It's for us right now. Got a message from Casey a little bit ago
saying, hey, man, I'm not feeling well. Talk to him on
the phone, and it is not good, not possible for him to go
on today. It's like something out of a horror film. So just some
quick election results from last night, because it is sort of like our super
Bowl morning, and then we're going to be going to a best of some
repeats, and I hope that's fine with you. Looks like presidential race,
No big surprise, Trump, big time over everybody. The most boring Super
Tuesday of my existence on this planet in the short time I've been here.
Not competitive, Honestly, it's been like that the entire election cycle. Like
I've never done primary season debates where it's been so obvious who the nominee is
going to be and it sort of makes our job easy and boring at the
same time. So Trump's seventy four to seventy five percent. I had people
asking me yesterday over text message friends I'm both the left and the right,
saying, what do you think the spread's going to be like sixty five percent?
Trump? I said, Nah, bro, I think it's going to
be higher, and that's what it is. Biden, of course getting the
nominee on the left side statewide looks like we're gonna have what we also thought,
once again predictable Mark Robinson, friend of the show on every other Wednesday
versus Stein. I do find it funny, but you have a segment of
the left that is like, you know, screaming free guys, pro hamas,
you know, shutting down roads, doing these protests. Yet they're going
out in droves, maybe voting for Stein. So I guess they don't see
the hypocripy shocker. People on the left don't see their own hypocrisy. That's
not a you know, an attack on Stein. My part of just saying
it's just something I've noticed that other people have pointed out to me as well.
He's already started calling Mark Robinson all the names in the books. If
you're like, hey, you know, Super Tuesday, the primary's done.
Now, all these stupid text messages and spam calls can stop coming on my
phone. Wrong, they're gonna keep coming. Also, US House District one
looks like Lourie Buckout taking out Sandy Smith, despite Sandy Smith's attacks on her,
saying that she was responsible for murdering all the branch Davidians. You know
what else, she killed baby Jessica and that well back in the day,
responsible for Ruby Ridge and also hiding the dress when it comes to Monica Lewinsky,
apparently people said, you know, these commercials, these spots are nuts
and we're voting for buck out anyway, so she wins there. What is
it? A US House District six looks like a runoff. I wass seeing
Mark Walker in front of the show talking about this earlier as well, between
him and Addison McDowell. So I believe that's going to a runoff. Another
funny thing I saw was the Libertarian choice for president. It's so indicative of
the party right now. This is America. No one tells us what to
do the winner and the libertarian side was no preference. It's just like,
hey, we don't care, just not those other two guys. So,
I mean, I thought that was funny, just a quick takeaway there.
So anyway, we're going to be coming back with the best of once again.
Casey is outsick. We will have Fox and Local News at the bottom
of the top of each hour with election results and updates and other House of
races. It is the case of da radio program. Blanton's heir, blumbing
and electric. Come in, Steven kent Are. I don't like to call
you NERD correspondent, but it's kind of stuck, sir, so you just
you know what NERD correspondent is. Just fine. My dad's been calling me
that since I was five. Okay, all right, cool, cool,
they're on the same page as the NERD correspondent. Tell me about the unknown.
I'm very curious about this new Willy Wonka character because I didn't see that
kind of dude. How great is Twitter right now? On that story.
I spent most of last night trying to explain this Willy Wonka Glasgow story to
both my wife and my daughter and explained just why it was so funny,
and I basically just landed on, you know, let's make candy like a
Mets lab in the middle of Scotland and try to get it to the kids
enjoyed. Well, there's so many elements, so like, that's a reference
to that beaker set in front of the umpa, the umpah, the one
who looks like she wants to like they should put a jump net behind that
woman's station because she looks miserable to be there. But the backstory is like
she thought the way Ross was explaining it to me because I didn't see I
didn't see that other post. But he's like she was told basically she was
going to have like a Scrooge McDuck vault full of candy. Right, they
kind of could swim around in and and just be able to give it to
kids, which if you like kids, that's a pretty good gig, right,
And it was clearly that clearly wasn't happening. And then you find out
it's because the kids are over being absolutely terrified by a combination of I guess
the Willy Wonker actor. In fact, here we got some audio of this.
So the first red flag for me was when I was cast as Willy
Wonka. Anyone who looks at me and thinks Willy Wonka and not umpa lumpa
is out of their mind. I give off major rumpa lumper energy. I
got cast as the part on the Thursday, was told that I needed to
lend the script for the Friday, So all right, and they posit here,
and this is this is where this goes downhill, because way do you
hear how this script emerge that involved this character playing Willy Wonka, who is
a character that people are familiar with, and then the killer from Scream shows
up from behind a mirror or something. How did we get here? This
is the answer to that that problem? Send it over. The script was
fifteen pages monologue, pretty much of AI generated gibberish. One of my favorite
lines was there is a man who lives here. His name is not known,
so we call him the Unknown. The Unknown is an evil chocolate maker
who lives in the walls. What all right, it's another thing I haven't
been I you know what? You gave me flashbacks too. Do you remember
the the update to OZ? What was it? Back to OZ or whatever?
Oh? Yeah with the roller skate dudes, I remember that was that
was nightmare fuel for for kids, my era of kids. I mean,
this is this is still just like the Unknown. This blacked blacked out creature
is like a lost member of the band slipknot trying to be in an oopa
lupa territory. Pretty frightening. I watched that video. I would not go
to that show. No No, No, and the kid You can hear
the kids literally start to cry when when the character because they're kids and they
just now, all of a sudden there's a demon appearing, Yeah, a
baba duke, and and they were what were they charge of their charge for
forty five bucks to get in there? I mean, what like Fire Festival
all over again? No, like, at least Fire Festival was in a
fun destination, right, you know you're in the Caribbean, you got that.
I mean, yeah, there's packs of wild dogs and people are tweeting
how do I make a spear? And that sucks, but you know,
at least at least it's sunny and nice. You're just in his gloomy gym
and we don't want to take your kids for a day out inside a dank
warehouse. No, no, I I well, actually it's actually it is
a concert venue. I looked up the actual venue because it does it just
looks like it looks like an airplane hangar or something. But it's like it's
where they hold concerts and stuff in Glasgow there. So that's just dude,
it's it's provided some of the funniest entertainment that I've seen on Twitter, and
quite sometimes we need to laugh, we need to laugh. Well, I
think Ross Ross was on Twitter coming up, he was. He's realized you
can make a bunch of cash. You don't have to do anything with a
star trek wrestling combo things. So we'll see how that pans out here on
us soil. But I do have to will buy the first ticket? Well
yeah, and then you'll also be the first person to testify at the fraud
trials that going for you? All right, let me slip over to just
a couple other things here. I see this as moonbat on moonbat violence.
We use the term moon bat around here, but leftists on leftist violence.
So I'm fine with it. But Disney Plus is Star Wars spinoff called The
Bad I haven't watched The Bad Batch, right, so I don't know.
I don't know if it's good or not. I guess maybe you can fill
me in there. However, one of the composers who contributed to the show
in the credits was dead named right using the old pre transition name, and
people lost the crap over this, and x account highlighted it. It goes
viral. Now the social justice guys are screaming at Disney, and it's like,
you know what this is? The audience Disney clearly wants or at very
least many of their content creators clearly want right. So this is what you
get, am I is that too cynical? You do get what you deserve.
Now, I'll give you a little bit of backstory a the Bad Batch
animated series that takes place right after Star Wars Episode three. So it's the
very beginning of the Rise of the Empire. It's a fine show. It's
completely forgettable, but it is not bad. And the score is done by
the Kiner family. So these are three composers, Kevin Kiner, Sean Kiner
and the son Dean Kiner. All three of them do Star Wars scores together.
They did the Ahsoka show, They've done parts of Star Wars, the
Clone Wars, and now they did the Bad Batch together. Now Dean Kiner
is now Deanna Kiner as transgender and is now identifying as a woman, and
so the credits here. Still it's really remarkable that they did this, because
it had to have been a clerical error marked Deanna Kiner down as Dean Kiner.
And so Daughters of Ferrix and some lefties on Twitter have completely lost their
minds and taken upon themselves to be aggrieved by this, which you know,
I just kind of find kind of bizarre because you would think that Deanna Kiner
and the Kiner family would pretty much just handle this themselves, and they probably
were going to without the daughter Sepharics or whatever. They are basically claiming the
scalp of Jennifer Corbett, who heads the show, as a victory. But
yeah, but is it okay that I go good? Right? And because
it makes me feel a little bad, And you're right, this doesn't seem
to be elevated by Kiner. It's obviously people on the periphery. That being
said, details, especially when talking about Star Wars stuff, you know,
people will fight over minute details for well they still do you know the who
shot first? Thing? Right? This is it's not going to escape scrutiny,
even if it is a clerical error. So I'm not surprised that it
got escalated. Now, that's right. You build the audience that you deserve,
and Disney has gotten themselves an audience that just completely hounds them and drags
their production crews over the coals anytime they make any kind of error as far
as leftists are concerned on Twitter, and the biggest mistake that they make is
they continue to talk back to them. What they need to understand at some
point is that you don't work for these people, the activists on Twitter.
So you know, Jennifer Corbett, who heads up the Bad Batch did respond,
as well as the Disney Help Disney Plus helpline, which is just kind
of bizarre. But Jennifer Corba mentioned that it was a clerical error and they're
going to fix it. And I'm guessing now she's going to start asking for
forgiveness before they call for her ousting from Disney altogether. Do you think Disney
would No, I don't think so. I think somebody just made a mistake
somewhere in the production lines. But you know, the thing about the far
left fans of Star Wars who live on Twitter and harass the staff and crew
all day is that at some point they always tend to listen to these people
just so that they can make them go away. But I've got a tip
for Disney, which is the mute button. I've been using it generously this
morning on this very subject. Yeah. No, it's a big fan of
that. In fact, I've been doing a lot of it because I'm i
am I'm at my wits end on people dumping content into the threads of another
unrelated post just because it's high profile, right, So it's like it'll be
some here's a news story, and then there's you know, it's it's engagement
farming, and it's annoyed. And I just I've I've turned into the old
man on Twitter where I just start I just block it or mute these accounts.
Now I'm just done with it. Stephen Kent for all things entertainment,
to the intersection of entertainment and politics, that seems to be where we lie.
Although I was laughing during the break as something you tweeted out about a
half hour ago. Steven, you're exactly right on the Mitch McConnell's sub headline.
They've been sitting on that thing forever. Move Mitch, get out of
the way. Yeah, ri Ip, I'm disappointed to to learn that he's
actually not stepping down till November. I got too excited about the headlines of
Mitch mcconnald's departure, and now I saw the fine print of November and kind
of like Joe Biden, I'm like, wait, this guy is gonna make
it that long. I don't think, So, you know, and there
is going There is a a significant amount of upheaval and change coming the way
of Republicans, both elected as well as the party apparatus, obviously with McDaniel.
Uh, And I guess you have what two or three resignations coming up
within the RNC and Mitch McConnell, and I guess we will see what emerges
there and whether we find it more palatable. You know, we saw it
with the Speaker of the House, the McCarthy thing, and I guess I
would ask many of the people who really wanted him out, do you feel
like it's going better with the new guy? And I don't know the answer
to that, especially when it comes to things like that whole funding debacle that
had border stuff and they didn't have border stuff, So I don't know.
That's what do you what do you think? Do you think you think there's
a little buyer beware on these force changes or do you think it's a good
thing. Well, what I am certain of is that whoever places Mitch McConnell
will probably be named John John something will be the news Speaker of the House.
That's a pretty good bet. John John Cornyn, Senate, Yeah,
Yeah, Senate minority or majority leader to thank you. That's the only thing
we can be sure of. Okay, all right, well I guess I'm
not in that lottery, so I'll move on. I saw this yesterday.
I like both the both the actors so and it's always interesting to think this
out Alan rich And and if you guys out there don't know, he is
the new Jack Reacher and arguably the much better Jack Reacher. I have enjoyed
the series there. However, he was doing an interview with Men's Health and
at one time he was up to play four in the MCU, which he
said he didn't take it seriously. He was told it was his to lose,
but he didn't. He just and I guess maybe if you think about
the time frame in which you're trying to evaluate, hey, is this going
to be a big deal, you really only have iron Man to go on
and him not getting it. Eventually the part goes to Chris Hemsworth, and
I again, I like both actors, but I don't know that Thor could
be Thor with Alan or Richan And any better than Helmsworth was. Yeah,
No, I don't think so. I was actually watching these audition tapes from
the early end you the other day when I saw this article go up,
and it's it's just always interesting with actors who they think that they are cut
out to play when they go into an audition, and then who they actually
end up being cast as. Because Tom Hidleston, who ended up playing Loki,
he was trying out for Thor, and it's it's impossible to imagine a
guy is kind of wiry and snake looking as Tom Hiddleston, who's perfect for
a deceptive villain like Loki being in the armor of Thor. And Chris Hemsworth,
I mean, I don't know, I guess his audition like he didn't
take it seriously either. It was a goofball audition, but goofball, tall,
dashing, strong, that is kind of what Thor is all about.
But you know, then you've got people like Chris Pratt who ended up playing
star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, and he's coming off of, you
know, being type cast as the guy in the office and for him to
try to break out of that rut and get his career restarted as an action
hero, that must have been the most intimidating audition you could possibly imagine,
because nobody like because he was still working on Parks or Parks and records,
but he was still working on that, and he said, I'm the chubby,
funny guy, and he was talking about how he had to literally transition
from a health standpoint to do it. So obviously he did take that very
seriously. And again, these are characters you can't imagine other people playing.
As much as I like Richen and Jack Reacher, I don't think he could
have pulled off Dad bod Thor and you know, that whole series of events
because that's all about really comedy at that point. Yeah, I think that's
where the fat suit comes in handy for the people who are not going to
be like lifestyle career actors. And I do I do like Richen, but
I just don't see him in that kind of way. That guy takes fitness
way too seriously. But you know, it does remind me of like how
you know, when you get a roll at completely changes your life. And
I think about Star Wars often and all the people who auditioned in the early
aughts of Star Wars, like Kurt Russell, who was going, you know,
in the in the running to be Han solo as well, as Burt
Reynolds like. These are people whose lives would have been completely upended and changed.
Their legacy is completely different if they had gotten those roles whose coverage for
election results. At the top and bottom of each hour, Lorie Buckout winning
her race. Here she is calling the show a few days ago. Hey,
good morning, how you doing. I'm pretty good, Lri buck Out.
Yeah, yeah, it's uh. You guys got a doozy going on
over there, easily the most the most ads I think we have running on
the show. I got to ask you just because I have you, and
in fact, I'm going to do this with audio. I want to know.
Let me slip over to my button bar. Here here we go.
All right, So this is an ad that's currently being run by a pack.
Is it the Rolling Seas Pack? Well, we'll find hold on,
I got it in the ad here. I just want to know why you
murdered all the branch Davidians. Hang on it? Right? So here we
here, hold on, here we go. All right, here's the spot.
But I no, seriously, I do want to ask you about this
because this is one of the things that's out there. But here's the spot
and just emerged about Laurie Buckout's role pushing Democrat propaganda for the Clinton white House.
We now know that liberal Laurie not only applied for the Clinton job,
but the Clinton White House bedded and selected personnel very carefully. Liberal Lourie worked
with the Clintons for three years. During that time, her office was accused
of covering for the Clintons and was cited by congressional investigators for holding back information
about the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the Waco murder House. Oh that's right,
you hit the dress too, all right, So no, but but seriously,
people hear all of this stuff out there, and you know, everything
is like what when you look into it? A lot of times it's you're
getting part of the story. But it is an ad and I understand that.
But the reality is, this is what is the most common thing I
hear that you served within the Clinton White House or during the administration and as
a result, you're way too moderate and you came down here just a god,
But no, is there is there truth even during the I guess the
time you were working there. I mean, what's going on here? Oh?
Man? You know, at first off, I want to say,
that's just sick and unhinged, and that the woman could not be more desperate.
And it's kind of sad when you're going after you know, frankly,
you're going after a decorated combat vet in the veteran but here so I'll explain
the deal on that. It is disgusting though. So bottom line is the
military serves a whole lot of people and you'll see them everywhere. So back
in the nineties, I got selected to serve with the White House Military Office.
So here's what they do. The folks who fly Air Force one,
they're all Air Force. They work for that office. All the folks who
fly the Marine Helicopter Squadron for the President, they're all with that office.
The drivers that drive staff around are with that office. The folks who work
the National Security Council, and they're all folks in uniform, and they're all
a political The millaid who carries the football, the nuclear football. I mean,
you know, there are five military aids, and I was a backup
to those. As a matter of fact, of something would happen, we
would step up and take care of that. But your job is to serve
the commander in chief. So it was actually like a big deal to be
selected for that. And the communications you do are telecommunications. You do phone,
radio, emergency backup, making sure that the president can access nuclear relase
if he needs to. Right, we provide communications to the Secret Service,
Like if you see them walking around talking into their sleeves, we do all
the radios for that to make that they can talk and protect the president,
the commander in chief. So telephones, radio, I mean, all that
sort of stuff. Even drivers are provided by the military. But a couple
of things. Number One, I'm a lifelong Republican. My first vote ever
was for Ronald Reagan. Voted nothing but Republican ever since then. Number Two,
you are prohibited strictly by law from behaving in any political in any political
way when you are inside the White House working for the Commander in Chief and
his staff. Number Three, I wasn't even there when Monica Lewinsky was there.
I was there before that. I don't even know what that's about.
Number four, it's a four year tour. I left a year early because
I was so disgusted by the corruption in the White House that you just see
even though you're not a part of it. So in fact, a lot
of folks did it was a very unpopular assignment to have. We thought it
was going to be George Bush going in and you were proudly serving a good
conservative commander in chief. But we saw a lot of corruption and I hated
it, so we left a year early. So you know what, though,
I don't give anyone who's in a White House serving in that job a
hard time, because it's a proud thing to do, to serve the commander
in chief, if he's honorable, and you're doing a lot of stuff,
you know. You know Dan Bongino, Yeah, yeah, I do that,
ring a bell. Yeah, And I knew him as a secret Service
guy, but yes, yes, so secret service guy who no doubt served
a bunch of Democrats and Republicans because he had a career, right right.
I saw him on Obama him, there's pictures, there's pictures of him obviously
holding the car door for Obama. So yeah, that's right, it's I
mean, it's just part of the job, you know. So do you
hate him for that? Well, but I would point out that mister Vinman,
I mean in the same capacity, right, was serving in it well,
but serving in a military capacity, and that's you couldn't call that un
partisan. So that that's why I asked these questions. And so now let
me let me tell you what. Nope, but you're right and that Vinment'
a nasty guy probably might even be a member of Congress. You're pretty quick,
right because but all right, so the knock, the knock on the
I'll get to the positive stuff here in a moment, But the knock is
that your your short, short residency in North Carolina. I know that some
people that we have a lot of transplants. That's generally a campaign issue.
I saw that they were floating video from a traffic stop with you, So
it seems like all we've heard about is is the background there. And I'll
let you respond to any of that. But I'm kind of curious whether it's
you or Sandy or whomever gets in there, what they're going to do because
historically the first district has been a ready blue check and we have a much
more competitive race. So why with all of those things that people may have
questions about, do you still feel that you're the superior candidate? I feel
on a spirit of the candidate because all the things that are going on about
me are untruth or have truths just straight out lies from a desperate opponent.
Now, I want to tell you this is her fifth run from public office.
She's currently over four. A new ad just came out from a pack
called Rolling Seas, and we found out about it because the radio station called
us and said, hey, we're fixing to run this this ad here.
It's a twenty nine thousand dollars buy. I just heard it on another radio
station. It's paid for by Democrats and it's for Sandy and against me,
So have a listen for it. At the end, it says paid for
by Rolling Seas pack and they are supporting Democrats and Don Davis, and they
want him to take on Sandy in the fall because she's lost to him.
Once lost a Butterfield. Before that, she took on Tilla', she took
on Greg Murphy. And she just seems to be desperate to somehow get into
office. And I think she's going to be like the dog that caught the
car if she ever does. She has no record of success in her entire
life. I served, and might you know I served my country. I
raised a healthy, happy family, been married to my husband for twenty nine
years, who's a West Point graduate and a great guy, and I started
a business that she's actually called a war profit here, and it was a
business to stop the soldiers from getting blown up by IEDs. We saved countless
lives. I will never apologize for that, and I'll never apologize for running
a successful business that gave over one hundred folks great jobs. And you know,
a business person, you pay yourself last, and I did. And
my friends know how we struggled those first years of me paying myself last and
making sure all my folks had a paycheck, a good paycheck and benefits.
So you know, I mean, yeah, I'll ask you, I'll ask
I'll ask your opponent this as well. But just h with the nature of
the ads that are going back and forth. If the if the voters tomorrow
say the person we want running is Sandy or they write somebody in, I
guess, are you still going to get out there? And because this is
an important congressional seat for Republicans right everything's razor thin right now, and the
ability to potentially flip this is a big deal. So how do we make
sure that the primary doesn't kill the ability in the general for Republicans to get
that seat? Well, you know what, I think Republicans have to come
together and support the winner. Frankly, I think my opponent has integrity challenges.
It will be very hard for me to do that. But we have
to flip this seat. It's going to be very difficult for me, frankly,
because I you know what, an officer doesn't lie to you, ter
steal or tolerate those who do. And it's going to be hard. Well,
and and again, I'll because I'm sure we've talked to Sandy during their
last run, you'll probably call it. I'll ask for the same same question
there. What's your website, Laurie, It's Lori buck Out l A U
R I E b U C K H O U T for congress dot com.
Okay, all right, so the h and there. I just want
to remind folks they're googling it. Yeah, God only knows was some of
the weird stuff we've seen in congressional races and fake websites. Now, so
all right, I'll also take a look at the Rolling Seas pack which is
supporting Sandy. Okay, all right, well, we got it out there
and I'll be listening for it and others should as well. Laurie appreciate the
time this morning. Okay, thank you. Super Tuesday yesterday mentioned this before,
the most boring Super Tuesday in the history of my existence. It's been
the most boring primary in the history of my existence. I know many of
you have been on this earth longer than I have, but I'm saying not
competitive even the debates. This is the first year really where we didn't really
pay super attention to the debates like we typically do because it was obvious who
was going to win. Some would say, well, what about the Scotis
verdicts. You know, you didn't know how that was going to turn out
when it comes to keeping Trump off the ballot or the fourteenth Amendment, And
how can you say that he can't be in the ballot because of insurrection?
But he's never been charged with insurrection. So I think you're like, how
could scotus people on the left, how could scot has come to this,
you know, a unanimous decision. Well, I think that's pretty much why
so Trump walking away with seventy four seventy five percent of the vote yesterday,
absolutely dominating Nicky Hayley had to be sitting back yesterday going what am I doing?
I guess the strategude. Nicki Hayley had to be maybe thinking the Scotis
decisions would go a different way, thinking Trump would have to drop out at
that point. She's the only other one with delegates, so she would be
the nominee. But I'm not seeing that. I'm also seeing some okay,
I'm seeing whispers online of people saying that maybe Nicky Hayley is going to be
Biden's running made or something, which is I don't know what you're smoking.
But back in my day when I when I would participate in some of that,
I would I would take part, be like, give me whatever you
have because it's super strong. I'm on the ceiling right now. What is
going on? I can't feel my feet. Statewide looks like once again we
thought this was going to happen. It's going to be Mark Robinson, a
big friend of the show, big wrestling fan, love Mark. He's going
to be going against Josh Stein And I pointed this out last hour. There
does seem to be some sort of hypocrisy here where you have people shutting down
streets and you know, screaming pro Palestine and their pro Hamas and free Gaza.
Yet they're going out in droves and voting for Josh Stein. But I
doubt they see the hypocrisy there in their actions because they're members of the left
and that is what they do. They're profess they've gone pro, they're professionals.
At it. US House Distard one. Buck Out beating Sandy Smith despite
all the attack hats. I have never and I said this before. I
said this to Lori buck Out. She called the show randomly. One was
it on Monday? She called up to be on we had we did not
have her schedule. She just called up the show on our open lines for
candidates. And I told her, I've never seen attack ads like the ones
were Sandy Smith. When you have attack id saying Lori Buckout was responsible for
the Waco murders. What that's insane? Like that nothing against Sandy Smith,
but that just seems completely unhinged. You know what's next? Like Ruby Ridge
Lourie buck Out shaved down the gun at Ruby Ridge and called the Feds.
You know what I mean? Like, what are you talking about, dude?
So anyway, Buckout wins that race. US House District six, Addison
McDowell and Mark Walker looks like they're going to a runoff. I saw Mark
Walker talking about this before an ex saying he hopes is this time. I
guess the runoff will be in May, right, he's hoping for a debate.
Also, US House District thirteen looks like Kelly Dawtry twenty seven percent to
Brad Notts nineteen percent. Every time I heard Bradnoughts commercials, I swore they
were saying bred Knots. I was like, man, I need some olive
guard, Like right now, it's a ten to Italian cuisine and the chefs
are trained in Tuscany. I don't mean to poor shame y'all, but if
you haven't tried it, you should. So I think that race is also
going to runoff because I'm not seeing a check mark and any of those names
there. This is on Ril. I've also seen on ABC eleven and also
coming from Kyle Wilson in news too, it looks like, yeah, so
I think that might be a runoff as well. Anyway, we're going to
have updates more of them at the top and bottom of each hour Fox and
Local News with election results. Once again, CaCO Da sick today, not
doing well, So we're going to be playing the best of the rest of
the hour, and listen, I can hear some of you saying, how
is this possible that he could be out sick today? Listen, man,
we have been interviewing politicians for two days straight. What do you think is
going to happen? This is a natural reaction. If anything, this shows
that his body is completely fine and is reacting in a natural way. It's
your body's way of defending itself. Like I can't take any more of this.
I'm now just going to spill my guts out on the floor. So
anyway, more of the best of coming up once again. Election results at
the top and bottom of each hour. It's ross infocacy. In the Cacudaverdy
program, Michael Barlow is the lead line of the story from WRIO. Michael
Barlow is excited to graduate from brad In High School. Okay, dreams of
becoming a lawyer. I mean, if that's what you want, feel free.
However, the senior is already facing Oh, the self proclaimed activist is
ready for the challenge. So this is the first paragraph. So dude wants
to be a lawyer. It's a high school kid. That's fine. Whatever
I make, you know, I'm making lawyer jokes, but sure, sure
the FAM would be proud. That's cool. But then the next line,
the self proclaimed activist says he's ready for the challenge. However, the senior
is already facing a very different challenge, racism. Here we go to the
audience and high school senior Michael Barlow received multiple direct messages on Instagram using the
word. One part of the message says Barlow is quote an enemy of white
people. The next message says, quote, I seriously want to hang you
from a tree, then tells him not to come to school. Despite the
threats, Barlow still showed up for class today today. I didn't have to
do any fighting. My brown community definitely circled around me, and they told
me that they didn't stand with what was said. Right, Okay, And
look, here's the deal. Nobody. I shouldn't say nobody. Most people
don't stand with what was said or typed or allegedly typed. Most people don't
stand with that, And arguably there is a possibility that the author doesn't necessarily
think that either. And I will be abundantly clear, I don't have tolerance
for that in any way, shape or form, not because I feel like
I need to go on the record, but because common sense would dictate that
that's not where most people are at. And I don't know this kid.
I don't know how he conducts himself, his relationships at school, any of
that. That being said, not a fan and he shouldn't have to deal
with that. And even though I don't like anyone who claims they're going to
be an activist, and I don't care which side, I just feel like
as a high school student, you got enough going on then I don't know
about that. However, again, I find it very interesting because people under
the cloak or the guys of anonymity on the Internet saying things that either they
do believe or don't, but they say something shocking to get a reaction is
not a unique concept. I don't know that you'll ever fully eliminate it,
because you're dealing with immaturity, you're dealing you know, you're dealing with kids,
and that's understandable. But I don't know that people need to officially go
on the record, as I would feel, you know what I'm saying,
where everybody's got a everybody's got a way in like maybe somebody has beef with
with this individual for any number of reasons. It doesn't have to migrate to
that, and it shouldn't. But also it's not a unique circumstance where somebody,
through anonymity, uses it to bully or entertain themselves in a very twisted
manner. Right, It's not a unique situation, is what I'm saying.
So that's what's got me head scratching as to why this required the top of
the old news coverage that I saw. But with that in mind, let
me hit the second piece of audio here give you a little more detail on
this particular story. Sounds like probably would be able to get to the bottom
of this, right. Somebody on social media, even if they're using a
false name, there's going to be indicators within the account, who they follow,
who they interact with, should be able to get to the bottom of
this. Right. From what we've heard from the school, they believe that
it's one person behind the account itself. This unproclaimed activist has dreams of going
to law school. I guess I was getting made fun of for wanting to
go to law school and wanting to go to an accredited school. I don't
really see how that's something for me to be ashamed of. Right, let
me just point this out. It's not I mean, although, to be
fair, you may be wasting your money depending on what exactly you're hoping to
accomplish, but you can't ged your way into a you know, a lawyer's
certificate or a degree, so you're going to have to do something. But
you know, also to some extent, you know, some kids are crabs
in a bucket, man, Some kids are crabs in a bucket, and
they're going to make fun of it. But a lot of it. A
lot of times there's more to the story, meaning like, are the people
who are making fun of you over that the very same people that maybe you
have pre existing beef with? Okay, do you know what I'm saying?
Where Like, ultimately their attention span isn't going to be enough to hate you
permanently over it, but they're just looking for something to say. But I'm
more interested in the social media stuff. Right. The school's telling you it's
one person, but I don't know they're indicating they know who that person is.
How did we to one person? Tell me more? I search for
the social media account myself. It appears to have been taken down. The
school says it's investigating the incident. A message was sent to Broaden High School
families this morning. It says, quote students involved in making racist comments and
or threats will be disciplined in accordance with district policies. Instances of race and
threats of physical harm have no place in our school community. By the way,
over the years, I have been sent dozens and dozens of screenshots by
parents whose kids have received pretty horrific messages, and quite a few of them
have had a racial component, albeit one that is perhaps reverse from the situation
that the media tends to cover. Right where they threatened to quote murder your
cracker ass, which is one that I got I don't know two months ago
where, and it was part of a string of messady and by the way,
it was from an identified account and specifically from a student at Millbrook High
School who is a white student. And I know this because the student threatening
him kept referring to him as white. But with that weird spelling, the
whyt thing right wholly inappropriate and didn't really seem to draw a lot of attention
from school officials up there. I don't think we did the story, but
I did see the text messages and again went to an identified account. Here
we're dealing with an account that one doesn't seem to exist anymore. And two
is described as let's see here a new Instagram account with one follower, which
is not there anymore. And uh, it was the focus story by one
of our news outlets. And isn't that's interesting? I guess either way to
say, do you know what I mean Ross when I say that that's interesting?
Kind of interesting? Yeah, because a singular user social media account is
unfortunately the bane of the social media existence, right, people use it.
You know. Obviously It's different from the way that they bullied or said things
when I was in high school, when many of you were as well.
We just didn't have access to this. But that being said, I don't
know how you begin to turn this into a a top tier story with a
single you know, with an incident from a single use Instagram account and you
don't have some questions. But I would say the official position at least of
me, is I I hope they solved this. Ross. Do you hope
they solved this I beat up about it. I hope they really investigate it
and expose whoever's behind it. Yeah, yeah, they need to do a
deep dive and really figure this out and not stop until they figure out who
is behind that account, and whoever it is, they need to broadcast and
show it to everybody. Yeah, good person, Yes, yes, you're
going to do a story. You know, You're absolutely right. They should
put in the work, figure out who it is, and then once you
know who it is, you should broadcast it with the same vigor and intensity
as this story is is is what what we hope. So I don't know,
make what you will of the story, but I felt that a single
now taken down Instagram account with one one follow were I'm curious and by the
way, whomever it is should also be punished. Would we agree with that?
Whoever you find to be the account holder should face whatever the adjudication.
And you would think it wouldn't be the hard to figure out who's behind that
account. Maybe or maybe you'll never know. I think there's is there's some
coming up next week, isn't there? Trying to put my calendar together?
Here? Are you? How's the Groundhog day? Would laugh at that?
Yeah, yeah, not Saint No, Saint Patty's that's a few weeks.
Yeah. St Patrick's Day, that's it. I wish, but no,
it's uh, it's an election. I don't know how your ad load looks
down there, but we've got some we have. We have some fiery contests,
uh that I hear during my spot blocks. But it's uh, it's
an interesting primary season. We talked, we actually talked a little about them,
Mark Walker and uh Costelli stuff with the They keep saying AI deep fake,
but it almost sounds like somebody doing an impression of him. Are you
super plugged in on this? I know, I don't. I don't know
if I did. It creeps down. I looked at it yesterday. Yeah,
I looked at it yesterday, and isn't Castelli also accused of like re
re upping a bunch of endorsements that aren't current. I saw somebody say something
about that on Twitter. I pay so little in I pay so little attention
to the endorsements, to be honest with. Yeah, yeah, I did
see somebody alleging that, But I admit that I haven't. I haven't dug
into it. And I would also point out that even though we actually,
yeah, we had Mark Walker called in. We were talking about this show
yesterday. On the show yesterday, you know, are you with him?
Well, yes, it's because what I did is I asked him to create
an image of a white family and he was able to do it. So
it was the joke that we used. But yeah, you know that is
that is the that is the nightmare of right where everyone says this is going
to go And then you couple that with the this weird parody thing they're doing,
the Mark Rotten Rottenson. I know, if you're familiar with this,
I have not seen Mark Rottenson. This is billboards. They got billboards,
and basically it is you know what it is. It feels like what they're
trying to do to Mark Robinson, the Tina Fey thing with the I can
see you know, I can see Russia from my front porch. It's they
they it's a parody of him. And it does use some of the quotes
that obviously draw the ire of so many in the media, but there's also
quotes that are wholesale made up and so and then it's well, well it's
all you know, it's all parody. Don't worry about it. And I'm
sitting there and I believe that Ril's analysis was they just refer to it as
quote controversial, And I'm like, right, you guys stuck a dude in
jail for seven months over a Hillary meme, right, because it was the
end of democracy. You went and got you went and docks with the help
of Facebook, a black forklift driver over a slowed down Nancy Pelosi video that
was clearly meant to mock her. Why is this just, oh, it's
controversial. I mean that sounds like what they were jailing people for six months
ago. Well, I think there's a very clear standard for people who are
not aware. The standard is it's different when democrats do it. That's the
that's the key to always remember, right that when they mock somebody, makeup
stuff, you know, do parodies quote unquote, like all of that stuff
is totally fine if they're doing it. If they're it's being done against them
with the mockery and the joke telling at their expense, that is the threat
to democracy and that has to be eliminated for the democracy to survive and for
free speech to be protected, they have to curtail the free speech that mocks
them. Okay, So very clear for people who do parody, uh and
white you heard the white rule. Voters are the Bane of America. Right,
I have heard that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have heard
that, and I'm I am kind of curious that that was any other.
Look. I got into a fight yesterday on the air with an emailer over
uh, you know, of course, you know, oh, you're a
racist because I'm talking about the story that the that the Assembly did about Josh
Stein having a problem with black people, as you did you see this story,
Yes, Scien's got a problem with black people. And so I was
just doing the story and and then I get attacked by a member of the
audience who then of course says he's never going to listen again because you know,
I'm a racist, and yeah yeah, And I'm like, well,
then why are you listening to a racists radio show? Like why would you
do that? And and then of course he's like, I'm never going to
listen again. But you know, when you speak of the demographic generalities right
there, there is truth in those u in those demographics and in the generalities.
That's why they exist, right, that's why we know of them.
For example, I'm sure you saw this came out but a day or two
ago, where they broke down single women, single men, married women,
married men and educated. All of that, yeh, right, In every
demographic votes Republican except for one, which is single females, which is you
remember the Life of Julia, right that we all mocked and made fun of
when Obama's team put it out, talking about this little cartoon figure Julia and
how she relied on the government from cradle to grave, and we all thought
that was the most absurd thing, But it actually resonated with a certain demographic,
and that demographic is the most reliable votes for Democrats in addition to black
voters. Right, So when talking about demographic realities, these things do matter,
right, The generalities do matter. Now, all of that being said,
if you were talking about roal white voters in a way that with or
should say you're talking about say, black urban voters like you're talking about roal
white voters, I suspect there might be a bit of a different reaction from
the Democrats and the media. But I repeat myself in the way that you
are demonizing an entire group of people as the cause for all of America's problems.
It's the it's the basket of deplorables again, yeah, and it obviously
it you know, it's a. It's a losing thing, right, and
which is why they tried so hard to do it to Romney right with that
video, because they realize they realize that it's a losing thing. And yet
this is the new white for agility. I'm told this book, right,
this is the must read among circles. And they say things like they're the
most xenophobic group, are they? I mean, are they the most But
and then but then they'll also say stuff like white rule voters are most represented
among white nationalists. Yes, yes, they probably are. Wait to hear
about who's overrepresented in the black nationalist movement. But when you delivered from that
direction, it's a combination of insane gas lighting, obvious statements, and seal
clapping on the part of Mika Brazinski and others who are going to help,
you know, get this narrative out there, all the while missing the forest
for the trees. So yeah, like these used to be their voters.
No, this used to be their voters. That's the kicker on it.
And they abandoned the Democrat Party because the Democrat Party lost sight of what they
were. No, no, no, it's red Rover and every change.
Yeah. So like so if you're sitting there and you're watching it, and
I played the audio this morning, and you're like, because it it gets
you, It gets you upset hearing it, right, because you're just like,
this is so blatantly not accurate and and once and racist, right,
And but on the other hand, like, is it such did they so
overshoot, you know, punch out their weight class that at the end of
the day it will have the same impact that when you do polling around what
happened down in Georgia is having among independent voters where this narrative, like from
John Pierria say that it's you know, it's the Republican's fault more than even
the guy who did it, Like that's resonating with voters. So it's like
the art of war, do you just you know, while your enemy's doing
it to themselves, don't you just step back? Or what? Yeah?
Well, And also it is a it's an example, it's a it's a
byproduct, right or the result of them not having much to run on in
the first place. Right, And this is why they're focusing on these types
of things. They will tell you what they're afraid of if you just listen
to them, right, and they are afraid that they are not going to
despite all of the efforts by our you know, youngest Democratic Party chair of
North Carolina around the country and all this, you know, the who doub
Apparently they made it a full time job for her, So I guess good
for her. But you know, she's talking about going around getting the rural
vote back for the Democrats. So yeah, the publication of this book is
probably not going to help. But there's also this really thick layer of the
virtue signaling, and there's got to be a way for these these progressive Bolshevik
leftist white Democrats to distance themselves from all of the other all of the other
white people. They don't want to be seen as being part of that group.
And so how do you You can't do it based on race, because
a white right, So how do you how do you virtue signal that I'm
better than these other white people. Well it's to say, well, they're
from the rural parts. So now rural is getting coded you know, as
different as I'm superior, I have better ethics. I'm down with you.
Now. The irony here is that I mentioned this this story at the Assembly
that was written by Dawn Battaglia and Jeffrey Billman that was talking about the attorney
general candidate in North Carolina. You know, white Democrat guy who's you know,
beating four black Democrats in the primary, and one of whom is a
you know, former state Supreme Court justice, right, and yeah, and
the whole top of the ticket looks like it might be white. And they're
very concerned about this. It's got black voters inside the Democrat party upset,
and you know, you got probably Mark Robinson that's going to be at the
top of the ticket, and people are worried that Robinson is actually going to
attract enough votes in the black demographic to undermine Josh Stein, who barely squid
by in his statewide races. And I think one of the things people in
the media are not really keyed in on is the effect that Robinson is having
by going to those churches for the last you know, I go years.
I think they're fully aware because that's where they scream the most bloody murder when
he shows up the one, right, that's where they pull the audio and
they run this and then they do this thing where they don't realize it.
They're not just demonizing him they're demonizing that whole congregation because in the videos the
congregation is cheering along. It's cheering right. Yeah. But here's the thing,
so they will promote those clips that are the most egregious in their minds,
the most controversial in their minds. But what we're not seeing is Robinson's
been doing this every weekend, you know, oh for yeah. So these
are just the clips that have come out. There have been what half a
dozen over four years? How many other church has he been to and he
been talking to? Where As you said, people have been cheering this stuff,
and I think there I think a lot of people are going to be
surprised if Robinson does get through the primary. I don't think they'll be surprised
at that. I think he's probably got the uh uh, the inside track
to win that. But then when he gets into the general, I think,
you know, they're gonna throw all of this stuff at him while trying
to say, you know, we're down for the struggle, we are the
best defenders of black North Carolinians versus this black guy who's been talking to the
churches. And I think there might be a bit more support, stronger support
for him coming out of those you know, culturally conservative types of churches that
that otherwise have voted for Democrats but are now starting to wonder what are we
actually getting for this support? And Pete, did you happen to see any
of the video of the president and former president both visiting the newcomers yesterday down
at the border? You see any I saw I saw President Yeah, I
saw former President Donald Trump waving to some people that were crossing the border that
were like Trump. Trump was funny man. Everyone lost him and Abbott and
he's waving and he turns and he says, like, you say they liked
me or something? Oh, yeah, He's like, they like Trump.
Well no, he doesn't say me Trump. That's right, right, right,
they like Trump? Can you believe it? They like Trump and the
governor too, Yeah, I mean they like there's a bother where he was
bocking them. It was like the example somebody who was so but hurt said
it would like, you know, when people are eating delicious food in front
of their pets but won't give them some. And I'm like, no,
no, they're both funny, if that's what you mean by that, But
no, that's that's not the same thing. And then try to go down
the hill. Yeah I didn't. Yeah, I didn't see Biden's trip to
Brownsville. I was because I thought that was mainly on a on an ice
cream finding mission. I assumed that they were there to figure out whether or
not there was you know, ice cream available at the border. So very
hot, very hot, so right, but you know, maybe I assume
he found some. I'm assuming he probably did. Although in Brownsville, they
there is a part of Brownsville where it's literally a double fence reember that golf
course and all that is if you've ever looked at on Google Maps, you
can kind of pick it. So they actually pull pulled him in there,
which is weird because that's where they took uh Kamlo when she came down,
and so you're in what is arguably physically one of the most secure parts of
the border because like most people wouldn't try to cross there because it's near population
and it's double fenced, and and that's what that's what he wandered around,
staring at so what that way. That's weird because I thought the Republicans were
preventing immigration, uh border security. I thought they had stopped all of the
border security they did. Yeah, right, despite Joe's protests and all of
his diligent efforts to make sure the border is secure for the last three years
by undoing everything that had secured the border. But apparently, yeah, I
thought Republicans, we're making America unsafe. So it's good again. But he
found one spot on the border that has some senses, right. And actually
they went so far as to say he's been working on this his whole career,
so you know, three years. But you know, back when he
was worried about racial school jungles this, Yeah, yeah, it was a
side hustle of his. So that would be that would be cause for removal,
would it not. I mean, I'm not saying impeachment or anything,
but for him to lose reelection. If you're claiming that you've been working on
this issue for what now, one hundred and seventy years he's been in DC,
then the fact that it is as bad as it is would indicate you
suck at your job. So you should not you should not remain up there
because you haven't been able to fix this problem for as long as you've been
up there. Is Royson for Casey at the moment because Casey's sick today.
I talked to him just before five o'clock and man, he's not feeling good
at all. I think we're all sort of like hungover right from election Day,
from Super Tuesday yesterday, so much going on, so many people excited
to vote, like for Mark. Robinson and Jones called the show good morning,
Casey all day. I feel like I'm in the presence of great and
it's how you do one. I'm pretty do you mean me or Ross,
mister? I'm telling you, yeah, you guys make my millennium. I
just want to tell you how much I appreciated, well, I appreciate that
b yes and greed yes. And I thought one time I was the most
parcastic person in the world until I listened to you, because I've been following
you since the days of case and Carmen. Oh well look, never stop
trying. You want to see the sarcastic bubble. We need more people like
us, so absolutely well, what I wanted to say this morning was I
went out to the post. I got up this morning at five o'clock to
make sure that I was the first person in line, and when I went
in, I had a nice to nice gentlemen on each side of one lady
in the middle, and they just naturally assumed that I was going to vote
Democrat. And they were like, well, my sister, I'm so glad
you're up this morning. Little did they know when I told them I was
unaffiliated, I was the only person in there. And she asked. She
says, well, you get the pick a party, and I says,
and I will be more than happy to pick my favorite party. And they
all started agreeming. I said, give me that Republican, that delegate quick.
Why did they assume me? Were you wearing blue? Is that what
it was? Oh? No, I'm a caregiver, so I was wearing
the glass so that yeah, okay. But needless to say, it was
amazing. And there were no people out there trying to, you know,
sir, the votes anything, because beyond a certain point, you couldn't do
any of that anyway, right right, We got a we got a guy
who we got I can never be first in my district because we have a
dude named Jerry or Gerald, I can't remember. But this dude brings donuts
and coffee for all the workers every year. I think that guy probably gets
five ballots so's he's only well, that's his thing. He's got to be
first every year. But it is, it is. It is interesting the
traditions there, but it was the process smooth for you. All that very
okay, absolutely absolutely well. I wanted to be the first one because I
thought it was very important, because there were three reasons I got up early
this morning. Number one to talk to you and Ross. Number two de
vote for Donald Chump, and number three for my name, Mark Robinson,
because we're gonna do this thing this year. What are your thoughts on the
boon, big beer, Emma Old what exactly when it puts you through the
absolute horror, as Colonel Kurtz would say of me for an entire show.
Some of you think that might be a good idea, I'm warning you it
would not. Would just result in me playing the Joe Dirt soundtrack for the
entire hour because they run out of things to say. I mean, personally,
I would think that would be like a top five radio show of all
time. Give us the Marconi right now, just put it right in front
of me. It's a great broadcast with some of you probably not A very
quick recap of Super Tuesday, Trump walking Away with a big time, bigley,
very bigly seventy four seventy five percent. That was pretty much, you
know, no brainer there. We knew that was going to happen. I
had people texting me yesterday, friends both on the left and both on the
right. Yes, I do have friends on the left. Don't judge me.
Try to be open minded, you know, try to be a good
person like that. And they're like, what do you think the spread is
going to be? Is Trump going to get up to sixty five percent?
I said it's going to be like seventy five eighty percent, So yeah,
Trump wins North Carolina. Nikki Haley, Meanwhile, have you ever done something
and you're like in the middle of it, You're like, why am I
still doing this? What is the point to this? Why am I doing
that? I remember before I got sober, I've been over five years sober
now, thanks to the grace of God, and I remember thinking like in
the middle of that, like why am I doing this? Why do I
keep drinking? I feel like Nicki Haley is the same way. I think
she's like addicted. She's like, I have to keep going. I have
to keep running because I need to somehow keep sending money to Ukraine and you
know, making the war worse over there. Maybe that's why she's in it.
She has an addiction problem. I don't know. She does walk away
with one state last name, what was it in New Hampshire. But yeah,
and also that Adam. Maybe she was staying in the thinking that Trump
wouldn't run because he wouldn't be on the ballot. But Scotus has you know,
nix that. So I mean because the theory there was she would stay
in have the delegates, so therefore she would be the nominee. But that's
not gonna happen statewide. Mark Robinson versus Josh Stein, that is set.
That is ready to go. Joshtin already called Mark Robinson, all the names
in the book that you can imagine. That is going to be a nasty,
dirty race. If you're like, oh man, I'm so excited,
Super Tuesday's gone. I don't have to worry about the text and the emails
and the phone call. Ha ha ha, you absolute fool, as Gilbert
Godfried would say. So that is set in stone Us House District one,
Laurie buck Out beating out Sandy Smith despite all of the negative crazy attack ads
saying she was like responsible for Waco and the Monica Lewinsky dress and absolute insanity.
US House District six. Looks like that's going to be a runoff between
friend of the show, Mark Walker and also Addison McDowell, also a friend
of the show. We had him on with Don Trump Junior just a few
weeks ago. It looks like that runoff is going to be in May.
Another funny thing I noticed was when it comes to the Libertarian choice for president.
Of course it's going to be Biden versus Trump replay of twenty twenty.
But on the Libertarian side, they had a choice to you know, pick
who you want to represent you. And this is so indicative of the party
they selected drum roll, no preference. You know, this is America.
No one tells us what to do. We're not gonna organize whoever. We
just don't want those other two guys. And I don't know I found that
funny anyway. It is ross Infocaseyes, not feeling well today. We apologize
for that. More election results, more detailed than I can of you top
and bottom of each howe we have Fox News and also local news of Kyle
Wilson, all that coming up and more of the best of on the Cacoday
radio program, a little radio chit chat from across the great state of North
Carolina. We got a few things to get into, all right. So
I was mentioning this book, right, and I've seen these flaw. I
don't even know when it comes out. If it comes out what next week
or something, or maybe came out this week, don't care. But you
know, just a a wonderful new novel that everyone in leftist circles is like,
this is it? This is the answer. So it's it's like the
new White Fragility or one of you know, the must read book. And
the authors of the book are on MSNBC. It's called White Rule Rage,
the Threat to American Democracy, And I just I want to play the audio
again of how they set it up, even making Mika Brasinski a little uncomfortable,
but just point by point, listen to the gaslighting here, and it's
it's just a and I chalk it up for these guys as this is just
this is just cash grab city, right, That's how cynical I am.
But the people who then read this, they they believe this, and it
shows you how much we are literally watching the same program, but think we're
watching two completely different programs. Right, That's it. That's the baffling part
of the political divide. You're just like, how does this person who likes
the same sports team I do have kids the same age maybe work with this
How do they see things so differently? But luckily, if you're one of
these hustler authors, you just decide everything is the the opponent's fault, even
when even when people who generally ideologically or are are along with you raise very
valid concerns or even themselves kind of questioned the narrative. And you're seeing that
with immigration, as much as the White House is trying to push this stuff
that you know it's all the Republicans fault. The vast majority of voters don't
believe that. And that is on both sides. You know that the majority
of voters believe this is on Democrats down there that they have the most culpability.
Is the way the question was answered this is that Harvard Harris Harris pol
from earlier in the week, the majority do think that Joe Biden did enrich
himself in unethical ways. And it's like forty percent of Democrats, Oh no,
no, No, the one is forty percent. I want to be
accurate here, forty two percent of Democrats, fifty percent of independence and like
eighty percent of Republicans think that the Trump court cases are politically motivated. And
people were shocked at that number, and I said, well, the follow
up question you need to ask is, then do you have a problem with
that, because you know people are going I don't believe that many Democrats will
one it's a Harvard hairspot. I mean that's like it tends to skew left
on most things that I've seen in my history with that poll. But also,
just because somebody thinks it is politically motivated doesn't mean they have a problem
with it. So that's the disconnect when people are analyzing it. But then
they bring these two on to pimp the book and just listen point by point
as we go through on joining us now professor of political science at the University
of Maryland, Baltimore County, Tomsheller, and journalists and opinion writer Paul Waldman.
Their new book out tomorrow is entitled White Rural Ray The Threat to American
Democracy, and Tom, We'll start with you, why are white rural voters
a threat to democracy. At this point, you would think, as we
pointed out, looking at Joe Biden's background and Donald Trump's, that the opposite
would be true. No, I mean, we play out the four fold
interconnected threat that white world voters post of the country, first of all,
and we show thirty polls in national studies to demonstrate this. So we provide
the receipts in chapter six. They're the most racist, xenophobic, anti immigrant,
and anti gay geodemographic group in the country. All right, let's and
there's a lot packed into point number one. Are they the most I'm just
going to see it on xenophobic because it is the thing, you know,
the cause of the day. Are they the most? Now, don't get
me wrong, it is it is fascinating to watch people across the political spectrum
really way in on how they you know, how they feel about Israel or
Zionist or Jews or however they wish to word it. It is very eye
opening. That being said that ain't just Billy Bob right there right For every
you know, for every quote unquote white rule voter who may post something online
that you feel is xenophobic, I feel like I could find you a few
others that ain't his neighbor if he catch them a drift. But all right,
a little bit of what about ism there. But you put it out
there that they are far and away the most and I just I don't know
that that's the case watching all of the protests and the insanity and the tearing
down of the flyers and stuff that ain't dude through the bowl in league.
Is that what I'm seeing? But okay, all right, continue, they're
the most conspiracy group, qewing on support and subscribers. Election denihalism, COVID
denihalism is scientific skepticism, Obama, all right, and do you want to
go on the conspiracy The thing is is, once you've weaponized it into you
know, the Russia collusion thing, and you've given it some official patina since
we like using that word. Now, Yeah, in the minds of the
academics doing this, they don't see that as conspiratorial. Even if they think
that some of the reporting was inaccurate, they go, well, they look
they were trying their best. But again, unless you recognize that this stuff
exists across the spectrum, instead of saying it doesn't on one but does on
the other, then this is a griff. Furtherre is a third anti democratic
sentiments. They don't believe in an independent press, free speech. They're most
likely to say the president should be no, no, no, no.
The thing is, they do believe in the concept of an independent press.
This is the greatest misnomer here. They do want an independent press, but
that also means a press that is independent of the cozy relationships, the protectionism,
the you know, the the immediacy at which fact checker like Glenn Kessler
over the Washington Post will run out and provide cover. Well, they'll ignore
stuff and have huge double standards and be blatantly open about it. They'll let
a politician say something they know to be wrong that they would have challenged if
they had an R after their name, that they just pretend like, nah,
it's fine, So no, I would argue. They most want an
independent press. They recognize that that is not what we have in most instances
right now, but continue, Oh, and you're prosecuting your political opponents,
so there's that too, act unilaterally without any checks from Congress or the courts
or their bureaucracy. They're also the most strongly white nationalists and white Christian nationalists.
And fourth, all right, well, I will say this are that's
probably true, right, because again I'm trying to be an honest, arbiter
and an analogy. So yes, do I think that white voters probably are
most represented among white supremacists. Yes, other than that Clayton Bigsby, Yes,
yes, I do. I do believe that in the same way that
I believe, and you guys can fact check me, I believe that black
voters are probably the most represented among black nationalists. Ross would you look that
up? Would you like the Panthers and the the that weird Israeli group who
was screaming at the kid at the mind? Would you see if that tends
to predominantly have Aye, I'll look at that. Well, so what are
you even talking about? The hell are you talking about? Sir? Ninety
percent of what you're talking about can be laid squarely at the fringes, as
you say. But also there is there's no receipts in this book. What
he claims are the receipts. And I can't remember who he said it was,
but you know, whatever page it was, these are these sorry what
was it, chapter six? Yeah? Uh, they were there. There
are collection of studies that are peer reviewed within this circle of DEI style professors
that shockingly, all of these moonback professors whose grift is largely connected to the
necessity for them to come in and teach diversity, equity inclusion stuff and and
and op Of course, of course their academic studies are going to support that
position. But when you get down into the non anecdotal, you know,
within just the world of academia, I should say, and you get into
yes, some of it anecdotal, but also some of it clearly connected to
statistics. My FBI crime report, the most recent one of which came out
just what six months ago, But I don't see that being bannied about.
When we're in these discussions and you know, the promotion of violence among protesters.
Did you not see the fiery but mostly peaceful summer we had not even
closer? We're most likely to just excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative
to peaceful public diste All right, So I'm just going to cut it because
that's last thing he said, and that's what I was just commenting on.
Really, they're they're they're the most the most right words are violence. Therefore
violence against you can be met with violence in return. This is that was
common practice on college campuses. Punch a nazi, not an actual person who
goes, hey, I'm a Nazi, look at my uniform. But like
people that you disagree with, burn stuff down. And you're going to be
hearing more and more about that book because I guess it's either out now or
it's soon to be out, and they're very excited about it. But yes,
I wanted to want to bring that to your attention. For any of
our listeners, you know, like Hornett County or Rockingham or you know,
just trying to live a peaceful country existence out there. It's all your fault,
so you should feel bad according to these two idiots. And if you
do any want to apologize eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four
you absolute bigot. All right, hang on, we'll be back. I
mean, you need to be more professional. You know, it's a big
day to day. I got my jery and so I'm super excited. Okay,
yeah, all right, all right, We've we've talked about this before
in the show numerous times. I'm very upset to like, I never got
a jury summons, and when people get them, I get really jealous because
I would love to do it. And yesterday, so I was picking up
dinner. I came home and Marky's in the kitchen. She's like, your
life is about to change. When I said, I said what? She
and I was like, what is God? To be fair? To be
fair? You walk in your spouse. How long have you guys been married?
What that'll be? Eighteen years? Eighteen years? Okay? All right?
So you walk into that, you walk into the kitchen or wherever this
is happening, I don't know, and your spouse of nearly two decades is
like, your life is about to change? Does it? Does that put
a little bit of like what's going on in your throat? Not at all?
Okay? All right? All right? So you walk into the kitchen
and your wife is like, things are about to change, right, And
I'm like, what's going on? She turns around. She's holding an envelope
and I'm like, what's in? What is it? Publisher's clearicy right,
bright? Yeah, And she shows it to me and she she goes,
I was about to throw this away. She's talking super serious right now because
she knows how exciting. She goes, I was about to throw this away,
but then I noticed what it said in the window of the envelope.
It said, Jay, you are and she hangs it to me and I
canna express to you how excited I was. I was literally shaking, and
she was she was like, oh my god, you are so excited.
She's like, I've seen you this exciting a long time, and I said,
it finally happened. Yeah, finally, I'm so excited. Listener.
I think we have a listener in the department because I just think it's weird
that you and I talk about it a few weeks ago, right, all
of a sudden boom, right now, what is unfortunate for you? And
I don't want to be a buzzkill on this because your powdered wig looks I
am ready put me in coach, I'm ready to just this okay, all
right, yeah, you're ready to because people are like trying to give me
advice on how like to get out of it, like why would I want
to get out of it forever? Yes, people don't understand. I'm like,
I don't want to get out of it. The problem I think you're
going to have is your number, right, I was high two hundreds.
You're in the threes. Right, I hear what you're saying. But what
you what you don't understand is I'm a man of fate and destiny. I
don't mean to be negative. I would love nothing more than you to be
on a jury, just because I am so curious how this goes. Do
you know what if I am ready, like I'm already prepared, like I'm
gonna show up with Hayes for sheriff T shirts and hand him out, because
then the lawyers will be like, this guy is gonna be like he's fair
and he's giving and he's unbiased and seat him immediately. I cannot wait.
All right, we are binging Matt Locke. We're gonna watch like the entire
the entire run of Matt locked this. If the murder is a witness,
then we're gonna watch a murder, she wrote. And then we're gonna go
to Kojak and Colombo. We watched Twelve Angry Men last night. Oh wow,
that is not where I would go with with this. Okay, what's
that? What's the Oh, it's the movie I'm thinking of Runaway Jury?
Did you watch Runaway Jury? Obviously that I'll put that in the list.
We've got the firm, I've gotten a few good men. Okay, all
right, well, what that's a military tribunal? I mean I object okay,
sidebar your runner? Ibbit? Your runner ibbit? What is that's from
a goodie hunting? When he's like he's on trial? Wait? Wasn't he
like quoting like old English? I was so ready? You know you're not
the one who brings up the law of I was born for this man.
What day? Hold on? What day are we not doing a show?
Hold on? Are you going to take that day off? Because they're already
like freaking not trying to figure out who's going to feel like, no,
no, no, no, dude, I saw that. This is what
literally tipped me off to this. And then the powdered wig. I'm like,
oh okay, all right, by the way, is that not hot?
Oh? So hot? I'm just sweating. What day is it?
It's the week of April, dude, it's the week of April. First,
I don't believe you. Hold on, I did one. I'll bring
you in the letter, which is up on my fridge right now. I
would not be this excited. I'm super excited. Oh it's so this is
why I don't know what's going on. I don't know if it's like,
if it's a if it's a gimmick or wait, hold on, no,
wait, hold on, you send a wait did you send it? This
is a copy that you sent in the email right to me and AJ,
I'm shouldn't look at this thing. Yeah, oh my gosh, yeah you're
but you're in the three hundreds. I mean not that that doesn't a man
of man of destiny. So, so the way it works is you got
to call the night before. I think though, because I'm in the media,
I don't think I have to call in and they just show up and
they they see media. Dude, how are you going to survive the in
all seriousness, what do you think your chances are of surviving the Okay,
all right, but is this it'll be a pooping on sidewalk cat. I
don't think he cares. Emailers, I don't think he cares. Do you
care? You don't care? Right? What the cases? Yeah, you
know I would prefer like a big old murder. Okay, whatever, Then
it's going to be other days off. So so it's April. I'm putting
this on my calendar April second, right, So the day after April Fool's
Day. All right, you know if you wear that powdered wig. By
the way, where did you get a powdered wig? I don't know.
AM is on overnight delivery. Okay, dude, Ross is so stoked.
I hope look, I hope you survive the the initial I think the number
is probably going to screw. I don't mean to be negative on this.
I think your number is high enough that at five oh one on April Fool's
Day, although you can pretend you don't believe them because it's April Fools and
show up anyway, I think your number might be too high. I'd say
this too, like when the people sending out the letters, they need to
make the envelope more clear of what's inside the letter because it could be thrown
away from junk mail, right right, No, it looks super for junk
male ish all right, So April second, no show. I mean that's
gonna that's how it's gonna have to be. I don't know who we have
to fill in. I went to Amazon too, and I was looking at
I put in the search bar Mattlock suit because I realized I had to buy
a suit. For the thing, and there's nothing that shows up when you
put in Matt luck suit. Apparently down the individual pieces powdered robe, that's
not an issue. Yeah, but the angel individual pieces for the mattlock suit,
I'm gonna have to hunt them down individually. I've gotta I gotta dress
up for the thing, right, No, I see this all right on
the calendar. Yeah, I haven't heard. I haven't heard how management is
going to deal with that. So, but I shouldn't say that, because
I did see the immediate response from one of our bosses. Just like hey
man put it in the calendar. They understand the duty too to do this.
I will say, you might be the most excited jury person I've ever
run into, and apparently our audience feels the uh the same there, all
right? So what do you want? You want something quick and easy or
you want to be sequestered. I told you I want to pick a want
a big old murder. Oh, I just wanted to call him. Uh
comment on Ross's loving jury duty. I'm out there with the brother. Uh,
it's our SAVI duty, all right. No, I don't disagree with
you, but you know you didn't spawn a powdered Wig at work a month
before. Did you all right, so you got on jury duty? What
was your what was your case? It was a murder case back year ago,
okay, all right, all right, we got all into it and
about halfway through the trial that made a flea deal. Oh yeah, that
is Lisa. What's up? Yeah, I was just calling in to tell
Ross and my girlfriend and her dad were both called for jury duty at the
same time years ago. And girl, and when she came back, you
know, we were all at the all at work asking her, you know
what, all to ask you and all like that. Well, they asked
her if she watched the news, and she told him that she never did.
And her dad, you know, he's in his fifties or something,
he said, yeah, he watched it all the time. And they asked
her if she read the newspaper. She says, I only grabbed the comics
out of that. I don't look at any of them. Well, of
course they picked her for jury duty instead of her dad, so play stupid
Ross. I'm I'm afraid that he equals a mistrial within about five minutes.
That's my that's my concern, Lisa. Well, you know, since they
started that thing where they call you. I have been. I've gotten a
thing several times, but I've never got to go. So don't get you
know, yeah, don't buy all the candles and the fireworks hit. I
don't encourage him, all right, I got if I brought fireworks, would
it help my chance to the to the courthouse? No? What do you
do? No? I bring my own stocks? Why do you have stocks?
What is I'm running for sheriff man. I understand that, but I
feel like if you literally bring disciplinary items, like, even if you do
get called, it's not gonna work. That's probably I've been told the movies
problematic. It's right there on the pre roll if you watch it on the
HBO Max app. It is the Yes, it was the fiftieth anniversary of
Blazing Saddles. So if you went and saw that in the theater, how
you feeling? That's crazy? Though? But you know, White Rule listeners
all super big. It's learned about it on MSNB. See, so that's
well. I thought i'd share that. All right, let me grab a
call or two on this. Chris, you're up first, go right ahead,
Hey, good morning, case he thinks for taking my call. I
was listening to the sector or what you guys are just talking about about this
book. And uh, I live in a very rural town in North Carolina,
and all my neigh most of my neighbors are black, and even one
of them, a very old black guy, even puts up a Confederate flag.
And one day I'm gonna go ask him why. But I haven't talked
to him yet. But I don't even I don't even want to ask him
why. I don't even want to ask him why. You know what I
mean, because it's his business, you know what I mean. But uh,
you know, we all get along. And I mean there's a time
where I needed fuel for my generator. Yeah, I was just gonna ask
you. I don't understand where that guy got that. Oh very well,
Oh my god, I needed fuel for my generator. The guy gave me
a propane tank. I gave it back to him, full of course.
But uh so, I mean, there's no we don't talk about race or
anything because we don't see that. We just see each other, you know,
neighbors. Well, what I call my neighborhood, it's racist more racist,
So well, then brand me a racist, because I love everybody,
so thank you all right, thanks, thanks for the call. There.
That is a man in denial right there. Listen to him just trying to
be a good neighbor and interact with people around him. And by the way,
that's another bigness misnomer because they're like, yeah, I I if you
say you don't see race, then you know you're missing racist. No no,
no, no no. To say that you don't see race versus to
say that you don't see racism are two entirely different things. When people say
they don't see race, they're indicating that they feel that they interact, whether
they're accurate or right or wrong, they feel that the way that they approach
life and the way that they interact with people isn't one that is torn based
on racial divide, right, Like, whatever your philosophy is, he here's
the thing I'm this is cynical. Me. I just assume fifty percent of
the people that I don't know are jerks or a holes. I know it's
and then the other percentage are not. But to what extent I don't know.
So I approach everything with the open ended possibility it is going to go
one way or the other. That's it, And all you got to do
is be a human being to enter that lottery. Zach, go right ahead.
Hey, how you doing case, I'm good, sir. Do you
want to apologize? Yes, I would like to apologize for being an overall
wearing, gun toting, godless smoking country man. Sir. Have you ever
have you ever utilized smokeless tobacco or ridden in the back of a truck?
Oh god, yes, Oh wow, Okay, I'm only I'm only twenty
eight and I've done all and I've done that. Well, sir, you
were on a path of destruction. I don't know how you made it through
the call screener. I have to let you go forget our license canceled. So
