All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is six o seven
here on the CaCO Day Radio program. And we got we got a crap
ton of bridge stuff. Like I said yesterday when people were a lot of
people send them email, why aren't you deep diving this? And the answer
is, we kind of had limited information. We had a lot of speculation,
and uh, you know, who knows if it's true. I think
that people asking the question if perhaps the cargo ship in question, which the
story is it lost power, it lost control systems stopping a thousand or one
thousand feet or nine hundred and seventy feet or whatever. That thing is a
ship. It doesn't do it on a dime. Right, So there's there's
a certain procedure that I was, Uh, they had a pretty good artist.
Here's the problem. So yesterday, I don't know that it's a problem.
It was easily identifiable, but the amount of threads on Twitter where somebody's
like hi, and then they would, you know, they'd state some credential.
I'm a twenty year Navy man and and I you know, I have
some expertise on this, and then there you know, they'll be the little
finger to point you know, for the thread of their little thread emoji,
and then it was total nonsense. And there obviously this was people who were
mocking others who were claiming to have inside information or background, but the information
they were providing clearly wasn't adding up. And then it just it launched into
the extreme. However, amidst that, there was some there was some good
stuff. And I think there's a couple things not just like I couldn't explain
the process for stopping a ship that like that, although I do occasionally watch
yacht videos on YouTube, so I do feel like I could, you know,
I could pilot a super Yatzo. You know there's that Probably not,
but you know, somebody reminded me of something that he is a known issue,
and this is why I think it's fair to ask questions. One of
the problems that that is that is a constant problem, is a known problem
and is something that has befallen many ships. Is Iran. What Iran does,
And if you don't know what Iran does, Iran has well, they
do a few things that we know of. One they use navigational markers but
with incorrect information, so you'll have a you'll have a ship that is passing
through by Iran and if the the the who the rebels don't get them into
the Persian Gulf because they're more on the you know, the Red Sea side,
but uh, they will literally send out incorrect navigational markers, right so
and this happens this is this also happens in Yemen, but Iran is the
main culprit. And I guess if you just have to visualize in Yemen's on
one side, on the Red Sea side, and then Iran obviously on the
Persian Gulf side. But they they exert a lot of control and what they
have accomplished in the past, especially around what is that bondhar Abbas, which
is kind of the big city right across from Dubai, they have literally trick
ships into either running aground or entering Iranian waters or getting close enough that they
can make that claim on the international front, and then they literally just seize
the ship. So like that's a known thing. Also, we suspect that
there are other digital attacks that they have launched against ships, not just in
an intentionally inaccurate navigational signal, but literally screwing with ships systems. And look,
I'm not some cyberte dude who understands how the all the weakness points there
and also how to combat it. But it's a known thing. China has
been accused of this too around the Parcel islands and areas in the South China
Sea, although they China exerts by by dumping sand on top of those reefs
and claiming those are sovereign Chinese islands that they've been able to extend their two
hundred mile maritime border basically to the Philippine coast. Right, nobody in the
world recognizes that, but China says it's a thing, and they've suspected that
China's mess with stuff. So people wondering aloud about that, you're not some
crazy conspiracy theorist. Right as I was processing this information yesday, I'm thinking
about reading those stories about what they've done to basically sabotage ships or sabotage at
least ships navigational plans UH for the purpose of seizing and or you know,
injuring essentially the UH the shipping abilities of countries and people Iran doesn't like.
And they continue to do it on top of what's going on with the rebels.
They're in Yemen to a wide variety of ships ship's flag from all over
the world. Now, according to the White House, they say that there
is no indicator of that. Uh In Instead, basically they lost power to
portions of the ship. And even though they went through this, you know,
the the checklist quote doing everything that they can and they know that they
should do to stop it. Uh, it was, it was there just
wasn't time based on the sizes of the ship. So then I also struggle
with would the US government acknowledge if that was a thing, right, because
like you almost don't want you don't want to give credit if something like that
happened. And you know, it's the whole thing you see in movies every
time about well, you know people, people can understand stuff, but people
in a group are dumbt panicky animals and and I don't know, so I
understand one at a time when people's trust in government is so low, where
the thought may cross their minds. And you know, watching watching a video
of the ship just barreling in there, right, which is not something you
see very often. There's some there are videos of big ships literally running aground.
Uh. There's one that basically I can't remember how far it got on
shore, but in Turkey a cargo ship that kept coming and watching the people
on the dock is crazy, man, because even though visibly it doesn't look
like it's moving very fast, it's so much weight that even at a small
speed can be absolutely devastating. I mentioned the cruise ship slamming into the other
cruise ship down in Saint Martin or whatever that was. So yeah, now
I will tell you what the President said. He held a press conference yesterday
and it went interestingly. We do have some audio from that, and you
know, we'll go from there. And that's obviously. The President also was
down in Raleigh yesterday, him and the VP. I couldn't swing the one
hundred thousand dollars fundraiser private fundraiser fee, so I didn't get to go.
Ross also unable to attend. We just didn't have it in the show budget,
so you know, that was part of what they were doing. But
we also also made a couple of visits and the people have been harassing the
Raleigh City Council every meeting. Decided to show up, so that went interesting.
And then the spokesperson for the President, mss k JB, she was
doing a radio interview on WBT yesterday and that didn't go well. Was not
with their friend Pete Calender. But I'm assuming he's insanely jealous because it's getting
pub and we'll talk to him on Friday about that. So what did the
White House have to say? What did the Mayor of Baltimore have to say?
We'll get into that and lots more. It's going to be a busy
show at is six seventeen hang on phone number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. Now, just because I said, you know,
obviously people on the internet going, I don't know if I trust the government
to tell me if there was some sort of sabotage and and or also literally
I could point to news stories from all the major outlets where transportation and global
security officials literally talk about how this is standard practice in some parts of the
world. So, you know, people then being told, you know,
shut up conspiracy theorists. I don't think that was fair, that being said.
That being said, it didn't stop there, and we got some we
got some crazy town stuff we're gonna have to get into. But if we're
gonna start with crazy, let's start with the the king of it. The
White House here's the President reminiscing kind of about this particular bridge and his image
of regular Joe on the Amtrak, which has been a hallmark of his political
life for decades. And in those decades there have been numerous times where he's
telling a story. I remember he was talking. He was talking about a
conductor like this conductor and very specific dated memories of him, but the dude
had already long retired. I think in one instance he was talking about a
guy who was dead right, and you know, people chalked it up to
he's eighty and I you know, you can see that on simple one offs
like I do it. I do it all the time where I'm like,
hey, remember this thing we talked about, you know, six months ago,
and then I find out it was like two years ago on the show,
so it blends together. However, this is not a simple date issue
here. He is, Oh, all right, hold on, all right,
here we go. This is this is Biden talking a waxing nostalgic abrout,
said Bridge. Why am I not hearing this? Oh yeah, that
is all right, Russ, go check the other Yeah, because somebody messed
with my next gen too. I noticed this morning. I just didn't know
if they tweaked played with that. All right, we're gonna have to have
it as guys. It's at least I knew somebody did it. This one,
I can't visually tell, all right. So Ross is checking on his
end, all right. So so he's talking about this bridge. He's talking
also about his commute into d C, which you know, from Delaware into
d C. He made a big deal about riding the trains into there.
And obviously you're going to commute from Delaware to DC, you're going to pass
through the city of Baltimore. In fact, how many I've on several occasions,
just due to the insane pricing, I've actually flown into d C for
events and flown into BWI, which is the Baltimore Airport, and and then
you know, you sit in a van or a taxi for an hour going
down to DC and somehow still save money. So I'm not arguing that he
passed through there. Here though, is what he said about one thirty container
ship struck the Francis Scott's Key Bridge, which I've been over many many times
commuting from the state of Delaware a trainer by car. All Right, that
sounds innocuous enough, righting driving a car or on a train. He has
been over this bridge probably he probably couldn't even count how many times, except
there's no rail line on the bridge all right now, obviously just commuter rail
pass through Baltimore. Yes it does, though not really in that area.
Have any of you ever done the train from New York to DC. I
did it once just because I'm like, oh, this will be interesting,
and it wasn't that interesting. So sorry, I don't know, man,
some about the Amtrak's prices where it's like, so wait a second, I'm
not saving money and I'm adding like seven hours to my trip. Why would
I do that? But I don't know. Maybe just to say it once
that being said, you didn't go over this bridge, and you never went
over this bridge. It has never had rail line on it. It's a
commuter freight or otherwise, and so no, no, you didn't. And
that became quickly obvious to people who even had seen the video where you can
clearly see that there's four lanes of traffic, but there is not rail line,
not even on a on a secondary level like some of these bridges have.
Florida Slow Down. I mean, I can't get to all of these
stories. Yeah it used to be you could. Yeah, you get average
one a day, and even then sometimes you look at and go, you
know, I don't really know that that lives up to Florida man's standards.
Nobody's naked, there's not a gator. The bac is within you know,
arrange where you'd probably survive. So but holy hell, they are knocking it
out the park. This week, we'll have a little back to back on
that, and one involves Popeyes and then the other one a nude beach And
where's this Jensen badgens Don of no where Jensen beaches. I expect it's on
the coast, but it really doesn't matter. So we get to those because
it's the gift that keeps on given. And we'll do that coming up here
on the CaCO Day Radio program. All right, let's get back to the
bridge and specifically some of the audio, and let's start with the Mayor of
Baltimore, who I admittedly I haven't been following who the Mayor of Baltimore is
since obviously we had the you know, the famous statement by the former Mayor
of Baltimore when she was watching let's see a dollar tree and a CVS.
Basically, you know, when they were just running around mostly peacefully burning things,
and she basically what was her order. It was something like just you
know, just let them have time to get it out of their system,
which, as you can imagine if you're a business owner, is not what
you want to hear something along those lines. And then we figured out that
both she and the d were corrupt. And was it the mayor who was
also selling her book? Was that the thing with her right? She wrote
like this BS kids book, and then the schools ended up buying like four
hundred thousand copies that they never used or something. There was so much insanity.
So admittedly I haven't really followed up on on on who the mayor is.
It's a younger dude, I guess in the grand scheme of politics.
It's a strike me. It struck me as pretty young anyway. So you
know, he's doing all the interviews, holding the press conference, and we
have audio of when he called into CNN. Look, I get it,
but also it's not the way the news works. And so I'm not mad
at him. I'm not mad at anybody. I just think it's kind of
a dumb request when you consider human nature. But here he is speaking with
CNN, Well, it was something out of an action movie. It's something
you never think you would see. And being here right now looking at it
is even more surreal and it just makes you think about again those families,
those individuals that were on that bridge, those folks they even on that vessel
even more because no one should have to endure. And I'm going to be
the first to ask that seeing and everyone else stop showing the video. No
one needs to see a possibility of their family membering severely injured otherwise over and
over and over again, because it's just traumatizing our community. And look,
I don't disagree with that obviously. You know the estimate, I believe it's
six six individuals described as construction workers who were working on the bridge. Police
able to read the room and some other workers and see what was going on
it was about to happen, and thankfully we're successfully able to stop people from
driving onto the bridge, so it could have been far worse. But I
I don't know how that's gonna pan out for you, like nine to eleven.
So with that in mind, again, I just I understand, like
emotionally, you're sitting there watching that over and over. You're the mayor.
But I guess that's gonna come down to communication the city has with and rescuers
have with members of the family members. Also, you know, there are
people who when something like this happens, they don't hear from a family member,
They might be estranged, and then a thought starts percolating that maybe their
loved one was on the bridge, so they're calling police and and it's just
the nature of what happens with stuff like this, so again I understand it.
And then it turned into some other discussion where like somehow the Feds are
going to pay for the cost of this, and I don't know that now's
the time to be sitting here and having a discussion about rebuilding it. You
have people who are already using this situation for the we there's no way we
can It can never be named the Francis Scott Key Bridge again that yesterday literally
there was one of the city offices was refusing to call it that. So
it was confusing as they had people had to clarify that which bridge are you
talking about, Well, the one that collapsed, you mean Francis got Key.
Well, many in the community don't refer to that because of his troubling
past. And there to help is AP. Yes, that's right. Ap
decided that, you know, yesterday was a good day to start giving us
a biography of Francis Scott Key as an aside story to this. And how
troubling it is that a bridge is named after the author of The Star Spangled
Banner. This is a thing that goes back to twenty sixteen. And you
know, they get into the hey, don't you know about some of the
later verses, And I would argue that the vast majority of Americans couldn't tell
you a single word past the you know, the first part that you always
hear at sporting events, And it's largely due to the fact that people recognize
that there are references in later verses too to slavery. At least there's a
strong argument. And the reason I say that is because the terminology they use
in the third verse says hireling and slave. But that is actually a reference
in most historians' minds to British soldiers and them being impressed at the the ferocity
of the troops that they were encountering. I mean, most people probably don't
even know like when that thing came about and which battle they're even referencing.
But there's an intentional reason in some people's mind where we don't use the third
verse. But mostly even the objections to it are not historically accurate. But
that's so much of this stuff. So for the Associated Press to decide literally
on the day that it happened we got to rehash that was just disgusting.
But they're not wrong. I for what, I don't believe that that thing
will be that they'll call it that anymore. When activists didn't get way,
they were bothered. Now the opportunities here and they can fly under they don't
even have to argue, well their third verse. Some people interpret it as
blah blah blah, right, like they can sit there and say, why
don't we rename the bridge after you know the victims or you know some other
moniker that emerges in this story? You watch this is this is going to
be a thing? You know, by the way, you're also going to
pay for it, And I don't know. I'm assuming the ship has insurance,
so like I don't know how it works. It's not going to be
cheap. I saw some of the estimates. And remember those are government estimates,
so whatever they tell you something's gonna cost probably gonna cost a hell of
a lot more. And in the midst of this going on, with the
mayor out there doing interviews, Joe Biden out there talking about how he wrote
he used to ride a train across this bridge which has no train tracks,
and also misidentifying the number of victims. I mean, the number was hard
and held at six even from I think the time our show was getting over
yesterday, and on multiple occasions he said eight, which then causes a flurry
of questions, and he wasn't taking questions. At the end of the press
conference, he stands there for just, you know, like one millisecond too
much, question gets yelled, and it's a question about Israel. I know,
if you saw this. The US didn't intervene, and yet another wildly
biased UN motion, and by the US's official position being not to intervene,
Israel canceled some state visits, and so they were asking about something that just
happened. He looked confused, He said, didn't want to talk about that
right then, and then he just roombued on out of there while his staff
did the thing where they run into the room screaming and never stopping yelling,
right, And this is an intentional tactic. So they want to clear the
president who maybe in the midst of poorly answering a question of protect him from
that. It's not one guy, it's not one press person who gets up
on the stage and goes, all right, that's enough, we got another
appointment to get to and then leaves it at that, knowing full well it's
a room of adults who will have hurt it, may choose to ignore it.
They yell, and there's multiple of them. Time to go, Time
to go, Time to go, And that is intentional because they are so
fearful that Biden's in the middle of saying something that might be captured on a
microphone, they have to avert that as well. So then that's what you
saw following that. But it was not Miss Jean Pierre doing the yelling,
rather travel staff, and that's because Jean Pierre was doing radio interviews yesterday and
one of them happened to be on WBT in Charlotte, and let's just say
didn't go well, didn't go well at all, And it wasn't because the
host did something so incredibly out of left field. I'll let you hear it.
We'll play We'll play the basically the whole damn thing. Uh, the
problem with you know, minus the little greeting stuff. But where Jean Pierre
actually had issues because it wasn't the totality of it. There were other questions.
But the idea that she can't fathom these questions being presented to her is
I I failed to understand how that woman has a job. And then I
realized it's just because there is no standard, right, the same standard that
any of Trump's people were held to. The makri on SNL, which is
admit, look, admittedly the Sean Spicer Melissa McCarthy stuff with with the mobile
lectern and like, dude, that was that was funny. And uh,
I don't have they even had anybody imitate Jean Pierre. I don't know if
I've seen a skit where she's portrayed. She's sure as hell, isn't portrayed,
is incompetent. Yet every time you see her, you would you would
draw that conclusion. And if there's never going to be any pushback, then
it's never going to be a problem. Where so and so screwed up,
and it negatively impacted the administration because they're just not critical enough. And and
once the smallest little uphill battle presents, she's not able to handle it.
You'll be the judge coming up here in just a moment. Now. Lastly,
on the bridge, I said that I gave the president ninety nine point
nine percent chance he's full of crap on the train thing. And and then
I thought, Ross, do you remember Doc Brown's train in Back to the
Future three? Okay, all right, that's my point. That's my point
one percent there. Maybe maybe that does exist the Book of Secrets. But
other than that, no, there's there's no chance, not even in the
AOC magic war water train scenario from the Green New Deal. So he just
lied, and other than being reported, it's never going to be addressed.
And I have to think of you as Jean Pierre about it. She probably
would flip out. We'll listen to doing that next here on the CaCO Day
radio program, my wife and I both we ended up mildly see. All
right, good morning and welcome back. It is six point fifty four.
Wow, we have a new human right that is this is a doozy.
How many of you tend to limit ordering from the food delivery apps because you
looked at your receipt one time and you went, this is insane, right,
And here's the thing that's not a knock on the people who deliver the
food to the restaurant who prepares it. Some things just mathematically aren't gonna math
for everybody, do you know what I'm saying? Like, and then how
many of you do this? And and it's tougher for me because I like,
I live alone, but like, if I'm going to order from one
of the food delivery apps and I know I'm gonna already eat like an eight
dollars charge plus I I tip I. I you know, people are providing
a service for me. I don't want to get off my lazy butt,
and there is value there and I recognize that. However, I also feel
like I'm getting screwed if I don't order like two or three meals. And
it's I know it's I know that that's false logic. I understand that,
I understand that it's borders, sunk cost fallacy and stuff like, but I
just feel like, if I'm already gonna get hit for in the delivery charge
is probably you know it's gonna the first part of it's the you know,
the bad part, and and and then there's slow growth based on the on
the price there. But you just want to feel you're getting your value out
of it. So as a result, I'll li them at ordering off food
delivery apps. I'll you know, do a better job with making sure I
have groceries in the house. I cook from time to time, but I'm
just and I like to cook, but a lot of times I'll cook one
thing and then just eat to eat a bunch of leftovers. It's a time
saver for me. I don't mind it. But with the food delivery apps,
I'm gonna get out and do it. And sometimes I'm not because I
just I can't justify it. But I didn't know that I had to thank
you. Crazy politicians and moonbat leftists appreciate this. Whoops, that's not the
thing I meant to hit. That's breaking news, new human rights. Door
dash so, and I don't think they just mean door dash, I mean
door Dash, Uber eats, grub Hub, any of the others. When
you train people that there is entitlement and and you start and you start with
things like anything that crosses the threshold of you have an entitlement to yes,
even housing and food for that matter, when you are in no way,
shape or form willing to put in effort immediately, what they'll do is they'll
come out with the straw man and they'll say, well, you know what
about the you know what about the disabled veteran who lost five limbs and in
the Middle East? And do you know that's not what we're talking about.
Okay, you know that's not You're talking about the people you see never working
right, constantly hanging out on the street a lot of times, finding themselves
in criminal arrears and posting videos from you know, in their house with their
eighty inch TV and all of that. I mean, the people who are
poor in this country as a general rule, have a higher standard of life
than even people who are considered not the poor percentage in many other countries.
And and by the way, that's that is a that is a testament to
really what we build here in America. But this whole threat and this whole
argument yesterday, I'm telling you, man seven o seven, the heavens are
opening and coming for our radio tower. I guess so, or it's or
there's just some thunder. So I don't know, like just it's so bad,
Like I just assume that every weather events now coming to murder pieces of
our equipment, because you know, any anytime where the week starts with something,
then I just assume. So I don't know. Maybe that's what it
is. Well, that's race stage coming up a little later. He'll know,
he'll know. But I was reading this batcrap crazy discussion yesterday over door
da not just door dash, Like what is or isn't a human right?
And what happens? You have these people who have been trained all of their
life that no matter what you want, if you don't have it for whatever
reason, that's because some evil person is keeping it from you. It is
the main crux of being able to run around and do a Super Bowl two
minute little video about how there's less Dorito's in the bag than there used to
be and say that it is purely born out of greed or classism or any
of the rest, when ironically, the very same politicians who pander in that
way are arguably some of the worst offenders. If you consider being able to
buy what you can afford based on how much money you have, some sort
of great offense. I don't happen to think that it is. That's not
to say that there's not people out there who are do you take advantage of
others and should rightfully be called out. And it's also not to dismiss,
because it is the argument that gets made here that there are in fact not
people out there who struggle to perform daily menial tasks due to a disability an
injury, both physical or I would say, you know where they've suffered an
injury and it's changed things and they're having to relearn to do stuff as well
as things that people have battled all of their life. I readily get that,
And in the extreme cases that are about to be used in this stupid
argument, if you're to the point where this is a problem, and such
a problem that you feel the government needs to step in, then likely you're
to the point where this ain't just about your ability to cook a frozen dinner,
which is roundly rejected in this thing, but rather you probably need more
help for a lot of other stuff. I one hundred percent understand that's not
all we're talking about here, And it started like this. So you have
these idiots that are out there arguing that food is a basic human right and
that if anybody wants food, regardless of what they've done to attain it,
that the government has an obligation to give them food, and that is already
standard practice in this country. And yet the argument continues to be made.
You see it with school lunch, right, which turned into school breakfast,
which turned into school dinner, and all the while to qualify for those programs
free and reduced as they call it, Chances are there is some sort of
financial aid already going to the family, and in the form of snap food
stamps that used to be known in other programs. So you ask yourself,
all right, well, this is how they've expanded, and they did it
undercover of Look how hungry that kid is. Well, we weren't rich.
Now, granted we had more. We did have a lot of meat walking
around, so you know, in case of emergency, break glass. But
ultimately the fact remains that if you know, if we didn't budget, a
lot of times, it wasn't very pleasant what we were eating. And when
we were younger, if mom was busy, because you know, it was
just my mom in the latter years of my life, she was busy and
she was working, which she did relentlessly her whole life. After my parents
split up, then you were hungry till mom got home. That's just how
it was. But this goes a step further because when you try to appease
these people, as this former city council member or is this the Princeton,
PA or Princeton, New Jersey. It's one of the college towns anyway,
whatever, when you try to appease that and you think that you're making some
sort of common sense argument, those folks are not appeasable because it will always
escalate. And this exchange right here, I think is a good example.
All right, Does anyone else think it's upsetting The food is currently considered a
luxury item that we're being told just eat cereal and frozen dinners. I'm feeling
a type of way about that now. The cereal thing we talked about,
that was the CEO of Kellogg's suggesting that you eat cereal for every meal,
because he's the CEO of cereal. Ross and I are of the opinion that
you should get all of your information from radio. I don't want to speak
for Ross. Maybe I don't believe that, but but I'm gonna go out
there and say that and uh, just talk just FM talk radio on stations
whose number starts with nines and zeros, which is I understand it's almost all
of them. But there you go. Why because I'm selling radio, man,
that's my product. So you know, be but hurt about that.
You don't have to eat cereal, but eating something that is inexpensive like that
or you can get a lot of it for a little amount of money,
is the hallmark of how people stretch food budgets. And it's not just cereal,
it's all all the other stuff that uh you know, the little the
little ways in which you can you can make through song. I remember something
my mom, My mom was a very good cook, but she's raising four
kids. And so when we go to event, if we go to like
a church thing where it was bringing, you know, bring a dish to
pass. She had she had a couple salads that she'd make and they were
really good, but they were also really inexpensive to make, and and and
and so that's that's what that's what she would do. And she would make
that decision. Today she would be considered a psycho by these people as this
uh, this guy answers this person making an assertion that they should have access
to all the food. He writes, some types of food our basic staples,
rice, pasta, vegetables and fruit and uh and so the arguments being
made that, yes, people should have unbridled access to those things. He
goes on to say, some types of food are more luxury items. Both
can exist. No one has an automatic human right to be able to shop
at weight rose. I'm assuming that's like a high end grocery store. I
don't know. Uh and and apparently, uh, yeah, yeah, they
do think that it's a basic human right to afford all food. You can't
pick and choose what people deserve. What is wrong with you? So now
we have we have gone from I'll meet you here and yeah, I think
that absolutely when it comes to uh, you know, grains and fruits and
vegetables and all that, Yeah, absolutely, the government should cover that for
you too. No, no, no, that's classiest. What if I
want caviar for dinner to where the actual argument is being made that somehow you
we should subsidize your caviar habit. But and maybe that's not your your I
happen to like cavia. I think it's pretty good, but I've eaten it
like a handful of times, you know, I because it's the good stuff's
expensive. It's I'm trying to remember the last time I had cat. I
think it was at the hard Rock down in Florida. They have like a
caviar restaurant in there, and a big group of us went in and the
bill was bonkers, man, and you feel like you haven't even eaten anything.
So you know, the decision was, this is a special thing I
can I'm not eating it every day, and you know, I'm I'm especially
being a single like I have a lot of flexibility in my food budget because
I'm not providing for nine people or whatever. But still I can't justify this
person's like no, no, no, no, totally. It is absolutely
something government should be providing. And when challenged on this exertion, the response
was swift, saying that telling people to microwave frozen meals and telling them that
they may not be able to afford luxury food items or food delivery is idiotic
and departing from the principles of individuals having a responsibility to help others. All
right, so do you think the DoorDash driver should waive the cost of bringing
you your food. What about your responsibility to that individual that they're able to
make some sort of income because they want to work. Then it turns to
the door dash side, saying it's not just about the food, but also
there are many people who simply don't have the ability to prepare even things as
simple as a microwave dinner, and instead should be permitted to receive delivery services.
Okay, here's the deal. How many of you have eaten a micro
have microwave something to eat in the last month? All Right, I out
care as a hot pocket or or whatever. You're not. You're not SOLVD
in cold fusion, right. I know that you drank too much and you
forgot the pizza was in the oven. You almost burned your house down,
But that's an individual character flaw, and that's a college thing. Don't do
that. But but also I have made a hot pocket in the last month,
a breakfast, specifically the breakfast ones, which I feel are vastly superior.
And then they used to have a spicy chicken one that I thought was
pretty good. I don't know that. I think they don't make that one
anymore. But I've also ordered Uber Eats, which I ordered literally the day
on Sunday when I got back from my vacation because I had zero food in
the house. Obviously I didn't feel like going to the store coming from the
airport and all that. And you need like a cut and torch to get
into that packaging. So this stupid argument that people who especially those who are
not working due to disability, should have a right to package food. It's
far easier to get a hot pocket out than it is than it was to
get my Chuan Cafe Chinese food out because they do a hell of a job
package and that also be like really traditional Chinese. It's good, but it's
on newburns, you get it delivered, Okay. Anyway, that being said,
this is this is the escalation. This is the continued jump into the
shark that we get where it goes from. You know, people people just
trying to they're just trying to get bread, right, the stupid AOC argument
when they're looting, you know, an air mez store for ten thousand dollars,
persons like, oh, they just need bread to door dashes a human
right, Why do I Then I just threw my mouse off of my counter
That is good. You know what, I need a new mouse and it's
a human right or oh no, just snap back into place. Okay,
all right, well that's good because I thought the government was going to have
to do that for me. All right, here we go. It is
seven nineteen on my third mouse. Now the other one, the roly thing,
didn't work. I realized I didn't have it. This one good to
go. I know you guys are all very concerned, but I needed it
because during the break I had to update my list of people who may have
thought that Diddy was up to some not some horrible things. You know,
if the lawsuit items and investigative items that have come trickling out are in fact
true. Obviously at this point there are allegations. And yet as I as
I now update my list to add Cuba, Gooding Junior, and Prince Harry
to the possible to people who you know, may have known some stuff was
up and in the in the lawsuit. They're actually named in the lawsuits.
So there is a plaintiff who feels that they have some responsibility. We'll let
the courts figure that out. I I have my list and the list of
people who at the very least may have suspected something was up with P Diddy?
Is it's all the people, all the people ever in Hollywood and or
in the British royal family and or just adjacent to him, people who worked
in and around some of the record companies, all the people kind of like
the Epstein thing and kind of like the Weinstein thing, Right, everybody everybody
knew or it's suspected, and all these people are coming out so that they
can, you know, grab their own little slice of this going oh yeah,
man, you know there was there were these stories, and it's like,
if there were all these stories, why did you continue to produce music
with this individual? Right or party with them? There's all these pictures.
At this point, I think maybe Ross and I were the only ones who
didn't know, and that's because I only follow Hollywood to the extent that I
have to, usually after they screw something up. So that's where we are
with that. The lawyer for Combs basically is saying that it was a grossover
reaction by law enforcement, and law enforcement says, no, we got a
bunch of stuff and you won't believe what we're finding. But of course that's
through you know, undisclosed sources. So take you know, take it for
what it's worth. But yeah, the Jerry Maguire actor, Cuba Gooding Junior
and the most unlikable person or one of in my opinion, Prince Harry maybe
also according to this lawsuit, knew what was up, knew that there was
sex trafficking. The person filing the lawsuit is a guy who said that he
was essentially held on a yacht in the Virgin Islands. There we go with
the Virgin Islands again. I'll let you figure out if you remember where Epstein's
place was and Combs had essentially handed him over to be sexually assaulted by Cuba
Gooding Junior. Is what the allegation is. What is specifically the Prince Harry
thing. I think they're just saying he had some knowledge to fifty million dollars
laws suit and again it's a civil matter, obviously there is some there's criminal
investigation going on. Lil Rodd, who is the guy with followed the lawsuit,
Rodney Jones is his legal name, claims that they were guests were allegedly
drawn to Ditty's sex trafficking parties because of his quote access to celebrities athletes,
political figures, artists, and even international dignitaries in the case of Prince Harry.
Neither of them be in charged with the crime. I just want to
be clear there. But it's pretty lurid stuff. And yesterday was just a
parade of people going oh yeah, yeah, everyone knew what was up.
Who was it? It was Kevin Hart. Here's a video that was going
around with Kevin Hart, who like didn't want to be on a bed near
Combs and somebody else and was literally now that you understand, like the references
he was making, it was clear that Kevin Hart years ago at least knew
that there were rumors and was in a comedic fashion because he was a comedian,
but he was clear, it was clearly serious, was trying to not
end up in a photo on a bed with Sean Combs. So yeah,
it's just yeah, once again it's this, and then these are the folks
that come out and lecture, you know, with the times up PSAs and
all the rest, and it's just it's sodom and Gomorrah, which is really
the best reference I can think of there. All Right, I promise we'd
do it. Let's get to it, because they keep producing, and we're
here to do We're here to take advantage in these situations. Let's head to
our favorite state, to the salad. Florida Man. Florida Man. Is
something in the water the errors hand that makes you do all that crazy crap.
It's like the state is one to be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else
has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the weird Factor climbs to
find out it haven't in Florida every time. Florida Man, Florida Man.
If anyone can jeer me of, you know, you can just mind life
be crazy. But of course, but it's not as bad crap crazy as
yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it
they don't find him. Hooray for Florida Man. All right, and uh,
let's start at Popeyes. A couple arrested Saturday afternoon for getting it on
in uh in the in the front of the Popeyes. I know what you're
thinking, You're like, whether you do they park in one of the back
spots and somebody just happened to see them. No, No, nothing like
that. Vero Beach, Florida authority say they received a report of a couple
in full view of Highway One, which this particular popeye sets adjacent to,
as well as people there just to eat, of a couple getting busy on
the sidewalk in front of the main entrance. We say. When they arrived,
they found seventy year old Arnold Mackie and forty four year old April White.
Good for him AnyWho, and they were all into it. According to
the police report, White was laying down sands clothing legs in the sky.
I'll let you fill in the blanks, right, They're not even like,
oh I tripped and fell, let's try. No, it was what it
was, At which point the deputy confronted them. The woman started referring to
the deputy as the British word for a cigarette, also implying it's done like
a woman's ego. Man, not all of you, but in this case
you'll understand. She was upset that the deputy was like, you can't do
that, and she's like, why wouldn't you want to watch this? Look
how amazing I am. So she's already upset. The seventy year old Mackie
said he did a he I have to read this quote Mackie told the investigators
that it was quote not his intention to expose himself, and he argued that
technically his parts were obscured. I can't read all the quotes. In fact,
Mackie said that once he realized the direction this was heading, he had
implored the woman to leave the sidewalk and perhaps move into the bushes nearby to
get some privacy. He said that she refused, saying that the she's where
she wanted to be, and he says, what was I supposed to do?
I wasn't going to turn it down. That's a man in a predicament
right there. So anyway, he's charged with all the stuff, she's charged
with some extra stuff. And the you know, don't don't have sex in
front of the main door of the Popeyes, I guess is the takeaway there?
All right, that's one of two stories. We got another one.
I'll dip it in before the show's over. But first race Agic from the
Weather Channel and Florida never fails to no. I mean a lot of key
points there of the whys, and of course there's some why nots. And
I'm looking at the mugshots. This dude's batting way outside his I'll kick coverage.
Huh yeah, yeah yeah. So like I'm not justifying it, but
I like I feel that logically, you you, most people wouldn't voice it.
But his argument that, hey man, I'm a seventy year old dude
in this forty four year old smoke show is like, what am I supposed
to do? It's not a legal argument, but I understand it. I
guess sure. Sure. Anyway, he's also he's like, I'm seventy What
are you gonna do to me? Right right? Pay a fine and I'll
be back at it. But anyway, they were hammered. They were hammered,
all right. So anyway, so why is there thunder? Don't know?
No, you can't know. No, No, that's stop. Well
we do have to. We'll draw a line. I'm gonna do the best
I can, and drawing that line to where we get more rain than where
we get less because it kind of cuts the try it in the triangle right
in half of right now, Yes, lightning tracker, well that's a lie
hold on there now, lightning trackers on, and yes, some thunder and
lightning showing up now, going northeast out of Wake County and Durham Counties and
into Vans and Warren Counties of Franklin. The storms aren't severe, but some
heavier rain, a little thunder lightning there. That batch is going north and
then out near Winston Salem and up near it's just Stokesdale, Anne Reidsville,
and up and through Rockingham County Fortyth Counties, respectively. Some more showers,
Yanceyville and Caswell County some showers, and that whole batch is basically moving north,
just some lingering showers here before the next batch comes on through. That's
going east of Charlotte. So we will have some showers today, some thunder
showers around near sixty degrees. Some of us will stay in the fifties.
And then tonight and tomorrow we're gonna watch them rain showers push east out of
the Triad, and the Triangle is probably gonna see more rain overnight tonight into
tomorrow, maybe an inch or two of rainfall. Then as you go west,
and I'm trying to find a good dividing line, let's just say west
of Chatham, Orange Counties and in through Percon County. Points west of that
very little rainfall. I think the heaviest rain is going to be from about
those points in east, and by seven grade o'clock tomorrow morning it's gonna even
push east of raleighing in through and out across Ey ninety five. So there's
a very fine line to where there's rain and where there's not. Tomorrow,
so showers, maybe a thundershower. Let me recap quickly today near sixty degrees
tonight, showers, thunderstorms in through tomorrow to about midday from the triangle east.
That's probably the best way to put it in. Maybe some heavy rain
overnight tonight, and then by Friday it's a lot easier, and into the
weekend it's pretty easy too, with sunshine back mid upper sixties Friday, seventy
five Saturday. You're eighty on Sunday, so beautifully Sunday coming up. So
a little tricky onto where the rain is and where it isn't, especially tonight
and through about the morning hours tomorrow, but after that we should be a
pretty good shape. All right, appreciate it. We'll talk in an hour,
sir. All right, okay, all right, have a good one,
seven forty nine back in just a few hang on, seventy year old
dude scoring some I would say, alone time, but they weren't alone with
this forty four year old woman right Robin the cradle. I'm that is again
it's a weighted scale. People are like, you must have seen an older
picture, right, I'm looking at her booking photo where they're both wearing prison
smocks. I guess probably because you know they have any clothes. So,
but you know you can decide whether she is. In fact, you can
raid her in your own league. She's obviously adventurous, likes to party,
as evidenced by the three empty bottles of vodka they found nearby. So anyway,
but let me ask something else. Uh all right, it took me
a moment, so I need a spy report. Where is this in Nightdale?
All right? So I've received I received a photo here of it looks
like they're renovating a Bojangles, right, you know, the taking it,
putting it if if you've been in some of the newer ones, they've got
a slightly different look, a little more modern. That's cool. That's fine,
however, and we'll tweet this photo out. If you look at it,
you realize that is in fact not a Bojangles. It does have the
lettering, is the right color. The building looks like a Bojangles. However,
it is clear on one side of the building because you can see two
sides of the building where the name is it says bo jagnoles the G in
the end or back? How do you do that? And then how do
you do it correctly on one side of the building where it is properly spelled
B O j A N G L E S And then you screw it?
And then you screw it up on arguably the front facing side of the building,
like that's the that's the side people are going to see from the street
there. How do you get how do you have literally one you're renovating a
Bojangles? Now, my spy report says, this is a night can somebody
can? I'm assuming that somebody caught that and they fixed it, right,
like somebody who walked out, maybe who works for Bojangles? Right, maybe
the manager is kind of supervising some of the construction auction. It's like,
what the how the hell? How do you misspell the bow Jangles? And
again you only misspell it on one side. I can't fathom that. Ac
O Day Radio program our number three, glad to have you along, all
right, So we uh we were doing spy reports on the uh the bo
Young Young Young Young Nails the Bojangles in Night Tale off sixty four. But
they got sent photos of one side where the name of the building is correct
on one side, and then there's they're rentaling it. And then you see
the workers on like a little lift and you know, up to up to
the misspell and they misspelled Bojangles on one of them. And I've got a
lot of people writing and they're like, yeah, well, you know construction
crews. You know, you got a bunch of people on there's probably people
on there. They don't speak English. Uh maybe, but like you're probably
right, I don't no. But also Spanish uses the our alphabet. I
know, the vowels do different things. And also the part that's misspelled.
The j a n g or j a n g l e are literally Spanish
words. It's it means sonar and then the smaller version, although I'm not
super familiar with it, so I had to look it up because i'd seen
it before, is a slang word for like somebody who's like incoherently making sounds.
They'd be like babbling, they could be drunk whatever. But yeah,
the other one literally translates to sonar, So I don't know that you can
use that as an excuse. But also I think they should have left it.
All right, let's get to the phones, U Ben, you're up
first, Go right ahead. Hey, hey man, I love the show,
first time calling. But that whole that whole place has been a big
conundrum. They decided to do a little facelift months ago, and uh,
the town of Nightdale is trying to be like Carrie. And since they changed
the face, they were grandfathered in, so they've been shut down for months.
They've lost thousands and thousands of dollars of business. Is it like a
sign ordinance thing? I know some cities got on that and then just started
screwing businesses. But that and uh, they had to do the sidewalk.
They had to make a part of the sidewalk to be compliance with the intersection
for people because they did that big park across the tile. All right,
Well then they maybe they just couldn't afford, Uh, I guess a spelling
supervisor. I don't know, but I got, I got. I have
two other friends or expanis, and I probably that they all know how to
spell bow Jangles. But I got another quick question. That's another but that's
also another good point. Like you know, if you go to the bow
Jangles around the corner from the radio station, the morning crew is almost exclusively
Hispanic that works in there. They're really good, by the way. You
know, we talked about how some restaurants. I mean, I think that
they're great, but I'm pretty sure they understand how to spell their employer and
the place that they eat. Uh. In that case, absolutely did.
I have a quick question too, something that I wondered, Why hasn't been
on the radar? Yes, sir Anti state between Poe Hal Remember last year
they had like six seven suicides a couple of murders within like a month.
How come there's not been any more investigation in the state. With all this
stuff that's going on with them, they kind of did their own thing.
I mean, the story's getting reported, but it's the wheels of government.
And initially they went and they said, nah, we looked and everything's fine.
And then people pointed out all the stuff you just pointed out, and
they're like, yeah, maybe we'll take a different look at it. So
I understand that that's the process it's in right now. And I've seen I've
seen pretty consistent reporting on it. I mean, it's not it is a
very important story. I just I don't know that it's a real good discussion
topic because you know, nobody's gonna call into the show and be like,
nah, if they're if they're poisoning kids, then then that should probably stay
right. There's not conflict there. It's just a it's just making sure that
the officials at the school do what they need to do. And it sounds
like they've kind of been shamed into some of that, sir. So the
multiple suicides and everything is a total different thing. I'm surprised that it'll make
like national headline. You know why. You know why it doesn't, sir,
And that is because if you look across the collegiate industry, uh,
the suicide rate for students as well as a few other real troubling issues like
NC State's not inconsistent in the numbers they're dealing with, which is sad,
man. I mean, it's very sad, but you know it's not.
You gotta be careful not to make it a Summer of the Shark issue while
also making sure that they're doing everything that they should be doing, especially for
what it costs to go even to NC State man. So yeah, so
I guess that'd be my answer to you. But I appreciate the call this
morning, sir. H yeah, oh that sucks too if that's your regular
bow Jangles. And it's been literally months of this all right, Boston,
Paul. Uh he sent me the photo. What's up, sir? Yeah,
it goes seven. Sent that's to my wife. That was down on
all night and Nightdale full of ar Yeah, and like that guy was saying
that been in a slow process there because night deal requires to have certain colored
bricks on the society of buildings and stuff. Oh really, I didn't know.
I didn't know when to come to that. Admittedly, I I don't.
I don't know is it in that shopping So I'm trying to picture whether
I guess I could look at it. Nah. Now I'm going towards,
going towards uh five forty way down the end of the night the bullard almost
okay, beginning there's still a crap ton of traffic going by it, so
like oh yeah, yeah, thousands of people saw that. That's that's yeah.
They They've built night Station over there is the Yeah, yeah, right.
I know where we're at now. Yeah, it's over there where the
brewery is. You know where the brewery is there? Around? Is that
how you? Is that how you give directions to things? Yeah? You
go to the brewery, go to the light, turn left us right there
and there right right after the other brewery? Gotcha? Okay? All right,
yeah, all right. I just survived Saint Patrick's Day. Uh you
know, yeah, maybe next I'm I'm still on the road, but I'll
be home soon. Okay. All right, Oh, you got to put
you send me an email real quick. I want to ask you about this.
Yeah, that's you bring up Boston. Paul, believe it or not,
brought up a very good point. That bridge up in Baltimore is the
route for anyone hauling chemicals, pro paying things like that, because you don't
want them going through the tunnels there. So you have an r V and
you said that they you couldn't drive through the tunnel, so you've physically had
to drive over that bridge. I may that's a good Yeah. What are
they gonna do? I don't know. I remember you're gonna have them in
Minneapolis. It screwed everything up, But uh, this sounds even worse because
of the hazardous waste concerns and uh right, so you're probably gonna have to
go through the city and that was gonna take you care, but you better
be heavily armed and wearing a flat jacket too well. Also, I feel
like if there was some sort of chemical spill that you maybe wouldn't even notice
in parts of Baltimore. That's right, all right, you have a good
day, all right to enjoy your bow squares. So let's look good.
Yeah, that's been No, that is a good point for all of you,
guys. I just say, guys, because we got we got female
truck drivers too, like to call the show. But for those of you
that are hauling up through Baltimore, what's that nightmare look like? Especially if
you if you're hauling something you can't hold through a tunnel, that's a that's
gonna be a huge go around right there. I can't even imagine what that's
adding. As well as you know, port concerns, things like that.
You know, there's there's there's a lot more than just the initial stuff that
we're seeing here with the I three with I thirty five, because it literally
was the only large bridge connector across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis near downtown,
so you either had to go all the way south to UH to two eighty
try I remember the highway number. You had to go all the way around
to to eighty. You could take the dinky Town Bridge, which was basically
a two lane slash pedestrian bridge. Dinky Town is the area on the other
side of the river in Minneapolis where the University of Minnesota is, but that
simply couldn't handle the traffic flow and for years years you just if you I
like I intentionally didn't go to North Saint Paul when I was living over on
the Minneapolis side because it was just too much of a pain in the butt,
and that at least had a couple options within a few miles. If
you've seen the bridge spans and you're not allowed to now use the tunnels as
well that are on the harbor, you have to go literally all the way
around Baltimore, and that'll cause extra congestion. Like I said, shipping issues
and just even a general nightmare scenario with just the average travel time for the
shipping of goods along the East Coast, which is obviously our nation's busiest corridor,
so we'll be we'll be keeping an eye on that, all right.
I ran I had a story yesterday and I didn't get to it. I
just that was my fault. Got a little sidetracked on some stuff. But
I have too many questions to ignore this, and I'm just gonna throw them
out and I'm gonna be very delicate and maybe somebody from the lawyering world can
can help me out. But this will be a little brainstorm session. So
here's what you need to know. There is a big court case that has
been filed in New York, Arizona, quite a few places over the production
and sale of bootleg and knockoff items. All right, this is this is
a problem. Generally we talk about it in dealing with China and other stuff.
But you know, for those of you who spend a minute in New
York City, you probably heard that if you want to go by knockoff stuff,
go to China towny you and get whatever you want. This is a
little different. These are high end adult products. Okay, I was.
I was looking at the pricing on some of this, and if you got
the money to blow, good for you. But holy crap. All right,
So basically, they are fantasy themed, so they're like adult toys but
with like Lord of the Rings and I Kids You Not the Fantastic Beasts vibe,
and even copyrighted references, which is going to bring up one of my
questions here in a moment. But the company that licenses and builds these high
end products says that several other companies have been ripping off their products and creating
knockoffs, and they point to several examples. One they say that they're just
smirched of besmirching the brand because the brand, which is owned by Bad Dragon
Enterprises, so that the other companies are using their ethically manufactured logoing and basically
they ethically manufactured. They're like a hipster adult products company and everything's made in
the USA and is ethically manufactured, whatever the hell that means. Fine,
Then they claim that the products are defective while attempting to look similar to theirs,
so it is hurting their brand. And this is where this is where
my biggest brainbuster lies. Okay, in the lawsuit, the company that makes
the high end toys that says in other company's ripping them off, they claim
not only are they not made in the USA and have quality issues, but
also they in some cases the visible design is too similar, which I have
a question, like when you're talking about that particular item, they all kind
of have a similar look for obvious reasons. So that's one part. But
the other part, and this is what specifically is named. They identify thirteen
of their best selling brands, which carry names like Kelvin, the Ice,
Dragon stand the t Rex, Virgil the I can't read some of these.
They're dragon themed. They and or Demi Gorgon themed, and have also included
legal product tie ins with the Fantastic bast series. So get that wrap that
through your head, right. This isn't people licensing to make McDonald's toys.
They're literally licensing this this brand. They have a licensing agreement to produce themed
adult stuff, which is fine whatever. I guess if you have a if
you're a big Harry Potter person and you got you know, all the Harry
Potter other stuff, you might as well and the you know that drawer under
your socks have Harry Potter themed stuff if that's what you want to do.
God bless America. But the lawyers for the company state that they are the
products. While they look similar utilize, they utilize it's an inaccurate representation of
a dragons? How do I say this? They're claiming that they cheaped out
on the manufacturing, and while their product contains a suction cups and various textural
things, the knockoffs don't, so they feel poor quality when the product was
intended to be a quote accurate representation of a dragon's nether regions. And this
is a legal argument they're making, which means which means they are going to
have to say no, no, our product accurately portrays a dragon's private area,
whereas their product, because it is poorly constructed as not. How is
that legally arguable? Who is the expert you're putting on this stand to go?
Well, your honor, I've examined both items, and this one clearly
feels like a dragon's whereas this one does not. How does that person know?
And if they're making the legal argument, that's something that they're going to
have to prove to I guess to the court. And I am simultaneously repulsed
but not repulsed. I I don't understand why this is someone's thing, but
if it is, they're not harming anyone. But also that they would literally
make an argument that it's it's it's not an accurate representation of a dragon's Could
you imagine being the poor bastard to hug I had to go check dragons generally
are they're not in a good mood and they're probably sure not in a good
mood if you're in there with a sketch pad and some folk photography, so
you can get it right. Uh, they're asking basically, and then they
get into the normal stuff like they're basically asking for they're trying to put the
business who's copying them out of business, which I understand, but I want
I just I don't want to I don't like watching court cases on TV,
but I want to watch the I want to watch some dude in a suit
explain to the court as as part of a legal argument, how they are
they know the accurate representation of that, whereas this other company doesn't because it's
a dragon that we're talking about, or a dema gorgon that also had to
be hard to inspect, and just some other stuff. Uh, the cotula
cotulhu so dumb but raises so many questions. All right, Sorry, I
got sidetracked there, because these are the things that bounce around in my brain,
and everyone else should have to suffer as well, if I am,
Does that make sense? Okay? Good phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. We got a whacked out Hillary Clinton's story.
Since this whole hour's off the rails, and we'll get to it coming up
here in just a few minutes. It is the case O Day Radio program.
Hang on, here's what you need to know going back to the Clinton
administration. Obviously you probably are old enough to remember the Monica Lewinsky scandal,
right and that whole thing, and it had to and it always does.
Whenever I see these politicians like they're standing in front of a bunch of microphones
going yeah, I'm sorry I sent that picture might junk to the fifteen year
old and their spouses standing there. I mean, that's just not normal.
And then you know, it'd be the spouses turn. They'll be like,
you know, we we we want some privacy during this time in our family.
But my you know, my husband or my wife. I guess in
some instances with the chick who was combing the hair of the congresswoman, you
know, they're still trying to protect and to some extent. I guess I
do get it, because chances are that the largess that that family lives on
and the power and money that comes with it is intrinsically connected to even this.
You know, their garbage spouse, so you want to protect that.
I guess that would be human nature. I just don't know that everyone would
have the lack of a soul to be able to do it. But okay,
but it was even though it wasn't publicly with the Clintons fought out.
According to the biography by Gail she he missus Clinton actually refused to talk to
Bill Clinton for eight months, So they're just just ghosting him around the White
House for eight months. Wouldn't even have a conversation with him eight months.
I'm sure if you out there have been cheated on by a spouse or a
significant other, right you could fathom that level of anger permeating like I'm not
judging her for that. I get it. However, this is where it
gets crazy because you coupled that information, which was in a book which was
well sourced. Right there was multiple White House officials who were just talking about
the chill in the air that was in the White House and yet from the
public facing standpoint, Bill Clinton still having a president and Hillary Clinton, if
you remember, she had she had various things that she worked on. Arguably
she was one of the most in modern history. Involved first ladies and you
know Michelle Obama with her food thing. To a lesser extent, you know
missus Bush. But she was doing a lot of stuff, and in fact,
they would send her, they would send her out on diplomatic missions,
and of course eventually she was Secretary of State. So it all comes together.
And when you partner that story with what I'm about to tell you,
it's a it's a crazy thing. So about eight months after the Lewinsky thing
broke, now we're in mid mid to late March, Hillary has been sent
on a diplomatic fact finding mission. She's in North Africa. She is in
If you remember, at that time, you had Bosnia, Herzegovina, Sarajevo,
you know, you just you had that whole element. You had Slovanedon
Melosovich, who was literally convicted of a committing a modern genocide within at the
Hague, right, So you had all of this stuff going on. I
actually I have a a friend who I've known him for about a year and
a half and he kind of like found himself in our football watching group.
And what I didn't realize because he's got a New York accent, I didn't
realize he literally is from Kosovo. Kosovo is we always? He says,
Kasovo, So I'll trust him, and he's he's he's about five years older
than me. And dude, the stories just bonkers. But when he was
a teenager, they you know, they got the hell out of there.
They went to New York and you can hear his accent on that. But
the US involvement, the NATO alliance and our decision to bomb there was that
was a big deal in his life. And that was a big decision that
the US made. What I didn't realize until Ross actually saw this, Yes,
stay and send it to me. Is it perfectly lines up. On
March twenty first, which is four days before the US decided that they were
going to start flinging missiles into Serbia, a phone call was made by Hillary
to Bill. I remember they had not been on speaking terms except in the
most generica fashions for eight months. Choosing to communicate even simple things through various
aids and staff members. You know that's the whole Yeah, will you tell
my wife blah blah blah, Well you tell then tell my husband this and
then some poor bastards in the middle of having to do the ten can game.
On March twenty first, according to the latest autobiography and backed up by
references in the nineteen ninety nine biography, the context of the phone call was
Hillary Clinton had gone to Sarajevo, North Africa, you name it, and
she had come to the conclusion that the US needed needed to start get militarily
involved and start slinging missiles. And so she made this phone call. And
this is backed by a reporter who was literally on the trip. So Clinton
is saying, look, I'm calling my husband. This is what we're gonna
say, telling reporters this. According to Lucinda Frank's reporter, Clinton argued the
issue in a lengthy phone call that started on the twenty first and then proceeded
over the next two days, all the while demanding that Bill Clinton, as
the president, start bombing stuff, specifically Sarajevo. Hillary, who stated an
open opinion about her husband's hesitancy about using force in Bosnia, was the first
American official to go to Bosnia after the date and peace accords. She talked
to generals I guess, looked at some pictures, eventually went there. From
Kesovo to Egypt, and that is where she started pestering her husband for days
to bomb. Well guess what following those strings of phone calls and a rather
loud conversation with Hillary is her, According to Franks, yelling at Bill Clinton,
quote, you got to bite the bullet man up. The US military
started, we entered, we entered the bombing campaign. So this dude,
this dude messed up, obviously, is you know, cold shoulder is a
very soft description from his wife. He's he's not sleeping on the couch,
but he's sleeping on the couch right for eight months and then when his wife
finally decides she's going to speak to him again, it's only to tell him
that if you don't do this, I'm gonna still be mad at you.
So he bombed a country, so so his wife wouldn't be mad at him.
Who are these people? I'm sorry? And is that an in?
And I will I will ask you and we'll retweet a tweet that has both
of these little chunks. I don't feel like I misrepresented that. I mean,
I look, I'm sure that Bill talked to a few other people,
but you know, here's here's his wife who won't talk to him for eight
months because he can't stop, you know, screwing her out the help.
And then the way that they solve their differences is he he lets her browbeat
him into murdering people with missiles. And it's not Look, it's not to
say that there were good things going on with the Melosovich and everything that was
happening in that part of the world. That being said, I don't feel
like a militarial decisions should be based on a lover's quarrel. But you be
the judge. A little complex to get into that on radio, but I
think he got the gist of it. And make sure you follow us on
Twitter at Casey on the radio. I don't know how else to view that
series of events. When you couple these two book chapters together, that's wild
man, That is crazy. Do you think secretly Millenia was like trying to
get him, like he wouldn't bomb stuff, you know, that was cutting
out his thing, right, Like I don't know who is Slovenia hate.
I don't even know the answer to that. But whoever they got beef with?
Right? You think she's like, come on, hey, come on,
Donald, you got the button? These Slovakians, I guess would that
be the beef? I don't know, right, they've they've had it too
easy, too long. Ye, he was the one hundred and first.
I shouldn't laugh about it, but it just it shows you with what little
regard for human decency. So our leadership will operate with I guess if if
there has to be a takeaway, that's it anyway. Forty six rastagic from
the Weather Channel. Are you ever been in a fight with the wife?
Right? And it's like, all right, you're on the couch, you're
in the guest room, right, that's just me. You know, it's
part of your married long enough, Right, that's part of it. That
is, did you get out of jail by decimating a country with cruise missiles?
Or did you have to just like apologize to apology? Yes? I
think she called them Donald, but I'm just I'm just saying no because it
was all the stories. Hill was a Clinton going back to the Lensky thing,
all right, and what's in this book? And it's like I just
I'm just wondering if Melania ever is like you know what, whoever Slovenians have
beef with, like, wanted to weaponize her relationship. I suspect she didn't,
but but what a crazy reason to uh in involve us anyway, For
this was part of a larger offensive campaign that also included North Africa and you
know famously the Blackhawk down uh story that we're familiar with a lot of other
stuff. So dude, crazy, All right, Sorry, I took your
weather. I'm trying to this. What do you got? Well, a
little damp right now, a shower filling back in out over the triad,
even a little thunder near high Point, Winston Sound, Greensboro, Davidson County
and southwest of a triangle. Now I'll see more rain and thunderstorms filling in,
so showers even a few thunderstorms around today and tonight and tomorrow. Now,
tomorrow, the line's going to be more easy, so more triangle than
tryad of the rain and thunderstorms even on through late tonight where there could be
an inch or two of rain with less to the west. And then we
get out of all this by the late weekend into the weekend with sunshine back.
Beautiful run coming up Friday, been up her sixties, by Saturday in
the mid seventies, and by Easter Sunday it'll be near eighty degrees. So
a couple of days of wet weather and then it gets real nice around here.
Okay, all right, thank you, appreciate it. Talk tomorrow,
yep, yep. And Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News joins us next, Hang
on, Jeff, what's happening? Well, Good morning, Casey. The
Tuesday session on Wall Street didn't live up to its early promise. Major averages
started out higher, but they ended lower. We've got another shot at a
positive opening this morning, though futures are higher right across us, the board
now futures or up one hundred sixty two. President Biden is saying the federal
government should pay to rebuild the bridge that collapsed in Baltimore, and the President
is asking Congress to approve of price tag expected to run into the billions of
dollars. The latest rental report from realtor dot com says renting is now less
expensive than buying a starter home in all of the nation's major metros. In
Raleigh, the median monthly rent is nine hundred ninety nine dollars less than the
monthly cost of homeownership. Demand for home loans eased last week. Mortgage bankers
report total application volume is down seven tens percent. Higher energy bills are weighing
on our buying power. Primerica's monthly Household Budget Index says a rapid rise and
gas prices has had an impact on middle income purchasing power, which was lower
last month than it was in January. In case, it's been a tumultuous
week for former Republican National Committee Chair Rona McDaniel. She was hired and fired
by NBC. The network planned to make McDaniel a use contributor, but it's
progressive on air host protested, so NBC decided it would be difficult for McDaniel
to get much airtime, and she was let go. Casey, she gotta
get paid too. It looks like because like the lawyers and I saw some
of the statements like they had signed on the dotted line. So god knows
what that's gonna cost them. But all right, we shall see appreciated there,
Jeff, talk to you tomorrow, all right, Have a good day.
