Looking at the log here, but I'm pretty sure I got an extra like
twelve to fifteen minutes, so uh yeah, I don't know why that was
like the icing on the cake. I'm like, can we just do this
thing yesterday with the State of the Union. If you missed it, miss
some of it, want to revisit it. We got lots of audio.
Ross has been a busy bee this morning, so you know, stick with
us throughout the show. We'll get your hot takes as well. If I'm
just to read headlines though kind of I shouldn't even say much ado about nothing,
man, the I'm probb most people probably didn't watch the broadcast feed that
I did yesterday. Rather than turning on one of the networks, I happen
to have the YouTube app open and they had a streaming there, so I
actually listened to the Washington Posts live coverage, which is interesting obviously because they
couldn't have been more enamored, calling what it happened last night quote Truman esque.
I believe they're referring to some of the polling that wasn't working out for
Harry there and midway through that initial term, obviously, he had some interesting
things that happened, but man, they were just losing their crap. And
well that may have been unique the larger thing. And let me go to
NBC's headline that I saw every single person in the mainstream media essentially this was
their take. You ready, let me read the headline here. Biden stares
down questions about his age and fitness for office with spirited speech and the sub
headline. Biden flubbed a few prepared lines and stumbled a bit during ad libs,
but he belied the gop caricature of him as an enfeebled old man who
needs to retire. All right. Was he more energetic, I guess than
a lot of the campaigns or the you know, the the events stuff.
Yeah, yeah he was. He had at a little more zip. But
just as he had zip doesn't mean that the zip was not cringey to watch.
I got, I would say about forty five minutes in like that was
kind of going off the rails. When you get around the Lincoln Riley,
I understand, it's not Lincoln Riley, it's Linco and Riley. When you
get around that. The weird thing he said following that about thousands dying from
legals, I don't know if he was like having a moment where you because
it sounded like he was trying. He was kind of agreen and we'll break
this down more specific heure in just a little bit. But but but then
he said that, and I don't know if he was like going, you
know what, Obviously, there there have been issues with people in this country
illegally and people dying, and in fact it's sometimes it's not necessarily just one
on one right where an individual is in the country illegally with their own hands
commits a murder. There's also the the other stuff that happens that cost people
their lives, you know, the increase in fentanyl being brought over here,
shoved into the nation's party supplies, the you know, the the bigger issue
that is not just American citizens, but rather others who are attempting to come
to this country and find themselves falling victim to sexual assault, murder, robbery,
and basically financial enslavement to cover the cost of the trip. In some
instances where their family is essentially financially enslaved or their loved one literally may come
across the border, the family is notified and until the debt is paid,
they don't see their loved one, which is something that happens, and in
some cases to work it off, people are drug into sexual servitude, sexual
slavery. So I don't know if he meant that or if he was he
was coming back with the repubtal Well, citizens murder people too, which is
true, but if you're physically not here, it's it's it gets a lot
harder to murder, is all that I'm saying. So you know that the
the niche of the headlines was see you said he's old and I can't remember
stuff, and he gave the you know, the the Speech of the century,
which you kind of knew that that's you know, that's where we're going
to be headed with this thing. But still, come on, man,
as he was, come on, man, I mean Speech of the century.
Because I'm invested in finally I've read about my sex. Agriculture knows more
about this than anybody I know. We're better able to stay. I want
to be very clear because when I when I when I first heard this,
Ross did not speed the audio up. I just want to if I just
want to be abundantly clear, because I heard this last night too, and
I'm like used to the audio. So what is going on with Well,
he's talking ross. You dubbed that in at standard speed, right, that
is not that is not sped in any way, shape or form. That
is the speed at which he delivered whatever. This is all right? So,
yes, this is the speed at which whatever was. I don't know
what the hell he said, but whatever this was, this was at this
speed because I invested in. Finally, Cat's read about my sex agriculture knows
more about this than anybody I know. We're better able to stay in the
family for the those farms, so and their children and grandchildren don't have to
leave leave home to make a living. It's transformative. Well what what is
he talking about maintaining ownership of family agricultural things within the family and what makes
it? Because I'm I'm fine with that, And as as as somebody who's
got a little experience in this front, I can tell you that there are
a variety of things that can make that very complex. I mean, you're
always going to have the the the wavering of in our case, the you
know, the price of beef. But you know, for for lamb producers,
that cause for people who producing agricultural you know, fruit or vegetable.
You are to some extent at the whim of the market, which is from
time to time manipulated. And I don't just mean by the big stock growers,
but also the way the government gets their nose and stuff it. It's
not as simple as what you see really well, you know, beef,
you know, beef pound on the hoof right now, the thirty two cent
you know whatever. It is not necessarily there's a lot of things that go
into it, a lot of things, especially when you get into the slaughter
side of things. It's it's really tough because the barrier to entry is when
you get into the secondary part such as you know, the actual slaughter and
packaging is almost unattainable for a small business. Plus you get into things that
deal with agricultural land. Don't even get me started on the expanse of labeling
of what is a navigable water. That's a flip and nightmare. That's bureaucuous.
You run a muck. So if that is what he's you know,
he's saying, hey, this is what we need to do. That's fine.
There's also there's it's not as simple as just somebody being the owner and
then somebody handing it down in all instances, especially when you get out into
the Western United States. So you have these huge swaths of property which are
made more inherently valuable by the longevity of ownership. Meaning you can't just look
at the acreage and go or the the acreage, the usable acreage which could
be deeded, as well as these these legacy leases, and you get into
a value, an inherent value there that isn't achievable necessarily if you were just
to offload the property. But for the purpose of you know, leaving it
to future generations, you got to you gotta get trusts, You got to
you gotta set up trust It's a it's a it's a very complex thing so
that the government doesn't chew away ten fifteen percent of your property every time whoever
the most elderly person is passes away. Sorry, I honestly there's a bunch
of cuts in here, and I could just lose my mind at every single
one of them. But it was just that was the most campaigny State of
the Union I think I've ever heard, which is saying something. We got
to talk also about the person who was yelling during the State of the Union
give you the background there that's turned into its own dumb debate. Oh well
look here's I love it when people bring examples that prove the opposite point of
what they're trying to prove. But that's what we have here. And I
pulled the receipts, so lots of that. Some of you chat with Pete
Gallaner. I'm sure he's got some thoughts. That'll be at eight oh five.
So yeah, that's your Friday in a nutshell. Stick around back in
just a few Cacoday Radio program pH number eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. That'll get you on the show. And yeah, I'm
just you know, curious your thoughts. That's why we do this thing.
In fact, somebody send me an email this morning. That's where is this
Sean. I appreciate you guys having Pete on. How can we don't have
other analysts on I do? You? You're the analyt You want me,
you want some you know, spinmaster dude, Come out, Pete and I'll
talk about it, Ross and I'll talk about it. You and I will
talk about it. And you know, if if you if you got a
unique thought, or maybe maybe you saw somebody who was talking about it,
and they brought up something interesting feel free. But I you know, I
don't need somebody on here just uh running their mouth for twenty minutes another personal
But we got this, okay, because again you got a number eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four And frankly, I I can bring
on all the experts you want. I still don't know that they're gonna know
what the hell he's talking about here. Because I invested in Finally clave read
bout my sex dag culture knows more about this than anybody I know, what
what what here? Actually here, let me help, let me run it
through my my my filter here, all right, all right, all right
here, let's do this thing. Because I invested in finally read bout my
sex dag culture knows more about this than anybody I know, we're better able
to stay in the family when TRANSI off the meet homes a little change for
me? Say, does that make sense? Now? You know? Now
it makes perfect sense. He wants me to try a Chilean beer. Okay,
thank you, Secretary of EG. I think he mentioned in there.
That's what I got for you. That is the level of a student analysis
you get here, all right, Well, you get a little more than
that. Here, Here is the gist of it. It's like, you
know, how we have things that just inherently annoy us, which, frankly,
if we run our mouths too much, we kind of sound like the
old man yelling at the yelling on the launch, shaking the fist. Right.
The state of Union's a little about that, but it like it's the
same old stuff. It's the chips. Why do you have to bring the
chips up every time? Why what are we doing with that? What was
the back and forth with Republicans who, frankly, we're much less disruptive than
than Democrats during Trump's speeches, Nancy Pelosi ripped and stuff up and little yeah,
I know, Marjorie Taylor Green was there in her maga hat, and
I thought, I thought the little thing with or Biden kind of walked up
and looked surprised, you know it was. It wasn't genius level humor.
It was just a funny interaction between people. And I can sit there and
laugh at stuff, but man, when you start getting into it and and
that gas lighting starts, it is the best economy ever this that and I
mean, I want I don't know how that's productive from a campaign standpoint,
But immediately I don't give a crap about what you're saying because you know it's
not true. I know it's not true. Everyone knows it's not true.
Ah. We gotta gotta tax corporations more, all right, just as long
as we're all gonna be honest about what happens when there's more tax liability to
whatever the product is, right, because that's just business, and it doesn't
matter whether it's the taxes you pay, the raw material cost the labor costs.
Right, you got to bake it all in so on one hand to
bitch that there's two less chips in a bag and then say that the Freedo
Lay Corporation needs a six percent corporate income tax, like there's gonna be less
chips in the bag. This is this is one oh one stuff man.
Also, you had uh the lake in slash Lincoln Riley moment. Again,
I'm assuming what he means, what he's trying to say, And even if
he'd has said it perfectly, why would you insert it right there in front
of a consolatory message to the family with who you think is there, Because
he's looking around that is not there. That whole thing was a disaster,
absolute unmitigated disaster, that moment. Not really. I say, your name
is Marjorie prest Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an
illegal. That's right, But how many of the thousands of people being killed
by legals? To her parents? I say, my heart goes out to
you. Having lost children myself, I understand, all right, I mean,
yes, yeah, you, and again I'm I'm not a parent,
But arguably the two different situations. I don't even mind that Biden's got beef
on burn pits and stuff. I mean, there's you look in that topic.
It's wild man, and it may very well be late, but it's
it's use and the misuse and the throwing. Even if you meant to what
he meant to say, we believe is you know, yeah this happened,
But you know there's thousands of people being murdered by legals. Why isn't that
a problem for you? And it is. I don't want anyone murdered.
Usually there's been some names, very intermittent. I don't want a murdered Maybe
just torn achilles. I don't know anyway, but I yes, that is
true. People who are citizens murder people as well. I don't just but
why would you stick it there right before you're gonna go to the family over
there? And by the way, how'd you like to be the head coach
for the Trojans listening to that? That'd be a little disconcerting because Lincoln Riley,
it was the young woman's name, Lincoln Riley is the football coach for
the Trojans. So you know, there's I guess the reason for the wander
there, but yeah, that was it was pretty crazy. We get more
audio momentarily, let me grab a phone call Jason. What's up, Hey,
good morning, Casey. Thanks for a great job, Cluder and Rawleigh.
My wife was a little disappointed with the prep that the Republicans received for
how they were going to respond to the speech. Jay thought that all of
the Republicans should have come in wearing NASCAR T shirts. They should have handed
out ice cream cones during the speech, and somewhere in the middle started chanting,
let's go Brandon that that would have been the appropriate response. So my
question is is that what we want the state of the unions to be?
Well at this point, if there's a word cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance,
there's only so much that I can see, and I hear that what you're
saying isn't what I'm seeing. And this is incomprehensible that people just don't have
the understanding that they're looking to destroy. Biden's handlers are looking to destroy the
country and reshape it in their image. And that goes to the bubble,
that goes to all the crazy things, stuff being arown God, and it's
so nuts. I don't disagree with you, but I'm on this side of
anarchy. Tear it down, because what they're doing is they're going to collapse
it. You know what I mean. Everyone you want, I'm you don't
have to do what you think you want it to be. So that's I
hear you. And when we should behave with the koram and we should go
all that. But on the other side, I'm also thinking all the years
that we've behaved with decorum and we've let them go, and we've let them
go. There comes that moment like in the movie where he says, no
further, this is it. Somebody's has to stand up supposedly, I mean,
what's don't get me wrong, I can, I could watch me a
good old British Parliament. That's a that's a trip, sir. But you
know we have to add thanks for the call, but also what do you
I mean? I guess arguably Taylor Green tripped him into the you know,
this awkward miss, this misnaming, but is that going to move the needle?
I mean, let's face it. The the people who were upset the
most upset over what happened with Lake and Riley right their political opponents, Uh
do the hell? They had the council women or one of the county women
yesterday who was scolding people for daring to bring this up. And like,
if if your attitude is I don't want to talk about it and legals murder
people too, then you're not going to change that mind just because he mispronounces
the name. And you know with Nancy that wasn't a good look. This
scream at Supreme Court justices. Remember Barack Obama al Biden kind of decided he
was going to do that for a half second yesterday. And I know what
you're saying, because some of you losing your mind, going, well,
what about what about the way that Trump acts during the speed during speeches,
and to that, I would say, are we talking about when he's doing
that, you know, the tit for tat with the press and the Gold
Room or whatever it is, or the State of the Union. Because frankly,
even as wandery as Trump is and inflammatory as he can be, I
don't think his I don't. I can't think of any of his State of
the unions that were as campaigny vitriolic as that, And i'd yield that point
to you. I just don't remember it being that way. And then I,
you know, so that some of the clips that I saw them airing
to prove the point, they were not very convincing. Remember, the big
takeaway from his State of the Union was Pelosi with her with her cynical clap
and ripping up her copy. And that is what the media was focusing on.
So either you want that or you don't want that. As far as
the decorum breaker, the father of one of the Marines killed during the Afghanistan
withdrawal, that's who was yelling during the speech yesterday. Here that is all
Americans deserve the freedom to be safe, and America is safer today than when
I took office. Year before I took Office murder race went up thirty thirty.
They went up the biggest increase in history. It was then through my
American rescue plan, which every American voted against im mad At, which well
every American should have voted against it, all right. So yes, So
what you have is you have the father of one of the thirteen military members
killed during the Afghanistan withdraw. And it is at the moment where Joe Biden's
talking about safety. I guess that that was that was a bridge too far
for this for this father. And this is this is where we get back
on the disingenuous train. So they somebody they said something to him first.
This is my understanding. They said something to him first, hey stop,
you know, then you hear him again, and at that point they removed
him and they actually charged him. Yeah, they charged him a gold star
father shouting Abbygate United States Marine, thirteen marine, thirteen Marines, I believe
were the three things that he was yelling, and they charged him with a
crime. He's a penalty. It likely will not be on par with the
the J six stuff. But why is this important? Because I saw people
sitting there going, well, look, this is what they do. Is
you know, because it's not a good look, right, It's not.
It's remove him, right, that's the because you know how I am.
I'm like, look, if you want to do a said active civil disobedience,
then you need to be you need to be ready to suffer the consequences,
and those consequences should be uniform across the board because it is. It
is an active disobedience where you're willing to take the hit. You see what
I'm saying. So when you have like Reverend Barber and his cronies getting all
of getting all their cases thrown out for blocking the Senate in North Carolina,
then it's not even an active civil disobedience. The fix is in. So
in this case, remove the guy. Yes, I know, gold Star,
I got it because that is part of the story. The difference is
I saw people going, well, you know, Trump had his people when
the Parkland I don't know if you remember a few years ago Fred Gutenberg,
one of the family members from Parkland. The Parkland shooting brought us David Hog
and everybody else. He yelled during the State of the Union about school safety
stuff. During Trump's and people I saw people comparing this going, see,
this is just how it works. Blah blah blah. Well, Gutenberg was
removed, he was not charged. That's a discretionary thing. It's the same
thing. Like I told you, most people don't realize that parading, this
charge of parading is a thing that is so popular to charge because of the
fact that DC is a hot bed of protests that they literally have a process
where you can pay the bond at that moment and it's fifty bucks, and
so activists literally will have fifty bucks on their person when they were storming the
Senate chamber during the Kavanaught hearing, and then the very same charge was tacked
on for literally months and years of prison sentence for j six. Well,
Gutenberg was removed. He wasn't charged. A decision was made that they weren't
going to charge him because it wasn't a good look to charge the father of
one of the students killed at Parkland, and that is that was not a
not something that was afforded to this this marine father yesterday. So if you
hear on the news people comparing the Gutenberg and what happened yesterday, just know
that, no, they're two very different things in how it was handled.
Once the individual was removed from the chamber. Of course, I suspect very
few media outlets will impart that upon you all right, six forty seven Kcoday
radio programs. So obviously the meat of what we're talking about is State of
the Union. But fear not, we got all sorts of other stuff to
get to. We got bowling stuff, we got boxing news that I'm excited
to talk about. Dude. I so wish I could like rig this to
the storyline that I want, because yeah, we got some ideas and some
history. It's some updated history stuff. Hadrian's Wall. Do you know what
Hadrian's Wall is? So, if you're ever in the UK and you're headed
northward up towards the border of Scotland, prior to you getting there, there
is a lot of historical places to stop to see this wall that was constructed
via you know, end of the Roman Empire. And there's fun debate,
like they'll tell you they in Scotland they'll tell you to keep the English out,
but the English will say it's to keep the Scottish in, and right,
there's but you know it's it's it's a it's pretty crazy. And I
think there's like four there's like four hundred different big monuments up there are little
parts and little parts of this and and former Roman Empire stuff, which is
fascinating because you're in the u K. But I thought I thought I was
pretty learned on this stuff. I didn't know nothing, apparently, and neither
did you. So yeah, all that more coming your way here on the
CaCO Day Radio program. Hey, Casey, you know I love you the
death case, I love you and lost. You guys are awesome. I'm
still trying to get you to do the host of Golnatory debates, which see
I have to disagree with you on this one right here. When it comes
to the day came last night, a lot of Republicans, like myself,
we wanted we are tired of them attacking and attacking and nobody does anything back
when we saw him when he started off, because I watched that garbage.
I had to. I watched him. He started off attacking Republicans right then,
and they just went on and attacking, and I'm like, okay,
okay, no, no, now he's just going outrageous when Republicans started saying
stuff back and a lot of people want things the way and from my view,
Casey, if I'm wrong. Please tell me. You're saying this is
how things should be, but the way things are two different things. Once
they started what they've been doing. You know, people forget they started attacking
George Bush back in two thousand, when George Bush had his first State of
the Unit. I don't want to be clear, I don't. I don't
forget any of that at all. I'm but I'm asking what is it get
you right? Because you're right, you know what you know. But let
me let me ask Let me ask you this. What is more effective that
or going out and having a series of judges that will essentially ignore the law
to pass what you want right? What's more effective in getting your way?
Screaming some during the speech or manipulating the justice system. I'm just saying,
if you want to go there, you have to have both. I's don't
tell you like this, they say you have to have both because of this.
If if the people who are Republican voters are seeing the people who fight
for them just sit there and just sit there and constantly take it, that's
one of the reasons people say they don't like the Republican Party is that we
don't fight. That's one of them, and sometimes you just got to fight.
You if you got a bully, you can't always say, you know
what, I don't want to get suspended. I don't want to, you
know, be put in detention. But sometimes you got to stand up and
you've got to swing on that bullet and you got to put it all into
that bully, trying to stop that bully. All right, let's go and
do this hour number two k CODA radio program. Beating my my microphone into
submission, perfect timing there, Does that sound better? Mister Ross? All
right? Good, okay, AnyWho, let's get into more Biden audio.
Back to the State of the Union, where a lot of the same things.
I'm a capitalist. If you want to make or to make a million
or millions of bucks, that's great. Just pay your fair share and tax.
A fair tax code is how we invested to make this country great healthcare,
education, defense, and so much more. But here's the deal.
The last administration and acted a two trillion dollar tax cut overwhelmingly benefit the top
of one percent. All right, well, actually it showed that it overwhelmingly
benefited the middle class. But rather than just throwing it down, it's the
same idea over and over. Then we get into this back and forth with
Republicans. It's not fair. We have two ways to go. Republicans can
cut SoSE security and get more tax breaks to the wealthy. I will that's
the proposal. Oh no, you guys don't want another two trillion dollar tax
cut. I kind of thought that's what your plan was. Well, that's
good to hear. You're not going to cut another two trillion dollars for the
super wealth. That's good to hear. Protecting strength and social security and make
the wealthy pay their fair share, all right, And what that means is
a six percent additional corporate tax minimum tax rate from fifteen to twenty one percent.
That's what he's proposing. It's not new. And then the rest of
it just give away time, man, But I'm not waiting. I want
to provide an annual tax credit. Who will give Americans four hundred dollars a
month for the next two years as mortgage rates come down to put toward their
mortgages when they buy their first home or trade up for a little more space.
How that actually would play out and what that actually would look like.
I haven't quite seen what his proposal is. But again, tax credits.
That's you know, that's a State of the Union thing. That's not unusual.
What is a little different here is one of the big problems is people
similar to able to afford a home, and there's much bigger issues not to
make the cost of I don't know literally everything. Now buying a home is
more than just buying a home. But then a very extraordinary claim was made,
and this I hadn't heard, but what the hell? The vaccine is
saved us from COVID are now being used to be cancer turning set back into
comeback. So I'm sorry, the COVID vaccine cures cancer? Now where is
I haven't seen this and I haven't even seen a Are you are? Are
they referring to the use of mRNA I like this I'm not aware of If
that's true, that's awesome, and that explains why that dude got two hundred
and nineteen vaccines or something. I don't know. Whatever that number was yesterday
was stupid, But that I'm unfamiliar with. I do know that if remember,
back in the day, Joe Biden was tasked with curing cancer, so
that's always kind of stuck with him. But now I think he said his
wife's going to handle the initiative, doctor Jill, not that kind of doctor.
Don't tell whoopee. But yeah, yeah, So it was it was
kind of all overplace. There was whining about chip prices, Second Amendment stuff.
Here we go, I taught the Second Amendment for twelve years. None
of his violates a Second Amendment or vilifies responsible gun owners. What what did
he mean to say? Did he say he fought the Second Amendment for twelve
I think he did. I caught the Second Amend fort kind of his violates
a Second Amendment or villifies responsible gun owners. The irony, of course,
is it probably does. A lot of the proposals that have been made on
the left do violate it and then summarily have to go through the court process.
And it's known because it's not about a permanent victory. I guess in
the eyes of what Joe Biden and his backers think, it's just you just
got to get it done. A little case in point. You saw the
manipulation that took place of congressional districts in North Carolina and backroom deals, and
you know, lawsuit after lawsuit and special masters that are supposed to be unbiased
and then clearly or not and eventually that all getting knocked down. That's that's
the victory, that's the scrappy, that's the fight right there. You were
able because you were able to mess with one election, right, and what
happened is you got these districts which got turned into blue districts, and then
you know Jeff Jackson and what's her bucket ran and you know Kathy Manning for
the sixty and then they got basically put back to what they were and then
they both screamed, bloody murdered. They part of the jerrymander would be out
of a job. Well you you guys jerrymandered you into it. Now it's
the goose gander thing. Man. So there's a lot of moments, there's
a lot of insanity, but that was to be expected. The total length
of the speech, it was not as short as I think people thought it
was going to be. It was what an hour eight minutes. So anyway
you want to weigh in on that, please do eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four Check this out. And this is not going to
be pay per view, It's gonna be on Netflix, right. I want
to make sure This isn't some new Netflix, no model where they're gonna try
to do pay per view. All right, so here we go. Yesterday
it was announced that Netflix will be getting into the world of live sports.
Okay, all right, look, you got the Amazon does and Peacock does
it. Who most of the other streaming ones do do it to some extent.
This one a little different though, Live from Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
I guess at and T Stadium is going to be another one of these
fake fights. We'll tell you more in just a few other little nuggets of
audio from the State of the Union last night, and specifically on the world
of foreign affairs and all things. Vladimir Putin, well, hold on there
at the button bar there. Okay, there we go. Now, my
predecessor, a former Republican president, tells Putin, quote, do whatever the
hell you want. That's a quote other president actually said that, bowing down
to a Russian leader. I think it's outrageous, it's dangerous, and it's
unacceptable. The whole predecessor thing's weird too. I think they clocked that at
twelve or thirteen times use that particular terminology. But yeah, yeah, all
of the my predecessor stuff, especially if you're going to half truth this thing.
But look, I mean I'm not surprised. I saw yesterday a where
did I put this? See yesterday where we had sorry, just really have
it on my other sheet here, I'll discombobulate because of the mic thing here,
all right, you know it's it's it's one of these. Don't argue
the point, don't argue the issue, don't argue the side. It's the
rig the game. And you know, that's what a lot of people feel
is going on with the indictments. That's what people feel is going on with
the justice system. And frankly, we had our own little example right here
in North Carolina yesterday. So the tweet that was sent out by the Huffington
Post guy, yeah, Jennifer Bendry, which is a dude by the way,
So anyway, he's the one who wrote the article about Mark Robinson then
used the half quote about women voting. So yesterday I'm scrolling on and the
head of the NC Democratic Party, Anderson Clayton, the young woman who's about
a year doing it for about a year, so she's chair of the party.
She literally she sent a tweet out yesterday a quote tweet on that and
said, hey, y'all help me. I rate this reader's note as not
helpful. So this is the community notes, but these are the proposed so
you have to with the proposed. You have to have what's called a birdwatch
account. Our show one is a birdwatch account, so that allows you to
weigh in on the notes before the notes post for everybody. And what you
saw if you look at is you see multiple people pointing out that here is
the full Mark Robinson video. Here's what he actually said. So make your
decision based on this. And the muscle memory reflex on the part of Anderson
Clayton and the Democrats is hey, could you manipulate this not arguing the point,
Hey, my minions, can you go in and manipulate the system which
is supposed to provide context where it is lacking or correct information where it is
wrong. And the solution was not to argue the point that this article,
this hit piece was trying to make, but to manipulate people finding out more
and just openly just rite out there, just hey, y'all, help me
manipulate this thing. And I don't know why. It just irritated me so
much yesterday looking at this that as a Birdwatch account, I who am way
too lazy most days to go in and vote on any of these things.
I went in and I rated them all is very helpful, specifically because they
provide context and I can intellectually defend that position rather than hey, go in
and go in and rig the system. It's just a moral feeling in public.
I even get sending an email to a few people right, do it
behind the scenes. She's just like openly, hey, can you go ahead
and rid this it so we can use it to fundraise, so we can
use it to send around and go, oh my gosh, look at this
so filthy. We'll talk to Pete Klener about it, all right. So
I mentioned Netflix is getting into the live sports. You're ready for this Live
from at and T Stadium, the eighty thousand seat Dallas Cowgary's Cowboys excuse me
Stadium will host the very first Netflix. I don't even know what banner it's
under, for those of you who don't know, Netflix signed a ten year
deal with World Wrestling Entertainment, which also gets into some of the MMA stuff
and a few other things. So to have a boxing portion of it is
I expected that. However, the main card is Mike Tyson and Jake Paul,
the YouTuber turned boxer. I guess he probably still does YouTube stuff.
But so he's gonna fight Mike Tyson, but let's face it, not really
not really gonna fight him. How many how many of you have actually been
entertained by all these quasi weird crossover celebrity boxing slash mma things that that had
been going on over the last few years. Right, Let's get Floyd Mayweather
in there and then nothing really happens. Let's get Connor McGregor in there.
We'll put him up in a boxing ring and then, Yeah, nobody's really
swinging too hard. Even Tyson's done a couple of these money grabs, so
I guess the upside is, at least it's if you got Netflix, it's
going to be part of what you're already paying, so you're not gonna drop
another fifteen hundred bucks on pay per view. But does anyone really think this
is going to be a fight? But with that said, why do I
still want to watch it? Oldest Tyson enough fifty eight, he'll be or
he's fifty seven, he'll be fifty eight when the fight streams. What is
the date on this mess? July twentieth, So we got we got little
ways to go, you got you gotta hype this thing up. Uh yeah,
in the event marks one of Netflix's most ambitious ways into sports programming.
YadA, YadA, YadA. Okay, and then how old is Paul going
to be? Twenty sees twenty seven, so like there's a thirty year age
difference. And it's not that Paul is like he couldn't make his bones just
as a fighter, but he's also not unskilled. But still, man,
I think even a fifty seven year old Tyson wanted to, you know,
put maximum effort into it. I think Tyson has still kicked a crap out
of him and quite a few other people. The battle for the soul of
the nation, a little bit of the democracy stuff and uh yeah, you
know, basically a campaign speech, just arguably a little more than usual.
But also a president who's running for reelection, the preceding state of the Union,
which is generally around the primaries, headed into the presidential you're gonna get
some of the campaigny stuff, so not altogether unexpected, but you know,
just some just some strange moments, and you know, the the the raw
raw after was interesting to watch. I don't you know that that period before
the Alabama Senator got up with the rebuttal, just when the president's walking around
glad handing having weird conversations like the one with Nadler, just some along the
lines of us Nadler going yeah, let him, let him claim cognitive problems
now, and then Biden's like, I wish I had cognitive problems because yeah,
it's an awkward little joke whatever. Some people are making a big deal
about it. I'm more concerned with, like the do you hear the Kennedy
line where he's tall, He's like, I love JFK and Bobby Cuddy.
I don't know who Bobby Cutty is, but I'm pretty sure he means Bobby
Kennedy. So again, if you are willing to, I guess, be
the interpreter you can, you can probably figure out where there was going.
I just I don't know there was anything remarkable, and I don't know that
there was anything different than what are kind of in the camp the campaign points,
but just the the back and forth was so weird with the Republicans and
then the the Lincoln Riley, which of course is meant to be Lake and
Riley, not Lincoln Riley, the head coach of the Trojan football team,
but it was. It was kind of the forced issue due to Marjorie Taylor
Green, go and say your name, Say your name. And at where
we've seen Biden get in trouble with stuff is when he goes off script.
And while it was an awkward moment, I don't know that it's changing any
minds here. That is, by the way, in case you're just joining
us and you missed it because you, you know, thought, hey,
it'd be a lot easier is to shove pencils in my ear tonight. I
can respect that decision, but I am going to force you. It's about
thirty seconds here we go, not really by Lincoln Riley. An innocent young
woman who was killed by an illegal that's right, But how many of thousands
of people being killed by legal To her parents, I say, my heart
goes out to you, having lost children myself, I understand, all right,
You know what he sounds like somebody who's quoting a bad tweet rebuttal or
something. Right, one of those those stupid little points where some anonymous account
will dip in and they'll be like, uh, you know, straw man
this, straw man that, and it's like to hear the president do that,
and then in the next breath start looking around for the parents to give
his heartfelt condolences who are not there, by the way, and it was
a news story that they were not there. That whole thing was just swimming
in the weird man. And then just on the whole immigration immigration bill,
why want Republicans back? It's the strongest ever, Like nobody could at that
point, nobody could keep a straight face. So it was gaslighting to begin,
then awkwardness in the middle. Then he moves on to just kind of
ignores some of the other big points on the whole immigration issue. Did you
see the video yesterday they were interviewing some guy from Honduras who's who's waiting.
He's at the border, he's coming and he's wearing he's wearing a Biden Hairrish
shirt and like somebody filming on the other side of the border is like,
hey man, nice shirt and here I'll translate for you. But listen to
this. There we go, all right, listen, what is with the
button bar right now on that What is that is so weird. Yeah,
no, I can hear it, and then I'm going to strike all of
the computator all right, listen thiss So dude sitting there and he's saying,
oh, the President and the Vice president, I wear it, so they
let me in is what that translates to. And it's like I get Obama
shoe vibes on stuff like that. Man, just just craziness, gas lighting.
Uh, when you get into the safety thing, you had the the
marine father yelling it was a doozy and Pete Callander he's he's going to be
joining us here in just a few he'll help us parse some of this.
I saw he was all over the Twitter yesterday, so he's got some thoughts.
Okay. Meanwhile, speaking of other congressional stuff, yesterday turned into a
bit of a dumpster fire as TikTok started sending literal push notifications as well as
tweets and posts on other social media based on the quote unquote latest TikTok legislation.
This is from TikTok's policy account. Quote our statement on the latest TikTok
legislation. This bill is an outright ban of TikTok, no matter how much
the authors try to disguise it. The legislation will trample the First Amendment rights
of one hundred and seventy million Americans, probably five million small businesses of a
platform they use. All Right. The bill in question, by the way,
bans apps that are controlled by a foreign adversary, not just a foreign
entity, but rather a foreign adversary. And it's very rich that we're having
this argument on the same day that the Wall Street Journal found out that those
cranes at our ports, right, we're offloading all of these goods that we
bought from China. They figured out that they have a secret remote access control.
And this has been a big issue on a crap ton of products,
not just giant you know, tens of millions of dollar cranes at our local
ports, which I mean, think about that. Think about how how tangled
our economy became when the ports were not functioning even at twenty five percent capacity
during COVID, right, and you had all these these ships stacked up,
You couldn't find stuff in stores. All this was going on, and lo
and behold, China would be able just to shut that down feasibly. There
was a vacuum. There's these vacuums that I can't remember what the brands are.
There's a few of them, but they're kind of like dice and knockoffs
come out of China. They found out that they're pinging back to a Chinese
server and there's no re for them too. So yeah, forgive me with
that level of subterfuge. If people have concerns over this. It's not even
just because, you know, once a week I got to hear about some
TikTok challenge like put a squirrel in your butt or eat all this this thing
you're not supposed to eat or go lay in the road TikTok challenge. Right,
not just that stupidity, but the actual of functioning of appliances, the
nation's ports systems, and yes, the flow of information you had. Yet
all of these posts going out. I saw one guy who works in what
is this, Here we go. I think he works in Chip Roy's office.
Yeah, here we go house GOP staffer quote. It's so so bad
our phones have not stopped ringing their teenagers and old people saying they spend their
whole day on the app, but we can't take it away way. Another
poster said that there was confusion among some of the callers because uh TikTok said
to talk to your representative, and they they didn't realize that a congressman and
a representative or the same thing, so that those are heads of mush Man.
So yeah, people are going to have some concerns. I didn't hear
him reference it yesterday, but that is a thing, all right. I
would have got Ken boone back with us for Friday doing this thing. How
you doing, Yeah, oh, that's right, you're on the phone.
It's just a technical nightmare. That's right. We had to punish you and
put you on the phone today. Ken How you doing this morning? I'm
doing well yourself. Well, I'm going to take an aluminum bat to many
pieces of equipment, but not until we're done with people. Right today a
little cooler than we were yesterday. Yesterday we were in the seventies. Today
just looking at load to mid sixties. We're going to be in and out
of the clouds today, and then as we head into and through the first
half of the weekend, it's going to be a pretty rainy half of the
weekend before dry weather builds back in Sunday and into early next week. So
look for showers late tonight, up for forties, periods of rain, rubbles
of thunder heading through Saturday and THENTO Saturday night. High temperatures Tomorrow, low
part of the sixties, sunshine back Sunday. To finish the weekend of Oh,
we'll be a breezy to windy, rather chilly day. High's middle to
upper fifties, but the wind certainly making you feel a little bit colder than
that, and then sunshine and milder as we look to the early part of
next week. Okay, all right, Ken, we'll talk it an hour.
Thank you, sir, appreciate it. All right, there you go,
Ken Boone from the Weather Channel again. Pete calendar, he'll come come
our way eighth five, about twenty minutes away with that. And we got
restaurant news, so I will have to slip that in all on the way
CaCO Day Radio program. CaCO Day Radio program. I mentioned the Mike Tyson,
Jake Paul Thing. Full time fighters are not happy about this because they
realize it's just a it's just gonna be a crap ton of money, and
let's face it, it's probably not gonna be a real match. But let's
see Jake Pauls fought ten times professionally, almost exclusively against non boxers. Did
he fight Tommy Fury? Yeah? I did. That's what I thought.
The problem is there's two polls. You never but Jake's the one that does
most of the primary. But I think his brother did a couple matches too.
All right, Tyson is fifty eight, who will be fifty eight at
the time of the match. Last stop stepped into the ring as Roy Jones
Junior. That was an exhibition and it went eight rounds and they split it.
So it was it was as underwhelming as it could be. And prior
to that he fought Cory Sanders, I think. But yeah, so that
was and what a day to drop that news too, right. State of
the Union tail end of Super Tuesday from an election perspective, still found its
way throughout the news cycle. A couple other things for we'll get back,
don't worry, we'll get back into all things State of the Union with our
buddy Pete coming up here in about twelve minutes. A couple other things.
Two US restaurant chains could be combining. Kind of these would model some of
the like when you go to a Taco Bell slash KFC restaurant or a pizza
hut slash KFC, you know those combos, but into the world of fast
casual in an effort to stabilize two of its brands. This is from the
parent company Dining Brands. The investors were told yesterday that there is a likelihood
that they will combine Applebee's and I Hop locations. So and I guess you'll
be able to order off either menu. That would make sense, I suppose,
And this is not a new concept. In fact, the prototypes have
already been launched internationally, according to CEO John Payton. This is this gets
interesting because you have about four or five companies that really own the majority of
the fast casual brands, right, I shouldn't say just fast casual, but
you have these these big restaurant groups, and when you get into the Applebee's
and the Chili's and the I Hops and all of that, they've been they've
been trying to figure out how to make those more profitable for a while because
people, especially pre COVID. It actually was there was a little bit of
recovery with usage post COVID, but you had people that weren't going to the
Applebee's anymore, and so they saw their numbers going down. I hop saw
tougher numbers. So this allows you to basically have one kitchen that's gonna cut
your staffing costs and more for different brands. But also, I don't know,
it kind of feels weird and what happens when the parent cut Like,
do you want to walk into an Olive Garden that's also a I'm trying to
think of another big fast casual under their brands, but I don't know,
it'd be kind of weird, right, go in and looks like an Olive
Garden on half the building and looks like some other fast casual restaurant. It's
Darden, right, hang on, yeah, I'm trying to remember all the
Darden brands. Let's see here. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so
yeah, so Olive Garden Longhorn Steakhouse would be one of the other brands that
they own. Yeah, I don't know, it just kind of feel weird.
Bahama Breeze and Ruth Chris And so with the parent company of Applebee's here
there are many of the others, including from Darden, who are definitely twin
with this already with some of their international brands and that may soon become the
norm. I don't know if it's a big deal. If anything, it's
more choice. Do you have to ask your wife twice if she wants to
go there? Even though she said she doesn't care where you guys go.
But if you bring it up, that's a no. And you're like,
well, if it's a no, then you do care where we're going.
If there's two brands in there, like, should that appease? So?
I don't know, I am unclear on that. Also, and this is
this sounds horrible. There's a new trend for bowling enthusiasts naked bowling nights.
Yeah, yeah, this is this sounds awful. Let me ask you a
question for you, nude bowling enthusiasts, because of course this has to be
a thing that people want to do. Have you ever been in a bowling
alley and saw any seat in there that you wanted to put your naked butt
on in a bowling alley? Really? But for let's see Pittsburgh. I
used Pittsburgh as the example in this article. Groups of area natureists have been
organizing nude bowling in Pittsburgh. Which if I had to pick which town I
at least want to go to a nude bowling event that might be up there.
Say the events have been an overwhelming success, and they've been their schedule
to do them twice a year for the last three years, and now they're
going to be doubling that. As they say, the sign ups are are
pretty full. We welcome in our radio buddy to the South and also head
coach of the USC Trojans, Lincoln Riley. How you doing, Lincoln?
What's up? Oh? Pete calendar? Never mind, We'll go to Pete
instead. Pete, all right, put that on hold. Oh crap,
and I just drive all right, dude? How many signs does God have
to give us? You want to go? Let's just go. I want
to go. Let's go home. There we go? All right? Uh,
all right, Ross is checking it, checking it twice. All right,
Let's try this again. Man. I had that whole intro so excited.
Radio buddy. Here we go, radio buddy down south and hello,
Hello, can you hear me? Yeah? I heard you. I was
talking to you. I was drawn up. I was drawn up game plans
and stuff, schemes for the offense and everything. Yeah, and all that
with the little I camera. What they call it with the magic pen.
All right, yeah, so yeah, well where do you want to suck?
All right, well, let me start with NBC News Hold on by
I gosh, here we go. Biden stares down questions about his age and
fitness for office with spirited speech. Uh and then subheadline. Biden flowed a
few prepared lines, stumbled a bit during ad libs, but he belied the
caricature of him as an enfeebled old man who needs to retire. Okay,
that's it. That sums up a lot of the more mainstream takes. Yeah,
so let's get the peat take. What'd you think? So the word
of the day starting last night, feisty. The word feisty, right,
yes, feisty is the word because you can't say old man yells at clouds.
So you're going to go with feisty. You were if you are a
Democrat partisan, you love this speech. Right. If you were a Democrat
leaner, you love this speech. If you are not, if you are
more of a centrist or a right leaning or a Republican or conservative right winger,
whatever, anything to the left of the Democrats or sorry, to the
right of the Democrats. I don't think that this speech did much for you.
In fact, this speech may have convinced me to vote for a major
party candidate for the very first time in my life. And it's not Joe
Biden. Yeah, well, because the guy. You don't get to stand
up there and vilify half the country and then turn around and say we need
to be united and come together and I'm a healer. You don't get to
play that. I'm like, I am, I am, I'm not gas
lightable for politicians and so and I recognized the tactic when it is employed,
and that's exactly what he did last night. And this was a loud,
shouty, swarry, angry partisan speech. And everybody wants to give him credit
because he didn't fall up the stairs or call out dead people in the audience,
and so I guess that's a win. But whatever the dosage was on
the drugs that they pumped him full of in order to get out there and
last as long as he did, I feel like they may have overdone it
just a wee bit because he was running too fast. Yes, yes,
in fact, I want to play a piece of audio because, like you
know, Ross was dubbing in all the cuts this morning and I'm sitting there
and I'm listening through him, and I'm like, this sounds like it's the
somebody sped it up. Man. This is yeah, I don't even know.
Well, I think I know what he's talking about. But here's the
cut. Because I'm invested in filas I buy my suck bags. Culcher knows
more about this than anybody I know. We're better able to stay in the
family for those farms and their children and grandchildren want have to leave leave home
to make a living. It's transforming it. Okay, yeah, to turn
it two? Yeah, what he said? Does that feel like it's recapturing
the soul of America, which I believe is afterwards we're using right, yeah,
the struggling with nunciation, which of course then prompts the U the shop
worn excuse. Oh, he was a stutterer, which, of course,
you know, nobody ever said this, Nobody ever talked about this, no
one ever mentioned this stutter for sixty years of this guy's ninety year career.
Right, it was only when he began showing signs of age that this became
an excuse as to why he fumbles lines and messes up and says stupid things.
But anybody who's been paying attention to him for the last you know,
I don't know, twenty years knows that this has always been Biden. He's
always been a jerk, and he's always been this this yelling, shouting kind
of a jerk to people. Right. We saw it when he was running
the first time. You know, look fat right where he said that to
the voter, uh dog supporters, those are people, right, yeah,
and the college kid he called a dog face Tony Soldier. Like, he's
always been this kind of a jerk. And uh so that's not new.
And he's always been really, really insecure, and he's always been a liar
and a plagiarizer and that sort of thing. So none of this was what
none of this is new. So do I give him credit for not falling
off the stage, not falling asleep? Sure, I'll give him credit for
that. I mean, if that's the bar to get over now, as
far as everything else goes, most divisive State of the Union speech I've ever
seen, Like, I don't think the Republicans stood at all for any line
in the speech, and usually you do those speeches trying to find a couple
of lines. Oh they did Okay, so they eight five to two.
Nice, Yes, okay, so somebody did keep track. So the fact
that they could not stand for anything this guy said, I mean, you
could say part of that's on them, sure, even if you want to
split at fifty to fifty, but that still means what. There's forty lines
that he didn't get them to their feet on. It can't all just be
a campaign speech, and in fact, that's what it was perceived as when
you listen afterwards. I stayed up listening to because you know, Joe Biden
walked the floor unable to find the exit, just talking to anybody and everybody
that would come up to him. And they said this was a sign of
his prowess as well, the fact that he was like the last one to
lead. They're turning the lights out and he can't find the ego stro it's
stroke. He's walking around getting told that he did. You know, he
went boom boom in the right place, and good to him. I mean,
that's that's essentially what you get. And if you need an ego feed,
I mean that's the that's the purest moment. So yeah, I'm oh,
yeah, here's the thing. I'm so like frazzled on this. I
agree with you. I expect there's going to be a certain partisan an increased
partisanship when you're talking about the state of the union that's also in the presidential
election year, right, I expect that, and I expect that there's gonna
be a little bit of gaslighting. But like I'm so jaded now, I
think it was everything that I thought it was going to be. Towards the
back half, about forty minutes in, there was some really uncomfortable wandery stuff
and he stopped talking, which wasn't unexpected, But no, I figured they'd
have him, I don't know, his circadian rhythm trained or you know whatever,
to get into this thing. Did he didn't. Didn't he forget to
have Mike Johnson even do the intro too? He did? Yeah? Yeah,
I mean that's you screwed up the first thing. It's the first thing,
right and yeah, And then made them stand there for half an hour
as you wandered around the floor for the ego stroking, you know, Harris
and Johns and standing there unable to do anything because you won't leave the room.
I saw the Spectator dot Com had I think the perfect headline on this
which was the State of the Union is angry, and that's what it was.
It was an angry address. And honestly, for people like me who
have to watch the State of the Union basically every time, don't get to
just tune it out. I watch it, you know, so other people
don't have to watch it, and like you do the same, you bring
the highlights and stuff, and you know for that, you know, I
think the word hero is overused in society, but in your case, I
think it does apply. And the fact that we can discern a tone shift,
I am not sure that we ever go back, and I don't know
if we should, right, I don't. I don't even know if we
should, because the state of the Unions have become so boring. It's just
a laundry list of you know, of I want this spending, I want
this spending. I did this, and my side heres and the other side
does it, and whatever it was, it was a formulaic and boring and
not memorable for anything. And so maybe if we get some more shouting down
of the president, maybe that's exactly what we do need more of. But
I don't know. I just know that, like the course we are on
right now, because it seems like there's a line in the sand here that
was drawn by the president for half of the country, and that's not that's
not a unifying message. I to some extent, I I think that there
are people in the Democratic Party who, because of the way that Trump conducts
himself on stage, I think they feel that it's fire with fire and Biden's
willing to do it for all the reasons we talked about. But also,
like you ever watched the British Parliament that can be damned amusing, right,
Yeah, like like they're able to somehow do that and not you know,
stab each other at the end. So I don't know, maybe maybe we
find a groove. I'm not sure, right, No, And I thought
the same analogy as well. You know, maybe there's something to the British
culture though that that acts as a governor against uh the you know, more
outrageous uh you know behavior or physical attacks or whatever. But yes, I
completely agree that Donald Trump as a standard bearer for the Republican Party means that
you don't get to make the argument that I just made, which is the
blowing up of norms and civility by Democrats at the state of the Union,
right, because that's all they have to do is say what about Donald Trump?
And they are correct, you know, but it doesn't get better now,
right. And I've said with Donald Trump, about Donald Trump and to
his supporters and to his detractors, which is, if you want to go
out and hire the monster or become the monster in order to fight the monsters,
the world just ends up with more monsters. And if that's the way
we want to go, okay, But that's the loss of civility. And
once you start losing the civility, you lose the politics. And if you
lose the politics, then it's just physical violence for power. I just want
to hear the deal. I just want I want to I want to know
that you're probably lying to me, but I want it to be harder for
me to figure it out. Do you know what I'm saying, Like,
like, that's the stuff that you're I want to be able to. I
want to be able to go in and dig around and check stuff and be
like, aha, I knew that you were being shady here, but now
it's just so out in the open. You must have sent a thousand tweets
yesterday. You just enjoy fighting with people. I'm convinced. Man, although
to be care you also you also were like, you're like an idiot attractant.
I don't know. Well, it's sort of like, right, it's
sort of like politicians and the TV cameras. We're not really sure which one
attracts the other. It's sort of like a circular relationship yet symbiotic. All
right, I want to I want to one more thing about the marine father
who was from the state of the Union and was was actually ticketed or was
charged. I saw people that we going, oh, you know, this
is just how it's done. And then they invoked Fred Gutenberg, who was
one of the Parkland parents, right, and what and this is again,
this is why I like to be able to do research for goods. You're
lying to me. The difference is Gutenberg was removed, but he wasn't charged,
correct, Right, He was escorted out of the chamber and that was
it. That was that was the extent of it. So again yet another
example of the duality of justice. Right, So, I mean just every
single day. Well, and to the nudging, right, it gets to
the pushing and the nudging as a tactic in politics, which is in societal
transformation, right, it is you're going to keep nudging and nudging and just
in your face and pushing people. So it's it's obvious that this this double
standard exists and that people get more and more and more frustrated, and then
they react and the action, as sol Olinski taught, the action is in
the reaction, and then you get to use that much like J six has
been used for all sorts of other policy prescriptions, so too will they use
any reaction that goes beyond you know, grumbling online or something. Right,
And I pointed this out before, and you're aware there's so much protesting in
DC that they literally have streamlined some of the charges, Like parading is a
good example. During the Kavanaugh speech, that was that's what people were ticketed
for, and there is a wide vast difference between how that's handled. In
fact, the process is so streamlined that you can pay the bond on site
and it's like fifty bucks or something, So they literally will give the protesters
fifty dollars, they'll bring fifty dollars and then they can pay it on site,
versus the very same charge which was used to add months to jail sentences.
So I mean it's just on steroids. But I got to pivot back
to something because this thing, yes bugged me, so obviously primary election.
I'll get your rundown take there. But the Huffingham post right out of the
gate with the Mark Robinson half quote. And what was crazy is then the
head of the Democratic Party didn't like the fact that a community note was in
the process of getting added people were voting on it, so rather than argue
the point or clarify the position, they decide to rig it. And it's
just it's such a wonderful example of how this works. She tweets out,
can you all help me rate this reader's note is not helpful? Well,
I'm a birdwatch account, so I immediately went in and rated it as helpful
because it is. It provides context. But yeah, exactly, But like,
how do you say that in public, out loud and not realize what
that looks like? Yeah? Yeah, it's supposed to be a natural,
organic kind of a thing. People, But look, I mean that's why
I call them the Democrat Party, right, because you know, rather than
let you know people who come across the tweets, rather than let them decide
for themselves and let them make their choices. No, she's going to like
recruit all of her activists to just overload the system and to try to get
a lie spread. And that's what she was doing because it was a lie.
I mean even you don't have to be a Mark Robinson supporter to recognize
what the Huffington Post did. And we had literally just made the transition into
Tuesday and the midterms, which are not over. We have some runoffs,
but overall, anything really surprising to you. I don't know if there are
any races. I was surprised, even the Moro one I thought was going
to be close. But what about you? Oh no, I did not
expect Michelle Morrow to beat the incumbent superintendent for public instruction. Now, every
Moro was everywhere. That woman was friggin everywhere. And I think with positions
like that that people I don't know if people even if you told them what
is, what does that position do? I don't think people get outline the
duties. So a handshake and face to face I think goes a long way
for sure. Those kinds of races. Well, and as I yeah,
and a couple of the quote unquote experts you know, say that this was
sort of the grassroots beating the quote establishment in the in the party primaries,
and and you know there may be a lot of that going on, sure,
but yeah, but I don't know everybody's reason for voting the way they
have because again, I think you're righting a lot of people don't know what
the superintendent for public instruction does and so people may not even be aware that
Catherin Trud was actually the incumbent. But that being said, like there's a
lot of anger and motivation around K twelve government education policies, and you know,
Cafferin Trud was not perceived to be a strong enough fighter on these issues.
And uh now we're going to find out. I said this after the
election night results, which is it's sort of like the dog that is chasing
the car and now they caught the car. So okay, I know,
like it seems to be very easy to beat the tar out of conservatives and
Republicans. So you cleared the primary. Uh so, now let's see if
you're able to now take on a Democrat in the realm of education with the
assistance of the media that is in love with Mo Green. And I you
know know Mo Green from when he was a Charlotte Mecklenberg School's lawyer. He
was the attorney for the school board, and then he became a deputy superintendent
and then he went up to Greensboro. So he's well, I thought it
was the guy who founded Vegas. Is this a different mo green It is?
Yes, it is true. Yeah, yeah, so you know,
and now he's with the z Smith Reynolds Foundation, everybody's favorite left wing funder,
and so, uh, he's got the connections, he's going to have
all of the money, he's going to have all of the media. And
so now let's see if this message that resonates yes inside a lot of the
Republican Party, does that resonate outside the Republican Party. That's where we're going
to find out. You know what if if you look at some of the
other like in Texas, they what did they house seven seven incumbents, right,
and you saw you saw people that even pulling independence. So I look,
I think school is definitely on the minds of folks, But it doesn't
help when the first article I'm reading from Ril they refer to Michelle Morrow as
somebody who was a January sixth participant. And first what they mean is she
went to the speech, right, but I don't really clarify that. Jeff
Jackson was described as a a requisite bipartisan ground or groundbreaking, requisite bipartisan individual.
Right. You know, you saw what they did to Mark Robinson,
so you know the fixes in from the coverage standpoint, Yeah, Moro is
going to get the Mark Robinson treatment, right, And because she's got enough
of these you know, two three four word phrases that can be peppered into
the WRAL articles like they have right talking about Islam as evil and and you
know, all of these different little nuggets and they just kind of sprinkle them
in and when you compile them in a big list, anybody who isn't paying
any attention, they read the list and they're like, oh my gosh,
this person's terrible. And now after reading the article, they feel like they've
done their research well enough to know who this person is. And that of
course is by design, right, That's why they do the articles the way
they do them. That's why you see the Mark Robinson coverage the way it
unfolds, where everybody just like, oh my gosh, he's denying the Holocaust,
and like, no, he's not denying the Holocaust. No, he's
not saying that Hitler didn't kills six million Jews. He's not saying that,
No, he doesn't. He's not saying he wants to take women's you know,
voting rights away. He's not saying those things. Now, he's not
a politician quote unquote, and he's giving this larger speech in a context.
And when you rob all the context, then you can take those two or
three word phrases and pepper them in. And that's that's the playbook. And
we'll see if Morow is going to be able to get around that. To
get through that, she's going to have to do a lot of face to
face handshaking events. I guess yeah, I think so, and I think
really lean into the school choice stuff. But we'll see. Pete. I
appreciate you sticking around a few more minutes. I just wanted to make sure
that we got some conversation in, but I got to go do this weather
thing, so you know, yeah, all right, all right, you
know how it is. But we'll chat next week. S all right,
I have a good weekend. Thank you for the time. I appreciate it.
All right, there you go, Pete Callender joining us here on the
CaCO Day radio program, and yeah, we'll transition. I I just heard
Mark Robinson denied the Holocaust. I sor hes heard that. I was heard
here. I was said out loud. I yeah, I heard them out
loud. I was working on the podcast, and I swear I heard it.
Yeah, like you're about the nineteenth Amendment. Oh my goshah, I
did. I heard to be fair like sometimes right, but then sometimes I'm
like also mentioned I heard his favorite wrestler was Dink the clown st yeah,
or who is the other clown that used to go down back in the day
They have them on MTV. What was it, Sicko the clown or something
like? What was that dude's name? That would be far more troubling.
He was funny, though, he was like he would before Triumph the insult
comic, like that was the dude? So all right, well, look
Ross heard these things and the words were said, so therefore there you go,
they must be true. Uh, all right, we got Jeff Belinger
coming away here in just a few minutes. There's one other story I wanted
to sneak in here before the end of the show. Where did I put
I put it right here? Okay, we're doing rap videos at the can
I can? I can we all come do music videos at the fire stations?
How does that work? And I thought, I don't know if you
saw this story, because at first I thought, well, obviously they've got
to be I thought they were talking about some like firefighters that were, you
know, waiting for a call and screwing around. But apparently there's a little
bit of a concern and now apologies being made. Here we go and discipline
after five Rawleigh firefighters apparently allowed a music video or facilitated a music video,
some sort of rap video to be filmed at one of the firehouses, this
one on Pool Road. So we'll get to the bottom of that here before
the end of the show. But first, Ken Boone from the Weather Channel.
Ken is standing by ready to round out our week for us, and
let's make it a good weekend. How about that? Well, I can,
I can go fifty to fifty the first half of the weekend, we're
gonna be dealing with some rain. Second half, sunshine builds in Today looks
pretty good as well. It's the clouds and Sunday sunshine out there today.
Not as warm as yesterday. Yesterday we were in the seventies today, looking
at highs in the middle part of the sixties. Showers expected late tonight,
with more rain during the day Saturday. Even if you rumbles of thunder,
it'll be breezy, even windy at times during the day. Saturday high temperatures
are a low part of the sixties, but a much nicer day. Sunday
is to finish out the weekend. Lots of sunshine, although we'll be a
bit breezy to even windy at times. Temperature Sunday afternoon upper part of the
fifties, sunny, and a warming trend as we head through the upcoming business
week. Okay, all right, we'll have a good weekend, sir,
and we'll await his return next week. All right, sounds good, You
have a good weekend. Yeah, there you go, Ken Boon from the
Weather Channel. All right, so Jeff Bellinger comes our way. I'll give
you the four to one one on the Wrap video and Ross thinks he won
five thousand dollars or something stupid thing. All right, So there we go.
Jeff Bellinger joined us. Sorry I was stalling a little because my phone
pots being stupid. But it's been a crazy week between elections and state of
the Union. So I'm going to need you just vanilla. Okay, don't
shock anybody. We can't take it anymore, Jeff. So, okay,
Well we have The Labor Department's monthly employment report is the lead, and that's
the big story on Wall Street this morning, Casey, the Labor Department says
two hundred and seventy five thousand workers were added to payrolls last month, but
there was a sharp downward revision to the January payroll report. It was originally
reported the three hundred fifty three thousand jobs were added in January. Now the
Labor Department says the actual number was two hundred and twenty nine thousand, so
that was actually the numbers were stronger last month than they were in January.
The nation's unemployment rate did rise to three point nine percent in February, up
from January three point seven percent. Stock market futures have been all over the
place this morning. Right now, they're a little bit higher. S and
D futures are up fourteen points, Nasdaq futures are up thirty eight in the
Dow futures or up twenty six. The market did get some help yesterday from
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He told the Senate Banking Committee the Central Bank
is not far from having the confidence it needs to start lowering interest rates.
Draft Kings continues its expansion. The sports betting company will launch its online sports
book in North Carolina on Monday. With the opening, Draft Kings, mobile
betting will be available in twenty seven states. Boeing's recent problems having an impact
throughout the aviation industry. United Airlines will not be hiring as many pilots as
it previously expected this year. The carrier says it does not expect to receive
the eighty new Boeing jets it was counting on, so it pulled those planes
from its plans. Now says it will slow its pilot hiring. Warner Brothers
Discovery making some big changes to one of its cable channels, True TV,
which had focused on court cases, will feature more sports and casey. You
have lots of company if your phone is in need of repair in all state
protection plans. Survey shared with USA Today found nearly a third of American smartphone
users damaged their phones in the last year. Broken screens the most common problem,
and replacing a screen costs on average about three hundred dollars since the iPhone
was introduced in two thousand and seven. This is an amazing figure. Since
two thousand and seven, Americans have spent nearly one hundred and fifty billion dollars
on smartphone repairs and replacements. Casey, Yeah, that sounds about right.
That's probably what five iPhones. So there you go. All right, there
you go. Appreciated, Jeff, have a good weekend. Okay, you
do the same. Talk to you Monday. All right, there you go,
Jeff Fallingser, Bloomberg News. All right, we'll get back into this
five rally firefighters will be disciplined or music video was filmed at a Raleigh firehouse
on Pool Road. Let's see. According to the Raleigh Professional Firefighters Association,
we're aware of disciplinary actions issued to the members we represent for the incident that
occurred. YadA, YadA. All right. So here's what it was.
A video by local rapper CEO. Showout is the name. There. I
showed flashing lights from the fire trucks parked inside the firehouse for the new single,
which is called fire Drill. So I understand the location I'm really wanting.
So like the dude, just know somebody and was like, hey,
can I film the trucks with the lights on? I understand why you got
to have, you know, rules surrounding this, but and I don't know
what the city of Raleigh has, can you. I'm assuming that they have
a way in which you can go through a process permitting, probably a payment
process to be able to utilize, you know, public facilities for filming TV
shows or rap videos or whatever whatever it may be. But it doesn't sound
like that's what happened here. So when when Wril reached out to CEO show
Out, the rapper did not initially respond to Aril, but posted stories on
Instagram saying he asked permission for filming. Quote, I'm just trying to figure
out how it's an investigation. I literally asked to do it. I didn't
do nothing wrong. And I guess if he asked and they told him no,
then maybe he didn't. But yeah, for the firefighters, probably not
right. Not going to end well. And one other thing, and I
was reading about this yesterday. You probably saw this week that like a bunch
of like five thousand people showed up at the airport in Haiti and they're you
know, they're big mad. Obviously turmoil down there. You had one of
the former leaders was recently assassinated, and if you think it's just more of
the same, it kind of is. But I was fascinated because I was
reading what they were actually demanding, and I didn't realize the amount of One
of the things you got to know about Haiti is, even though they've plundered
most of their natural resources i e. Looking at you trees, they continue
to have a One of the largest gold mines in the world is in Haiti,
and it used to be run basically only by the Haitians, but in
the expanse of it, they actually brought in foreign partners and now it's almost
like a full split. And that's what their beef is. They're like,
Hey, this is our gold. Why are we sharing fifty percent of the
profits with foreign entities? But then I saw who the foreign entity is ross
any You want to guess who has financial interest and management interest in the gold
mine down there? George Soros, The Clintons, Oh, the Clintons,
Yes, you remember they went down they built those five lovely houses. They
were build very expensive homes. Yeah, very expensive homes. Yes, not
only not only does the Clinton Foundation as well as the individual Clintons, including
Hillary's brother who holds a board seat, have a financial interest. But also
they were six hundred acres or square miles donated to the Clinton Foundation to the
Clintons, and ten thousand acres that was half donated and half purchased at way
below rates, which I can't imagine what those are in haiti by Hillary's brother
who now sits on the board down there. So thought i'd leave you with
that heart warming, heartwarming tail. I mean, had tentacles in everything,
dude, just craziness. And Ross had a bet or want to make a
bet that Joe Biden had shout out the bills and I was just re listening
to his mumbly thing. I think you could make the argument you won your
bet, dude, So would that himate it all palatable for you if you'd
just given one bills mafia? Or do you think you think it would come
across as disingenuous? I bet he couldn't figure out where Buffalo is, man.
So there you go. The week, The week that was
