Do you rush? Do you know how long it took the to go through
the house. And I'm pretty I would to be very clear. I'm joking
here, but like I gotta remember not to touch anything or eat stuff.
Now it's stuff you shouldn't be eating or touching, probably for a certain amount
of time. But that dude had it down to a science. But it
took a very long time. It's very very thorough and I don't know,
man, I want this big nightmare to be over. People were said to
be condolence stuff. You know. You know how we get emails in the
afternoon for people listening to the podcast and then try to track back with their
commenting on Sometimes people were just I got I got an email from somebody goes,
oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, and I you know how,
there's a moment in your head where you're like, what do they mean?
Did did our boss die? I mean, what happened? And then I
done to me, I'm like, oh podcast, hey duns, and you're
always gonna be the bug guy now, No, no, don't don't you
dare. I'm not I'm not trying to spread that. I'm just saying that's
how it's gonna be I'm not the bugs, like the kid eating paste.
I'm the guy who overcame the bugs. I think, right, you're you're
the destroyer of the bugs. Yes, I'm I'm Uh what was what's the
dude's name, Casper van Dyne? Is that good? Should I be Casper
van Dyne? Was that the dude's name from Starship Troop? Yeah? Right,
he's the right. Remember what happened to his his whole family down in
Brazil or whatever the last city on earth was those bugs. Man, you
can't turn your back on him. They'll come after you. Are you wearing
one of those suits? I am? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Ross. Okay, so here's the deal. I'm gonna talk about this on
the air or whatever. So Ross, And by the way, the level
of concern yesterday, not for me, but for you also was a little
weird. Yeah. No, people are afraid that, like, the bugs
will come to my house and then they'll upset my kid. They're like,
oh my gosh, you're the same. Ross and I have literally never broadcast
out of the same studio ever. We're this is this is a pro level
act. Kids, Okay, right, uh, we got we're rolling large.
We can't get a window, but so they're having us go to a
new camera system, which is how you connect the various studios, and Ross's
camera showed up first, so he was screwing with that. This morning,
you got it all set up, you're happy with it. It's where do
you? Is there still troubleshooting to do? I think I think I'm all
set Yeah, okay, my camera should be here tomorrow, I guess because
we had to order different separately. So we'll get that all set up.
Have you shot an of yet? The thing's four K? Right? You
know, it's a shame that you We're gonna hook up your camera, but
then you had the bug problem and then you had to use the flamethrower and
now that room is completely destroyed and now you can't record anything. It's it's
it's a shape. This is this is a devious plot by management for more
web content without Ross and I having to do anything. So I kind of
get it. But also I didn't get into radio to have a camera.
The hell are you talking about? But then I thought they're gonna they're gonna
go through looking for content, and like we should do really weird crap during
the breaks, right, oh dude, I'm your guy. All right,
So like, yeah, all right, hey we come back. Wait wait
till you hear the the Biden audio about what he's gonna do in the the
overflow room. All right, that's next, all right. Then we go
into commercial break and then on the camera in in synchronous motion, Ross and
I get up in our in our in our separate studio environment, walk over
and while uh gregory and chanting, and grab druid robes and a live chicken
and a knife, and then walk out of the frame, and then about
four and a half minutes later, coming back, no more chicken, what's
that on the knife? Druid thing? Back in there? Hey guys,
welcome back. It's six forty five case you and then just say nothing.
I know you're playing the long game there, but eventually they're gonna see something
they might have me. You know, I'm on board, but I'm ready.
I have the hats, I have the gillies, I have the Samurai
sword. I know it's not you know, that's not Druid period specific or
what the Druids use or obviously samurai swords. But we're innovating, man,
we're adapting. We're overcoming, so and then we just think up random,
random stuff and then just you know, put it into the little time codes.
Hey you might like this. Oh no, we didn't mean that that
to be on there. I don't know why. Is everything just me trying
to figure out how to screw with people? Probably because people are screwing with
me. That's all I could assume. There's no other conclusion that I can
draw. These are not serious people. It is one big theater production.
And if that is the case, bravo, mister President from the list of
Live. First of all, he was made up quote suckers are losing.
I was with he called America in the cemetery of World War One, suckers
are losing. That's right. Current President Joe Biden at the time that Trump
was president, was with him. I obviously the federal government's chief psychic,
saw what was coming, and I was like, hey, you're next.
You probably should get in there. Joe Biden just claimed to be in France
with Trump when he said so and losers, essentially adding a on the record,
high profile source to the horrible reporting from the Atlantic that literally didn't deliver
what they said they were going to deliver, which was the sources. Now
Biden's the source. That has to be theater. That's too checkable. He's
claiming to be on another continent as a former vice president, as somebody who
has Secret Service detail. I want to be clear here, he's not.
There's not a question like, well, Joe said he went to the store
and we haven't seen him for three days. Maybe he's in France. I
know what you're thinking, like passports and stuff, Jason Bourne. I'm assuming
that you. I'm assuming if your president or vice president. When you're done,
you have the safety the the why can I remember the name of this
the security box depos Yes, oh man, it's gonna be a morning,
right, the safety deposit box. And you have, you know, currency
from about five different places, multiple passports. You get to make up a
bunch of names. Ross. Have you figured out what your first alias main
passport would be, cause you get you can make up whatever you want.
Oh, hold on, you's screening a call. Yeah, you get like
you get a bunch of those, so it's a little harder to track them.
But you have to not be seen, and you have to not be
around a bunch of people who have to log their every moment and your every
moment. It's wild. And also and also I know this isn't true.
Look, one of the things I didn't I don't like to do on this
show is brag. Okay, Ross, you not for self promotion. I've
heard that would be okay. So knowing that a conscious decision was made,
but I can't stand by I and Roight. We know that Joe Biden was
not with him in Normandy because after the event, and by the way,
Trump stayed for the whole event and didn't run to a TV interview and go,
oh my god, I had to ditch those suckers and losers. Whoops,
you got me, like Rishi whatever. Over in the UK. After
the event, Trump's like, hey, guys, I wanna go to Olive
Garden and he flew us on Air Force one to the original one in Italy
because it's right there corner booth. Didn't even have to ask. It was
amazing. So and by the way, you're going, wait, hold on,
this doesn't track. Ross says he never leaves the country. And I
would point to a rather interesting loophole. If he is with the President of
the United States and he is with our delegation, Uh, within our embassy
the president. The president is not subject in the same way that you or
I am to the whims of other countries. So it is arguable that the
president is in a permanent state of a an embassy. So if you are
in his presence, what do we know about embassies? A US embassy is
US soil just is just as it is for other countries here in the US.
So if we're on Air Force one, that's an American plane, and
uh, we're with the president and uh literally the delegation of diplomats there,
I think he I think you could argue he's still in the US. Problem
solved, mission accomplished, get us the banner, and there is no Joe
Biden there. So yeah, I'm just saying, like, this stuff is
so I again, I don't I don't know that they should be fact checking
on the fly, and I don't expect Morning Joe to do it. But
what the hell happened on that thing? I saw that he was going on
Morning Joe and I'm like, Okay, this should be interesting, and we
got a ton of audio and it all gets for Wow that like that might
be one of the winners. But it's progressively awful. I saw a Washington
Post thing and they're like, and she's it's called white embarrassment, and I'm
like, oh, dear God, what is this? And I don't want
to say it's an interesting thread because I think she's onto something that's just like
the contortions that you have to do to not sit there and go this isn't
good. And if you think ironically everything that a lot of people said that
was not good about Donald Trump and in some cases is probably I would agree
with you. Right, you've heard you've heard me on here where I'm just
like, oh, I wish Trump wouldn't do that. You have Biden doing
this stuff on steroids in some cases and and maybe not knowing that he's doing
it, and that's terrifying. Did you see yesterday the former Speaker of the
House. Did you see what he said? And I'm mad as hell at
him. Why are you only saying this now? The amount of stuff that
media and UH and your representatives are saying now that they add that they sat
on, what the hell is going on? All right? So here's what
Kevin McCarthy said the end. I want to be very clear, these are
policy meetings. These are not the turkey, you know, the turkey pardon
or h what what color is the Christmas theme gonna be? Or or whatever
you would normally associate with the First family. Right, these are these are
big boys. We'll use their term, which you'll find out what that means
coming up. These are big boy decisions or if it's a woman present,
big girl or whatever. But it is the it's the Bill burd bit,
right. If you haven't heard Bill Burr's bit, he and and of course
he he you know, he is provocative at the entry and that's just that's
how he is. But he's not wrong. And he's like, if you're
the first lady, shut up and decorate. And then we're like, oh
gosh. And I added paraphrasing because he's he's much funnier than me. But
like I did to hire you, you would hire a plumber and their spouse
show up and be like, well, look I'm married to a plumber.
No Joe Biden sitting in on policy meetings. I'm going to repeat that with
high level meetings with the President, the Speaker of the House, the head
of the senatece. You got Schumer in there, you got McCarthy, you've
got Joe Biden. Is them agreeing on stuff is what moves things along,
even if it's probably didn't need moved along. And Joe Biden sitting in there,
can you I like, I can't imagine. I know that they're talking
about right now. You know, Hunter Biden's at some of the meetings.
I'm not saying I understand that decision, but I understand why the family and
those around Joe might think that there are people that don't have his best interest
in mind. Because they don't because they'll throw you away in an instant.
And I and and from a leadership standpoint, it's pretty clear that we shouldn't
be in the position where that decision is having to be made. But they'll
write that train until they feel that there's too sharp a curve coming and then
and and bail immediately. And then you have to kind of lean in on
people you think you can trust. That's not what's going on here. This
is this is way before this. This is McCarthy and and them sitting down
to UH to do big boy stuff. And and now Kevin McCarthy says,
stuff, screw you, dude, the hell is wrong with you? Donna?
What's up? Good morning, Casey, can you hear me? All
right? Uh huh, Okay, just wanted to do a bug check.
You know what I was imagining when you were talking about your studios higher in
separate studios. I bet Ross's is meticulously set up and super clean. He's
got all of his action figures lined up and his bobble head and all that
stuff, And yours is like Oscar Madison's bedroom. You've got sandwiches stuffed,
three day old sandwiches, stuff on the newspapers. And you're half right.
You were half right. Donna. Ross is a fine collection of all sorts
of chotchkeys and collectibles. He prefers the term collectibles and then just some random
stuff like if if you guys, if there was a kid coming in to
visit the radio station with his parents, that's the room I would stick the
kid in. Ross would want there, you go, put the kid mine
the spark spartan, absolutely spartan, except I do have a bunch of stacked
boxes because I'm not hauling them downstairs. Okay. The other thing I wanted
to know, Hey, listen, I got three seconds. Did you hear
what the mayor of Chicago said about the shootings? All hundred of them,
or just the seventeen where they were killed, all hundred of them, all
the black on black crime. I'm gonna look it up because I literally I'm
going to hit a hard break. I will look it up and we'll go
for there. Donna, thank you very much for the call, and we
will be right back in just a few minutes. Hang on talking about coups
and stuff off the air, you know, light stuff, all right,
Donna, I'm assuming you're referring to this. Hey, for all of you,
I'm not scolding you, Donna, but if I tell you I have
thirty seconds, I mean it. And because the alternative is literally it cuts
us both off and that doesn't sound good. So I'm not trying to be
mean to you when I'm doing it. It's I. I don't control that.
Ross control No, Ross doesn't control it. The log controls it.
We are slaves to the log. Okay, all right? AnyWho, So
I guess if you didn't hear, oh, it's I underquoted part of this.
More than one hundred people were shot in Chicago over the fourth of July
weekend nineteen fatally, I know it's one in five A good I mean If
you're gonna do something, do it right. I'm not encouraging more people to
be shot. I would encourage you not to shoot people unless you know they
need shooting because you know they're breaking into your house to rape and kill your
family or whatever. Maybe not even in that order, fine, but you
know, for just I'll limit my comments to Felon on Fellon violence. You
guys could do better. And plus, if you're more precise with your shots,
then I don't have to read these horrific stories about the kid who thought
he was getting an icy and he got a bullet instead. Okay, they
can't bury you beneath the prison enough, you pieces of crap who did that
in Durham, who will probably will never be executed, who should be on
TV today to entertain me later. Sorry, I'm a little grouchy, but
my house is it's no things where it should be because I had to pull
everything. It's just crazy, very annoyed by it. But that would make
me happy. Yes, I'm that guy because I agree with Mark Robinson.
Some people need killing, I know, and I'm on the train. If
you're gonna be just randomly murder little kids who think they're getting an icy,
you're on that list. Okay, all right, sorry, small rant.
So nineteen fatally, one hundred injured over the fourth of July weekend. And
it's what's crazy is the non blinking that people do when you hear Chicago numbers
for these things anymore? Do you remember when those numbers used to like blow
your mind? I remember it. And we do this for a living.
Okay, well, I do this for a living, and I remember the
first time. I sorry, a salesperson just asked me for a spot?
What after the show? What is Can you record that right now? Would
it be an issue? What do you mean? Can you record it right
now? You want me to record it? Yeah? Live on the air?
Can you do it right now? Is it an issue? I could?
I could bang out that spot? Yeah? Absolutely? Is that what
the audience wants to hear me record a commercial? Wellt's see what's the commercial
for? Is it Hayes for share post apocalyptic meat? No, it's for
I sell health Okay, very fine. Clients for people who want to buy
insurance but don't want to do Obamacare, because people who do Obamacare think that's
their only choice. And that's what they want you to think. Because they're
the government, all right, little conspiracy in there. I should there's probably
something I'd get in trouble for doing it in some way, shape or form,
but just to do it out of spite so people don't send me emails.
But I'm in the middle of the first hour of my show. What
was the other one? You want to do? Ross's horse meat thing or
the the It was that for the kids? Right, Sorry, I'm a
little on edge for obvious reasons. Is it? Is it because of the
bugs? It's not helpful, It's not contributing to positive man, just because
I'm I look, I'm I'm I'm very happy with the way things were going.
Like I was. Really, I didn't know what to expect yesterday,
and I was very pleased with it. But you know, that's not a
one day thing. And I know people are like, just prank the house
to ninety and leave for two days. I read about that, and you
like, it works sometimes, but not really, and you have to the
proper condict because people's houses are different temperatures. And I appreciate all that.
You know, my dad dide two tours in Vietnam and he wasn't affected by
the bugs. Shrugged it off. Yeah, I mean I get that.
I don't don't really have a response for that because like that's probably also like
was he more concerned about the bugs or being shot at, right, or
you know pungee stick pits? Right, I think it's the shooting and the
pungy pits. Yet, so I'm in a position where like, I'm not
gonna I'm not going to you know, be up in my kitchen making food
later and then step too close to something and then in a pungee pit.
That's not going to be a thing. So I don't have that concern.
So I I feel like I can prioritize bugs rather than tunnel people or whatever
comeing to trap me. Dude, I watched, I don't know, I
watched. It's like a one hour documentary. I still have got to thee
with the point, but I will of like the traps of Vietnam. He
ever seen that? Yeah, I've seen all of them. Yep. Oh
my gosh. You're just thinking, oh, there's the because you've seen in
other movies. Right, you get the looks like leaves and it's actually just
a bunch of like carved bamboo. Hunter and then dudes impaled. No,
No, they have they had a lot of time on their hands. I've
watched videos too on like the creatures of Vietnam, like the insects and the
bugs and the snakes. And you see that picture going around social media of
the guy like holding up what looks like a centipede demon going from his head
down to his feet. You know the picture I'm talking about. Yep,
yeah, Jacks and people are like, oh, it's photoshop. It's like,
no, it's a real thing that's over there. I my current biggest
and I and good, I'll say insect, but then somebody's some erected experts
gonna be like, oh, tactically it's a thing, all right, for
what most people when you say bugs, you can be caterpillar. Caterpillar would
be a bug, the centipede of doom that Ross is referring to, or
a spider, right, And I'm sorry, something's really really gonna have to
put in the hours to beat the Afghan the camp was it? The camel
spider? The thing that literally while it's you liquefy your inside. We had
people call in before who you know, had done tours over there. Yeah,
have no idea terrifying that it bites into you while you're sleeping, and
it numbs the pain so you don't know you're being bit, and it just
keeps biting into till there's a giant You wake up and then there's a giant
hole in your leg and it's liquefied inside. That's the other part, because
whatever it's using, because it's not chewing, it's secreting something that's turning you
into a milkshake while you sleep. I'm sorry, is there something worse than
that ross? That or the the millipede of Doom? I feel like in
the uh all, hell, no, it's got to be the spider there,
right, gotta be the spider. Any back to this, and then
during the break where we're faking another thing, will you just you go in
your drawer and you get the millipede of doom and I get the spider thing
with that, and then we walk towards some management's office can come back without
them. They'll be searching that whole other side of the building for days.
I'm just getting ideas the whole way. So what is your response when you're
the mayor of a city who celebrated the fourth of July by murdering nineteen of
your citizens and attempting to murder a eighty one more. You gotta find somebody
to blame, and he did. And you know what, this is a
good This is an oldie, but a goodie. As they say, let's
see here. Initially, he said, we're here to emphatically say that this
is enough. It's enough when there's reckless violence ravages our city at this magnitude
were leaves. We're losing a piece of the soul of Chicago. I feel
like that that is a process that began well before you, sir. He
also urged federal authorities to respond to mass shootings in Chicago. Basically, it's
like, you need more gun grabber laws. And then a reporter asked him
if he'd heard any gunfire from the ten shootings that took place over the weekend
where his family lives. That's wild to me, right, they're even shooting
up this dude's neighborhood and he's and he's over the West Side, So I
mean, he's not in a bad place as beautiful anyway, as beautiful as
that area is, it's a neighborhood that unfortunately has been neglected over the course
of decades. So yeah, we hear the shots. Actually they're like,
oh it's gentrified. Yeah, here we go. And then and then finally
this quote, we are standing here today talking about a violent weekend because of
generations of disinvestment and disenfranchisement that runs deep in the exact communities where so much
of the violence has taken place, you know. The newsweek damn it,
they cut off part of the quote here, all right, hang on,
sorry, I'm trying to do this on the fly. They ended up.
I had like ten seconds to Phil, and I want to I want to
be very specific. Uh yeah, no, no, no, this is
what we're doing. I'm gonna cut a spot now. We're doing this.
Everybody's jacking up my scheduling today because my not Dona, but my internet right
now, all right, because I like to give you accurate quotes rather than
spin them and give you part of them. Little thing I strive to do,
all right, dude, Yeah, I cannot. I cannot echo enough
they the the worthlessness that the Google search engine is becoming, and not even
for stuff that's controversial. I mean this obviously hast I was like, I
was googling something that was so innocuous yesterday and it was like, how can
you not understand what I'm asking? How do you? How do you not
know this? All right? Here we go? All right, so the
quote I read you, Oh, what is wrong with you, dude?
Is there is there something wrong with our actual network? All right? Here
we go. So when you hear that quote that he was talking about,
he's talking about the years of you know, disinvestment and this enfranchisement he is,
he's running the gamut of who he's blaming. And he said, we're
standing here today talking about the violent weekend. Black death has unfortunately accepted in
this country for a very long time. We had a chance sixty years ago
to get at the root cause, and people mocked Lyndon Johnson and we ended
up with Richard Nixon. That's right, the mayor of Chicago, who I'm
pretty sure he wasn't alive when Nixon was in office. He's not that old.
Is he blamed Richard Nixon for what happened in Chicago over the weekend.
That's what Dick Nixon, You're the one who done it, which is wild
to me but also a really good catch all scapegoat. I guess I wonder
if he was just on the fly, like oh, who should we blame?
And if you're willing to blame people are either dead, had nothing to
do with it, or whatever. I mean, the list is endly you
blame the Smurfs next weekend and with Gargamel, Right, but why do I
know that? Still the amount of crap that we retain that I don't know
will ever be useful again, except that one fleeting moment is pretty amazing.
All right, six forty eight Cacoday Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. So I have to like delete this email
because it's just triggering me? Is that? How is though the words we
use? I'm not in college campuses right now, so I don't know how
it how it works? All right? Coming up on the show, the
Washington Post article or article string of thoughts, it's it would be more accurate
whiteness and embarrassment, and so coming from the Washington Post, you just you
know it's going to be great. And then also let me just throw this
in here. Just before the show, Ross, I think you screwing around
with your camera. We had a commercial that ran on the Raleigh station for
Kids Bop, which is they had like the list of tours, all the
tours that are coming to North Carolina, and one of them was Kids Bop.
I don't remember where it was, but it was in Raleigh. I
don't remember if it was Red Hat or whatever. But is that still a
thing? Kids Bop? I had no idea that was still a thing.
Now. We were not ross and I were way too old for the initial
Kids Pop. But I remember those insanely nails on chalkboard videos. Not because
I want your kid to be fun or whatever, but you know, I
was right at that age where I'm like, I would rather go where those
camel spiders are. But the kids are singing along, they're having a great
time. Like I get it. Now, twenty something year old me didn't
get it. I get it. I still want to go, but I
get it, Okay, But I remember or because of the age of the
kids, like, you're not having them. They're not in there singing,
uh you know John Lennon stuff, right, They're not They're not doing grateful
dead covers. The kids are pretty relegated to what he is in the uh,
the zeitgeist at the moment. And you know, when this thing came
on, you had enough sanitized hits that you could do it right, you
could run the gamut. I remember Hanson was on there, obviously, was
there Matchbox twenty, you know, and and these were the songs that were
currently hot. Because the kids their their their their memory, their time span
there is so short. What the hell are the kids singing now? Wap?
Yeah, I have no idea it has to be. I mean,
Taylor Swift has to be on there. Okay, fine, kaylor Swift's probably
on there. But I but I'm like if I just went and looked at
a list of the top one, you know, the top one hundred across
the dude, I am so out of the loop on any music that's that
right now, like any I'm like way Pop I went to last year,
so there was time there to maybe have it that reached me through a commercial
or something. I'm so not I'm so old. I'm not old. I'm
discerning. That's the word I'm gonna go with, because there is newer stuff
that I actually think is is pretty good. Right, I can genuinely respect
talent regardless of format, with the exception of just very rarely, just very
rare things. I just like, no, I'll give it, I'll give
it a sample. I don't know one. I don't know most of these
songs. I don't know that I could pronounce on the air some of these
songs. So one of the kids they killed alternative rock, that's dead.
You realize that, I don't somebody's gonna get irritated. But it has been
absolutely sayed up that I can't even anymore anyway. I just I just wanted
to throw it out there because it's baffles me. But I don't know.
Maybe when he has been to the kids bot, I don't know what the
kids are singing. But if they're singing WAP, I want to see that
promo commercial because they ain't gonna know why they're singing it. But it's like
people should go to jail. And some of the other songs, like the
titles are fine, but if you look into the lyrics and I I have
no idea, I have no answers. So, but we do have more
stories coming up after the news hang on, Oh we'll never We'll never know
what what did? What did his tortured soul want to speak about? Uh?
Ross? When he screened them? Do you ever remember some very serious
political event? I can't recall. He was gonna he was gonna cut into
me over the bugs, wasn't he? He had some thoughts of the bugs?
Yes, yeah, okay, I assume in Boson you don't even notice
because the entire town's infested. Is that accurate? Had you heard that?
Just bed bugs everywhere the whole city. You don't have to look. Don't
check that. Google will lie to you. By the way, uh,
I am h who was a dibbs. Somebody wrote the because I've heard this
theory and I subscribed to it years ago, that Google, when you have
like ninety percent of the market share and you want more ads, just make
people have to look at more pages to find what they want. And there's
a break even point before people go, I'm willing to shift my allegiance to
Duck Duck Go or one of the others. Right, by the way,
do not call me and explain the ownership history of Duck Duck Go. Right.
People can look it up. I'm not getting into it on the air.
You know why get people get so crazy about that nobody cares right now
because they have eyes, And then Google it because they'll give you the worst
version, and then duck duck go it and they'll give you the best and
that's where we are because there's two truths. So anyway, so yeah,
I like that conspiracy theory and but like at this point it's getting ridiculous.
It's just ridiculous, man. Although I will say this, it's not my
favorite conspiracy theory today. All right, Ross, do you know the big
hot, the hot new conspiracy with having to do with the hurricane. There's
a barrel conspiracy. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh dude,
yes, And it's not the standard Heart made it right, because that's the
usual one, right, Oh, Heart made the uh the thing and to
make a make people get on the global warming train or whatever. So no,
so if you look at the path or the projected path that it's that
it is currently working on and the path of totality for the eclipse, they're
basically the same. Why would a hurricane across through North America on the exact
same path as the eclipse main path? And what I love is it's both
a conspiracy but one that requires people who kind of think they can explain it
scientifically to create their own conspiracy theory to combat it. Right, They're saying
things like, well, it's the rotation of the Earth and the what was
one of the reason. It's the rotation of the Earth that causes that.
And oh in a wind and weather patterns, Well that's true for a hurricane
kind of, although you know they move because they bring so much force.
But yeah, that's why you can project them. And yes, you can
project the the you know the path of the eclipse, right, we can
see eclipse pass well into the future. Stuff that'll be here, probably after
we've already murdered all of ourselves. But you they're different and how you do
it, and the hurricane requires so you got to wait for it to form,
and you gotta see some stuff. And even then there's a reason you
have a cone. So you're making up your own lie to combat this.
Except I don't know what the rest of that conspiracy is, because like nobody
gets past that first part. They're like, they're just awestruck. If you
lay over the maps that they look similar. What are you implying. Are
you implying that they people control the hurricanes and it's a harp thing or are
you implying that they control the sun or both? And who would have such
power? I don't know the answer to that. But you know, if
you want to go down a little bit of a rabbit hole that is yours
for the asking, so to speak right there on the internet and on the
twitters for you, so do enjoy yourself. Oh good, all right,
So just to stick this brainworm or this earworm into your brain. I had
Ross dub one of the Kids Bop commercials again. I'm just trying to figure
out what this would sound like with modern day songs and kids. You'res so
lucky, am I? Because seven means some of your favorite songs are together
again in one great place. It's the brand new Kids Bop seven, the
best selling kids music series in the country. Does it again? Track after
track of kid friendly songs performed by that kid's bob kids for me, for
Me, for me, I can't, I can't, I can't now.
But you know it shows you that if you get into the most popular songs
in America, there's there was lots of There was lots to choose from.
I don't know how abruptly they would change songs, but you know, really
avoiding you know, the Kelluses of the world and others of the area of
the era. Was she the oh, Caalise, I'm sorry, I don't
even know. But is that the milkshake song or that? And who did
the neck and back song? I don't remember, yeah, all right,
But my point is like those were easily spot well. Although you could probably
sing the milkshake song and a kid would just be like milkshake, they didn't
have a version of that. I remember that Milkshake with my friends. It
was a cute radio edit. But yeah, they did well. Radio edits
are I don't even know how they do it nowadays, just crazy, but
like you, but you could actively avoid it, and I'm sure I just
I don't have a large enough scope of understanding of all of this, but
it feels like it would be all Taylor Swift. Now, let me tell
you a tale, okay about this is gonna be good if you can.
If you just called it a take about kids bops and I call it kid
bops, it's k bop but I say kid bops, right, it is
how I say so specifically that cut from two thousand and five, which was
kid Bop seven or whatever. Okay, So in two thousand and five I
worked at a top forty radio station. It was twenty four some like that,
I think, And yeah, no, I was super young. So
I was working at a top forty station doing the night show there yep,
in Atlanta, and part of my duties was I had to MC the nightclubs
on the weekend, okay, which when you're like in the Ride twelve and
now it's crazy. There was this one on Saturdays called Vision, and Vision
is where everyone went if you were in hip hop or whatever. Okay,
there was certain times where I'd be at the DJ booth with the microphone and
I would turn around and literally Ludicrous is there? Or you're walking? Or
an usher is there? Or or or P Diddy is there? Everybody was
there? Why? Yes? All right? But they're cool, all right,
completely cool, completely cool. And one guy that I hung out with
all the time. He also did a lot of production for the radio station.
He owned his own production company. He did production for like commercials and
TV commercials and web everything. He's the guy so get this. So I
had to go down to his studio to record the commercials for the club,
and it'd be like, hey, join me, I'm gonna be at Vision
blah blah blah. And he was the he was the the mister voice of
it. So he'd be like Vision and then it would be like me in
between you know his amazing Yeah, because that's what he did. Yes.
So we were hanging out for like a year or two, and one night
he just looks over at me and this guy, by the way, is
his gangster as can be. When you picture a gangster guy at the club
in downtown Atlanta. This is the guy he shouldn't. Okay, So we're
hanging out. This story is great. So we're hanging out and he just
looks over at me one day and he goes, man, i want you
to be the voice of kid Bops. Stop. And I'm like what And
this is that the knockoff? No, this is the thing. This is
kid Bops And this is two thousand and five for the commercial I just played
true and I go what He goes, listen, you need to come down
to my studio tomorrow morning, eight nine o'clock. I'm gonna come there early,
and you're gonna be the new voice of kid Bops. And I'm ma,
I'm thinking he's messing with me. I'm like yeah, I'm all like
what in the morning, right, And I'm like super drunk. I'm in
my mid twenties. Yeah, absolutely, you know, and I'm just like,
all right, Bud, Yeah, we'll see you down there at the
studio at eight nine am to record the Kid Bops whatever. Yeah. So
I sleep in and I wake up at like twelve o'clock noon and then check
my phone and I have like thirty forty voicemails from dude at the recording studio
going off on me because he got up early and he was ready for me
to record my Kid Bops commercial. And I'm like, I'm to irritate kid
night. Yeah. No, I'm like, dude was serious and in the
voice of Kids Box it goes so bad, it goes up the chain to
my program director. My program director calls, I mean, he's like,
why didn't you go to Dude's place? You could have the Kid Bops.
I'm like, Dude, I didn't think he really wanted me to be the
voice of Kid Bops. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have believed that at two
in the morning, hammered in a hip hop. The story just ends.
There's no happy ending. I was that close to being the voice of Kid
Bops and so I could have been that guy Kid Bubs Volume four, whatever
the hell it was. Yeah, where would you be Today Island or whatever.
I don't know what, but it just looks over and I listen back
to the commercial. Yeah, yeah, right, you're so lucky. This
guy's got such a puker delivery I got. I could do UPRK do down.
I could change my voice not an issue. Kid BOP's Volume five,
that's amazing. Yeah, but I don't know the way he looked over at
mean, he was like, dog, I want you to be the voice
of kid Bucks. I feel like you roll the dice on that. Maybe
I guess, you know, hindsight's twenty twenty. We do stupid stuff where
you did? I tell you? When I was younger, they wanted me
to be the drummer for cars for kids. So what happened? Had that
fall through? They don't drum, so and uh, you no problem.
Nobody can sing here anyway. You could wing it. You could wing it'd
be fine. Yeah yeah, yeah. They're just like pretend to drum,
and she'll pretend to play the guitar, which she clearly is in that commercial.
So and uh, then I realized that I was thirty, so they're
like, ah, that's probably not gonna work out age discrimination. I should
have sued, but I didn't so because the cars are for the kids.
Although actually, do you know where that money went. I'm not trying to
start some stuff. I just remember being fascinated when I when I first learned
this, and now I just realized that maybe this is not the time right
now to I'm to unveil this, all right, So the money goes through
a program facilitated by a charity called Oohrah, which is a charity for Jewish
children and families. So it literally the cars for kids went to this Jewish
families thing, and which is fine, by the way. I again,
I'm not trying to start some stuff, but like they never kind of disclosed
the commercial. I heard somebody criticize, and I'm like, I don't know
where you put that in. And I think their beef was well, it
wasn't for all the kids. And I want to tell that person from ten
years ago, wait till you hear how they run everything now, whether it's
hiring college admissions. This is nothing. But yeah, yeah, here we
go. Yeah, they wrote all the of course they wrote all these ads
or these these takedown things in the media. Can you believe it does this?
I'm like, yeah, I guess I kind of can. But I'll
tell you what's crazy is, why don't you look at some of these charities
that you do like and the money is going to Hamas that's the thing that's
happening. Or what's the oh, what is the the what is the the
illegal immigrant advocate groups? Larraza? Do you ever see how much money flows
through different charities to Larraza? You should. If you don't know about Larraza,
you should be if I want to do a little, uh little research
and not the one that you're gonna get that is wild. So I just
googled LaRaza. Do you know what comes up? It comes up the Spanish
expression and uh, if you don't know what larrazza means, it's a slangy
way to say mixed race kind of, but not as an individual but as
a population, which you know it is fine. But if you do,
if you get into the Raza and you get into the history here in the
US and some of the stuff going on, now it's they're uh, they
were, they were very much in it. And then I'm trying to remember
the unindicted co conspirator thing, the Islamic charity, like a lot of this
stuff. Man, you should know who you're giving to. So there's that.
But I don't know how this turned into that because Ross was almost the
kids Pop guy. Do you think though, that that would follow you the
rest of your life? Like the Blues Clues dude, where you just want
to get away from it? That would be my key. I mean,
I wouldn't care as long as I was making bank. But I was as
young and stupid. Well, let's face it like that. There's no residuals
there probably so, but yeah, what would that be if you're gonna go
hit on women? Would that be? Uh? Like, hey, hey,
hey, you know who I am? You think I mean? I
mean, listen, it could be like you know what happened with Steve from
Blues Clothes is he would get hit on all the time when it came to
women who had kids all the time. He tells that story. Yeah,
Beck, yeah, but I think his way here he was in a band
or something, right, he went full liked. I don't blame him,
no, Yeah, he was in a band and he did his audition for
Blues Clothes in like a black leather jacket and stuff, and he just did
it as himself or whatever, and they absolutely loved him and wear this shirt.
The producers were like, we can't hire that guy, and they brought
him in again with a different bunch of kids, and he just hit it
out of the park and the kids were like, we want that guy.
And then they find they had him put on the shirt and stuff, and
that just sealed the deal. Yeah, and then eventually it's like nah saying
who. Eventually he was like, I feel like I'm living in a swimming
pool because I'm surrounded by blue cgi and I have to get out here.
And then he went into an attic bedroom in his house in Seattle and shot
himself. Right, Oh no, that was Kurt Cobain. But also one
of the Blues Clues conspiracy theories. There are so many of them about what
happened to him is wild. If you read the Wikipedia entry. I remember
looking at him like, I think that's Kurt Cobain, who didn't shoot him
that? Okay, believe that conspiracy out there anyway. Seven twenty two,
I went very long in that segment over Ross's brush with famedom there international dude,
your Hasselhoff at that point, I think for that era, because those
commercials run every ad break every break. You would have been possibly one of
the top one hundred famous people for a couple of years. So but now
you're here and we'll be back. Ross's brush was stardom and Chicago shootings and
all that, but it was the something that happened right after the show yesterday
that was getting a whole lot of press, and that was whatever MSNBC's Morning
Joe and the Biden administration thought that that was gonna be because it clearly wasn't.
And maybe that is what Morning Joe wanted. I don't know. I
stopped trying to predict that that douche is once in needs a long time ago.
After I saw him, I saw his h his band. You're remember
how ridiculous that looked watching him on the guitar man, and you just know
that Mika eats it up. So but whatever, So Biden calls in.
He's not in studio and they've got him in I don't know, the situation
room or something, and he's on camera and he just just from from the
jump Man. He's ready to go. And look the messaging obviously there.
If you're the Biden administration is going to be you need to you need to
go out in the full throated way that you have with some of the statements
you've issued, in comments made and the letter that was sent to congressional leaders,
and be like, I'm your guy unless Jesus says no, like or
the Lord comes down like you said the other day. And he went a
step further and he says if you try, if you cross me, I'll
get you. And I want to point this out because I saw a bunch
of MSNBC and CNN people going that you can't walk that back. That's how
you know he means business. He's putting them unnoticed. The cynic in me
says, that's the strategy, and they're all in on it, because that's
how you portray in their mind, how you think you portray competency to hail
Mary and effectiveness that he whipped the Democratic Caucus into shape. So I think
that by design. I think they sat there, they had all this stategy
sessions, and he said to Pelosi and Schumer and all the rest, and
it's like, look, the only way this works because we've done the math
and we realize if I leave and commonly gets killed, and if she's also
gone, all that war chest is inaccessible. So we're gonna have to stick
with it. But we can't just come out and be like, yeah,
we decided to stick with what we're doing. He's got to look like he's
large and in charge and dark Brandon. Does that make sense? Ross,
What do you think of that conspiracy? No? No, no, that's
a conspiracy. I think that's the way I would do it from a calm
standpoint. Make him look like he's he's the man, and the people who
questioned him stepped out of line. I think that's one hundred percent what's going
on here. Yeah, but the thing is being perceived as him being a
lunatic. Well, I didn't say it was playing out because remember, you
know, you could do something as simple as write a note about how to
walk to the podium, which is an actual note on an actual card,
and then he doesn't do it. So a more complex bit of theater would
would require Oh dude, speaking of conspiram Sorry, I just would be very
short, all right. I saw a conspiracy that the exact thing I'm talking
about was how two our two forefathers of electricity did it. And I know
you're you're a Tesla fan, right. They they argued that the two didn't
hate each other and each other's technology, that they were doing this to get
people to adopt electricity by whatever means. I don't know about that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't think so either, but I thought,
okay, all right, I think he had a genius in Nikola Tesla,
Yeah, who just didn't have the business acumen right of Thomas Edison.
And Edison was really good at stealing Tesla's stuff, and yeah, electrifying elephants,
and yeah, I mean Tesla is very sad. We look at his
life like ended up like crazy Town, marrying pigeons and stuff, and yeah,
you had a lightning room. Do you have a lightning room? I
do not, like, Yeah, it'd be amazing. Yeah, so uh
and don't act like you've never electrified an elephant. Dude, We're in showbiz.
That's what you do. So uh. Anyway, I'm sorry. Back
back to Joe Biden. So that would be best case scenario, but that
would be a way to run it where you could because all you have to
do is give Biden one liners and he likes those sometimes he even gets them
right. But make him really short because it's an action movie at that point,
and do action movie. Our action movies, the action movies of our
childhood. Are they known for deep dialogue? No, Almost every movie is
immensely quotable with three words, four words. I'll be back, dude,
I don't have time to bleed. Is very deep? Yes, well,
no, no, no, but it's not so it's not hard to re
member. Right. They want something that's memorable and sticks with you, so
you better get more body bags. I do this all day. The most
complex one that's also one of my favorites is the unforgiven revenge scene. You
shot an unarmed man. What's the rest of it? You should arm himself?
Should armed himself? You know what. That's a good point, sir,
that's a very good point. If you want to decorate your bar with
my friend should arm himself. Oh so, let's see if that's play word.
Tunning is now the forty sixth President of the United States and presumptive Democratic
nominee Joe Biden, calling in to mourning Joe right now, Good morning,
sir, Hey Mika, I'm more of a presumption I'm going to be a
Democratic nomin baby. Maybe Hey, dude, the genius level troll tweet that
I saw on this was wouldn't it be wild if Trump is unseated by Biden
and then Trump up on seats Biden and then Biden realizes in twenty twenty eight
it's his turn. It's some along those lines. And it was just people
like didn't know how to deal with it. And I'm like, that is
a good tweet I saw. It was a great post from Adam Carolla talking
about the best way to get Biden out of the race. Yeah, did
you see this? No, He's like, the best way to get Biden
now is when he starts talking about it, be like, oh, I'm
going to win a second term. Just be like, mister president, this
is your second term. Oh that's a good point. And he's going to
be so confused. He's like, oh, well I did okay, great,
I have no idea. Yeah, you spent fifty over your eight years.
You spent fifty percent of your predecessors. And he can run to out
that nobody will fact check it. No, great, dude, You know
what I did? Fall down the Adam Carolla interviewing newsom rabbit hole. I
think they have a whole like viewed beef going back to years and Corolla just
destroys him. It's amazing. But that's another thing for another day. All
Right, he almost got Mika's name Meekan. I don't know what he called
her Megan. That would have been funnier if you called her Megan. But
whatever, here we go. Let's get into the American public is not going
to move away from me as an average voter. And again, I'm here
for two readers, Pale one to rebuild the economy for hard working, middle
class people. Give everybody a shot. That's a straight shot. Everybody gets
a fair chance. Number one, number two. Number always talk about how
I don't have the black support. Come on, give me a break,
come with me. Why why dude, it's all of the holy goody one
lighters. I'm right, Powell to sound. He sounds so angry, and
that's going together. It's a thing, right, that's a when you have
dementia, you have these angry outburst moments like he's trying to sound strong,
but he sounds yes, he sounds mean. Okay, you know what,
you're a boat man, Stay in the boat. I don't need you.
Did you get into that. That's one of the lesser known, but a
good one. Yes, he's coming. I'm telling you it's not working out
how you would want it to work out for the scenario. But if I
feel like I'm right here, I'm getting so frustrated. But by the leap,
now, I'm not talking about you guys, but a boy, the
elap, Why are you not talking about them? They are clearly at those
cocktail parties that you're referring to the party who they know so much more.
But any of these guys, I don't think I should run against me announce
the president, challenge man the convention. Okay, well, and that's easy
enough to say. And who knows maybe that some of the donors are in
on it, where they're just like, look, I'll not abandon you if
the polling turns around with this strategy. I'm curious. Is that an illusion?
Also? Oh, by the way, this is the continuation of the
stupid but wildly entertaining golf back and forth with Biden and Trump, which started
with Trump carry his bags and then Biden's like, let's go to the driving
range and I don't even know where we are. I'm curious is that an
illusion? Also? To Donald Trump? And the fact that Democrats, you
believe, may now be doing the same thing that Donald Trump tried to do
in twenty twenty, and that is overthrow the popular will of Democratic voters.
Look, Democrats, Joe, let me say it this way. Read.
And I've been out on the road so much all over the country. And
while Trump is riding around in the golf cart, filling out his golf cart
before the golf cart, before you even hit the ball, he hadn't been
anywhere in ten days. I've been all over the country. Would you hold
up well? Anyway? So he's filling out the golf cart with the card,
but the cart before there was something else. He said. Two.
One time is Donald Trump? He plays golfers, rides around in the cart.
Yeah. Yeah, I've played like I've played on when I was younger,
I'd walked course because I was cheap. But and there are courses I've
played in my adulthood where if you go over the UK or Ireland, there's
no carts on a lot of those courses. That being said, if I'm
playing with the carts, you know what, I'm in a cart, Especially
when the mountain courses I like to play in North Carolina, you would not
survive. I probably wouldn't either, all Right, This is. There's so
much more. We'll get to all that. Race Stagic is here. He's
got his own one liners like, oh dude, they have there's we have
conspiracy theories, but there's a weather conspiracy theory. You familiar with the barrel?
I hate that name, conspiracy theory? I am not what is the
barrel? Conspiracy? Lay over the projected path of Beryl Right that run from
what Texas up to the Great Lakes or I guess towards New York. Right,
I can't, I don't remember right word it ends, but that that
curvature, it follows the path of totality from the alert. Not totality,
but the the the best the path of the eclipse. Oh how about that?
Yeah? And people are trying to explain it's the rotation of the earth
or weather cycle. Right, I'm like, I don't think the sun is
yeah, I don't. Yeah, don't these people know that sometimes things just
it's no atypical. They don't. They don't know because money is produced by
the heart machine and the other one is the sun. So ah, I
got you, man, I'm gonna write this, write that that's good,
that's rich, that's good stuff right there. Yeah, you can work it
next time. Yeah, more good stuff. Well, I don't have anything
short term that's gonna break the heat. Uh. Later in the week,
maybe we get a front in here that might take it down just a little
bit. Now most of us heat advisory, most of the tryad all the
triangle. Temperatures today a little bit nineties, but it's gonna feel over one
hundred, between one hundred and about one ten depends on where you are the
hottest numbers around the triangle. So another hot day, isolated storms really not
gonna get much relief. But if you do get rain, you'll drop ten
to fifteen degrees, and if it's later in the day, you may stay
there. But if it's not to see trap back up again. More isolated
storms tomorrow, just as hot. And as we get the Thursday, I'm
probably gonna see upper eighties of the Triad triangle, probably the low nineties if
you showers thunderstorms coming in, probably the best chance of rainy Thursday and on
into Fridays. The rain chances are going up with this front coming on in,
so I'll maybe some relief as temperatures by Friday may only be in the
low to mid eighties. But that's more a function of clouds and the rain
chances a barrel depression, it becomes extra tropical, it'll have that cold front
attached to it, so limited impacts there. Most of the tropical Atlantics now
quiet. A couple of waves, but nothing over the next seven days.
As it looks like we're going into a little bit of a low maybe for
the next couple of weeks, but should pick back up the late July and
as we get into August. Okay, appreciate it, sir, thank you.
Okay, there you go. Race, excuse me, Race staging from
the Weather Channel. We're gonna get through this byden audio on the next segment
because at eight oh five, Senator Ted Bud's going to join us. That's
today, right, that's what you text. My brain is just cooked.
So yeah, we're gonna we're gonna chat with uh We're gonna chat with Bud
and uh I there's there's just enough of the Joe Biden audio to talk to
him about. But we'll get to a few other things. Did he send
the pre approved questions? Do we have those that I have to ask?
Did he get those over to us? Oh? Man, that whole thing
anyway, we'll get into all of it coming up case O Day Radio program.
My theory is, and I I the more I listen, the more
I'm I'm absolutely correct. I think that this whole, this whole thing,
this stunt where there's just like Joe Biden's coming out and he's just he's burning
bridges. How dare you you try me? You will not succeed. Come
challenge me? What are you doing pal all of that crap. I think
that that is the strategy, and they're all in on it because they realize
just coming out and then running the numbers going we can't lose our war chest
or this because of Kamala. The only good option is to lean into where
we are. And so they said, all right, Biden, come out
is not only an action, start kick ass, take names, bubble gum
this I'm all out of bubble you know, whatever you got to do,
and then if that works, maybe it will start turning the polls around.
And it's not working, not at all. He's not in this interview.
How can you assure the American people that you won't have another night like the
one you did in Atlanta? Book at my career and not had many of
those nights ross do we have any in the system? And the system exploded
with a terrible night and I really regret it happened. But the fact of
the matter is, how can you assure you're going to be on you know
faith that can interview on your way to go to you know work tomorrow?
Age Age wasn't Did he just threaten to kill Mika? I can do?
You know, let's super bizarre, so weird, Billy. How do you
know you're not going to die in a bus accident going to work tomorrow?
Oh yeah, how do you know your brake lines were cut in the parking
lot ten minutes ago? The idea I'm Too Old created over fifteen million jobs,
twenty one women and swords for the ACA, beat pharma, relieve student
dead for five minion people, first black woman in the court. So I
think I had a significant, significant run. And that's how I'd measure me.
He measure me what I've done. And by the way, in terms
of my neurological capacity, I had a physical neurological physical as well. In
February, it's released. I released all my records all, okay, I
did because I remember that you're like, you won't and then but if you
did. I also remember the media. Remember Trump's came out, and it's
like he's two twenty and they're just like, you can't trust anything. I'm
curious where that reaction's going to. The bottom line here is that we're not
going anywhere. I am not going anywhere. I wouldn't be running if I
didn't absolutely believe that I am the best candidate to beat down on something.
Twenty twenty four, we had a democratic nominating process where the voters spoke clearly.
I want fourteen million of those votes, et cetera. So I just
want I not only believe that from the beginning, but I wanted to reassert
and demonstrate this too, and I'm going to be doing that all through this
week and from here on. Okay, all right, I have a question
Ross now, listening to all of that, are you thinking, Rambo the
Predator? Are you thinking I'm thinking the big boy presser this week is going
to be a complete debacleing nightmare for his campid. We're going to give on
historic levels. Give yourself the hiccups, because it is time to welcome in
Senator Ted budd he joins us now, and Senator Glad to have you,
but I got some bad news. Man, We're not Oh no, what's
up. We can't do this. Your office did not send me the pre
proof questions list, so I, yeah, hang on, let me,
Uh, you can just enter him into the teleprompter. We should be fine.
Oh yeah, no, just until it hits pause for effect and then
you and then I say, yes, I know your listeners can't see my
teleprompter right now, uh to guide this conversation. But believe me, that's
so wild man, like because on in my line of work and in your
line of work, we both know that that happens from a suggested standpoint.
Now I would be clear, your office has never said anything like that.
So but like it happens, and it's you know, it's a polite suggestion,
and sometimes it's helpful, right because when I'm interviewing somebody, when I
used to interview Dan Forrest all the time, I wouldn't tell him we're going
to talk about. But if I had something that was very intricate that I
wanted to ask about, I might give him a heads up on the general
topic, as I would do to you, be like, hey, I
really want to dig into this particular appropriation thing or whatever it is. But
for the most part, we're just flying by the seat of our pants.
And that's good. That's honest conversation to the extent that we don't know where
it's going to go, and hopefully everybody's honest, and that's what I like.
But it sounds like they took it a step further than that. Is
what is the hubbub from? You know, inside the thing? How often
does this happen? Well, I mean, look, he's lived on the
telepropter since twenty one at least chance. You know, during the campaign it
was very scripted. His early speeches during the campaign of twenty twenty, during
the throes of COVID, he would be looking at a giant screen in the
back of the audience. Some of those had questions on it. So it's
it's only gotten worse and we're seeing the worst of it right now. The
real question is it's not just is he competent to run for the next one
hundred and twenty days to the election, it's like, if he can't run,
can he even govern? And we've seen the results of it. And
then the other question is, and President Trump will need to answer this and
he'll do a great job of it. Is it's the ideas. Let's say
you switch it out for Kamala. The problem doesn't get any better for our
country. It's not that we've now taken a fairly coherent person or into hear
and switched them out with somebody else. We have really bad ideas on the
left and the Democrat Party that are making life hard for not just us here
in North Carolina, but around our whole country. It's making us weak,
open borders, runaway spending, that's driving inflation. So the problem isn't solved.
But then swatch switching out Joe Biden. No, you know, we're
speaking more to the strategy of things, and you're right, these are these
are people can get hung up on that, like I am, I am,
this is this is where I'm at. I watched the whole you know
this this purported re emergence of you know, dark Brandon where he's like,
you know, he's saying stuff he can't walk back to people who allies.
How dare you question me? I'll do whatever I try me pal right,
And he's saying this stuff and it's meant to look aggressive. In my theory
is they're all in on it because they realize Kamala's garbage and they can't keep
their money if if somebody else. And so you don't just come out and
go, yeah, I know, we're gonna stick with him, like it
sounds even remotely reluctant. You got to let him come out like an action
hero. And obviously he can't pull that strategy off. Am I just am
am I in conspiracy Zone or you work with political consultants. That actually seems
logical to me. Unfortunately, you guys got to be able to get it
done. I mean, their world goes away when when Joe Biden quits.
So there's so's there's a small circle that he's listening to. It's Jill,
it's Hunter. It's a couple of folks that have been with them, who
knows since probably the early nineteen seventies. He's been there over fifty years in
this role. And so he had he's got no other life. Part of
the benefit, part about what makes you great on radio or me as a
US center do stuff other than what we do in our day jobs, you
know, business. I'm sorry, So he can't do anything else, and
their life is propped up by him and so they're going to double down until
they're absolutely forced out of that job. You know what, I'm sorry,
I got to fact check you. He's been a flanker back, a civil
rights advocate, some other position that I haven't heard of in one hundred years,
playing another sport, A lifeguard, right, A lawyer. He's a
lawyer dressing down corn pop, you know, and you got to remember that.
Yeah, absolutely, that's tough stuff. Man. When you grow up
in a primarily Puerto Rican, Jewish, Greek neighbor Black neighborhood, and then
whatever else he adds, you get some life experience. A right, let
me be a little more serious here. So you saw that iteration of whatever
that was. Right after my show yesterday, he went on, he went
on mourning Joe, and you know, he hit the high notes that he
always does, fifteen million jobs created. We all know what that actually means
post COVID and and all the rest. So but he really they like,
they didn't get into any of the future with him, And I think that's
very telling for what you kind of indicated, right, because it comes down
to ideas and the one of the debates right now is the Republican evil Republicans
they want a law that says that people who are not citizens can't vote at
the federal level. And then the Democrats run out and they say, no,
there already is a law. But if there is a law, it
and what is going on? Help me put this to rest. If there
is a law, why are Republicans doing it? If there isn't a law,
why would Democrats oppose it? Or is it a scenario where there's a
law but enforcement and action within the law and interpretation there not enforcing it.
So there needs to be a better law. Where are we at? Yeah,
I think he nailed it on that last one. Casey is there are
laws, they are vague, they are not being enforced, and particularly with
those that are inserted at local level elections, and now we're seeing those move
out to certain states, more blue states or where there's an election board for
that state, not being enforced. So that's the problem. So we want
to give absolute clarity. We have several pieces of legislation I think every one
of which I've either helped lead or co sponsor. I don't have those in
front of me right now, but those are those are some awesome pieces of
clarifying legislation that casey should be bipartisan. But unfortunately the Democrats are saying this
is extremists, they're racist, that they throw out the old usual things,
that they try to throw a lot of dust in the air and confuse the
situation. We're like, no, we want everyone's vote to actually count,
and we don't think that non citizens should be voting, and particularly those that
are here illegal. Anyone that's not a usc doesn't need to be voting.
So we're just clarifying those things that would lead to enforcement. And people will
go, well, how does somebody who's who's here illegally or at the very
least not as how do they vote? And the way that their camels camel's
nose under the tent with this thing is they'll say it's not fair for parents
in a school district whose kids attend the school regardless of status, that they
have no say in their child's education. And it's and and so that's how
they're doing it. They're they're starting at the very local level and making these
common sense please. But you know, Senator, I'm a slippery slope guy,
and and I think that the long game's going on here and it's not
that long really as quickly as it's progressing. Yeah, absolutely, And I
think that started in San Francisco with school boards. As many many bad ideas
do I start out there. So you're right, it's local election. It
goes with the motor voter, the automatic voter registration that doesn't have the underlying
identifications and proof of the birth certificate, Kate and citizenship, so it bypasses
a lot of that and lets them get a toe hold in that they'll begin
moving that to other elections. So that's part of the long game, I
believe. Okay, let me ask you a question. It's not is more
of an introspective question. Could you do I get your press releases with everybody
else some of our We have some members of Congress and folks that have dealt
with over the year that I don't know if they've ever signed their name to
anything, but they're there and you probably could name a few. You have
a lot of stuff. So when you guys are putting a bill together post
Chevron, like, does that change stuff dramatically? Because like knowing that some
bureaucrats going to misinterpret what you wrote previously had to be really frustrating. Does
it change how you do stuff? I mean, what's how does that work?
I think post Chevron. First of all, this it has been since
the nineteen eighties, since that case first came out. Yeah, it has
been the fox guarding the Henhouse. When there's a question about an administrative ruling,
it's up to the administration and the agency to determine what they think about
the ruling. So that is completely wrong. And when I talk to small
business owners and people that are out there creating jobs, I go, you
know what, you've got a lot of frustrations with Washington. I get it,
and I have those same frustrations because look, I'm a small business owner
as well, both sides of the paycheck. I get it. But the
problems that you're having out there are not mostly laws that have been passed by
Congress. It's the regulations out there, and that's stuff that we never voted
on. A House, never voted on it, send it, never voted
on it. It's some unelected bureaucrat that has created the friction that you're having
to deal with every day to just try to earn a living. And so
I think Chevron is a landmark case that as well as the West Virginia case
that came out last year will be just so positive, especially with an administration
Donald Trump. But in the worst case scenario, it helps us. It
really puts handcuffs on the administration in the future and gives Article one, which
is the House in the Senate of the Constitution, the power that it used
to. They gave away so much power here back to the administration and that's
why you've seen these growth of these agencies over the last decades. But I
think Chevron and some of these other rulings pull a lot of that back,
and that's great for our country. Well, and that is that's I'm glad
you went in that direction because that's my next question. It's going to take
time, right and you're going to the House going to be there's going to
have to be more cases. But now they're going to have this last decision
as case laws. So maybe it speeds stuff up, but you know that
jam and stuff up in court for years is a popular strategy, and they're
going to fight tooth and nail on this. So do you start to see
immedia change and is it? I mean, I understand that if an agency
has far less to do, you still got to if you, if you
one day run for president, go I'm going to cut the EPA's number of
employees by fifteen percent. They're going to lose their mind even if they have
fifteen percent less work. You understand that. You know this once there's more,
that will never be less, is what a lot of voters think happen.
So how committed are Republicans to right sizing agencies as these changes unfold?
Oh? Huge? And I think there's ways you can do it. You
can do hiring freezes that you know, allows the top line numbers of employees
to begin to actify without you know, laying folks off. You can do
that. You can you can actually ship them to other needs, you know,
not goodness. There's what the great thing is is you create a strong
economy under a Republican Donald Trump. And there's so much need out there that
these places, these folks that are leaving the federal government they got other places,
will go. Now they may feel entitled to these federal jobs, nobody's
entitled to any job. I'm not entitled with this job. We got to.
I mean, I think there's going to be a lot of fights over
how we do this, but I think we can This will be certainly a
way to freeze agency growth, which has been a huge problem for our economy
and for job creators out there over the last several decades. I would encourage
that if any of you are going to talk about agencies, you would cut
and if you have a list of three, you remember all three if forever
on stage, Okay, I'll just say several. Yeah, they'll do the
Governor zoo lander excuse me, the Rick Perry thing. We call them governor
zoo landers. So I think that's hilarious. All right, So we go
through that. I mean, there's so much. I just have a few
minutes, so you can hang out for about three four minutes. I'm not
going to go to break. I just have a few more questions. I
just want to make sure because longer than usual, as I'm sitting there and
I'm going through the Donald Trump stuff yesterday, there is a definitive set of
opinions on what the rnc's platform right and the Trump's contract with America, and
there's there are some folks that are would be the religious side of that who
don't feel that they're being represented. I'm not going to say that it's all
of them, but there's a few who make a lot of noise. When
you look at that and you see what's on there, do you think there's
things that should have been on there? Do you think it's correct? Do
you think it's too much? Where are you at well? When it comes
through. I've got a sixteen page platform here in front of me that the
RNC released yesterday. I haven't read every one of them, but I like
they're pushing the life as you are absolutely essential to me and I imagine most
of your listeners out there. But what they're doing is they're really honoring Roe
V. Wade and saying this is really up to the states. I think,
let's remember that Donald Trump is not the only candidate on the ticket.
He and his vice president. We've got folks from governor, We've got all
these state house, state Senate races, all these Council of States, all
these matter. So I would say, let's take the focus of what they're
looking at and let's push let's make sure we are focusing on these state and
downballot elections, which are in the aggregate just as important as who's president.
So I would say, let's let's make sure we understand what Rob Waite did,
and that's push things back to the state. Therefore, we also need
to focus on those who are elected to state level offices. Yeah, no,
no, you and I are on the same page, which, in
my mind, the way that you deal with that is you literally include an
item say uh, you know, and you say, thanks to this court
ruling, this is now a state's issue. So let's concentrate our efforts there.
And I think they could have done that, but they didn't, and
that's I think what had people kind of curious. But I think it's a
fair compromise because it's correct. You can't lose sight of the fact that this
is a state's issue, as many other things should be. Uh, and
hopefully we'll be in the future. Yeah, the issue doesn't change in your
in your mind and your heart and your personal convictions. You just have to
focus on a different office to get those results. And then, finally,
did you see the video of that F the F thirty five, the new
one hovering over Miami Beach yesterday? No, I did not. I Can
I borrow one? You got? You got pull you got the right committees?
Can I borrow They're only a single seater? Otherwise we both could go
up. Well, then we'll be we'll borrow three because the Ross is gonna
want to go so okay, all right, all right, well we'll work
on that. All right. You just go ahead and get back to me
whenever you got that, and then from from here on out you can send
your questions. All right, we'll strike a Boustian deal. Well do you
remember the kid that saved up all those Petsy points and one that got there?
Right? Oh? Go on Netflix, Yeah, up your soft dream
points. Yeah, go on Netflix. There is a an amazing documentary.
All I got a roll. Thank you so much, Senator, I do
appreciate it. See ye, all right there you go. Look at that
ross. We're all going we're all going flying today. Probably not. I
don't think that's going to pan out. Any who are break that'll pan out?
Hang on. And it was Senator Chadowy, Senator Ted Buddy. It
was the you know, politicians are like guys in radio. We just you
know, there's one hundred other things we could do. If you ask a
radio dude what happens if you get fired? It's one are the answers fast
food? Like it doesn't mean that's where they're destined for but ross you've ever
seen a radio guy who had confidence that he'd be fine if he lost his
gig. I haven't no note at all. No, it's it's dooming gloom
and again a lot of times it goes over. I think why politicians think
that, And I'm again, I'm just give it to you straight. It's
time you just pick it on bud is because if you're a politician and and
you lose your I can't tell you the number. And by the way,
there's some radio guys we're very resentful of this. I will judge it on
a case by case basis, but there's a lot of there's a lot of
talk radio gigs that are held by guys who did one under two terms in
the House and and then got blown out and they go back to Elgin,
Illinois or we you know, wherever, whatever mid market it is, and
based on their name recognition, they hire that person, and then that person,
and then that person is. Their show is nothing but them interviewing their
buddies. Right, eventually you turn into that anti trumper idiot. What's his
I can't remember what the guy's name is because I purged it from my memory
up there run around now endorsing Biden. You're like, I'm a Republican.
You all don't know stuff at all. Radio guys are just like, I
don't know, probably probably going salt putin and then take an elevator to the
twentieth floor. I don't know. I mean you, I do have my
safety net though, you know, falls through. I'm gonna go into the
spop thing no that past yeah, No, theatrical jousting, theatrical shousing.
Yeah, like medieval times. Can you ride a horse? I cannot.
I could, but I'm a I'm a quick learner. Yeah, I could
teach you. I could teach because I used to have to. We get
guys that come out of the most most guys are going to do a hunting
trip that actually evolves horses, generally for an elk trip like that. They're
going to try to have some But you know, I've had people come out
that I know and my and my thing was very clear. It was a
list of five things don't if you do them, I can't protect you.
And then you know, basic skills like this is where your feet go?
Maybe I want to kind of you want to you want to elevate a little
off the saddle, the horse ring, rub against stuff. It's not him
trying to kill you, it's him scratching sometimes, just little stuff. I'm
not going to say. You know, any experience I've been on you know,
you go to the state fair and they have the ponies that go in
the circle. Yeah, I've been that's attached to something. So but I
do see. But the reason I have an advantage is already have the armor
and the the weaponry. Yes, no, you're, you're, you're,
You're ninety percent of the way there. You just need the horse. So
yeah, it's really simple stuff and you're not gonna be violating this. Like
the big thing. I'm like, if you fire around off this horse,
you might die. This is not a Western None of these horses you can
shoot off. Well, there was one you could because he was basically deaf.
But I'm not gonna tell him that horses that you can fire a pistol
or a rifle off of, you see in the movies, have an incredible
amount of graining. This is why I'm going to like the Medieval times route,
because yes, crossbow is different than say like rooster cogbirds. Yes exactly.
So I think you're gonna be in the clear there. And then the
other thing is I would tell them these are some of the horses, and
these are from more experience. I said, these are not These are not
galloping through the perry through the prairie trying to outrun Pat Garrett horse. So
if you keep giving him spur and he's not going, then that's your that's
your max speed. You've hit And if you keep doing it, he's gonna
dump you so fast. And do you know the most expensive insurance that you
have to hold if you're gonna do outfitting or hunting is not for the guns
or the bears. It's for the horses. That's where the injuries happened.
So you ever hear the story about how Clint Eastwood why he's so quiet on
set? You've heard this? Yeah, I have heard this, but go
ahelf. Yeah no, So he's been there. I can't remember what movie
he was on, but the actors were asking him. There was super weird
because most directors right are like action and so Clinton Eastwood was the director and
there were some scene in some city and every time he would say action,
he would he would whisper it and they'd be like, oh, my god,
are we supposed to go now? Now? Okay, we're gonna go
now. And the reason he whispered it is because he started off on his
set with horses. Yes, so you didn't want to yell right to get
the horses all crazy? Yep. Yeah, I joke about how I hate
horses, and it's the part where you're young and you have to care for
a bunch of them, but also where you have to break them or maintain
ones that are partially broke, and it's just it seems a very thankless thing.
So just to be clear in my position, but every year somebody they
wouldn't necessarily shoot off of a horse. So the one guy did and he
broke his leg and two ribs, I believe, and he was mad at
us. But they would shoot near the horse, and because I tell him,
you don't shoot off of it and don't use the saddle as arrest,
and most people would abide by it. But I can. I can totally
teach you how to do that, man, but I'm I want the F
thirty five stuff first, so I've kind of moved on, So we'll see
if the Senator comes up with that. But yeah, man, there's no
gigs, the fallback gigs for politicians are endless. You know, look at
Roy Cooper, but who by the way, he just vetoed his one hundred
and one hundred and first bill and at first I thought he's just an idiot,
but then I realized it's a record. He is setting a bar so
high he will not be eclipsed. And then I saw people go, why
don't you just do one hundred right? Well, one, it limits his
options and two did you see the Bernie Mac movie? You can't end on
a round number in case mister asterisk shows up and now you're Bernie Mac trying
to get a hit. What was that movie? Mister three thousand? Know
why? That just popped into my head. And but they were talking about,
you know, there's a lot of speculation. The Cooper was even floating
his name as somebody who might be a vice president if Kamala moves over,
or potentially if they're both out as somebody and I don't understand that. But
yeah, politicians have a little few more options because if not, then they
just they can walk into a lobbying gig. Most I should say most of
the lobbyists I've been around some groups of lobbyists and a lot of people there
have held public office, and that's you know, those relationships. There is
value there, but also it looks pretty scummy to a lot of people because
then it's just you know, it's just a boys club, so to speak
at that point. So I don't know. And by the way, if
Ray Cooper does go to Washington and they need a kid flipper offer, then
his wife can have a job. So ross did I tell you I almost
became a kid flipper offer before I was gonna, before I turned the dream
to radio. I wanted. I wanted to be the best kid flipper offer
to ever emerge. I recall you mentioning that, like the first day it
might have been the interview process here, I think, first, yeah,
I was, I would not. Now you're not flipping kids like flipping houses.
Or you get like one who's all he's got crubs, crumbs and jelly
all over, right, and then you give him some roids and he's like
super jacked. Yeah, you clean his face and then you're like, ah,
look at this kid down and they profit. Yeah. No, I
mean like kid where you flip them off and then that's it because that's what
she did, but it technically was a family with kids, but does that
matter? But yeah, no, I wanted to be the best kid flipper
offer in the West, and unfortunately I had to do the radio thing.
But what are you gonna do? You can dream raised agic from the weather
channel. Did you ever want to be a kid flipper offer instead of a
weather guy? Or oh yo, yeah, yo yo. Do you ever
want to be a kid flipper offer instead of a weather guy? Or what?
Oh wow? No? Yeah, you just flip kids off all day
man? Because the person who no, no, no, I said,
actually I I had a confession, and initially I want to be a kid
flipper offer. Uh and and then I was forced into the radio. So
here you are. The rest is history. Yeah, blew out my blew
out my knee, and that was it. No pros for me. I
blew out my middle finger. It was yeah, flip kids off. No,
he's never recovered. It's said, yeah, no, I the cross
off and he laughs and and it just flips the whole thing on me.
It's it's it's just it's so bad. Yeah, I'm flipping it right now.
Yeah, well yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, well
all right, you're probably going to a lot of people. Probably not.
Yeah, we may later in the week there could be a front getting in
here that'll be attached to what's left of Barrel, which will be a depression.
And I don't know. I think as soon as we get into maybe
some dryer air, especially central parts of the state and west, the humidity
is going to come back and lingering rain in the forecast end of the week,
as we may see some of the moisture come up from the south rather
than from the northwest, which is where Barrel will pass. So this afternoon
it's just isolated stuff, shower, thunderstorm here and there. It's more about
the heat and humidity a little bit nineties, with heat and diseased between as
high as one oh five to maybe one ten for the Triangle Triad, not
quite that hobbit, still above one hundred and most of the Triad actually and
the heat advisory also into the mountains no heat advisory now the high human one
tomorrow a little bit nineties again, feeling about one on average, and then
we'll see the rain chances go once again fairly low, but then they'll creep
up as we look ahead toward Thursday and Friday with rain and thunderstorms around,
especially the further east you go. This could be a week lower disturbance coming
out up the coast, which may bring into some better chances brain, which
could keep temperatures down into the mid eighties by Friday. So it's not that
we're going to lose the humidity, but we may lose some of the extreme
air temperatures. But I really don't see much relief here over the next few
days and for the rest of the week. But the rain chance is going
up and needed rain after the drought conditions now that have developed across the state.
Okay, thank you, sir, do appreciate it. Have a good
one. Yep, Yeah, no, Ross, you got so bad after
he blew out my middle finger. Now all I do, and it's pure
amateur animal flipp er offer. I just I couldn't compete, and mostly just
my neighbour's dog, which who's insane, both of them, the dog and
the neighbor. I know you're shocked, and we'll never shut up. Gotta
I'm going all al Bundy here man, So we'll take a break. Be
right back, and Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News is not going to know what
to do with all this time? What's up there? I'll do my best.
Good morning, Casey. Stock started the week with a mixed session.
The Nasdaq was up three tenths percent yesterday. The S and P five hundred
closed a tenth of a percent higher. Both indexes settled at record highs.
The Dow closed down a tenth of a percent. Looks like that pattern could
continue this morning. S and P futures are up nine points, Nasdaq futures
are up fifty seven. Dow futures are down three. Investors maybe a little
bit wary about Paramount globals agreement to merge with Skydance Media. Paramount shares fell
more than five percent yesterday. David Ellison, who will be running the combined
company, says he envisions Paramount as a media and tech hybrid. Wall Street's
going to be tuned to Washington today. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will go
before the Senate Banking Committee to talk about interest rates and other monetary issues.
He'll be back on Capitol Hill tomorrow. He'll brief the House Financial Services Committee.
Small business owners little more upbeat. Last month, the National Federation of
Independent Business sentiment index rose more than expected. In June, the NFIB's polling
found there's still some pessimism about the outlook for business conditions, but the share
of firms expecting the economy to worsen is the smallest in three years. A
lot of Americans charged up their credit cards in May. The federal reserves as
consumer borrowing rose by nearly eleven and a half billion dollars for the month.
That was a much bigger than expected increase, the biggest increase in the three
months. The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered airlines to inspect the oxygen generators on
more than twenty six hundred Boeing seven thirty seven jets. The agency has received
a lot of reports about the generators slipping out of position that could prevent them
from operating properly and providing oxygen in an emergency, and the case of former
Nike executives coming out of ret hirement to help the sneaker maker get its sales
back on track. Bloomberg has seen an internal memo announcing that Tom Petty is
returning as vice president of Marketplace Partners. Peddy worked at Nike for thirty years
before retiring in twenty twenty he'll come back to oversee Nike's partnerships and try to
mend fences with retailers. Casey, I have his Damn the Torpedoes album.
Yes, well this is Peddie. I thought of that too. It's not
as exciting, all right, Well, thank you appreciate it. Okay.
He doesn't live like a refugee either. Okay, Well, it would be
amazing. I would ask him to sign that album, just to see if
he'd do it. I'd be like, hey, hey, Tom Petty's Tom
Petty. What do you want? All right, thank you? So,
okay, have a good day. Yeah,
