There is something happening which is not getting a lot of pub and I feel
like it needs to because I will I will admit I was probably wrong on
this, and that is what is happening over in Europe, specifically the UK
and now over in France. And it has to do with the moon bats
who the soup moon bats and the moon bats who glue themselves to stuff right,
the stop oil idiots. There are some of their biggest hits of course
include well, you know, some pretty significant works of art which haven't all
been damaged, as their actions actually created a scenario where more and more galleries
were essentially bulletproofing these things, but you know, had the potential for damage.
There have been some that actually had to go through a restoration process.
Us early on you have the full scale, just just lunacy of when they
went and they took over the Porsche factory, which is still one of my
favorites if you remember in that they roll in to I don't know if it's
the factory, but it's kind of like their main facility, their main office
digs over there, but they also have a bunch of cars on display,
so it's a bit of a tourist attraction, and they plopped themselves down,
glued themselves to the floor right in the middle of it, and you know,
five o'clock rolls around or whenever, you know they're done, and Porsche
just decided they're never going to go home, turn the lights out. They
turned down the heating and air right as you do when everybody's out of the
building. And the video emerged of them glued there trying to figure it,
very upset about it because nobody was paying attention to them, really, and
they had to go to the bathroom and they wouldn't even give them a bucket,
and so they started making social media posts about how the the the officials
at Porsche wouldn't give them a bucket to even go to the bathroom in and
that they were cold because they had turned their cold. I think they were
cold or hot. They were one of the two for whatever reason. They
because they turned off the systems, you know, because it's nighttime and there's
just like security guards there and that's it. And the security guards basically just
watched them to make sure they weren't I guess, trying to burn the car
for warmth that they were glued near and it was. It was rather amusing,
but it didn't really accomplish anything. And then there's the shutting down of
transportation systems, and it appears that maybe where they messed up, because there
is a judge over there who actually sentenced three of these idiots to some pretty
significant jail time. And it's causing quite a buzz because now the soup idiots
are getting ready to get sentenced. In fact, they may well be sentenced.
It's happening today and obviously they are ahead of us, and that very
same judge is the judge who is doing the sentencing, and they're facing like
up to ten years because of the value and the way that the laws are
over there, right, And of course the pushback is, well, you
know it was it was for a good cause. It was for a good
cause. But I actually read the documents on the sentencing of the transportation moon
beats and prosecute make a pretty significant case over you know what the actual impact
there is, And yes, some of it is people simply being late to
work, but it has financial impacts that are documentable. Right, they did
not get to work, and because of that, they did not this thing
that was would have happened didn't happen, whether it was them getting paid for
that time at work, whether it was a deal going through. But then
you get over to the medical side, and you know, this is what
people have warned about, right you had you had women in labor who received
substandard care because they were unable to make it to the destination. You had
cancer patients that were not able to get cancer treatments. You had you had
a the actual injury of a special needs a student who went into anaphylectic shock
and for whatever reason they did, I guess they didn't have an EPI with
him or something, and they got jammed up in the middle of it.
And like you know, you had real damages that were put down on paper,
and the Eco Moonbat leadership just can't deal. And oh, by the
way, and I know you're gonna be shocked to learn this. One of
the two girls in the uh in the Vang souping, I guess it would
be the term for it. Her mom is a big deal. Her mom's
also a big piece of garbage when I started looking into her, right,
but her mom is really really really successful, wealthy, but also simultaneously one
of these self loathing you know, al gore types where the grift is in
and she is. So she's launched this full campaign about you know, posting
pictures of her daughter when she was not purple haired and crazy but just you
know, it looks like a little schoolgirl. And is it's going to impact
her ability to study music at Cambridge? And and it's just not right and
and it's clear one not only is his family a giant hypocrite, Mom's also
the one who was she hates she doesn't like the US very much. And
it's it's evidence by there was there was a campaign over there, and like
even though mom is a captain of industry, you know, they really they
don't want people traveling they were they would get they would organize locals in a
lot of popular European destinations like Barcelona and others to get squirt gun tourists to
get him not to come there, which, by the way, how do
I put this and not get barred from traveling to the EU. That's what
that's all you have, Okay, I underlook. I get that there are
companies that are players, major players on you know, on the world stage,
that emanate from many of these European countries, but basically, you are
your EPCOT. I don't you don't want to hear this, and this is
and by the way, this isn't me attacking you. This is about understanding
your role in the global economy. Right because the U asked I saw last
week everyone was arguing because you know, they always post these snotty things where
they're like, what was the tweet that everybody riled up? Some woman is
like, you know, I I go to three countries every week most but
only thirty percent of Americans have a passport. They don't understand culture, and
that's garbage. As somebody who has traveled extensively, both in the US and
outside of the US, the US has the ability to be culturally distinct internally,
more so than any European country. And it's not to say that different
parts of different countries in Europe aren't culturally different. They are, but not
to the extent the US is not even remote. If somebody who has lived
for lengths, you know, distinctive lengths of time in Wyoming, California,
Minnesota, and North Carolina, as well as a little bit in Colorado,
but I'll count that into Wyoming, even though it does have its differences they're
remarkably different. This is like a topic I could talk about forever. Well,
we're going too. I'm just so upset, so upset they don't understand
how big our country is. But there's also this impression over there when you
read these posts and social media that like they believe that because we're one country,
that it's like the that there's no distinct culture between regions, which is
complete garbage. Oh it's it's like like if I drive sixteen hours, right,
I'll drive sixteen hours, yes, to get home to see my mother,
Yes, sixteen Now you go from I don't know, London and you
go sixteen hours in whatever direction, or you're in Germany and you go sixteen
hours, You're going to pass through how many different countries? Right? So
I can't believe in five hours to get to northern Italy from from the UK.
Right. And we've got so many different climates, right, yes,
sort of areas the snowy mountains. Do you want, the tropics? Yes?
Do you want? Do you want the beach? Do you want the
mountains? What do you want? And it's not only that, but every
area, Like I said, because I've lived in so many different time zones,
as well. Yes, every area of this country is completely different,
different and culture, different cuisine, and this is something that the European mind
cannot comprehend. Different laws like that. I was explaining to one of my
good uh my buddy Andy there over in the UK and ment him off twitch
and he was completely like he didn't understand the concept of the states. He
assumed that every state would have the same laws. So when they see these
laws pass by, like scotis right about like abortion or whatever, and they're
like, oh my god, abortion is now illegal. No that now it
is the state's right to decide. I'd explain to him why you know what
that means that there can be different laws and different and that's okay. Again,
this is not me. I don't want a hack on Barcelona, which
is where they were doing this work kun thing, because it's a it's an
amazing city. You should go there. You should go. But you have
to understand why people go and and and and and do this. They go
because they want to see you acting like your grandfather, okay, or your
great grandfather. They want to go. There's a there's whole countries that we
only travel to see stuff that's ruined right, it's not I want to see
an old, broken down castle. Man, Yes, we go there.
Oh, the the Acropolis, we go to see it because it's busted.
It's in and and and and and historic in that manner. When we go
to Barcelona, we want to go we want to go to the piazza.
We want to go see the fountain. You want to go see you want
to go see all the stuff the current Europeans didn't build, right, O.
Hey, I was seeing stuff like I don't remember where I read it.
But they were talking about how when it comes to passports, the United
States has the lowest percentage population, has one right sort to explain this because
the average American will never go to all fifty states. There the size of
this country is hard for them to understand. And they make these same arguments
where they're like, O, well, why don't you have high speed rail.
We have high speed rail over here? Well have you been over here?
Because what you see in common you want you go down these rabbit holes
of uh. People from Europe that visit the United States or even from Asia
that visit the United States for the first time, and they make these videos
and they all have something in common. All of the people that tend to
visit here, this tends to be the number one thing. They are all
completely shocked and overwhelmed at just how big our country is. They have yes,
and it's stuff like you talked to what blew me away is the most
common thing that I when I was when I first visited Ireland. It was
one of the first European countries I ever visited and was talking with people there
had been to the US. They wouldn't shut up about the roads, right,
like, and you realize they are remarkably they're just bigger. Yeah.
Yeah. The other thing too, is I was reading I was seeing a
post about this a social media where they were talking about our differences when it
comes to the European and the like the American mind where what we considered to
be a long journey like a long car ride. Yes, because post you
and I must have seen the same post, because it was part of the
rabbit hole that literally was stirred by this woman running out and trying to protect
her daughter from being horrible. Because and I once to get my friend over
in the UK Andy he was like I told him. I was like,
I drive forty to fifteen minutes to work one way every day and you don't
live in an unreasonable suburb. I Wake Forest is common. It's like if
people live in like southern Holly Springs. I'm like, that's a a long
way thirty four, but I also take the long er. I don't like
go down Capitol and I don't like, yeah, five for it. I
hate all that. So but to him, he was like, that's insane.
And I'm like, dude, that is a short car ride. That's
nothing. But even my family when they do come to visit from New York.
I remember when my parents came down to visit, like what long time
ago, like twenty ten or whatever it was before my father passed away,
And I'm so now acclimated to how it is in the South that to me,
driving from wake Forest to say, the Fairgrounds in Rally isn't a long
car ride for me. That's just I'm just getting in my car and I'm
going somewhere, right. It's the difference if you live out in the country
as opposed to the city, and they live in the city. So when
we were doing that, they were like, this is a long car ride.
We're driving. I'm like, this is normal now, But it's the
same thing over the UK. They're like a forty minute ride is like I'm
like, I don't even where I live anymore? Where am I? And
and and again that's fine where I would say, like a long car ride
where I'm like, man, this is starting to get long. I would
say it's probably over over five hours. After five hours, I'm like,
now I'm kind of in the car for a while. But like a car
or ride to the beach, if I'm going to like topsail or whatever,
Yeah, not an issue, not a lot an issue. Yeah, probably
not even stopping at a gas station. No, I'm not might might might
you know, to just get stuff while we're down there, But there's no
there's no need to. And and so like I saw somebody made a video
of this, and they're right. They just play like Europe's living off fumes.
They're living off everything that was. And when people come to the US,
I'm going to throw out, you know, let's talk about who made
what? All right, so stuff we'll go with stuff that God made right,
natural scenery, things like that. Countries most most countries have some of
that or even a lot of it. Look, the Alps are wild,
and I grew up in the mountains. They're wild. And what Italy has,
what France has in Switzerland and everything, it's amazing. But that's not
what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the stuff that you built. And
the difference is people want to go see what your grandfather built, right.
They want that. They want that little slice of culture, They want that
little Parisian cafe. They want all of that. They want to go see
all that Rome has when you're not getting pickpocketed, and you know what the
Vatican is. If they go visit, that's what they want to see.
When they come to the US, where do they go. They want to
go see the new stuff we built. They want to go see the innovative
stuff, which is why they go to Times Square and they go to La
and they do the Hollywood thing. Because whether they like us or don't like
us, or purport that every country that I've ever visited, every single damn
one can't get enough of American Culturemerican products, American entertainment, you name it,
it's there. And it's weird that in many countries your train you watch
war movies with subtitles. Yeah, because we invented the modern world. Every
everything with few exceptions, or we improved it all right, And I'll have
this argument all day, but right now I got to take a break.
We'll be back. Hang on. My people look to other countries and the
expectations they have, you know, for for all of the crap. I
gotta sit there about with the US, you know, with the US,
and oh they're just so horrible and they go over and they do stuff and
they destabilize countries and all of that will one yes, yeah, yeah,
that is the thing that we do. We don't do it, probably to
the extent that we used to, or at least as openly. But also
when you need something destabilized, who do you come? Ask us? You
come ask us? You have an expectation that the US handle it. The
US will foot the bill for the NATO stuff, the US will do this,
the US will do that. But also you fail to recognize that you're
not on the cutting edge of innovation and almost ninety percent of the stuff that
you use every day and you love. Let's talk about it. Can we
talk about trains? Ross brought up trains. I always have to hear about
trains. The state of California. You can see what happens when you're looking
at long distance light rail or high speed rail. Excuse me, that is
an absolute money pit of doom and it's doing large. Part two one,
it was a lot easier to build out this infrastructure because you built it on
existing platforms, because it makes a lot of sense when you have a collective
of postage stamp companies to do trains like I get it. But you also
can go pay eighty bucks you get on a Ryan Air and maybe get an
infection theor gross if you've never been on one. And those are the low
cost airlines travel models. Something that the US pretty much put into play are
the rage in Europe because it's easy to go if you're in London to go
on holiday, to use the terminology in Abitha in very short order and for
not a lot of money. And then when you get there to Abitha,
not only going to see all of the yachts and all of that, but
you're going to see, like many of the islands in the Mediterranean, you're
going to see an homage to the way that things were. When you travel
through Greece, you're either going to see you're either you're going to see broken
stuff or you're going to see portions of the Mediterranean that are captured in time.
You're not going for the modern office buildings and what they innovate in Athens,
which exists a lot of times. You know, it's crazy as a
lot of countries or a lot of cities that you've that you've never been to,
that when you actually look at them, are surprisingly modern, but it's
uninspiring. New York City is modern and inspiring, and that's why people go
there, and they go there for the stuff that's created. Going back to
the trains, the very first train is a Welsh I don't know if you
know this is Welsh, right because you actually go see this. But when
you get into the modern locomotive, you know who did that Us US And
what was accomplished with trains, not necessarily in the tourism way that Europe uses
them. What was accomplished was the ability to settle this giant swath of land
that we had. And is there a lot of horribleness that came with the
abuse of the people who physically built the railroad. Absolutely, but that's not
any different than in Europe. I don't know if you know this. They
use slaves to construct railways. Following the advent of of the locomotive in the
early eighteen hundreds by the Welsh stud whose name I can't remember, we figured
out how to use it to build a nation and then from there. Uh,
it's not just the US. The stuff that you want, the stuff
that you you think you want, that you uh, that you you you
put on your Christmas list, and the latest gadget or gizmo or things likely
came from US, Korea, Japan, China to some extent, along with
investment made in countries like Dubai and others which are themselves incredibly fake, but
they have so much money that it aids in the development of these things.
And because that's our place, and it doesn't mean that we don't have history
that people want to come see, uh, you know, but it's all
a little different everywhere. You know. The the history of the wild West
is a very popular tourism thing. It's just just one example. So you
know, understandably, when people come out to Wyoming, do they want to
go to the Wyoming Technological Park in Cheyenne just outside of Cheyenne. No,
they don't visit that. They go to Yellowstone and run from Oh, my
gosh, you see one of the geysers exploded. Everyone's just losing their mind
running on the boardwalk. But nobody got Gord and I guess nobody got Geysered
either. It just literally biscuit basin is what it's called. It just it
had enough. Just there's pretty oppressive video out there. So people go to
see that, and then they want to go to Cody and they want to
go see an old cowboy rodeo, which they do every week there for tourists.
And so between the visually stunning stuff and maybe checking out Hole in the
Wall or the hanging Judge exhibit down by Laramie, you know, or any
one of the other hundreds of things out there. And Wyoming understands that.
But when you look at the where people go, where the most visited things
are. Do you know what the most visited things are in America by foreign
tourists. I think you probably can guess a couple of them. Orlando,
Florida. Right. Obviously, people come here because they want to go see
this thing, this amazing thing that was built and is now run still by
some of the people who built it. The majority of the buildout of Disney
World is within my lifetime, even though did the part when did a Disney
World open like what seventies early seventies. The majority of what you see as
Disney now was all built within my lifetime. But you know, Disney didn't
even have hotel properties when they first opened, and it was like it was
the big whoops when they opened Disneyland. They didn't have money to build hotels,
and Disney couldn't get people to invest, and finally some oil dudes from
Texas struck a deal with him, which he ultimately regretted and told screwed them
over to build hotels because Anaheim was in the middle of nowhere and they needed
that infrastructure. And once Disney realized how valuable that was, Orlando and what
they built over there was almost entirely predicated on their ability to control every aspect
of everything, which is why if you go there, even if you think
you're not at Disney, you're still a Disney. Every dollar you spend,
even if you think you're going to a grocery store you're like, we're gonna
go save money where you get some food, You're probably shopping at a grocery
store that's owned by Disney and all of that stuff was constructed and it's still
run by people who are there, and that's what people come to see.
They want to see the amazingess of New York. And yeah, they want
to go see some of the natural wonders absolutely Grand Canyon stuff like that,
but they want the modern, which is why New York's up there and Los
Angeles and of course Hollywood and everything that encompasses it, even with the you
know, the sanity that ensues out there today. So I get really,
I finally had enough of it yesterday and I'm like, you know what,
I'm just gonna rant today and you all can listen to it. So it
was weird. And I also, I'm going to get to my epiphany and
kind of tie this in when I was watching a Jean Claude van Dam movie,
which even though Jean Claude van Dam is you know, not, it
was not Americ. I think he is an American now, right, He
is a citizen. The even the all those cheesy eighties action flair that was
us. As much as that was us and the expansion of the entire film
industry was us. And everything that you see in the in the in the
modern take, and it doesn't mean that there are not people all over the
world that contributed, but it was us, and so it's fine to recognize
that. And so you know, well, uh, we'll make sure to
point it out on the show because for ninety percent of those countries, what
is encapsulated in EPCOT, which are the you know, the most stereotypical representations
of those are also what people to continue to this day to go see when
they go travel. They want to see that, but they want to see
it for reels and in most cases the people that are there fire and squirt
guns of tourists annoyed by it would be absolutely financially decimated if people didn't show
up, And I understand it can get annoying. It's you know, I
make fun of tourists goring season out in Wyoming, but I wouldn't have it
any other way. I think everyone should see Yellowstone before they die, because
I can't describe to you how amazingly not in this world you feel when you're
there. It's in cre whether you're running from a bis and you tried to
pet or guysers trying to murder you, or everything's just going swimmingly. It's
it's indescribable Bryce Canyon in Utah. Indescribable pictures do not do it any justice.
And there have been a lot of places in this world that I have
been and stood there. And when I had no idea, even though I
had seen photos of I'm telling you, and I moved to Utah, I
felt that same way. It's I can't, I can't. I try to.
I try to explain it to my friends, my family back in New
York, and I'm like, this is like, They're like, what's it
like. I'm like, well, I drive to where and this is when
I lived in Salt Lake. I'm like, I drive to work, the
Mountain Range, the Other Front Range. I can't remember the names, but
yeah, yeah, you're driving there, and like I feel like I'm looking
at a painting. I feel like, yes, I'm driving to work.
I'm looking at a pay it doesn't look real to me. Still one of
the most beautiful places I've ever lived, and there and it's just there.
It is there every day and had I had the good fortune to grow up
in that and even then, I still when I go home, and a
lot of times I'll fly fly into Gillette rather than Sheridan because it's just easier,
and so geelet's kind of flat out in the middle of nowhere. It's
still amazing in the starkness of it. But there's a moment when you hit
the Powder River driving back towards Buffalo, and if it's clear, you start
seeing the tips of the peaks like Cloud Peak and Bomber Mountain and all of
it that make up that part of the Big Horn Mountains. And it just
as you approach and it gets bigger and bigger, and eventually you hit the
base of it. And those those are not the big mountains. Big Horn
Mountains are twelve about twelve four hundred I think is Cloud Peak, So like,
we don't even have fourteen thousand foot peaks there, which they have in
Colorado, numerous amount of them, right, And the biggest, the biggest
mountains in America in the lower forty eight are in Washington, respectively, and
then of course uh McKinley up in alaska's the biggest. And and you don't
when you see that Himalayas what it's. It's it's just wild. And the
very same people who are who are sitting there and gluing themselves to stuff and
ruining paintings and all this would have a society where you couldn't experience that they
could if they're in the upper echelon like this. This girl who's probably gonna
get five years in prison and her mom, who's got all the money in
the world and as you know, wants to control everything that you do and
hates you, is now having to turn to social media to try to get
a ground swell of support that doesn't look like it's going to do any good.
A she is using now a thing that we built to try to save
her daughter, and the irony just doesn't click with her. That's that That's
the real kicker here, right. She hates everything that we do and the
smugness of Americans and all the rest, and she's going to use our technology
because her her influence isn't enough and somebody should explain that to her and maybe
maybe just maybe not fun to lifestyle for her kid to run around and ruin
everybody else's and expect that there's not going to be any consequences. It is
six forty eight. Hang on, all right, that's just wonderful. That's
what you get on Wednesday, though, Right, Everything's just everything's just got
to be a problem, all right, phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. That will get you on the show. That's
how we do that thing. If cocaine bear wasn't enough for you, Now
we have cocaine sharks. Thankfully they're in Brazil. But you know, if
they're in Brazil and they're all hopped up on the you know, the Bolivian
marching powder, I guess they could be here pretty quick. Scientists say that
thirteen Brazilians sharp nosed sharks which live off the they live off the coast of
Rio Desionaro, which that's got to be good eating. You ever seen beaches
in Rio shock full of stuff, you know, to snack on, mostly
Brazilians. But and they found that in the muscle tissue of all thirteen specimens
were pretty significant amounts of cocaine. The particular sharks were chosen for their proximity
to shallow coastal waters. There's a whole lot of them, and you know,
one of the contaminants, or one of the things is they are they
do ship swim show shallow that they tend to spend a large part of their
lifetime in discharge areas. So yeah, it ain't good. Let's see here,
significant contaminate discharges. They spend most of their life cycles swimming in this
and it causes a and then of course you know people, there's a lot
of people using the cocaine. They're in Rio because I don't know. I
guess if you're running a miss Bumbump contest and it requires that level of torque
and you got to keep your energy levels up. But yeah, let's see
here. So do you think the cartels are using the sharks to smuggle the
cocaine? I don't think they're using them to smuggle. It would be amazing.
Yeah, I don't know where you'd put it either. How do you
get a shark to swallow you know, condoms full of cocaine? But nobody's
messing with that shark? Well they are, you ever see the videos?
Or they'll just pull sharks out of the water and throw them onto the busy
beaches in Rio. That's a good point, and they're just like, look
what I found and everyone starts freaking out. The in fact, that happens
often enough, they're like, can you not do that? Please? So
yeah, but you know they got all the teeth. So when you're trying
to get them to swallow the the cocaine inside the prophylactics, right, that
you run the risk of their sharp teeth cutting them, and then the m
odon and then before you know it, you have cocaine sharks coming to murder
you. Yeah. Yeah, no, It actually does make it more horrifying
that while they're, you know, on their way to the US to smuggle
the drugs, that one of them could burst and they would receive a super
high dosage. Back underway here on your Wednesday morning, can we stop.
I understand that there are people who's it is to go and sow excitement into
Kamala Harris, right, because you have to. You have to convince people,
especially like did you see Black Lives Matter came out and they're mad as
hell over this this anointed thing, right because they have to. They put
a press release out and it's simultaneously like, you know, we'd love to
see obviously a black president, a black women president, the historic nature of
it, but also screw you to us. What happened to the people being
able to actually choose and not just you know, nineteen hundred and whatever the
number is delegates that you can literally call on the phone and promise stuff to
which apparently now she claims to have the numbers there. So there's still that
ugliness. There's the part where five minutes ago even people within the party didn't
like her, and you have to get people pumped. But it's just getting
obnoxious and and cringe doesn't even begin to to I guess label what's going on?
Like you have the I don't know if you saw Michael Steele with his
Captain America imagery, Yeah, it made me vomit. I'm sorry, I'm
sorry to hear you. And I'm a big Captain American fan, big fan
of Steve Rogers. She had two shields and there's another Captain America behind her
with like a hand growing out of his head. Yeah. As you know,
as the drugs hit people differently, man, so sometimes it takes you
from a little skinny weekly in to literally Captain America and other times horrible,
horrible birth defects. I mean, it was an impressive picture, But there's
this other one where Trump got shot, went down, bounced up with a
power fist and said fight. That was pretty amazing. Yeah, remember when
that happened? Like when was that at least like twenty years ago or someone
was it. Yeah, I swear it was like, oh, that's two
weeks ago, two weeks ago. Yeah, but that's what we're gonna get.
And it's it's impressive to watch people immediately fall into line. I was,
I'm gonna make this analogy because after the after the show on Monday,
right, I'm this is uh, you know, this is my Now,
I'm into my little downtime in the middle of the day, I flip on
the TV and lo and behold what's on Kickboxers on right? Remember the classic
Jean Claude Van Damn movie The The basically the story of the movie is his
brother is like he's fighting Ty in Thailand and he's fighting the bad the bad
dude, and the bad dude is a really bad dude, and he's willing
to do stuff like Chung Lee was willing to do in uh in Blood Sport,
right, he doesn't. He doesn't, he doesn't fight clean and actually
it's it's much more horrible than that because there's literally like weaponized rape in that
movie. For a lighthearted movie, there's pretty deep stuff going on in there,
and and his brother is almost killed. It's not a unique plot point
and then Jean Claude van Dam you know to has to avenge this and it
speaks to something that I think Hollywood has forgotten, and I know politicians have
forgotten. There are a lot of people that are willing to suspend believe or
suspend disbelief, right, and they're willing to go along with sheer lunacy that
doesn't make any sense. The whole movie is one of the laziest movies ever
and there's so many reasons what won Much like with blood Sport, like The
Bad Guy, there's no character development, right. The bad guys are just
the bad guys, and so you're expected to go along with the writers being
so lazy that they barely came up with names for them, right, and
they didn't. Let's not let's not do anything with more than one syllable,
right, that could be confusing. Right. So Chong Lee or in this
case, Tom is a tong tongue. Poe is the is the fighter,
but he's not even the bad guy. He's he's one of He's like number
three in the bad guy hierarchy because above him is another dude whose name escapes
me. But it's it's it's basically like three letters, and he's kind of
he's the on site bad guy, but the bad bad guy who runs all
of them, who stakes the million dollars because they were going to fix the
fight, the big final showdown fight. So Jean Claude van Dam's character,
who is constantly immediately recognized as quote an American, even with that accent by
everyone he encounters, is the dude who stakes the money, who loses his
money. I lose the money. His name is and I'm not making this
up, Master Warlord. That's an official rink. It's his name. His
name is. It's a placeholder dame. It's like when they put the script
together, they're just like, what master Warlords? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, we'll come up. We'll come up with something. It's something
that if you saw a five year old with action figures and then there's the
good guy in the bad guy, the bad guy would be either who's that
Master Warlord? Right? It's so lazy and and the whole all of the
plot points, right, Jean Claude van Dam's never been a kickboxer. And
then his brother almost gets killed, which is very predictable when you see really
how everything's run there, and those dirty tricks and so and then after this
happens, he needs to avenge his brother. So he goes and he finds
the old smart guy in the forest somewhere, uh the forest where there just
happens to if you walk down certain paths, be really modern stuff. Because
as part of his training, which is the standard montage of him having his
crotch, you know, pulled apart with vines and having a kick bamboo trees
down, and and then he goes and then in the middle of it,
he just walks through a jungle path into a bar that's really got a lot
of people in it, and it just happens to have like a two thousand
pound Wurlitzer jukebox in it. That's where the meme of him dancing comes from
here, yes, yes, Then he then proceeds to do the most awkward
dance because somebody in the middle of a jungle hauled a one ton jukebox in
there, which just happens to take us currency. And and then all the
native all the all the village ladies want to dance with him, and which
makes the other guys mad, but he can fight them all. And in
two months time, he goes from not knowing anything about fighting style to the
best ever right, and and people will go every bit of this is stupid
if you stop and think about it. And yet that is a that movie
is a very popular movie, and it's because a deal was struck, and
the deal was I'll go along with this as the consumer, just entertain me.
It's a good piece of escapism. Yes, it just entertained me.
And what where Hollywood gets this wrong is they want that same thing, and
but they also they break the deal because rather than just entertaining me, right,
where I might go along with how Opede Captain Marvel is if in the
throughout the entire movie, you weren't trying to lecture me, like you go
along with the stupidity, if you're just entertaining me. Guardians of the Alexy
Ross tells the story of somebody who was he found it problematic that drats could
hang out of a back of a spaceship making an entry onto a planet through
its atmosphere and bounce off trees and be fine. It's fine if you don't
think about it. And as a result, what do you get? You
get an incredibly entertaining movie where you're not trying to lecture me. Why am
I throwing this all out there? Because this is this is what people are
willing to do in politics. They're willing to go along if you know,
even if they don't like Trump, They're willing to go along with it if
they feel that they're going to get what they want it. But as soon
as it looks like you're breaking the deal, people will revolt on that.
And and my comparison continues because what happened with Kickboxer two. I don't even
remember Kickboxer two. Well, I'm a spoiler for you. So they want
to go do Kickboxer two and Van Dam wouldn't do it, or he couldn't,
or say there was something going on, but he's not in it kind
of and apparently it got so nasty that this is what the producers of the
film, who by the way, also ended up making like three total sequels,
which I didn't even know that until I happened to look this morning.
There's Kickboxer three, and then there's a Kickboxer with not a numerical name,
but it's like get box Er Infinity or something that came out like ten years
ago, which I wasn't even aware of. And what happened in that is
it? It's all the same cheesiness. It's really the same, all the
same plot points. It's a revenge flick. But what did they decide to
do? They decided to in one of the opening scenes, take a very
poorly constructed Jean Claude Van Damn dummy and have Tongue Poe shoot him in the
head. Oh my god, so the Iron Eagle too? Did? They
absolutely murder Van Dam's character and didn't put anything around it. We're supposed to
believe the Tongue po was still so upset about losing that match that he but
he went down a rabbit hole of depression, got himself a gun, tracked
down Van Dam's character in La Somewhere, found him in a parking lot,
was able to roll up on him and shoot him in the head. You
know, you broke you broke the deal, you broke the promise. There
you go, there, you go there. You can't kill the main character
like the hero from the first movie. It's it's Iron Eagle too. I
remember being so distraught as a kid because they loved Iron Eagle. Yeah,
Doug masters right, he's a big hero that he goes to Libya he lands
the plane, he frees his war hero father, he shoots a missile from
the runway, he takes off, he blows up the president of Libya and
the sky out and he lives happily. Ever after this second movie, I'm
so super excited about this as a kid they killed Doug Masters in the first
ten seconds, gets blown out of the sky. I think if by some
random Russian MiG and you broke the deal, I'm out. I'm not watching
the rest of the movie this. And then they decided that there's a third
brother who now has to get revenge for the for the middle brother. And
I think they did it again in Kickboxing three. I don't know I've seen
it, but yeah, you broke the deal. And so with what's going
on with Harris right now is you broke the deal. Look at all of
the stuff that people are willing to fall in line with politically that they may
not agree with, but if it means that they don't have to think about
politics for a few years, they're willing to go along with it. And
that's that's who you're playing to with this stuff right now, where you've just
decided you're going to create a narrative, and it's going to be an easy
narrative. And the easy narrative is she's just been weight. She's been lying
in wait, probably writing down a bunch of fantastic ideas. They're all going
to be fantastic and great. And the other guy he wasn't real great,
and we understand why you're upset. But she's going to be great. Look
here she is Captain America here, and she's she's so smart. Here's her
list of accomplishments that are being floated around. Because you have to convince people
to go along with your stupid ass script. You have to you have to
convince them that you know, our guess Tong Poe in this case is the
the people who, according to the New York Times, may have threatened the
president with the twenty fifth and it would be a legacy turnisher. So they're
just like, look, you can do that, or you can or you
can kill yourself. I mean those I mean, that's your those are your
choices. And it'll be interesting to see if people will sign up for Kickboxer
two. I don't know that they will, but also maybe they will,
because why would they then make subsequent kickboxers if they didn't make money on it,
I could talk forever all of the other things that just don't make sense
in the original movie. Yet people regard is a good movie, the original
one, but they weren't. They weren't willing to put up with it until
after that. It's the same reason the media snapped the other day. For
about a week, don't worry, they're they're fact fine, They're doing their
thing. Man. I was thinking, you know, for a week there,
two weeks there, we got a glimpse of what this country would be
like if we had a fair and balanced press. And then once Biden is
out, they've turned in a diamond that is over. But it just makes
you think, like what if. Yeah, and the only reason that they
were willing to do that, and they're absolutely unaware of it. I saw
media members pointing out that they were always tough, and it's really unfair to
say that there's bias there, and and it's it's laughable. It just shows
you what being in a bubble is. But the thing was, once they
got a whiff of the part where they very clearly contributed to this cover up,
and democrat, even Democrats, are willing to come out and say things
that made people look over at the media and go, wait, a secon
did he just say this thing? Like the former Republican Speaker of the House
Kevin McCarthy just randomly said in an interview that they show up to policy meetings
and Jill's there, what are you screw you? First of all, and
everybody else who also showed up and went why is she sitting in here?
Wall Street Journal had an article the other day talking about how Biden had pretty
much just been a figurehead for the past two three years. Yes, and
and once the media realized that they were going to take some of that flak,
all of a sudden, they got to kick it into high gear.
Man, they got to come out and be like God because they were the
one. They realized that they were going to catch it on the chin.
And then all of these people that they work with on the daily, who
will feed them information, give them scoops, give them anonymous sources. They
were they were gonna make a deal. They were gonna make a deal with
the Feds and testify against you, and you can't have that. And now
that that that situation's over, it's an immediate snapback to no, she's always
been smart, she's always she's always had good ideas. They're trying to go
after her because they're racist by mispronouncing her name or saying sexistuff. It don't
got be wrong. Some of you are posting really stupid stuff that is wildly
unnecessary. I saw what was it, lumur or whatever, and she's like,
she doesn't have any babies. So what does Laura Lumer have a baby?
I hope dot? And why do you have You don't have to go
here. There's so much low hanging fruit. And this is how you this
is how you snatch de feet from the jaws of victory people. She is
tong po Let her be. We'll be back mayby. You know I opened
the show telling you about the the activists and and you know that they're they're
giving out real jail sentences. And then this mom her by the way,
the mom's name is Kathy Gethen, whose daughter is one of the moonbats.
And there's the judge, this judge, and this most of the stems from
the UH the attempted shutdown of like the British interstate, the m whatever it
is. And the same judge is going to be handing out sentences or I
guess is now handing out sentences for going in and and going to the wherever
the van go was in London, I'm not sure which gallery it was in
and throwing soup all over it. And there's a whole bunch of these and
they just can't deal. And this woman who if you read about her,
is she it's it's the whole Uh. I learned it from watching you dad.
Thing. Mom just can't deal with the decisions that her grown adult daughter
is making. And she just got four years four years. And remember,
if you go through all the evidence of what has transpired with these shutdowns,
there's real injury to people. Some of it's financial, and then people try
to discount that, which is stupid. There is clear evidence that it actually
increased the release of greenhouse gases. That's indisputable. And then there's actual physical
damage from people who a woman who had pregnancy complications and could have lost her
child, to a child that did almost die because they had the inability to
access medication that was necessary for part of a seizure condition that they have because
they were just sitting there, jammed in traffic and moms on a microphone,
uh, talking about Well this my daughter is christ Gassin. At the age
of twenty two, she was the youngest defendant, and she has just been
sentenced today to four years in prison. This means she will not be present
at her brother's wedding next summer. I you know, I didn't even think
of that, ma'am. I am. I am so sorry that she won't
be present at her brother's wedding. Okay, so here's what we do.
We let her out for the wedding. Why what? No? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Listen? Why why? We let her out
for the wedding. And then on the way to the wedding, we stage
a protest in the middle of the road. Oh, for some stupid cause
like free the Manatees or people for the Liberation of salons or whatever. They
were up in like top they were up in like tops. One. Yeah,
so that she's she's just in her car screaming at the protest about the
wedding, and you keep her there, trapped in front of the protest or
surrounded by maybe they can get a car, but for hours until the wedding
is complete. And then when the wedding is complete, you send her back
to prison. Oh that is that is diabolical? Can we chant because what
about thees man? Can we chant manatee slogans that don't make sense? So
you tell her, and you tell her like the day before, so she's
all, exct. Yeah, hey, we've decided, you know, we've
got passionate release or whatever. We're gonna let you go the wedding. All
right, here's your dress and oh your makeup and stuff and makeup. I
didn't trust me. I didn't look like you were making it. Okay,
Well you're you're gonna you're gonna look and you're gonna smell great for the wedding.
Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be nice. And he can't. You
gotta let her get most of the way there. Oh but not a walkable
distance, right not. You can't run the risk of her getting out of
the car and hoofing it. I'd volunteer there to save the sloughs or the
manateese. I thought it was just say I thought it was managed whatever.
The manites sloth, that doesn't matter, the world's slowest creature would have to
be a manitee sloth. I don't know if you're aware of this. Just
lumber. Lumber isn't even a word for that. You just think it's dead
all the time, like, oh no, it blinked, all right,
So Ross has opted for torture. I got a question, how come how
come the brother can't move his wedding? How about that? How about how
about the brother and fiance are like, hey, you know, uh,
we'll have the wedding in four years in the day because people are sick of
this man. Did you see and you might have talked about it when I
was at Tennessee for the funeral, did you see the protest climate wackos that
were protesting the Tesla plant in Germany where they were they're Naruto running at the
thing. Yeah, they were like out a Tesla plant like an ev plant,
vandalizing, making noise, being stupid. Yeah, and you know why
because they said they cut the forest down, And it turns out the plot
that they build on was a tree farm, So the forest that they cut
down was like three year old pines that were Christmas trees. Because wait till
they hear where they get the car batteries from. Oh man, that's gonna
be well, you know what, I'd love to see him trying to run
one of those rare earth mineral mining operations in Western China. Like to see
how that goes. That's probably gonna go real well for you guys. Yeah,
so uh yeah. And for all the power and sway and everything that
this woman had, nobody cares. People who were like, I'm a I'm
an environmental activist. These people are awful, don't care and and and they're
also the other thing is too they didn't sentence her necessarily for the shutdown,
along with the founder of this organization, and they have a little cutesy nick
name for him, like you know, the Central Park six or something like
that. I don't remember what it is, but it's dumb. They sentenced
actually they were actually sentenced for a plan another one that was to be upcoming
to disrupt it because they were able to get this the conspiracy. It's not
quite rico stuff, but it allows you to get in. And then they
used examples of the harm that was done with other protests to show that they
knew full well that if they did this people literally could die of medical emergencies
or suffer significant financial penalties. So it was it was an interesting way.
Now the soup stuff that's going to be that's for the physical act of doing
it, because there is a hard dollar value there, and you know,
people went, well, yes, but it's just a painting, right,
and so the value is you know, is arbitrary, which is not true.
People will there. You know, there's a reason that there's a definable
number for the insurance policies on this thing. And so when you go to
destroy that, and if you you know, if you don't get your butt
kicked by some irritated delivery dude in the truck, which those there's been some
amazing videos, it becomes very quantifiable as to the damage that was there.
And so in the same way that a painting that's worth fifteen million dollars and
a condo, like a high end condo that's worth fifteen million that you went
and arsened, and it's it's like weird people wouldn't make that argument for the
one, but not the other. So it's not an argument that holds any
water man. And you need the water for the sloth vanite to live in,
which were very concerned about, all right, So eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four and oh and then also they're just like this
judge is on a GHD. Maybe maybe maybe that's or maybe the judge is
just like you know, everywhere else, and they had a little graph of
you know, this was wild to me. Mom had a little graph there
and it had like the average amount of jail time that people get for crimes,
and you know, it had like murder and it had rape, and
it had robbery and all of that, and like higher up in the list
is the average sentence for environmental protesters, which isn't by the way, it's
only the average sentence if you average the three that have received sentencing. The
vast majority of those arrested for protesting didn't receive any jail time, let alone
finds, and you didn't include those. And if your problem is that the
average if you go and commit a rape in one of these your in countries
and I don't know where they what all countries were included in this because there's
a few different ones they're doing prosecution. The bigger issue is not that your
daughter got four years for doing this thing or plotting to do this thing based
on other things she had done. It's that you all don't take rape seriously.
That's that's the bigger story there, So maybe work on that. But
this is She's also the one who is not going to be able to study
music at Cambridge for four years, and whose photo mom was holding up is
clearly her when she's like thirteen and just a you know, innocent little schoolgirls.
So to come out and give a press conference and throw this out,
my daughter is christ Gathin. At the age of twenty two, she was
the youngest defendant and she has just been sentenced today to four years in prison.
This means she will not be present at her brother's wedding next summer.
Yeah, all right, we'll move the wedding or do Rosses thing. I'm
down with Rosses thing. First I thought he was trying to be all big
heart, but I nope, he just went He went for the evil,
all right, seven forty five race stagic. He's gonna sound evil when he
gives his forecast, but he's not. Yeah, I'm not the job he's
got to do. Man, we do, and you know, really delivering
more of the same old, same old. The placement of where the rain's
going to be difficult to forecast, but the next few days are in it.
This morning a lot of clouds or some light rain showers, most of
them lined up east now from Greenville down toward Jacksonville and out toward the outer
banks. And they're moving away, so you'll get some time. If you're
heading toward the beach right now, passing through, there'll be some dry periods
mixed in a lot of clouds and some sunshine today for everybody the beach.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, they's found cocaine sharks.
Due, Yes they did. I did see that. Okay, so don't
tend people to the beach. Well, I don't know they found him on
that in Brazil. You don't You don't think. You don't think a shark
hopped on hopped up on cocaine couldn't get to the outer Banks in record time.
Well, I was wondering if that didn't explain a few things too.
Maybe the more sightings are the more of recent of Maybe that's why they coked
up and decided to they're all doing. They're all doing disco. Sharks do
sleep anyway, right, Yeah, that's true. They keep moving. Yeah,
so then just imagine that and moving even more right Yeah, yeah,
but anyway, Yeah, more wet weather scattered around right through tomorrow and Friday.
There's some hope you know that we are going to see maybe some dryer
weather in for the upcoming weekend. And hang on a second, Yeah,
floodwatch just issued earlier this morning. The sharks, you're going to get further
inland. Yeah, so it adds up. There may be some flash flooding,
but the rain we've seen so far this weekend excepts of runoff that kicks
in eleven o'clock this morning through tomorrow evenings. So another one to maybe two
inch to rain some make it more. So, well, we're in it.
But I'm really gonna be curious to see the drought monitor tomorrow morning.
Maybe not as much as you are, Casey, but we'll see if we've
erased any of the levels of drought we had across the state in the last
week. And I've got to imagine we have with all the rain. Yeah.
So one minute you're a new burn trying to see if you can find
a Coca Cola anywhere in town because you know pepsi, And the next minute
there's a shark that pops out of the river there and eats you. So
thank you, thank you. Welcome with your rain forecast there, all right,
appreciate it. Have a good one there. You go to race agent
from the Weather Channel. All right, so the Secret Service director is she's
resigned and and and by the way, I did see a couple of things
were like, you know, this is you know it was. They didn't
quite call her brave, but they're like, gave her credit for it.
You don't give her any credit for it. And I got some very interesting
emails from folks where I was talking about the failure of you know, people
that are in what we consider kind of the badass rolls when things go wrong,
and what real consequences actually look like. And I threw out there like,
you know, if you had mission failure like this in a military setting,
what that would mean? Or you just somebody who's in the army and
you got guard duty, right, they don't screw around with this stuff.
And I kind of had asked some of our military listeners, I'm like,
what does that look like? And it looks I'll tell you what it looks
like. What real actual consequences look like? Man? And we'll get into
that next here on the Cacoday radio program. I don't have the military experience,
let alone serving in you know, a special forces capacity, but you
have to look at Secret Service like that, or at least you used to
see. Record Service had a very significant, defined mission. They had an
ass an a as assets, They had you know, equipment and funding to
go out and do a job that is not an easy job, admittedly,
and there was a certain amount of respect and esteem that existed there, right,
and I know some of it was chipped away with the incident that happened
when they remember when they went to Columbia and they found out that while they
were off duty, I guess they were you know, bringing the whores,
right, and and that obviously is hugely problematic. I'm not disagreeing there because,
like you know, pillow talk is a great way to get intel from
people. Plus there's the part where if you're doing something you know you're not
supposed to, there's the ability to compromise and maybe bribe people into giving you
information. And so that was you know, that was kind of the black
guy. But what happened with Trump was insane. And so for this woman
to sit there, the now resigned director and not even be able to commit
that heads would roll for obvious deficiencies and acting like it's you know, it's
an hr problem at Health and Human Services because you know some dudes are taken
too many smoke breaks, is so injurious to the program. And I said
that this just wouldn't fly in any other capacity. And a bunch I had
several emails and messages. I'm going to paraphrase here so I don't get somebody
in trouble, but I think this, this one sums it up pretty well.
And this is This is from somebody down in the Brag area who I
chat with from time to time. He said, I'll tell you what would
happen. On Monday morning. A mass relief and firing would occur. Many
would be escorted out the front gate and back into Big Army, which is
outside of the Special Forces unit. Now you're just you know, you're off
rake and dirt or whatever and would never return. Rank, position, time
and unit and PAS accomplishments would carry little influence. The mission failure would initiate
a massive review of unit culture selection process. A bunch of other stuff that's
kind of specific I'll leave out. And yeah, that's that sounds about right.
Yeah. In this instance, two rules were violated, mission failure and
unit embarrassment, and also exposure to the outside world absolutely one hundred percent and
for her to be so callous and so you know, well, well you
know, we'll look into it. We'll let you know, maybe maybe somebody
no, all right, so we got into a little further discussion with now
the now resigning Secret Service director. I don't want to hear how stunning and
brave it is. She might be one of the most incompetent government government officials.
And that's saying something of my lifetime. And it was rage inducing to
watch the way that she would not tell members of Congress how many rounds were
fired, you know, to still argue that the slope of the roof is
problematic when sniper teams were positioned on much slopier roofs, but it also has
created tons of great memes and the like the stunning moments within the hearing,
whereas one member of Congress pointed out, the roof is so not sloped that
if you built a wheelchair ramp at the same grade, it would be in
compliance with the ADA. And then you see the pictures by the way of
also folks walking in, did you see the window? You know, they're
talking about how hot it was and how they had to leave these positions because
it was just too hot to be on the roof, and the irony is
they didn't even have to be on the roof. There's four buildings there.
The building that the shooter was on is the one that is closest to the
stage but is not the highest, and the building directly next to it actually
has an interior space read that as climate controlled space, like a like a
like an upper floor office that looks over the totality of the roof. So
if they wanted to position themselves inside of that office, and it's got a
window obviously, and you can you can gain access to the roof out of
the window. It actually sticks up above the other roof of the other building
and it gives you a one site line on the top of the roof of
that building. Because you had members of Congress that went down there and they
did this thing where they literally walked around with a camera and just took photos
of stuff, and at one point the FBI was telling them they couldn't do
that, including Senator Hawley was asked by the FBI to leave and he's just
like, I'm not, Nope, that's not gonna happen. And we found
out that she didn't. She didn't even make contact with the agents in charge
for it could be as much as seventy two hours. How do you not
how do you not have at the very least a conversation with the immediate protection
detail as the director? How does that happen that you go the rest of
the weekend and into the work week and you never pick up a phone and
talk to him and went, what the hell happened? But also it's the
inability to you know, to hold people to account that she wouldn't commit to.
As I read there earlier, which was a description from a somebody with
military experience talking about what would happen in a unit, especially an elite unit,
if something if you had this this this mission failure like this, and
it was it was significant, I mean you would you would potentially have an
entire group of people who have literally millions of dollars in training in them sent
back to push papers and and you know, to to run to the end
of their military career, which would be pretty quick. And and then you
get into the bigger questions of how a unit goes in that direction, And
that's real life. There's a new Russell Crowe movie I watched. I don't
know if you guys have seen this called Land of Bad. It's on Netflix.
They just literally just dropped like a week ago. By the way,
is Russell Crowe becoming Steven Sagull? I like me, Don't get me wrong.
I like Russell Crowe a lot more than I like Steven Sagall But like
Russell Crowe is, he's got a beer belly on him. It's pretty You're
like, that dude was Gladiator and I can't. I can't complain. Obviously
I'm not in the same shape that I was, but like to put him
in his character is is a grizzled old pilot, right, and he's a
drone operator and he operates out of Las Vegas, which is where we fly
drones, US military drones, which pretty wild all over the world. And
the premise of the movie is this dude whose air force he is embedded with
the some Tier one guys for whatever reason, and they're going into I think
it's the Philippines where the bad dude, the bad guy's got a base,
a layer, whatever. Things go sideways. There's another bad guy and now
most of the units killed, but the target, the acid that they were
trying to recover, which was another Jaysak dude who was being held captive there,
like he has to through his communication with Russell Crowe's character, and you
know, all of the drone stuff. They it's all leaned very heavily on
drones and the technology, and I'm sure there's a lot of inaccuracies there.
But it's cool, right, it's a cool movie. But he's so wildly
overweight that like he can't button his uniform so he wears just like Hawaiian shirts
and stuff. But whatever, and and the movie plays out. I was
looking at the reviews. It's got, you know, in the six six
out of ten star range six and a half, I think on IMDb and
crow essentially along with the h the actor on the ground, Uh, they're
able to. They're able to, you know, go in there and try
to complete the mission. But the portrayal of all of the other members of
this unit, including the CEO, right, his boss, the the colonel
giving him orders, they're played as absolute bumbling fools that know nothing, accomplished
nothing, and in fact, through their actions get a bunch of real,
you know, real bad bad ombres that that you know, a military guys
that we have get them killed just through their own ineptitude. And you know,
I guess maybe that's the culture within the Secret Service there that she just
believes happens. Just crazy to me, because even the military would would start
purging all these dudes. All right, let me grab a call real quick.
Yeah, what's up? Jeremy? Hello, Jeremy Dan you hear me?
All right? We put him on hold because Ross, oh, turn
back there. All right, let's check. I kind of want to take
that call. Russ has given me a little insight as to what they were
talking about where they were screening the call. I don't know. It was
weird, kind of sound like you went in a weird cell area. All
right, Well, all right, is he good to go? All right,
he's good to go. Rock on, let's do this. What hey,
what's up? What's going on? You playing a zither? All right?
Cheers up? Yeah, I've been listening to you for years. Okay,
And I'm gonna tell you right now what she did was in the army.
There is an article fifteen. Okay, and you're going to get in
trouble, like bad trouble, like you lost rank, possibly get kicked out.
Yeah, yeah, but it's not gonna go well, it's not gonna
go well, it's not it's not gonna go well. I mean there's gonna
be some investigations. I mean, like ying Yang, what what can you
what if a dude fell asleep on guard duty? How big of a deal
with that? Oh? My god? For real? Yeah? No,
people, you're good. Yeah, you've undated article Joe old number one,
right. I mean, dude, this is why, this is why this
has to drive you nuts watching her sit there and act like somebody was taking
too many smoke breaks or something. I went bunker when I sat in there
and I watched it. I'm like, are you serious? I mean,
I can turn around and tell you five different ways to protect this man.
Yeah. I mean, I'm just a little level sergeant, but I'm like,
I can tell you. So, do you let me ask you a
question. Do you think it was so inept that in your mind? Do
you think that maybe there it was intentional because some people are saying that it
might have been intentional, and I don't know, I don't know. No,
no, sir, this is intentional because I mean, me and my
brothers and a few of my sisters, we're sitting there, we're talking,
We're like there's no way, there is no way you could have missed this
up. You had literally a dog on uh, mister Casey, you had
a literally a water tower three sixty right right right, yeah, yeah,
And that's a that's turning into its own conspiracy there. This is this is
a little a little private on that one. Begomber pile on that thing.
Man, they get it done. Yeah, no, it's it's it's so
bad. And and not refusing to take it seriously when you're getting reprimanded.
It just made it so much worse, uh, for for everybody, because
even if folks have no comprehension of how to set up a perimeter on something
like they if they've seen one movie in their minds, they probably would have
made better decisions than this and the high grounds number one man, absolutely no,
guys, In ten minutes, I can turn around and get you a
good three hundred and sixty degree permier. Right, yeah, this is uh,
this is great. Well, Jeremy, I appreciate you listening out there.
Man, I'm sorry that it almost made your head explode to sod yeah
my laughing all two doble moors. Yeah all right, cool, Thanks for
thanks for calling in the car all right, but that he's like, hey,
give me some dudes, we'll have this nailed down. I'm sitting there
and I'm just like, give me the job, and this, you know,
this garbage was like, Oh, we we don't want you out there
doing doing rallies anymore. That's not gonna fly. That ship has sailed.
That's his thing, right, And and you know, I understand why the
Secret Service doesn't want these things to happen, and I absolutely respect them and
making those advisements. And we got a little of that. There were other
there were former Secret Service guys, Dan Bongino being one of them, but
others that were just saying, look, it is the job of the Secret
Service to say, in a perfect world, this is how this thing would
look. And then it's also the job of the Secret Service to then adapt
to the way in which the candidate wants to do things. And sometimes the
candidate wants to on inauguration day, wants to walk down the middle of the
damn street waving at people, and as as Barack Obama did and to some
extent that Trump did, and then they have to go out and they have
to figure out, how do you deal with this? What is a logistical
nightmare, understandably, and and you don't have to be in the Secret Service
for this, but it's just vastly more important than most of our jobs because
of the consequences of failure. I can't tell you the number of times where
Ross and I inherently know how to do something and the company wants it done
in a different way, and is my you know, and we can crack
jokes and go this is dumb or or or whatever it is, but there's
probably a reason for it. Sometimes it's a you know, it's not in
my mind, it's not a great reason, but it's our job to sit
there and figure out how to do it. But the consequences are not as
dire as having either the president, former president or another protectee murdered because of
what it can mean. You saw a destabilizing on Wall Street. The incident
was for a couple of days. Now Wall Street's going to Wall Street and
and you know some of the speculation stuff that they do, it doesn't it's
it's almost like you have to understand how bad the reaction is going to be
so you can profit on the forbidden. Then people do start short and stuff
or whatever. It is, but you gotta go ahead. You gotta go
ahead and get the job done, just like our former caller there. I'm
sure that anyone who's been in the military at some point has received an order
and well they may not verbalize it, they're just like, well, this
is dumb. Well I got to do it this way. I gotta go
I gotta go storm that ridge. Well, you know, whatever it is,
and then you go ahead and do it, because if you flaunt the
rules sometimes you know, there's there's not much that happens except you know,
they're going to smoke you or whatever is the term smoke you, but basically
try to pet you to death. But but you do it. But because
at your job, seeing the issue is Trump's fall, you know, you
can't have these big rallies anymore. You need a smaller rally. Can you
do a rally in like a gym, high school Gymney's like a thousand people
or something a thousand No, what you do is you paint circles on the
ground that would be one person in there. Yeah, because then you could
spot the potential shooters because they would be standing in the circles. Yeah.
Yeah, you have explosives out there. I don't know, it's so do
whatever, but you know to uh, well, you can't have you doing
large scale events. That's about that's that was, That's how people run for
president. Man, it's not just Trump Trump. Just Trump embraces that as
his as his go to and I'm sure, I'm sure he loves it.
From an ego standpoint, it looks there's something pretty exciting about staring off over
into a crowd, and it's like, this is what rock stars feel,
right, They go up on a stage and I'm sure they get jaded on
it at some point, But you go up on a stage and you're playing
a stadium and you look out at you know, forty thousand people that have
stopped what they're doing, probably spent way more money than they should be spending,
and it showed up because they're so fascinated with what you're about to say
to them or sing to them or whatever it is. And I can only
it's radio. It's tougher to imagine because we don't see you all. But
when I see the number, we sit down with ours program director and go
over the numbers. That still hits, doesn't it? You know what I'm
saying? Ross it still hits because you're like, no way that many people
or that, Yeah, but you don't want to think about it. No,
no, it Especially people get nervous doing interviews, and it's because I
try to tell them like you're just talking to me and then ross and like
that's it, and you have to approach it like that. But when you
start actually looking at the numbers and you I can't I can't even tell you
how crazy those conversations have been lately. It puts it in perspective. So
the idea that somebody is wanting who's wanting the acceptance of millions, tens of
millions, hundreds of millions of people would be wanting to do that understandable.
We'll be back hang on, because there's there's newsletters or things like that that
speak to it. For for us in the radio biz, there's a couple
others inside radio and then all Access which are kind of like industry that you
would find it probably not that interesting, but I find it interesting. So
I actually get like the emails from them and they send it, here's about
one a day and it's news that's happening, and you know, I scan
it see if it's anyone I know who's got a new gig or got fired
or whatever. Then they have some rating stuff, but some of it's insulting.
Ready for this ross, you're sitting down. You're sitting down. What
you understand. This is a newsletter that goes out to people literally in talk
radio. July's red hot news cycle could spell big ratings boon for news talk
stations. You think you think, you think it might be a good month.
I'm not even to click on the article. Man, all right,
we'll see. We'll see how your prediction, which, by the way,
you're making on the twenty fourth day of July. We'll see if that comes
to pass. Man, all sorts of craziness. And yes, this is
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And I'm not an eight year old.
I don't care how adult you get. These are always good, so ros
and I eat a lot during the show, So got to keep your energy
up, man. Not everyone could be cocaine shark. So and it's just
this morning, I'm like, hey, you know what, you know,
it sounds good peanut butter and jelly sandwich, so boom, I made me
one and eat it during the show. You know what, appreciate it.
Probably is Bryce Young. I'm sure he had one in his Joe Namath lunchbox,
which I'm assuming was in that backpack. Do you see do you see
the photo of him showing up to training camp and he looks like he looks
like a seventh grader? Is the jokes people are making? So, I
mean, he throws a football better than me, but so there's that.
But yeah, he's got to baggy T shirt on shorts. It looks like
your kid going to the first day of middle school. Man, But you
know, some people are making jokes. Whatever. I don't think that he
cares. But is it worse than what Cam Newton used to show up in
that that guy was I swear I was dressed as a ballerina one day.
I can't remember the exact composition of the of the outfit, but he had
a style all his own. So, and you know, frankly, if
you're a Panthers fan, and and that's the that's the biggest defensive thing about
Bryce Young this year, that'd be good, right. See, if he
comes into it, you're two, it's all trial by fire for if you're
the Panthers quarterback. I get that, but arguably when you know he was
in the Anthony Richardson and CJ. What's the Texans guy whatever? You know,
those are the three, like, let's see how they are, and
arguably he is lagging behind the other two, but he also has a lot
less weapons. So yeah, I'm glad that. I'm glad we're getting some
football discussion in. We're gonna have preseason here real quick, right, and
then boom, we're gonna be into this thing. It's kind of crazy,
man, because it feels like just yesterday we were watching yet again the Super
Bowl, but it's been months and months, so all right, so we
got that around the corner. That will I'm sorry, I'm just looking at
this picture again. He's straight. He's got to have a trapper keeper in
that backpack, if I'm if I'm guessing, and I you know, that
is basically what I'm doing, all right, So let me let me flip
back over to my stack. Here we get a few things we got to
get in. I love watching Keith Oberman flipping out over the Trump fist gestures
because he's so over the top. So if you remember I told you earlier
this week because you saw it at the British Open Friday after the show.
I saw it right after the show Friday, where you had a couple of
golfers that were given like the Trump solidarity fist, which is a thing,
but Major League Baseball's taking it to a whole new level. And the Cardinals
players were the ones that were all the photos were floating around, and now
Keith Oberman wants to essentially nuke the city of Saint Louis. It's great attention,
Major League Baseball. These players need to be banned for life from the
game. And in fact, you should consider confiscating the Cardinals franchise and imploding
the stadium. The Cardinals should change their name to the Trump Nazis, stick
to sports f the Cardinals. That's right. The amount of people making the
shut up and dribble argument is amazing. The irony of that coming from Keith
Olberman. Stick this sports Yes, the guy that used to be in Sports
Center and was really good at it. Yes, and it was at a
lunatic and it was like musty TV for kids before school in the nineties,
and it's just when he just was it was sports Oberman, Yes, right,
him and Dan Dan Patrick. And then he did not just stick to
sports. And now he looks like Rosie O'Donnell and and he can't get he
can't get what that's now, come on, didn't have you seen fair?
But when you see him side by side, you're like, they look very
similar now. And Stephen King, how come they all look like that?
Now? What it was? My favorite Stephen King meme is what was it
when you're lesbian aunt owns a bookstore or whatever? Right that picture? Yeah,
they all kind of like they all kind of morph into themselves. And
Garofolo went there too, like why how is it? How is it if
it's like it's borgish at that point? Man? Well, yeah, I
mean that's the whole thing, right, it's collective. It is a collective.
I'll give you that government collective. Yeah, they all become very similar.
The difference is when you want the manager of the Yankees fired into the
sun. You don't want him actually physically fired into the sun. Oh r,
No, I do. And Biden has a power now because of the
skotis to fire him into the sun. Yeah. If it's an official if
it is an official business official thing, Biden can write send Aaron Boom into
the sun. He can launch him into a spaceship and write in the sun.
Well, Elon Musk probably could, Dude. That Elon Musk interview was
pretty eye opening. Did you know about Elon Musk kid? I had no
idea. I had no idea. If you guys didn't hear the Elon Musk
I think there's a It provides a lot of context to what baby motivating.
Uh, some of the decisions to you know, decision to purchase Twitter and
you know, this protector of free speech. Because there's a lot going on
here. Let me let me, let me do this because we didn't get
to these cuts yesterday. I just want to play a couple of these things.
And one thing you got to know, Elon Musk has a bunch of
kids. He likes making babies. But he's also one of these like we're
depopularizing ourselves kind of dude. So it's not surprising. And I didn't realize
this about one of his oldest kids. But here we are come into one
of my older boys. I was essentially tricked into signing documents, uh for
one of my older boys. Zare Uh. This is before I had really
understanding what was going on and that we had Coke COVID going on, and
so there was a lot of confusion, and you know, I was told,
oh, you know, say I might commit suicide. If that was
that was a lie right from the outset. No, obviously that's Jordan Peterson's
voice. He's he's doing the interview, so just just a little context,
you kind of hear it. So he's talking about how they came to him,
and they I'm assuming is probably his ex is that one with the singer,
that kid with the singer, I don't remember right, but they said,
look, your son, if you don't sign these documents, we can't
do the medical treatment necessary to keep your kid from killing themselves. Which you
know, the emotion of that for a parent, that's that's that's wild.
And so he signed him. He signed him, and he says he's not
there's not been a day that's gone by. He hasn't regretted it. Because
here's here's what actually that was about. Reliable clinician ever believed that there was
never any evidence for that. And also, if if there's a higher suicide
rate, the reason is is because of the underlying depression and anxiety and not
because of the gender dysphoria, and every damn clinician knows that too, and
they're too cowardly to come out and say it, right, and so that
and then we end up in exactly when when I saw that lies start to
propagate, it just made the hair on the back of my next stand up.
It's like, I see, so you're you're telling parents that unless they
agree to this radical transformation that their children are going to die. And you
think that's moral, and you think that's true. That is so pathological that
it's almost incomprehensible. I can't imagine anything worse of I can't imagine the therapist
doing anything worse than that, or sitting by idly and remaining silent. Well
his colleagues are doing it. It's pathetic, it's it's uh incredibly evil.
And I agree with you that people that have been promoting with us are go
to president all right, so obviously he wants harsh circumstances. Here's the really
emotional part, though, and this is this is what this is why it's
one thing to argue this from the outside and another thing entirely when you're approaching
it internally with your own family members, because the thoughts that cross into your
mind are thoughts that I would assume I'm not a parent, but I would
assume you would never want to have this thought about your kid. It wasn't
explained to me that pubity blocks are actually just sterilization drugs. I lost my
son essentially, so you know they they're quote dead naming for a reason.
Yeah, all right, So the reason that's quote dead naming is because your
son is dead. So my son is Avior is dead, killed by the
woke mind virus. All right, so let's go about to destroy the woke
mind virus after that. See that's the that's the flex part too. Even
with all of his resources, all of his money, he's still he still
fell victim to it in his mind. And then he went, oh,
yeah, that's right. I have all the money, and unlike a lot
of parents where you see these very sad stories where it's just they they're never
in contact with their with with their with their son or daughter or whatever,
he decided that this was going to be his motivation. It's a crazy it's
a long interview, but it's a crazy interview, man, all right,
raced agic here. It won't be as long the weather forecast because we're running
round a little late, but I we'll still get it in. So what's
happening. Yeah, well, we're staying in the same type of air mass,
the showers thunderstorms mainly confined to the afternoon hours a though this morning some
spotty light rain in the area, a lot of clouds in the next few
days and maybe some heavier rain. Thus a flood watch has been issued for
most of the area. So it heads up this afternoon and into the evening.
Same thing tomorrow, maybe even on Friday. May get into the little
mid eighties today, maybe close to ninety in some spots, but now they
added cloud covering the rain chances how to keep temperatures down anywhay him, he's
still way up. There could be less rain around by the upcoming weekend.
Chances at least percentage wise, look like they're going to go down. But
kind of in it here casey. For the next few days, a lot
of the rain will be con fined to the afternoon and evening hours, but
some of the mornings may see some light rain and showers too, So a
little unsettled. We'll be continuing over the next few days. Okay, thank
you sir, appreciate it, and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang
on well, good morning. Casey stocks pulled back just a little bit yesterday,
but investors seem to be in a funk this morning. The earnings reporting
season is revving up. Results from Tesla, the luxury goods Company LVMH,
and Deutsche Bank raising concerns about the health of global business. Alphabet's numbers failed
to impress. Right now, the futures are lower across the board. S
and P futures are down fifty four points, Nasdaq futures are down three hundred
seven points, and the Now futures are down one hundred eighty five. We
have unwelcome news for coffee hounds, hoping coffee prices would top out soon more
increases. You're likely the prices of high end Arabica beans and the more budget
friendly Robusta variety both climbing. There have been serious supply disruptions from Vietnam to
Brazil. Zill sellers have been raising prices and scrapping discounts. Delta Airlines slow
recovery from last week's computer meltdown being investigated by the federal government, but Delta
says this morning that delays will be at a minimum today it expects normal operations
to resume tomorrow, and Casey, it's called the mortgage lock. In effect,
homeowners with three percent mortgages unwilling to take on new home loans with interest
rates of around seven percent. It's keeping a lot of Americans in place,
keeping a lot of existing homes off the market. Bankrate says things are not
likely to change anytime soon. It did a poll. Nearly half of the
homeowner's surveyed said they would not be comfortable buying a new home until mortgage rates
drop below five percent. Casey, Okay, yeah, yeah, that's that's
the thing we talked about here recently. So thank you very much, Jeff,
do appreciate it. Okay, have a good day. All right?
Ross, Are you excited for Friday? You pumped? You ready to go?
You have the peacock cap? What's Friday? The Olympics kick off?
Oh? Does it? Yeah? Apparently apparently if you got the peacock cap,
they're gonna go bonkers on there with all the different stuff you can watch.
There is some funny stuff happening and some also kind of crazy stuff.
One I guess the teams are showing up and like the Olympic people are losing
their minds because the first thing they're going in and doing is like redecorating the
super green villages. Portugal literally had a crew come in remove all the stupid
cardboard beds, which I've also seen some videos posted a social media where some
of the athletes literally are posting that they did hook up on the beds.
You are able to do it. These are the beds they put in that
they said were sex proof because they didn't want that happening in the Yeah village.
Some of the skateboarders who are husband and wife were both competing for I
think Portugal. Actually they post did some not so subtle posts of like one
of the beds all messed up, like Nope, no you can't, it's
so dumb. You've seen what the gymnasts can do, right, I mean,
yes, yeah, absolutely right, you got you got a collective of
young, super fit people with time to kill. It's it's inevitable. But
they also went in and they removed all the beds and I didn't realize this,
So the beds were then they're they're literally made of cardboard, and then
the pillows were going to be donated to schools, after which I don't know.
It's just kind of weird. Do you want secondhand pillows? I don't
feel like I want secondhand pillows, but whatever. And more and more contingents
are going in and just changing the village because they say that it's not this
is not what the top tier athletes need to be living in, and so
they're bringing in other mattresses, ac units, you name it. Uh.
And they just arrested a chef for a plot to stabilized the Olympics. He's
Russian. The Russians are banned kind of as a team, they're banned,
although individual athletes can participate, but not where Russian flag are I guess,
And so they've just Russias apparently decided to strew with the Olympics. The man
was using AI and social media. They believe it's at the behest of the
Kremlin, but I don't know that they can prove it. In one incident,
he used AI to create a fake movie called The Olympics Has Fallen,
which obviously is a play on that movie Olympus Has Fallen, the big action
flick, and in the movie it stars Tom Cruise, except it's not real,
so it's just wild what they're able to go ahead and do with this
stuff. Man
