1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.440
Cada radio program, and that might, I don't know, have something to

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:10.800
do with the fact that, for
whatever reason, everyone say everyone who already

3
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:14.400
lost their mind decided, hey,
let's just do a little more of it,

4
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:20.000
like literally last two Fridays, right
after the show Man, it's just

5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:26.399
a crazy town and we're here for
it. We got Florida man stuff,

6
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:32.240
we got apparently a swapout up at
the US Congress, or at the very

7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.359
least, they don't know what our
flag looks like. Some would say it

8
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:45.679
looks a little intentional. We'll give
you those details. Today is the I

9
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.520
mean, you know, last week
was let's get jurors, but today we're

10
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:55.840
actually going to get into the Trump
I guess what are they calling this the

11
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:02.479
Trump hush money trial? I guess
baby? If I mean, obviously you

12
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.680
probably paid a lot of attention to
it, but it can get a little

13
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:12.200
overwhelming with all of the law fair
going on. So are you aware of

14
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:22.840
who might be a defense witness?
Is bonkers man? And uh, we'll

15
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.560
look, we'll talk about the motivations
and everything going on. But yeah,

16
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.200
the Stormy Daniels hush money Michael Cohen
might have a few other players in it,

17
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.920
including a rather interesting defense witness,
which I don't know it almost the

18
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:49.120
whole thing feels like it feels it
feels like like some sort of trap or

19
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.560
so I don't I even know how
to describe it. And if you don't

20
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.840
know and you're like, what the
hell is he taking, just stay tuned.

21
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.560
I'm gonna I'm gonna hit that story
first. Okay, I'm just giving

22
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.120
you a little rundown. What's going
on? Little hey, hey, how

23
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.040
was your weekend? Kind of thing? And that had me scratching my head

24
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:14.080
so much yesterday when I'm putting prep
together that I just I don't know on

25
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.199
this issue. I don't know what
to think, and I think you'll understand

26
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.439
why. So we got that going
for you. I mentioned the Florida stuff

27
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.879
because hey, who doesn't love a
good Florida man story in the stack?

28
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:35.719
And we will we will dive into
that. Thank you said to restart something,

29
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.159
and now it seems to be working. Also, we got we got

30
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:51.639
this. We got amazing kids who
I think are going to grow up to

31
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.800
be productive adults. You know how
you can just you can tell sometimes whereas

32
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.479
others you're like, I weep for
the next generation. But to be fair,

33
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:07.479
also when you're a kid, and
sometimes your kid version grows into your

34
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.319
adult version, and some people are
now it's that you go back for your

35
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.240
high school reunion and you just you
don't even recognize the person. So I'm

36
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:23.240
gonna hold out hope this kid's gonna
be Okay. He's eleven and he lives

37
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.319
Does he live in Meben or Berlin? I think he lives in Meben or

38
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.240
maybe Berlinton, I don't know,
but I love this story. I love

39
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.319
this story for him and for you
when we get into the audio, because

40
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.919
he wasn't he wasn't taking any crap. So all right, phone number eight

41
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.599
eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four as we get things rolling,

42
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.919
lots of good audio for you.
If you probably over the weekend were following

43
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:58.240
what was going on up at Columbia, where today they're going virtual option,

44
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.039
I guess that's for the Jewish students
who seemingly have for the most part fled

45
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:09.520
campus. Understandably, the very same
version of what you saw up at Columbia

46
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.439
was just kind of getting fired up
at Yale picking up steam, and now

47
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.120
it could become a national franchise.
And so I feel like we here in

48
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.360
North Carolina could see an instance of
this. I'll explain to you what one

49
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:32.120
of the organizations who is putting this
anti Semitic tent city, anti for looking

50
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.240
stuff together. I don't even know
what to call it. But they did

51
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:45.600
say that they have some big plans
and we'll we'll touch on that as well.

52
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.399
And then there was one other story
I wanted to tease real quick.

53
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:58.600
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah, because this how

54
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.959
many of you stop at sheets in
the morning. Oh yeah, right,

55
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.519
stop it if it's the sheets on
the way, especially if you do early

56
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:14.639
morning. I don't know why,
it just it's easier whenever I'm at the

57
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.920
Green when am I at the Greensboro
studio, because I don't have a lot

58
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.720
of sheets right near the Raleigh studio, but near the Greensboro studio, I

59
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.920
guess we're moving our offices, so
there is a sheets right there and that

60
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.560
things that God send it, Oh
dark thirty man. I like it a

61
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.680
little less when it's the one across
from the outlet store. Speaking of Mevan

62
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.519
at you know, three in the
afternoon, that only gets to be a

63
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:47.160
zoo. But you catch my drift. In fact, it's so inviting that

64
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:54.319
it was the scene of I guess
an awkward Hey look how normal I am

65
00:05:54.480 --> 00:06:00.639
visit by Joe Biden himself last week
stopped into his sheets up in Penania.

66
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:09.439
Of course it it didn't play like
they thought it was going to play.

67
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.240
I think a lot of it.
It might have to do too with the

68
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.560
Trump having just stopped at a gas
station and everyone actually happy to see him.

69
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.480
But he did stop there. His
people obviously coordinate this stuff. Joe

70
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:29.199
didn't go, hey, there's the
sheets over there. Let me let me

71
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.959
take it upon myself to plan this
photo. No, no, no,

72
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.879
no, no, he's being handled. And so they decided they're going to

73
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:40.600
go to the sheets, and he
could talk about hard scrabble and the cannibal

74
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.839
incident or whatever, and speaking of
that, we got to follow up story

75
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:49.439
of that, and then decided to
go after them or something. So I

76
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.639
don't know, maybe I'm trying to
figure out what he meant. What at

77
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.759
the sheets may have irritated the dude, like, did he not? Probably

78
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.279
maybe the touch screens ordered in food
just he like he couldn't figure him out

79
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.000
there. They have pictures, they're
not that hard. Roger ever ordered food

80
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.519
at sheets you should never have.
But I stop at sheets nearly every day

81
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.680
coming to work. Okay, all
right, yeah, you know why because

82
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.279
you know they have all the stuff
right well for me. I look at

83
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.279
my options, and it seems the
safest. Oh, you fill my my

84
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.240
my, you know, because I
mean I sometimes they take my time there.

85
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.519
I'm gonna put some air my tires
or whatever. It gets cold in

86
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.600
the morning, you know, and
they hot in the afternoons. I gotta

87
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.480
keep an eye on that. And
it's just the better of my options.

88
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.040
And the food inside is great.
I love sheets. What about the handy

89
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:41.360
hugos on Capitol right there? I
hope not gonna go it's right, yeah,

90
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.680
And you know what, you might
if you go to that one,

91
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.839
you might be able to help.
Did you ever think of that? You

92
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.920
know how many people at that guy
at that grocery store run out of fuel

93
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.560
and have to walk there so you
can get like ten dollars the bust money

94
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.199
or something. Yeah. Yeah,
So like, you know, aren't you

95
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.399
filling hired? I don't you don't
want I don't understand what this what Biden

96
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.519
the idiot or spaghetti Brains or his
people were thinking, even stopping trying to

97
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.639
get a photo op or some audio
at a gas station. It's the dumbest

98
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.560
thing you could do. Well Trump
did it. Oh yeah, well Trump

99
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.759
can do it, but Chick fil
A and he got all the pub for

100
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.600
it. But gas prices are ridiculous, they've gone, they've skyrocketed again.

101
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.439
What are you doing going to a
gas station? Everybody that sees he was

102
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.199
gonna hate you there, right,
okay, So and this was I yes

103
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.679
you have now you have now wandered
to the esoteric. But the how people

104
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.759
receive it, whether uh it looks
like a forced conversation or not, it

105
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.600
makes people think of gas prices and
food to some extent. But yeah,

106
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.480
you know you should not be in
a retail situation period from an optics,

107
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.799
you know, they're well aware of
this. The stickers, what people were

108
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.480
putting in the pumps before, Like
I did that pointing at the gas price.

109
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.279
Wait you did it? You were
the one. No, No,

110
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:03.759
I'm not taking responsible now, yeah
I did all over the countries. Well,

111
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.679
I mean, I don't know what
you do with the after dude.

112
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.000
I assume you sad time with your
kids and you know, do stuff,

113
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.120
But I don't know. Maybe you're
flying, maybe you're jet sitting putting the

114
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.919
stickers. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was all but then

115
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.000
this and what is then this?
And the Trump trial insanity? Will package

116
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.279
deal it and have it for you
next on the KCO Day Radio program in

117
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.759
CaCO Day Radio program. All right, promised you a couple let's get into

118
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.559
uh this, let's do the sheets
thing first and then we'll pivot back to

119
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.120
the Trump trial because that may trickle
into the next segment. So uh yes,

120
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.639
it was just about a week ago
the President decided he was gonna roll

121
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:50.039
into a sheets do a little little
photo op. Okay, all right,

122
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.039
got it? And uh yeah,
I don't know it. I don't know

123
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.919
if it was panned. Might not
be the right word, I guess,

124
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.039
depending on what media looks cat.
But it didn't really have the staying power

125
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.559
that Trump going to that Chick fil
A where he is almost exclusively being high

126
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.480
five by potential black voters in Atlanta, which if you're the Democratic Party you

127
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:20.480
probably find that mildly disconcerting, but
or more so, you know, ramp

128
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.879
up the he's a racist machine.
But you know, Joe Biden rolled into

129
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.720
the sheets just like you do,
just like you. It's just like you

130
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.559
stops there, you know he takes
the train. Well, you don't really

131
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.919
have the train, but just grinding
it out. Man of the people stops

132
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:46.000
at the Sheets gets the coffee.
It's like the guys who stopped for the

133
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.240
coffee at the one near Greensboro flirts
with the one girl who works in there

134
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.200
and she's not having it. Sorry, I was stuck in line behind those

135
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.240
guys last time I was at the
Greensboro studio. I'm like, bro,

136
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.399
it's like five in the morning,
she's not interested and I need to pay

137
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.960
so but anyway, uh, you
know, normal stuff. And then it

138
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.919
gets incredibly unnormal because one week later
this Sheets is being sued over its hiring

139
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.919
practices. The US Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission filed the Okay, I want to

140
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.519
and this is very important because I
saw people going who's suing them? Listen

141
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:33.600
closely. The person suing them is
Joe Well, Joe's government. It's not

142
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.679
you know, it's not saying.
It's not John Edwards or some other you

143
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.399
know, private lawyers who thinks they
have an angle to shake down a big

144
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.039
company. It's the government. Sheets
is being sued over its hiring practices.

145
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.320
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed
the suit this morning. It claims that

146
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.440
the way Sheets bases employment on criminal
records it is proportionately screens out black,

147
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.799
Native American and other multi racial applicants, and that this violates federal law.

148
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.080
The suit does not accuse Sheets of
being motivated by race when making hiring decisions.

149
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.480
We have reached down to Sheets for
comment, but so far we have

150
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.720
not heard back. All right,
So anyway, that's you know, just

151
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.080
one of the news all right,
So this insanity, this is the disparate

152
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:31.919
impact crap or disparative or disparate where
basically just because something has a certain effect,

153
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:37.000
therefore must be racist. And they've
been peddling this garbage for years in

154
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:43.080
a ton of different varieties. And
just to be very clear, because the

155
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.519
way that it's worded by the Justice
Department and kind of by the reporting that

156
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.879
I saw is using it in there, you know, using it in their

157
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.919
hiring practices. Let's just be abundantly
clear of what Sheets is accused of doing,

158
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:03.240
because if you read the story,
you see it. So Sheets does

159
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:11.960
a background check and then if it's
something that A certainly doesn't hire the person.

160
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:22.440
Now we can we can decide to
have an opinion on whether that's you

161
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:28.440
know, having a fixed policy like
that is a good idea. There's obviously,

162
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.559
Yeah, I've talked about it on
this show. I think one of

163
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:39.559
the things that would be most helpful
or very helpful, is us being able

164
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:46.919
to better identify people who have been
quote unquote reformed, because that is the

165
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.799
stated goal of our justice system and
if they have and I look, this

166
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.120
is so complex, it's out there, but I know people, I know

167
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:01.120
some listeners who have sent me very
I think the emails. Well, we've

168
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.879
talked about this, said, hey, you know what, I was a

169
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.240
dumbass and I did this, and
I spent you know, three or four

170
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:13.200
years in jail and it's been you
know, it's been fifteen years since I

171
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.399
got out. It never committed another
crime, and there still struggles with them.

172
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.879
And I understand that I brought those
up myself. But maybe here's a

173
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.240
better way to do stuff. And
I think that that is a perfectly reasonable

174
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:30.720
decision or opinion too. Okay,
So with that in mind, I also

175
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:39.080
understand that sheets is like any other
business, especially when hiring's difficult, they're

176
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:46.200
going to have a standard and if
it if it felt too cumbersome, like

177
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.360
they weren't getting employees. I promise
you Sheets might reevaluate their standard. But

178
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.559
yeah, I suspect and I don't
know what Sheets pays or what benefits they

179
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.639
have, but I have to assume
in the world of working at a gas

180
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.799
station, shuldn't it probably better?
You know, Bucky's did their whole thing?

181
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.799
Is that? So this story?
We didn't get to the story on

182
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.559
Friday, and I didn't see it
until literally right at the end of the

183
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.360
show, and then I got distracted. One of the people who had initially

184
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.919
been selected for jury in the Trump
trial. They then had to go and

185
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:30.399
like retroactively removed dude because he had
literally been convicted of tearing down Republican post

186
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.480
It doesn't say whether it's Trump stuff
or not. But he was tearing down

187
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.639
Republican posters or postings, is what
it said. I don't know, maybe

188
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.639
he was tearing pictures down of hostages. How does that? How are you

189
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.919
in today's digital age? How does
that? How does a dude like that

190
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:58.240
get seated on a jury for the
former Republican president? I mean, yeah,

191
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.039
after they went and uh and took
it down, and I don't know

192
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.840
what the complication and not knowing about
that. Initially was but good lord man.

193
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.879
But now we're into the Uh,
we're into it, and uh there

194
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:19.879
is a weird possibility. So just
a refresher, This is Trump. This

195
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:26.519
is his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. Uh, this is Stormy Daniels,

196
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:41.559
porn star turned political hatchet or I
guess cudgel. Not her, but people

197
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.759
using her. Uh. And of
course, uh, you know folks like

198
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:52.159
David Pecker National National Inquirer. Uh, he's he's tied up in this.

199
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:59.080
You got Hope Hicks uh and uh, off we go. But there's one

200
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:04.519
other name on him. And again, this is Donald Trump or Michael Cohen

201
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:11.720
via Donald Trump, through Michael Cohen
or whatever. Prior or just as the

202
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:19.440
the twenty sixteen campaign season was kicking
off, struck a deal with Stormy Daniels

203
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:29.200
and a payment was made and NDAs
were applied. Okay, this is this

204
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.400
is not an unusual thing in the
world of politics. It's up to you

205
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.759
to decide whether from a moral perspective
it's okay. And then that also requires

206
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:45.119
you to believe, you know what
what what's going on here? And the

207
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.519
narrative that the media would tell you
is Donald Trump is you know, he

208
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:53.400
went out and he cheated on his
wife and with her and then who is

209
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:59.319
it the playmate of the year Karen
McDougall. I'm not gonna lie. I

210
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:06.559
you probably did. But that being
said, uh, that's that I don't

211
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.400
know that there's there's there's obviously issues
from you know, how he has to

212
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.160
deal with that in his personal life, whether it's true or the people around

213
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:18.799
him believe it's true. But never
been a crime. I could think of.

214
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.680
Nobody's alleging you know, uh,
coercion or assault or anything along those

215
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.880
lines, just merely that this was
his money was was paid, and of

216
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:37.160
course here we go. The other
version of this also includes a payment,

217
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:42.880
also includes money changing hands from Trump
or Michael Cohen two uh, Stormy Daniels.

218
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.759
However, it's it's got an interesting
little twist to it, and the

219
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:56.440
person peddling it is none other than
Michael Avenatti. Yeah, that dude.

220
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:02.200
CNN's Brian Stelter's picked to be Prez, who then is now serving you know,

221
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:07.720
a couple fifteen to twenty years or
something for a variety of crimes,

222
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:14.680
including tax stuff, trying to shake
down Nike. He was convicted of there

223
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.599
was. There's also a case that
he caught over his report because he was

224
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.880
a Stormy Daniels attorney. Remember right, he's the one who trotted her out.

225
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:27.039
And he was also accused of i
think stealing what three hundred thousand from

226
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:34.240
her or diverting book proceeds and then
taking it. It sounded like he was

227
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.119
he was way deep in it and
he needed money. So that's what he

228
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.799
did, and that's a crime,
and that's what he was convicted of.

229
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:48.000
However, according to Avianati, who
has been in contact with Trump's defense team,

230
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:57.039
he paints a different picture. Avinatti
claims that Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels

231
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:08.319
they were an item. Obviously they
met in the capacity of what is being

232
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:14.319
alleged here, but more specifically,
Avenati claims that the whole thing was a

233
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:23.160
set up. Yeah, specifically that
Cohen and Daniels, you know, because

234
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:30.279
Cohen Cohen was aware that there may
have been interaction there conspire to literally shake

235
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:37.799
down Trump, knowing that the dude
just launched a presidential campaign. If she

236
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:42.880
comes out, that's you know,
that's a hitch. And Cohen perhaps realizing

237
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:52.640
how this is now former employer,
did things right because he he Cohen is

238
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:59.839
said to have handled the McDougall NDA, so you know, he's looking up

239
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.440
with the foreign star. They decide, hey, we can get a quick

240
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.359
you know, some quick buck shot
of Trump. Let's do this, and

241
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.279
then here we are. So but
then I'm like, and this is why

242
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.359
I'm throwing this out to you,
because I'm curious what you think. Would

243
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:19.480
you trust for a moment anything that
that dude says? And I saw people

244
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.720
going, why would Michael lab and
Addie lie. I'll tell you why michaelab

245
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.000
Anaughtie would lie. Okay, look, I the idea that it is.

246
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:30.519
You know, Michael Cohen and Stormy
Daniels decided that they were going to shake

247
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:37.119
down a billionaire. It if that
would be an amazing twist if you could

248
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:38.960
prove it in some way, and
I don't know, maybe you can,

249
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:45.240
maybe you can't, because I don't
think people necessarily saw it from that perspective.

250
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.440
I think most people's position was,
so what if he did? I

251
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:55.119
why is that illegal? It's never
been illegal. And remember they're saying,

252
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.960
well, it's also tax stuff.
No, no, no, no.

253
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:03.519
What they're actually saying is the definition
of payment that was made didn't comport with

254
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.240
the way that they thought it should
be labeled. It's not that the payment

255
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.359
wasn't there, it's that they,
you know, they couched it as one

256
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:18.200
thing when in reality he was paying
off an X you know, somebody he

257
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.880
cheated on his wife with. And
to that, I would say, is

258
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.000
there a specific way the IRS requires
that to be classified? And maybe maybe

259
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:32.720
we'll find out and give me an
example of how everyone else who did this

260
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.240
and the way you prosecuted them.
I'll wait. But the idea that the

261
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.200
whole thing from the start was a
shakedown as bonkers. And the motivation for

262
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:47.480
Michael Avenatti that people aren't thinking about
is what I mentioned. The dude's doing

263
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.839
twenty fifteen, twenty years and it's
federal. I don't know if all of

264
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.359
it's federal, but the two big
ones are. They're federal crimes. Why

265
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.559
do what do you think would be
a motivation knowing what I just told you

266
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.960
as to why Michael Avenati might be
like, hey, I remember this thing.

267
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:11.480
I heard the guy who spent you
know, all his time on the

268
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:23.359
various MSNBC, CNN going after Trump
and I and so yeah, the idea

269
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.680
that Donald Trump could find himself of
the White House again, and you're a

270
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:33.799
guy sitting there with fifteen twenty years
to go on a federal sentence which doesn't

271
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.759
have the one for one, you
know, sentence reduction good time laws that

272
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:42.680
other states have. Figuring out a
way that you could get on Trump's good

273
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.920
side probably is in your best interest. We know the guy is Avenati will

274
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.880
say whatever he wants. So that's
where I kind of look at it,

275
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:57.079
go is this some sort of trap? Man? Is some sort of trap?

276
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.079
Put Avna up there and then they
k you know, then all of

277
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.319
a sudden they start going after Trump
for as uh per you know, promoting

278
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.319
perjury this morning perjury or so.
I don't know, man, I don't

279
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:14.480
trust any of these cats. So
what would you do if you're Trump?

280
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.599
If you've got Michae Lavanatis sitting there? And I understand we're not privy to

281
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:22.200
the totality of the evidence, but
you got this guy who was essentially you're

282
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:26.079
you know, he was the he
was the main bad guy for a while,

283
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.920
uh for your political opposition. He
was he was the face of evil

284
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.079
in your mind? Do you trust
anything this dude's saying? Do you dare

285
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.039
put him on there? Do you
do you float that idea. I'm gonna

286
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.519
I'll leave it to you eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four

287
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:48.319
And maybe he maybe there's some receipts
there that we don't know about. But

288
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:53.079
I saw that, and I was
immediately suspicious because for those two reasons.

289
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.519
One this every time I turned to
avenati On he was after Trump. And

290
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:03.799
then two, yeah, you got
Pedrol's present prison time. Probably good to

291
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.400
be on the good side of the
president. So please curious what you think

292
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.279
of that. Eight eight eight ninety
three four seven eight seven four let me

293
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.240
grab it. Well, that's weird. It was Holden and Inn the moment

294
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.599
I hit it, boom, there
you go. All right. Uh he

295
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.759
was gonna mention too, is uh
uh what I guess. I was gonna

296
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:29.599
kind of point out it seems pretty
diverse in the workforce over at sheets?

297
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:32.920
Would that ross? Would that be
your impression when you go to a sheets?

298
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.240
Right? Yeah, I was saying
the sheets I stop at in wake

299
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.559
Forest every morning. There's a small
little ginger dude. Okay, there's an

300
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.400
Indian girl, there's an Asian kid, probably like early twenties, and there's

301
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.799
a black dude. And then whoever's
back in the kitchen area too bright.

302
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.279
I've obviously never seen there. Yeah, but it's pretty damn diverse, right,

303
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:57.599
as is the one in green the
one betestation in Greensboro, and then

304
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:02.759
the especially the one over on Wendow. But like, if you'd have told

305
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.119
me this was a quote, I
don't believe it to be an issue.

306
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:07.720
By the way, I think that
this is this is garbage again. They

307
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.759
even saying the thing. They're like, no, we don't think they did

308
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:15.240
it for racial reasons. Okay,
then we're done here, right, And

309
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.920
they put the numbers out, and
then I saw idiots who can't figure it.

310
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.400
You can't read in the story.
In the filing, it says that

311
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.519
of the applicants, and they break
it down by race. They show the

312
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:33.519
percentage who failed criminal background checks of
total applicants, and for white applicants it's

313
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.359
about eight and a half percent,
and for black applicants, I think it

314
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:38.960
was fourteen percent. I don't have
that part in front of me. But

315
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:45.960
and then, which is a very
misleading number when you headline a story that

316
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:51.880
it's having a disproportionate impact, that's
that is of the percentage who applied.

317
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.680
Okay, let me I know it's
Monday morning and it's math. But help

318
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:02.440
me out here, okay, or
hear me out here. So that is

319
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:07.880
totally outside of the control of sheets. You all understand this. Let's say

320
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.559
that let's say I had one hundred
Rosses and five of them are murderers.

321
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.279
Okay, Ross, five versions of
in the multiverse. Okay, we're doing

322
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.559
the multiverse because that's what you do
now. And five versions of Ross are

323
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.559
horrible, horrible murderers out of one
hundred. That ain't bad. No,

324
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.720
I thought that's pretty respectful. So
yeah, yeah, yeah. However,

325
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:32.519
then you have who should we pick
on who's going to be the uh,

326
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.200
the person with more murderers Kyle in
news, Yes, Kyle, all right,

327
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.640
So then we have one hundred kyles
and ten Kyles are murderers out of

328
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:52.160
every hundred. If one hundred,
if one hundred Rosses apply and only fifty

329
00:27:52.279 --> 00:28:00.680
Kyles apply, you realize it would
be the same percentage of right, if

330
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:06.519
it was evenly sorted there, like
if you got now, if five fell

331
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:10.440
into the fifty, so then you
would have the same number. But if

332
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:15.200
all hundred Rosses and all one hundred
Kyles apply, now kyles are twice as

333
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:25.519
likely to be denied employment by Sheets
based on their criminal background checks? How

334
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.720
is that Sheets fault if they have
a standard that's applied to all two hundred

335
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:34.079
of the people I just talked about, and Sheets's goal is to weed out

336
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:44.880
those fifteen bad people. So,
like, the whole explanation for the thing

337
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:52.240
is garbage. Sheets. Sheets can't
control who applies. They have no control

338
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:55.279
over who's going to walk in and
go I need an application. I suppose

339
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:59.400
you do it online. I don't
know, but that's totally out of their

340
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.519
control. Man, And now we're
going to do this thing. Just absolute

341
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:10.119
absurdity. I'm gonna hate it if
Sheets capitulates on this. But we will

342
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:11.880
see, all right, As I
said, everything stupid this morning, but

343
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:18.799
it's about to get even dumber.
Hang on CaCO Day Radio program, Stick

344
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.680
around KCO Day Radio program, Our
number two. I went, I was

345
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:27.680
trying to find a picture of this
lottery ticket because it wasn't in the initial

346
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.079
story, and I did find another
story, and actually I just I want

347
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:42.039
to correct something here because it's actually
worse. Somehow, the way that this

348
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:51.400
initial story is worded led me to
conclusion that it was a numbers pick.

349
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:57.359
No no, no, they took
a they taped a scrap, one of

350
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:02.160
the big scraps. It's a fifty
dollar ticket, fifty dollars scratch off.

351
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.759
What they did is they had a
winner for you know when you do a

352
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:12.400
scratch off and it's like your numbers
eight, and then when you start scratching,

353
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.640
it's like, if your number had
been eleven, you would one,

354
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.480
you'd win a million dollars. But
of course, you know you your number

355
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:23.720
was never going to be eleven.
So what they did is they taped different

356
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:30.519
bonus numbers on the bottom or numbers. So the bottom has these five numbers

357
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.960
are your numbers, and then above
it it has you know whatever, well

358
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:40.359
you don't however, many spots,
and they taped it backwards in one part

359
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:45.240
of it. I I don't know
how you leave that out of this this

360
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.400
short story here, because that's even
worse. I thought they were trying to

361
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:55.599
job a quick pick. But here's
the thing. They also know eight.

362
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:02.920
So there's that's not gonna work,
especially when you tape your tickets. So

363
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.160
just just just Florida, you never
disappoint, really appreciate it this morning.

364
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:17.880
Okay, all right, wonderful set
up to New York Columbia University, Yale

365
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.920
in New Jersey, right, No, No, Princeton's where Yale's Connecticut.

366
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:29.480
Conflate those two. Sometimes it's very
hard me having to choose between all of

367
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:33.599
those and then not going to any
of the Ivy League, so you know,

368
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.240
they have their thing going on.
But Columbia was lit man, so

369
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:44.200
it turned into like an Antifa occupy
thing. Any student quote and including one

370
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:48.799
student who was described as quote coming
to campus looking too Jewish? How do

371
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:55.119
you look too Jewish? Just probably
you know what, I probably don't want

372
00:31:55.119 --> 00:32:00.720
to hear the internet's answer on that, but like I did see the video

373
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:07.000
of somebody who is a Hasidic Jew, right, that's you know, that's

374
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.319
easy to pick out of a lineup
because of the clothing and the hairstyle and

375
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.599
all of that. But in the
case of the other student, I saw

376
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.240
the picture and I'm like, yeah, maybe if you ask me, like,

377
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:24.640
is that guy look or sound a
little Jewish? I don't know I

378
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:29.039
could do from a looks perspective,
but you know, you tell me your

379
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.079
name, all of that. I
don't know. I may think that,

380
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:37.240
but the whole thing was just just
crazy. And then as darkness fell it

381
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:44.440
got violet. Man, it got
bad. You had you had a woman

382
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:49.319
who had a used a flag.
So they get the flags and then you

383
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.359
use them as a stick in a
sticking motion. This is what happened to

384
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:58.440
Andy. No, not when they
concreted his head, but in another instance.

385
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.799
So what they'll do is a flag
and they're like, I have a

386
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.920
flag. I'm okay to have a
flag. And then they really it's the

387
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.799
it's not about the flag, it's
about the stick. And they waxed this

388
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.640
chick. They whacked this chick in
the face for having the audacity of just

389
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:17.759
wanting to move from campus where she
lives to not on campus and vice versa.

390
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:24.160
The audacity. So while that's going
on and the you know, the

391
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:30.599
the chance dude, there is something
about a trust fund chick. And it

392
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:32.279
wasn't just women, but there was
there was a video I saw with these

393
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.400
three women who were on a they
had left campus or on a subway,

394
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:45.200
and they filmed the video and it's
like, you know, a trust fund

395
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.200
ninety I think ninety thousand a year
is tuition there at the University Columbia.

396
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:52.240
And Bernard Barnard or I don't even
know how to pronounce it, but I

397
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:58.519
also don't care. So you know, there's that you know, talking about

398
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:08.519
how you know Hamas make us proud
kill another soldier now right, you're you're

399
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:13.079
some rich chick who grew up in
Governor's Club, and now you're up at

400
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.960
Columbus. I'm just using an example, but you know, to give you

401
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:22.320
the idea of what we're talking about
here, and you're standing now at on

402
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:27.280
your university campus and then in and
around New York channing Hamas make us proud

403
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:35.280
kill another soldier. Now, free
all of our prisoners. You're not members

404
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:39.719
of Hamas, by the way,
Free all of our prisoners. You are

405
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:47.719
among some of the most fortunate people
on this earth. And once you grow

406
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:52.119
out of this, you'll probably decide
you want to, I don't know,

407
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:57.679
get married, settle down, probably
act normal, and frankly, I think

408
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:01.039
this is the kind of stuff that
needs to follow people around. Man elon

409
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:06.679
Omar's daughter was among the one hundred
or so that were x or arrested and

410
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.280
then exited from campus. Now she
doesn't go to Columbia, but she goes

411
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:16.159
to Barnard or Bernard or whatever.
And they are you know, they're associated

412
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:22.039
schools. So, and then she
spent the rest of the weekend. I

413
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:29.519
kid you, not bitching that she's
broke, has nowhere to eat, and

414
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:37.039
is homeless. Elon Omar's daughter not
just a member of Congress, but a

415
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:46.599
Democratic member of Congress, okay in
New York City, and a high profile

416
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:52.079
Democrat member of Congress. For I
guess if you like her for obvious reasons,

417
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.119
and if you don't like her for
obvious reasons, but not somebody that

418
00:35:55.199 --> 00:36:02.199
nobody's ever heard of is not homeless
and going hungry in New York City?

419
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.079
Can we can we all just can
we start from that point that there's no

420
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:14.400
way this is possible? Do you
do you understand the sheer number of people,

421
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.639
the sheer number of people who are
in the periphery who not just donated

422
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:27.400
to her mom's campaign and other squad
member AOC is there, go go bunk

423
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:32.880
at your your you know, your
auntie auntie AOC's house. It's just it's

424
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:39.760
so absurd in the amount of theater. If I will say this, the

425
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:46.079
the fake crisis and theater aspect of
all of this is they're very good at

426
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:51.880
it, and Hamas is very good
at it. Right where they're just like,

427
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.239
ah, look at all these dead
kids that look like we just poured

428
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:59.840
flower over them, and that one's
still moving. Here's a video and then

429
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:01.519
he runs with it. Oh my
gosh, that what they're doing, all

430
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:07.440
the dead kids. It's and so
you know, she's right. If I

431
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:13.000
got no food, all my dining
pass was revoked. I've been kicked off

432
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.599
the campus of the university where we
pay ninety thousand per year for me to

433
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:27.679
go. She just wandering the streets. Shut up. But he's out of

434
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:34.079
their damn mine, man, what
is this alright? That wasn't there wasn't

435
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:37.280
a challenge. I just thought it
was very weird phrasing in one of these

436
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:43.159
stories here. Eventually police clearing one
hundred overnight. The same thing happened at

437
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:50.440
Yale. Yeah, that's right,
they went hats and bats. Police storm

438
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:55.320
Yale University's campus with riot gear as
hundreds of student stage anti Israel protests.

439
00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:01.679
Are what are universities going to do? I mean, and I'm asking because

440
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:05.840
you're thinking, well, it's Columbia. That's no. We got our fairy

441
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.119
I know you know this. We
got our share of lunatics around here,

442
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:15.599
and I got bad news from the
organizing organization for these two failed protests.

443
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.000
I guess maybe they don't see him
as failed, But you just got night

444
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:25.079
sticked off the campus, So I'd
say that's an l for now. That

445
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:30.760
organization says they got big plans,
and those big plans maybe right here in

446
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.199
our backyard. I'll give you the
details coming up next here on the CaCO

447
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:44.679
Day radio program. I am surprised
to see some of the folks who are

448
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:50.440
critical of the the what happened up
in Washington with the pedo dude at the

449
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:55.679
Holiday Inn. But I'll share some
of the arguments there and we'll see what

450
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.840
you think. But first this,
The Yankee fans are not happy with the

451
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:07.440
Yankees, and I don't know if
you've ever seen Yankee Twitter, they can

452
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:13.119
be a little bipolarish. But I
think this one, I think this one's

453
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:15.719
okay. I have a problem with
So if you don't know, the Yankees

454
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:25.679
played by play guy John Sterling.
He announced his retirement last week, which

455
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:30.599
is weird because obviously the season is
about five minutes old and if you were

456
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:38.320
planning on retiring, But he offered
an explanation. He said, I want

457
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:42.440
to do this for a long time. I've should have done it March first,

458
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.239
all during the winter I was living. I lived the greatest life.

459
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:50.920
I rude the beginning of the season, I should have quit then, basically

460
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.960
saying he's just tired of the grind, and you know what he's put in

461
00:39:53.000 --> 00:40:01.239
his time. Sterling has spent thirty
I looked up thirty six years. Thirty

462
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:06.360
six years, and the guy's actually
been doing broadcasting since nineteen sixty. Okay,

463
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:09.599
but he's stuck around. That's obviously
a good gig. When you get

464
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:14.880
a long and storied tradition of guys
working well past sixty five and in the

465
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:19.760
broadcast booth of sports, that's fine. If you're doing it, you're doing

466
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:23.079
it. And I depending on which
sports teams you've rooted for over the years,

467
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:29.519
some people they just can't they can't
fathom watching their sport without that voice,

468
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:31.280
because it may be the only thing
they ever know, ever knew.

469
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.320
That's how twins were for the first
about you know, ninety percent of my

470
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:44.199
life. Of course, Scully in
Chicago and I'm sorry in Los Angeles,

471
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:51.639
who retired what like a year ago
or and then he yeah, you retire.

472
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:53.239
I don't know if he passed away. I have a horrible habit of

473
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:57.679
thinking people are dead on the show
when they aren't. But don't mind,

474
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:05.800
I understand that and get a close
connection. So on Saturday, the Yankees,

475
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:10.519
ahead of the game, decided they
were going to honor their longtime announcer

476
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:16.880
and uh, they brought him out
on field, thanked him for his years

477
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:21.920
of service, and then proceeded to
give him an eighty three inch TV,

478
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:27.480
and fans are roasting the team.
Look an eighty three inch TV. Don't

479
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:30.639
get me wrong, that's an awesome
gift. Ross, My birthday's coming up.

480
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:37.920
But some people pointed out, you're
the richest team in baseball. This

481
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:43.000
dude's worked for you for thirty six
years. This is a high profile.

482
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.880
You're on this big stage, and
you gave him something that may or may

483
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:50.400
not have been sitting around his storage
room at the at the stadium. That's

484
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.800
like if I can't if it's Ross's
birthday and I roll in, Hey,

485
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:57.280
Ross, I got you an R
twenty electro voice. I know you always

486
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:01.360
wanted one of that'd be actually pretty
amazing. Yeah, awesome, Yeah,

487
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:07.599
that's uh, that's great. Yes, there's dust on it, don't worry

488
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:09.480
about that. That's fine. That's
uh, that's the microphones we used to

489
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:16.800
broadcast. I'm making my point that
that's kind of how it came across.

490
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:22.159
And so Yankees fans are roasting the
franchise, like you better get him something

491
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:28.159
different. The thing is, though, maybe they did, right. I

492
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:30.159
don't know if they were like,
hey, what do you want? He's

493
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:31.239
like, I want a big TV. Yeah, well, and that was

494
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.719
another option, all right, something, but you could. The whole gist

495
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:42.360
of the thing was like, now
you it'll be like you're there staring out

496
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.079
on the field because of the size
of the TV. That was kind of

497
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:50.280
the joke there. But also the
Yankees have a sponsorship agreement with the manufacturer

498
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:53.119
of the TV, so it's like, did you I mean, maybe they

499
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:58.239
did not give them enough notice.
That's clear we didn't. I agree.

500
00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:00.320
I agree. I'd be a little
cheese as a fan too, but I'd

501
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:04.559
understand the guys put in his time. You know, my mom is losing

502
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:07.119
it. She she loves John Sterling. She hates Michael Kay. So like

503
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:12.480
when she watches the Michael Kay's the
TV announcer and he's also radio guy,

504
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.960
but she can't stand him and she
hates his voice and everything. So like

505
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.360
when she watches the Yankees game,
she she mutes the TV and turns up

506
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:23.079
the radio broadcast. It's like it's
a part of the routine. Well,

507
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:27.320
I mean, you've worked in radio
long enough. I don't know if you've

508
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.880
worked at stations that had major affiliates. But for radio, we used to

509
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:36.400
sync with the TV intentional. My
first paying radio job was running the Yankee

510
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:39.519
game for the country station Okay in
Albany, and it was John Sterling.

511
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:43.280
Well, no, no, no, But what I'm telling you is so

512
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:46.440
we used to because Paul Allen is
the Vikings guy, and he's pretty well

513
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:50.320
known. I think he was our
He was an afternoon host on the sports

514
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:55.239
station or I guess late morning,
sorry now, and and people enjoyed listening

515
00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:00.280
to him versus the TV guys.
So we would literally but when the when

516
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:07.159
the Vikings game started, whoever was
running the board there had to go on

517
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:14.519
the TV and sink the delay so
that that that Paul's voice on the radio

518
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:19.760
syncd up with the TV. You
get what I'm saying, And and and

519
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:22.400
so we could get people over there. And I actually feel for this guy

520
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:27.960
that your mom loves, because nobody
wants to be the dude after the thirty

521
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:30.800
five year dude. I love this
story, not for the fact that this

522
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:36.159
young man had to deal with this
insanity, but I do love the way

523
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:39.360
that he dealt with it. So, uh, here we go. Let

524
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:43.880
me introduce you to an eleven year
old boy. His name is Braden Smith,

525
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:50.239
and he's just chilling around the house
doing what you know eleven year olds

526
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:54.719
do. And all of a sudden, he's got himself a visitor. And

527
00:44:54.760 --> 00:45:00.000
that visitor is not there selling cookies
or trying to get out the vote.

528
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:06.440
No, no, no, he
is allegedly there for much more nefarious reasons

529
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:12.239
and chooses to deal with the kid
in an interesting way I suppose. And

530
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:17.199
by the way, the alleged intruder
I believe is nineteen, Yeah, nineteen,

531
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:22.679
Jatavian Hall is his name, so
he got the Braden Smith's the eleven

532
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:27.280
year old. Nineteen year old is
Jatavian Hall, who decided he was,

533
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:31.400
I don't know, going to rob
the place and figured he could just verbally

534
00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:36.679
threaten the eleven year old and do
getting out of his way so he can

535
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:39.639
get to louton. But he didn't
go that way. Let's head to the

536
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:45.599
news report and this is deeply satisfying. Is the closet? A home intruder

537
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:49.480
told eleven year old Braden Smith to
sit in while he stole items from the

538
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:53.400
boys home Friday morning. Braden had
a different plan. He turned his back

539
00:45:53.639 --> 00:46:00.079
and I went to Grandma machete and
I went into the living him in the

540
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.760
back of the head. By the
way, does an eleven year old get

541
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:08.880
a pass for the incorrect pronunciation of
the machete? Considering that movie is probably

542
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.639
more than eleven years old. I
was gonna say, he sounds pretty uncultured,

543
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:14.599
but I think we can let it
slide. All right, We're gonna

544
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:16.000
let it slide. So, Plus, he's got a machete, and I

545
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:20.679
don't want to, you know,
make him mad, so all hat So

546
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.679
he told you to go sit in
the closet while he steals all your your

547
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:29.239
family's stuff. He went a different
route. Continues. On Monday, we

548
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:34.480
learned Jatavian Hall left DNA evidence behind
when he took off after getting hit in

549
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:38.400
the head with a machete. Paul
gave simple there's no excuse for this woman

550
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:40.679
though, No, that's awful,
Yeah, what are you doing? And

551
00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:45.440
polite answers in Orange County Courtroom,
where judge raised his bond to one hundred

552
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:50.960
and seventy five thousand dollars. Monday
at the Alamance County Courthouse, I learned

553
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:55.360
Hall was charged after yelling inappropriate things
at officers in twenty sixteen. A year

554
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:59.800
later, he was accused of taking
money from someone he set up to meet

555
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:04.360
to sell a gaming console. That
victim told me he was disappointed to learn

556
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:09.920
Holl hadn't learned his lesson. I
have to protect the house because I knew

557
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.760
if I didn't protect the house he
could he would probably take like everything.

558
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:20.719
Braden hopes he's figured it out this
time. I just really don't think that

559
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:24.320
you should break into other people's houses. I mean, you can earn money

560
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:29.239
by getting a job instead. How
based is this kid? By the way,

561
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:35.000
I love it. I love it. That's right, young man.

562
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.480
It's right. You can get money
other ways instead of robbing you or robbing

563
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:42.760
some guy off Craig's list over a
game boy, which, by the way,

564
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.639
a game boy, I guess maybe
they mean the new one that's all

565
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:49.760
loaded, not the old one.
Yes, you can do that, and

566
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:55.280
you can get a job. And
ironically, this little sound piece of logic.

567
00:47:55.400 --> 00:48:00.559
There are a crap ton of lawmakers
and activists who would literally put on

568
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:05.559
this kid breaking into people's houses and
selling their stuff. Police arrested Hall in

569
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:08.960
Burlington on Sunday after he walked out
of the emergency department and that you wouldn't

570
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:14.320
see hospital wearing a gown Friday night. By the way, I don't know

571
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:19.440
if you know this. If you're
walking around in prisoner gear right into a

572
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:24.199
hospital gown, people are gonna you're
not gonna go unnoticed. So I'm not

573
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:30.280
surprised by that. This guy sounds
like an absolute criminal genius. But uh

574
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:31.760
yeah, all right, good on
you, young man. Whacking him in

575
00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:34.840
the head with a machete. Then
I thought, people like, wait,

576
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.320
everyone's his parents. He's only eleven. I don't know. Sounds like he

577
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:45.440
can handle himself, right, I'm
sorry your eleven year old's drooling moron because

578
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:51.239
you've coddled him so much. This
kid's family's like, oh, all right,

579
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:55.679
if somebody shows up, Jason Voorhee's
him, all right, we'll see

580
00:48:55.719 --> 00:49:00.360
you later. Son. The kid
owns a machete. Obviously, he's spent

581
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.199
time in the jungle, and he
knows how to survive by himself. It's

582
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:06.360
clear, I mean, educate yourself. These people sound dumb. No,

583
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:15.320
I mean, but everybody's got to
take right, everybody's got to take and

584
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:21.400
this this guy's just trolling. But
he's like dah, kind of doubles down

585
00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.679
and was reading one com and he's
like, you know at that point,

586
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:30.679
if he's not physically assaulting you,
he struck first, and it's just like,

587
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:32.880
you know what, sir, I
hope that twenty people break into your

588
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:36.760
house and lock you in a closet
and steelers. I don't want to physically

589
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:42.239
harm you, but get off social
media please, So that would be my

590
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:49.559
response to that. So congratulations there. I hope he still has his machete,

591
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:55.079
but I suspect it's probably an evidence
so being another one. And I

592
00:49:55.079 --> 00:50:00.480
would like to point out too,
when we were doing the the UH Toy

593
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:07.159
Drive, right the Toy Drive before
Christmas, where we were out in front

594
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:15.360
of the Walmart in Apex, no
carry carry for like three days I was

595
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:20.280
we people would people would come in
and donate toys, but occasionally people would

596
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:23.000
be like can I just give some
money? And then one of us radio

597
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:29.400
people from the different stations we'd go
inside and buy toys and uh, I

598
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:30.519
didn't. I didn't go in and
do it. And I went in with

599
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:37.760
a couple of the like our promotionscal
and one of the afternoon Chick Radio Chick

600
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.480
from one of the other stations,
and they all, you know they got

601
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:43.239
kids. Well one of them has
kids, and she's like, this is

602
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:45.519
what my kids like. This is
like this and like the isle away from

603
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.679
the toys, they have six dollars
machetes. And I'm like, look,

604
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.679
I'm gonna be I'm gonna be honest
with you. If I was a kid

605
00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:58.880
this and fishing poles signed me up. And they're like no, But in

606
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:01.840
reality, I could help save lives
if I wouldn't have folded to peer pressure

607
00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:06.559
by getting these kids. Now,
he should have went with your gut there,

608
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:08.719
that's what I'm saying. Yeah,
I folded. I shouldn't have folded.

609
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:14.519
I I felt strongly that you know
what happens if one of these kids

610
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:17.039
is getting a toy donation is home
alone in a burglar breaks. Do you

611
00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:20.000
want him to be armed or do
you want him to be armed with a

612
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:23.599
speaking say exactly? I would say
one of the one of my best Christmas

613
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:25.840
memories when I think about like what
you know, you think about like great

614
00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:30.239
Christmases you've had. It was a
year my dad just like got stuff.

615
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:30.920
I told you, He's like,
what do you want for Christmas? I

616
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:32.639
wanted? I was like, I
want this, this, this, and

617
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:37.480
this from the Army surplus store.
Okay, it was all on the tree

618
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:39.480
and it was amazing. Yeah,
buddy, I was like, you can

619
00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:44.440
you can play g I Joe or
you could be g I Joe. I

620
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:46.960
mean, when you're a kid,
the one thing sounds better, But then

621
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:52.599
when you're old, you're like,
then let's do the other thing. We'll

622
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:54.800
watch you. You say, all
that run around the woods. But no,

623
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:59.719
when you're a kid, man,
you get exactly what you want.

624
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:04.639
That's uh, that's a because that
doesn't happen all the time, right,

625
00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:07.119
in some cases doesn't happen at all, but you know how to get at

626
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:12.920
all. Then that that usually makes
for the greatest gift. So yours was

627
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:16.039
full commando, your full rambo thing. And this kid had a machete and

628
00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:20.800
I had a gas mask under my
bed ready for right, I'm ready.

629
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:23.599
Yeah, who's laughing now? Not
you? Because you're you're you can't breathe

630
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:29.000
because serenas. Uhha, Ross can
breathe what I'm sorry? Did I take

631
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:34.679
that to a little too farther.
I'm not wrong. I'm trying to think

632
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:37.679
what was my greatest What would you
say your greatest? Would you say that

633
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.280
was the best gift you ever got
when you were a kid? Nineteen eighty

634
00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:43.239
five Nintendo Entertainment. I knew it
exactly what it was going to be.

635
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:45.840
Now, technically mine, the Nintendo
that we got was bought for all the

636
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:50.119
kids, so I can't count that. I still remember the pajamas I was

637
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:55.719
wearing that morning on Christmas Day.
It was Max headroom pajamas. I think

638
00:52:55.760 --> 00:53:00.000
my best, my best I think
my best gift is a younger kid.

639
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:07.679
It was a Marlin twenty two.
It was my first gun. I murdered

640
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:12.360
everything, not really stuff that was
alive, although obviously I did a chuts

641
00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:14.760
of parade dogs with it. Although
you kind of need something a little bigger,

642
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:20.239
but I must have. I must
have put ten thousand rounds through that

643
00:53:20.320 --> 00:53:24.480
thing in like the first week.
It was crazy. My mom would be

644
00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:30.079
like, could you stop shooting everything? And I'm like, I'm gonna go

645
00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:32.840
a little further into the woods.
You can you hear me, and that

646
00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:37.320
was that was great, and I
do I can remember every element of it.

647
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:39.400
It's just weird what sticks to you, like the whole process. I

648
00:53:39.440 --> 00:53:47.679
remember Christmas, Christmas and it's it's
freaking cold and anything and everything. We

649
00:53:47.719 --> 00:53:52.960
were just shooting. Oh, it
was the best, all right. I

650
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:59.480
never did get a machete. Machete
for Christmas though, so but firearms work

651
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:02.199
as well. So kudos to you, young man for handling your business.

652
00:54:02.199 --> 00:54:06.679
All right, raced agic, he's
here to handle weather business. Some eleven

653
00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:08.239
year old kid, dude breaks into
his house, tells him to get in

654
00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:12.719
the closet because he's robbing them.
Kid goes, grabs machete and hits the

655
00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:17.239
dude in the head. Huh good
for him, Yeah that's what i'd say.

656
00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:20.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, that one dudes in jail,

657
00:54:20.599 --> 00:54:25.039
other kids. Uh you know,
this kid's just living living the uh celeb

658
00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:30.719
life now. So good. Yeah
yeah, machete right, So you got

659
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:35.960
some playing to do, mister.
He got Trump rally, got the Trump

660
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:40.280
Rally got canceled out of Wilmington.
So I people I saw were disappointed.

661
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:45.679
And I was seeing some some video
from down around Charlotte area and uh,

662
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:50.400
they got you got whacked down there, man, So what's up? Yeah?

663
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:53.559
The hell? Yeah, yeah,
yep, pretty close. I don't

664
00:54:53.599 --> 00:54:58.679
know if I have confirmed. I
don't know if we confirmed some of the

665
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:02.000
largest hell we've seen in this state
on record. But there was some big

666
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:06.840
hill South Carolina. It was rocky
yeah right, yeah, yeah yeah,

667
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:10.079
in the rock Hill area. Close
enough right for the work I do.

668
00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:15.239
But we'll cut right through this cloud
that's around this morning. There's no rain

669
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:21.480
of any appreciable amount over the next
seven days. If I look out ahead,

670
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:23.840
just these kind of chilly mornings coming
up, will get milder briefly,

671
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:29.679
then will cool off again. Today
unseasonably cool with the clouds breaking already break

672
00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:34.400
into the west of Lewisville, Statesville
and Shelby and west end of the mountains,

673
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:37.800
so getting into the tryhead the clearing
pretty soon triangle coming up in the

674
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:42.119
next couple hours. Most of us
will be mostly sunny this afternoon near sixty

675
00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:45.000
or just above tonight, another night
in the upper thirties to near forty low

676
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:49.519
seventies Tomorrow, mostly sunny or in
the fifties. Tomorrow night could be a

677
00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:53.880
sprinkle of rain with the next front
coming in sometime Wednesday, mostly sunny to

678
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:59.519
partly cloudy, the otherwise low seventies. Thursday, upper sixties, near seventy,

679
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:02.360
then back in the little bit forties
for Friday morning, and then sunny,

680
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:05.920
low seventies in the afterdo on the
weekend. Looks like we'll start warming

681
00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:08.880
up once again. But pretty pretty
tranquil week. I mean pretty quiet.

682
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:13.880
It turns of precipt no storms expected, a big area of high pressure.

683
00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:15.920
Temperatures just gonna go up and down. I don't see anything's going to cancel

684
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:20.639
the outdoor plans. Kids have ball
games the next few evenings. After that

685
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:23.599
sun sets, I'll get chili pretty
quick, so I would certainly grab grab

686
00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:29.599
jacket. Temperatures for the most part
at or slightly below normal, especially today,

687
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:31.840
but for most of the week before
we warm up, get back close

688
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:35.960
to eighty by the end of the
weekend. Alrighty, thank you sir.

689
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:38.400
We're talking an hour. I appreciate
it. Coming up. Look at this.

690
00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:45.880
Oh yeah, I gotta I gotta
explain what these violent anti Semitic protesters

691
00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:51.239
have planned for next. So we'll
fill you in there. And yeah,

692
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:59.199
we have to talk about human torch
there and holy crap, we'll get into

693
00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:01.800
it coming up. CODA Radio program. Read this a couple of times.

694
00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:05.840
It's sounded more aggressive initially, and
I thought someone was being but hurt.

695
00:57:05.840 --> 00:57:09.480
But I think it's a fair opinion. So I'll just give you the gist

696
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:14.840
of this email. It's from a
listener who listens as some of you do

697
00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:20.679
with your kids. We appreciate that
we'll get them nice and corrupted for you.

698
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:27.400
Scared of Florida. So anyway,
you know, basically, the emailer

699
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:30.199
says, I'm glad the kid's okay, but this could have gone horrible.

700
00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:36.880
I think somebody tweeted that too,
something similar, but takes issue with you

701
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:39.639
know, you guys sitting here and
talking about what a great thing it is.

702
00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:46.440
You know, I don't want encourage
kids to attack a burglar. No

703
00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:50.920
I I you know what, that's
fine, that's a that's a fair opinion.

704
00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:54.039
I mean there is the the post, you know, Hindsight's twenty twenty

705
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:59.760
angle on this too. And there's
the other thing too. Maybe when the

706
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.079
die, because we're speculating here,
maybe when the guy got done rob in

707
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:06.519
the place, he comes in and
you know, gets rid of the witness

708
00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:13.079
or something. So there's you know
it's not. You don't know exactly how

709
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:15.480
this was gonna go. We only
know how it went. But anyway,

710
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:19.599
all right, fair enough, I
got that out there, But I too

711
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:23.920
can I can what if as well? We're pretty darn good at it around

712
00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:31.840
these parts. So yeah, let's
go ahead and get into where we may

713
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:37.719
next be dealing with bucket load a
campus crazies. And the answer is at

714
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:46.159
a school near you. That's right. The the organizing body for I guess

715
00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:52.840
one of the organizing bodies for the
protests up there in Columbia and Yell is

716
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:58.559
the Palestinian Students Alliance whatever. Who
cares what the group is. I don't

717
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:01.480
need the PUB. But they did
say that they're taking this show on the

718
00:59:01.559 --> 00:59:07.840
road, baby, And they say
that college campuses all throughout the United States

719
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:12.800
and and really across the world.
I think that you're in the UK and

720
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:16.280
others have a partner organization. Uh, they are going to be setting up

721
00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:23.599
these occupation cities until their demands are
met. So I feel like we're not

722
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:27.960
gonna we're not gonna slip this news. It's gonna happen around here. I

723
00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:37.280
just probably won't happen at State.
Probably what do you think probably probably Carolina

724
00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:43.960
baby Duke. Duke tends to clear
things a little quicker than Carolina does,

725
00:59:44.760 --> 00:59:49.280
so I don't know, but that's
got to be just nightmare fuel if you

726
00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.920
are in fact a university official right
now. I guess the only upside is

727
00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:59.639
I kind of feel within the un
C system that there is, at least

728
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:06.519
from a a leadership standpoint, there's
less appetite for this garbage. But I

729
01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:12.880
don't know, so I'll be curious
to see what universities do. I mean,

730
01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:16.480
this is disitely ann escalate. Until
you do something, people are like,

731
01:00:16.519 --> 01:00:20.639
well, it's pre speech, it's
all this. Now they've incorporated all

732
01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:24.480
the worst tactics there is. There
is an occasional assault in some of these

733
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:30.519
instances at the very you know,
they'll go and they'll they'll have twenty kids

734
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:35.920
that will literally surround somebody, and
when that person tries to walk away,

735
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:38.599
if they if they make any physical
contact, the people start screaming and go,

736
01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:40.480
oh you push your nuts. You're
trying to it, And it's like

737
01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:45.159
they know what the tactics are.
Somebody's filming. They come over and start

738
01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:49.800
spinning the umbrellas right off the old
Antifa playlist. I want to block traffic,

739
01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:52.960
want to cut gates open, want
to do all of this stuff.

740
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:57.679
Absolutely willing to do it. It's
it's worth you know, the cause is

741
01:00:57.719 --> 01:01:01.800
worth it, dude. When you
when you're a fundamentalist idiot, which is

742
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:05.760
what you're dealing with here. You're
dealing with people that you know, want

743
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:08.760
to be a fundamentalist on something,
but they're dumb and instead of choosing something

744
01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:15.000
more productive with their life, this
is what they've decided. Because it also

745
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:17.719
has the you know, it's got
that woke factor in the hey look at

746
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:24.239
me, Look how amazing I am. And most of these people in ten

747
01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:28.840
years will be worried about whether they're
going to be making their country club dues

748
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:36.400
or you know or not. Maybe
probably not since you probably have a pretty

749
01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:40.840
good source of trust funds to go
on. But for now they're absolutely insane.

750
01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:51.920
So David Spade is coming to North
Carolina on the Joe Dirt Country actually

751
01:01:52.039 --> 01:01:59.960
going everywhere else. Greensboro, he'll
be a tanger, Wilmington, Pritsbury,

752
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:06.119
Small on this at KFE, You're
community college that they're performing Arts Center,

753
01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:14.320
uh and Ashville the Joe Dirt Country
Bus tour. So yeah, I don't

754
01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:17.079
know. I've seen David Spade do
stand up before live, you know,

755
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:22.239
just as David Spade, So but
I didn't know does he have does he

756
01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:30.400
have a bit where that was that
was a character that obviously is now him

757
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:37.440
but before. Yeah, so you
know, all sorts of weirdness now with

758
01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:42.280
this uh processor unit as well.
Anyway, So yeah, I don't I

759
01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:47.000
don't know what's going on there.
Ross has loaded all the dirt audio on

760
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:50.239
there. Yeah, just in case
we only take and take, you know,

761
01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:54.880
stroll down memory lane. Super excited
about this, man, I know

762
01:02:54.960 --> 01:03:00.239
what to see. I posted it
online and like Jason Cord remember Jason's work

763
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.360
here. Yeah, he like immediately
responded and he was like this has to

764
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:05.440
be fake. It can't be real. And I'm like, we'll check it

765
01:03:05.480 --> 01:03:08.880
out. Man. He's going to
Greensboro, Asheville, Wilmington. It's gonna

766
01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:14.239
be amazing. Yeah, wonder why
not Raleigh or Durham or something. It's

767
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:25.639
just an old crapper tank people,
Okay, gig it away. I mean

768
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:29.519
it's a top three movie. It's
a tip. I hope he's in character.

769
01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:31.679
I mean, I know you mean
that because you wrote an entire thread

770
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:38.239
underneath the thing there on the top
three movies, which for those of you

771
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:42.119
who play in the home game,
or Godfather, Godfather too and Joe Dirt.

772
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:45.760
And then you showed everyone your award. Yeah, because I don't want

773
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:47.280
it to be scared. They got
him some sort of lunatic So I want

774
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:51.440
him to know that. You know, I'm a professional radio guy and I

775
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:55.880
have one very important awards. Don't
you feel it is kind of lunatic behavior

776
01:03:57.159 --> 01:04:00.360
to have Before you even finish the
sentence, no you didn't. What was

777
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:04.199
I gonna say? It doesn't matter. No, a bunch of Joe Dirt

778
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:10.280
drops in my news category or my
news media. Yeah it is. It

779
01:04:10.320 --> 01:04:13.679
came out of the sky. Well
I'm sure it did, but it ain't.

780
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:18.599
No Maydia. There is a big
old frozen chunk of what. We've

781
01:04:18.599 --> 01:04:21.639
got to get tickets. We've got
to get tickets. Fa We've been talking

782
01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:27.760
about this for what twelve years?
Thirteen years? Gotta do it. Some

783
01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:31.159
of us have not voluntarily been talking
about it. We just get ambushed every

784
01:04:31.199 --> 01:04:33.880
fourth of July. Right, it's
a staple on the fourth man, It's

785
01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:38.679
not. It's not. It's not
a staple. People love it find PTSD

786
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:42.880
inducing thing that I wait for all
three hours of whatever show immediately precedes the

787
01:04:42.920 --> 01:04:45.639
olive And then we do have listeners
in the Triangle that are confused, like,

788
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:46.400
oh, he's not coming to Raleigh, so you can't go. I'm

789
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:48.119
like, well, I mean we
do have a radio station in the show

790
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:53.239
in Greensboro in the Triad, so
it's relevant, right, So I'm saying,

791
01:04:53.239 --> 01:04:58.320
listen, I don't I'm not for
using our media credentials and power to

792
01:04:58.400 --> 01:05:00.679
influence things, but I'm saying we
can somehow pick up tickets for the show.

793
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:03.840
I think I think the audience.
This isn't about me. I think

794
01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:09.880
the audience needs it. Think's important, this is relevant? Is he gonna

795
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:12.880
have the gator on stage? Here
we go go. I'm a bit of

796
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:18.880
a crocofile so don't try this at
home. This here's Rocky and he ain't

797
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:27.079
no puppy. Yeah, let's see
if Rock's got some cattle. It's mofa

798
01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:44.440
no. Not to mess with Sir
Joseph's shirt. Go on. I think

799
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:47.639
it's great that he's striking in the
iron is hot too? Well? Timing

800
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:54.079
is there? Yeah, it really
is. Are you concerned that some people

801
01:05:54.079 --> 01:05:57.719
who may have professional jobs that they're
headed to right now? Are you just

802
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:00.599
made them dumber? Like you know, maybe some surgeon who's going to save

803
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:08.320
somebody's lost I and now maybe harmful. There's a lot of life lessons in

804
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:15.480
that movie, man, is there? I I don't. I don't remember.

805
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:18.079
I remember the fireworks stands sucked?
I did it? That was That

806
01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:23.559
was my big take. You like
to see Home was naked? Home my

807
01:06:23.639 --> 01:06:26.159
way you make it? And you
like to see Home was naked? That's

808
01:06:26.199 --> 01:06:30.800
cool? Man? Whatever is that
a life lesson? I don't Dtand I'm

809
01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:33.760
so confused. But anyway, that's
the thing, And but I don't understand

810
01:06:33.840 --> 01:06:41.920
exactly what the thing is. I
don't remember any Joe Dirret references the one

811
01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:44.639
stand up I saw with him.
But if that's your thing, uh,

812
01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:47.039
I mean, listen, listen.
We're always being asked by promotions and management,

813
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:49.119
right like, Hey, can you
guys think of a contest or something

814
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:53.440
you should be doing? David Spade, the Joe Dirt Count, whatever it's

815
01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:56.119
called, is coming to Greensboro.
Did I just sell that? Sold it

816
01:06:56.119 --> 01:07:01.880
perfectly? Couldn't in all seriousness?
Send an email to JT and tell him

817
01:07:01.880 --> 01:07:05.679
because yeah, he's Yeah, that's
We're doing some other giveaways and we have

818
01:07:05.719 --> 01:07:11.920
a partnership obviously with the people.
I'm thinking if we don't do some sort

819
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:15.360
of Joe Dirt promotion for this after
all the years of it being part of

820
01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:19.039
the show, it's criminal negligence.
Someone's going to prison. I don't disagree,

821
01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:25.760
even though again the fireworks thing.
So what should we I think we

822
01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:32.239
should make people get their hair cut
like Joe Dirt. Well, I mean,

823
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:34.920
I think it's n fair because a
lot of people already have that haircut.

824
01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:40.760
Well, then you're you're planning a
head that's like complaining that a dude,

825
01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:45.360
you know, he's doing the half
court shot at halftime and they're like,

826
01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:46.840
no, he played basketball before.
Well that's good on him. He

827
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:50.639
thought maybe one day I'll need this
skill set. Stupid. Yeah, I

828
01:07:50.679 --> 01:07:56.400
think we should force people to get
mullets. And to your point, yeah,

829
01:07:56.400 --> 01:07:59.800
there are some parts of the state
where there's going to be uh probably

830
01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:04.519
outsized a number of people qualifying for
the big prize, But I don't know.

831
01:08:04.599 --> 01:08:09.559
Maybe we'll see. What's the date
on it? You would have enough

832
01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:15.640
time? Yeah, probably it's June
twenty seventh for Greensboro. All right,

833
01:08:15.720 --> 01:08:19.239
maybe we'll put that in the maybe
bucket. Okay, all right, very

834
01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:27.800
good. So Washington, State of
Washington. Guy thinks he's showing up to

835
01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:33.439
hook up with the seven and eleven
year old girls. He's sixty five.

836
01:08:35.520 --> 01:08:42.359
He believes he is negotiated with the
mom of the two kids to go to

837
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:50.680
this motel and she leave alone for
a little while or I don't know where

838
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:55.880
she said she was going to be
in the conversation, and he could satisfy

839
01:08:55.920 --> 01:09:00.079
all of his super twisted urges,
except the problem was what he showed up.

840
01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:03.800
He didn't meet mom. There were
no seven or eleven year old girls.

841
01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:13.000
Instead, you saw the police,
Seattle police in uniform, I said,

842
01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:17.039
sixty five, sixty seven actually,
and you see the video and it's

843
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:24.399
fast, it is fast. Right
door opens, police in uniform comes spilling

844
01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:29.600
out of there, and this guy
within the first second you can see him

845
01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:35.439
removing a pistol from underneath his jacket. His jacket's not buttoned or zipped up

846
01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:42.000
and up, and he probably had
it in his hand prior to knocking on

847
01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:47.960
the door, which would make sense
considering the type of people he is dealing

848
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:53.479
with there, or thinks he's dealing
with right, that makes perfect sense because

849
01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:58.199
you're you know, you're dealing with
criminals, then you're yourself for a criminal

850
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:01.479
if that's what you're doing. So
no honor among thieves. I get that.

851
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:06.439
And in that split second, the
first officer places his hands around the

852
01:10:06.479 --> 01:10:14.359
pistol while the other officer is able
to get off two belly shots. Because

853
01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:18.600
now you have this pistol, this
guy's got the butt end. The officer

854
01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:23.880
is kind of trying has the barely
spinning it away. It's an extremely dangerous

855
01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:29.800
situation, and so the other officer
hits him twice with that, at which

856
01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:34.119
point guy drops still. Firearm is
still with him, and it's mag dump

857
01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:45.800
city and he's gone. Watch the
video. I tweeted it out at Casey

858
01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:49.159
on the radio, and it's like
a curious number of people that seem to

859
01:10:49.159 --> 01:10:56.760
have a problem with this, although
maybe not major problems, saying let's see

860
01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:01.199
one was you know after they the
officer has control, it has the pistol,

861
01:11:01.239 --> 01:11:04.119
there's no need to shoot him.
The officer doesn't have the pistol.

862
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:12.119
The officer is playing like the most
dangerous tug of war game possible, I

863
01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:14.960
guess, short of tug of war
over an alligator pit. But like,

864
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:19.479
you don't want to be fighting fighting
with a gun, like literally fighting over

865
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:23.880
it. You don't know whose fingers
in the trigger guard, You don't know,

866
01:11:24.720 --> 01:11:26.680
you know, at all times,
when you're that close, you don't

867
01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:30.520
even know where it's pointing. Necessarily, That's why it's a movie trope,

868
01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:33.199
right, two guys fighting over a
gun. All of a sudden, there's

869
01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:36.319
a shot. One guy has a
shock look, but you know that that's

870
01:11:36.359 --> 01:11:39.279
not the one who got shot.
It's the other one. And it's a

871
01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:42.199
fake out and they do it every
damn time. This is real life,

872
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:46.079
man. He the officer opened that
door and immediately, within a half second,

873
01:11:46.119 --> 01:11:49.520
is greeted with the guy who is
processing that he's going to go to

874
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:56.600
jail for a long time. And
the officer is processing that this guy has

875
01:11:56.640 --> 01:12:01.640
a damn gun in his hand.
And I saw people say, well,

876
01:12:01.640 --> 01:12:08.439
look, he had it in his
hand before. So it is in that

877
01:12:08.520 --> 01:12:11.840
moment of surprise that they saw it
and at that point they decided to kill

878
01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:16.239
him. And to that, I
would say, it doesn't matter why he

879
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:21.880
where he had it before, especially
when you consider that what you're doing.

880
01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:26.199
I'll give you an example. Here's
where it does matter. Okay, it

881
01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:30.880
matters if an officer, If an
officer came up onto Let's say I had

882
01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:34.000
property and I got you know,
enough acreage that I can shoot on my

883
01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:41.399
property and no neighbors who just moved
from California will whind about it. And

884
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.760
I'm doing that and an officer pulls
into my driveway on some whatever the issue

885
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:48.960
is. Maybe maybe there was a
call, maybe he suspects me, whatever

886
01:12:49.000 --> 01:12:53.680
it is. If that officer simply
because he views me holding a firearm,

887
01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:57.600
opens fire, then yes, I
agree with you. The difference here is

888
01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:08.119
this guy is in the commission of
felonious actions and is being presented with officers

889
01:13:09.079 --> 01:13:14.560
or by you know, with officers
who are going to likely keep him from

890
01:13:14.680 --> 01:13:18.359
ever breathing free air again, even
even in Seattle, of all places,

891
01:13:18.399 --> 01:13:24.359
I think they would actually prosecute this
guy. And so it's not the same

892
01:13:24.439 --> 01:13:28.159
situation. And at that point he
also could have made a decision when the

893
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:35.840
officer grabbed the gun to let go
of it, Ta dah. And had

894
01:13:35.880 --> 01:13:41.039
he done that with the first you
know it, actually he had a few

895
01:13:41.119 --> 01:13:44.479
seconds, which, in that as
fast as everything was going was actually quite

896
01:13:44.520 --> 01:13:46.079
a bit of time he could have
just let go, just let go of

897
01:13:46.119 --> 01:13:50.199
the gun. You don't get you
don't get gut shot. And then mag

898
01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:54.640
dumped at that point. But he
didn't do any of those things. And

899
01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:59.800
then of course there's the other part
where won't be raping, no kids,

900
01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:04.920
no more, which I see many
people latched onto here. It was weird.

901
01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:09.039
Was it a holiday in express?
And he's really bad at this,

902
01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:15.039
so I don't know. Probably maybe
the family will sue Intercontinental hotel brands or

903
01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:19.720
whatever did not make him better at
his chosen thing here. All right,

904
01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:26.600
I talked about Moonbat on Moonbat environmental
stuff. I will get you that story.

905
01:14:26.680 --> 01:14:31.279
And the speaking of environmental stuff,
the state of New York has their

906
01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:41.199
next target. You're the next target
that's got to go on your little food

907
01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:45.239
shopping list there and we'll talk racist
foods every other day. There's one of

908
01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:49.399
these hot boobs in profile and some
other ones. I can't read on our

909
01:14:50.119 --> 01:14:54.800
stuff or is it just getting worse
everywhere? And I'm feeling like I'm targeted

910
01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:58.720
because we're selfish. I don't know, Man, try to look at the

911
01:14:58.760 --> 01:15:01.520
replies on Twitter and and it's just
covered with that garbage. All right,

912
01:15:03.039 --> 01:15:05.760
I know you're right. It's weird
too because it doesn't matter like what the

913
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:10.680
topic is. It can be something
very serious, like I posted like a

914
01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:14.199
sweet thing about Lincoln, you know, yeah, I'm posting about my twelve

915
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:15.880
year old who has autism and like
how he wants to be a DJ and

916
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:18.560
his playlist and all this stuff,
and then there it is in the comments

917
01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:24.159
boobs and bio. I mean,
so it's not like a keyword thing I

918
01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:27.279
have no I I just don't know. I don't know how we got on

919
01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:30.560
the on the list there, but
very frustrated. Hey, let me ask

920
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:35.520
you a quick question. Let's say
you wanted to rob a convenience store.

921
01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:40.880
What do you think you would use
to rob the store with? Hypothetically,

922
01:15:40.920 --> 01:15:43.399
not that you would, of course, ever do that, but what do

923
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.159
you what do you what do you
think that it would be a useful tool

924
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:51.399
to achieve your goal? Sheer,
intimidation and will anything else? Firearm?

925
01:15:51.760 --> 01:15:56.079
Okay, you're gonna go with a
firearm. Let's let's go to Memphis quickly.

926
01:15:56.920 --> 01:15:59.359
I know if you know this,
you think, think of any city

927
01:15:59.359 --> 01:16:02.199
in America. Thing's dangerous, and
then just know that Memphis is probably worse.

928
01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:06.800
They were the leader in many of
the main categories for a while in

929
01:16:06.880 --> 01:16:12.760
Chicago got all the credits. So
any who, around two am, man

930
01:16:12.840 --> 01:16:15.600
by the name of Reginald Cook decided
he was going to rob him the Shell

931
01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:24.720
convenience store on Elvis Presley Drive in
Memphis, Tennessee. Cook allegedly came into

932
01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:30.279
the store with a he's wearing a
hoodie and a backpack and demanded cash,

933
01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:33.359
and he was kind of fiddling with
his backpack. So the cashier said he

934
01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:36.920
believed that he might have been armed, but he didn't see a firearm,

935
01:16:38.920 --> 01:16:41.640
and the cash here just looked at
him and said, no, get out

936
01:16:41.640 --> 01:16:43.760
of here if I call the police, which, by the way, people

937
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:45.960
are like, why would you do
that if you think he's Do you understand

938
01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:53.960
the type of person it takes to
work at the graveyard shift, the overnight

939
01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:59.800
shift at a gas station without a
bulletproof cage, I might add in Memphis,

940
01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:09.000
Tennesse, you understand the eight tour
grizzled Vietnam vet. You're gonna have

941
01:17:09.079 --> 01:17:13.079
to be to work two am in
a high crime area in a high crime

942
01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:17.760
city. Please, of course,
he said, no, please say Cook

943
01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:23.399
then left the store and came back
thirty minutes later this time he was armed,

944
01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:30.039
very intimidating. All right, Rossell, you went with firearm, you

945
01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:32.079
said, firearm and sheer will and
intimidation, right, that was your go

946
01:17:32.159 --> 01:17:42.520
to. This guy decided he was
going to take the WWE approach. I'm

947
01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:46.079
assuming because he rolled back in with
a five foot snake around his neck,

948
01:17:46.199 --> 01:17:57.359
a railroad spike and a rock.
And I guess he thought that that was

949
01:17:57.399 --> 01:18:01.319
going to intimidate the clerk because he
had, you know, his his creepy

950
01:18:01.359 --> 01:18:05.439
Boa Constrictor friend and a railroad spike
which I maybe found that in the parking

951
01:18:05.439 --> 01:18:10.840
lot. The problem is is this
is Tennessee. This is not Los Angeles,

952
01:18:10.880 --> 01:18:15.119
this is not New York City.
So the guy who works overnight at

953
01:18:15.159 --> 01:18:20.079
the gas station and the bad part
of town and the bad town, he

954
01:18:20.159 --> 01:18:24.600
pulled his dirty hairy weapon because of
course he has a pistol. Then he

955
01:18:24.600 --> 01:18:29.560
held him and then the police came
and arrested this idiot. So you're not

956
01:18:29.560 --> 01:18:35.119
getting any money, and now he's
now now he's in jail. So he's

957
01:18:35.159 --> 01:18:39.439
like, choose your weapon, and
you're like a burlapsack with a snake in

958
01:18:39.479 --> 01:18:44.159
it. Oh, it's like paper
rock scissors for criminals yeah, it's like

959
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:51.439
the clerk. Look if this guy
probably gets rod with a gun so often

960
01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:56.199
that this criminal dirt bag was just
trying to spice things up for him.

961
01:18:57.239 --> 01:19:00.119
You know this guy. You know
what this guy sounds like. Do you

962
01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:02.520
remember that dude in Oklahoma where convinced
was trying to make the super snake.

963
01:19:03.520 --> 01:19:06.680
Yeah, they pulled him over it
they would they found like what a snake

964
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:10.680
and like plutonium or something. Yeah, and then there was some other thing

965
01:19:10.720 --> 01:19:15.199
too, an ope, a bottle
of liquor because you know, when you're

966
01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:17.319
getting radiated to get powers as a
snake. I guess you got a drink.

967
01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:20.319
There's something else. But it's like
this guy, I don't know,

968
01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:25.119
man, And how does that work? From a paper rocks or standpoint?

969
01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:30.520
Does rock? Does railroad spike beat
rock? I guess because you can use

970
01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:33.039
him to split rock? And where
does the snake fall on this? Like?

971
01:19:33.159 --> 01:19:40.439
What would it beat railroad spike?
The whole thing's weird. Doesn't say

972
01:19:40.479 --> 01:19:44.640
if he now you get to keep
his snake in jail. But anyway,

973
01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:48.479
but just be clear, gun beats
rock, snake and spike, So now

974
01:19:48.520 --> 01:19:56.239
you know it's important information. Man, that'll make sure all right, so

975
01:19:56.840 --> 01:20:00.439
New York they've decided they're going to
get to get to cancel in some stuff

976
01:20:01.119 --> 01:20:10.239
again and have now looked at a
new bill called Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure

977
01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:15.279
Act. So basically they are they're
going to attempt to force any company.

978
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:18.159
I believe they only have to have
net income over a million dollars. So

979
01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:25.720
that's going to be any reasonable signed
food company or reasonable sized food company that's

980
01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:33.520
in the bigger grocery stores to reduce
their packaging. And they got a whole

981
01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:39.359
ramp thing. And one of the
immediate, one of the most immediate things

982
01:20:39.359 --> 01:20:46.720
that will happen is the the law
will outlaw individually wrapped food in larger things.

983
01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:51.840
So I guess what example. I
guess cheese would be the best example

984
01:20:51.880 --> 01:20:55.720
of that. Right, we have
individually wrapped but also granola bars, Like,

985
01:20:55.760 --> 01:21:00.239
how does that work? You go
buy a box of granola bars and

986
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.920
there's ten, you know, individually
wrapped granola bars in there. So and

987
01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:09.000
remember, if that's this is how
California plays, they do this crap,

988
01:21:09.079 --> 01:21:12.920
and California had, you know,
such a big income. Generally companies will

989
01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:16.079
make the changes. But I don't
know how the hell this is gonna work.

990
01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:20.840
But that's what they're doing right now
because it's it's problematic and there's lots

991
01:21:20.840 --> 01:21:27.640
of problematic foods. I came to
learn. Did you know that lots of

992
01:21:27.640 --> 01:21:32.479
problematic foods? Somebody put together an
amazing thread, which, by the way,

993
01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:40.079
I'll have to remember to retweet here. I had forgotten all this stuff,

994
01:21:40.119 --> 01:21:44.359
but on food that is problematic or
racist or any of the rest,

995
01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:49.680
and uh, holy crap, man, Holy crap. It's a lot of

996
01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:53.720
stuff, like a lot of a
lot, a lot of stuff, to

997
01:21:53.760 --> 01:21:56.720
the point where I think the reason
they want you to eat bugs is because

998
01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:59.640
that's all they have left. And
I think what we'll do in the uh

999
01:21:59.720 --> 01:22:03.319
in the last segment is I just
want to revisit some of those because yeah,

1000
01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:08.119
there's even some stuff I didn't realize, and I guess maybe you can

1001
01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:12.960
decide whether you want to change your
lifestyle. So we'll get into that.

1002
01:22:13.079 --> 01:22:16.239
But raced agic first, he is
he's standing by. So Guy goes into

1003
01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:21.199
a convenience store two am, Memphis, Tennessee, already super dangerous, tells

1004
01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:24.880
the clerk, give me all the
money, clerk because it tells him no,

1005
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:27.760
because you got to be grizzled to
work that shift, I suppose,

1006
01:22:28.199 --> 01:22:31.079
and h dude went and then came
back. He and with a snake around

1007
01:22:31.119 --> 01:22:36.159
his neck holding a railroad spike in
a rock. Well, except the clerk

1008
01:22:36.159 --> 01:22:40.000
had a gun. So in the
in the paper rock scissors of this,

1009
01:22:40.119 --> 01:22:44.920
the gun beats those things. Yes, I would think paper rock scissors.

1010
01:22:45.159 --> 01:22:46.279
I mean, I understand, I
guess a rock you know, a lot

1011
01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:55.640
able action railroad spike. It's heavy, it's sharp. Sure, snake in

1012
01:22:55.760 --> 01:22:59.960
that case you need like you need
like a like a girl, like a

1013
01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:01.800
like a tween who's creeped out by
stuff. Other than that, I don't

1014
01:23:01.800 --> 01:23:05.319
think the snake's gonna have any effect
unless it's visibly a cobra or something.

1015
01:23:05.560 --> 01:23:10.520
Right, But no, anyway,
he's in jail. So what's up?

1016
01:23:11.640 --> 01:23:16.279
Well, pretty good looking weather.
Got a little cloud this morning around the

1017
01:23:16.319 --> 01:23:20.960
triangle. There might be a little
drizzle in some spots. It doesn't look

1018
01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:25.000
like some materialize into too much either
way, These clouds are gonna go away.

1019
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:27.279
Already starting to clear. Try and
that's all coming east. If you

1020
01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:30.640
haven't cleared yet, you will And
it's gonna be a great day. Little

1021
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:33.439
on the cool side, but not
bad about ten twelve degrees below average,

1022
01:23:33.439 --> 01:23:36.720
depends on where you are on either
side of sixty by few, so up

1023
01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:42.760
fifties, low sixties tonight, clear
and upper thirties to low forties, a

1024
01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:46.600
little warmer Tuesday, as we have
sunshine back low seventies and then low seventies

1025
01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:50.079
with maybe some light rain or sprinkles
on Wednesday. Otherwise clouds and sunshine,

1026
01:23:50.079 --> 01:23:54.479
and really that's the only mention of
rain this week. It looks like high

1027
01:23:54.520 --> 01:23:58.279
pressure will be back in some beautiful
weather for late week with low mid seventies

1028
01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:00.439
for highs and loads will be a
little chilly, mid to upper forties,

1029
01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:03.920
and then they'll start to come up
toward the weekend as we'll temperatures Saturday and

1030
01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:06.119
Sunday, if we want to go
that far ahead, I mean, really

1031
01:24:06.159 --> 01:24:10.359
not much else to talk about.
So we will bots of sunshine, and

1032
01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:13.880
the weekend looks great. Mid seventies
on Saturday, maybe near eighty and some

1033
01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:16.760
spots on Sunday. So I'm going
to be a pretty quiet week weatherwise.

1034
01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:23.199
This way looks right now as we
start getting into the last few days of

1035
01:24:23.199 --> 01:24:27.399
the month. Boy, last weekend
of April coming up, This weekend coming

1036
01:24:27.479 --> 01:24:31.479
up, so it's all downhill now
till summertime. Right what no, no,

1037
01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:34.159
no, no, no, no, no, all right, I'm

1038
01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:38.119
trying to make it up here.
Yeah, to see this, you see

1039
01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:42.199
to more? All right, Thank
you, Jeff, and we'll for Jeff

1040
01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:46.680
Ray and then we'll chat with Jeff
like my first day working with these guys.

1041
01:24:47.399 --> 01:24:53.119
Jeff Bollinger from Bloomberg. We got
the food in sanity and just a

1042
01:24:53.119 --> 01:24:55.359
little sports story over the weekend.
If you didn't see it, I think's

1043
01:24:55.399 --> 01:24:57.399
kind of cool. We'll get into
all of it coming up. Hang on,

1044
01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:00.960
well, good morning, Casey.
The or chain Express has filed for

1045
01:25:01.039 --> 01:25:06.399
bankruptcy, and the retailer's future is
already taking shape. Express has a buyout

1046
01:25:06.479 --> 01:25:11.159
offer, and it plans to sell
itself to a group made up of WHP

1047
01:25:11.319 --> 01:25:15.159
Globo that's the firm behind the revival
of Toys r US and the mall landlords,

1048
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:20.000
Simon Property Group and Brookfield Properties.
The deal calls for Express to close

1049
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:25.199
about ninety five of its more than
five hundred stores and all of its up

1050
01:25:25.239 --> 01:25:30.199
West locations. Now blue chip stocks
closed higher on Friday. Investors were seeking

1051
01:25:30.239 --> 01:25:32.920
relative safety ahead of the weekend,
but the Nasdaq and the S and P

1052
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:36.960
five hundred. Both finished lower at
the moment, though the futures are looking

1053
01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:40.880
good. They have looked good all
morning. S and P futures or up

1054
01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:45.239
thirty points, Nasdaq futures or up
one hundred nineteen. Now futures or up

1055
01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:49.199
two hundred and fourteen. Blue chips
could get some help from Verizon Communications today.

1056
01:25:49.319 --> 01:25:56.039
Verizon posted a bigger than expected first
quarter profit. Wireless revenue increased despite

1057
01:25:56.079 --> 01:26:00.000
a loss of retail subscribers. The
unofficial start of the summer travel season is

1058
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:04.319
fast approaching. More than half of
the nation's adults plan to take summer vacation.

1059
01:26:04.760 --> 01:26:09.840
Bancred dot com says a third of
the vacationers will take on debt to

1060
01:26:09.880 --> 01:26:13.680
pay for their trips. Many say
they will use credit cards then carry the

1061
01:26:13.720 --> 01:26:17.079
balance over several billing cycles. Others
will rely on buy now, pay later

1062
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:21.079
services or personal loans. And Casey, we talked a little bit about this

1063
01:26:21.239 --> 01:26:26.720
last week. Bosses gave activist employees
an inch, but a lot of workers

1064
01:26:26.760 --> 01:26:30.399
took a mile now that party is
over. We did see it last week

1065
01:26:30.439 --> 01:26:34.239
when twenty eight Google workers were fired
for protesting over the company's cloud deal with

1066
01:26:34.279 --> 01:26:40.439
the Israeli government. Wall Street Journal
reports today that bosses who tolerated dissent in

1067
01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:44.840
recent years have had enough. They
no longer put up with dissent that disrupts

1068
01:26:44.880 --> 01:26:48.119
the workplace. Casey, all right, well it looks like the universities are

1069
01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:51.279
getting aboard on that too. I
think people just had enough of this stuff.

1070
01:26:51.399 --> 01:26:54.840
Is it really that? I mean, I don't know what part of

1071
01:26:54.880 --> 01:26:57.840
town you live on, but like, is it that insane in New York

1072
01:26:57.880 --> 01:27:01.560
at Columbia right now? I'm assuming
that's the only it's it's a big story.

1073
01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:06.800
It's I have I I don't work
or travel near Columbia, but it's

1074
01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:11.600
it's it's been the maiden story on
local news for a few nights. Now,

1075
01:27:12.039 --> 01:27:15.000
okay, all right, well we'll
see what they the Trump trial.

1076
01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:17.479
Yep, well that's getting weird.
But anyway, all right, well,

1077
01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:20.520
thank you very much, appreciate it. Talk tomorrow. You two have a

1078
01:27:20.560 --> 01:27:28.119
good date. Yeah, you know, there was there's some what was I

1079
01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:30.119
can't remember who sent the email?
There was an email that somebody got.

1080
01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:35.239
It was one of those uh you
accidentally all replied, all And basically it

1081
01:27:35.359 --> 01:27:43.119
just showed some the staffers with the
Democrat Senate, the Senate Committee the basically

1082
01:27:43.159 --> 01:27:45.800
they're going this this, this,
this stuff of the universe, this is

1083
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:48.760
horrible for us, Like they're sitting
there looking at like this is not good.

1084
01:27:48.880 --> 01:27:54.680
So a little panicky there. So
obviously, as much as the media

1085
01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:59.239
can lean into the Trump trial stuff, I suppose they might go in that

1086
01:27:59.279 --> 01:28:01.720
direction, but I don't know that
it'll work, all right, So I

1087
01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:09.720
mentioned the foods there, all right, So yeah, yeah, So the

1088
01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:13.800
state of New York is wanting to
get rid of things, and one of

1089
01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:18.720
the victims there may be individually rapped
American cheese. I guess you grilled cheese

1090
01:28:18.840 --> 01:28:26.279
enthusiasts now granted, other sliced cheese. Sometimes it just comes with the paper

1091
01:28:26.319 --> 01:28:30.159
in between. And some brands don't
have it in there at all. So

1092
01:28:30.680 --> 01:28:35.119
that does exist out there. But
if you buy Crafts singles, you know

1093
01:28:35.199 --> 01:28:40.880
what you're getting, and there are
other reasons why you may want that individually

1094
01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:46.159
wrapped, okay, because sometimes you're
not using it right at the moment you're

1095
01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:50.159
removing it from the refrigerator. I
remember this because my mom used to put

1096
01:28:50.279 --> 01:28:55.039
some of the singles sometimes in our
lunch and she would leave it wrapped.

1097
01:28:56.680 --> 01:28:59.439
You know, I don't know from
a health perspective, if that was a

1098
01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:05.159
super necessary thing, but it was
worked for us. Plus the inside of

1099
01:29:05.159 --> 01:29:10.520
my lunchbox probably wasn't the cleanest thing
in there, so so yeah, we'll

1100
01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:13.000
add that to the list. And
then I saw this is great, a

1101
01:29:13.319 --> 01:29:17.600
list of all of the problematic different
foods out there according to the media.

1102
01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:21.960
And it's crazy. All right,
Ross, if you eat any of these,

1103
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:28.239
just know that you are You're a
horrible person, and so am I

1104
01:29:28.279 --> 01:29:31.479
and anyone else who does up first. Candy don't. I don't really like

1105
01:29:31.560 --> 01:29:39.760
candy, So I'm okay here not
a big candy fan. Yeah, here

1106
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:45.640
we go. Fish, just says
fish? Or is Sacramento b Why some

1107
01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:53.159
fish or junk others are protected California
study points to racism? Yams? Those

1108
01:29:53.199 --> 01:29:58.359
are they have a racist background.
Fried chicken obviously, there you go.

1109
01:29:59.439 --> 01:30:05.680
Let's see barbecue. I hope none
of you guys eat barbecue. The media

1110
01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:12.159
has erased the long history of black
barbecue. How about soft drinks? Did

1111
01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:15.319
you know that those were problematic?
Those are probably if you're rid of those

1112
01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:20.479
eggs, BENEDICTT I like eggs,
Benedict, you a fan of the eggs,

1113
01:30:20.479 --> 01:30:25.199
Benedict, Ross, I'm a fan
of eggs in general. Yeah,

1114
01:30:25.239 --> 01:30:28.359
but that with that, with that
sauce on the way, why can't these

1115
01:30:28.399 --> 01:30:32.199
people be normal? Hold on mimosas
too. I kind of agree with that.

1116
01:30:33.680 --> 01:30:40.159
Why can't they be normal? Because
I this is this is this is

1117
01:30:40.199 --> 01:30:43.840
how you get funding, This is
how you get attention. Ninety percent of

1118
01:30:43.880 --> 01:30:46.399
these headlines are the result of a
study that was done at some university that

1119
01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:55.479
likely propped up the financial health and
career of the individuals doing it. So

1120
01:30:55.720 --> 01:30:58.960
I would just say ninety percent of
the stories now I come across on X

1121
01:30:59.000 --> 01:31:00.720
or on social media, on the
net, whatever, I'm like, ninety

1122
01:31:00.720 --> 01:31:04.359
percent of them. My reaction is, why can't you be normal? How

1123
01:31:04.399 --> 01:31:11.239
about Ketchup? You like Ketchup?
Did ketchup is genocide? Well? No,

1124
01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:15.399
this is the headline from the Guardian
is having to pay for Ketchup racist?

1125
01:31:17.239 --> 01:31:19.560
I mean most times you don't have
to, though, most time if

1126
01:31:19.560 --> 01:31:21.159
you order, like if you go
to Boat Jingles, right and you're like,

1127
01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:24.720
give you a chicken biscuit or whatever, and then they'll just give you

1128
01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:27.560
the packets, right, Like I
think, if you roll up to the

1129
01:31:27.600 --> 01:31:29.479
window, just ask for it,
right, you can just get it for

1130
01:31:29.520 --> 01:31:31.439
nothing. And by the way,
if you want to get the most of

1131
01:31:31.520 --> 01:31:33.000
something asked for one of it.
