Fourth of July obviously yesterday, and then you get this weird Friday thing.
But now we're gonna chug through this thing. So and I am going to
need your help because I did not Ross did not attempt to attend the the
pull Indick's Park Complex City of Raleigh fireworks show yesterday. But oh, how
should I put this? The term cluster does not seem inappropriate here, and
it's not necessarily on the City of Raleigh. I mean it obviously weather is
what was going on. But I'm just reading like two different articles this morning
trying to figure out people in groups or panicky dumb animals. That's not a
new thing. But obviously it sounds like there was some communications issues potentially here.
So you know, a heavy, heavy band of rain moved through just
after nine o'clock, around around nine point thirty, and you know, when
it's tats and dogs out there, firework shows don't don't work so well.
So you had everybody over there, and maybe one of you was at this
thing and can tell me what was going on, because I saw people on
Twitter and Facebook talking about this, and obviously they're reporting here. So the
City, by the way says that the fireworks show well obviously was quite a
bit shorter. It was only a few minutes. And you know weather was
the reason, all right, that makes sense. Nothing you can do about
that. However, people started to think the park was being like forcibly evacuated,
and I you know, if you think something's being evacuated, you don't
know why. Obviously you're going to want to get out of there. General
order breaks down, I don't know. But then like you had a bunch
of people too who weren't leaving, But we're in a position to kind of
be in the way for those who were trying to scramble out of there.
Now, what's crazy is the city actually has a link for text alerts for
stuff and did not send any notifications. This kind of seemed like maybe that
would be an appropriate time. Also, they said they're not going to reschedule.
Here we go. The city's fourth of July fireworks show was not the
grand display that we planned. We initially had a rain delay, threat of
lightning, and then technical difficulties shortened the show. The fireworks for this year
have concluded will not be rescheduled. What are you gonna do with the other
with all the fireworks are those Can those just hang out for a year.
I don't know, because you know, those are not little fireworks. I
mean, you gotta do something with them, right or I guess you know,
it comes down to maybe who the contractor was. I don't know how
any of that works, you know, but if you need, you need
somebody to hold onto those for you, be glad to do it. But
yeah, that's all you're gonna get. You know, what they should have
done. They should have gone San Diego. So in San Diego, Now
this was not intentional. A few years ago, basically something happened some technical
thing and every firework went off at once, which was amazing. But you
know, you don't get the show atmosphere. You just go is it the
apocalypse? What is happening right now? So I think at that point,
you know you're looking at it going obviously we're gonna have some issues. We've
got weather, we got some technical stuff. Let's just blow it all to
smitherings and give them the hell of a show. So that was, you
know, that was what it was. Other firework shows around the area seemingly
folks got out, had a good time. I didn't necessarily have the weather
conflict, although there were a couple of smaller ones canceled and for some reason,
the the pro pro Palestinian folks also. I saw a video after video
of them marching in parades and people just what a buzzkill? Man. Everyone's
excited, kids are, you know, waiting for the candy to spray.
And then you just see these videos where you know, free Free Palestine crew
comes rolling through there and everybody's just silent, just silent. And then that
wasn't enough. There was some flag burning in fact, let's see here.
Yeah, this is nice. So Fourth of July festival got ourselves a nice
little flag burning protest there over at Dix. So, uh, you know,
obviously that's why people decided to come over there, so they could hang
out and uh watch you scream about stuff. Uh So, anyway, was
anybody at the rally thing? Is it? Was it as pandemonium as being
described or was it just like kind of obvious. I don't know. I
don't know if it's quite as scandalous or some as some are making it out,
or do you just like stay in your house and try not to melt
because holy crap, Ross you just chilled, You got you guys didn't go
out do anything right. I'm sorry. I'm taking my constitutional right to take
the fifth today, as it clearly states that I can take the fifth.
You're not. It's not a well I mean, I can't disagree there,
but but you're not under criminal investigation? Is there something I need to know?
Or fifth July fifth? I'm aware of the day. I know what
day it is. You know, it would be far funnier if they let
you program the driverless cars. They're way too compliant with law enforcement. I
know. If you guys saw that video, I was thinking the same thing
dude this morning, loading that audio and I'm like, that car, come
on, man, Yeah, you gotta roll the window down like an eighth
of an inch. Ask if you're being detained. Also point out you're not
a driverless car, you're a traveler, a traveler list car. Oh yeah,
bust out the full sovereign citizen stuff. Apparently one of these driverless cars
just decide, you know, I'm just gonna go the wrong way in traffic.
Police pull it over and like there's a whole process where it just instantly
makes a call and some poor guy in a call center's like, oh well,
that's not good. We'll get right on that. Do they get a
ticket? How does that even work? And who gets the ticket? Because
I don't know. I get pulled over and I'm driving the wrong way,
especially right around fourth of July, I'm probably getting a ticket. But like
they the whole thing is programmed. Do you like, roll the window down,
We're making a call. Flashers on and it just would be far funny,
or if it went through the whole sovereign citizen routine, I would be
amused. I was hoping the car would take off. What do you mean,
let's just say a chase. Well, like if you're in a city
where the you know their policy is to give up. When do you think
we'll see our first driverless car chase? I mean what it's bound to happen.
Yeah, no, it's bound to happen. It's going to happen,
right, but you know it, the likelihood that it'll happen will be one
not born of you know, a person making a decision to run. It'll
be like the cars programming surrounding stops will like malfunction, So it will technically
be a chase because they don't yield, do they pit maneuver the thing.
I think you gotta. I don't know, man, Hey hold on,
let me grab the audio here. That's we're already already into this thing.
Just so weird, man. All right, So this is in Phoenix.
Check this out. Yeah, stopped. It's ninety two Adam Sam or ninety
two Adam two Sam Paul And uh, there's no driver. I connected to
drivers report his call native recorded for COMB the show. Yeah, this officer,
heines, Phoenix, BD. So your car here drove into oncoming lanes
of traffic. Okay, I'll go ahead to take a look at back right
now. Yeah, there's like a little bit of a construction area and it
went into opposing lanes of traffic, which is real bad. All right,
So here's it. And I'm not knocking on the cop because, like I
that you know, this is going to be a first for at some point
if these things take off, right, like the first time you're dealing with
a driverless car, it's got to be a trip, right. But also
like if I'm going the wrong way in traffic, I don't think the cop
is going to try to make excuses for why I done it. You know
what I'm saying He's not gonna be like, look, you're going you're going
the wrong way into oncoming traffic. It's the middle of the day, it's
uh, you know, uh the holiday atmosphere out there. But you know
there were construction cones, So like, I understand it. Now somebody's getting
a ticket, man, But uh yeah, so that's the process there.
I don't know, it's just weird because it's unusual. I suppose it'll just
be typical at some point and it'll come down to what the City of Phoenix's
policy is, because remember, like San Francisco, they had enough of this
happen where they basically barred him from certain areas. In fact, what did
they have They have like twelve incidents or something with I think it's the same
company. So any who, all right, six sixteen coming up a do
you guys want to see? In fact, let me get the wording correct
here. Do you want to see a super no holds barred presidential debate at
this point? Or have you seen enough? Because Trump has challenged Biden to
a no holds barred presidential debate to prove his confidence or lack thereof. All
right, so what exactly does that mean? And how could we make it
better? Well, we'll get into that much more coming up here on the
CaCO Day radio program. You had the you had the the Hamas protesters there.
Obviously that's a bit of a buzzkilled for most people. But you know,
depending I guess on what the policies of the parade are, there's not
much they could do about it. That wasn't the most interesting video. Did
you guys see the best parade video from just Pandemonium? That would be the
the Sunland, which is a suburb of La their independent state parade. And
a guy you probably know his name is Danny Treo Russ. Did you see
this video? By the way, the Treo video? Yet, it's amazing.
So Treo he has he's got like vintage cars, you know, the
actor. I'm not surprised. And he was actually in the parade, so
he is. He's in the parade, He's got his vintage can vertible.
And you know, by the way, how old is Danny Treyo? Anybody
want to guess? I feel like we just had this conversation, but I
didn't remember the age until I saw it again in the story. He's eighty
Is that true? But whatever? So he's got this baby blue convertible and
then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he gets smoked. As
car gets smoked. Then he gets partially hit with a water balloon and he
loses his crap. He jumps out of the car and sees the dude who
everyone's kind of indicating through the balloon, and he just walked over and smoked
him. Now he he didn't catch clean all right. I don't know if
it's because he's eighty or what, but yeah, he missed, and then
he is actually they actually shove him down to the pavement and then all of
a sudden, just pandemonium. Man. And by the way, I think
there's kids in the vehicle too, It's kind of hard to tell. So
and what is this well anyway, So all of a sudden, a large
brawl based on this initial thing opens. The suspect and others jump into the
chaos. The water balloon thrower heard through several punches and another dude who I
guess was taking Treyo's side. Others pounced in there. Treo seen getting up
from the ground grabbing a folding chair. So yeah, now we're into a
wrastling match. A woman then rushes up behind Treyo and literally holds him back,
and then others jump in to restrain him. Mostly it's people yelling saying,
hey, there's kids around, stop it. Stop it. At least
said they received a report of a fight, but the crowd dispersed when officers
arrived, so nobody's been arrested. It's a classic corvette he's in. And
then he started screaming that the dudes had coward. How much Treo did prison
time right back in the day, I mean, and he didn't do an
insignificant amount. Let's see here. Yeah, he was actually at San Quentin
a drug addiction and I think drug trafficking. I can't remember exactly what all
the charges were, but he actually was in San Quentin, became sober in
nineteen sixty eight, and then eventually they released him from his sentence and then
Boom got into acting. And obviously he's been very prolific, appearing in over
four hundred movies. But will forever be known as Machete. And I don't
know, maybe you shouldn't throw water balloons at Machete because dude's not gonna take
it. I don't know. That guy will probably sue at some point,
even though he didn't catch him. Square fourth of July and like half the
day on the on the and these are little things, but they're not little
things when you have the amount of staff and the position and they utilize the
account a lot. I'm referring to the Potus account, right, that thing's
always on their line about jobs gained or you know something. And it's fourth
of July, and you know, like your background and the logos and stuff
were all Pride stuff. Obviously they were up, you know, throughout the
month of June, but it was like middle of the day before somebody at
the White House, after basically getting called out and smoke on Twitter for it,
to say, you know what, we should probably put up a little
fireworks motif or something, and they did finally make the change. But I
don't know, maybe maybe everyone's just given up. So you know, there's
all sorts of speculation he's going to resign on Monday or we'll see, you
know, Bill O'Reilly within the first five minutes had an exclusive that he was
going to resign like the day after, and that obviously didn't come to pass.
So I don't know that I'm buying anyone's prediction. I'll buy the prediction
that there's a ton of discussions going on. But I don't know. But
you still got a truck on. And so Joe Biden fourth of July got
you know, military families there that annual event up at the White House.
Let's see how that's going. By the way, I've been all over the
world with you, I've been in then out of battle. Anyway, what
what he he was straight off prompter too for a while. And you can
you can like spot the mechanisms now or staff's just trying to get him rained
in. Oh but it but it, but it trucked on. Oh he
also uh he tried the uh the losers and suckers thing, although he didn't
even get that out. And by the way, why are this is purportedly
not a political event. Why are you doing that? Why are you doing
and and and to be clear, if Trump was up there doing that and
he spent you know, decided that he was going to go I don't know,
pistol whip Hillary or you know whoever. As president, I would find
it equally as distasteful. Just do the event. He got a bunch of
military families who showed up, and even if they like or don't like you,
or obviously they're cognizant of the news that's going on. That's a big
deal. Man. You could go to the White House for Fourth of July.
That's just can you not for five seconds? Last thing? And I
used to think when I was a senator, was there were always congestion on
the highways. There's no congestion anymore. No, we go on the highway,
there's no congestion. And so what they wait they get me to stop
talking, they'll say, we just shut down all the roads. Mister president,
you're gonna lose all the votes if you don't get in anyway, I'll
be back out. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love you. I'm sorry I was wrong. Go back to the
political stuff. Well, I don't know how to interpret that. What do
you mean? What do you mean there's no con that's d C. When
you guys been to DC lately, they get a traffic jam at seven in
the morning on a Sunday. But also, you're kind of right, when
you're the president, you don't sit in a lot of bumper to bumper.
So I don't know if that's the joke he was trying to make or what
that was. But whole thing was strange, and it was even strange with
Kamala who was doing the intro there. Now, I saw some grifters on
the social media like, oh, the president thinks it's Christmas. No he
doesn't. And with the amount of stuff that you have available to sit there
and reflect on, you know, just his past performance over the last few
days, like you don't need to dig this deep. But the change was
awkward, and I think if you divorce from everything else, it probably would
have gone unnoticed. But obviously there is a microscope and I'm gonna play it
for you. And then we get to the radio audio that I know you're
you're waiting for. But so here is the handoff that let's just say it
was not so smooth, and we give thanks to our commander in chief,
the President of the United States, the extraordinary President of the United States,
Jump Biden. Oh, happy Independence Day? All right, all right,
No he didn't think it's Christmas. Sorry, I just I'm I'm not needing
to go there if you want confusion, but and I want you to try
to process this through your hungover brain. It's clear in this cut in this
Philadelphia radio interview, what he thinks he's saying or what he thinks he wants
to say, But that doesn't negate the fact that he's unable to explain this
very this thing he's probably said a thousand times, by the way, or
at least the two separate, these two separate statements he wants to make one.
He served as vice president to Joe Bier, to Barack Obama, first
black president. His vice president is either the first Indian or first black vice
president, and first woman vice president. Okay, all of these things are
true. Everyone knows this. It's it's not it wouldn't be unusual. And
remember he's on radio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a very important state, Philly
obviously a hotbed for Democrat votes. You just got to motivate people to get
out there. If if you get the entirety of the black population, who
he is clearly pandering to here, but without hot sauce. I might add,
if apathy rules that that group of voters in Philly, you're cooked in
Pennsylvania. So you know, that's why he's trying to roll all this stuff
out there. Like his his motives are pandery there's no question, but the
whole thing comes out so awkwardly way. I'm proud, as I said,
the first vice president, first black woman served with black president, proud to
all, the first black woman in the Supreme Court. And there's just so
much that we can do because together there's nothing. Look United States America,
all right? So that that whole thing was weird? Does he think he's
the first black woman president? Ross? Do you believe that Joe Biden thinks
it's Christmas and that he's the first black woman president. I do know.
I think it's everything you just said it was before, but his brain can't
put those three facts together. Yes, and that in and of itself is
problematic enough when you when you literally lay it with everything else, or or
the uh radio producer for that radio show hit him with the special button that
I didn't know was a thing. And I've been in this business forever.
So there are some amazing conspiracy theories floating around over what happened with the what
happened with the debate? In fact, here we go. Zev Shalev started
one of these threads, and by the way, the hashtag is debate audio
gate. Hey, thirty year old TV executive producer. Here, I've run
Biden's debate audio through multiple digital enhancers and correctors and can't repair it. Now
my brain's trying unfair. What the hell is this guy talking about? What
do you mean you've run it through digital enhancers and correctors. You sound like
a bad CSI scene that gives people an inaccurate understanding of technology. Right,
They're like, Oh, let's take this photo where there's a reflection on a
mirror in the back of this grainy photo in hands and hands and hands.
All right, No, can you clean up audio? Sure, there's a
function with an Adobe audition, which is a really kind of the standard in
the world of radio for audio editing, and you can you can take a
segment. So let's say that there's a hum behind some audio, right,
you're outside, you're recording it, and there's like, I don't know,
maybe there's a generator in the background. If you can capture that little slice
and it will remove or attempt to remove as much of that particular wavelength.
The problem is is anytime your voice crosses in and out of it, it's
also clipping that. But it does an okay job. I don't think that's
what this idiot's talking about? Here we go frequencies, unnaturally boosted, cut
words clipped. He sounds breathy and hissy, and his mid range vocal frequencies
are de emphasized. This is this is a word salad as somebody who's who's
done audio editing his whole life. This level of variation is an accidental It
needs to be investigated. All right, Ross, You're literally sitting there with
your finger on the button. What is this guy talking? Is there a
secret producer button where you just saw it? There is? Yeah, And
I've used it on you for like a decade now. So anytime I sound
I screw up, it sounds like I don't. I put a pitch in
your voice. I've been doing this now for probably said twelve years. Most
people don't know. They're shocked when they when they meet you that your voice
is actually you sound like Ving Raims. But I put like a high end
pitch on you and I dropped the bass and it's very very complicated. But
yeah, you sound like a like a three hundred pound black man. How
many digital enhancers and correctors do you have? Uh? I will do you
personally. I have all of them. You have all of them. Yeah,
I collect them. They're my passion. I don't know what this person
is talking about. I have no idea they're you know. Oh, I
can't salvage the audio. Well, sometimes what you have is what you have,
right, You can't. Yes, if if the audio is crap,
if the person's voice is shot, if they keep rambling and cutting themselves off
and not finishing their sentences, there's nothing you can do about it. There's
only something right. You can You can try to polish it, you can
try to paint it up, but I mean, it is what it is,
right. And and by the way, it's funny because if you remember
just before the debate, I jokeingly suggested this with AI. Remember I'm like,
you know what they're gonna do with CNN is you get the AI in
there. And then Joe Biden will sound like he did in the nineteen seventies,
like his mouth will be moving, but it'll be the audio they're they're
putting through the board or whatever. Yeah, it'll be like a kung Fu
movie. It'll be really really Yes, Yes, okay, I joked about
that. These people are serious. Uh, here we go. A man
who I know who was in I know who was in a band and a
soundboard expert. Listen to Biden during the debate and at the after party,
and his opinion is that CNN quote buzzed his voice. He said, it's
easy to do. What does that mean buzzed his voice? I'm serious,
I've never heard that. I really trying to say that. I'm trying to
interpret what they said. The only thing I can I can the conclusion I
can come to there. They're thinking that maybe they flanged his voice, which
is what happens when you flange something. You'll have picture an audio track,
you know, on track one, and you'll take the same audio track and
on track two, and you'll just put it a millisecond before you get it,
and it'll add like a like a flange effect. But maybe that's what
they think. It's a buzz But I'm not hearing that at all. Yeah,
and you know, by the way, you don't even have to move
the left and right channels or or well yeah, now it's a preset if
you want saying. I'm think because I'm old, I'm thinking like back in
the day, that's how you would do it before you had the preset.
Back in my day, we had to make your own flanged audio. Yeah,
you could make flanged audio, by the way, in like two seconds,
right, yeah, okay, but you're not flanging stuff on the fly
unless you have two audio sources with one of them on a delay. Right
you hear how to describe this. You could do it in real time,
but you would have to have like what you know, you'd have to have
the two audio sources. That's about to say, you'd have to have two
different mics or audio sources in front of it, right, and so like
feasibly, I guess you could do it if you're running a put a mic
out and a line out and there's a delay, But that didn't happen like
that's not no, none of this doesn't sound like that at all. It
just sounds like an old man who can barely talk, who can't finish his
sentences. That's what you're hearing. And they're sitting there and I think they're
so brainwashed, and they so went along for the longest time that he's great
and as sharp as attack, and suddenly he's not, and you're just trying
to cope. I think with this is a whole bunch of cope. I
just all of these audio experts. It's just maddening when like, this is
your business and it's clear these people don't know anything. They don't know they
don't know anything about anything, but they're so positive and they're so confident that
they do know things, but they don't. If that makes sense, it's
yeah, from my point of view, I am so excited to finally see
the conspiracy lunatic stuff coming from the left when it comes to this, when
it comes to bad performance or why your polls aren't showing the way you think
they should be showing, or why your candidate is doing so badly. I'm
so exc cited that they're now on the crazy train. Well, but now
let's let's be honest. They've been on the crazy train for stuff, for
you know, the dog whistley stuff. I consider that crazy. This is
different. This is different. This is a this is a different slice Dan.
This is you know, he's being high. Think about that. They
believe that CNN is in the tank for Trump, giving hand signals to Trump,
Dana Bashwaz. They believe that the New York Times in the tank for
Trump. They're doing all these things as sabotage Biden that's crazy town. Well,
and the irony is they don't have to mess with the audio if they're
hitting him with the directional microwave weapon. Uh, like the one from a
Havannah, the Havana syndrome, the syndrome. Yes, yes, see Uh.
And if you thought it couldn't get any crazier, let me do this.
We'll take a break because yeah, they went there and uh it's looney
Tunes and it's next hang on. But where we get off on into a
crazy town is Biden was being assaulted with a directed energy weapon to diminish his
performance. The proof, by the way, is that if the next day
at the Raleigh rally, he you know, he was energetic, he was
boisterous, and so it's obviously a directed energy weapon. That was the difference
because, as you know, living in North Carolina, subsonic, directed energy
or audio weapons can't be used in the Jim Graham Building. It's just a
known fact. So so he went with this thing. They literally Havana syndromed
him. I can't even read this with a straight face, man, And
people are all in on this. What cosmy days? What is noticeable?
As he held on for ninety minutes came back to himself, and as you
saw the next day, was a completely differ from person what convince they were
at the that we had completed the show, we could do the promo and
go home. Are you pointing a directed energy weapon at me too constantly?
Okay? Oh, I'm just so used to it. I would explain a
lot there, all right. So anyway, Yeah, it looks like we
have two more hours to I'm like, we didn't even get a chance to
talk with Pete yet. I enjoy that segment. I think the audience does
as well. And lord knows, after the insanity in Asheville we talked about
earlier this week, In fact, can you put that back up on the
button where I'm gonna need that later? And we talked to Pete with the
anarchist book fair and what what sure looks like physical assault with a with a
hate crime attached. We'll have to get into the details there with him,
and obviously the Biden insanity as well. Luckily, over at AP, I
think they've kind of figured out how to cover this. It's very interesting to
watch the different news outlets all of a sudden fundamentally change the way that they
did everything having to acknowledge this issue. I would say that a lot of
the MSNBC hosts don't care. I think Joy Reid said she'd vote for him
in a coma which she may get the chance. The Economist, I I
didn't believe the first time I checked to make sure that was real. The
Economists front page is a walker with the presidential seal attached to the front,
and I'm like, that has to be photoshop. Twitter is very dicey now,
but you know that's that's the cost of freedom or whatever you want to
call it, comitment to the First Amendment. Right, You really have to
do your homework on stuff because if it's even if it is real, the
amount of people that will post stories that are like fifteen years old, and
I always get I get a little heartbroken because I'll see the story and I
don't recognize it. I'm like, oh, but they've just screenshot like a
very tight title screen and like with no date on it, and You're like,
oh, man, please tell me this is a new story, Like
what did I see this morning? And then it was such a buzzkill when
I found out it was really old. Oh it was a woman who was
on vacation and she you know, she's hiking and she comes across a bunch
of people who are on a They're a search party trying to find a missing
woman. So she joins the search party, spends the entire day looking,
you ready, for herself. Turns out that somebody had reported her missing when
she didn't check in, so they literally set a search party like asaps.
So she spent the day trying to find herself. Just very existential for the
damn things like twelve years old. So you got to do your homework that
economists cover with the walker with the presidential seal. I was like, that
has to be a photo shot. It's not. It's not. So they're
like, they're all in, And I would again warn you just because they're
saying the things that they should have been saying. They're not off the hook,
right. You know, you don't get to do one thing right once
and have it negate all of the insanity, especially that she saw during when
Trump was in office, but you know, just the general bias reporting that
we see. This is AP's headline. Biden at eighty one, often sharp
and focused, but sometimes could fused and forgetful. Well, what kind of
bet are you hedging here? Man? Often sharp and sometimes yeah, often
sharp and focused, but sometimes confused and forgetful detailing. The New York Times
did of the governor's meeting, which uh, at first Roy Cooper was going
to be there in person, and then nobody would answer, and then I
guess he he you know, joined it on zoom or whatever what I want
the media out there asking because the statement was that all the democratic governors are
still all in for Biden. Oh it was Roy Cooper. I'm curious,
stick a mic in his face. Where is he at on this? What
are his thoughts? He was at the Raleigh rally, he was one of
the speakers there the day after. But how can we how come we don't
know the thoughts not just of our governor but somebody whose name was floated to
potentially replace him. And I get it, it's dicey for him politically,
but you know, the absolute lack of things where Cooper can't control the narrative
like you saw during Corona, where they just made up this this queuing process
for questions that just happened to not include people who would ask critical questions.
For the most part, that's wild, and that is standard practice here in
North Carolina. Meanwhile, Pat McCrory, when he was in office, they
didn't mind throwing a question at him over stuff that there was intentionally asked to
either embarrass or challenge him, which is fine, you're the governor. So
where is he at over this? Where is let's see here? Why is
the New York Times finally doing a bit of journalism some of the statements,
like he told the governors, let's see here. I remember we already talked
about how between ten and four he's amazing. He also said that they're gonna
he told the governors reportedly that they're going to try to not schedule stuff after
eight o'clock. Oh, that should be incredibly troubling, looks I. I
yes, I get why. You can go, well, we're going to
schedule stuff earlier in the day. Some presidents, remember, remember remember the
when we all learned what a lid was within about five minutes of this administration
being sworn in. Oh, he called a lid, right that was?
And that was like this weird talking point where it was just so unusual.
But it's not unusual for presidents to have quirks within their schedules. Donald Trump
had a quirk within his schedule, and they and they chewed him up every
day or chance they could on it. Right, what was Trump's thing?
He would get up and in the residence he would watch like Fox and Friends
and whatever else he watched, and he would and he would consume the morning
shows before coming down. In fact, they went so far ross. Do
you remember when they wrote an article saying that the reason he didn't go to
the Oval office early is because ghosts. Do you remember that way? I
do remember that. Yes, they literally said that Donald Trump was scared of
ghosts and so he wouldn't come down early until there were a bunch of people
around because ghosts. The main thing too, with his schedule was sort of
the opposite. They were always like, oh, well, he never goes
to bed, He's always up because that's when he would tweet. Right,
So it's like, oh well, Biden just sleeps all day. It was
great, Look it was. It was great for us doing a morning show.
I've often said this when you do when you do an afternoon show or
you do late morning, midday something like that, you get breaking use events,
right, so you can go the president speaking, Let's let's jip it
as they say, let's let's go ahead and listen in. And it's instant
content. It's fresh content. Right, you haven't heard it before because it's
live, it's happening now, and in real time. I can offer my
childish observations in the morning. You never really got that except with Trump's Twitter
account. We did. Ready, we kicked that show off and like last
minute stopped for me. Has he tweeted anything yet, because you know he
would. He would either never sleep or he'd get up so damn early and
just start banging away. And and he could put out some doozies before the
show ever started. And and then it turned you know, that whole thing
was, well, he's never sleeping, he's on the adderall he's scared of
goes uh. He would call into Fox and Friends, which cheesed all of
them the because they're you know, finally there's one president who literally isn't at
their beck and call. The whole thing was wild. But if he's telling
the governors, hey, we're not gonna do stuff after eight, that's a
story in and of itself. And then and you know, you can say
it's a joke or whatever, but the governor of Hawaii. Josh Green,
who is a physician by the way, was asking Biden questions about the status
of his health. I guess he kind of got nominated whether you're the doctor
you ask him, and Biden reportedly replied that his health was fine. It's
just my brain. Now again, do I think that he might he was
joking or attempting to joke when he said that. Probably right, he's he's
amongst friends. I don't know how the conversation was going, like the energy
of it prior to that. So yeah, But as somebody who has made
many an inappropriate joke at an inappropriate time, I can't even fathom that,
dude, because you know, the quote's going to get out there, somebody
in that room's going to leak something. And sure enough, to The New
York Times, they had a source. Let's see, according to three people,
they had three sources familiar with what took place, a remark that some
in the room took as a joke, but at least one governor did not.
Who was that governor? Was it Roy Cooper? Was it the Hawaii
governor? Who was it General Mallley Dylan, Biden's campaign chairer, who attended
the meeting and said in a statement that he had said all kidding aside,
And I think there's one other person who said, yeah, he may have
said that. He did say it, So again, do I think it
was joking? Yeah? But you know this stuff's going to get reported.
Why are you making this woman's job so hard? And then for CNN or
for AP to essentially right, that is their headline often sharp and focus,
sometimes confused and forgetful. It's just my brain. It's so cringey. Man,
all right, I can't dwell just on this because it's damn depressing.
So coming up on the show, let's see here, I would get a
hawk twoey update, Sure, why not? And the Daily Beast, Oh,
the Daily Beast thought they had themselves a scoop as a video emerges of
Trump sitting in a golf cart talking to some folk. I don't know which
club he's at, and he's probably up at his Jersey club, just you
know, cutting up and tie. It's really crazy, like the like like
him during his presidency's just like showing up to weddings and stuff and just work
in the room. Whenever you see those videos come out, and can you
imagine you're having your I mean, granted, you're having it at a country
club owned by Trump, so there's a higher probability than your local golf course.
But he would enjoy doing that stuff. So these videos would emerge,
and in this one, and we'll play the audio for you, he is.
He doesn't hold back, and Daily Beasts is like, can you believe
what he said? Yes? Yeah, At no point did I think this
has to be a deep fake. I'm like that that's real. Hey,
good morning, Casey. How are you. I'm pretty good, sir.
Though I'm under attack from Ross's directional energy weapons, so I just found out.
Yeah, So I just wanted to say that they're right. I was
the culprit. I built the energy weapon during the debate. I took a
part my microwave above it and hooked it up to my direct TV dish and
beamed it right down the CNN streamline. The only thing that protected Trump was
his hair. I can't seem to get it past his hair. It's got
to be some kind of you know, helmet from like the X Men and
stuff. You know, well, magneto. Maybe I had another theory,
sir, What if it's the Bronzer? Because you notice immediately Biden went out
and painted himself orange. Maybe they're like, a, yeah, so I'm
kind of sunscreen. Yeah it might be right. I haven't tested at that,
but I just can't seem to get to Trump man, but I can
get to Biden real easy. Yeah. But the energy we yes around and
I built it from the anarchist cookbook. Showed you how to build it.
If anyone's interested, it does have some stuff in there. All right,
Well, thanks for the full confession, Chris. We do appreciate it.
All right, So there's your culprit. Oh man, all right, let
me let me get over to this. So. Yeah, so it was
Daily Beast and then every Biden campaign or Democrat Twitter account running the little snippet
from Trump talking to some fellow golfers, and they thought they had themselves a
pretty big scoop. I'll let you be the judge. How did I do
with the other night at all? Broken down pilot crab? Yeah, it's
a bad guy. He just quit. You know, he's quitting. The
risk is that right? Yep? I got him out of there, and
that means we have Kamala. I think she's going to be better. She's
so bad, she's so pathetic, it's so amazing. It's just I just
can't imagine. But can you imagine that guy with dealing with Putin and the
president of China, who's a fierce person. He's a fierce man, a
very tough guy. And they've seen him, they've probably you can't, but
they just announced he's he's probably quitting. You just keep knocking him out right,
all right? All right? And so there's about nine different scandals according
to the Daily Beast analysis. One can you believe he called Joe Biden all
broken down piece of crap? Yes? I can. We got the the
Asheville anarchist book, fair hate crime stuff, and of course just you know,
everything going on with Biden, so plenty to fill that segment. That'll
be a half hour from now. Oh boy. All right. So yeah,
so that you've probably seen the video. It's Trump. He's chatting with
I don't club members, whoever, whoever's there, and he's got some thoughts.
And I'm just going to replay this audio once again because in forty one
seconds there's three big scandals, according to Daily Beast, one the insulting of
Biden, two the insulting of Kamala, and three would they they they present
as a romance between Gee Putin and Donald Trump, because you know, that's
that is part of the narrative there and here we go the other night,
broken down pilot. Yeah. Oh, and I'm sorry there's a fourth.
They're saying, it's clear that Trump likes his ego stroked. I won't disagree
with you there, but I will also point out, I don't know if
you know this, that's something that tends to permeate politicians too. I know
a lot of politicians that just love it when people are and it's not just
politicians. A lot of people like it when you're sitting around everyone's telling you
how great you are. People react to it in different ways. People can
be humble. I find it, and Ross, I think you're the same
way, just because we're kind of people don't realize that we're basically kind of
introverts outside of the radio. I get embarrassed by that stuff, and like
I appreciate the conversation, but like it's it's strange. Whereas some people,
especially people who are very extroverted, who enjoy having all those conversations, and
I'll have them, and I you know, I love getting into a good
conversation with one of our listeners or clients or any of the rest of it.
But like, Ross and I are clowns in a clown car man,
and people are like, you're changing the world. No, we're just we're
playing audio and making wrestling weather stuff. So I like, I get the
vibe there. And if you want to be critical on that, fine Daily
Beast. But I know I've like, I've literally met one of your reporters
who might have been one of the most repugnant people I've ever had the misfortune
of being pushed next to at a radio thing and they were in the booth
directly next to me. So uh, any who, All right, let's
let's get back to the audience. He just quit, you know, he's
quitting. The risk is that right? Yep? I got him out of
that, And that means we have Kamala. I think she's going to be
better. She's so bad, she's so pathetic, it's so amazing. It's
just I just can't imagine. But can you imagine that guy with dealing with
Putin and the president of China, who's a fierce person. He's a fierce
man, a very tough guy, and they see him. They they just
announced he's he's probably quitting, all right, So this is like this was
supposed to be the scandal there. One is the the assessment of Biden and
Kamala. I guess one and two. I mean, did you think that's
not what he thought? And if and if you did, because I don't
know you've been in a coma. Did you not see any of the giant
truth posts that Trump was doing yesterday? Like this is the you're not scandalizing
that. But I think the most important part is Putin and g are serious
dudes, and they are not good dudes, as evidence by literally everything you
see with Putin, right is uh, you know, people falling out of
buildings, people getting poisoned, people getting dis appeared, thrown up in gulags
where they didn't get poisoned. Right, This is this is old school USSR
stuff. I keep thinking about that guy. I remember the meeting where disagreeing
and like he just they just got up around him and disappeared him. All
right. So that ross is referring to g right, But let's be clear
that was the party meeting, which you know there really is only the one
party that wasn't some dude that was his predecessor. Right, that's the former
president, the former president, right, Chin, I want you, I
want you to envision the Democratic nominating convention in August, right, and Jimmy
Carter or Bill Clinton standing there, and then they say something that Biden or
Harris or whoever it is doesn't like, and you never hear from them again.
Right, And in the middle of it, they just surround him and
take him out, like walk him out. They escorted him out of the
building on a field trip up to a farm or something. I don't know.
Yeah, no, they just you're out of here. That's a former
president or prime minister, right, former head of China. Right, so
Trump, I mean, they said fair and it's an honest point. These
guys, right President Jijing Paning eleven, if you want to call them,
they're very fierce competitive people and they need to be you need to be serious
when dealing with them, and this administration is not. In fact, a
lot of people would say that Biden bows too much to China, and there's
reasons for that possibly well, And but you know, also what's crazy is
they talk about Trump was never hard on him, he did the tariffs,
and then they're horrible with the tariffs, and then Biden maintained the tariffs.
Right. So there's just so much double speak with this crap. But the
thing that has to be in the back of your mind, whether it is
dealing with Putin or the China attacks us cyber attacks us all day every day.
The Communist Party has their toe in the water of anyone who is a
corporation or doing business in China, right and wigers right where they literally are
selling stuff on their own corrupt websites. American consumers are buying it, and
it's it's some of it is cotton picked by slaves. I want you to
I want you to think about it. It's cotton picked by slaves. It
couldn't be more on the nose of problematic in a world where everything's problematic and
and and and obviously in China also in their quest to control things, has
proxy votes within the UN that. Don't get me wrong, the US is
also about proxy. We have a long history of this. But how China
does it now is wild because they go in like they'll go into some despot
nation where there's some dictator and and literally just pay the dude off and then
they'll create these jobs, but actually they bring a bunch of Chinese over to
do the jobs. It's part of the deal. And hey, at the
UN, will you vote this way like this is and it may bankrupt them.
The Sri Lankan thing was almost entirely financed by China. They took a
big loss there. But make no mistake, Jijinping is he's probably worse than
Putin because remember his ideology, which Putin partially abscribes to. But the ideology
in China still is, Hey, if we have to starve thirty million of
our of our countrymen to accomplish what we want, that's cool. Whereas I
think Putin he didn't go famine in Ukraine. He found a different route.
But you can't go in thinking you can't be Hillary. Remember Hillary Clint with
the reset button? Did you see the way Putin looked at her? Do
we all remember that video as Secretary of State when she brought in the off
it was an office depot that had those commercials forever, We got a reset
button. This dude was literally in the middle of building secret Olympic tunnels and
she's running around, you know, to cheat, and she's running around.
I got a reset button. You want to us the red button. You
can't approach him like that, but are you Look? You also don't have
to go the way that he dealt with that Taliban dude. You can be
strategic about it, but you can never think that they have your best interest
and understandably so. They're the presidents of other countries. The whole thing is
wild. Man. You can't deal with them like you deal with New Zealand.
Yes, is my point? All right, seven forty three. Oh,
speaking of other countries, I'm going to thank the UK. I'll do
that coming up. Who do we got Jeff marw Oh that's right, Jeff
margrew the short stick, as did we Yes, oh man, But you
get to talk about landfall and one hundred and one degree records. So it's
a busy day for you, sir, Yeah, it is. You're right
about Hurricane Barrel made landfall near Touloom as a category two hurricanes is going to
a weekend hour the yucatam Panicsula before emerging back out into the Gulf, where
it may restrengthen to a hurricane as it approaches the border of Mexico and Texas.
Did he hit any of the Kardashians because they're always into loom, aren't
they. Yeah, maybe it will. That'd be a shame. Anyway,
I'm sorry. I'm not going to drag you all. That's good. Yeah,
maybe it will. Some heavy rain would be beneficial to Texas as that
gets closer. They need it. As far as our weather, the big
story, the heat and humidity and excessive heat warning is in effect until eight
o'clock this evening, with a high today around one hundred degrees. That's bad
enough, when he added, the humidity level will feel closer to one oh
five, maybe as high as one ten. That's where the heat indcks may
top out today, So be careful. You're gonna be spending a lot of
time outdoors of that heat and humidity. Also temperature climb some scattered afternoon they're
eating thunder storms overnight, a love seventy eight hot dagg in tomorrow with scattered
thunderstorms ninety seven the high with the triple digit heat in decks on Sunday,
a little bit cooler with scattered showers and thunderstorms at a high close to ninety.
All right, thank you, we'll talk in an hour. Appreciate it.
So, yeah, I want a big thank you, and I'll explain
why on the just really made the Independence Day that much more special in my
opinion. Also tourist Goring story, because why the heck not. We'll throw
that in and much more coming up Cacoda Radio Progress use me. CNN and
the Trump campaign are in cahoots and they're using a magic audio processing thing to
sabotage Trump or firing directional energy weapons at him too for whatever reason. I
don't know, just just buckets of what is that? What do you Russ?
Do you have? Is that the Fox channel still up? What is
that? What are you talking about? I'm not doing this all right?
So anyway, we got we got that, we got self driving cars,
just you know, all sorts of insanity. And we got our annual list
of the drunkest cities in America. I don't know. They always put this
out around fourth of July. So what's wild is one state has seven cities
in the top ten. And I think you know what state it is,
Wisconsin. We're by the way in Wisconsin. Do you don't hear that?
You don't hear the channel open? I'm putting the podcast together and getting rid
of obviously you have that you have the Adobe pot open or something. I
can't anyway, So in Wisconsin the number Green Bay, Wisconsin is number one.
Oh Claire is number two. By the way, Oh Claire has a
serial assaulter. Somebody's running around throwing cheese at cars and they're trying to get
to the bottom of it. Which is the most Wisconsin crime I've ever heard.
Okay, now it's different. It's that's clearly the fox unanchored? Is
that the is it? Can you see it on the on the meters on
the board. I'm not seeing anything. Are you feeling okay? Are you?
Are you all right? You're not having like headaches? Headache? Tell
you where all the hammered people are? And I feel like I'm one of
them right now or i I'm on hallucinogenics. You're sounded like these crazy people
man with Biden and the stupid energy weapons. You're just do you have a
headache? Should we leave? We should probably leave? Should we leave early?
This is contact the most elaborate plan. So you try to get me
to but we can't. There's there's no plan, dude. So Claire Wisconsin
number two, and then Appleton Madison. Let's see saw and Lacrosse all on
there is crazy. Now. The list includes where they did surveys about who
binge drinks. Also U drunk driving arrest that are Owi's as they call him
in Wisconsin. That's southerly. Are you Is that one of your stupid star
Trek toys. I'm not hearing a thing. I know what you're talking about.
Dude. There's no sort of beam weapon trying to get you off the
air. Is it set to stun at least? I mean technically, I'm
not going to set off a silent sense because there's audio. I'll plow through
this. What's crazy is of the top twenty drunkest cities, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa are most of them. The outliers are one in Montana, Missoula,
and the only let's see in the Fairbanks, Alaska. And then there's
only one on the coast or a coastal state, and that is New York
where Watertown Fort Drum made the list. And I don't even know where that
is so, but perhaps it's one of those parts of New York that makes
you want to binge drink. All right, So I said the fourth of
July was extra special yesterday and it kind of was. Remember we're just a
couple of years out from the two hundred and fiftieth, which we the amount
of money that's been spent to plan a party at the governmental level. I'm
I'm still I'm still wondering if that's gonna work out or if that'll just be
a giant throw money away a thing. But we won't know for two years.
But this one was special because as an added bonus, And I want
to apologize because most of the memes I saw yesterday were making fun of the
British. Even I even you know, said the Blue a thirteen colony lead
at some point on Twitter. And I feel kind of bad because Britain surrendered
yesterday and like that nostalgic feeling, which it's nostalgia that we weren't even there
for right, because we're not two hundred and fifty years old. So I
mean, how much better is your Fourth of July holiday coupled with British surrender?
Because remember, the declaration of Independence was a thing, and then you
know, then we had to do the war. So in that lifetime,
this this date already became you know, the date on which it celebrated because
it was the date when the publications were posted, and you know, the
declarations were literally sent around to be read, to be read, and then
years later you got to couple it with the British surrender. That's amazing.
That felt so good. Voters in the UK basically turned the Conservative Party known
as the Tories into a like a third party and handed the reins to the
moon Bets man. And it's not even close. People on like X and
social media, like friends that I have over in the UK, and they're
like super excited, like all their problems are gonna be solved now. Oh
really they gonna they gotta, They're gonna solve them. Huh what do they
do? They honestly believe that you ask, no, like, no,
it's people don't Oh you can hear it. No, No, it's no.
I was reading something here read well uh huh Okay, they're sub screwed,
man. Oh, I mean it is what it is. We're here
doing our thing and Pete Calender our radio buddy to the South the middays w
BT and you can listen in via the iHeart radio app. He's here,
but I will warn you. While he is often sharp and focused, toccasionally
he's confused and forgetful. Hey Pete, what's up? Man? I just
need more time to sleep, that's all I need to work less. I
need more sleep, don't we all? Don't we all? Yeah, it's
only your brain though, right, it's just my brain. And I made
a mistake. That was my bad. Uh yeah, I'm more. Look,
all of those is got to say the queen dude can what a what
a gift last weekend or last yesterday? Right, not only is it the
fourth of July, but we get to do one where the British surrender at
the same time. Absolutely amazing. I wasn't gonna drag in an international politics,
but they're cooked, man. I don't know what's going on over there.
So well it's well, it's all under the heading of a rejection of
the quote unquote ruling elite. David Strom had a really great piece this week
in uh at hot air dot com and kind to put all of the all
of the various failures of the quote ruling elite, right, the establishment,
whatever you want to call them. The institutional leaders have failed and it has
become you know, very apparent to citizens in Western countries. And that's what
you're seeing is a rejection this populism that has been rising. It's because the
institutions and the people who lead them have failed. Everybody sees it and we're
not We're not buying it any longer. And this idea is sort of transnational
movement among Western leaders is being rejected and right now they're sort of still in
the denial phase. So I don't what. I'm not an expert on UK
politics at all, but it makes sense. It's just throw the bums out.
It doesn't matter what their political philosophy is. When you pursue the sort
of transnational agenda and you're failing your citizens at hall, then yeah, you're
gonna get tossed. Well, sure, but they promised more of the same.
One of the people who may be Prime Minister, I'm not sure exactly
where that's all at right now. She was like, you know, for
the sake of diversity, who cares if we have to wait an extra week
to go to the doctor. And that's on top of the months that they
wait. Sometimes in France, mccrone's party had to make a deal with the
essentially the squad so that La Penn doesn't get in there. In Spain when
they did elections, they went, whoops, we didn't mean to do those
elections, and then they just did more. So it's like, you know,
I watch it from a distance, and you have to wonder, especially
with the UK, you wonder when something crazy happens that compromises basic freedoms,
we'll, you know, I'll see one of those stories that will generally pick
up here. And I just asked myself, how many years away are we
from that? So this will fast track some of that. So who knows,
maybe they'll throw all the bums out again here in short order. But
we got our own bums, and they are they are having they're having this
moment where I'm watching people sit there and say, well, look, now,
you know, at least they're at least they're willing to be honest about
their own And I'm getting very upset, like all these media are being praise
for finally writing this stuff, or or the twenty five members of Congress who
all just happen to be in red or purple districts who are democratic, right,
I don't give people credit for any of this, And frankly, it
should be one more death nail for the media. And they're they're they're just
swimming to make sure that that doesn't happen. Do you think that sticks or
do you think if you're the economist and you run the Walker photo like they
did, or the New York Times reporting the brain thing, that people's uh,
people soften their memory on this stuff because I hope it sticks. Well,
yeah, I saw somebody make the point that the mask slipped it,
like the whole charade started crumbling way back in two thousand and four, when
you know, Dan Rather got busted on his fake news National Guard papers right
right right, and it was just like some lawyers with a blog right that
that busted that myth up. And I saw somebody else point out that if
you follow a couple of Twitter accounts like RNC research, that you've known more
than the media has reported for years. You and I like, this is
the thing we sit here in sort of you know, conservative media land,
and because we you know, stay up to speed on what legacy corporate outlets
report, right, we see what they don't cover. But the audience,
your audience, my audience, like they are up to date on this stuff.
They are more well informed of Joe Biden's status than these You know that
your average NPR listener. And so I think part of what they've got to
do now is in order to preserve some sort of facade of you know,
credibility with their own audience, right, because their own audience just saw that
debate and now they're like, whoa, what is this? Right, whereas
we've seen it, we know, and the legacy outlets are now going through
this sort of like, well, you know, I wasn't really sure.
I had heard some rumors about it. And remember these are people that are
paid six figures to know what's going on, right, and now that's playing
the party people. This just be clear, because you and I know how
it works up in Washington. These are cocktail party people. This is an
inner inner circle with these cats. It's the reason that the one of the
CNN anchors is married to one of the intelligence guys who signed it, one
of the fifty one. Right. This is a small bubble beat and people
need to remember that, correct, right, And it's very insular. And
so when and they are saying that they didn't know, well you may not
have known for sure, but then we see the piece what's their name,
Olivia Newsy or Nazzy or whatever her name is, and she does this massive
piece about how she basically sat on this information for six months. The last
time she had a meet face to face with Joe Biden it surround the holidays,
and she knew. And she also makes a reference apparently he's had a
bunch of plastic surgery done. She made reference to this, Like, so
there's this, there's this attempt to salvage credibility in order to let's now focus
on who's going to replace him without, you know, without addressing the fact
that he is still president and if he shouldn't be on the ticket because he
is mentally infirmed, then he shouldn't be president. But flight problem, Kamala
Harris. Right, yeah, so this is the most delicious self inflicted wound
ever. Remember these folks were on the record saying that they were picking a
and a woman of color, right they said it. Joe Biden said it.
Well, he just said it in that interview he did a couple of
interviews. Yes, well yeah, kind well he said he was the black
woman. But I mean we knew what he meant, right, yes,
so yeah, so he wants the credit for all of this, and he's
like checking the boxes, like look at me, I'm, you know,
a friend of black people, and I name this black person to do this
job and this one to do this job whatever. So he wants that kind
of credit. But she is such an awful campaigner, She's an awful politician,
and that's got everybody heartburned. And they can't figure out how to leapfrog
her, right, They're trying. They want they want somebody else, they
don't want her, and how do you do that? And you heard Clive
Burns talking about some sort of a mini convention, right, five week five
week campaigns and then because it's what April seven, excuse me, August seventeenth,
right, so it's you know, it's coming up, right, They're
not going to have a lot of time, and just by way of scheduling,
they get to do it after the Republicans nominate Trump. And so this
is you know, like me, personally, I prefer Biden stay on the
ticket. I would rather him be on the ticket than off because there's just
too many unknowns, right, Like, how are Democrats going to preserve the
democracy by not allowing their own voters to pick their their nominates. They already
have super delegates, they've already told regular voters that they the important people count
more. And they did that because people don't remember this. The whole the
super delegate thing was a response to third parties, right, so you know,
they they they've already indicated that they don't trust the decision making of their
own folks. But all, how's the cover up factor? How come nobody's
got a microphone in Roy Cooper's face right now? Well, that's the the
d shield, right, That's that's the benefit of being a Democrat. It
means you get the shield, and it means that and that shield protects you
from all sorts of these types of questions until until you have some sort of
a preference cascade, if you will, like we're seeing with Biden right now.
That's and so you're seeing some of this, you know, the rumors
that are out there, and you've got big money donors, right that's what's
going to move all of this, and they're already moving and that's why these
these talks are now occurring. There are people that have the knives out for
Joe Biden and they they see their shot, they're going to take it,
you know. And you've got donors that are that are very, very worried
because that's like they're looking at this like, Okay, we can't have Donald
Trump win, so we need to pull the plug and we need to move
away from Biden. We need to do whatever we need to do, because
that's what's more important now. Uh. The other part of this is that
you've got the Biden camp and this ever shrinking circle of confidence. Write of
his advisors, who now Hunter Biden has been brought in you know as an
as an advisor at last night of Long Knives and and ironically we just that
was what the anniversary was just the other day of the kickoffs. This is
what happens in like uh, you know, like when totalitarian regimes take over,
there's a coup, right, you saw it in a cube, but
you see others and that is you don't want to be you don't want to
be like mid beesties with whoever's in charge now and have them see you as
a thread. So the paranoid that's obviously setting in up at the White House,
Uh, Hunter Biden there, that indicates that you don't trust any of
your staff man right well, and I don't blame him, I mean they
he makes some comment to this, you know, circle of advisors, and
within a couple of hours it's in the New York Times. And then Donald
Trump was in three person meetings and they were printing direct quotes and they never
found it. So give me right, give me a break, right,
Well, and that's that is one of the most remarkable things about this is
the whining and the crying from the administration about the media treatment, right,
the criticism that they have of the media, which I'm old enough to remember
when that was a threat to our democracy, that if you could not criticize
media coverage of the president. I remember those days well. And so now
they're they're mad at being treated like every other Republican is treated, like what's
his name? Bates? Andrew Bates, the guy who I always have to
mention, lied, yeah, and lied about the radio station that I work
at down in Charlotte. He lied After that interview that our news director did
with corn John Pierre where he asked her does he have dementia? She got
very offended by it, and then she hung up and left the interview,
right, she hung up, and yeah, and there was a dial tone
that kicked in, and he accused our news director of inserting that audio it's
like, and this is the guy that is now complaining about media coverage.
It's only because they're not getting the kid glove treatment. They can't keep Biden
under wraps anymore. They've got to bring him out. And as they bring
him out, he keeps on making more and more of these mistakes, and
he keeps the stuttering their call you know, Oh it's a stutter. He
was over prepped. Oh he had a cold. And now in the latest
I just saw is they're running this idea that he traveled the week before.
He was traveling a bunch and that's why he was so poor on the debate
stage. But we all know this has been a long pattern of decline,
and the media that has been part of not telling the American public that story
is now going to race in and try to tell that story so they don't
get blamed as being an accomplice. Now they may be able to pull that
off. Tamala Harris cannot because she has been at the forefront of telling people
that Joe is fine, he's you know, healthy and mentally sharp and all
this sudden stuff. So what did she know? When did she know it?
And that may be the thing that sinks her by the way, I
noticed you left off let's see microwave directional microwave weapon or or CNN in cahoots
with Trump. And then people who obviously never edited audio posting things like I've
run Biden's debate audio through multiple digital enhancers and correctors. You can't repair it.
The guys saw CSI once and now he wants to express So you know
what, at this point it all runs together because it's all equally as unbelievable
man and the makeup artists and the makeup artist, which I thought, like,
this is the thing also that kills me is that they are guilty of
that which they accuse Trump right the things right as soon as like what is
their immediate reaction after the debate, It's like they trot him back out there
and it's like, wait, what is he ring? What's going on here?
Like they bronzed them up? Like that was the response after the debate
was to spray paint the president. Come on, guys, well, actually
the bronzer is what shields you from the directional energy weapons, which was an
impact Yeah, one of our other conversation earlier, So now you know that's
wow. The rally and Raleigh was different. All Right, I just got
to hit you with this because I still even though you broadcast in Charlotte,
now you spent a lot of years in Ashville, so I blame you for
everything. Can we not beat up Jewish people at our anarchist book fair?
Or is that just too much to ask of Ashville? That is too much,
That is way too much to ask. They haven't gotten any decent protesting
and beaten on recently, you know, it's been a while ago. It's
one hundred and one. You want to you want to protest? And right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, and so they yeah. So the big
question I had with how exactly a bunch of anarchists organize a three day book
fair that seems completely off brand? You know the book lists from our colleague
Mark, I'm like, yeah, Angela, David Tanisha Coates, yeah sure,
right, yeah yeah yeah. And they're all of course very very concerned
about health, and so they're all wearing their surgical masks and stuff. Yeah,
well, group assaulting people. Now they arrested what they arrested the one
girl who they think stole the phone. But other than that, I don't
know. That sounds a little hate crime. You I got thirty seconds.
Do you think that they actually do a bunch of arrests. I think they're
looking for one person at this point, a person of interest with no description,
just a photo. So yeah, I don't know. They may the
woman who got arrested. I find it interesting that she was arrested back in
twenty seventeen at the cow for Oh yeah, yeah, all right, we'll
join the Ryan against Trump. Yeah, we'll have to save that for next
week. That's a figment of your mad that didn't happen. I've been informed.
All right, Pete, appreciate it, my man, have a good
weekend and we'll be back. Hang on, I didn't see any big time
fireworks craziness in the news. I guess that's somewhat refreshing that everyone's got their
fingers, or or maybe they didn't have some fingers to start from previous year's
celebrations. Let's see, there were a few things well we mentioned earlier.
Uh where did I put this? Sorry? Sorry? Sorry, I thought
I was looking at the right story. Here's the one I was looking for.
All right, Yeah, I didn't see I didn't see any like you
know, big time insanity. There were obviously some pretty tragic stories. You
had a drug driver that mowed into a bunch of people up in New York.
It's pretty awful. Was it Myrtle Beach? They had a police officer
actually ran a grew a woman over. Saw a headline on that this morning,
so he was distracted. I mean, I'd have a hard problem driving
on the beach, but probably not Myrtle Beach, you know, just the
visual stuff. I'm thinking more of the Baywatch Beach. Ah, here we
go. This is the story I was looking for. You guys want to
Florida Man. Yeah, let's go ahead and do it. Florida, Florida
Man. Florida Man. Is something in the waderty Error's hand that makes you
do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is wanna be dumb ass
trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the
Weird Factor climbs and you find out it haven't in Florida every time, Florida,
then Florida Man. If anyone can cheer me, if you know you
can't, just mind life. You crazy. But of course, but it's
not. It's bad crap, crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna
find him? They're so used to it they don't mind him. Hooray for
Florida. So yeah, this one's a strange one. A forty one year
old Florida man was arrested after he attempted to rob a Chase bank in Lady
Lake, that's north of Orlando. Anyway, he walks into the bank,
grabs withdrawal slips. He does not have an account at the bank, I
would point out, and he writes a note and he handed it to the
teller. The teller looked at him, confused, and he reportedly said because
he did not use the word robbery on the note. He told the teller
quote, so you want me to use the other word. At that point,
the teller realized that this dude's robbing the bank, But then she refused
to give him what he asked for, which is so on brand for my
last times I've been in banks. Like sorry, I'm not picking on the
bank people, but it's just like customer service in some cases, it's just
at an all time low. Manh what he requested was a penny, and
she didn't want to give him that because they're trained to give him like the
bills with the die packs and I don't know, maybe a brain froze or
whatever. I'm not blaming her. I was being robbed, and you know,
I am sympathetic to that. But it's just so strange that you'd quibble
over a penny. Just give him the damn penny. He didn't have a
weapon, and authorities say he then after he then when they wouldn't give him
the penny, he just sat down in a chair. Let's see here,
what is this guy's name. We have a statement letting Michael Patrick Fleming.
Fleming said he initially went to Citizens First Bank, but unfortunately they were closed
before he drove to the nearby Chase branch. He said, most of the
time, the way tellers are trained, if someone comes to Robbie, you
give him money and you let them go. But you wouldn't give me the
money. You just give him the penny out of your pocket at that point.
But then he sat in the chair waited for law enforcement. Look,
obviously there's stuff going on with this dude. Let's see. I think he
got evicted in May. So you know, there's a thing called jailing is
a term that I'm sure there's a more technical term, but basically where people
get people have been in prison and then they realize that they that's mostly what
they've known and the structure like they want it back. And so there are
people literally who will offend for the purpose of going back to prison. But
this guy had no criminal record, So at that point you have to wonder
if he's just financially tapping out. He's just like, now I'll go to
federal prison. The crazy thing is he didn't have you didn't have a weapon.
He wasn't even really aggressive except for the one statement he asked for a
penny and then he waited for police like he I don't know that he may
not get his wish of going to going to federal prison for bank robbery man,
but nothing in his statement speaks to speaks to that he does have the
the prison crazy eyes, so I guess that will serve him. Well,
man, are you guys and this is not the first are you aware of
the brewing Lulu Lemon controversy? Yes, I know this is obviously a big
part of your day. Although we have a lot, we have a lot
of women listeners probably owned some Lulu Lemon, and I want you to understand
that I am not attempting to be insensitive here, but I am going to
agree kind of with what was said. Which it's funny too, because people
who are mad, I've noticed, don't have They didn't bother to check anything
before they started sounding off. So what happened. The founder of Lululemon,
his name is Chip Wilson, did an interview with Forbes, and he made
a statement. But it is not a statement that is the first time he's
publicly made it. He said during the interview quote that when he you know,
when he was putting together Lululemon, one of the things he did not
want. I'll read this verbatim, I do not want I did not want
certain customers coming in, people drinking coke or pepsi or eating McDonald's. He
went further to echo a statement that he had actually previously made like a decade
ago, where he said, look, some women shouldn't be wearing our product.
There it becomes let's see here, what did you say? He said,
when when women who are too big for the product wear it, it
almost renders the products see through because you remember they had that controversy, You're
like you can see through them. So basically he said that some women are
too fat to be wearing Lululemon pants. That's true. Also, I would
point out there are clothes that I am too big to be wearing. All
Right, you don't me wearing a speedo? Nope, nope, I readily
accept that. Now if you want to then whatever. I don't know if
they're I'm sure they're comfortable with the amount of people I see wearing them.
But yeah, and so then they snap into and they're like, we got
to get this guy fired. Well, one he's the founder and two he
hasn't run the company for a decade. So I guess your boycott was very
successful because he's not even in charge. They were just interviewing him because he
said it ten years ago, and at that point they kind of pulled him
out. This guy says a lot. He says a lot of stuff during
interviews, but they thought it is funny where it's like, isn't this a
story from like ten years ago? Then I realized you just did another interview.
And then I realized that angry body positive influencers were they like, they
didn't even bother to see if you could actually get him fired. He just
owned stock. Okay, that's it. That's what he does. I don't
think he's on the board or anything that resigned on the board of directors too,
So there is nothing to cancel, I guess, unless you want people
to door kick and forcibly take his stuff, which I'm sure some of you
do. That's how you deal with stuff, all right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Not that anybody's listening this morning.
I think it's just Trevor and then our list of callers. Let's get into
it. Yes, Boston, Paul, what do you want? Oh man,
I just don't. What are you doing? You know what I mean?
You'll you'll collin, you call in sick with the sniffles or hanging know,
and now you got a day after a holiday and you don't call him
sick. What's wrong with you? So? What's wrong with you? You
hold on? What is wrong with you? How is it that I have
the most updated, brand new list of the drunkest cities in America and you're
not on there? It's not your city or your liver. I don't anymore.
Who's really Boston wasn't on there? So anymore? Yeah, whatever city
you do live in now, I don't want to say it, but that's
on the list. Is embarrassing? Man. Yeah, yeah, Well I'm
getting around. I'm on the road and making sure that who the girls are
all set there. I'll have some place to stay. That's my charity.
Don't you rob my stuff. Get out of here. You have Boston Paul
trying to sneak in on my charity idea from last week. All right,
Ramona, what's up? Thank Casey. I just wanted to give it.
Give me a story, follow up on that Penny story. You had you
guy at the bank. Oh, we had really smart teller and I guess
she didn't follow protocols. But we had a guy come storming in. He
had a full of a scary bandana, sunglasses, gloves, hat, we
couldn't tell if he was black or white, with a shiny looked like a
super block. Just came in and waved it around and held us up.
Okay, but and I won't tell you any more details except the teller.
I mean it was really scary. I was. I was so frightened.
Anyway, the tailer had the chip spaw and the smarts to give him.
I suppose she gave him cash money bills, but she gave him a whole
sack full of pennies and he went staggering out the side of the bank and
into the parking lot and then got in to get away car and they caught
him on on forty going to cerners Bill before he even got the Curnersville.
They caught the guy. He didn't know what d did he think was being
washed? Yeah? But what did he think was in there? Like wouldn't
you immediately orders? You're like, why would I want this? Well?
Who knows? But it was a fact full of pennies And we were laughing
after that. But the poor guy, I mean, the gun was a
beady gun. Oh yeah, yeah, no, I hear you whether I
just realized, but thank you. And by the way, I think that
that yeah, what the what the hell the guy think was in the bag?
All right? Jeff mar from the Weather Channel. If you robbed the
bank and somebody handed you a bag of cash or that felt like all change,
Like you're not taking that as a bank robber, right, no,
no, you get rid of that change. Yeah, that's people are dumb
man, all right? Uh? Going outside that that would that would qualify
as dumb in my book today. Oh yeah, it's going to be a
rough one today on the hottest days of the year, with an excessive heat
warning in effect. That excessive heat warning last until eight o'clock. This eating
the reason the high today near one hundred. It feels even hotter though the
heated decks as high as one oh five to one ten, and you added
humidity. So if you've got to spend a lot of time outdoors at a
be careful, see if you can get some breaks and certainly stay hydrated.
Last, some showers and thunderstorms developing late this afternoon and lingering into the evening,
with an overnight low down to seventy eight. Another hot and humid day
tomorrow with scattered thunderstorms, a heighth to ninety seven and a triple digit heat
in decks. Rain again Sunday afternoon with a high close to ninety. All
right, Jeff, thank you, having good weekend, sir, and Jeff
Bellinger joins us next hang on well, Good morning, casey. The two
key data points and the Labor Department's June employment report are both surprising. The
economy added two hundred and six thousand jobs last month, more than expected,
and the nation's unemployment rate ticked up from four percent to four point one percent.
It was noted the April and May jobs numbers, though, were revised
sharply lower, so this still indicates some moderating job market. Stock market futures
are higher ahead of this Friday session. S and P futures are up three,
Nasdaq futures are up nineteen. Dow futures or up forty three. It
will likely be a quiet session on Wall Street because of the day being right
between the holiday and the weekend. The parent of Sachs Fifth Avenue has agreed
to buy Neiman Marcus. The deal, worth two point sixty five billion dollars,
will create a giant among high end retailers. The buyers are hoping to
win a bigger share of an industry that's been slowing of late. Amazon dot
Com and Salesforce will have minority stakes in the new company. The investor group
that hopes to take over Macy's has reportedly raised its offer again. The Wall
Street Journal says the bid was raised by about three hundred million dollars. Speculation
in Washington over whether President Biden will continue his re election campaign is having an
impact on Wall Street. Investors hate uncertainty and they're making some portfolio adjustments to
account for the possibility that the president could decide to drop out of the race.
And Casey, Despicable Me for debuted in movie theaters on Wednesday. Variety
reports the animated sequel from Universal and Illumination took in twenty seven million dollars on
its opening day. Casey, you're trying to be more polite about it with
why Wall Street might be slow. It's because, Jeff, the three of
us are the only people dumb out to be working today. It's just us.
We screwed up. We should not be here, all right? What
happened or else? Did you insert that dial tone? Like did he think
I was calling him dumb? All right? Yeah, maybe that's what it
was. So but you know, you hear battling around. What he wanted
to say is why am I here? Why are we all here today?
So? Uh, Jamal has that question? Yes, Jamal, what's up?
Well? I was like I got up this morning, I'll, you
know, get myself ready because I have to go to working clocking in and
they're almost like they're love there while you re the walls. You yeah,
let me. This is what's hilarious. Do you know, Ross and I
have less vacation time than some of the premier hosts and the same amount as
as one of the others. Right, well, yeah, because as I
found out case that, like even though sometimes I say if you're sinking,
you're out, Ross still has the program and stuff, so you know he's
still working. People don't know that. Well, just because you're out sick,
don't mean Ross isn't working. But you still on a holiday like this.
You know, I'm thinking both of you guys are gone, and I'm
like, wow, that's dedication. That's why I'm still trying to get you
to convince the r n C here in North Carolina to get you the host
all the governor doingatorial debate, primary doolatory debate or ad actual doola toory debate
as a conservative moderator. But I'm gonna say that's probably my blood feud with
the former director is not going to help that. But I'm sorry, you
got to go to work because we had a theory and Jamal I appreciate the
call. This morning, Ross is like, why is everyone calling at the
end of the show, And I'm like, dude, because they don't have
to work today, right, They just feel bad for us. But look
at that. Jamal's got to go to work. I know what I'm gonna
spend the rest of my day doing, though, So I had I did
a golf thing, and you know how you get a little you get a
little swag bag. I guess Ross would know. He doesn't golf but a
little swag bag of stuff. And I didn't really delve into there until yesterday.
Dude, How have I lived forty four years on this planet without an
electric fly swatter? This thing's amazing. Have you seen these? Right?
It looks like a little badminton racket, and I'm like, there's no way
it's going to work to get near the bugs, because you know, I
just didn't dude. The thing is, I sat on my patio yesterday for
as long as I could take it, sitting there just murdering all the wildlife.
It was absolutely amazing. Ross. You got to get one of these
things, man,
