WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.839
Welcome. It is Tuesday, and
uh, the the the insanity that is

2
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:12.839
this week is it's not going anywhere. We're gonna, We're gonna, We're

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.760
gonna keep doing this just uh,
I like I tweeted over the weekend,

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:23.559
it's just it's news via fire hose. Try to drink man, And yesterday

5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:32.119
was no different. Obviously you had
continued unfolding of what transpired Saturday in Pennsylvania.

6
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:39.600
Butler, Pa, you have a
steady stream of stories where you know,

7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.840
nowadays you just you gotta do your
you gotta put in the work man,

8
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.200
You gotta do your due diligence.
You gotta look at stuff. It

9
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.479
goes that true? Is that not
true? There's you know, there's there's

10
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.520
like stories from random Twitter accounts.
Oh, Donald Trump came by with his

11
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:58.880
ear bandaged and I made this perfectly
time pun right. What's true? Finding

12
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:04.560
out more about the the shooter and
the background and the motivation or the lack

13
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:10.120
of motivation, the lack of normal
things that a twenty year old has,

14
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.519
and then you just try to verify
it to the best of your ability.

15
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.599
The RNC is going on. Amber
Rose spoke. If you don't know what

16
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.400
an amber Rose is you should check
that out, but you should do it

17
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:33.239
with the safe search on. I'm
reading that a fifty cent. Yes,

18
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.280
I've said it like that is like
trying to get a concert permit for the

19
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.680
rn C. And here comes Trump
with his bandage to your man, Lee

20
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.319
Greenwood blasted in the background, his
own damn son tear it up, the

21
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.400
very same son who just obliterated an
MSNBC reporter who thought, hey, you

22
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.719
know what, why don't I go
up and ask his sons about caged kids.

23
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:05.959
That'll be fun. CNN panels sitting
there and going but Trump, but

24
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:12.719
Trump, when their own standard for
language is pointed out that it may have

25
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:17.400
been utilized by the current president.
I gotta I gotta watch with their with

26
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:23.000
the exception of their one token Republican
who will last like six months before he

27
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.520
figures out all his coworkers hate him
and then they have to go get a

28
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.879
new one. Sitting there getting yelled
at by Van Jones. So for you

29
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.879
know, for all the normal stuff, there's so much abnormal stuff, and

30
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.919
then we get a VP pick on
top of it, and a bunch of

31
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:50.800
the really really really hardcore like isolationist
Republicans are not happy so you have a

32
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:58.599
little bit of internal fighting there just
wild just try and just try and keep

33
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.280
up with all of it, and
then you know, we get that,

34
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.599
we get the boogeyman's in there.
And I think sometimes people are are mentally

35
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:13.960
like they're they're like trained to reject
some of that stuff because there is so

36
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.280
much conspiratorial stuff out there. And
don't get me wrong, I love me

37
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:23.719
some conspiratorial stuff. But every now
and then you just gotta you get to

38
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.599
kind of all right, there'll be
time for that later. Let me try

39
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.960
to, uh, let me try
to figure out what's going on through the

40
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:35.000
filter of what I can actually prove. And then it turns out the conspiratorial

41
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.960
stuff is true, not all of
it, not the not the heart thing

42
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.599
and all that. I mean,
maybe I don't know, but but like

43
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.080
the Blackrock stuff, how many of
you heard the Blackrock stuff, which is,

44
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.840
you know, Blackrock is the Koch
Brothers is, the Soros is the

45
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.680
you know, the the one word
thing that's meant to strike fear because of

46
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:04.560
their manipulation of politics and life and
everything else. They don't get me wrong,

47
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.000
They're absolutely one hundred percent doing it. When you're sitting on that kind

48
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.319
of money, and you have that
kind of influence that you can, among

49
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:23.639
other things, force companies into this
weird DEI score thing, so they that

50
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.120
they go out they do things they
wouldn't normally do because if they don't have

51
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.079
a good enough score, they can't
use they can't get access to like flex

52
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.199
capital, which is the lifeblood of
a lot of businesses. If you're a

53
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:43.639
business that has big ups and downs
in your revenue, and that's a lot

54
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.800
of businesses, and it doesn't make
them unhealthy businesses or bad businesses, it

55
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:53.560
makes them seasonal. Well, they
work, don't stop during the non season,

56
00:04:53.600 --> 00:05:00.160
and you need access to floating capital. You'd be surprised which companies essentially

57
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:09.279
or cash poor all the time and
avail themselves of funds to operate during the

58
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:14.240
down months and then when you know, when it's high cotton, then they're

59
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:19.160
paying off those and maybe doing some
shareholder stuff and rids and repeat, will

60
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.879
do it in another year. So
the idea that you know, big big,

61
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.360
these big equity firms have created a
scenario that if you don't dance to

62
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.439
their tune, you wouldn't be eligible
forces the hand of companies to go out

63
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.680
and do things like, how we
see how many DEI points can we get

64
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:41.680
for this these training seminars telling everyone
that they're bad inherently because of the color

65
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.199
of their skin, which is literally
the thing that I thought we were working

66
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.160
against. Oh we get six points, sign me up. So yeah.

67
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:58.279
People then assign boogeyman motives to companies
like that. So when I'm sitting there

68
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.720
and I'm hearing that the shooter was
in an ad for Blackrock, that sounds

69
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.360
it. That sounds nuts, doesn't
it, Like, come on, man,

70
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:14.040
make up something that's believable. Well, yeah, I wish it was

71
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.519
nuts. I wish the whole thing
was crazy, because, uh you know

72
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:24.600
what, Yeah, thank you,
crazy lady doing whatever that is in her

73
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:30.160
chair. We love playing the drop
from him. Thank you. She understands,

74
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.839
she gets it. Earn her mom, crazy mom. If you don't

75
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.120
know what that drop is. That
is still one of my favorite psychotic Moonbat

76
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.800
videos ever. And it's this mother
and daughter sitting in like chairs in their

77
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.839
yard in Florida, doing like New
age yoga, talking about how it'd just

78
00:06:50.839 --> 00:07:00.199
be great if we greased everybody,
but like maybe a billion people, just

79
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.759
like super hippie dippy mom daughter and
the whole time they're doing like sitting yoga.

80
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:10.199
I don't even know how to describe
it, but you know, it's

81
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.759
like, oh, it's so great. It's so peaceful. I feel so

82
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.879
zen out here. You know,
it'd be great if six billion people were

83
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:23.399
eliminated, right My mom, Mom's
like, yeah, you know, we

84
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.480
should do is this thing? And
the daughter's like, yeah, yeah,

85
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:36.800
that is true. She works with
horses, oldies. But good man,

86
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:45.120
it's just the nostalgia of some of
this stuff. But no, if you

87
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.800
go back and you look at a
Black Rock commercial which the company is now

88
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:55.560
pulled, that was actively running.
Now, the ad wasn't about him,

89
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.079
who was a student at the time
it was filmed. The ad featured a

90
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.519
teacher from Bethel High School. So
they did one of those things like we're

91
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.279
Black Rocket, even though we're corporate
monsters. Let's here's a bunch of feel

92
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.600
good things that we're investing in.
Here's some teachers in the public school.

93
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.120
Look at that guy. Look at
that he's writing stuff on the board.

94
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.959
Look at his students. They're paying
attention. And one of the students in

95
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:30.560
the shot is front and center.
Is the is the shooter? Man?

96
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.600
I mean, it's a happy coincidence
there or unhappy I guess. I look

97
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.440
at it, but that's wild.
And he's also the only twenty year old

98
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:48.799
apparently without social media of any sort. I loathe social media. I want

99
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.240
nothing to do with it. I
don't have a choice. But I went

100
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.600
to my program director and said,
hey, I'm not doing We're not doing

101
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.080
any more social media. I feel
like they would be an issue because we

102
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.240
utilize it now. Granted that's in
a business setting. It's but how are

103
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:13.960
you a twenty year old? Admittedly, I guess I don't understand John Alpha

104
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:20.799
whatever whatever that is, Like,
how do you function without any social media?

105
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.519
That's wild to me, especially if
you're somebody who's got some thoughts on

106
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.519
some stuff. Then you have the
then you have like the Inauguration Day Act

107
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:41.559
blue Joe Biden donation coupled with a
very recent Republican voting registration, And I

108
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.240
understand why people are like, I
have some I have some theories. I

109
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.320
have some thoughts and some theories because
what are you supposed to make of all

110
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:54.000
of that? Of course, of
course people are going to go there.

111
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.759
Do you blame them? Because everything's
that's everything, every bit of that sounds

112
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.759
so weird and so unusual and so
not with you. What you would if

113
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.440
you just grab a random twenty year
old right now and look for their their

114
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:15.960
their footprint online. I don't know, as you find one that clear,

115
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.000
and sometimes it's you have a footprint, and it isn't the big ones.

116
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.320
It isn't because you have a Twitter
or an Instagram or something, but rather

117
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:31.279
because you have you know, you
play online video games and you have an

118
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.720
account, or you have you have
one through how many accounts do you think

119
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.799
you have floating around out there?
Things you've signed up for, you've provided

120
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.639
some semblance of private information. It's
I don't know that you could calculate that

121
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.759
for most people. And that's what's
terrifying, because you get a breach and

122
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.399
something could be breached with your info
that you don't even remember you have.

123
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.879
And I don't have any of it
on this dude and he's in a black

124
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:07.879
Rock commercial. I understand why people
are freaking out. And it would probably

125
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.480
it would probably pay big dividends not
to hold all of the details of the

126
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.039
investigation so close to your chest would
be my recommendation. You have questions about

127
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:26.759
secret Service, You have questions about
the agents that were assigned to to UH

128
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.600
to Trump, which I don't know
is necessarily fair if you look at it

129
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.960
in totality, it's fair. But
you know, the people who are the

130
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:45.039
who are the body people for Trump. It sounds like the Trump family and

131
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.720
I've I've heard interviews and you know, the the sons were talking about this

132
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:58.120
yesterday. They seem to have great
affection and affinity for them. But that

133
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:03.919
doesn't negate the pack what they're calling. And I think it's accurate. The

134
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.399
PAC band perimeter. I don't know
if you've seen the graphic. It's a

135
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.279
circle, right, it's a it's
a circle around the stage where Trump is

136
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.440
speaking, but there's a carve out
and it looks like it looks like a

137
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.480
piece of pizza removed from a pizza, right, And in that carve out

138
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.519
sits this building. And so the
result, and I know you could visualize

139
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.600
it, it looks like a PAC
man that was outside the security perimeter.

140
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.720
That that isn't necessarily nefarious. These
things are almost never a perfect circle.

141
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.759
But it dips in there, it
almost dips in closer to the stage than

142
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:52.240
the Overwatch Secret Service stipers were.
And then you have this you have reporting

143
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:01.720
that it may not have been three
minutes or four minutes from the time that

144
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:09.320
law enforcement was made aware of this
individual up on this rooftop. There's video

145
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:15.399
where you hear people talk about it, and you see him repositioning himself.

146
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.840
He stands up from a prone position, moves or shimmys or does something you

147
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.480
can't tell exactly what he's doing,
and then lays back down ready to fire

148
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.559
off those shots. Local news is
reporting that there may have been an indicator

149
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:39.919
of thirty minutes or a time span
of thirty minutes where he may have been

150
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:48.120
noticed. Now, the timeline from
when it was noticed to when law enforcement

151
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.559
was made aware, there's a lot
hinging on that. Who was told,

152
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.159
how did they choose to deal with
it. I saw some people speculating that

153
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:01.519
the sniper actually laid one of the
secrets of snipers, may have laid eyes

154
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:11.120
on on this dude, and if
it, I don't know what the thought

155
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.759
did they think? Maybe somebody just
climbed up there to see Trump. Possibly,

156
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.840
But again, he's out in the
open, he's on a roof,

157
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.559
so he's elevated, so if you're
standing in the parking lot, you can't

158
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.519
see what is in his hands,
but feasibly those overwatched snipers would have had

159
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:35.960
line of sight. They're actually they're
actually at a slightly higher elevation. So

160
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:46.759
people are going to be conspiratorial because
everything sounds insane. Everything sounds like something

161
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.799
where you go that doesn't comport with
my understanding of how this works. This

162
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:58.120
is why I spend so much time
on the distance yesterday. It's really hard

163
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.759
to wrap your head around that.
With every every thought and every piece of

164
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.240
entertainment, which shouldn't instruct your entire
worldview, but for everything Hollywood gets wrong,

165
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.679
there's a lot of stuff that's probably
it's pretty close. We've all been

166
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.960
there where we've seen a movie that
deals with subject matter that we know a

167
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:24.240
lot about. Being a radio guy, watching people being on the radio in

168
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.720
pop culture and movies or TV is
maddening. Sometimes I can't tell you the

169
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.120
number of times I've seen a radio
DJ in a booth and I can see

170
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.840
the board and it's clear that they
do not have the pot open, right,

171
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.679
they don't have the bike pot on. Anyway, we got a lot

172
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.919
to get to tell you that,
I just look at it. I'm just

173
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:52.159
I'm running my mouth because there's so
much there's so much happening that we have

174
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.240
to try to figure out, and
there's all of these oddities. So yes,

175
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.840
people are going to speculate, which
is why you need to have a

176
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.279
group of adults in the room,
right, and you need to have them

177
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:11.559
be consistent and trustworthy so that people
have confidence that even when things feel word

178
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:17.360
feel weird, they're gonna get answers. All right, hang on, welcome

179
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:22.480
back. It is six thirty five
here on your Tuesday morning. Glad to

180
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:27.440
have you along, Casey with you. Ross will be back tomorrow. This

181
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:36.159
was there's a trip. He had
his death in his wife's family, so

182
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:41.200
they made the made the road trip
to Tennessee over the weekend. So he'll

183
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.039
be returning tomorrow. But just you
know what's up. We didn't fire him

184
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.919
and launch him into the sun or
anything, so just you know, deal

185
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:57.679
with normal life stuff. But what
a what a week to miss a few

186
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:04.839
days on cow. There was a
brief moment too where when when I found

187
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.839
out he was gonna have to be
gone for a couple of days, just

188
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.440
because I have extra vacation days floating
around, like I consider taking Monday and

189
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.240
Tuesday off that obviously would have not
come to pass, because how the hell

190
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.079
do you not talk about everything that's
going on. You can't. But if

191
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:22.640
we are going to do it,
and you know what this is, this

192
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:30.039
is this is my my oversight usually, you know, usually we're a team.

193
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.640
So if I miss something to Ross
is like, hey, here's this

194
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:34.920
thing, or if he does,
I'm like, hey, what about that

195
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:41.880
thing? And I think with everything
going on, the attempted assassination of Trump,

196
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:47.440
the fact that the RNC is happening, we got legal stuff we got

197
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.599
to get into. A VP has
been announced, which I'm curious your thoughts

198
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.279
on that. We'll get into that
just a few minutes. You know,

199
00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:00.319
frankly, the responsible thing to do
is maybe probably should have got through show

200
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.000
going with the little show of patriotism, you know, just put everyone in

201
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.720
the spirit and the mood of what's
going on. And it doesn't mean you

202
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:14.000
have to be a fan of what
the Republicans are selling right now. But

203
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:15.359
I think there's a lot of people
going, you know what, I don't

204
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.839
like the guy, but no,
you don't get to shoot at somebody.

205
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.440
That's the right attitude to have.
That's good. So with that in mind,

206
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.839
if I could for just a moment. Maybe. I know it irritates

207
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:34.799
some people and is probably triggering to
college students at Columbia, but maybe we

208
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.000
just maybe we just opened this like
we used to open school when I was

209
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:47.599
a kid. Shall we, oh
say, can you see by the dos?

210
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:57.359
Like? All right? What's so
proudly? Okay? Tyl? Like

211
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:07.759
last all right? Hoots broad shape, sound bad shot? That's the flag

212
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:18.920
to the pairs? Fire, oh
the rest? But we watch We're so

213
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:33.799
gass what mcket reread those bombs burst? I wish there was some cover this

214
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:51.200
up to the night that a flag
was said to scare the enemy working say

215
00:19:52.000 --> 00:20:23.920
Dotto, Spain, bok bed Way. Oh the lame of the what?

216
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:33.839
And how can we keep doing this? Where are the normal singers? Where

217
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:40.279
are the I look, is any
is anything where everything going to be Whitney

218
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.759
Houston again? No, and it
doesn't have to be, but it can't

219
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:52.519
keep being Roseanne or Fergie or I
could look, there's a list, and

220
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.559
there's so many lists floating around now, so I have to admit I'm not

221
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.880
And that's a country singer too.
I'm just to point this out. That's

222
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:07.799
a country singer. If you're a
country singer. I don't. Maybe it's

223
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.279
unfair. You need to. I
have a higher expectation that you're gonna you're

224
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:18.359
gonna do a good job. And
I and people are like, well,

225
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:23.759
look, you couldn't go out there
and do it. Yes, you're right.

226
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:33.279
And if somebody asked me to sing
the national anthem somewhere, I would

227
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.240
refuse, not because I have anything
against the national anthem, especially ahead of

228
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:45.480
a baseball game. I guess the
home run derby, it's baseball bad.

229
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.720
She couldn't she couldn't get more.
It could get more American if she was

230
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.920
literally eating an apple pie, right, Maybe that's what happened in her throatcut

231
00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:00.559
all sticky. I don't know.
But that's an eight time Grammy nominee.

232
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:06.119
That's not the that's not the singer
from the local high school who's gonna be

233
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:11.079
nervous as hell because it's never been
in front of that many people. That's

234
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:18.400
egred Ingrid Andres, who I'm admittedly
I'm not super familiar with. And then

235
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.480
they're doing the thing where they're going
down the line or they have all the

236
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.119
participants standing there and like they're laughing
the dude for the Phillies. What's his

237
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.680
name, Alex baum Bomb. He's
like he's trying not to laugh. It's

238
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:41.200
it's clear. Look, I I'm
not doing this to be mean or necessarily

239
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.519
pick on her. But when that
becomes the story, you have to ask

240
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:49.240
yourself why it keeps becoming the story. And of all the weeks to butcher

241
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:55.440
that thing, this was the week
to get that right. This was the

242
00:22:55.480 --> 00:23:02.319
week for Major League Baseball to have
an opportunity to provide a moment of respite

243
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.039
for a for a weary for a
weary nation. I know that that making

244
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.279
it sound probably bigger than it is, but the opportunity should be there.

245
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.960
I want to go see him hit
dingers, to quote that fat kid who's

246
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:23.839
now a skinny kid who still hits
stingers. That's what you want. You

247
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.799
want, you want nostalgia. You
want you want to get away from it.

248
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:32.400
You want to not the whole time
you're watching it, realize you're watching

249
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.640
the last vestige of dudes who won't
make it into the hall because so much

250
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:42.559
juicing. But you still watch because
it's like like the coliseum, right nothing.

251
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.680
You know you're not watching good stuff, but you're watching things you can't

252
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.240
look away from and maybe get people, maybe get people fallen out of love

253
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:57.400
with baseball to try to, uh, you know, see what's what with

254
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:04.359
this event, and they're greeted with
that she's wildly out of tune. Even

255
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:11.720
somebody who's not a singer, I
can tell that. And I don't know

256
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.839
why this stuff happens and keeps happening, because you have when you go into

257
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.440
sing this thing, you have choices. Now she went she wanted to go

258
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:26.160
straight delivery good. I think that's
the smart choice for most singers. Or

259
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.359
you could try to make it your
own. And sometimes that works. And

260
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.599
when it works, it works,
man, it works beautifully. And when

261
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:41.440
it doesn't, you get some jackass
on the radio like me talking to you,

262
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.519
going what the hell was that?
And you send me email about you're

263
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:53.200
already up? Why are you doing
this to me? The whole thing,

264
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:59.440
dude, the whole the whole week
is just this is this is what we're

265
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:03.440
in for. Now we get to
get into a debate over an author slash

266
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:10.440
senator for about five minutes who might
very well be and probably will be the

267
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:17.480
next Vice President of the United States, and a lot of internal debate within

268
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:22.400
Republican circles, and of course immediately
here we go with the hit squad.

269
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.640
You always gotta run with the racist
president who doesn't want immigration and his wife

270
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:36.319
is Indian. Well, no,
his wife's not Indian. His wife's Indian

271
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.759
America. She's from San Diego.
She's a doctor. I think too.

272
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.279
They got a bunch of kids.
They look fine together, they look happy.

273
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:52.039
What is your problem? Are we
going we're gonna flip into the identity

274
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.960
politics right away? I guess we
are. So I want to approach it,

275
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:03.359
perhaps, maybe just possibly from a
more traditional manner. I know we

276
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.319
didn't get that with the national anthem
there, and I'm sorry to do that

277
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.440
to you this early in the morning. But if I had to suffer,

278
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:18.279
so did you. But let's talk
about JD. Vans, Trump's pick for

279
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.720
vice president, a few other names
floating around out there. You had young

280
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:27.359
Kin who a lot of people start
talking about over the last few days.

281
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:33.759
The North Dakota governor, Burgham Marco
Rubio was in that mix, Tim Scott

282
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.480
perhaps, although it sounded like they
had eliminated Tim Scott maybe a couple of

283
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:45.920
weeks ago. Do you like the
pick or are you like a lot of

284
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:48.559
people where you go, yeah,
what does it matter? I find it

285
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:56.279
rich the criticism about how his only
experience at the national level is serving a

286
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:04.000
part of a Senate of a six
year Senate term, because I love this

287
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.079
standard now that if you have only
served at the federal level a part of

288
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.440
a six year Senate term, you're
unqualified for the second highest job in the

289
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:18.559
land, but somehow you're qualified for
the highest because if you remember, Barack

290
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:26.000
Obama didn't serve his full term.
Would you wanted to see somebody else?

291
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.400
Do you think it matters? And
if you have some thoughts, we'll hear

292
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:33.559
from you. Eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four Should they

293
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.880
be able to seek in the national
anthem? Whoever it is? These are

294
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:45.720
the important questions. Thank you,
Thank you, sir. You forgot to

295
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.920
mention she's easy on the eyes.
You know what, you just did it

296
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.559
for us. Thank you for your
email this morning. Appreciate that. All

297
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.799
right, six forty six hang on
radio program. So we've got a few

298
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:08.759
topics floating around out there. Obviously, of course we have all things assassination

299
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:17.799
attempts related, the amount of stuff
that we keep finding finding out from let's

300
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:19.759
see here New York Post has a
piece I'm gonna touch on. And also

301
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:33.279
WPXI is a local Pittsburgh outlet TV
outlet there who's reporting yesterday now puts the

302
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:41.839
timeline from when a law enforcement individual
of some sort was aware that this dude

303
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:48.799
was on the rope at twenty six
minutes twenty six minutes from the time that

304
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:56.480
a police officer from the Beaver County
Emergency Services Unit took a photo of him.

305
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:03.319
They weren't just aware, they had
visual confirmation there was somebody on the

306
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.640
roof. They didn't seem to necessarily
be aware of the motive or that he

307
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:15.319
was necessarily armed, and very well
could have been confused by the way he

308
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.559
was dressed. And the way he
was dressed is not all that different from

309
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:30.559
a way that a law enforcement officer
may dress to be casual out of uniform.

310
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.599
Right, you got this shirt and
on the shirt, if you look

311
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.880
at the shoulder of this leave of
the shirt, you see an American flag.

312
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:44.240
Obviously it's in the military position,
which I guess if you don't know

313
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:47.160
this, if you ever look at
a flag on a military uniform, it

314
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.559
looks like it's backwards. Do you
know why that is? So? The

315
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:53.640
reason well, I know most of
you do, but for those of you

316
00:29:53.680 --> 00:30:00.359
who don't, the reason that the
flag appears backwards is because that soldier is

317
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.680
running to the fight. So think
of what a flag would look like you're

318
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.079
holding if you are holding the flag
while running at something. So that's why

319
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:17.000
they appear in that direction. And
so when you see that, you see

320
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.799
it on a T shirt and you
can't really see the words or the T

321
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:26.960
shirt has some tactical logoing on it. It looks like the kind of stuff

322
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:32.440
that an officer might buy, or
somebody in law enforcement or military might buy

323
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:38.319
or having their collection. It's just
a casual shirt. The pants look like

324
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:42.480
what could have been tactical pants.
There's a couple companies that I'm sure most

325
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:49.079
of you're familiar with, and you
know, I don't know if you didn't

326
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.599
know, and you just knew that
there's nine different agencies or whatever it was

327
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.480
around there, maybe for a moment
you thought it was that, or maybe

328
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.240
you just thought it was somebody who
wanted a better view. But it doesn't

329
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.960
matter. It's an outlier. It's
the thing you're taught to look for.

330
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.880
I physically attended a safety briefing ahead
of the when we covered all aspects of

331
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.680
the r n C. Now I'm
not priving the totality of the information,

332
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.960
but they had a public section where
the media was able to show up because

333
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:26.880
they had some They had some some
Antifa before Antifa was cool. Uh,

334
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:32.880
anarchists, self proclaimed anarchists who had
a bunch of big plans for the RNC

335
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.880
that year that McCain was nominated,
and in fact it culminated a couple of

336
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.319
days prior when they got They got
a U haul that was filled to the

337
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:49.279
brim with weapons, and not not
all traditional weapons. A lot of them

338
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:56.839
were fecal bombs, as horrible as
that sounds, you know, basically breakable

339
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:02.279
glass jars, uh, and other
other things that were actually pretty clever in

340
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.480
the way that they were designed that
these little anarchists had built so that they

341
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:14.279
could help police or delegates the Connectic
I remember the bus for the Connecticut delegation

342
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:21.680
got attacked by these these kids,
and it was it was still relatively warm.

343
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:23.680
They had the windows down on the
bus and they're being you know,

344
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.640
they're going through the various layers of
security to get fully inside the perimeter,

345
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:32.759
and they stopped at the outside one
and they ran up and they started basically

346
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:40.359
breaking these these horribleness bombs through the
through the open windows covering some of the

347
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:46.799
delegation. They literally had to after
that, no vehicle approaching security perimeter carrying

348
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:53.640
anybody dare had any windows down.
They had a collection of backpacks with things

349
00:32:53.720 --> 00:33:00.359
that looked, you know, could
look and smell like bad stuff, but

350
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:05.039
in reality weren't actually bombs, and
they would just randomly leave them against the

351
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.400
security fence. And they've got a
whole U haul full of this stuff that

352
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:12.359
they confiscated, and they had at
least another one to go because it didn't

353
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:19.799
it didn't negate any of it.
So the big roundabout point of saying this

354
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.039
is over the years, they have
refined their methods. Good morning, everybody.

355
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:32.160
It is the Cacoday radio program,
our number two, and it just

356
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:39.319
gets so much worse. So not
only not only do we find out that

357
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:49.799
a law enforcement individual twenty six minutes
prior to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump,

358
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.519
not that they just noticed this dude, right, but they noticed him

359
00:33:55.559 --> 00:34:06.119
doing really really suspicious stuff. And
not only was this building, this building

360
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.400
where he was able to shimmy up
used as the perch as the nest as

361
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:15.119
the hide, although I'm loath to
call it a hide because he didn't do

362
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:20.800
anything seemingly to conceal himself other than
get low to the ground, which was

363
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:27.719
that was more about trying to get
a good shot off. Not only was

364
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.760
his building used, this building was
also a staging area for a local sniper

365
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:37.280
team. In what capacity they were
working at that moment, I don't know.

366
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.239
I don't know if they had been
relieved, if they were a non

367
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:46.280
call situation, I don't know.
I don't know exactly that. But they

368
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:52.239
witnessed him doing some stuff. Now, they witnessed him on his phone.

369
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:58.039
Okay, all right, fair enough. But according to the reporting by the

370
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:04.960
local TV station at twenty six minutes
prior, one of the officers felt concerned

371
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:15.760
enough to snap a photo after he
witnessed him using a range finder. I

372
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:21.360
want to be I want to make
sure that there is no ambiguity by people

373
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.639
going, well, maybe they thought
he was using binoculars. No, they

374
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:30.000
wouldn't. And here's why it doesn't
look the same. Now, you can

375
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:36.639
use I get you can use a
rangefinder as a binocular, but why would

376
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:42.960
you if you're wanting binoculars it's not
what a rangefinder is for rangefinders for finding

377
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:45.800
range. The way you hold a
binocular. I want you to pretend you're

378
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.480
holding if you're driving, maybe don't
do this, but or just do it

379
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:53.239
real quick binoculars. Pretend like you're
holding monoculars. What are you doing?

380
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:57.880
You got both hands. Maybe you're
touching the tips of your thumbs right now

381
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.599
while you curve both of your hands
inwards. Now, I want you to

382
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:07.320
pretend you're holding a rangefinder. And
if you don't know what that looks like,

383
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.280
get rid of one of your hands
and then bring that same sea that

384
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.920
you're making with one of your hands
up to your eye. That's how you

385
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:21.840
hold a rangefinder. It looks different. And unless he's trying to figure out

386
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:31.559
his approach on number four or that's
literally his deer hunting spot, that should

387
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:36.960
that should be the reddest of red
flagspan. Also, it shows that he

388
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:43.480
was irresponsible in not doing a grid. You want to get technical here.

389
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:49.360
I know people for some reason are
very upset with me explaining stuff, but

390
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:53.079
I'm sick. I'm absolutely sick of
watching coverage of stuff like this being done

391
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:58.559
by people who won't take a moment
to attempt to understand how any of this

392
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.400
works. Do you know how many
stories I talk about where I don't have

393
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:07.239
any real functional understanding of what's going
on, and I go, I should

394
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:12.519
probably educate myself. And so part
of my prep process is to figure this

395
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:16.440
out. And so I'll go and
I'll source different things like I don't know

396
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:22.039
how the how, the the the
person being chosen for the national anth I

397
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:27.719
don't know how that works. And
frankly I should probably have some understanding,

398
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:31.280
because you know, we have this, you know this, this connection with

399
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:35.239
the music industry, working in the
in the business that I do. But

400
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:38.000
I don't know. But if I
ever wanted to know, I promised I

401
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:43.960
could find out so that I could
educate you on it. Just I don't

402
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:47.199
care. I just care that they
do it some other way because it's not

403
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:52.519
working man. Sorry. The national
anthem at the Hall of the Home Run

404
00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:00.880
Derby was was hot garbage yesterday.
But the people who are doing this,

405
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:05.719
the the looking here, they know
how this stuff works. They don't.

406
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:12.519
A rangefinder works. If you're ever
if you're ever setting up something where you're

407
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:17.079
gonna shoot for hunting, Okay,
do you ever, Let's say you got

408
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:22.920
you find yourself a nice field.
You're real excited. You found what looks

409
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.280
like egress for for critters, right, you found a deer trail. Maybe

410
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:34.679
you found a some raisinets. That's
code for feces. If you don't know

411
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.679
what deer feces looks like. And
it's still steaming, man, you're like,

412
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:44.599
this is a good it's gonna be
a good spot. Now you want

413
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:49.480
to figure out where you're gonna set
up, so you know, people uh

414
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.880
uh, most folks in that scenario, I think would probably would they would

415
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:54.519
want a tree. If you're gonna, you know, if you're gonna go

416
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:59.159
stand up in a stand, you
want a tree that gives you as much

417
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:04.360
of a visual field on the field
itself, because that likely will be where

418
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.679
your shot is taken. But also
you want one that allows you to monitor

419
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.400
these trails. So if you have
multiple trails, we'll see if two trails

420
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:16.920
coming in where the deer are obviously
using, maybe you don't even know which

421
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:22.199
one's more popular. Because you have
limited time to set up, maybe put

422
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:27.079
your butt in the middle there,
giving you a line of side on both

423
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.639
still providing you enough cover, maybe
even carve out a shooting lane if you

424
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:35.719
want, because it's not all that
unusual, especially if you're if you're after

425
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:39.280
a big buck, for them not
to enter the field or to enter and

426
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:45.840
exit the field. While it's not
legal, shooting light the big boys,

427
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:52.960
the big boys going nocturnal is a
thing. So that's going to be that

428
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:58.639
scenario. But the other scenario is
this, I'm going to go and I'm

429
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:04.320
going to mark a grid. So
if the field, let's say the field

430
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.960
has I don't know, it's got
a corral in the middle of it,

431
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:13.599
whatever, I'm going to well in
advance, before I ever get up in

432
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:19.119
that stand, I'm going to figure
out the distance to that corral, and

433
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:22.159
I'll just have a little sheet of
paper I could put it on, and

434
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.039
it's just to be a rudimentary little
here's the square, here's the trail,

435
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:30.039
and the numbers written next to certain
things. So I know that the from

436
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:36.119
me to that corral is eighty yards. I know me to that trail head

437
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:40.000
is fifty yards. That shooting lane
I just carved out, I know that

438
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:46.440
that's thirty yards. I've made these
indications so that when the moment comes in

439
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:51.519
the same way that you see caddies
walking around with golfers ahead of a PGA

440
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:55.960
event. I don't have to I
don't have to risk making the noise to

441
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.960
bring my range finder up if I'm
in a scenario where I think I might

442
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:08.239
get winded or noticed. And that's
the same way it works for people who

443
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:15.440
were in that building who understand this. So they witness him using a range

444
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:20.199
finder, one of the most suspicious
possible acts I could think of, short

445
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:24.960
of assembling his rifle in front of
him, and they go, yeah,

446
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.039
you know, maybe we should look
into that. He then leaves reportedly and

447
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:34.519
goes and gets a backpack. So
now they've got an opportunity to intercept him

448
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.079
and go, hey, what's up, dude, And if he wants to

449
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.679
go hey, what do you doing? Am I being detained right whatever,

450
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.679
You're still in a position to likely
prevent him from gaining access to that roof

451
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:52.280
again, because with the simple thought
that I don't think you're the owner,

452
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.440
do you have permission to be up
there? Who gave you permission? Let's

453
00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:00.760
go ahead and check your story.
And if it turns out that he's he's

454
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.000
a kid who knew the owner of
the building, and he didn't get a

455
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:07.119
ticket into the rally, but he
thought, hey, I know, this

456
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:09.519
could be a cool spot to watch
it. And he's just up there doing

457
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:14.360
his thing, and he's using it
as a as a as a device to

458
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:19.280
amplify his view. It all sounds
crazy, but at least you checked it

459
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:28.360
out. This is why people have
the conspiracies. This is why people look

460
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:30.000
at this and go, this is
none of this is right. And then

461
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:34.039
they start questioning, how, well, how did that all that Secret Service

462
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:37.119
person get their job? How did
the head of the Secret Service get in

463
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:39.880
there? Do you know who?
Do you know who pushed for the hiring

464
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:49.599
of this particular Secret Service director?
Joe Biden? Let the conspiracy run it

465
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:53.880
over? Does that necessarily mean anything? Now, not necessarily. You got

466
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:59.519
a position to fill, and especially
the higher profile ones. There's gonna be

467
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:01.800
a lot of trading and friends of
friends stuff. That's you know, that's

468
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:07.519
Washington man. You bundle, oh, you bundled a million dollars for the

469
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:09.480
president's campaign. What do you want
to you want to be the ambassador of

470
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:16.400
uh Germany? Here you go,
by the way, that's the actual origin

471
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:23.440
story for that ambassador or the ambassador
my favor is the ambassador of Uruguay.

472
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:30.800
That lady's absolutely backcraped, crazy looney
tunes man. She went down and tried

473
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:36.000
to start a whole incident as a
US ambassador, and they still kept her

474
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:42.480
in there because she's you know,
she's besties with the Bidens. If you

475
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.480
don't know that story. She basically
went she wanted. She tried to roll

476
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.880
into a really nice restaurant down there
in Montevideo or one of the big big

477
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:57.039
cities there, and and she is
dressed like a tourist and it's a fine

478
00:43:57.079 --> 00:44:01.559
dining establishment. She doesn't have a
reservation, and they're like, no,

479
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:05.360
no, that's not how any of
this works. No, And she's like,

480
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:13.840
ah, they profiled me and it's
racist, But you risk an international

481
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:19.000
incident. Now, what's our trade
footprint with a small South American country that

482
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:22.840
most people couldn't find on a map. I don't know. Probably not substantial,

483
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:29.440
but it shows you that these gigs
are not necessarily ones who are the

484
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:36.199
most qualified for it. The difference
is the ambassador to a small South American

485
00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:39.559
country that most people couldn't find on
a map and the director of the Secret

486
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:46.039
Service have vastly different responsibilities. Does
it mean she's unqualified? Not necessarily,

487
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:54.360
but It definitely calls into question with
everything that we've seen transpire. So they're

488
00:44:54.400 --> 00:45:00.800
out of excuses. Man, twenty
six minutes, no communication or they did

489
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:07.440
communicate and nobody cared. Photos taken
the most suspicious of acts possible witnessed.

490
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:10.519
And now we're having this conversation eight
eight, eight, nine, three four,

491
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:15.639
seven, eight seventy four. Is
that person even qualified for the job?

492
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:22.480
Man, what do you think of
the advance selection? Let me ask

493
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:27.519
you, that is it? Man? You don't care? At least they're

494
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:31.800
breathing. Did you want to see
a DeSantis in there? Because you know,

495
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:37.159
an argument, you know has to
be made for the fact that if

496
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:43.119
Trump is elected, this is it, right, he only gets one more.

497
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:51.159
So whoever is in that position almost
certainly will be or will likely be,

498
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:58.039
the Republican nominee for the next election. So here you got a guy

499
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:04.039
who's what he's gonna be thirty or
something for he is thirty. I understand

500
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.679
that, I yes, I understand
that there are binoculars that are range finding

501
00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:12.199
as well. It is clear from
the description they're using the one hand ones

502
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:24.000
the golfers use and shooters use.
Gotcha, I'm trying to Sometimes you have

503
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:30.000
to pick whether you're gonna overload people
with information. So if you know a

504
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:35.079
piece of information based on the description
that's given this report, I'm gonna go

505
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.960
for the the one that's gonna be
easiest to explain on the radio, Sir.

506
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.280
I get gun guys and hunting guys
because I am one. We get

507
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:49.840
real clenchy, because there's a lot
of nuance to it. So I have

508
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:55.599
to battle with how I'm explaining stuff
because I can't. I can't watch Maxine

509
00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:04.280
Waters talk about AR fifteen's the way
what a small car does. People who

510
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:13.400
will never understand semi automatic versus automatic. It's clear I have to I have

511
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:19.360
to balance against that stupidity, which
which holds an outside influence, right,

512
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:22.079
because those are generally the ones that
are on the you know, the more

513
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:31.119
mainstream outlets, talking about things that
they haven't even attempted to understand. But

514
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:36.480
yeah, so do you think,
like, could you see vance That would

515
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:37.559
be wild too, by the way, that you'd have so many in their

516
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:47.679
late thirties that potentially could ascend to
the office of president. But the expectation

517
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:52.360
is whoever this, whoever it is, in this case, it's probably gonna

518
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.719
be advanced. And I'm gonna probably
say Pence way too many times. You'll

519
00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:00.639
just forgive me in advance. These
are the things that you have to think

520
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:04.400
about. Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. Let's get

521
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:08.039
your calls coming up. Everyone's pretty
So my point stands I said thirty instead

522
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:14.440
of forty. My point is that
he's very young compared to well, I

523
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:19.920
mean it's hard not to be very
young compared to I don't know everything that

524
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.719
we're seeing right now, but yeah, so dvance is going to be forty.

525
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:28.039
Sorry, my brain's doing like nine
different things at a time. So

526
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:30.159
by the time you know, he'd
be running for office, the dudes in

527
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:36.519
his early forties, which I don't
think is like he's you know, that's

528
00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:38.760
how old I am. So I
think that's a perfect age because I know

529
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:43.480
everything and I would be a great
leader. I just I don't like to

530
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:45.800
deal with people. I know.
I'm in a weird business for that.

531
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:51.880
So there's that. It's mostly the
having to meet people and pretend that I

532
00:48:51.880 --> 00:49:01.280
don't wish that I was anywhere but
there casey OTEI radio program just because there

533
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:08.679
has I can't help even in times
when we have big stories to run across

534
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:13.039
the really stupid stuff. And I
don't know why I thought this was so

535
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.480
funny. You know what it is, It's a good economics lesson. So

536
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:20.800
I'm just gonna I'm gonna throw this
up in the middle. Apparently they are

537
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:29.800
having a big there's a financial crisis
brewing in Colombia, and it's of a

538
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:34.880
rather unique variety. So let me
hit you with this. According to Yahoo

539
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:44.360
News and The New York Times,
Colombian villagers are facing on certain economic times

540
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:51.039
due to the overproduction of cocaine.
The market is flooded with cocaine and has

541
00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:57.199
now driven the price so low money. I guess maybe one of you crackheads

542
00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.880
love to call in and tell me
how low that is. But that whole

543
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:08.519
villages are now wondering should they come
up with another economically viable solution, because

544
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:14.480
this ain't it, folks, And
I kid you not. In New York

545
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:16.840
Times as a whole piece where they
go to these little villages, in these

546
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:24.840
remote Columbian villages where this coca production
takes place and it's getting so bad that

547
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:29.760
they're shrinking. In fact, one
of the villages they profiled, which had

548
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:37.519
two hundred residents as recent as two
years ago is now down to forty as

549
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:43.239
the market is so flooded with product
that folks are having to go elsewhere to

550
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:54.599
find other economic opportunities now. And
it's interesting even though you're obviously you're dealing

551
00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:58.320
with that. I want, by
the way, did you know did you

552
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:01.000
not? I didn't know this until
I went there and it was blown away.

553
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:07.880
If you remember, I took a
trip to to uh Guatipe, which

554
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:12.840
is in Colombia, and then to
Ecuador and then to Galopagos last year and

555
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:15.760
it was it was crazy interesting.
Man. But if you go to GUAATEAPEI

556
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:21.559
you have to go through you have
to fly into Metazine, which I had

557
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:25.880
never obviously i'd never been there,
and I'm like, that's weird. That's

558
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:31.000
a weird feeling, because like everything
you know has has basically been informed because

559
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:36.760
you watched Narcos. You should watch
Narcos, it's really good, or you've

560
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:40.440
seen you know, Cocaine Cowboys,
or you've seen any any of the anything

561
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:47.400
having to do with the insanity that
was the Colombian cartels in the eighties,

562
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:55.639
and of course the very enigmatic leadership
there and and horrible, right, horrible.

563
00:51:55.679 --> 00:52:00.679
One of the things that you will
see and once you know what it

564
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:06.039
is, it's impossible to unsee it. When you're in megazine is you will

565
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:14.960
see little plaques where outlining people who
were killed as part of the Pablo esque

566
00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:19.480
of our reign of terror there and
it doesn't matter where you go. You

567
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:22.360
could be You could be in Peblato, you could be in Loreles, which

568
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:28.440
is where I stayed, a place
called Lorells, which is you know,

569
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:32.360
it's there's a standards over by the
stadium. They got bars and restaurants,

570
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:37.960
tourist hotels. It's considered I guess, a pretty safe area there and stay

571
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:40.519
there for a couple of nights,
both in it, coming in and going

572
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:45.159
out. And then Guatapay is it's
basically the inside of a volcano that's a

573
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:50.599
lake now and it's got this huge
spire of the dome and it's got like

574
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:53.159
eight hundred stairs to get to the
top, which sound like a good idea

575
00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:58.599
good tell about stair two hundred.
You're like, am I almost there?

576
00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:01.800
And you realize no, you're not. You are not almost there. And

577
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:05.760
then they have like a they have
like a little dip out point for cowards

578
00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:07.519
and you're like, I'm not a
coward, I'm gonna do this thing.

579
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:10.079
And then you get to the top
and you're pretty sure you should be dead.

580
00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:15.400
And uh, there's people who literally
walk up that every day to work

581
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.480
because there's like a bar restaurant up
there. It's wild Man, and it's

582
00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:24.400
just it's gorgeous and it's beautiful.
But among all of that, you're seeing

583
00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:30.760
these little plaques and and you realize
that forty thousand people were killed by this

584
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:37.000
guy. Forty thousand people were killed
by this guy, and it's just so

585
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:40.280
it's hard to fathom. Even in
a big city. Megazine is a big

586
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:45.400
city. It's it's it's a bigger
city than any city we have in North

587
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:52.760
Carolina. And everywhere you go there's
a high likelihood you're gonna run across one

588
00:53:52.800 --> 00:54:00.800
of those people who fell victim to
this this empire. And it puts a

589
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:04.000
lot in perspective, you know how
I'm with history and stuff. But a

590
00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:08.280
couple things emerge from that. One
if you go there as a tourist and

591
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:20.960
you and you go and there are
people basically forty or older, they are

592
00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:27.119
very resentful of the fact that you
would be you would have any sort of

593
00:54:27.239 --> 00:54:31.159
interest in One of these Escobar tours
and they don't like. They don't like

594
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:36.119
they don't like the name, they
don't like the they don't like the way

595
00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:45.159
that people have this weird fascination almost
from a like in any way, shape

596
00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:47.880
or form where they like Escobar or
they think that there's a cool factor there,

597
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:52.880
which I literally watched American tourists exude
out. They're like, oh,

598
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:54.599
I can't wait to go to his
grave and all this stuff, and you

599
00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:59.400
could tell that the locals really hate
that. Why because they probably have a

600
00:54:59.400 --> 00:55:04.599
family member who was killed. I
don't blame them, man, it's it's

601
00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:07.480
really dark stuff. Or they want
to go see the hippos, which you

602
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:13.920
can do. You can go see
the hippos. But what struck me and

603
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:21.960
I dug into because I found it
fascinating, was cocaine's legal there. I'm

604
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:24.360
not telling you so you can go
down and see if you can stop your

605
00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:29.519
heart. I would suggest that you
avoid that, especially going into a foreign

606
00:55:29.519 --> 00:55:32.480
country and doing something like that.
You just you're you're asking for it.

607
00:55:32.519 --> 00:55:39.119
I would have no sympathy for you, but you realize why the laws are

608
00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:45.000
the way that the laws are down
there, right, They needed to economically

609
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:50.880
make it so that no one could
rise from those ashes. So if you

610
00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:54.400
don't have a product where some guys
with guns can strictly control the flow of

611
00:55:55.360 --> 00:56:00.239
it makes it a lot harder for
another Pablo Escobar to rise. So it

612
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:04.480
creates a very interesting and from the
impression I got is is most of the

613
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:07.800
locals don't use it. In fact, the statistics would back that up,

614
00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:13.039
which is pretty crazy because I feel
like if you legalized a bunch of stuff

615
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:20.840
in the US, everybody turns into
Denver during that first flight. But it

616
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:24.840
did, but it doesn't mean that
it didn't stop it flowing outward. You

617
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:28.880
know. The other thing is when
you go to the airport to arrive in

618
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:32.280
medicine, you'll it's a very lengthy
process. They have one line, stupid

619
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:37.519
long plan for you know, a
couple hours just for that. But they're

620
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:42.039
very controlling of what comes in.
When you go to leave, you don't

621
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.480
even have to put that stuff in
your rear end if you don't want to.

622
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:49.360
They're just like, hey, are
you leaving? Oh fine, yeah,

623
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:53.679
we don't even need to look in
there. And so you have these

624
00:56:53.760 --> 00:57:00.039
rural areas that that you know it
it is barely economic viable for them.

625
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:06.719
Well, now with the with bentanyl
being a thing, and because it's a

626
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:16.079
lot easier to smuggle that than it
is to smuggle that much cocaine, And

627
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:20.840
so you have this, you have
a rapidly changing economic thing. I find

628
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.360
it interesting. I know that it
doesn't necessarily connect with what we're talking about.

629
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:27.400
New York Times piece was just who
knows, maybe they wrote it so

630
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:30.320
they didn't have to write about the
Trump stuff. I don't care. But

631
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:34.559
it's like, you know, all
these rules of economics, and this is

632
00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:37.719
where I'm going to tie it back
that people want to go ahead and reject,

633
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:40.840
you know, so the law of
supply and demand, And it doesn't

634
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:45.079
mean people don't manipulate the system,
and it doesn't mean that the system's perfect.

635
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:49.679
In fact, no system is.
So you have to ask yourself what

636
00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:53.960
is the best process for this.
But no matter how much you try to

637
00:57:54.000 --> 00:58:00.679
deny the existence of these things,
they have real imp packs and consequences that

638
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:07.480
play out regardless of how humans how
much humans think they can control it.

639
00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:12.920
And we have some big, big, big issues for this presidential election where

640
00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:16.960
there's a sharp divide on how you
do this. You know, the power

641
00:58:16.960 --> 00:58:22.079
of the dollar worldwide is at one
of the lowest points I've ever seen,

642
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:29.199
causing exchange rates to be twenty five
thirty percent less in some instances. I

643
00:58:29.239 --> 00:58:35.000
can tell you the exchange rate in
Colombia and Ecuador was far less than what

644
00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:40.079
I had read on forums. Instead
of four thousand or forty five hundred to

645
00:58:40.119 --> 00:58:45.320
one that had dipped significantly, I
think that was the number, which is

646
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:47.679
a crazy number when you think about
it, right, one of our dollars

647
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:53.239
is equal to over four thousand of
their pesos what they use down there.

648
00:58:57.800 --> 00:59:05.119
And now you have this changing You
have this changing look to this age old

649
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:15.000
industry, right, and the economic
fallout of it is significant and as crazy

650
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:19.960
as it sounds. You can sit
there and you can learn and draw lessons

651
00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:27.280
from this. As you watch the
continued rollout of AI automated automated systems within

652
00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:30.960
fast food production, which the state
of California, due to their own incompetence

653
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:37.719
and lawmaking, is going to push
forward at a speed that was not previously

654
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:45.400
estimated. You will talk to robots
to order at McDonald's. You already are

655
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:52.320
in some instances. Did you know
that there are some McDonald's As we found

656
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:59.880
out that we're utilizing and testing out
a system using AI voice prompted ordering some

657
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:07.760
systems. So, whether it's cocaine
or Big Max or your job, these

658
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:12.679
are things that people need to pay
attention to. And these are things that

659
01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:17.000
need to be part of any discussion
with this presidential election and pretty much any

660
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:22.039
high office right now, it will
be breakneck speed. Look at how good

661
01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:28.760
AI is just creating memes. How
many of you have seen live memes?

662
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:31.440
Now? Right? What's one of
the more famous ones? You know,

663
01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:35.760
the guy who's walking with his girlfriend
and he's doing that look back at another

664
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:38.719
girl and she's got that horrified look
on her face. Somebody just told an

665
01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:42.639
AII They're like, make that a
real life thing. And now there's a

666
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:49.519
video. There's a video like you're
in a movie watching that happen. So

667
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:52.920
for every bit of discussion that we're
going to be having about what happened in

668
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:57.079
Baker Pa and the fallout and who's
the head of the secret service and was

669
01:00:57.119 --> 01:01:00.880
it political? And where they're diversity
higher? Why does black Rock have a

670
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:06.280
commercial with this you this dude in
it? Just know that there's a lot

671
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.320
of really really really big level,
high level stuff they can't get lost in

672
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:15.119
the mix. All right, seven
forty seven, Casey, I'm sorry.

673
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:19.559
I feel like I'm scolding, but
I'm not. I just BILLI. We've

674
01:01:19.559 --> 01:01:21.800
got to keep our eye on the
ball, all right. I was gonna

675
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:23.360
say our eye on the target,
but you can't say that. Man seven

676
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:29.480
forty seven raced agic from the weather
Channel. He's here with your your weather

677
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:32.280
forecast, which will get better,
but it will suck in the meantime.

678
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:37.760
So a little both, I mean
better than worse. I mean a lot

679
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.599
of people don't want rain. If
you've got weekend plans. Rain chances going

680
01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:45.199
up. Not much coverage today,
just isolated stuff here and there. Hot,

681
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:46.880
and Huban once again, he'd advisory
for most of us. Let's just

682
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:50.320
put it that way. There are
parts of the triad that aren'tated, but

683
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:52.800
everybody will be in the mid upper
nineties, he did. He's close to

684
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:57.119
one oh five isolated showers thunderstorms this
afternoon of this evening. Now the coverage

685
01:01:57.119 --> 01:02:00.360
and chances do go up tomorrow afternoon
tomorrow evening was on thunderstorms more likely to

686
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:04.800
be scattered around, but still hot, mid nineties and humid, so it

687
01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:07.079
feels like one o five. Probably
have another heat advisory, and then for

688
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:12.039
Thursday and Friday, scattered showers and
storms. Hi's only between eighty five and

689
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:15.280
ninety with most of us on Friday
staying in the eighties. And I think

690
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:19.880
that trend of eighty degree high temperatures
eighty plus will continue into the weekend,

691
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:23.599
but decent chances of showers thunderstorm.
So that's the payoff. You get the

692
01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:28.440
front, you get the cooler or
not it's extremely hot weather, you get

693
01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:30.119
the rain chances with it. So
a couple of more real hot, humid

694
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:35.039
days today, KC tomorrow, and
then it looks like we'll start seeing temperatures

695
01:02:35.079 --> 01:02:37.039
come down just a bit. Get
the old winter coats out right, yeah,

696
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:40.159
man, almost there. Yeah,
well, you know, if we

697
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:44.679
think it into existence, maybe it
happened we could all right, thanks man,

698
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:47.079
appreciate it. YEP seven forty nine, Hang on back in just a

699
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:52.480
few. It is the KCO Day
radio program phone number eight eight eight nine

700
01:02:52.559 --> 01:03:00.119
three four seven eight seven four as
we cruise into the third hour. Two

701
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:07.760
days. So, Joe Biden sat
down with Lester Holt yesterday combative. Yeah,

702
01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:14.760
Holt utilizing the very same standards that
date back probably to Palin, I

703
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:21.119
think was the highest profile example,
right, Remember Sarah Palin was why Gabby

704
01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:24.760
Gifford's got shot. I know because
I read that in the New York Times,

705
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:28.960
who got later sued by it,
and everyone knew that they were one

706
01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:31.800
hundred percent in the wrong. But
of course you get the right court in

707
01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:40.880
New York, nobody gets held responsible. She just simply had what is a

708
01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:46.039
very innocuous map, right, and
it had a map of a handful of

709
01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:55.679
congressional districts. One of them happened
to be Gifford's district in Phoenix, and

710
01:03:55.719 --> 01:04:00.920
those are districts that they were targeting
to flip. It was super clear what

711
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:06.400
it was, and that became the
national conversation. Well, Joe Biden,

712
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:12.079
in that speech was presented with hey, didn't you know you said, you

713
01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:15.760
know, you put a bullseye on
Trump? And his response was, I

714
01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:23.559
didn't say crosshairs, which is dumb
and if you're and by the way,

715
01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:30.280
the correct response is I should have
said spotlight. And for whatever reason,

716
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:34.719
Lester Hold, even though he was
injecting other possibilities, like, nobody thought

717
01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:40.000
of that. Now do I think
that Joe Biden' say't put a bull's eye

718
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:44.239
on Trump? Caused this, no, but I am forced to play and

719
01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:49.679
uh and analyze stuff through the standards
of the individuals making the standards. And

720
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:54.400
these are the individuals making the standards. And if you go back and you

721
01:04:54.400 --> 01:05:01.360
look at Joe Biden comments about Trump, about Bush, about Republicans in general

722
01:05:02.519 --> 01:05:06.599
within the last decade, there are
so many shining examples of it. You

723
01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:11.599
know, was his time not serving
during his time as vice president, and

724
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:18.679
even going back to his time in
the Senate. He then, when presented

725
01:05:18.719 --> 01:05:24.400
with this, said, but what
about Trump? Which is fine as a

726
01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:28.599
partial answer, but it's usually a
better It's a better answer when you say,

727
01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:31.320
you know what, absolutely, I
don't know that I think that this

728
01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:35.159
caused it. But since I think
this is the standard we have to play

729
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:42.880
by, I'll take my responsibility and
I won't use that language anymore. And

730
01:05:42.960 --> 01:05:45.920
I hope my opponent would do the
same. And if you say it like

731
01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:48.719
that, you say the exact thing
that Biden kind of said. Well,

732
01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:53.639
the second half you say basically what
Biden said, but you say it in

733
01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:59.400
a way that doesn't make you sound
like you're refusing to acquiesce on this thing.

734
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:05.000
KCODA Radio program our number three here
on your Tuesday phone number eight eight

735
01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:11.960
eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. So you know, yesterday I

736
01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:16.480
really stuck to the technical because I
thought that that was important having to do

737
01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:23.800
with the Trump rally and the attempted
assassination. But the human side of it

738
01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:30.440
and just the the disgusting side of
it was very much on display, and

739
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:35.400
it was on display early. I
know a lot of people probably became aware

740
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:42.199
of what happened with the Tenacious D, which I don't do people still do

741
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.719
people even still know what that is. There was there was definitely a window

742
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:48.280
in there, the school of rock
window, I guess i'll call it,

743
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:55.840
or Jack Black and a guy whose
name you probably don't know or didn't know

744
01:06:55.960 --> 01:07:00.480
his name, but you knew him
from being the other guy, which Black,

745
01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:06.119
they formulate what is a parody rock
band called Tenacious D. His name

746
01:07:06.199 --> 01:07:12.760
is Kyle Gas, by the way, and they were doing a concert down

747
01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:17.920
in Australia. Where was it Sydney, it doesn't matter, somewhere in Australia.

748
01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:23.960
And there's a video that emerged because
it was Gas's birthday, and so

749
01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:30.360
during the middle of the concert they
have this whole stunt where like costume robot

750
01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:34.480
looking thing comes out with a cake
and happy birthday and make a wish,

751
01:07:34.599 --> 01:07:41.239
and Gas did make a wish,
he said, by wish, don't miss

752
01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:45.679
Trump next time, and then Jack
Black goes thank you, and video kind

753
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:51.480
of cuts out there as they wrap
up the birthday celebration and then you know,

754
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:57.519
back to the concert stuff. Admittedly, I've never been to a Tenacious

755
01:07:57.599 --> 01:08:02.360
D concert, but there was a
win you probably many of you are most

756
01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:09.119
you're old enough to remember it where
Jack Black was everywhere. Man, they

757
01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:12.159
said, I mentioned the school of
rock that was that was a big movie,

758
01:08:12.199 --> 01:08:15.039
but Black was everywhere, and as
a result, Gas was everywhere,

759
01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:19.920
and it had a real pen and
teller vibe where Gas would be I guess

760
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:24.880
teller or you just kind of sit
there and he didn't always say a lot.

761
01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:30.239
But the dude is both of them
are very political. Jack Black was

762
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:36.920
one of the folks at the Clooney
fundraiser, the very same one that was

763
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:41.560
used in the piece that Clooney wrote
saying, you know, he just wasn't

764
01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:47.199
the Joe I remember. And don't
get it messed up because people are going,

765
01:08:47.239 --> 01:08:53.039
well, you know they This obviously
was on the fourteenth and the incident

766
01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:55.960
happened on thirteenth, And to that, I would say, you don't understand

767
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:02.319
how time zones work, because yes, while the dates are technically different,

768
01:09:03.159 --> 01:09:13.239
this was this was within a couple
hours because Australia sits so far ahead of

769
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:19.359
US, so from eastern you know, from eastern USA, and you know

770
01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:30.640
late afternoon, early evening it is
it's the next day. So that's what

771
01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:33.720
we're talking about here. And he
wasn't alone. You had jokes by the

772
01:09:34.520 --> 01:09:40.640
I guess now former field director for
Benny Thompson, and then Benny Thompson,

773
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:44.199
the representative got to come out and
go, well, we've parted ways with

774
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:48.439
this individual who also made it don't
miss joke or do better next time joke

775
01:09:50.239 --> 01:09:54.520
and acted as though he was outraged. Well, you have to understand that

776
01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:59.159
Benny Thompson is the one that introduced
legislation that would have stripped Trump of Secret

777
01:09:59.199 --> 01:10:02.680
Service protection. Yeah, he was. He was. He was one of

778
01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:06.520
these cats that were out there with
the death by a thousand cut strategy,

779
01:10:08.479 --> 01:10:11.439
and the way that he was going
to go after Trump is uh. He

780
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:17.720
he crafted a law that was written
quite specifically that would have addressed Trump,

781
01:10:21.199 --> 01:10:26.119
that would have removed any of that
protection. His standard, I believe under

782
01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:31.680
the law was the conviction of certain
crimes that carried enough penalty time. Well,

783
01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:35.680
Alvin Bragger, Uh, excuse me, Alvin Bragg, and what's her

784
01:10:35.720 --> 01:10:41.239
bucket up? In New York,
they delivered, Letitia James, they delivered.

785
01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:49.560
Now, of course would in the
long run it had been it had

786
01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:54.359
been that way. No, I
think most people still believe that as soon

787
01:10:54.399 --> 01:10:58.880
as this thing works its way up
the court system, this this, these

788
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:05.279
convictions in New York, we'll get
tossed. Meanwhile, an absolute conniption fits

789
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:12.000
started yesterday after the judge in Florida
who was assigned the you know, the

790
01:11:12.840 --> 01:11:15.880
oh he's got top secret documents laying
everywhere. Well, how do you know

791
01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:19.399
there could look at the cover sheets
that we added ahead of time for the

792
01:11:19.439 --> 01:11:28.840
photo. On the grounds that Jack
Smith wasn't appointed for a league in illegal

793
01:11:29.039 --> 01:11:34.920
manner by Merrick Garland, she threw
the case out and everyone feigned outrage.

794
01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:39.359
I'll tell you this, though,
I think secretly there was a lot of

795
01:11:39.399 --> 01:11:45.359
Democrats who went, oh, thank
god, because they realized the optics of

796
01:11:45.399 --> 01:11:54.560
this. They realized the inherent double
standard, the insane double standard from home

797
01:11:54.600 --> 01:11:59.239
brewed servers with Hillary to Joe Biden
with the very same types of documents,

798
01:11:59.319 --> 01:12:04.600
albeit not a person who had ever
held presidential office at that point, with

799
01:12:04.800 --> 01:12:12.039
boxes of these documents that set in
a garage next to his prize corvette.

800
01:12:15.760 --> 01:12:20.880
So yeah, yeah, in a
way, I think that a favor was

801
01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:26.720
done really so that that didn't have
to move forward in the dumpster fire manner

802
01:12:26.760 --> 01:12:29.760
that it was looking to move forward. Now, of course they're going to

803
01:12:29.800 --> 01:12:31.000
appeal, and that's the right.
They go ahead and do that, but

804
01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:35.760
they're gonna have a hard time getting
that jump started because I don't think anyone's

805
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:42.479
got appetite for this right now.
Meanwhile, I'm having to read about the

806
01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:48.520
retaliatory riots, where are those at
a lot of breathless reporting this morning from

807
01:12:48.800 --> 01:12:58.960
various outlets about the Alphabet agencies they're
on high alert. The irony, of

808
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:03.279
course being it is the fundamental lack
of being under or on high alert that

809
01:13:03.520 --> 01:13:09.119
looks like it may have contributed to
this, as we find out now that

810
01:13:09.159 --> 01:13:13.800
it was to almost thirty minutes by
the twenty six minutes from the time that

811
01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:20.159
the shooter was spotted by a member
of law enforcement on My Dad two when

812
01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:26.520
he was eventually, essentially when he
was greased following getting to lobs some shots.

813
01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:35.439
The building literally had a sniper team
in it, and they watched him

814
01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:41.479
use a range finder. All of
these things you want to talk about high

815
01:13:41.520 --> 01:13:48.159
alert should have been giant tip offs
or as the guy in Cleveland would say,

816
01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:57.720
dead giveaway, right, dead giveaway. So don't let Benny Thompson sit

817
01:13:57.760 --> 01:14:06.000
there and crocodile tears. You don't
let this professor at Belmore University who also

818
01:14:06.159 --> 01:14:09.199
was like, hey, can we
get somebody who knows what they're doing in

819
01:14:09.239 --> 01:14:14.760
there? Don't let them spind you, and sure as hell, don't let

820
01:14:14.840 --> 01:14:19.319
them talk you into going out and
doing something stupid and violent. I don't

821
01:14:19.319 --> 01:14:25.640
think that they will do m I
get a U haul full of Patriot Front

822
01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:30.600
folks that show up there, that'd
be interesting. But it wasn't the right

823
01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:40.479
running to protest, it wasn't the
it wasn't Trump supporters. Now, there

824
01:14:40.560 --> 01:14:45.560
was a report of vandalism at the
state party headquarters for Democrats, and if

825
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:49.880
somebody went and did that, it
was retaliatory. Don't do that, trust

826
01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:55.359
me, let them, don't give
them an inch. If you feel that

827
01:14:55.439 --> 01:15:00.720
they were at at fault in any
way, shape or form, and a

828
01:15:00.720 --> 01:15:04.880
lot of people do. Let them
just exist and stew in their own muck

829
01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:16.960
show people the receipts. But I
if you're part of making this bed,

830
01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:20.439
you're gonna get left to lie in
it. And it doesn't matter how much

831
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:28.039
reporting the outlets like Politico do a
few of you have sent this story this

832
01:15:28.119 --> 01:15:34.960
morning? Yeah, FBI, DHS
weren't a possible retaliation for attack on Trump?

833
01:15:35.199 --> 01:15:41.119
Wouldn't that happen right away? Is
not how these things work when people

834
01:15:41.119 --> 01:15:45.520
are mad as hell and they're not
gonna take it anymore. Is there a

835
01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:47.800
waiting period that I'm unaware of,
because that's not what I've seen, and

836
01:15:48.199 --> 01:15:54.640
we've done how many stories over the
last few years of cities that immediately turn

837
01:15:54.720 --> 01:16:00.039
to turmoil following an officer involved shooting. Do they wait a few No,

838
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:04.640
because part of it is not waiting
for the information so that by the time

839
01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:12.359
it hits you, you're so committed
to it you don't care. Here we

840
01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:16.399
go from a Politico. US authorities
are concerned about possible attacks and retaliation of

841
01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:21.239
the attempted assassination of Donald Trump that, according to the FBI and Department of

842
01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:28.399
Homeland Security, who issued what is
a very rare occurrence which are called joint

843
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:34.279
jibs joint intelligence politans. So I
think it's a funny word anyway for something

844
01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:42.439
that's kind of serious, but is
what it is, violent extremists or others?

845
01:16:43.079 --> 01:16:47.600
What does it or others mean may
attempt to follow on ortal or may

846
01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:53.720
attempt follow on retaliatory acts of violence. So what are you saying? You

847
01:16:53.720 --> 01:17:01.000
think they're going to go out and
Greece the Democrat? Maybe, but I

848
01:17:01.119 --> 01:17:04.319
sure as hell, and I don't
know that anyone listening to the show it

849
01:17:04.359 --> 01:17:10.199
thinks that's a good idea, because
you know we're on it. We're not

850
01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:13.399
here to play political games. We
honestly don't want to see this stuff.

851
01:17:14.960 --> 01:17:16.960
We don't want people thinking that if
they go to a rally to support somebody

852
01:17:17.039 --> 01:17:19.760
or just to listen to somebody.
Do you know one of the people wounded

853
01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:26.680
as a Democrat, the grandfather is
a registered Democrat. Now he seems to

854
01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:30.439
have found an affinity for Trump if
you look at some of the memes he's

855
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:35.960
posted on the Facebook. But there's
a guy just showing up to hear what

856
01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:44.439
this guy has to say, and
he gets shot for his troubles is expected

857
01:17:44.439 --> 01:17:47.840
to make a recovery. But the
dude's mid seventies. So if you know,

858
01:17:47.840 --> 01:17:51.640
if there is any lasting lingering health
issues, that's going to be far

859
01:17:51.640 --> 01:17:56.079
more impactful on somebody in their mid
seventies than say, somebody who's in their

860
01:17:56.079 --> 01:18:05.239
twenties and is in good shape in
spite of themselves. But the FBI running

861
01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:10.600
out with bulletins like this, where's
your evidence? What are your I mean,

862
01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:16.680
what is prompting you to say this? No specific targets were mentioned in

863
01:18:16.720 --> 01:18:23.319
the bulletins, but the four page
bulletin does note that extremists have conducted or

864
01:18:23.439 --> 01:18:29.239
plotted attacks against perceived political or ideological
opponents in the past. Yeah, and

865
01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:32.920
I remember that time. You also
talked all those dudes into doing actual like

866
01:18:34.399 --> 01:18:41.079
the cringiest tactical training. You know, rocky montage videos you've ever seen in

867
01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:47.159
your life where they're dumping a team
of you know, fake swat dudes out

868
01:18:47.159 --> 01:18:53.119
of a PT cruiser so that they
can move on some sort of target of

869
01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:57.720
interest. You ever seen those videos? They're crazy, But I guess that's

870
01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:01.319
a good way to sneak in and
do stuff because nobody's expecting a PT cruiser

871
01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:08.399
to be filled with a band of
mercenaries like it's a clown car. They

872
01:19:08.399 --> 01:19:14.239
say, they just keep coming out
of there. What's going on? But

873
01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:15.840
to that, I say, show
me, show me where it's happening,

874
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:19.880
show me where it's unfolding right now. Show me in Pittsburgh why it's not

875
01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:27.199
unfolding right now, or in Milwaukee
where the where the Republicans are. And

876
01:19:27.239 --> 01:19:31.279
the answer is because it isn't.
So now we're into the world of projection,

877
01:19:31.439 --> 01:19:36.039
man. But if you see something, you see some riots or something,

878
01:19:36.079 --> 01:19:42.239
please let me know. We will
absolutely, will, absolutely deal with

879
01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:48.640
it on the air, no problem. They're happy to do it. And

880
01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:53.000
the trust level with the FBI is
sad as at about zero for a lot

881
01:19:53.000 --> 01:19:57.319
of people. So you're also when
you when you go chicken little on this

882
01:19:57.359 --> 01:20:00.920
stuff and it doesn't pan out and
you're all ready hemorrhaging people that believe your

883
01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:09.039
garbage, that's not a good look
for you, especially when it's it's pretty

884
01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:13.039
clear that all of the details that
you're looking for are not details that are

885
01:20:13.039 --> 01:20:18.000
possessed by the author or have been
verbalized by these individual groups or or I

886
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:24.560
guess lone wolves or whomever's looking at
it, but you write it down like

887
01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:27.920
it's a thing. You're sure it's
going to happen. Give me a damn

888
01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:30.399
break. Six twenty one, hang
on, excuse me, eight twenty one,

889
01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:33.520
hang on. Oh, this is
not what the This is not what

890
01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:42.600
the country needs right now. The
country needs to heal. I know the

891
01:20:42.680 --> 01:20:45.239
FBI is like, oh, it's
gonna be retaliatory stuff. All right,

892
01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:49.640
call me when it happens, right, we need to we need to knock

893
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:53.439
it down a notch or but you
know, whatever, garbage the thing you

894
01:20:53.479 --> 01:20:58.520
want to say, and so we
can't. You know, we tried to

895
01:20:58.520 --> 01:21:01.479
turn to baseball yesterday for the home
run derby and then they bring out ingrid

896
01:21:02.359 --> 01:21:10.560
Angris Andrews. Excuse me, a
country singer who then proceeds to butcher sick

897
01:21:11.239 --> 01:21:16.079
the national anthem. It gets so
much worse. My point is like,

898
01:21:16.640 --> 01:21:23.279
we got to get something right here. Man. Why a country artist.

899
01:21:23.399 --> 01:21:26.760
If you tell me a country artist
is doing the national anthem, I almost

900
01:21:26.760 --> 01:21:31.479
have zero concern. You tell me
Fergie's doing it. I got that was

901
01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:40.239
not good kc O Day Radio program. The dvance reaction has been, well,

902
01:21:42.159 --> 01:21:45.680
you know, for tone down the
rhetoric. I don't know Van Jones

903
01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:50.359
during the CNN analysis which I can't
find. I can't help myself, but

904
01:21:50.439 --> 01:21:58.720
watch because one minute it's it's very
contrite, like we need to do better,

905
01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:01.840
and then the next moment they make
the announcement and Van Jones on CNN

906
01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:08.159
referred to jd Vance as quote,
a dangerous virus and a horror on the

907
01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:16.960
world stage. Again, by your
own standards, dehumanizing an individual or group

908
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:23.319
of people, I keep getting told
is a bad thing. People don't necessarily

909
01:22:23.399 --> 01:22:30.800
respond well to it. Deplorables right, Oh, you got a bucket of

910
01:22:30.880 --> 01:22:38.159
deplorables. Man. Arguably that was
something that might have definitely contributed to her

911
01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:45.359
losing the election. So when you
get out there like a dangerous virus,

912
01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:49.359
there is historical context where the very
same language has been utilized to dehumanize groups

913
01:22:49.359 --> 01:22:53.960
of people so that you could eventually
stick them in ghettos and then move them

914
01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:59.199
to your new camps complete with you
know, shower rooms, so that they

915
01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:05.239
could carry out a killings. That
was a multi year, multi pronged approach

916
01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:13.199
at making it seem that the person
who you are going to do horrible things

917
01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:15.800
to or look the other way while
horrible things are done, aren't on,

918
01:23:16.239 --> 01:23:23.520
They're not you, they're not human
even it's it's the only way that in

919
01:23:23.560 --> 01:23:28.880
many cases you can you can shift
large scale public opinion. You have to

920
01:23:28.920 --> 01:23:34.720
see them as less than so for
for drawing one breath in and complaining about

921
01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:42.319
the vitriol to your very next one
being yeah, but yeah, he's a

922
01:23:42.399 --> 01:23:45.920
virus of cancer. Well what do
you do with viruses and cancers? Do

923
01:23:45.960 --> 01:23:51.000
you embrace them? Now? You
do everything in your power. You're bet

924
01:23:51.039 --> 01:23:57.479
you hate them so much that you're
willing to poison yourself because you know you're

925
01:23:57.520 --> 01:24:00.079
also poisoning that, you know,
the virus or excuse me, the cancer.

926
01:24:01.880 --> 01:24:08.039
That's what's so crazy here. Others
are just mad because we're not checking

927
01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:13.640
enough diversity boxes. Trump didn't pick
a person of color, Trump didn't pick

928
01:24:13.720 --> 01:24:16.960
a woman, Trump didn't pick a
minority. He picked another white man.

929
01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:23.039
Rad I gotta read crap like that
from some of these high profile Democrat accounts.

930
01:24:23.319 --> 01:24:27.680
Maybe he picked the person he thought
was the best, and you know,

931
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:32.840
and that best isn't always warm and
fuzzy. Sometimes it's you know,

932
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:36.880
it is self serving, but you
know you're still making the decision that you

933
01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:44.279
think is gonna work out best for
you. Oh no, he's not all

934
01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:46.399
the diversity stuff, you know,
the literally. I think the only acceptable

935
01:24:46.439 --> 01:24:51.119
candidate would be that protester who got
whisked away by police the other day that

936
01:24:51.119 --> 01:24:59.520
that her friends were all upset.
You don't remember that. Let's remember how

937
01:24:59.560 --> 01:25:04.479
many diversity checkboxes. This is from
one of these college campus takeovers, so

938
01:25:04.479 --> 01:25:11.920
they can fly their harmas flag and
scream at people where one of their comrades

939
01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:15.840
other listening to how she has comrade
it's adorable with the accent, was taken

940
01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:19.800
by police. It is also unfair
because you don't know that the number of

941
01:25:19.800 --> 01:25:25.640
diversity boxes that this individual checks.
And I'm here to tell you it's a

942
01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:30.119
crap ton. Just so you're aware
of Police Forces hospital lies. One of

943
01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:34.880
our comrades mail officers touched. I
can't take it seriously with that accent,

944
01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:42.119
that cockney. What is going on
here? Anyway? I'm sorry. Back

945
01:25:42.199 --> 01:25:47.000
to this, remember, get your
diversity checklist book out and try to follow

946
01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:51.960
along as best you can. Police
Forces hospital lies. One of our comrades

947
01:25:53.279 --> 01:25:59.079
mail officers touched a disabled Muslim trans
person of color without consent and refuse to

948
01:25:59.119 --> 01:26:01.840
give them medical tree. It's you
know, what it reminds me of is

949
01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:11.039
the the what's the new, what's
the latest eminem? So Houdini, you

950
01:26:11.079 --> 01:26:15.279
don't have to be in in into
eminem, that's fine, right, And

951
01:26:15.359 --> 01:26:19.880
I love that there's a middle generation
who's going who and where you have simultaneously

952
01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:23.800
younger kids that are into it,
and then people my age are like,

953
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:29.119
yeah, this is what we called
music back in the day, recognizing that,

954
01:26:29.239 --> 01:26:32.079
you know, the eminem of my
childhood couldn't exist on the current plane.

955
01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:36.960
And that self realization is in the
video and in the song. And

956
01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:43.640
there's a part where the part where
Eminem and the song is talking about how

957
01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:49.359
his transgender cat identifies as black but
acts Chinese, right, which is obviously

958
01:26:49.359 --> 01:26:58.960
a sarcastic cut on on this incessant
need to throw everything else out the window

959
01:26:59.159 --> 01:27:02.560
from and the valueuation standpoint, just
so that they can go, look what

960
01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:05.399
we did here, Well, I
am looking at what you did. In

961
01:27:05.479 --> 01:27:13.199
fact, arguably the biggest stumbling block
to being able to as a party react

962
01:27:13.399 --> 01:27:18.880
to what happened is the vice president, who was not, in my opinion,

963
01:27:19.039 --> 01:27:28.159
selected because she was she and she
was a person of color. But

964
01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:31.640
the words of Joe Biden, right, he said, I'm going to you

965
01:27:31.680 --> 01:27:36.560
know, I'm going to pick a
black woman. Well, now you've eliminated

966
01:27:36.600 --> 01:27:43.000
the vast majority of your options because
that black women, they're not fifty one

967
01:27:43.119 --> 01:27:49.720
percent of this country. And so
you created this scenario where she is just

968
01:27:49.840 --> 01:27:58.159
detestable when you ask voters, and
you have this war chest, this war

969
01:27:58.279 --> 01:28:00.159
chest that you wouldn't be able to
utilize if you just cut bait on this

970
01:28:00.199 --> 01:28:06.560
person and the second person and donors
who want that money back so they can

971
01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:15.079
spend it in down ballot situations like
the whole thing's wild man, So losing

972
01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:17.479
your crap because Vance happens to be
a white dude, he's married to a

973
01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:23.319
woman who is a person of color. Does that count or is that too

974
01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:28.319
on the nose with I have many
black friends because you know, you get

975
01:28:28.359 --> 01:28:33.680
that feeling, that vibe obviously,
But no, I think for the most

976
01:28:33.680 --> 01:28:39.319
part, the selection has been well
received. Even if there's people disappointed because

977
01:28:39.359 --> 01:28:42.479
they thought the young Kin or Burgham
or one of them should be in there,

978
01:28:46.880 --> 01:28:54.239
the fact is that's not the way
it's going to be. And also

979
01:28:54.479 --> 01:29:00.199
I think that the favorability rating has
nowhere to go but up should should he

980
01:29:00.239 --> 01:29:03.600
make it? Into office, and
the number of celebrities showing up, showing

981
01:29:03.640 --> 01:29:08.520
out on these things. Amber Rose, who I'm pretty sure was a stripper

982
01:29:08.560 --> 01:29:15.039
for a while, and then then
transition to music, who was a fervent,

983
01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:20.399
fervent hater of Trump and Republicans.
That's not my words, that's that's

984
01:29:20.439 --> 01:29:26.039
her explaining it. Who sat there
and watched all of these things play out,

985
01:29:26.039 --> 01:29:28.800
all of these different double standards,
went no, I'm not going to

986
01:29:28.840 --> 01:29:30.359
be a part of this. In
fact, I'm going to go out on

987
01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:34.520
a limb and try to is best. I can not be a part of

988
01:29:34.560 --> 01:29:45.119
any of it. So they did, and that's where we find ourselves this

989
01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:50.159
morning. All right, it is
eight forty three CaCO Day Radio program.

990
01:29:50.319 --> 01:29:56.840
Is mister Stagic available from the Weather
Channel? See what he's lucky? Certain,

991
01:29:57.159 --> 01:29:59.520
Yeah, what's going on? But
man, yeah, you know,

992
01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:02.520
just to trying to find the silver
lining here. You know, if it's

993
01:30:02.520 --> 01:30:05.800
not one thing, it's another.
You know, the Hooters burned down?

994
01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:11.640
Oh gosh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, you know it's nothing but enough

995
01:30:11.840 --> 01:30:15.840
news this morning. We'll give details
of that coming up, but burst details

996
01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:19.600
of weather. What you got more
warm humid weather? Oh, actually hot

997
01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:24.600
and humid weather coming up next few
days, so you know, hang in

998
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:27.479
there. The better hair days are
coming. Better hair days will be there,

999
01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:30.039
and as we get into the latter
part of the week, highlighted changes

1000
01:30:30.119 --> 01:30:38.159
include better raining chances, but we
will continue to see lower temperatures and by

1001
01:30:38.439 --> 01:30:41.920
Friday maybe low to mid eighties.
Parts of the mountains may not get out

1002
01:30:41.960 --> 01:30:45.159
of the seventies, and then I
think we're in a scattered shower thunderstorm thing

1003
01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:49.319
for multiple days in a row.
The temperature is gonna held down with that

1004
01:30:49.359 --> 01:30:53.520
with added cloud cover. So today's
still heat advisory for most of us.

1005
01:30:53.960 --> 01:30:56.760
The mid upper nineties will feel close
to one O five with the heat decks

1006
01:30:56.760 --> 01:31:00.960
and just hit miss storms this safternoon
through this evening. Likely storm tomorrow afternoon.

1007
01:31:00.079 --> 01:31:03.640
Mid nineties, though it's not until
Thursday and Friday we're talking about eighties.

1008
01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:08.439
Might hit ninety in the Triangle on
Thursday, but the rain chances will

1009
01:31:08.479 --> 01:31:10.680
be a little better. They'll be
scattered around the storms, and I think

1010
01:31:10.680 --> 01:31:13.720
the same trend into the weekend.
Not complete wash out on any day,

1011
01:31:13.800 --> 01:31:17.279
but just better chances which will help. Thursday's new drought model comes out and

1012
01:31:17.439 --> 01:31:20.920
at the least most of the state
was under some level of drought, whether

1013
01:31:20.960 --> 01:31:25.399
it was D zero one or two. I believe at least most of the

1014
01:31:25.439 --> 01:31:27.960
state that have some reports of drought, so we could use a little rainfall,

1015
01:31:28.359 --> 01:31:30.399
and I think we'll get some.
Okay, all right, I appreciate

1016
01:31:30.439 --> 01:31:33.279
it, my man. We'll Jeff
tomorrow, all right, okay, And

1017
01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:41.600
Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News joins us. Next. It is eight fifty one.

1018
01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:45.479
Your Bloomberg Update with Jeff Bellinger is
happening now, Jeff, what's going

1019
01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:50.079
on? I was morning Casey.
The news on retail sales this morning not

1020
01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:55.760
as bad as feared. The government
says sales were flat last month. Consumers

1021
01:31:55.800 --> 01:32:00.000
continued to feel financial pressure, but
economists thought we'd be hearing about a three

1022
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:03.760
eight tens percent decline, and with
auto sales excluded, sales were up for

1023
01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:08.880
tens percent. That was the biggest
gain in that category in three months.

1024
01:32:09.159 --> 01:32:14.079
Amazon dot COM's Prime Day events underway
now. Southwest Airlines has partnered with the

1025
01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:17.680
online retailer for the first time.
The carrier is offering fair discounts, and

1026
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:24.960
customers who use their Southwest Rapid Rewards
credit cards for Amazon purchases today or tomorrow

1027
01:32:25.119 --> 01:32:30.359
will learn points toward companion passes related
to a prime day. The Better Business

1028
01:32:30.359 --> 01:32:34.560
Bureau is warning Amazon customers to be
cautious today. Anytime there is a significant

1029
01:32:34.640 --> 01:32:39.560
sales event, the cyber criminals go
to work, be aware you could receive

1030
01:32:39.640 --> 01:32:44.840
phony emails purporting to be from onlines. The online superstore. General Motors the

1031
01:32:44.880 --> 01:32:50.279
latest legacy automaker to acknowledge that demand
for electric vehicles is fading. GMCEO Mary

1032
01:32:50.359 --> 01:32:55.840
Baris as the company will not have
the capacity to build one million evs by

1033
01:32:55.840 --> 01:33:00.159
the end of the year. She
told CNBC. Customer demand will determine and

1034
01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:03.079
how quickly the company gets to one
million EV sales per year, but at

1035
01:33:03.079 --> 01:33:09.560
this point GM is seeing a slowdown
in deliveries. Elon Musk indors Donald Trump's

1036
01:33:09.560 --> 01:33:14.439
bid for the presidency over the weekend. Now the billionaire entrepreneur is putting his

1037
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:19.079
wealth behind Trump's candidacy. Sources say
Musk is pledging forty five million dollars a

1038
01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:24.439
month to a pro Trump super pack. Verizon said to be looking to sell

1039
01:33:24.479 --> 01:33:29.000
thousands of its cell towers across the
country. Sources say the telecom giant has

1040
01:33:29.119 --> 01:33:32.399
hired advisors to gauge interest from potential
buyers. If there is a deal,

1041
01:33:32.439 --> 01:33:36.239
it could involve as many as six
thousand towers with a value of more than

1042
01:33:36.319 --> 01:33:42.119
three billion dollars and KC. AT
and T is facing a lawsuit over that

1043
01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:45.359
hacking attack that exposed the phone and
text records of just about all of its

1044
01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:50.479
wireless customers. The legal action was
filed in a federal court in Texas.

1045
01:33:50.680 --> 01:33:55.720
It alleges that AT and T is
guilty of negligence in allowing the hack to

1046
01:33:55.760 --> 01:34:00.399
happen, and the company has not
been transparent about security lapses. Bloomberg reported

1047
01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:04.800
that AT and T has paid the
hackers to erase the stolen data. Casey

1048
01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:09.720
okay, and I'm sure they'll not
make a backup, So we got that

1049
01:34:09.760 --> 01:34:13.920
going for us. Thank you very
much, sir, appreciate it. Jeff

1050
01:34:13.960 --> 01:34:17.880
Bellinger there, Bloomberg News. All
right, Oh, I mentioned this just

1051
01:34:17.920 --> 01:34:21.680
because I got a I got a
shoehorn in stories that aren't related. Although

1052
01:34:21.720 --> 01:34:27.760
since this took place in Dallas,
I guess there's like a small connection since

1053
01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:32.000
you know, it's presidential assassination week
here on the show. But apparently the

1054
01:34:32.279 --> 01:34:36.640
big old Hooters in downtown Dallas.
Yeah, that thing burst into flames,

1055
01:34:36.720 --> 01:34:44.319
man, Now it appears the customers
and staff are able to get out of

1056
01:34:44.319 --> 01:34:50.079
there. Let's see, there was
one firefighter who I think suffered some minor

1057
01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:55.760
injuries trying to put the fire out
on if it's it looks like some sort

1058
01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:59.640
of physical thing along with smoke in
elation. So I don't know, have

1059
01:34:59.840 --> 01:35:03.600
some that collapsed or whatever. But
yeah, So if you're headed to Dallas

1060
01:35:03.640 --> 01:35:08.800
and you were all pumped to go
get some chicken wings downtown, not gonna

1061
01:35:08.800 --> 01:35:12.239
be possible, not for a little
while. Oh what are they now?

1062
01:35:12.359 --> 01:35:16.159
What about the displacement of the staff
there? You know, we we went

1063
01:35:16.720 --> 01:35:21.960
we opened up our hearts a few
weeks ago here on this show when we

1064
01:35:23.039 --> 01:35:29.640
learned that forty different Hooters locations were
gonna be shut down, offering up excess

1065
01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:35.399
space for any displaced waitresses. Unfortunately, I don't have room for a kitchen

1066
01:35:35.439 --> 01:35:42.199
staff, but you know, a
place to crash anything like that. We

1067
01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:47.399
started this charitable endeavor, and I
feel like this charitable endeavor can also perhaps

1068
01:35:47.520 --> 01:35:55.640
aid in this situation. So we're
here for you. Just wanted every I

1069
01:35:55.680 --> 01:36:00.239
just wanted you to know that that's
a that's the kind of show we run

1070
01:36:00.279 --> 01:36:04.560
around here, very giving a right
a few things I want to leave you

1071
01:36:04.600 --> 01:36:08.840
with. I am going to be
very interested to see if we get any

1072
01:36:08.880 --> 01:36:15.560
sort of explanation on why the MSNBC's
morning program just was randomly off the air

1073
01:36:15.680 --> 01:36:24.119
yesterday. No explanation given. Some
would say that there are shining examples on

1074
01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:30.800
the Morning Joe Roster there in history
of some you know, some language that

1075
01:36:30.840 --> 01:36:35.199
I'm that were now being told is
extremely troubling. So could that have factored

1076
01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:40.960
in. Perhaps maybe I don't know, but it's just strange, or maybe

1077
01:36:40.960 --> 01:36:45.359
they had technical issues. I don't
Are they broadcasting live from the RNC,

1078
01:36:45.039 --> 01:36:47.920
And if they are, then maybe
it was just due to the fact that

1079
01:36:47.960 --> 01:36:54.680
they're there, but nothing was really
going on in the morning yesterday. Either

1080
01:36:54.680 --> 01:36:57.640
way, they're back at it today, so hell if I know, And

1081
01:36:57.680 --> 01:37:00.199
if they've given an explanation, I
don't know what it is is because I'm

1082
01:37:00.279 --> 01:37:04.880
busy doing this thing. I know, I'd love to be able to sit

1083
01:37:04.920 --> 01:37:11.279
back and watch Morning Joe not really
rather stick to the john Wick have john

1084
01:37:11.319 --> 01:37:15.720
wickstick pencils in my ears. But
I am curious why they weren't there and

1085
01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:20.560
whether the msnbcs and CNNs of the
world really mean what it is that they're

1086
01:37:20.600 --> 01:37:26.399
saying, and the answer is I
don't know.
