Have we do. We have our collection of leftists Twitter postings explaining why they're
not going to celebrate Fourth of July because history or whatever. Have those started
to emerge yet? Those are my favorite every year around the Fourth of July,
where I got to listen to some diatribe by somebody who was never in
captivity or and it pointed at people who never did own other people and why
it's also just so unfair, usually penned from a home that I will I
will never be able to probably tour complaining about all this country has to offer.
And don't get me wrong, there's beef. There's there's reason to have
beef or a country that's formed on beef, right, So you know we'll
be looking for those we already had some. We already had a fireworks that
mishap. Nobody had a fireworks A garage full of fireworks did not go well.
So uh yeah, we're off to We're off to a typical start.
But I realized I hadn't seen any of the Hollywood stars and why they hate
America things yet, so and I don't know, maybe it's a weird time
to do that. There is a report this morning by the New York Post,
and I want you to I want you to understand why it's not.
It's not a crisis of conscience. Maybe you know what, I'll hold out
that maybe it is for one of them. Twenty five House Democrats reportedly preparing
to call for Biden to end re election effort. Now, if you look
to see who is on this list, we don't know the totality of it.
And again this is this is reporting based on source within the within Biden's
campaign. There's not names out there, but there's a lot of details.
And they're not the only ones reporting it. The twenty five are. I'll
give you an example, and yesterday we saw Lloyd Doggett, who is a
Texas Democrat. He was the first. Others include let's see Jared Golden,
who represents a district in Maine, Marie Perez from the state of Washington,
and obviously twenty some more. You'll you'll you'll notice their districts are purple or
red in most instances, there's a couple plus let's see what is that the
Washington district is what plus three Democrat. These are folks who realize that there
is a high likelihood that they lose their seats, okay, And these are
folks who have been in Washington, some of them for a very long time,
who knew what was up everybody did, and didn't feel it necessary to
get into it then. And it's not easy. Look, I understand it's
not easy because the way Washington works that money, so much of it is
controlled by the you know, things like don't orry, I've got the Dolly
part and pay for everybody we're going to get into it. Yeah, controlled
by like you know, the the the Senate, Senate Electoral Committee or whatever
it is. Where you get you know, you get a giant amount of
money. The parties have money, and if you fall outside of it,
you start to go and roague. You may not have access to it.
So you know, that tends to be the motivator here. But these are
folks who are sitting there and looking at the writing on the wall. Now,
whether that will do anything, I don't know, but I'm not surprised.
And uh, we'll see. I guess they're going to have, let's
see a meeting because you know, it's the fourth of July recess right now,
so they're going to have some sort of meaning. I'm not sure when
it is. I thought they had it in the article here, but maybe
I skimmed past it. And you know, who knows what it is that
the Biden folks can tell them or tell these uh these these these uh members
of Congress are sitting there looking at the poll and go, this is really
bad for me. Yeah, here we go, I guess they're saying.
And you have the governor's meeting they were talking about. Yeah, the White
House indicated the meetings between Biden and congressional leaders are in the works. Uh,
in addition to the House or the Democratic governors. Uh, that meeting
is take place today. I saw that they try to get Roy Cooper's office
to talk about it, but he did not in any of the reporting I
saw, unless he said something late last night. And remember he was one
of the names on the short list for maybe being a candidate for president or
vice president if you could figure out the Kamala Harris mess. So, yeah,
even though it's fourth of July weekend or week and then into the weekend,
it's it is proving to have a lot of news emerging. For sure,
where is this? This is the one you know, and all of
that's going on and this is the one that is most interesting to me.
I didn't get it. I didn't get a chance to ask Ross. Could
I I asked you a quick question this morning. Are you the prophetic,
foretold new leader of France? Is that you? Because somebody got the sword?
Man, I don't know. I don't know. If you guys know
this. France has their own ex caliber. It's it's a big tourist attraction.
The Durandall's sword, which has been secured up on a ledge stuck in
a rock for thirteen hundred years. Somebody got it. I want to say
it was one of Charlemagne's knights who put it there, and then whoever back
in the eighth century at least this is the story. Who knows, maybe
a guy named Pierre put it there fifty years ago, but it basically has
the same legend that the sword belonged to Roland, who maybe you've heard of
if you're in any of the knight's lore. And whoever was able to remove
it from the stone, is you know, should be in charge of the
Gauls. So I didn't. I don't know who got it, but they're
not. They're very upset. But two, why would they be if that's
your legend. Wasn't that the whole thing with the sword and the stone.
Everybody lined up for miles to try to tug that thing out. So you
issued the challenge with your whole narrative, and then you charge people to go
go see the thing. Now, granted you didn't want them tugging on it,
but these are your rules. French town of what's the name of the
town, raka mondor Roka Mador, which I'm totally butchering. But and and
by the way, this is not an easy sword to get to. This
thing was like one hundred feet up on a sheer cliff where a part of
a castle was kind of carved into it. I hope La Penn shows up
at her next rally holding the sword. I didn't even think of that.
Oh maybe so bad because right, she's literally Hitler, right, I believe
it's the narrative. Yeah, yeah, she's female hitler. Yeah yeah,
yeah, most of the Okay, so you didn't get it. You're not
the ruler of France. No, I've been staying away from lakes. I've
had enough of those swords. Yes, I knew you had a problem,
But Durandall described as indestructible and the sharpest in the world. So it's like
doors hammer sort of like, don't you know, if you're worthy, you
can pick it up. Yeah, it's ex caliberts Thor's hammer. It's all
of those things. So like, why would you be upset that somebody got
it? Obviously? Uh, the legend has been fulfilled. I just went
lapen up there at a podium, just holding it and not even like acknowledging
it right around and like messing with her hair, using it to turn pages
of her speech. Right, Oh, I received a letter, let me
open it. Yeah, I don't know. Man, somebody got the sword,
and does that get you an olive garden discount? I didn't even think
of that. If the Green Jacket does a legendary sword of you know,
selecting the king probably has to write some sort of discount. And if you
are the leader of France, you immediately go capture Italy. Right, these
are the things you got to think about when you're suddenly in charge. So
anyway, whoever got it, good on you? What is that? Okay?
There's literally even instances that people trying to go get the sword, Well,
obviously they were unworthy. So I think that's what we can extract from
that. All right, So do you guys know the Dolly Parton story?
Oh? Boy, Ross, do you know the Dolly Parton story? I
don't think I Do you know that Dolly Parton has a She's got a One
of her programs is a book program. Yeah, Lincoln receives a book like
every month. Oh really, Okay, that's good. Yeah. She'd been
doing that for since like the nineties. And the reason she did it is
her father never learned to read. She grew up in one of the poorest
counties in the South and so she decided, you know, and as a
little girl, for her, the ability to get a book was such a
big deal because of, you know, the financial situation of the family and
the funding that they had for schools back in the day in the county she
lived in. So since nineteen ninety five, this book program, let's see
here, called Imagination Library has operated for three decades, operates not just in
the US, but also UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia, and
has actually been peer reviewed, studied, proven to help drive up literacy rates
because of the areas and the ways in which they try to get books in
the hands of kids. So Lincoln gets a book. So what what is
your opinion of the program? What would you say? Good program? I
wouldn't say it was a bad program, and you would say it's white saviorism,
and I would I would not have said that. No, Well,
someone over at UNC did. Yep. Yeah, a paper has been published
accusing Dolly Parton of white saviorism and reinforcing hedero normativity. That monster, and
of course it had to emulate from the University of North Carolina. So yeah,
that's just one of the many stories we'll touch on coming up here on
the CaCO Day Radio program. How far down the list are you if you've
decided the next target is Dolly Parton? Like, is are there people who
hate I mean there obviously are are there people who hate Dolly Parton outside of
some moonbat at UNC. Has she ever been involved in a scandal? I
can't think of one. And she's not overtly political. She avoids it.
But that didn't stop. Uh. Let's see who's the publisher of this paper.
Speech and language pathologist Jennifer Stone at the University of North Carolina, published
by unc AS, searched that Dolly Parton's philanthropy. This, uh, this
now three decade old literacy program, let's see here, is potentially dangerous and
smacks of white saviorism. Considering the program began in the county in which she
grew up in, which would I remind you, is one of the poorest,
and then expanded from there this is Sevier County. I don't know if
I'm pronouncing that right. How is that white saviorism? Because the books go
to kids of all backgrounds. If anything, you could argue, well,
why did she choose to start it in this county which is very white county
because she's from there? But I understand your dishonesty. The program, which
has benefited kids not just in the US, but all over the UK,
Ireland and many other places like it has the good Housekeeping Seal of approved.
Does that carry Waite any more of the good housekeeping seal of approval? I
don't know. She's She's gotten so many literacy awards. There are studies that
prove the program has helped literacy rates. The problem is, uh, the
program is here we go. The program is oppressive. I think you'll understand
what the problem is here. The the program smacks of white saviorism is a
white privilege heteronormativity and operate under the assumption that families, because it is a
family based thing, is a pathway to literacy and educational success. The the
media is in full purge mode. Man who whatever you want to call it,
and it's and and it's purely self serving right one. It's not just
about the presidency. And that's what people need to understand. They would be
willing. I think that there's a lot of people to be willing to leave
Biden in and just take their medicine if if the House and Senate weren't imperiled.
That's the that's the game change. You get a Republican president in there,
you have control of the House and Senate, and even though you you're
not gonna have the sixty votes in the Senate when you get into spending stuff,
remember you don't need that for a lot of things. That's not a
one hundred percent accurate statement, but you've seen right where they can move stuff
through because it is budget related. And that's that's the nightmare scenario, both
the ability to do that and also kind of wield where the moneys go or
cut off the spigot. If they actually had the stones to do it in
a lot of instances, so now they are absolutely terrified. And whether it
is these democrats, these twenty five House members who are sitting in very vulnerable
districts, whether it's a New York Times is reporting that Barack Obama and private
is telling people that Joe's cooked man. And remember he put out that whole
tweet about just show you how disingenuous all these people are. They Oh,
no, a bad debate, that doesn't mean anything. No, everything's fine,
And and then behind the scenes is just like this is this is awful.
I mean, I've seen this from friends on the left. You know,
their progress when it comes to thinking about this debate, where the first
few days it was like, oh, it was just a bad debate,
people will move on, and now you have it cold, you had a
colder like you know, just it'll get better, or just a debate,
and not realizing the historical significance of what happened, whereas it was such a
bad debate that they're not only considering ticking him off the ticket, but maybe
forcing him to move over and resign. Well, yeah, I mean I
don't know that they can per se and you know what did you see that
Hunter Biden sitting in on the strategy meetings at the White House and the aides
are like, what is going on? And like I've said, I've never
seen I mean, we know the media does this right where they're moving in
lockstep, but I mean the knives are now out and you know it's not
do you know what? Yesterday was the anniversary of Night of Long Knives?
What was it? Really? Yeah? In that wild huh? And actually
today would still be part of it because it took place over about forty eight
hours. But anyway, Yeah, to your point, yes, absolutely,
man, absolutely, And the thing, the thing that is not getting enough
attention but should is this is well one of the Biden things self made.
But that decision to check openly tell people you're checking boxes, to put Kamala
Harris in as the vice president even though she is objectively awful, because we
I'm gonna choose someone. We're gonna have the first black remember, right,
so I'm gonna choose a woman and a person of color. They said it,
they set it out loud. Is now styming their ability to move past
that is if Kamala is right in the sense that if if you just throw
her to the wolves too, black voters aren't going to show up. Now
that's not to say all black voters like her, but it's the it's the
optics of the thing, and that is one hundred percent self inflicted right there.
What is your take on the parent eternal Democratic polling numbers that came out
yesterday where they were showing the electoral map and why the panic is actually happening?
Do you think those So the map Ross is talking about is somebody made
a map and they wherever they could, they made it a red state,
which means those states had to either be polled red for Biden or within the
margin of air. And when you look at that map, you see what
forty five red states like five blue states California, New York, Illinois.
That's the one you're talking about, right Whereas this is how bad it could
get. Yeah, that's a strong visual man. Well yeah, Well the
numbers that went along with that map as well, because they'd a number you
know that corresponded to it, and they apparently it's their internal polling and it
shows why they're panicking so much. Well, that's he's losing like every swing
state or I think when Virginia he led by like half of a not even
half, like a quarter of a percentage point or something. Stupid. Yeah,
the only the only state in there that's not a coastal state is Illinois,
that where it's still blue. Every other state not touching an ocean is
red. And only California, Oregon, state of Washington's in play. Just
here, just here where a California Oregon. And then you know, like
a handful of states on the East coast that you're just new You're never gonna
flip right New York. Right, it's just not Connecticut. It's not happening.
But yeah, but that's weird, ross because I heard that, I
heard other internal polling. Here we go. This from the campaign shows that
the president's support is unsh changed following the debate, virtually identical to polling they
did in mate. So that's their internal polling. It right from the Biden
campaign, right, for the Biden campaign. Correct, Yeah, not the
parties internal polling, but the campaigns, I mean, not their numbers,
but the ones you're talking about with the map where it shows that they're like,
you know, it's a dire situation. It would explain why people like
Brian Stilter are in complete panic mode as well, and just incomplete. I
mean they've gone from covering his ass for nearly four years, right, protecting
him, sheltering this guy, to suddenly being like you need to leave.
What happened? What happened? Yeah, besides the big performance, I mean
what happened is they realized it's not just the debate performance. It's that this
guy's got to do another debate if he stays in remember, right, and
this guy has to be the president. But more so than between the hours
of ten am to four pm. Well that's when that's when things happened,
So you know, just ten to four and it's it's actually worse than that.
The New York Times piece also said that during the prep right cause,
their excuse yesterday was he's been running all over the world. And somebody pointed
out that he was at Camp David for like a week ahead of the debate.
And now we find out that during the debate prep he had they allocated
nap time for him in the afternoon. They said that he got up every
day during that prep time right at by eleven o'clock and then he took a
nap in the afternoon, yep, which you know, that sounds like a
good schedule to me, but I'm not the president, so just wild.
And then we got people that are mad at Dolly Parton. What a crazy
day, dude. We got some audio we're going to get into as well,
and I think it will underscore why there is continued panic. But first,
let's go to some calls. Donna, you're up first, go ahead,
Hi, Casey, good morning. He totally caught me off guard.
So two things. A hunter is hanging close to his dad. He's protecting
his interests to make sure that he's still president so he can pardon them after
his federal trial. Well but but but actually it speaks to a much stronger
thing. The reason that they that Hunter Biden is there and Jeel's there is
it's it's exactly what happens. They don't trust they're the people around them.
They think they're trying to undermine them. So the paranoia portion of this is
already set in, which is wild. All right, What was the other
thing? The other thing is the Dolly Parton story. All he has to
do is hire black and brown atheistic drag queens to read to little kids about
gay men adopting cross eye conjoined very babies. That's all. How often do
you come across one of those? Thanks for the call there, d Is
it a lottery situation? I don't know. Man. There's one other line
in this story that basically, here atlea just summon up for you. Basically,
by giving these these kids books so that they, you know, have
the same opportunity as families with means, it creates a It creates a narrative
that, uh, literacy, reading and traditional family structures are are a good
thing. It is reading not a good thing anymore, because I'm I'm really
confused. I understood reading was fundamental, I we I. But also I
was raised on a generation where a dude from Star Trek every week or every
you know I he would sit there and share books with me, and then
you get excited about books. I was raised in a generation where we would
get this this vividly colored month. Every month we get this this little catalog
for kids, and it had mostly books but had a ton of other cool
stuff, and you know, you go home and you'd be like, ah,
I can't what can I do to go ahead and get some of this
stuff? And like that was and then your stuff would show up, your
books would show up. But it was a lot of that was amazing.
So how did we go from Yeah, you should probably know how to read.
It'll be a good thing too. Why are you trying to uh put
these kids in molds? I would, I would, I would ask this
author to start her own program that takes books from kids and see which one
gets more public support. Right, So, like, ah, I heard,
I heard Ross, I heard that your son has a has a bunch
of books in the house. Is that true? Well, we're gonna come
take those, can't have those? You should probably burn them too, right,
just to be safe. After you've after you removed the books from people's
homes, you probably want to burn them and do it in a very visual
way. Have like a giant book burning and then give speeches. You tell
me, like a like a book burning for the children, for the children,
Yes, for the good of the children, getting those nasty books away
from them with ideas and stuff. What are you talking about? Does Lincoln
have a favorite book? By the way, because I was reading something it
didn't make it into the articles or reading some of this other stuff. And
basically they're they're saying that what your child's favorite book is may give you some
insight into whether you're a horrible parent or not. It's like, if your
kid likes a book that you know, like a classic, probably horrible.
You guys have a favorite book and I read it to them every single night
before he goes to bed, and it's getting like tiresome. It's The Art
of War by Sun Zoo. Yes, yes, okay, that is a
classic. I feel like this undermines the point that I'm trying to make.
Can you imagine you just read your kid that? I mean, I don't
have to imagine, I do it? Well, I no, I understand.
We have the one for children. It's a pop up book, but
I mean it's it's the same the same words in the book, but just
comes to pop ups of it. So what about the part where you genetically
alter the society you've conquered. Isn't that a little heavy? Reading Genghis Khan
on the locals? We might have the abridged version, Okay, all right,
well man, you couple that with the you know, the French sort
of destiny and uh, you're ready to go. We actually alternate every other
day. First, it's the Art of War, and then he's asked me
to read this new book, and it's just, you know, I try
to go along with his interest. You, I want to encourage him.
So the other one is The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump. Oh
my gosh, so art your kids into art? Yeah, it's passion.
Yeah, big fan of art. Okay, the Heart of the Deal,
Art of War, Bobby, what more do you need? Oh, man,
Sue, what's up? Yeah? Hello? Okay, Hello, Hi.
Yeah. I had a question for everybody is owing him, oh Biden?
Now have you noticed Obiden? Yeah? I just heard it. Yeah.
And they act like they don't know what they're saying, because they make
no comment before or after saying it. They just you know, they just
call him, you know, o'biden. Huh. I mean, are are
you referring to the media or just the the the supporters or former supporters,
even even the congressmen, even important people in Washington. One of them said,
who's in who's in charge? They said, because o'biden is obviously not
in charge. Well, I think that Barack Obama or people that formerly and
thanks for the Calders who that were around Barack Obama are pulling a lot more
strings than uh than people realize. So I think Chris Matthews recently said that
the Bill Marshaw, Yes, did you see a clipper? He slipped and
he said Obama instead of Biden. Yep. Yeah, yeah, it's these
are all things that at the very least these media folks suspected, if not
outright new. It's too small a circle because you know what it Also the
other thing that makes them really mad is this is reflecting on them because people
sit there and go, how did you not know this? Why have you
been telling me? The other thing like this is they're upset too because it
it thrust them into the cooker as well. Yeah, not that most of
them shouldn't have been cooked already, but it definitely has opened some eyes up
from some real diehards. Not that the person yesterday was like, oh he
had a cold, it was fine. I don't know if that's fixable.
I think you're just gonna have to wait that out. But you know,
for I think other folks, because it then it said, then it says
what else are they not telling me? And and maybe you take somebody who
was very apolitical and just believed everything you said, and now they start looking
into stuff. Wait until the journalists and the normies find out about Biden's corrupt
business deals. I don't know what you're talking about. Is that a thing?
Can you imagine? Yeah? I don't know where did all this come
from? What Baba Husky? You should you should mix that into Lincoln's reading
schedule. Just read the transcripts from the Herd interview if we ever get it,
so that'd be amazing. All right, six fifty, We're going to
take a break. Hang on, you know this is this is not going
to be real journalism. But I don't know, not that he's going to
do real journalism, but I wonder if George Stephanopolis is going to be the
dude to put him down right, Like, is the interview to save him
or is it to push him out of the way, Cause, you know,
Stephanopolis has famously done interviews, Well, he did an interview with Biden,
did He's done interviews where it's it's clear he still works for the Why
House, Okay, or the Clintons for that matter. Absolutely nobody, nobody
buys it when George Stephanopolis is selected to do an interview, especially if there's
trouble in Paradise the fixes in Man and it's not even gonna be a live
interview, but apparently that's going to be the first post debate interview they're going
to do. Now, ask yourself, why wouldn't they do it live?
Isn't this about proving as Jake Tapper was talking about yesterday, where you're suggesting
that the president do a two hour press conference, like the reason his reasoning
was that'll show him, right, if things are really okay, do this
and that'll show them. And so you're gonna do this interview with Stephanopolis and
you're not gonna do it live. That defeats the whole purpose. What's the
point because they can edit it to make it look like whatever they want it
to look like. So which way are they going to try to frame the
interview with Biden? You know what it feels like? Remember the the interview
that NBC reporter did with the senator from Pennsylvania following you know, when they're
like he's on the campaign trail, everything's fine, right, and she's just
like, wow, that was not good. And remember they tried to eviserate
this woman. If your Stephanopolis, you know, just integrity would dictate you
say no this has got to be a live interview because the point of this
interview is to show that the debate was an anomaly. I'm also curious for
a politician and you see how much damage that a single debate can do to
you, Like, does that bring about a little anxiety? I don't know.
Well, see, I'm sure Mark doesn't care. Obviously he rolled into
that that city council meeting with them in Vigor to use some terms we were
using yesterday. A few things. Let's let me just get into it.
By the way, this is a weird phenomena that I notice now and I'm
just going to point it out because I don't know, maybe it interests you.
There is this weird core of folks who got beef with Travis Kelcey and
Taylor Swift just like in totality, and they're kind of operating like journalists fact
checkers around Donald Trump, where they're like, we have to put a list
together of the lives. We got to do this, so anything and everything
that comes out of his mouth gets this weird fact check. And I've noticed
that now you have people that are like anytime Travis Kelcey does an interview and
talks about Taylor Swift and things that happened, or the first time she went
to the stadium and he was doing an interview the other day and he said
that she's just so down to earth and you know, it doesn't make a
big deal and she just she showed up and just went through, didn't have
a bunch of security. Was just a normal person, right, And that's
what he really likes about her. And it's like, I don't even like,
I don't care. I don't I don't care whether I believe you or
don't believe you. But you have like then people who are running out every
time something is said, and like they got video receipts. There's like photos
of a giant security entourage and she's in like a Carmen san Diego disguise,
and it's like every little thing. So these are this is people's passion now,
just following these two around and trying to pick apart any stories they tell,
and you could tell it really bothers him, like I you know,
I could it could impact his productions. About to say, I hope it
doesn't affect his performance in the field. I'd be a share. Yeah,
you don't want to see that, huh. I wouldn't be fair. Yeah,
it's just funny what people get all puffed up over. By the way,
this story I gotta share with you. You guys know Chet Hankins a
Chet Hanks, Chet Hanks of course, the very strange son of Tom Hanks.
This is the dude who all of a sudden had a Jamaican accent for
no reason. In fact, do we saw that in the system. No,
I was just looking for it. Can't find it. Oh man,
what a tragedy. So anyway, yeah, so he and he was like
the unofficial White Boy Summer, the kickoff, the thing and the whole dude.
The dude is strange. That being said, I don't know that I've
ever seen anything like this. So apparently chet Hanks was doing enough, so
much cocaine that other addicts and his dealers reached out to friends and family to
get him to slow down. How bad does your habit have to be if
your dealers is doing your intervention. Yes, that is crazy, man.
And he doesn't say how much that is, but I'm going to assume it's
it's more than that baggy that they found at the White House, probably all
at once. Now, he did actually go to rehab following a couple incidents
and uh, obviously intervention by your dealer. Well, but that's the thing.
If you're a dealer, I understand why you're you're in a rock and
a hard play. It's one thing if you got somebody who's just somebody,
right, Yeah, but this guy's spending so much money. Well but he's
not just that he's spending so much money, but also you can bet your
butt that if he od's on your stuff, they're gonna find the Hank's family
will bring that power to bear. And you're not just out of business,
you're probably never out of a prison again. So you know you're walking a
fine line right there. Man. Uh, Hank's after a couple of incidents.
One where he trashed a hotel room. Well that's you know, that's
standard star stuff, even if he's not a star. And two apparently he
smoked a bunch of crack and was following a dell around trying to hook up
with her backstage, and she she wouldn't having it, so probably because she
realized he's on all the cocaine. So yeah, that is still wild little
story man. All right, let me let me get over to this.
We have. By the way, we have a couple we have a couple
religious artifact stories that we're gonna have to get into today. So pretty excited
about that. So the President out with his teleprompters. By the way,
they've adopted and this is really going to annoy me. Not the not that
Biden said it, but it's it's clearly the narrative that they've decided to go
with. And yesterday I had to hear one of the campaign flax try to
invoke Chumba Womble lyrics as the driving really the driving attitude within the campaign.
You guys remember thumping chumbawamba, Yeah, yeah, get I get knocked down
and get back up again. Yeah, So that they were literally he was
invoking those words he gets knocked down, he gets back up again and something
mouse from the song if you're having a deep dive Chumba one, but you've
got bigger issues son, Well I was. I thought, who was it?
Maybe it is Andrea Mitchell or somebody where somebody maybe maybe somebody in MSMB,
MSNBC, and they're talking about how you know, well, this is
the story of Biden, right, he always gets knocked down and then when
he's at the very bottom, he finds a way to bring himself back up
and overcome and his it's a His story is a story of personal triumph and
perseverance and blah blah blah and uh and getting hammered in a bar and then
getting in a fight, which, if you listen to the song, is
part of that. So did Joe Biden get hammered at a bar and get
in a fist fight in a pub? That would be interesting and then if
you won, you would want to post that video. Right Like he rolls
into a waffle house at three in the morning and starts one of those brawls,
comes out victorious. I feel like you would use that as evidence that
he's still good to go. Yeah, but if you're the guy who got
beaten down by Joe Biden, you have to move like you can't. It's
over. There's no coming to be a plant. Let's just be honest.
I was It's like a job or in the w w Oh yeah, absolutely,
yeah. You bring in a few of those guys right to uh,
you know, take a little little soft chin music and roll. By the
way, this was not did you see uh? Was it? Uh?
Which was it? Strickland Sean's you see Sean Strickland and that Navy seal.
Look, that Navy seal could probably kick the crap out of about ninety dying
percent of the people he encounters. But what a difference with a trained you
know, with a trained MMA fighter. That was brutal. And to the
seals credit man, you know, he was there for it. He wouldn't
tapping out. He was gonna go all the way. But that was a
crazy video floating around out there today. Sorry, I just got distracted.
I got all these little stories, a little crazy. We're gonna go to
FLOORA to like I said, we got religious artifacts stuff. So let's be
kind of one of those bounce around days. Uh let's see here. Let
me let me get into the Joe Biden audio because every time this now happens,
the amount of scrutiny is going to be ratcheted up. And one of
those things that happens on the regular is Joe Biden unable to function without a
teleprompter, only kind of able to function with one. More people die from
extreme eat, then floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes combined. Say that again,
combine more people die from heat than those of three other years of what
I don't understand why. I understand how a telepro how things are written out
on a teleprompter where you know there's like there'll be something and then in parentheses
is generally a command and not something you're supposed to read, you know,
pause, pause for effect, or say that again, or you know,
whatever it is. It's clear that writing things on a teleprompter that way isn't
working for him. Would we all agree putting in those the you know,
the narrative part that's not supposed to be read, the instructional part. Now,
I was thinking that this morning, like, at some point you've got
to change the way that you're putting stuff up on the teleprompter. Only put
stuff you want read, right, Yeah, And yet they don't like So
I understand why Hunter Biden and them are in there thinking like the people around
him are sabotaging him, because I kind of feel like this is an easy
one. Don't put instructions in there. But then you flash back to those
remember the note cards telling them where to sit and where not to sit.
Remember the media downplayed all of that as well. You know, they were
their commands, like don't you know they get like you're instructing a child.
And it was a really bad look and they and they played it, they
played it all off. But it's nothing. That's just how that's just how
they do these things. No, it's not. You're gonna put things on
there that, understandably maybe harder to remember, you know, like order of
speakers, things like you know, things like you would get on a program.
You don't tell somebody. You don't tell the President of the United States
when to sit and where to sit in a setting that is frequently repeated.
It was even more damning on there. There were some things that were just
really bad. So, yeah, I don't understand why the teleprompter person hasn't
figured out, Yeah, you can't put those instructions in there. Just you're
just gonna have to let him go in bang away read whatever he needs to
read. And when it's just you know, when it's when there's no more
words, leave mister president while we yell so nobody can get a question in
edgewise. But nah, they keep they keep doing it, so I don't
know, maybe they're paranoia, is is warrented? Meanwhile, they finally got
questions to Jean Pierre, who this she's awful. Like we can all agree
on this, she's not good at it, but also she doesn't have a
soul. And I understand it's your job to go up there and spin,
but we don't spin anymore. Have you noticed that the White House spokesperson's job
is not one of spin deflection? And you know, changing the subject in
a cute manner, that's that's how you used to do it. Now you
just straight up lie man. He just reminded us the press Infiden had a
cold. And I would like to remind you that this is not Peter Deucy.
Okay, this is not Peter Deucy. Who would expect these this type
of question from this is trickled down to the normies, the regulars, the
mainstream. He just reminded us the press Infiden had a cold on Thursday.
What medications was he taking in the days or hours leading to the debate?
And I can I know that question has come in a couple of times to
us. He was not taking any cold medication. Was he taking any meditation
That wouldn't have interfered because he was not taking uh, any cold medication.
That is what I can speak to. I've asked the doc his doctor,
and that's what he stated to us after the debate. Did the president get
exammed by a doctor or did he get a neurological scan? A neurological scan.
Look, what I can say is that, just to take a step
back, it was a bad night. We understand that it was a bad
night. And the president has spoken to this and he understands that, and
so I cannot speak to anything beyond what I just shared. The president has
regular annual physicals that we release in a thorough report. We're gonna continue to
do that. Uh. I don't have anything else beyond that. Yes,
yeah, yeah, yeah, So CBS is let's see here. That was
CBS's Waysia Jeong. I don't know how to pronounce her name. Let's see
here. And then there was another Oh you know what, I just realized,
Ross, I didn't send you the other story. So there's another question
in there, and I'll just I'll repeat, and she was asked, point
blank, is the president suffering from a diagnosis? Does he have a diagnosis
of anything such as Alzheimer's or you know, an any one of those types
of diseases, And Jean Pierre acted all offended and went no, unequivocally no.
So they're on the record as that, and I don't know that that
necessary. You know, good luck getting a hold of I guess the actual
medical records. But they did go on the record saying that none of that,
and I don't know, maybe maybe he's not suffering from a diagnosis and
they're playing fast and loose with that word. But yeah, yeah, that's
She was very offended by it, and I kind of have to feel like
before long we'll know whether there's any truth to them. I mean, this
thing just feels over. I can't imagine if they start bringing up his like
his business dealings and corruption, that's how you know when it's really over over,
Yeah, because because you know they have that information, but just like
his his cognitive decline, they haven't been covering it. They're just choosing not
to cover it. So if they decide to go there, but they cook
themselves right right right, that's the thing. They're so far into the accomplished
territory that like they're they're indicted as well, because now you're seeing the stories
coming out of how how you behind the scenes in the White House, in
the Oval office when you're dealing with Biden how he can be cranky and he
can be mean, and he can he can snap at people if you bring
up certain stuff. And you've never seen this before. It was always Uncle
Joe, nice, friendly, honest guy, very happy to be right.
Now that's completely changed. Hey fat, Yeah right, calling somebody fat.
Remember somebody asked him before about his cognitive decline during the last campaign, and
he called the reporter a crack head. He said, are you a junkie?
Well, to be fair, he knows junkies, that is true.
Yes, So it's a good point. Who do you think does more coke?
Chet Hanks or Hunter Biden? They should have a crack off? What
for the kids? We'll do a fundraising better than That'd be better than Paul
versus Tyson. Yes, thank you. You don't want to see who could
do the most crack I mean I I don't, and I'm glad that Hanks
is seeking. But if they're gonna do it, at least they should do
it for charity. All the money can go to the Dolly Parton Foundation that
irritates the unc loons for the kids, that'll be amazing. Or how about
your own your own organization, Ross, would you to be the beneficiary of
the crackoff at the Hayes Fund or whatever it is. Oh, this for
the fire robot dog for the children. Oh, we're onto that now.
It happened to the lambo. Remember I I divested the funds. You humbled
yourself, and you're settling for fire murder dogs though for the kids. Yeah,
all right, think about that. We'll be right back. Hang.
There's a story which I remember hearing this for the first time. Hearing this
story quite a while ago, but about midway through Trump's presidency in his interaction
with Taliban leadership, and I was I saw it recirculating because Byron Donald's the
Congress, the congressman from Florida, was on being interviewed by Sage Steele,
and he told that story and it was clear she hadn't heard it. And
then I saw in line a bunch of people hadn't heard it, which was
wild to me. It's a it's a pretty amazing story. I remember at
the time too, when when it first came out. Uh, you know,
the spin was Donald Trump almost started a war with the Taliban, who
were, yeah, let's play it from your computer because there's no obscenities in
it. He started he's going to start a war with the Taliban, was
literally a criticism at a time when we were at war with the Taliban.
But let me set the scene. So he's relaying Trump literally in person visiting
with the Taliban leadership and explaining to them, what are what withdraw looks like?
And here we go. Let's let's get into this. I'll give you
my favorite Trump, my favorite President Trump story. It's my number one favorite
of all time. When we were negotiating with the Taliban while President Trump was
still the president, President Trump wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but he
wanted a conditions based withdrawal, meaning that you do what we tell you to
do and then we'll start pulling troops back slowly as long as you abide by
our rules. It's President Trump and Mike Pompeo and they are talking to Taliban
leadership in the room, and they had one translator in the room. President
Trump looked at that at the Taliban leader and said this, I want to
leave Afghanistan, but it's going to be a conditions based withdrawal. And translator
translated and he said, if you harm a hair on a single American,
I'm going to kill you, and the translator goes, and Trump goes what
I said, reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the
leader, the leader of the of the Taliban's home, and handed it to
him, got up and walked out the room. Do you know for eighteen
months not a single American was killed in Afghanistan. That's the definition of strength,
That's what I'm talking about. And so you could imagine that kind of
sentiment being around the world. If we have an embassy in another country,
no one's going to touch it because they're going to be fearful and they will
get a mo on their head. Yeah, and you know, we've talked
about it here on the show. It's the unpredictability that people would be like,
oh, this is you can't foreign relations can't operate with unpredictability. Well,
in some instances they can. Because if you think that they're going if
if you think that you're going to get run down by military dogs and feasted
upon or get moabbed or any of the rest, if you pull any of
that crap it obviously it obviously is impactful. Donald's is right, We didn't,
Hey, we did, had no casualties in Afghanistan for eighteen months.
They didn't want to screw with it. They didn't know what he was going
to do, and you know, the narrative was then, oh, he's
trying to start a war, well we're technically at war, or you know
what a surprise for us. They didn't beef with They're like, can you
believe he turned over top secret information to the Taliban? That's the narrative you
go with. But yeah, I've had a while. The number of people
had never heard that story. What an absolute flex though, And you know
you can do that when you have the resources that we have. Even to
the Taliban, which is obviously from a guerrilla standpoint, he's had been successful
in making things difficult because that Taliban guy knew that Trump would have no problem
health firing missile wherever he's at. He'd already seen it once and he'd see
it again with the Iranian dude. Absolutely, Now, if Joe Biden made
that threat to you, how serious you're going to take that? Because you
can pretty much predict what he's going to do. And so when you're dealing
with not you know, the Frances of the world, or the Switzerland or
any of the rest who would tell you that, you know, everything is
a parliamentary procedure and that's how we conduct business. Then sure, go ahead
and get Joe Biden in there where everyone basically the fix is already in and
they're all slaves to their big one world government masters, or at the very
least the idea of that an EU style and un run world would be better.
That doesn't work with Taliban dudes. As a friend of mine likes to
say that the world is run by money, hot chicks, and brute force.
And that's true, especially when you're dealing with you know, those guys.
That's what they answer to. I don't want to say it's what the
respect, because I don't care what they respect, but it gets it.
That's how they deal with things, and so they if they think that you
have the ability to do the things that they're willing to do to them and
be more effective at it due to your war chest or your standing in the
world or the amount of jets that you have, you start thinking twice about
some of this stuff. So it is a great I guess if you've never
heard it there, it is what what chapter in the Art of the deal
is that one when you're reading the Lincoln where you threaten to moab your your
rivals. Because I did read that book once. I don't remember it being
in there, but maybe it's a maybe it's a new updated edition. So
there you go. Is the way to say, is this why you threaten
to bulldoze your friend's house as a size that because you're flexing? It all
makes sense now, that makes perfect sense. All right, let me get
over to this. Oh man, it's some other audio too, and wait
what is this? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we'll get to it. Chill out, chill out. I mentioned that some
that it is the Great Awakening or whatever you want to call it, with
with a lot of folks who are who are realizing that maybe politicians and members
of the media weren't being uh straight with them and and I think that that
is what they fear most because yeah, sure you lost people who on the
right or however you want to say it, but you had a lot of
useful idiots that just believed what she said. They love that cronkite line and
they believed it. That's the way it is. Well, that's the way
it is. Rachel Maddow said, that's the way it is. That's the
way it is. And once they realize that you're not apt at your job
in most instances, but you're actively corrupt. Now you're going to start hemorrhaging
people from you know that you previously didn't have to worry about. And I
hope folks come to get a better understanding of what is going on versus what
they're being told. However, when you're someone like Leah Deliria, there's no
fixing you. You're just you're broken until your ticker gives out. And there's
a lot of folks like this. So she is an actress from Oranges the
New Black, and she is absolutely one hundred percent in on just being an
insane lunatic over the Supreme Court ruling and and pretty much anything and everything.
But I gotta say she outdid herself on the social media TikTok yesterday. Done.
I'm done. I'm seriously done. The Supreme Court has pissed me off
so much right now, M like so much. Joe, You're reasonable man,
you don't want to do this. But here's the reality. This is
a war. This is a war now, and we are fighting for our
country and these are going to take it away. They're going to take it
away. You Clarence, uncle Thomas, what Joe, You now have the
right to take that Trump out. Take him out, Joe. If he
was Hitler and this was nineteen forty, you'd take him out. Actually we
wouldn't because in nineteen forty we had anyway. I don't have to anyway.
Go ahead with your stupid he is Hitler and this is nineteen forty, Take
him the out, blow him up, blow him up, or they'll blow
us up. Right, Yeah, I'm sure the first act. I'm sure
Trump's first act in office is to target your house in Malibu. Just make
it a list. The amount of people like this lunatic and others online who
were like, wow, now that we can murder him best, you better
murder him was wild to be yesterday. So and it's drawing a sharp dividing
line I think between people who want, you know, want to understand more
and maybe having done a great job of really getting to the bottom of the
stuff, versus the we'll call them the unfixables. There's no fix in that.
That is an angry person, not as angry as you're gonna be when
you read your car thermometer. Here in a couple of days, compliments of
grace staging. Dude, I did there, I spun Oh oh oh they
took ray out. No, we're oh there you are right there. Okay
they got you with a jumper, but no, no, not yet.
Yeah, yeah, you're gotta see. You're gonna see numbers between probably ninety
two and ninety let's say, let's say ninety eight the next couple of days,
tryad the lower nineties, maybe some mid nineties Tomorrow and Friday, and
then get into the triangle or it's usually a little bit hotter upper nineties with
heated This is over one hundred, probably gonna get slapped with an other heat
advisory. So it's not just gonna be about that car thermometer temperature, right,
It'll be about what it feels like with the humidity, and that'll be
very dangerous. Could get hot as one O five with the heat indecks.
So we don't necessarily pay attention to what's going on with a thermometer, pay
attention to what the due point is, what the humidity is. Not much
rain maybe in here until about I'm gonna go Friday, I mean Thursday night
for the fourth really not there's a chance, but it may just a passing
shower. I think Friday some chances of isolated storms, and over the weekend
chance of showers in the uther storm Saturday Sunday probably the better chances in the
afternoon, but still staying in the mid upper ninetyes. Saturday may come down
to the upper eighties to low ninety Sunday, and even next week looks a
hot and humid with a chance of thunderstorms. So the two dry days today
and tomorrow probably the best if you're not looking for rain. But a lot
of us need rain right now case, so there may be some as we
get at the Friday and the upcoming remainder of the holiday weekend, which I
assume right, it's no Thursday Friday for us. Yeah, here on Friday,
are you really Friday? Okay, we'll tell you about this. Yesterday
and you told me my colleagues were off, and I mentioned that you and
he disturbed me. So yeah, well, I know at least one.
I know one that's off maybe, so I don't want to get home.
Who's going to be there on Friday. I don't know if Miami is I
know Marks, no, no, no, no, no. For you
guys. Oh Jeff, Jeff Marks, Oh poor Jeff already drew the short
stick, all right, but you can make it rain. But I'm going
to keep Florida relatively because the amount of amazing stories that emulate from Florida on
Fourth of July weekend, like there are there's probably a dozen people in the
state of Florida who aren't gonna be able to count to ten anymore, right
with their fad? This is true, Yeah, and I don't want to
be robbed of that, So keep it up. I don't believe me.
All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it, and we'll be right
back. Hang on. So, NBC has an article out about the the
growth and expansion of lg EBT foods. What is is entitled what is Queer
Food? We asked LGBT foodies and chefs to define it. There is a
growing queer food movement, and I'm really confused as to what this is,
Like, what is what well, I'm sorry, what are foods that are
inherently gay? Like this sounds like this sounds like high school kids making fun
of gay people put into an NBC News article. It's so weird and it
is absolutely there's very few examples of which foods. So basically, if I
understand this is is food made by or consumed by people who are LGBTQ.
So food people who have uh oh, who have traditionally been marginalized and excluded
from fine dining spaces. You're telling keep in mind, where are the fine
dining meccas, the top restaurants generally located in this country Bay Area, Los
Angeles, New York. I don't believe people are being discriminated from Spago at
this moment or the French Laundry. In fact, organizers have now put together
an annual Queer Food conference at Boston University. All right, So, from
what I can tell from the article, when they go chef to chef is
like I assume this was like food, you know, different dishes that emulated
from LGBTQ, like bars, restaurants, things like that. But it's not
even that, all right, So vodka, SODA's, sourdough, bread,
and soup are the three examples that I can actually extract from here. A
weird article. Man, I guess I just kind of assumed that you know,
whoever, whoever you're on a date with or going home to sleep with.
Probably you just you want good food. I don't. Also, I
think it's funny because there is a splinter group. Oh and pot brownies.
That's right, How strange, man, there's a splinter group. The lgbt
Q queer food movement also is involved in the feminist food movement. What's feminist
food? They would have to go in the kitchen to cook it, wouldn't
they. I would feel like that's more exclusive. Right. You get you
get a bunch of like rabid feminists and you're like, oh, what's on
the menu? And they're like, wow, you assume we're gonna make something
like it shouldn't exist feasibly because it's somebody not being true to themselves. Or
maybe I'm misunderstanding. Yeah, what a strange article for like no reason.
Let me tell you this though, I did see something I would try.
So you know, some people don't like they don't do bread, right.
You probably know somebody who doesn't eat the bread. So the alternative if you
go to get a sandwich or a burger or whatever, right, lettuce?
Right, we use the lettuce. Well, apparently now restaurants or some sandwich
places are buying giant half dilled pickles and then they cut the pickle in half,
they kind of scoop out, and then they make the sandwich in that
and it's not like the full deal because it would be kind of overwhelming,
but it has that flavor. I don't know, man, I like pickle.
I'd probably eat this. You know, there's things that on an annual
basis tend to pop up around the Fourth of July holiday, people doing dumb
stuff with fireworks or whatever Florida bands up to this weekend. But also I
have to read these diatribes by people going to I'm not celebrating Fourth of July
this week, and some of it has to do with race, some of
it has to do with feminist stuff, and it's all really really just it's
I'm over it and I haven't seen it this year. I want to.
I want to bring our guest in, Mark Robinson, lieutenant governor also gubernatorio
candidate. Yeah. Every year, man, I got to hear how much
everyone hates on America, And for whatever reason, I haven't read a lot
of those this year. So I don't know if everyone's brain's broke from the
debate. But what do you what do you think, Mark? How you
doing. I'm doing good. How are you doing, Casey? I probably
read a why I have a real lot of that because I don't really breathe
too much on social media anymore. I just, you know, have all
the things that I do. But I haven't heard a lot of that chatte
I feel that's good. Yeah, you usually some hollyway in the giant house.
That's right. We've been extremely blessed by the blessings of America and the
gifts of America and so and then they want to go around demonize America,
which is very confounded. I think people are kind of catching on that narrative
right now, the average ordinary citizens catching on to the fact that some of
these people, with everything available to them, that they try to demonize the
country, and folks are starting to push back against that. So they're trying
to rethink their strategy. I think, yeah, you know what's crazy too,
is then the disingenuous argument is, oh, well, you think America
is perfect? No, no, But what I think is perfect is the
mechanisms built into the system to fix things right. That's you know, you
see the New York Times headline, what is this, uh, absolute lunacy?
Just the first here we go. The First Amendment is out of control,
Mark Robinson, do you think the First Amendment is out of control?
No, the First Amendment is not out of control. What's out of control
are the people who want to limit the First Amendment. Unfortunately, in a
lot of those people are in great positions of power, and they're wielding that
power to try to limit people's free speech. You notice, you know,
you can have the most radical dictator on Some of the most radical dictators on
earth have come and spoke, come to be speakers at some of our university
campuses. But when the candidth Owens or Mark Robinson or Thomas soul steps under
that campus, all of a sudden, you see these these lunatics out protesting.
And they're the same people who say they won't open an honest dialogue.
I'm so tired of people on the left saying opening eyes, honest dialogue.
What they want is an affirmation of their beliefs. They don't want open an
eye, honest dialogue. I won't open an honest dialogue. I want you
to speak your mind. I want to know who you are. I want
to know who you where you stand, and I respect you for it.
But I expect a free society that I should be able to say why I
disagree with you, and be able to stake my case on why I believe
as I believe. Unfortunately, there are folks in our society that don't want
that to happen. Yeah, did you see the incident in Nashville the three
individuals who showed up to the anarchist book club Mark, does that sound like
a fun place the anarchist? Oh yeah, that sounds like that, sounds
like loads of fund Yeah, and they physically get attacked over the quote Zionist
filming. We have a we have the hood is off man when it comes
to some of the anti Jewish stuff, but also it's also a bit of
anti right stuff. But in a city in North Carolina, seventy individuals stood
around and either helped assault or watch these three being assaulted, including an eighty
year old cancer stricken navy vet. Wow, what do we do about this?
As I saw your opponent in the he tweeted something out about how this
is unacceptable. How do we purge this nastiness in the same way that we
strove to purge you know, historic racism in the in post Civil Wars,
South North and everywhere else, like, why isn't this a goal we can
work towards. Well, you know how we purge it is we get serious
about it. We don't put out a tweet about it being unacceptable. What
you do about it as the attorney general is you find those people and you
make an example out of them, and you make an example out of them.
Because we've seen this movie before, Casey, We've seen it. You
know that old saying those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. We
haven't even forgotten history. We're just repeating it knowing what we know. You
don't put out a tweet as the attorney general and state duc's unacceptable. You
go after the people who did it. Now, Josh Stein went after the
people on January sixth. He put up a billboard saying, if you know
people who went report him to our office. He went after those people.
Why is he not going after these people on these college campus who are violently
attacking and threatening these Jewish students. Why is he not doing it? He
needs to answer for that. A tweet is not good enough in his position.
If he was a private Sensen, sure tweet might be good enough,
But at the top comp in this state. He needs to make a demonstrative
statement by saying, we're going to Asheville, We're gonna find these people,
and we're gonna arrest them, and we're gonna hold them accountable. So obviously
you're aware, and I think everyone's aware that if you cobble together the debate
into Friday and the Supreme Court rulings, it was arguably the worst day for
North Carolina Democrats since appomatics. Probably, sure, let's start with the debate.
Did you watch it? Your thoughts? I had to catch the rerun,
but I'm gonna tell you what you know. I'd like to say that
I was happy about the performance of Joe Biden Dave, but I'm not Casey.
I was embarrassed, and I wasn't necessarily embarrassed for him. I'm embarrassed
for America, the great, this country on Earth. You know, that's
the person we have at the helm. We have an incapacitated man at the
helm of our country, a person who clearly is not he's he's not capable
of he's not capable of carrying out his daily activities, and that is that's
just that's plain and stuff. But we can clearly see that, and he's
running the most powerful country on earth. It's very embarrassing in front of our
in front of our allies, and it's dangerous in front of our enemies.
And we've got to do something about it. In November. We've got to
do something about it. November. We've got to change course in this country.
Almost four years ago this country, we ended up electing the worst president
in our history, hands down. In November. If we don't change course
and go in a different direction, I shouldn't think where this country will be
head in the next four years. You know. Obviously Biden's getting most of
the attention considering all of the fallout that's happening. But what I found the
interest and I see you labeled because you and Trump are getting labeled together.
You both want to end abortion and jail women or something. I keep hearing
that. But what what Trump did is something that I've heard you criticized about
and Trump, and that is sometimes you got to do the Napoleon thing when
your enemy is making errors, stand back and let them. And people will
say, well, you know Mark, maybe Mark is too boisterous, sometimes
he's too loud, and they'll say it about Trump, and I think Trump
has done a very good job just kind of sitting back and letting it happen.
And that seems different. So one, do you think that that's a
fair criticism or labeling of you? And and two, how does that strategy
instruct perhaps maybe how the campaign's going to go for you when you and Josh
Stein are on stage. Well, the bottom line is this, you know
what Josh Diine wants to talk about. Josh Diin wants to talk about Facebook
post from fifteen years ago. Josh Stein wants to speculate about what's in my
mind when it comes to different issues. Jostin Stine wants to ignore the fact
that I don't make the decision on what happens in abortion in this state that
state. That decision is made by the people, by their representatives one hundred
and twenty House members and fifty senators. That's where that decision comes in,
and we have to take everybody's position into account when we're making those decisions.
He thinks that I want to be a dictator like Roy Cooper. He thinks
that I want to be a dictator along the lines of the way she would
to run everything by agenda instead of running things by actual policies and the way
that they work. So Casey, the thing that for us it has been
simple. We're going out and we're talking to people about the things that matter
to them right now and the things that really matter to people. We're talking
to people out on the streets the things that matter, things that matter on
the economy and all the associated things public safety, public education, healthcare,
infrastructure, housing, and we talk to people about that big piece inside of
that, which is educator itself. We're talking about the substantive issues and how
we can take those tackle those substantive issues to take North Carolina and make her
great for every single solitary person in this state and coming up with great solutions.
Josh Diin's he wants to stick with all this to the facial little stuff
that's talking about all these social issues and again talking about fifteen year old Facebook
posts. Folks who are worried about their job going to Mexico or China,
Folks who are worried about being able to keep their businesses open, Folks who
are worried about their children at safety at school or what they're learning at school.
Don't give a hooton hates what Mark Robinson said on Facebook twenty years ago
what they care about of those issues, and our campaign and our administration will
be laser focused on the things that they care about. It wasn't just the
debate. Obviously, you had three big support of Supreme Court rulings on Friday
and then on Monday. Apparently now Trump can execute his political opponents. That
everyone's losing their collective minds. But I think the one that is going to
be most impactful is the Chevron decision basically hamstringing the ability of micromanaging by unelected
officials. How big and impactful do you think that is? And let's say
you are elected governor. Lawsuits are going to have to go forward to dismantle
some of this stuff. And this one was based on basically bastardizing the fishing
industry. That's a good about the case. That has been a struggle in
North Carolina as well. So how proactive could you as governor be in fast
tracking some of the wind down of government federal government overreach? Oh, we
talk about all the time, Casey. The key here is putting the right
people in the right positions, the folks who share our vision to make sure
we get rid of senseless regulations, to make sure that we get rid of
industry killing regulations, to make sure that the climate change folks are not calling
all the shots. I like to see it like this, casey. The
climate change folks, they're welcome to the party, but they're not going to
pick all the new and they're not going to tell us how to dance.
We're going to do things by common sense. We're going to do things by
real science, and we're going to lean on the people inside that industry that
know how to keep it strong and successful. It's all about getting the right
people at the helm and those agencies. You get the right people in those
helms at the agencies, you get to back up that they need in the
legislature and in other places, and we can get those things turned around quick
fast and in a hurry. What you know, one of the I think
more popular pledges that Trump made, and and I don't remember the exact number,
but it was basically for every new regulation, we're going to get rid
of three And then I think that number actually did. Yeah. So is
that something that Mark Robinson thinks is doable? Absolutely, we think all options
are on the table. The shrink government because that's our goal. Our goal
is the strinth shrink government, make it more efficient, make it more make
it based on solid science and common sense, because we want the government to
be as small as possible, because we believe the smaller you make government,
the greater the bigger you make the people, and the bigger you make the
people, the better you're going to make. This stake. The fallout from
all of this, and I just wanted to get everything on the table is
there are people who I think just you know, just went along to get
along, man, just saw what was going on and decided that now they're
they're totally telling me the truth. One of the things that is not getting
the discussion that it should is this is a virtual unmasking of Washington politicians and
the media and their willingness to lie to you, because now you can see
the evidence without having to read through dossier's and everything else. And the practical
effect is there is a lot of concern on the left by fundraising and down
ballot races. You've been identified as one of the candidates and what is the
premier governor's race. How does that make you feel? And how do I
mean, do you do you take that for granted, is that what you're
seeing spill the spill the behind the scenes. How do you how do you
approach hearing that? Well, you know, we we we knew it from
the very beginning. We knew that the dynamics that we bought to this race
was gonna cause us to be on like on the national stage, and uh,
we've been ready for that the entire time. It really hasn't changed how
we've operated too much. Certainly has changed some of the uh, some of
the steers that we operate in, but our message has remained the same largely.
But we knew from the very beginning that this race was gonna be uh
a national race. It was gonna be a huge race, and it's gonna
be an all eyes on race, simp before the dynamics that it brings,
the historical context that it brings. You know, being the first black lieutenant
governor, of course was a huge steal, but being the first black governor
of North Carolina brings an aspect to this race, and of course it's gonna
put eyes on it. Uh, the match up between myself and Josh Stein
and how polar opposites we actually are, it's gonna put eyes on it.
And then there's just this struggle right now in this country the far left and
yeah, actually the far left and the right, because what you're seeing on
the left down is you're seeing the moderate voices in the left being shoved out.
The far left rules the party. Now some folks might say the far
right rules our party, but you can see here in North Carolina that is
not necessarily true. On the right side of the aisle is full of has
a broad spectrum of opinion in it. That left side of the aisle is
really dominated by that far left, and so the far left are taking on
the right. You can see how that dynamic is playing out all across the
country, and in this rights where the road to the White House goes right
through, all rights can't help but be nationalized and be an all eyes on
ways. Right. But do you think in the last question, but do
you think it's going to be easier because most pundits would sit there and tell
you what happened with that debate is going to make things easier for Republicans down
ballot? Is that what you think is that? What you think is people
have people have said that, and tons of people have said that to us
directly that after the debate it's over. Blah blah blah blah blah. But
we take absolutely nothing for granted. We wouldn't care if we felt like if
we were forty five points up, we're still gonna continue to play like we're
ten points down. So we're not taking anything for granted. Case. We
don't take anything for granted because you know, four months is a long time
inside of politics, and anything can happen and things can shift. So we
need to just keep our foot on the gas, keep delivering that great message,
and keep believing that if we continue to do the right thing that we're
gonna get things done along steam. All right, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson,
also gubernatorial candidate. I appreciate it. You have yourself a wonderful fourth of
July, sir. Okay, absolutely happy, independent paid everybody out there,
all right, and we're going to take a break. We'll come back.
You want to weigh in on any of that stuff. Oh Truss just sent
me this tweet. Oh really they have a plan. Huh. Oh they
got a playd Oh. That's good man. The pivoting going on at the
White House is crazy, all right. I'll share this with you coming up
next here on the CaCO Day radio program. Hang on, grocery costs are
too high for families across the country. We have a plan to tackle it.
So they tweeted this out this morning. If you remember, you got
a little bit of this around Super Bowl when the President was like, ah,
why is there too few pringles in here? Or whatever? And the
White House theory is that all of the food producers are in on it,
the grocers are in on it, and they get they get together in a
cigar filled, smoke filled cigar room somewhere and laugh maniacally while you know,
agreeing to all raise prices. And if they all do it, then you
know there's nothing you can do about it. And don't get me wrong,
you know, the fact is that it's really wild to watch, excuse me
to watch food prices, food sizes and all of that in the different ways
that companies adapt. But to simply say that they're all in on it and
they're just doing it to do it is to ignore many of the contributing factors,
and they could be a variety of things. Sure, yeah, it
could be corporate greed out there in some instances. You know, you know
there's some things where only one company really produces a lot of those things,
but it also provides opportunity perhaps for somebody to get in the market. But
I think what more strongly needs to be looked at, or at least should
be questioned, is, Okay, let's step back from the idea that they're
just all in a room planning this. What has led to the increase and
the supplies that go into many of the foods? Is it government regulations?
Is it? You know, sometime there are protectionist measures put in and I
don't just mean tariffs, like where you know, one of the things that
they constantly are doing over in Europe, and then generally US companies have to
abide or risk not being able to do business is they'll identify types of food
that can only be produced if it would only be called this thing if it's
produced in this area. Most people think of like port wine or champagne as
the examples, because those are the big ones out there. But I would
warn you that there are tons of it, and more official than that,
it can only be bourbon if it's in this particular county, which is not
true by the way. It has to do with the way that it's produced
in the barrels, but where it geographically excludes competitions. So what I'm saying
is there's death by a thousand cuts. But no, the White House plan
is to partner with state's attorney generals to take on price gouging, which this
is. Look, Rothstein's favorite thing is to sue companies, and it is
a mechanism of the office, but it's seeming like the only thing, and
they're easy wins where he can put out a thing and like, I've just
secured forty million dollars towards whatever from this evil vape company or whatever it is.
And I'm not saying that attorney generals don't have that's not something that's in
their arsenal of things to do, but would when it becomes your only thing
and it's all of one ideology going after one thing all at the same time,
you know what it really really North Carolina is to blame. I think
that John Edwards and the cigarette stuff was so wildly effective that it's now all
they see and they feel like that's when they're doing their job. So that's
of course what the administration wants more of too. Call on grocery chains to
lower costs, So what and then what do you just wanted to take a
loss? If that's what's there, provide low income families with two thousand dollars
more. I'm assuming this is annually for groceries by improving snap and launching something
called summer EBT. So some aer EBT would be if you have kids and
normally they avail themselves of the various dining programs during the summer, that cost
goes up. Even though it was my understanding that EBT that was allocated to
a family of four is allocated as though they are not receiving outside assistance.
So anything they are getting assistance on, you know, even if it's school
lunch, should free up more. But no, the obviously the solution is
to throw more money at it. So yeah, that's their plan, that's
what they're gonna do. And I'll give you an example of when this hits
a breaking point. Do you guys remember the absolute meltdown in Greece? Uh
this is pre COVID, right, just a few years before COVID. Do
you remember the absolute pandemonium meltdown in Greece? You saw it Cyprus, then
you saw it. It was it was like fire. And if you remember,
yeah, if you remember, what was it a military coup that caused
that? Let's see, was it were they trying to destroy the ancient ruins?
No, if I remember correctly, they were like, hey, you
guys are gonna have to work a few extra years for the retirement. And
they were like, nah, you promised us we could retire at this age.
We're not working for you know, a few more years, and now
we're going to burn everything down. Yeah, that's what it was. Thanks
for reminding us. Yeah, And it was the retirement age. It's like
what fifty or something. It was crazy low. And so they implemented what
they called austerity measures and people absolutely lost their minds. It was it was
as though the Spartan showed back up right in the city of Athens. They
were they were losing their minds. And for those of you who have ever
spent any time over in Europe, it's I you know, a way I
respect it, but also to the extent that it is taken within some of
the European cultures, it's not helpful in driving growth when you need growth,
okay, And that is the attitude that many Europeans have about work like.
What I think is helpful is they don't allow it to control their lives in
many instances, and I think that sometimes here in the US, for very
unhealthy reasons, we do allow it, but most people see it as a
price to pay for the upside. And the upside is the United States has
been at the forefront for every evolution and revolution within technology, growth in business
imaginable since its inception. And once we entered, once we entered into where
we you know, we started having electricity, it just took off. Man,
whether it's from flight, whether it is most every innovation within the world
of tech, the Internet, you name it. The US has been at
the forefront. And there's good that comes with that and the bad. The
problem is when you know you're in a country like Greece or there's very low
priority put on it, it can be more relaxing. But if you need
growth and you have been mired in a bad economy for over a decade,
you got something's got to give. So Greece has announced you're ready for this
as a new growth oriented initia, initiation a six day work week. How
do you think that's gonna go over in Greece? But they're like, hey,
we have to do something because our economy never really recovered from that and
we sold a bunch of problems and nobody's producing anything. So now it won't
be all workers, but we'll focus on and let's see year. They have
a very specific Yeah, here we go. It will be applied to private
businesses, so not government workers. It's weird, huh. Only apply to
private businesses, and those need to be businesses that provide they say round the
clock services, but basically they mean regular services. So even if you're in
a production capacity, if it's something that is regularly expected to be a grocery
store shelves, then this would impact you. Let's see, however, businesses
can slice it any way they want. They can either have a six work
day, or they can simply tack an additional two hours a day onto a
standard eight hour shift, and they will have to pay forty percent premium for
these extra hours. So you do have to work an extra day, but
you're making forty percent above and beyond what your normal paycheck is. And it
does this not be a received well, but yeah, those are extraordinary measures
that they have to take that you know, you just the solution in a
lot of European countries now is to go to four day work weeks. So
they're going in the exact opposite direction. That is wild all right, eight
forty four race stage ach here. So the country of Greece is implementing a
six day work week. Yeah, no things, Yeah, I hope.
Well how long are they eight hour days? So you can do it.
You can either have an additional day or you can add two hours to your
Monday through Friday workday to get it. To get that additional eight hours,
and they will be required to pay them a forty percent overtime premium. I
like that part of it. Well, yeah, because they're sitting there.
Greece has been the financial crisis in Greece has been going on ten years,
right rememb when they were buying Greece to the ground. So now you you
can't recover if you don't have any growth, man, Yeah, that's true.
This is this is where they are. So see I was going in
the other direction with the four tens. I could do that. Yeah,
five tens or six eighths, that's that's where it is. But not government
workers five tens or six eight, five ten. You'd still get paid on
the five tens the additional Yeah, so whatever, that two hours two hours
a day would be at one hundred and forty. So yeah, I could
do that in the sixth day. I don't want to commit to Yeah,
well, that's why they give them a choice or something. I don't know,
man choice. But so let's let's say that you are the poor bastard
who has to work Saturday, not going to be any more pleasant, might
as well be inside, Yeah, I might as well if it is an
indoor gig, right, construction workers, anybody working outdoors uncomfortable and dangerously hot
weather returning now, the heat advisories for now have extended as far east as
let me not get the wrong information to you here, as far east as
part of northeast Georgia. Yeah, it's northeast Georgia, so not yet into
the Carolinas. My guess is that maybe tomorrow will be expanded into the triangle
into Friday. That's when the hottest stepperatures are going to be. As we're
gonna watch these numbers be in the upper eighties, low nineties today, probably
mid upper nineties tomorrow. The triad may stay in the low nineties, but
still increasing humidity and heat and disease at a low one hundred so the fourth
but not much of the way of rain around. There could be a pop
up shower at night, but other than that, the better rain chances will
come for Friday again, mid upper nineties for most, low one hundred head
and decease ants a shower, stutter showers scaded around for the ranger of the
holiday weekend. Now it's gonna stay still in that mid upper ninety degree range
for the triangle, low nineties for the Triad, but again the heat and
disease are going to be dangerously warmed to between one hundred one five. Now,
if you are heading to the beaches for the holiday weekend, we don't
have to worry about barrel. So if anybody hasn't been paying attention, it's
been records setting all kinds of early season records for barrel now bearing down on
Jamaica, could head into the Yuka ten eventually maybe the Texas coast, but
for us here on the East coast, no threat there. There's another invest
area back behind that that's got a low chance development. But just that reminder
that we are in now the beginning of the hurricane season into month two,
and things I've been fairly active over the past couple of weeks, but nothing
impact the outer banks, the South Carolina beaches, even up towards Virginia Beach
and the Delaware beaches. And if you're going as far north as Jersey,
things will cut up there too. Okay, all right, Now the naked
swinger leathery skin weirdos at the Heatonism resorts, are they imperiled or uh yeah,
I think so? Oh yeah, okay, yeah, very careful down
there. A lot of wind blown around. Yeah, you know, when
thing's blown in the wind. So all right, thank you, sir,
appreciate it. All right, there we go, well, and Jeff Bellinger
joins us next hang in, all right, understood, Casey had some new
job market indicators today. Companies slowed the pace of hiring last month. ADP
out with a report that says one hundred and fifty thousand workers were added to
private payrolls in June. Economists, we're expecting a bigger number. Another report
just out says two hundred and thirty eight thousand workers applied for unemployment benefits last
week. That was four thousand more than the prior week, and more employers
were preparing for layoffs last month than in June of last year. Challenger Gray
and Christmas says companies announced plans to cut nearly forty nine thousand jobs in June.
That was about twenty percent more than a year ago. Stocks were up
yesterday. We had the NASDAC and S and P five hundred closing at record
HIGHS futures just a little bit lower right across the board. This morning,
the Dow futures are down eleven. Casey
