 263 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.680 he's Hamas fighter. Everything that a student does helps them in the process. 264 00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:00.359 Okay, so that would be helpful if he writes down that he was in 265 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:07.599 the October seventh in in addition to everything else. Our process looks at the 266 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.880 student's entire secondary school career, both inside and outside of the classroom, and 267 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:19.240 the massacres is an advantage what every eighty of their activities? All right, 268 00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.319 all right, look, we can't dude doesn't want to be there, right, 269 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.319 we can agree on that. He is just like but do you think 270 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.000 you didn't want to be there? Just because of this phone call or do 271 00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:32.599 you think again, because I bet he takes stupid phone calls all day. 272 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.079 It's his entire day. He does not want to be there, period. 273 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:41.160 Yeah, all right, so, but he's so like if I were to 274 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.079 if I were I didn't look at what this looked like in waveform uncompressed when 275 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:49.319 you were dubbing it in. But I'll bet you wouldn't even have to normalize 276 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.240 his audio pattern, which doesn't make a lot of sense to people. But 277 00:22:55.480 --> 00:23:00.000 if if you've ever seen a show where they have audio where you can see 278 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.799 it visually represented, like in an editing thing, and you know they stick 279 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.920 this in movies when they're doing like FBI recordings and stuff like when I do 280 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.440 a commercial or we we have audio, I have to like, I have 281 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:18.720 to gate the audio because inflection goes one way or the other, and you 282 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.240 want it to be consistent. You don't what you don't want a bunch of 283 00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:25.359 peaks and valleys. I don't think you have to do it for that dude. 284 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.880 He is straight, straight monotone. Coupled with not wanting to be there, 285 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.599 coupled with this current line of questioning, which by the way, gets 286 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.039 more insane. But then, like she pulls back from time to time, 287 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.599 listen to this, I don't worry. He didn't rape any captives. He's 288 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.559 very respectful for a gender self definition, you only kill them. He's very 289 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:51.519 feminist, so it would be okay, right, all right. All I 290 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.279 can say to you is that he can apply great. Great because he's very 291 00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.400 respectful for ethnic minority. The only slot of dwhite babies. We we don't 292 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:08.279 need more white male in the world. Right, Hello, so dark, 293 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.799 all right, do you have any other admissions questions? I can answer for 294 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:18.559 you. Yes, we want to make sure about your campus rules, so 295 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.839 we don't. By the way, this is my favorite his hands down my 296 00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.279 favorite part of this. She starts barreling through the rules and what's crazier is 297 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:30.480 the normal pattern would be saying to crazier the craziest, but she like bounces 298 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.359 in and out of that. Don't do anything forbidden. You can smoke in 299 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:45.160 the campus surroundings. I'm sure if you could smoke on Okay, what about 300 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:52.119 drinking? A drinking is not allowed? Oh what about raping? That's not 301 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:57.680 allowed on campus either. And don't he didn't rape any oh crap I just 302 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:02.680 accidentally restarted, all right, So yeah, we're gonna listen to the whole 303 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:06.440 thing. I just love the part where he's like, no, that's that's 304 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:11.160 not allowed on campus either. I mean, I understand that that's his world, 305 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.599 that's his perview, but I'm pretty sure that's not allowed off campus unless 306 00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:18.519 uh ross. Would you see if rapn's up in the city of Boston are 307 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.200 legal? Maybe once I guess technically what Herbert's and Cambridge, but yeah, 308 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.720 I'm gonna check on that. No it's not. Oh it's not legal. 309 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.519 I mean, I you know, you never know, you never know Boston, 310 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.920 right, okay, all right? Very respectful for a gender self definition, 311 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.480 yes, yes, yes, yes, you only kill them. He's 312 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.000 very feminist, so it would be okay, right. All all I can 313 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:45.279 say to you is that he can apply great, great because he's very respectful 314 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.920 for ethnic minority. Is the only slot of white babies. We don't need 315 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.480 more white male in the world. Right. See this is right. Here's 316 00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.599 where I dip out. Man, I'm out. I'm just like, all 317 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.759 right, thanks for the call, I'm out. All right. Do you 318 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.880 have any other admissions questions I can answer for you. Yes, we want 319 00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:10.680 to make sure about your campus rules, so we don't do anything forbidden. 320 00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:18.720 You can smoke in the campus surroundings. I'm sure if you could smoke on 321 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:26.839 Okay, what about drinking? A drinking is not allowed? What about raping 322 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.440 that's not allowed on campus? All right, all right? So I just 323 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:34.400 thought it was just gonna play the last whole part. But whatever, right, 324 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:40.000 So and then finally, so she just asked the raping question. And 325 00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.799 at that point you could feel, you can feel this thing grown and this 326 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:48.880 frustration growing. But she then like, well, she then hits other points 327 00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.920 on her list that aren't exactly sequential. Okay, how about the slaughtering babies 328 00:26:53.319 --> 00:27:02.960 around the campus that's not allowed on campusie? What about wearing a hatred? 329 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.519 I was afraid for a moment. Okay, he's looking forward to being in 330 00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.839 your school. He has a lot of very very fun activities for him and 331 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:17.559 the students and everyone. It would be so much fun. Thank you, 332 00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:26.160 very very much. Remind me of somebody just working at the DMV or like 333 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:32.160 a government office, doesn't want to be there, no emotion, just going 334 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.880 through the motions that, yeah, take a number that down, yeah, 335 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.359 But at the DMV, Nope. Do you think any DMV person who's dealing 336 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.839 with somebody is like getting a new license at any point, like you have 337 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:49.799 any questions? Yeah, so can I rate people with this like that? 338 00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:55.880 That's not I feel like then they might become passively more interested in what's going 339 00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.440 on and they're in their sphere. This dude's just dead in the eyes and 340 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.920 it comes across that way. So anyway, that's the Harvard video I was 341 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.319 talking about. You can check that out. We'll tweet it out for you. 342 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:15.240 That's what we do, all right, Good news Italian Americans. The 343 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.920 Muppets are They're on your side. I'm actually surprised by this, I gotta 344 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.680 be honest, especially when you consider where the how long the show has been 345 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:27.480 on the air, and where it emanates from. But although I'm a little 346 00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:33.480 underwhelmed with who they selected, I'll explain what I mean by that. We 347 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:40.359 got to get into what happened with the Secret Service and where is this? 348 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.440 All right? I think they're playing fast and loose with the verbiage surrounding this. 349 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:55.960 What exactly may have happened that has indefinitely closed the I ten in LA 350 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.039 which look, you can talk about roads different the four or five UH and 351 00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:07.599 various other roads, Pacific Coast Highway, the Hollywood Freeway and which is specifically 352 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.920 part of the forefight. You can talk about main arteries in and around Greater 353 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:21.759 Los Angeles, but you lose the ability, you lose the ten especially as 354 00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.960 it pertains to how it goes between the ports down there on Long Beach in 355 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:30.000 LA. That that's a huge, huge, huge deal. And I'll explain 356 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.599 some of the some of the reasoning there. But the freeway burned down, 357 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.000 well it burned. It didn't burn down, but it burned to the point 358 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.480 where you can't use it. And people had a lot of theories. And 359 00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:45.799 I'm just looking at the statement from officials in LA yesterday and it looks like 360 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:55.480 they're trying to say that it wasn't what people were theorizing. But and but 361 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.640 the way that they word it, I think it still could be they just 362 00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:03.759 want this to go away. There's spending more time on figuring out how to 363 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:10.599 verbally police this than to actually ask themselves, hey, is this a problem? 364 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.799 And is this a problem that could once again repeat and create the nightmare 365 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.759 that we were about to experience here in LA and already one of the worst 366 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.000 traffic situations in the world. So we'll get into that and much more. 367 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:32.799 Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four hang on. 368 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:51.599 All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is seven o seven. 369 00:30:52.319 --> 00:31:00.000 You're on your Tuesday morning Kay radio program. We've got lots of popular 370 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.319 leading the blog this mark, excuse me, the Twitter feed this morning, 371 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:07.519 so as per usual, that's always a good place to check you hear something 372 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:12.079 you find interesting, although you know, sometimes I just start talking about random 373 00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:15.240 stuff that I'd never send ross, so then it's like, ah, I 374 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.599 don't have that to post. So your mileage may vary, but it's a 375 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:25.440 casey on the radio if you want to want to check that out. All 376 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:29.359 right, coming up, I got to get a pid to the the DC 377 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:38.640 Insanity ad. I I feel that this is because some people are trying to 378 00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:44.400 brush this off and do so in a very disingenuous manner. I think that 379 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:52.240 this is a really, really, really important How do I say this? 380 00:31:52.559 --> 00:32:00.440 I think that it's something that those who are those who are invested in and 381 00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:07.640 those who arguably also have it as part of their of their duties. If 382 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:13.240 you will right the expectations for whatever position or job or elected office they hold, 383 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:17.359 I think you really need to. You need to pay attention when stuff 384 00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:22.960 like this Clyde Cooper story happens. And I'll explain why. And if you 385 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:23.920 don't, if you don't know, and I guess if you don't live in 386 00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:30.319 the triangle and you're una where Clyde Cooper's is a the barbecue institution, Man, 387 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:37.319 they've been around what since nineteen thirties downtown Raleigh. Now, to be 388 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:42.240 fair, they are they've been in a new they've been in a new place 389 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.720 for about like ten years or something. But it's right around the corner from 390 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:52.519 where they were right so doesn't look like they want to be there anymore. 391 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.519 And this speaks to a much larger issue. And it's not just an issue 392 00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:59.559 in the city of Raleigh. It's a city city issue. And that I've 393 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.640 talked with folks about on Elm Street in Greensboro, those who were talking about 394 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:12.839 doing business in Winston Salem there near cherrying Forth and all that. I'm sure 395 00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.759 the city of Durham to some extent, I don't I don't know a lot 396 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.480 of business owners over there. But and you know, wherever you are, 397 00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.559 this is a concern that crosses your mind. However, there's been an ungodly 398 00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:30.680 amount of money that's been invested, both public and private into revitalizing and re 399 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:37.279 establishing these these downtowns after and it wasn't just a North Carolina thing, but 400 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:45.440 it was after you know what it is society wanted didn't necessarily favor downtowns. 401 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:50.920 And so if you're going to do all that and then you're going to immediately 402 00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:53.240 squander it, and then you're going to ignore people who are concerned about it, 403 00:33:53.319 --> 00:34:00.519 well, then arguably you're you're dereliction of duty in my opinion, if 404 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:05.640 you are in some way, shape or form involved in any of the governmental 405 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:09.440 oversight, the permitting, the you know, the advocacy on the part of 406 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:14.079 hey, we're the city of whatever, and we'd love it if you come 407 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:19.719 to business here, when you have long established business owners who are not the 408 00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.480 outlier saying you know what, I'm just not going to do this anymore. 409 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:29.639 We'll touch on that here in just a moment yesterday, the governor of speaking 410 00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:37.360 of not creating environment very attractive to business. The governor of California spoke about 411 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:44.239 the freeway fire, and look, there was a lot of speculation as this 412 00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:52.960 section of the I ten had a giant fire that rendered it unstable. Okay, 413 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:58.519 so they rendered it unstable, and that is going to that. There's 414 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:02.280 so many reasons why this is problematic. One, obviously, and maybe the 415 00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:08.360 one you care least about, is just day to day traffic in and around 416 00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:14.559 the Los Angeles area and specifically people spanning in and out of attempting to get 417 00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:20.159 in and out of downtown. But two, it is the ability of people 418 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:24.079 to bypass that ability to go downtown, but also to move between the north 419 00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:30.599 and south areas of the larger Los Angeles San Bernardino County and Long Beach area. 420 00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:35.880 So if you want to get between the ports of Los Angeles and the 421 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:39.119 ports of Long Beach and you want to be able to do to hit any 422 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.960 of that infrastructure up there, the ten is a viable and necessary artery. 423 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.280 It's the only way you can do it, really, So to have this 424 00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:54.519 happen where giant fire essentially creates the you know, shuts the freeway down quote 425 00:35:54.559 --> 00:36:01.239 indefinitely, is a huge issue. Remember fifty percent fifty of the imports into 426 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:08.079 the United States come from those two ports. So think of all the all 427 00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:13.400 the ports on the eastern side and on the southern for that matter, Right, 428 00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.880 because so when you get into the big ports, Baltimore is a huge 429 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:24.400 port. Obviously, Miami is a huge port. Houston is a gigantic port 430 00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:29.719 down there, and then all you know, any of the others. I 431 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:31.599 know, I'm leaving some out. But when you get into the big boys, 432 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:37.039 the big boys, that's you know, this is what you're talking about. 433 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.280 And yet just in southern California, those two ports, because of the 434 00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:46.480 amount of crap that we get from China and Southeast Asia, it's it causes 435 00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:51.280 a hitch in the gide up. Now, will you feel it immediately? 436 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:57.880 No, But remember remember what it was like during COVID, and you had 437 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.360 all those ships stacking. You had ships that were stacking out there in some 438 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:07.000 cases for for weeks and weeks and even months in some instance. I remember 439 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:10.880 watching the ship stack into the port of Miami, and I remember flying over. 440 00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.320 It was towards the end of COVID, but I remember, and I 441 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.599 posted some of the pictures when I flew into Panama, which I talked about, 442 00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.119 and they're already when you fly into Panama, you can already see lines 443 00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:27.840 of ship waiting to go through the canal. It's this was on steroids. 444 00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:31.480 Miami same way, and you remember how you felt about that. Well, 445 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:36.639 over in California, they really haven't done anything to improve this situation. Remember 446 00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.320 all of those dollars that they allocated, said, oh, we're gonna we're 447 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:45.519 gonna get additional port funding to make things easier. Most of it was attached 448 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:51.880 to required spending that made green sense. Right, So like if you you 449 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:54.119 couldn't just put in another loading dock, right, you couldn't just put in 450 00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:58.639 a new set of cranes, but you could spend the money on things like 451 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.880 when we need to update port vehicles, so the trucks that run around, 452 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:07.360 except we're going to use them only to buy electric trucks. Like that's that's 453 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:12.800 the garbage that the hands tied, crap that they attached to it. So 454 00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:16.360 I point all this out because this is a much bigger issue just than Hey, 455 00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:22.119 part of the freeway screwed, okay, And when you have that, 456 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.840 you also have the ability of people to use that as an excuse for certain 457 00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.800 things. Well, we'd love to be able to do this, but we 458 00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.320 can't because the E ten and the ability to connect between the ports. I 459 00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:34.679 know what you're thinking, why do they need to be able to connect between 460 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:38.199 the ports, because there's a lot of infrastructure that serves from both ports that 461 00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:43.960 actually lies along that stretch of highway, and there's a lot, there's a 462 00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:47.000 lot of a lot of things to consider. But when people looked at the 463 00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:52.440 fire itself, I think they jumped to a logical possibility, and that logical 464 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:59.400 possibility was people were, you know, had built a city under the stretch 465 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.880 of highway and you know, they lived under there, and as a result, 466 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.159 they had fires to keep warm, to cook food, whatever, And 467 00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:12.199 eventually those fires got out of control and it burned part of this freeway. 468 00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:20.880 And it's a larger it's a larger reflection on what the West Coast cities have 469 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:27.480 essentially allowed to become the norm. Where they're where they're at, where people 470 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:32.039 have taken the beaches, the underpasses and everywhere else, and it's just out 471 00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:37.800 of control. However, that's not what the governor said yesterday, kind of 472 00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:45.920 Governor Gavin Newsom and La Mayor Karen Vass participated in a press conference to talk 473 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:52.840 about the blaze as they're referring to it, and Newsom began the press conference 474 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:58.239 by describing the fire as being set quote with malice intent. Well, what 475 00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:06.599 the hell does that mean? So here's what Newsom explained, and I this 476 00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:14.280 sounds like speculation, but it also sounds like deflection of speculation against what you'd 477 00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:19.880 thought was wrong. Think before you have the answers. Newsom used the term 478 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.679 malice in tent, Bass used the term arson. Well does that mean it 479 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:29.239 wasn't said? I don't know, but was it said by people perhaps living 480 00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.679 under there? Well, that's what Newsom seemed to be going after. Newsom 481 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:37.000 said that the area under part of the overpass, not all of it, 482 00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:42.960 but part of it was in fact least by a company that quote the state 483 00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:51.079 knew well and was involved in active litigation with the company. Apex Development had 484 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:57.559 leased the area to store building materials, which is not unusual. There's constant 485 00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.679 construction going on and not just road construction, and sometimes companies who are doing 486 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:07.199 large scale like office structure construction and others, have to lease nearby areas to 487 00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:13.280 store construction equipment, trucks, equipment, you know, the heavy equipment kind 488 00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:16.599 of stuff, and those public right of ways. It's very popular to be 489 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:23.000 leased out by cities and counties. But you know, it also means you're 490 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:31.480 keeping building materials under under a roadway. And I would assume in California, 491 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.360 where you have mountains of regulations, that that would be a no no. 492 00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:40.280 But I'm not in the construction business. I have a question in North Carolina 493 00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.360 for you guys in the construction business. Can you keep giant piles of flammable 494 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:50.599 materials under a freeway overpass or underpass or maybe that's not a thing out here, 495 00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.039 or I mean, I would think that you couldn't store it, because 496 00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:59.480 in Wyoming you can't. I know this, you can't store flammable building materials 497 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:06.920 within proximities of trees. And let's see irrigation ditches treat a variety of things 498 00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:12.440 that you have to be careful you get popped on that. But I don't 499 00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:16.280 know, I don't know the rules. But here's here's the deal, all 500 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:20.320 right. So Newsom's coming out there and it's talking about how this is a 501 00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:23.800 company that they've been in lawsuits with. He doesn't really speak to what the 502 00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:29.679 lawsuit was, but obviously there was some sort of fight between the city and 503 00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:36.280 the state and this construction company. And he's he's speculating as much as anybody. 504 00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:39.840 He's saying, quote, they stop paying the red they're out of compliance. 505 00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:47.079 This feels very much like there was some beef with this company. And 506 00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.280 I don't know what the beef with this company was back with the city and 507 00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:55.159 the state, but I do know in reading some articles that many other companies 508 00:42:55.960 --> 00:43:04.039 have had there had been amstrung and had their hands tied over attempting to keep 509 00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:09.719 these storage facilities unmolested by people who were going in and stealing stuff. You 510 00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:15.679 know, drug addicts going in and stealing metal, people stealing construction supplies so 511 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:21.360 that they can build shanties and you know, living facilities. It is a 512 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:28.559 huge problem, and the companies have been they've been severely limited in how they're 513 00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:31.840 even able to protect their stuff. So maybe that's what this beef strings from. 514 00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.440 According to Newsom, they'd been subleasing the site at least five, maybe 515 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:44.880 six tenants without authorization from Caltrans or authorization from federal partners. And one of 516 00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:46.679 the people that they were leasing it to, I kid you not, was 517 00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:53.440 a security apparatus, which I think maybe they thought was a walk around when 518 00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:58.079 they were limited on exactly what security they could provide, if only to get 519 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:02.039 more people in the area to deter theft. I don't know all of the 520 00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:06.000 beef, but it sure sounds like the governor of California. And this is 521 00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:10.239 where I'm going with this. Took to the stage yesterday and was upset that 522 00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:15.679 people were speculating that perhaps folks who literally were living under parts of the parts 523 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:22.719 of that underpass, it wasn't all this company may in fact have allowed a 524 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:27.800 fire to get out of control, or were you know, crazy barking at 525 00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.320 the moon and I'm gonna burn it down, man. The noise, the 526 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:35.840 noise of the traffic is too much, and decided to openly speculate that this 527 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:43.280 company arsened their own location, which is mind blowing to me. I know 528 00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.440 what's thinking. This is out in California. But again, this is the 529 00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:51.519 exact kind of thing, whether it is actually impactful or not, that some 530 00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:57.639 idiot attempting to make excuses for their own economic vision not panning out, can 531 00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:01.519 point to and go, well, look it was gonna work, but this 532 00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:07.639 fire happened and it slowed the ability to unload those particular ports by thirty percent. 533 00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:20.440 So not our fault, sorry for the economic downturn. What is this 534 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.320 so you can't somebody's making fun a while, so you can't store near the 535 00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:28.119 ten trees in a while. You know what I'm sir. If you spent 536 00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:32.960 your entire time in southern Wyoming, you deserve every windswept snow blindness moment you 537 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:39.599 ever sucked, you know, ever had to suffer. Okay, you know 538 00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:45.440 up at northern Wyoming where we don't let we don't let you know, we 539 00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:47.320 don't want, we don't want people who don't know what they're doing up there 540 00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:51.639 because we're constantly having to clean up the you know, their their bodies from 541 00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:55.599 the bear kills. We have many trees and technically it was fence line and 542 00:45:55.679 --> 00:46:02.880 it was a tree line specifically National Forestry Line School or BLM, just to 543 00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:07.760 be specific. Yeah, we got lots of trees up there, but also 544 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.199 means we have a lot of critters. So you know, at your own 545 00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:14.280 at your own leisure. All right. So there you go, a little 546 00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:16.280 la thing just jammed into the morning. But I think it's important and I 547 00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:20.920 think it's going to come up again, is all that I'm saying. All 548 00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:23.840 right, So what's Clyde Cooper's beefing about? And what was Biden up to 549 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:31.320 yesterday? An hour from his ownspeop spokespeople in another capacity, literally undermining themselves 550 00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:40.199 hospitals and humas and military and it's not a good look, but of course 551 00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:45.519 it's not altogether unexpected. So we'll get into that. And a reminder that 552 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:50.880 Senator Ted Budd will join us that is coming up at eight oh five phone 553 00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:54.519 number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four back in just a 554 00:46:54.519 --> 00:47:00.719 few so after the show, he's on the iHeart Radio app. Search case 555 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:07.840 o day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, so 556 00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:13.320 I good morning everybody, and welcome. It is the Cacoday Radio program. 557 00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:16.119 I feel like I have to ying and yang on stuff. So I posted 558 00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:21.480 a couple things on the Twitter account this morning, and like, the one 559 00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:22.800 thing's not even new. I just hadn't seen it, because you know, 560 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:25.679 you go back and you check and you see, you know, when stuff 561 00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.400 happened. That means said, there's one thing, Well, there's a lot 562 00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.159 of stuff on there. But there's one video I posted that's gonna make you 563 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:38.039 just gonna make you angry, and it should it should. And then there's 564 00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:42.400 another one where I feel like it's really I don't know why, it's just 565 00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.480 so funny to me. And I think there's a little bit of like nerd 566 00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:54.199 history enthusiasm channeling through because I can I can imagine the strategy session among the 567 00:47:54.239 --> 00:48:00.440 Antifa dudes. So video number one is, say, you see this woman 568 00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:04.440 and she's in a church, in this big, big, big church, 569 00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:08.119 right. I don't think it's a Catholic. I think it's a large Baptist 570 00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:14.239 church. Actually it's over in Tennessee. And she's seventy and she rolls in 571 00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:19.840 there not during you know, one of these services, but rather when she 572 00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.840 just wants some she wants some solace, right, She just wants to be 573 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:28.360 able to be alone or you know, with her thoughts and talking to her 574 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:31.880 God and praying and and so she sits down in one of the well. 575 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:35.719 All the pews are open. She only went in there. And then moments 576 00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.800 later you see these two women come in. And this is where this is 577 00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:44.920 like social anxiety stuff right here, because there is there's probably a thousand seats 578 00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:49.360 in this in this church, and these women sit one sits directly in front 579 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.719 of her and one behind her, which is just evil, man, that's 580 00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:59.440 just evil. Ross. Do you see the dude who his whole stick on 581 00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:02.559 social media? Now that you can select your own seats at theaters. Is 582 00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:07.000 he tries to find shows where there's only like, you know, it's a 583 00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:09.280 weird time on a movie that's been in for five weeks, so nobody's going 584 00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:15.360 to it. So he'll go and he'll find where there's only like that's awful, 585 00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:20.119 you know exactly what's happening, right, So they what they do is 586 00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.280 they'll find like there was one I saw where you could see the only two 587 00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:29.480 seats taken where the back to perfectly centered, you know, in the middle, 588 00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:31.199 but all the way to the back, so your back wall, you're 589 00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:35.719 perfectly centered on the screen, and there is every other seat open in this 590 00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:39.239 whole thing. And all this guy does is him and his buddies they buy 591 00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:45.719 the tickets surrounding those two solo people and then show up and then that's their 592 00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:52.599 whole shtick and they think it's funny. So just trolls, man, that's 593 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:58.119 just the amount of people are making money off just being garbage trolls is amazing. 594 00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:00.960 Okay. So with that being said, so these these two women come 595 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:05.360 in, the younger women, and one sits in front of and one sits 596 00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:07.440 behind this this woman, and that should have been a huge red flag by 597 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:13.360 the way, because again there's every other seats open in this video, and 598 00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:16.920 the one in the front engages with the elderly woman in conversation. And you 599 00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:20.679 see the woman, the younger woman, get out of her pew, come, 600 00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:23.000 you know, walk around, so she's right at the pew entry kneil, 601 00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:27.880 grab, you know, take the two hands of the woman and they 602 00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:31.920 start praying. And for a moment you're like, okay, well, look 603 00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:37.840 that is the obviously don't know each other, but this is fellowship, and 604 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:42.480 who knows, maybe the conversation, you know, revealed some deep concerns and 605 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:46.800 it's just people being empathetic and sympathetic and in sharing in their faith with folks. 606 00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:51.280 Well that's what the woman thinks, but in reality, it is a 607 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.480 ruse. It is a ruse by the woman in the front to get the 608 00:50:53.559 --> 00:51:00.320 other woman to have both of her hands away from her stuff because she's you 609 00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:06.559 know, she's grasping hands, and to also have her eyes closed and be 610 00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:12.840 distracted by being engaged in another activity. So while this one woman is on 611 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:19.440 her knees praying with this this elderly woman, the piece of garbage in the 612 00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:22.320 pew directly behind the woman is kind of leaning in with her head and you 613 00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:29.119 know, praying along, but is using her hands to clean out this woman's 614 00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:34.039 handbag of cash and credit cards. And then police say they then go on 615 00:51:34.079 --> 00:51:37.079 a seven thousand dollars shopping spree. Right, so you're going to Hell? 616 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:38.960 No no, no, no, no, You're not just going to hell 617 00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:43.400 your first ballad Hall of Fame Health, you know what I'm saying? Really, 618 00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.000 the Derek Jeter of health, you're well almost didn't. I didn't you 619 00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:50.280 have one guy who's like, maybe you should go to heaven? The Jeter 620 00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:53.719 was Jeter unanimous or was there one holdout? I can't remember. I think 621 00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:58.400 Mariano Rivera was unanimous Jeter, Right, there was one person that was like, 622 00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:00.599 nah, just had beef with beater for years, all right? So 623 00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:05.159 but anyway, yeah, no, you're like, you're like, Dante needs 624 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:07.400 to fix his painting, do you know what I'm saying? Or fix his 625 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:12.559 book? And then obviously the painting was somebody else. But yeah, just 626 00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.360 go straight to hell, do you know? Don't pass go You might you 627 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:19.000 might get an advisory position when you get there. It's just awful, So 628 00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:22.039 that'll make you angry. And then on the flip side, if you go 629 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:27.400 there. I just tweeted a video out of the the Treehouse Antifa moonbats. 630 00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.480 So these are the ones that you know, remember some were arrested and others 631 00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:35.480 that were engaging with police over basically taking over these woods around Atlanta where they 632 00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:38.920 want to put this public safety center. And I don't know if somebody just 633 00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:46.000 watched three hundred or you know, was you know, member and back to 634 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:52.199 a some sort of ancient history class that they took, you know, while 635 00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:59.599 doing women's studies classes. I guess maybe this is their history thing and thought, 636 00:52:59.639 --> 00:53:04.599 hey, you know what, some of these ancient battle formations that have 637 00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:08.199 stood the test of time and eventually work through the year, maybe we should 638 00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:13.559 try some of those. Police won't see it coming. So sure enough, 639 00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:16.719 I don't know exactly what they're going for. But Antifa decides, you know, 640 00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:22.760 like a like an old Greek phalanx or something, and that's where you 641 00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:28.119 you create like you create like a broad'shead if you will, right, and 642 00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:31.039 it's and you want you want the aggressiveness on the point. So in that 643 00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:35.400 instance, it's not exactly the same, but you would have like spears on 644 00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:37.519 the front, and then you would have like a little bit of an angle 645 00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:43.000 and what you're trying to do as you're trying to you know, wedge yourself 646 00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:47.440 in through whoever your opposition forces. And look, there's you know, there 647 00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:51.840 are a lot of success of that back in the day. I I. 648 00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:54.719 That's obviously not how we fight wars now, nor would you do that octagonal 649 00:53:54.800 --> 00:54:01.519 thing that Napoleon used to win some very decisive battles. But hey, if 650 00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:07.320 you're Antifa, what do you gotta lose? So some Nitwi talks him into 651 00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:09.320 the you know, hey, remember how we they were able to siege THERMOPYLI. 652 00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:14.960 Let's try it, And so they go. The problem is, is 653 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:19.159 the tip of the spear, so to speak, as well as the protective 654 00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:22.920 walls of you know, like the arrow that's going through or not hardened shields 655 00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:32.480 with people you know, wielding spears. It's it's stupid banners on PVC pipe. 656 00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:37.679 And so they decide they're going to bust through this police line like the 657 00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:43.719 dumbest game of Red Rover ever, except the police have actual tactical shields, 658 00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:46.960 and then they throw one tear gas into the middle of their now super bunch 659 00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:53.280 group and everyone leaves. It's just the most comically stupid stuff, and I 660 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:58.039 thought it was hilarious. So and then I started thinking, what other ancient 661 00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:04.280 battle techniques could they employ? Right, there's a lot of chews from like 662 00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:07.679 the Napoleon thing that I just talked about. Obviously, if you go back 663 00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:13.960 to some of the way in which the Celtic tribes fought, they have some 664 00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:21.360 rather interesting stuff. You could channel some of the ancient Japanese, you know, 665 00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:28.159 feudal japan techniques where they would utilize a lot of like obfuscation and camouflage 666 00:55:28.239 --> 00:55:32.880 as well as attempting to deceive on numbers. There's lots of stuff. So 667 00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:38.719 I'm and the problem but the problem is is you all have PVC pipe and 668 00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:45.519 dumb and dumb signs and too because like bright like the Spartans and the Romans, 669 00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:47.159 they would get in that formation, but they would also you know they 670 00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:52.519 have spears. Yes, yes, it's the enormous long spears in front of 671 00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:54.440 them that would Yeah, that's why you have the big shields to create the 672 00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:59.760 tortoiseshell if you will. And then to your point, yeah, then they 673 00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:05.079 stick out these ten foot spears and I feel like it doesn't work without the 674 00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:08.400 spears. What do you think? Probably not so much. But I want 675 00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:12.079 to see him go through a tryal this stuff. Man, I want to 676 00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:15.719 I want somebody just get a hold of some sort of old tactical, you 677 00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:19.159 know, military book and just go all right, So here's what we're gonna 678 00:56:19.159 --> 00:56:22.400 do. We're gonna get the rope and then you know, and just and 679 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:24.119 you know, because I feel like it's just great training for the police. 680 00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:29.920 There's not spears there on. You know what, Maybe you should go the 681 00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.079 Hannibal route. Ross. Do you think Antifa maybe if they go to the 682 00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:36.760 zoo get some elephants. I feel like maybe they put the police at a 683 00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:40.559 disadvantage right coming through. You go a Lord of the Rings. You can 684 00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:45.119 get the super big ones with the spikey the spiky stuff on him. That 685 00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:51.360 could be pretty problematic. I'm just saying, you got you got options, 686 00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:53.760 dude, everyone's And by the way, we gotta tell you. I'm gonna 687 00:56:53.800 --> 00:57:00.920 mention I gotta mention the Hannibal thing too, because I don't know. I 688 00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:02.400 got mixed thoughts on it. I got mixed thoughts on a lot of stuff, 689 00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:06.480 but not the weather. Because Ken moon Man just shooting a straight shooter. 690 00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:10.000 So he's here too. Yeah, here's the thing. Like everyone's like, 691 00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:13.800 ah, we're blow normal. Then last week everyone was like, oh, 692 00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:15.679 we're above normal. So for me, I'm sitting there looking over the 693 00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:20.239 last two weeks going, so it's just been basically normal around here, right 694 00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:23.239 right, I mean, help me out, help me out, ken, 695 00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:28.119 Yeah, Well, yeah, I guess. And today and tomorrow we are 696 00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:30.400 going to be pretty normal, with temperatures right about where they should be, 697 00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:32.719 maybe a little mild or towards the end of the week out ahead of a 698 00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:37.559 cold front. They could bring us a few showers as we look towards Friday 699 00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:39.920 and into Friday night, and then cooler in behind that for the weekend. 700 00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:43.800 So sunshine we'll mix in with the clouds from time to time. Today, 701 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:47.639 temperature's climbing towards the mid sixties, upper thirties Tonight, mostly cloudy Tomorrow. 702 00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:52.079 It will be just a little bit cooler tomorrow, but temperature is still pretty 703 00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:55.239 close to average in the low sixties and then back into the low seventies Thursday 704 00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:59.679 with sunshine. Friday, here comes the cold front. Late day showers on 705 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:02.920 Friday, heights around seventy and in behind it pretty nice weekend showers should taper 706 00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:06.760 off Friday night. So by Saturday, I think we're back to sunshine another 707 00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:09.440 Sunday day on Sunday, but look for highs in the upper fifties to low 708 00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:13.960 sixties. All Right, thank you very much, appreciate it. We'll talking 709 00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:15.400 it out, Okay, alrighty, all right, there you go, Ken 710 00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:20.000 Boon from the Weather Channel. All right, it is seven forty seven, 711 00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:24.519 hang on, thank you. Casey is on ninety four to five w PTI 712 00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:32.039 and the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All Right, 713 00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:36.599 good morning, and welcome back into seven to fifty one here on the 714 00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:47.480 Cacoday Radio program. So story yesterday having to do with a movie project, 715 00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:55.280 a movie about Hannibal and not Hannibal. Lecter, be very clear here. 716 00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:01.480 We you know, we had some good ones and then we had well we'll 717 00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:04.400 just say we had some other ones. And I think I had a TV 718 00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:07.679 show for a while, but I never really never really got into that. 719 00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:14.559 However, this is a Netflix project that's being talked about and it has to 720 00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:22.519 do with the Carthaginian that's a fun word, Carthaginian warrior known as Hannibal. 721 00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:32.519 Yeah. So this is look, this is the whole going through the Mountain 722 00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:37.159 passes with the elephants attacking the Romans, right, even if you don't know 723 00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:43.719 the totality of the of the legend of the and you know how everything is 724 00:59:43.800 --> 00:59:46.519 part legend, part you know, part part reality. But we'll be reimagined, 725 00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:54.000 obviously by or inspired by various writers. They want to do this, 726 00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:58.679 and the guy who I guess put the script and story together is the same 727 00:59:58.719 --> 01:00:00.639 dude who did Gladiators. So I don't know, maybe they churn out a 728 01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.599 very good movie. Here's the problem and here's where people got beef. You're 729 01:00:04.639 --> 01:00:09.760 ready. So it looks like Denzel Washington is being cast to play Hannibal. 730 01:00:16.159 --> 01:00:20.960 I like Denzel Washington, right, who doesn't? Is there other people don't 731 01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:22.960 like Denzel? I don't know if they are, And I don't even know 732 01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:25.480 if any scandal Denzel's had, And frankly, I don't know. I don't 733 01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:30.039 know that I've ever seen Denzel get real political on anything. The problem is 734 01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:37.320 Netflix just was in that whole beef over the Cleopatra stuff right where they and 735 01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:39.400 they made no bones about it, just like we're doing this, We're changing 736 01:00:39.440 --> 01:00:45.840 everything, and you you could argue, and you would be historically accurate. 737 01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:50.880 That Denzel Washington, if you had, if you had the actual Hannibal standing 738 01:00:50.920 --> 01:01:00.280 there, probably didn't share a lot of lineage in common, right, But 739 01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:06.599 I like Denzel Washington. And here's I think that if you had come out 740 01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:10.199 when did Gladiator come out, what like ninety end of the nineties, like 741 01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:14.599 ninety eight, ninety nine, something like that, maybe two thousand, if 742 01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:16.519 you Dinet because it was the same DUDEO did the Gladiator, if you'd come 743 01:01:16.519 --> 01:01:21.760 out the next year and went, man, that was everybody loved that movie. 744 01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:24.159 And we're gonna now, we're gonna do a big feature on Hannibal, 745 01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:28.679 right, and obviously there's gonna be huge. It's gonna be a huge budget. 746 01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:31.079 We're gonna have elephants or least CGI and it's gonna be crazy. Man. 747 01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:35.039 I think there would have been an appetite there. And I think if 748 01:01:35.079 --> 01:01:38.400 you told people that you were gonna make Denzel Hannibal, I don't think anyone 749 01:01:38.440 --> 01:01:42.840 would have said anything, do you know what I mean? Yeah, there's 750 01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:46.519 the historical side of it, absolutely right. Where you'd get some it would 751 01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:52.119 be nerds in Igronica. It'd be like nerds in university places that would be 752 01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:54.000 like, well, actually, and I think that would have been the end 753 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:59.199 of it. But now we're in a very different place where people see these 754 01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:02.599 casting decison visions has done not because they're like, hey, Denzel, you 755 01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:08.639 know, puts butts and seats, but rather to do things just to make 756 01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:14.159 a political point. And I don't think people react in the same way. 757 01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:19.599 Do you get what I'm driving at, Like the difference based on because people 758 01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.440 are trying to go, well, you don't like Denzel Washington. No, 759 01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:24.760 I don't think that's people's problem. I think people are reacting to how you 760 01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:29.679 decided that this was a political hill that you wanted to die on, and 761 01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:34.880 so people are approaching and reflecting on your decision. That way, they don't 762 01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:37.000 have a problem with Denzel, and they wouldn't have had a problem till you 763 01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:40.159 start and till you guys decided that this is what you were going to do. 764 01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:45.400 And then last year with the on Netflix, specifically with the Cleopatra stuff, 765 01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:47.519 tell people that you were going to do this, you didn't care if 766 01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:50.920 it was inaccurate, and they should all shut up because they are a bunch 767 01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:52.320 of bigots. Well, now people are going to be more critical of this 768 01:02:52.360 --> 01:03:00.519 stuff. But I hope it's a good movie. And again, don't have 769 01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:06.480 a problem with Denzel, but I understand why people are pushing back, begging 770 01:03:06.519 --> 01:03:09.159 of pushing back. What happens when you're the president of the United States and 771 01:03:09.199 --> 01:03:15.880 you push back on your own spokesman. That's what happened. So roughly one 772 01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:22.280 thirty yesterday afternoon, CNN had a report where a US official confirmed what a 773 01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:28.679 lot of people suspected, that Hamas has a command headquarters underneath the Alshifa Hospital 774 01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:32.039 in Gaza. Right, this is not a new this is not a new 775 01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:39.800 allegation, and that's a problem. It's not only is it a quote unquote 776 01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:45.880 war crime, since we keep bringing those things up, but obviously it undermines 777 01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:51.119 propaganda. The propaganda was the evil Jews keep trying to kill you know, 778 01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:55.199 kids in a hospital when in reality, now the US is come and going. 779 01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:59.360 No, all those tunnels they lead to the big headquarters, they are 780 01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:04.519 under the hospital. Well that is that is American intelligence official saying that on 781 01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:13.360 the record. Jake Sullivan I mentioned something on Sunday to that effect. However, 782 01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:19.519 literally one hour later, two thirty pm, Joe Biden said, quote 783 01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:27.280 the Al Shifa Hospital must be protected, as he urged less intrusive action against 784 01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:33.639 a moss. So at one thirty, your Administration and National Security spokesman says, 785 01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:39.199 now, that's hospital, that's that's a giant, that's the military HQ 786 01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:44.840 underneath that hospital. And they're also utilizing all of the fuel and everything else 787 01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:50.039 that's being that's needed for the hospital to run their operations. And it's it 788 01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:54.920 is and we know it is. And then the President comes out and says, 789 01:04:55.039 --> 01:05:00.880 nah, you gotta you gotta gotta protect that hospital as fundamental disconnect. 790 01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:09.280 Man, did nobody tell him? Is he so out of I think it's 791 01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:13.159 just he's so out of the loop, man, I think that they they 792 01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:16.000 know that they couldn't fill him in on all the day's nuances in a timely 793 01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:19.719 enough manner for him to retain it. So, man, it's just a 794 01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:31.320 speak and say that's kind of busted out there. Every day, all right, 795 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:38.440 good morning everybody, and happy Tuesday. Were those words barely fit together? 796 01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:44.960 K cooda radio program. And it is a dizzy, busy bounce around 797 01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:49.000 going on in the stack of stuff today, but also in how expanse of 798 01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:56.639 the world of politics, albeit here in the US, will start to start 799 01:05:56.679 --> 01:06:01.079 to emerge as San Francisco, which should a hell of a job relocating eight 800 01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:06.440 thousand individuals roughly the size of Roxboro ahead of it. As we sit down 801 01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:11.840 to try to figure out how we're gonna deal with China, how we're going 802 01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:15.280 to parently impress what it's going to mean for relations going forward, all the 803 01:06:15.360 --> 01:06:24.760 while with people wondering, well, are we prioritizing are we prioritizing what's going 804 01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:30.239 on over there while missing the mark on actually doing things that the people of 805 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:33.280 the United States wann't done. The security that they wanted, the southern border, 806 01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:39.239 the financial investment, if they're going to take those taxpayer dollars which seem 807 01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:45.920 to so easily flow over to various other countries, and interests that aren't really 808 01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:49.599 beneficial to the majority of the American people. So, you know, basically 809 01:06:49.639 --> 01:06:53.760 all the stuff that we continue to deal with, and right at the forefront, 810 01:06:53.840 --> 01:06:56.719 one of our US Senators, Ted Budd joins us. Now, sorry 811 01:06:56.800 --> 01:06:59.239 for the long intro, but man, you guys got a lot of stuff 812 01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:03.239 to think about this this week. One of the things the main thing we're 813 01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:06.840 watching right now is let's keep the government open. And I think you know, 814 01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:11.639 Speaker Johnson's doing a good job with this continuing resolution. I'm not a 815 01:07:11.639 --> 01:07:15.679 fan of those, you know, one of those things is got Kevin McCarthy 816 01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:19.840 in trouble getting too much Democrats support. But the main win here, and 817 01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:24.360 first of all, the win is not in the spending level, because we're 818 01:07:24.599 --> 01:07:28.400 fifty percent higher than we have been since pre twenty twenty. But if you 819 01:07:28.519 --> 01:07:31.360 kick this thing away from the holidays, you get it out where you could 820 01:07:31.360 --> 01:07:38.000 really negotiate it in January and February, because there have been trillions of dollars 821 01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:42.239 that have been unfortunately agreed to because people just wanted to get home for the 822 01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:45.840 holidays, and that's bad negotiating territory. You guys didn't send us here to 823 01:07:46.559 --> 01:07:49.559 send us home for the holidays. But again, once you get it out 824 01:07:49.599 --> 01:07:54.119 there in January February, you get a little more leverage. Well, I 825 01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:58.119 think people also didn't send you guys, maybe not necessarily. You look, 826 01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:02.199 I understand, I recognize the House and of very different functions, and that's 827 01:08:02.199 --> 01:08:04.840 a good thing, by the way, in my opinion. That being said, 828 01:08:06.239 --> 01:08:13.239 the really the gravitas in the news cycle is generally going to be dominated 829 01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:16.720 by the House, and whether that is born of dysfunction with the all of 830 01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:21.239 the speaker stuff, which apparently has now been resolved, or things like the 831 01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:26.439 Mayorcus vote yesterday. I don't lay that at your feet, but Senator, 832 01:08:26.800 --> 01:08:31.399 you obviously served with mckenry and Virginia Fox. You know them well, and 833 01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:33.960 even though you're on the Senate side, I think a lot of people were 834 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:39.760 surprised yesterday that they were among eight Republicans who didn't want to see cabinet member 835 01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:45.199 of Mayorcus under scrutiny through the process of impeachment for utter failure on the Southern 836 01:08:45.199 --> 01:08:49.000 border. So I guess I want to talk to you, not in your 837 01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:53.439 capacity as a former House member. You're now a senator, so you'd have 838 01:08:53.479 --> 01:08:57.960 to await this happening. Does that surprise you? And do you have any 839 01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:00.039 insight on why there may be some has and see on the part of some 840 01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:05.399 Republicans, because you would have to agree if when it comes to carrying out 841 01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:13.760 one's responsibility, may Orcus sticks out as being woefully underqualified. Yeah, and 842 01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:15.600 if you're going to impeach, you might as well get it right. And 843 01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:19.680 this is not time for what we call messaging bills where you're just trying to 844 01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:23.199 send a signal that hey, we're against may Orcus. Look, he's not 845 01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:26.439 a horrible job. I've been to the border. You and I talked about 846 01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:30.600 it for years now. It's absolutely heartbreaking and it's a dereliction of duty. 847 01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:36.079 But is it technically impeachable? Did he break the law? And what is 848 01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:40.439 in the contents of the impeachment document that she put forth. I don't know 849 01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:44.800 what was in MTG's impeachment document, but it was enough to say, Hey, 850 01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:47.359 if we're going to do this, let's get it right, let's walk 851 01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:51.520 through the constitutional process here, and let's win this not just in the House, 852 01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:55.520 but let's make it where when it goes to trial in the Senate we 853 01:09:55.560 --> 01:09:59.560 would actually win. Or let's let's get a majority in the Senate so when 854 01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:01.960 it goes a trial over here, we would win it. It's got to 855 01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:05.359 be one of those two things, because all of us as Republicans can agree 856 01:10:05.399 --> 01:10:09.680 he's done a horrible, horrible job. But do you think that that's the 857 01:10:09.720 --> 01:10:13.800 standard that's realistic? I mean, admittedly, do you think even if they 858 01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:17.960 had video of MAJORCIS dukes of hazard in groups of migrants into this country, 859 01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:21.600 you know, with a big smile on his face. Do you think even 860 01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:27.439 that would be enough to impeach somebody because of the required you know, two 861 01:10:27.479 --> 01:10:30.279 thirds of the Senate. I just I don't think it's possible in this day 862 01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:34.359 and age. So it begs the question, either you're you're going to do 863 01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:39.720 impeachments because there is a there is a political messaging there. Look, nobody 864 01:10:39.800 --> 01:10:44.479 thinks that there're anything but political really these days, or you're not. And 865 01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:47.680 that's where frustration lies. Because people feel that they got punched in the face 866 01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.840 ten times over the last previous four years. They want to punch back, 867 01:10:53.079 --> 01:10:57.000 and they don't feel that maybe some are allowing them to do that, whether 868 01:10:57.039 --> 01:11:00.279 it's the right thing or not. You know what I think, first of 869 01:11:00.319 --> 01:11:03.800 all, people have a cry for justice right now. They're heartbroking. They've 870 01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:06.600 seen it so many different areas, whether it's Hunter Biden, whether it's the 871 01:11:06.640 --> 01:11:12.960 border. The list goes on ad nauseum. But I think there's enough of 872 01:11:13.000 --> 01:11:15.039 those Republicans just say, if we're going to do this, let's do it 873 01:11:15.159 --> 01:11:18.600 right in the house, let's get the articles right, let's not make it 874 01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:23.479 hastily written. And so I think if you, if you operate more of 875 01:11:23.560 --> 01:11:27.119 a team, you work it through the Judiciary Committee. I think there's more 876 01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:31.920 of a regular order process even when it comes to impeachment than there is these 877 01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:34.359 things that they want to throw They don't want to throw these things out willy 878 01:11:34.439 --> 01:11:40.239 nilly, Okay, Well again, I'm just saying that it is. I'm 879 01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:44.920 just recognizing that there's multiple strategies on this, and you know, ultimately that'll 880 01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:46.880 be up to individual representatives who are going to go and they're going to ask 881 01:11:46.960 --> 01:11:54.720 to probably get re elected. Right Virginia's running again. I'm assuming he's running 882 01:11:54.720 --> 01:11:56.960 again. He was just the type of area speaker of the House. So 883 01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:00.319 yeah, and that'll be between them and their voters. But I got a 884 01:12:00.359 --> 01:12:04.560 lot of especially Virginia Fox's people are really upset in my email this morning. 885 01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:08.399 So I don't know how it'll pan out. What are you guys working over 886 01:12:08.439 --> 01:12:12.880 on the Sunate side, because again, your focus is on a variety of 887 01:12:12.920 --> 01:12:17.880 things. I look at this relationship with China and this conference, and while 888 01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:21.079 we can make the jokes about cleaning up the streets only to put on a 889 01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:28.319 good impression, there's a lot writing on this and I never liked Trump having 890 01:12:28.439 --> 01:12:33.359 jijimping down at mar Lago I didn't, and I thought that I understand how 891 01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:39.079 he wanted to project it. But China gives me the creepy crawleys on everything 892 01:12:39.119 --> 01:12:42.119 that they do. And I feel that they're a country that is more desperate 893 01:12:42.159 --> 01:12:45.239 too, because whether people realize it or not, they've made a lot of 894 01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:49.760 really bad financial investments Sri Lanka, they took that on the teeth and their 895 01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:56.279 housing bubble, and a desperate country that doesn't mind messing with the US. 896 01:12:56.359 --> 01:13:00.159 I'm sorry, I don't feel like that's an ally of ours. I think 897 01:13:00.159 --> 01:13:03.680 it's a strong look to invite him here to have some sort of economic reset. 898 01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:08.680 I think we need to look, you don't want to hot war, 899 01:13:08.760 --> 01:13:12.560 you want to continue our deterrence. The focus needs to be on let's strengthen 900 01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:16.560 our military. Let's strengthen our apparatus ant in the Indo Pacific. And I 901 01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:19.600 was just out there. I've seen the I've seen the where the fight would 902 01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:26.159 begin, and you know, we need to make sure we're focusing on the 903 01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:30.039 right military leadership out there, including our undersea power. So those are the 904 01:13:30.039 --> 01:13:33.039 things I think we need to be focusing on, not just inviting him here 905 01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:38.279 for for tea. If you will look is there some larger diplomatic strategy. 906 01:13:38.600 --> 01:13:41.479 I get that, but again it's now, it's a time for strength, 907 01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:45.680 not a conciliatory meeting. Wait wait, wait, so you think that there's 908 01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:49.079 some four D chess, I don't. I don't want to give you a 909 01:13:49.119 --> 01:13:54.119 bless your heart, senator, but I just I don't believe it. Yesterday, 910 01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:57.960 the president's own people told CNN that, yes, we believe that there 911 01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:00.920 is a military base under this hospital and AAZA, and one hour late, 912 01:14:01.119 --> 01:14:04.279 one hour later, the President of the United States said, we need to 913 01:14:04.319 --> 01:14:09.840 protect this hospital. Right, So excuse me if I don't sign up for 914 01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:13.600 four D chess with these cats. No, I'm not talking about Israel here. 915 01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:18.239 I mean that with China. I don't think that Biden obviously it's you 916 01:14:18.319 --> 01:14:21.039 know, you would out would agree he doesn't have the strength he needs to 917 01:14:21.079 --> 01:14:28.239 project in front of guh. But again, militarily beyond just Biden himself, 918 01:14:29.000 --> 01:14:33.319 we need to do whatever it is to project strength into a paycom because you 919 01:14:33.399 --> 01:14:38.279 know, you look how vulnerable Taiwan is sitting out there, and how much 920 01:14:38.319 --> 01:14:41.359 world trade floats through there, and it would affect every single family here in 921 01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:45.000 the US, where it's not as it would not be as big of a 922 01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:48.760 effect if something were to happen to Ukraine, even though that's important in the 923 01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:54.880 scheme of things right now. But we've got to allow Israel to do what 924 01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:58.600 they need to do when it comes to Hamas. I think people are heartbroken. 925 01:14:59.079 --> 01:15:03.119 You know, there's going to be a demonstration here rightfully so pro Israel 926 01:15:03.159 --> 01:15:09.079 demonstration here in Washington today. But we need to give the Israelis a latitude 927 01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:12.079 and the supplies that they need to do what they need to do over there. 928 01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:14.720 Are you Are you surprised? I mean you just said there's going to 929 01:15:14.760 --> 01:15:16.720 be a pro Israel You know that there's going to be counter protesters. Well, 930 01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:19.520 I'm sure there'll be some video that emerges, and I hope it's safe 931 01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:23.560 and I hope everybody just you know, gets to say their piece. But 932 01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:27.279 you got eyes, man, you got staff. You know what's going on 933 01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:31.560 out there. This is like what do you think in watching like what happened 934 01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:35.920 to Columbia University And this is the openness on the part of people to come 935 01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:43.319 out and sound really nineteen thirties Germany. I mean, does that blow you 936 01:15:43.319 --> 01:15:46.039 away or what? It's scary? And what it's just been allowed to grow 937 01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:55.319 instead of our educational institutions, the things that we defeated in World War Two, 938 01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:59.600 and for those remaining Second World War vets. You know when I see 939 01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:02.279 them when they come up here for hunter flights and they ask what we're working 940 01:16:02.279 --> 01:16:04.479 on and saying, we're trying not to screw up what you fought for. 941 01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:10.439 Uh. And now you see some of those same ideologies starting to rear their 942 01:16:10.439 --> 01:16:15.960 head again. And it happens in colleges, it happens on university campuses, 943 01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:19.720 and those are bad ideas, and unfortunately their ideas aren't dead, and you 944 01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:24.199 know, we've got to fight them all over again. Well, it happens 945 01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:27.960 in dentist office, it happens in like I mean, just these weird settings 946 01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:33.000 of people walking around, tearing hostage posters off statements by members of Congress that 947 01:16:33.079 --> 01:16:36.039 you used to serve with. And I don't know what. I don't know 948 01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:40.159 what the answer is, you know, going and telling Rashida to leave. 949 01:16:40.279 --> 01:16:44.119 She she said something dumb. I don't know that that does anything to deter 950 01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:49.920 her. So I'm really I'm really worried in you know, on one on 951 01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:53.760 one hand, I'm really worried because you're seeing more of this. But I'm 952 01:16:53.760 --> 01:16:57.000 also wondering if it's good to get it out there so that people can get 953 01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:00.960 a better beat on who all these folks are. You make a great point 954 01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:04.520 and one of the great geniuses of Trump. People say people blame him for 955 01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:10.680 causing the chaos. Absolutely not what he did. He's shown a great flashlight 956 01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:15.600 of spotlight on the problems, whether it's the challenges of what China was already 957 01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:19.640 doing to us but larger America wasn't aware, or what's going on in the 958 01:17:20.079 --> 01:17:27.640 woke movement, or you know what we're seeing with Hamas now, he really 959 01:17:27.720 --> 01:17:30.279 highlighted a lot of things which were brought to the surface so that we can 960 01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:33.159 get him out there. So in one sense, it is a relief that 961 01:17:33.319 --> 01:17:36.520 now we know where the enemy is because it's plain and simple. It's right 962 01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:41.359 in front of us, and we know where the fight is, whereas four 963 01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:46.479 or six years ago it may have been more subterranean. Well yeah, I 964 01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:50.880 mean, no pun intended. I'm assuming they're considering the large amounts of tunnels, 965 01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:56.159 but where do you think. Yeah, look, there's some people online 966 01:17:56.600 --> 01:18:01.159 who are of the opinion that this is going to be allowed to spiral into 967 01:18:01.439 --> 01:18:06.159 us engagement, and not just of an advisory in an advisory way, because 968 01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:11.399 you would agree Hamas is and they've stated this. Hamas's hope for what they 969 01:18:11.399 --> 01:18:15.520 did on the seventh was that it would be so large and so inspirational the 970 01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:20.439 Muslim world would rise up and they would join the fight and eradicate Israel and 971 01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:26.399 who the hell knows who else. And while that didn't happen in an overwhelming 972 01:18:26.439 --> 01:18:30.680 fashion, we're engaging targets that are literally in other countries for fire and missiles 973 01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:35.239 in on stuff. You know, they just took a big position out in 974 01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:40.560 Lebanon what yesterday or something? So do you think this escalates? And then 975 01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:42.800 people are going, well, if it escalates, then you got to get 976 01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:45.840 into a draft. And that's this is what people fear a lot in a 977 01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:50.239 lot of situations. But arguably between what's going on in Ukraine and what's going 978 01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:57.159 on in the Middle East, I can't remember both simultaneously being this heightened since 979 01:18:57.239 --> 01:19:02.039 like Iranian hostage end of Cold War times? Am I over exaggerating? No, 980 01:19:02.199 --> 01:19:04.560 you're not. And you have to look at all of them together, 981 01:19:04.840 --> 01:19:08.880 and then you have to look at them as individuals. And I think when 982 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:13.399 it comes to the Middle East Israel Hamas, we have to respond with strength, 983 01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:15.880 and we've got some good military leadership. Again, I'm very concerned about 984 01:19:15.920 --> 01:19:19.359 the competency of our commander in chief, as are all of us. But 985 01:19:19.640 --> 01:19:26.039 we have to be as strong as possible in our response to prevent the expansion 986 01:19:26.039 --> 01:19:29.520 and the metastization in the Middle East. And the quicker we are, the 987 01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:33.439 more forcefule we are. Whether it's attacks on in your remaining troops in Iraq 988 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:38.359 or Syria, we've got to be strong. If we equivocate or we just 989 01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:43.560 do these light responses, I just don't think that's going to send the right 990 01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:45.800 signal to Iran. So the stronger we are, the safer we are, 991 01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:49.439 and the less likely this is to get a hand. You guys, we 992 01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:55.800 open this and I'll kind of end here on a couple of things talking about 993 01:19:55.920 --> 01:20:00.720 continuing resolution, keeping government going. I couldn't I don't know most people could 994 01:20:00.760 --> 01:20:02.880 tell you what the Senate's even dug into right now. I mean, they 995 01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:06.000 watched the House with great interest, But you know, the Senate, I 996 01:20:06.000 --> 01:20:09.319 don't know, has been on the radar for a lot of stuff. So 997 01:20:09.560 --> 01:20:13.159 I guess my question is, you guys got a thousand things you could be 998 01:20:13.239 --> 01:20:15.680 dealing with. What are you dealing with? And is one of those things 999 01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:20.960 potentially the Supreme Courts saying that they don't want to deal with COVID vaccine mandates, 1000 01:20:20.960 --> 01:20:25.720 which was a decision rendered yesterday, saying they're not going to take it 1001 01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:29.399 up, and really that then falls to Congress to do something. So what's 1002 01:20:29.439 --> 01:20:31.920 on the radar right now? I'd say the main thing is nominations. You 1003 01:20:32.039 --> 01:20:35.119 got so much going on with the cr right now and we're watching, you 1004 01:20:35.159 --> 01:20:38.920 know, are we going to put in a shell bill or excube Schumer going 1005 01:20:38.960 --> 01:20:41.680 to put in a shell bill so that he can insert whatever if the House 1006 01:20:41.680 --> 01:20:44.840 were to fail in the next twenty four hours. So he had a chance 1007 01:20:44.880 --> 01:20:47.199 to do that last night. He did not, which is a good sign 1008 01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:51.439 that we expect the House to succeed with this funding package. But one of 1009 01:20:51.439 --> 01:20:56.239 the things with nominations is not just judges and saying no to a lot of 1010 01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:59.720 really bad judges. It's saying yes to a lot of good leadership that's coming 1011 01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:03.840 through. But for all the press with Senator Tommy Tuberville's holes, we got 1012 01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:08.520 to make sure that as conservatives, we realize that this is not a senator 1013 01:21:08.560 --> 01:21:12.600 from Alabama's problem. This is a Secretary Austin problem. And you know, 1014 01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:16.159 taxpayers should never pay for abortions. And one of the letters I sent with 1015 01:21:16.239 --> 01:21:21.319 the majority of the Republican Conference, Republican Senate Conference on there is to tell 1016 01:21:21.359 --> 01:21:26.840 the Biden administration one Lloyd Austin promised he wouldn't politicize the military, and he 1017 01:21:26.880 --> 01:21:30.359 did. The second and most importantly is that the quickest way to end this 1018 01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:35.520 regards to military holes is for the Biden administration to end this horrible policy. 1019 01:21:35.960 --> 01:21:40.039 It is their problem. They've tried to put it all the blame on a 1020 01:21:40.039 --> 01:21:44.000 senator from Alabama, but it's the Biden administration's problem. So that's one of 1021 01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:45.640 the things that I'm working on here in the Senate. All Right, Lastly, 1022 01:21:45.640 --> 01:21:48.680 I know some of your colleagues are really into the redistribution of wealth. 1023 01:21:49.079 --> 01:21:53.439 I don't want to talk about it from a dollar standpoint, but you can 1024 01:21:53.479 --> 01:22:00.680 you get the panthers pickback. You guys could do, man, but there's 1025 01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:04.239 always next year. Always kid, you got what. I'm sorry, do 1026 01:22:04.239 --> 01:22:06.479 you have power or not? Senator? I mean really, I mean we 1027 01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:10.319 talked to you and it's like this is easy right, you just go and 1028 01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:13.279 get the DOJ to go in or something. Right. I don't know exactly 1029 01:22:13.319 --> 01:22:15.920 how it works. I'm not technical, but man, they need you. 1030 01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:18.439 That's all. We're gonna have to go to Virginia Fox for that one. 1031 01:22:18.479 --> 01:22:23.199 That's her kind of power, right, Yeah, just trick them onto an 1032 01:22:23.239 --> 01:22:26.560 elevator and she could anywhere. All right, We're gonna try to talk to 1033 01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:30.279 Virginia. All right. I appreciate our again, our monthly little get together 1034 01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:34.439 here and it's you're right, it's gonna get financially crazy. We'll see what 1035 01:22:34.520 --> 01:22:38.560 China does, and God knows what's happening in the Middle East, but we'll 1036 01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:42.640 stay in touch. And I appreciate your time this morning. Okay, thanking, 1037 01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:45.199 all right, there you go, and that is Senator Ted Budd here 1038 01:22:45.239 --> 01:22:48.560 on the kc O Day Radio program Yeah. Just hit it with the FBI 1039 01:22:48.680 --> 01:22:54.600 team. This is not that hard. All right, Good morning, everybody, 1040 01:22:54.600 --> 01:22:58.399 and welcome. It is eight thirty six here on the kc O Day 1041 01:22:58.520 --> 01:23:02.520 Radio programs. Got a text. I got a text for one of my 1042 01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:08.159 neighbors that I talked to. She's a little bit of a gossip. I 1043 01:23:08.199 --> 01:23:12.319 had no idea that this has so Apparently some guy lives around the corner from 1044 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:16.960 a Scott super injured falling off of his roof or something. He Clark griswolded 1045 01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:20.159 a van he was putting Christmas lights up. Is it? I'm sorry, 1046 01:23:20.159 --> 01:23:25.840 are we in acceptable territory for Christmas lights? I don't know. I'm not 1047 01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:32.079 gonna try to start that debate, but I hope dude's okay. So she 1048 01:23:32.159 --> 01:23:34.319 said that to me just to be a gossip, and I'm like, is 1049 01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:38.520 it too early for Christmas lights? I don't know, although I saw one 1050 01:23:38.520 --> 01:23:41.720 of our listeners posting pictures of his Christmas tree already. So I don't even 1051 01:23:41.720 --> 01:23:44.880 know what's wrong with some of you. But most people, it's like right 1052 01:23:44.920 --> 01:23:49.680 after Thanksgiving, right when you really you flip to Christmas. That's that's how 1053 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:54.159 it was in my family. And the deal was part of the Thanksgiving thing 1054 01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:58.239 was we'd go and we'd whack a tree and then and then boom, you'd 1055 01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:00.800 get the tree in there right after Thanksgiving, and I you know, that 1056 01:24:00.840 --> 01:24:03.479 worked for us. Although we didn't go to a lot, we went all 1057 01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:09.840 speaking at Griswold's. Although we didn't have to trudge quite as far. We 1058 01:24:10.079 --> 01:24:13.319 just kind of go to like just drive up the road a little to the 1059 01:24:13.399 --> 01:24:15.840 edge of the property where the pines are. But I think he you know 1060 01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:18.119 what, teach their own. Heyah, we put up our tree September first. 1061 01:24:19.159 --> 01:24:24.479 I'm sorry you which wait, we don't have like nine trees though, 1062 01:24:24.720 --> 01:24:27.039 right, well we put up the first one September first. We still have 1063 01:24:27.079 --> 01:24:30.600 like, well, we'll put up like the remaining like six or seven after 1064 01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:33.600 Thanksgiving. You're like an advent calendar of trees. Yeah. Right, We're 1065 01:24:33.640 --> 01:24:36.520 in the middle of the Hayes family. Two hundred nights of Christmas. I 1066 01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:41.920 know, I know, I and I haven't. I wasn't given any grief. 1067 01:24:41.920 --> 01:24:45.319 I was simply pointing out that people do different things. But then I 1068 01:24:45.319 --> 01:24:46.920 found out one of my neighbors fell down try to put Christmas lights on, 1069 01:24:46.960 --> 01:24:54.039 and and the the gossip ladies telling everyone, don't right, call her gossip 1070 01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:58.119 lady to her face. So whatever. But so they want a few neighbors 1071 01:24:58.119 --> 01:25:00.880 who doesn't think I should be fired into the sun. Probably all right, 1072 01:25:04.439 --> 01:25:08.319 I gotta we have to address the elephant in the room because people are sending 1073 01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:11.600 me emails. You're not Ross doesn't care you guys, So that's it's not 1074 01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:14.359 I'm not not bringing it up because him and I have talked about it off 1075 01:25:14.399 --> 01:25:18.920 the air. He's he has he has accepted reality in the same way I 1076 01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:24.920 accepted it like a month ago. Yeah, I mean mentioned Yeah, No, 1077 01:25:25.039 --> 01:25:28.520 I'm like, we watched The Office last night. Yeah, we're at 1078 01:25:28.560 --> 01:25:30.600 the point where because we we started it the beginning of the year, we 1079 01:25:30.680 --> 01:25:34.920 took like a once a certain character leaves, don't want to spoil things for 1080 01:25:34.960 --> 01:25:39.840 people who might not have seen this treasure of a show once a certain character 1081 01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:42.720 leaves. He took a break because we were sort of depressed. And then 1082 01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:47.319 we're back to watching it now we're Robert California is now the boss. Yes, 1083 01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:50.800 yes, yes, James Spader and yes, I mean we're having That's 1084 01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:54.000 what we did last night. And I went to the Wizard. Was he 1085 01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:57.680 a lizard king? Or oh he's so great? So that's what I did. 1086 01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:00.159 Then I woke up, saw the score, said I knew it, 1087 01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:02.159 went to the gym and it is what it is. Well, did you 1088 01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:06.760 see the actual final? So the way that so the Bills lost to the 1089 01:26:06.760 --> 01:26:12.159 Bronx. Yeah, Bill's Mafi and shambles. Dude, dude, completely tough. 1090 01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:15.680 It's tough. Because there's some people that are still like this is the 1091 01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:17.399 year, and like I like a month ago, it's like this is another 1092 01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:21.439 year. No, not like so they're some people are now like coming to 1093 01:26:21.560 --> 01:26:25.880 terms with reality, right what we what we've said before in the show, 1094 01:26:25.960 --> 01:26:28.640 I've said anyway, and it's like, you know, certain people might have 1095 01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:31.439 to go on the coaching staff. So so I am at the point now 1096 01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:34.319 where it was like in the middle of like when it like June of the 1097 01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:39.680 Yankee season, where it's like this is over, baseball is over. Time 1098 01:26:39.720 --> 01:26:42.600 to move on. So I'm still going to check out this the scores and 1099 01:26:42.600 --> 01:26:45.199 stuff. I'm still going to support the team, but I am not like, 1100 01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:50.880 I'm not delusional like I was. Probably at this rate. Don't be 1101 01:26:50.960 --> 01:27:09.920 lucky if they end up like seven and ten, all right, And I 1102 01:27:09.960 --> 01:27:14.079 think we murdered Casey. I think Casey is not here. His microphone broke. 1103 01:27:14.560 --> 01:27:18.359 I think my complete honesty and able to admit reality completely shocked him. 1104 01:27:18.399 --> 01:27:21.359 So we're going to try to fix his microphone and we'll be right back. 1105 01:27:21.560 --> 01:27:26.239 It's the Case of Day Radio program one O six one f VM Talk and 1106 01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:30.039 ninety four to five w PTI, two stations driving the fst end talk. 1107 01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:35.760 This is casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, well, 1108 01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:41.800 yeah, all I'm asking equipment. I'm asking for three hours and fifteen minutes. 1109 01:27:41.800 --> 01:27:45.199 It was super weird. Three hours and fifteen Well we got Gorilla greaves. 1110 01:27:45.319 --> 01:27:47.159 You're like over like and then you're like, yeah, we don't have 1111 01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:50.479 a window. Yeah we're in two MIT studios, but I could hear you 1112 01:27:50.520 --> 01:27:55.000 and they're like banging stuff. I'm not I'm not a violent person, but 1113 01:27:55.199 --> 01:27:58.680 three hours and fifteen minutes, then we're fired or we're on vacation for a 1114 01:27:58.680 --> 01:28:02.960 week, but you'll assume we're fired. Ah, what a day. It's 1115 01:28:02.960 --> 01:28:06.239 only Tuesday, My goodness. All right, people are offering to send us 1116 01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:09.760 a pinball machine parts. Now, I don't worry. We've got a whole 1117 01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:13.479 room full of them. We just got to figure out what order they they 1118 01:28:13.520 --> 01:28:16.399 attach. Uh. I'm just pointing out that for people going on, I 1119 01:28:16.439 --> 01:28:19.399 can't believe you're not talking about that. But Ross's end. So I don't 1120 01:28:19.399 --> 01:28:21.199 know. If you wanted a reaction, you're not going to get it. 1121 01:28:21.279 --> 01:28:24.920 Yeah, because you know me, when I'm upset about something, Yes, 1122 01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:28.640 and the past two weeks, like before the show, you're like, oh, 1123 01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:30.760 what kind of mood is he gonna be? And I'm like, I'm 1124 01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:34.520 in the no not to It came from the gym today today. I didn't 1125 01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:38.479 even I just assume you're gonna be fine, but yeah, no, you're 1126 01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:41.319 right. Last time, I'm like, oh no, kind of no. 1127 01:28:42.039 --> 01:28:45.159 Just and that's you know, when you when you just kind of accept where 1128 01:28:45.199 --> 01:28:47.399 it is, you can you can ease one's minds. Well, there's a 1129 01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:53.199 few things. One right, like I've accepted it, but also the pressure 1130 01:28:53.279 --> 01:28:55.520 is off because like I don't it's not going to be the year. So 1131 01:28:55.560 --> 01:28:57.760 it's like I can just watch it and it is what it is. But 1132 01:28:57.800 --> 01:29:00.680 also I've sort of started doing this new thing where I no longer like before 1133 01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:02.600 I remember, I was like I'm not going to pay attention. I'm not 1134 01:29:02.640 --> 01:29:04.640 going to watch because if I watch, they're going to lose. Like the 1135 01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:11.159 superstition. I've sort of come to the grown up conclusion that what, like, 1136 01:29:11.239 --> 01:29:13.880 I have nothing to do with the team. I am not on the 1137 01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:17.560 field, I am not throwing the ball, I'm not running the ball. 1138 01:29:17.600 --> 01:29:21.039 Like it's not a reflection upon me. Right, Like they suck and that 1139 01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:26.119 sucks, but it's not because a lot of people to check out the Secret 1140 01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:31.279 Service carjacking stuff. Man. Yes, the car jacking and car stealing problem 1141 01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:36.199 in Washington, DC has now extended to somebody with Secret Service protection. At 1142 01:29:36.239 --> 01:29:40.720 eleven fifty eight pm last night in Georgetown, which is about a mile and 1143 01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:45.520 a half from where we're standing right now, secret Service officers who are assigned 1144 01:29:45.680 --> 01:29:50.199 to protect Naomi Biden, that's President Biden's granddaughter, Hunting Hunter Biden's daughter, 1145 01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:56.720 opened fire at three people who were trying to steal one of the Secret Service 1146 01:29:57.159 --> 01:30:00.479 vehicles. We don't know exactly what kind of a car this was, but 1147 01:30:00.760 --> 01:30:03.159 according to the Secret Service, who just sent us a statement, I, 1148 01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:11.560 secret Service agents encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied 1149 01:30:11.920 --> 01:30:15.560 government vehicle. During the encounter, a federal agent discharged a service weapon and 1150 01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:20.199 it is believed no one was struck. The offenders immediately fled the scene in 1151 01:30:20.239 --> 01:30:26.479 a red vehicle, and a regional lookout was issued to supporting units. That 1152 01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:30.239 means when somebody tried to steal a Secret Service car from the agents that were 1153 01:30:30.239 --> 01:30:34.239 protecting the president's granddaughter and they got away, they're still out there this morning, 1154 01:30:34.680 --> 01:30:39.079 all right, so, dude, I'm sitting I'm literally physically holding this 1155 01:30:39.079 --> 01:30:42.439 thing with my hands so I can play the button bar. But then the 1156 01:30:42.439 --> 01:30:47.359 mic park. I'm telling you what, man, what a morning? Oh 1157 01:30:47.439 --> 01:30:53.000 my goodness? Ah, you know what? You lost connection again? The 1158 01:30:53.359 --> 01:30:57.479 mic connection dropped, but the button bar was fine because I literally clicked that 1159 01:30:57.680 --> 01:31:00.319 just because I'm like, what the hell is going on? It is? 1160 01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:02.640 I think it's because you're using the B word, and I'm going to ban 1161 01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:08.119 discussion of the B word because that's the only Maybe that's what it is. 1162 01:31:08.840 --> 01:31:13.079 Maybe that's you know, maybe that's a message from somebody or something going you 1163 01:31:13.079 --> 01:31:15.000 know what, you guys don't need to be talking about then. So I 1164 01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:23.279 don't know is uh is Jeff Bellinger there yet? By the way, what's 1165 01:31:23.319 --> 01:31:28.680 going to become of because he's going to pipe through uh yeah, the system. 1166 01:31:28.800 --> 01:31:31.199 I don't even know. Man, this is friggin amateur hour. I'm 1167 01:31:31.199 --> 01:31:34.720 so sorry. Let's do this. Let's get Jeff Bellinger in here. Dude. 1168 01:31:34.720 --> 01:31:41.039 We got three days and six minutes Jeff Bellinger before we get into next 1169 01:31:41.039 --> 01:31:44.560 week's vacation. We're off all next week, and it's like the powers that 1170 01:31:44.680 --> 01:31:48.079 be have just decided to lightning strike every piece of equipment we have, so 1171 01:31:49.000 --> 01:31:53.520 fire away and we'll pray for the best. Sir, Yes, okay, 1172 01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:58.680 I'll read slowly, Casey, Good morning. Investors are throwing a party this 1173 01:31:58.800 --> 01:32:02.199 morning on signs that in inflation was tamer than expected. Last month. The 1174 01:32:02.239 --> 01:32:08.600 Consumer Price Index, which tracks retail level inflation, was unchanged in October. 1175 01:32:08.640 --> 01:32:13.800 The forecast was for a one tenth percent increase. The closely watched core CPI, 1176 01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:17.399 which excludes food and energy costs, was up two tenths percent. Economists 1177 01:32:17.399 --> 01:32:21.359 were expecting a three tenths percent gain, and the year over year advance was 1178 01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:25.840 better than expected, coming in at four percent when economists thought it would be 1179 01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:29.399 four point one. So, looking at the futures, S and P futures 1180 01:32:29.399 --> 01:32:32.319 are up fifty six points. Nasdaq futures or up two hundred fifty three. 1181 01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:36.840 Now futures are up three hundred forty three this hour. Home Depot is the 1182 01:32:36.840 --> 01:32:42.199 first of the nation's major retailers to post third quarter results, and the report 1183 01:32:42.279 --> 01:32:45.159 is mixed. Comparable store sales were down from a year ago, but not 1184 01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:49.720 by as much as feared. Home Depot's earnings top forecast, but the company 1185 01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:55.199 issued a cautious outlook, saying sales for the year could be down three to 1186 01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:59.880 four percent. Home improvement demand is easy. A report from ADAM shows there 1187 01:32:59.880 --> 01:33:02.600 were just a slight dip last month, and the number of homeowners who lost 1188 01:33:02.680 --> 01:33:09.000 their homes completed foreclosures fell less than one percent in October. The data on 1189 01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:14.560 foreclosure starts is more encouraging. They were down seven percent. Sky High mortgage 1190 01:33:14.600 --> 01:33:18.239 interest rates made it harder to sell an existing home. Redfinn says more than 1191 01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:23.920 a third of home sellers made concessions to buyers over the last three months to 1192 01:33:23.960 --> 01:33:28.199 help ensure that the buyers wouldn't back out. Highways, airports, and other 1193 01:33:28.239 --> 01:33:32.199 transit hubs will likely be crowded around Thanksgiving. The travel period begins next week. 1194 01:33:32.399 --> 01:33:36.359 Triple A predicts nearly fifty five and a half million people will travel at 1195 01:33:36.439 --> 01:33:41.800 least fifty miles from their homes, the most since the start of the pandemic. 1196 01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:45.039 The Federal Highway Administration is out with a report that says in September, 1197 01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:50.479 Americans logged more miles on the nation's road than in roads than in any other 1198 01:33:50.520 --> 01:33:56.359 September in the last twenty five years, and a casey a lot of Starbucks 1199 01:33:56.399 --> 01:34:00.520 fans may have to go without their favorite beverages. On Thursday, unionized Barista's 1200 01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:05.079 planned to stage a one day strike. They accused the coffee company of refusing 1201 01:34:05.119 --> 01:34:10.880 to bargain fairly. It shops the GWENT union. The walkout will consult coincide 1202 01:34:10.920 --> 01:34:15.920 with starbucks annual Red Cup Day that's when it gives away holiday themed reusable cups 1203 01:34:15.960 --> 01:34:20.159 to its customers. Hope that helped Casey. Yeah, well, Ken, 1204 01:34:20.359 --> 01:34:25.720 you started your report by talking about how investors are having a party, right, 1205 01:34:26.359 --> 01:34:30.279 because was not as bad as expected. Oh, it's not an actual 1206 01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:32.199 party. I wondered if it was being put on by the FDIC folks, 1207 01:34:32.199 --> 01:34:36.479 because those sound like really good parties. I don't know if i've read those 1208 01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:41.039 stories. You're right. Yeah, man, if you like to party, 1209 01:34:41.079 --> 01:34:45.159 go party with the FDIC folks. But for those who don't know, I'll 1210 01:34:45.199 --> 01:34:48.479 explain that here in a moment, All right, Jeff, to appreciate it, 1211 01:34:48.560 --> 01:34:53.560 and yeah, pray for us, because I will do that. I 1212 01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:59.159 hope everything gets fixed before tomorrow. We'll talk in the morning. Ross, 1213 01:34:59.279 --> 01:35:03.000 bless your heart. Okay, thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah, 1214 01:35:03.079 --> 01:35:05.680 yeah, Ross, right, everyone's they're coming in to fix everything. Great, 1215 01:35:06.159 --> 01:35:09.880 you've got a team on it ready to go. Oh wow, yeah, 1216 01:35:10.239 --> 01:35:14.239 just repelling in as we speak. If you didn't see this start at 1217 01:35:14.239 --> 01:35:19.199 the FDIC party, So yes, yes, apparently there's a little bit of 1218 01:35:19.199 --> 01:35:25.319 an issue. A new Wall Street Journal report shone a light on what is 1219 01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:31.840 quite the the party atmosphere among the folks at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. 1220 01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:36.279 Right, so this is your money's FDIC insured. So if you put money 1221 01:35:36.279 --> 01:35:41.119 in a bank and the bank goes kubluing and you didn't have more than a 1222 01:35:41.199 --> 01:35:43.319 quarter mill in there, you get your money back. Right, It's an 1223 01:35:43.359 --> 01:35:48.479 insurance policy. However, party of the Wall Street Journal report they spend a 1224 01:35:48.479 --> 01:35:54.960 good chunk of their time at strip clubs, doing nude loot photo shoots, 1225 01:35:55.000 --> 01:36:02.119 and booking out whole hotels for big boozy party. Also, they talked about 1226 01:36:02.159 --> 01:36:06.680 how various supervisors with the within the FDIC are just running through all of the 1227 01:36:06.720 --> 01:36:15.039 female employees, and including one supervisor in Denver who encouraged his employees to quote 1228 01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:21.039 drink whiskey during work and as a joke, senior bank examiners had a running 1229 01:36:21.039 --> 01:36:26.399 gag in the office where they would you know, remember like Rick rolling right 1230 01:36:26.479 --> 01:36:29.680 where you send somebody a link. And then there was you know, Rick 1231 01:36:29.760 --> 01:36:34.159 Astley's never going to give you up. Yeah, except now it's it's pictures 1232 01:36:34.159 --> 01:36:40.520 that they're junk, So April fools, I guess I don't know, man, 1233 01:36:41.119 --> 01:36:44.600 Look I got it, you know, like everything else with the pendulum 1234 01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:47.800 swinging, you know, there was, hey, this is inappropriate to a 1235 01:36:47.840 --> 01:36:50.840 workplace. So don't get me wrong. There's there's many things that were uncovered 1236 01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:57.000 that I didn't have any business there, and I totally agree created a work 1237 01:36:57.119 --> 01:37:00.760 environment that was unfair to a lot of people. But whether it was from 1238 01:37:00.760 --> 01:37:05.840 a sexual harassment standpoint or just clickish stuff in general. But you know, 1239 01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:12.800 things also swung to the absurd right swing. Did you see the woman who 1240 01:37:12.840 --> 01:37:15.520 was losing her mind on social media the other day because like the security guard 1241 01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:20.520 said that she liked her hair, jin say anything about it other than she 1242 01:37:20.720 --> 01:37:24.439 liked it. And this woman had a meltdown. And that's how we get 1243 01:37:24.479 --> 01:37:28.520 this. But yeah, if you're as a joke just sending junk picks to 1244 01:37:28.560 --> 01:37:31.640 all of your employees, I feel like that's probably you know, it's probably 1245 01:37:31.640 --> 01:37:36.359 gonna be problematic, but hey, I'm not an HR expert, So what 1246 01:37:36.479 --> 01:37:44.079 do I know? And uh this, go ahead and grab this insanity because 1247 01:37:44.079 --> 01:37:47.319 I want to make sure we fit it in the Secret Service. As I 1248 01:37:47.399 --> 01:37:50.880 mentioned there, I had talked about how they had this run in with somebody 1249 01:37:50.880 --> 01:37:55.039 who was attempting to I guess, steal a van that was part of the 1250 01:37:55.159 --> 01:38:00.800 Secret Service detail protecting Naomi Biden. She wasn't there, and that's an important 1251 01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:05.920 component because there was a discharge of weapons, or a discharge at least of 1252 01:38:05.960 --> 01:38:14.720 one weapon by Secret Service, and if she wasn't there, and Secret Service 1253 01:38:14.960 --> 01:38:19.720 is about protecting that individual, it's really unusual. Like there's a lot of 1254 01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:24.680 parameters about discharging weapons. One, they're generally not going to do it if 1255 01:38:24.680 --> 01:38:29.399 the protect ease around for obvious reasons. So two, we're going to assume 1256 01:38:29.479 --> 01:38:32.319 she's not around. And if she's not around, if you're the Secret Service, 1257 01:38:32.439 --> 01:38:38.159 do you get to shoot at would be car thieves? Now, the 1258 01:38:38.239 --> 01:38:42.159 component that may be getting left out here is perhaps one of them brandished a 1259 01:38:42.199 --> 01:38:45.319 weapon and created a shootable environment, But that's not stated in any of the 1260 01:38:45.359 --> 01:38:49.520 stories that I've seen here, So I don't know. Maybe that's how you 1261 01:38:49.520 --> 01:38:53.800 get to protect your cars in DC. I thought we were just the mayor 1262 01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:57.479 was just going to put chips on it so people could track their stuff after 1263 01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:03.000 it gets stolen. Continue to follow that, and finally Sesme Street is announced 1264 01:39:03.039 --> 01:39:10.720 they are adding for the first time, an Italian Muppet, although ross does 1265 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:15.840 that buppet strike you as Italian? In I guess some of the stereotypical there's 1266 01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:20.199 not nearly enough unlimited breadsticks. Well you don't look, babe, that'll be 1267 01:39:20.199 --> 01:39:24.359 on the first episode. I just look. You know, I don't want 1268 01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:30.359 you to go full Mafioso but embellish characteristics, right, No, I demand 1269 01:39:30.720 --> 01:39:36.319 Muppet, no stop it. You know that I'm smart, I know my 1270 01:39:36.439 --> 01:39:43.239 ABC's Yeah, what happens when the Muppet goes fishing? What do you think 1271 01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:45.239 that's gonna do to the kids? Man? Do you know? My favorite 1272 01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:48.960 response, though, is apparently a lot of people thought Gonzo was Italian, 1273 01:39:50.520 --> 01:39:56.119 which I find that much more insulting. Maybe it's just a name, Gonzo, 1274 01:39:56.359 --> 01:39:59.439 right, I gotten Zo, Right, it's to me, I've gotten 1275 01:39:59.479 --> 01:40:04.760 so I don't I don't know. So yeah, so they got all the 1276 01:40:04.800 --> 01:40:09.279 other mind and I'm mostly surprised to considering the shows out of New York and 1277 01:40:09.319 --> 01:40:10.960 I don't know if you know this, they got it. They got a 1278 01:40:10.960 --> 01:40:15.680 few Italian people. You so, but whatever, Ross, could you call 1279 01:40:15.720 --> 01:40:19.079 the MOB so they can fix our equipment. I'm sure that they'll charge a 1280 01:40:19.119 --> 01:40:24.159 fair price. There will be no other attachments.
