Speaker 1: Do I start with Hegseth. Do I start with Doge?
Speaker 1: Do I start with the Kayak stories insane? Do I
Speaker 1: start with the mayor in Durham who got offended over
Speaker 1: facts like it's really tough this morning. I will be
Speaker 1: quite honest with you. So yesterday and I mentioned this
Speaker 1: literally the show promo, this I don't even know. We
Speaker 1: gotta change the show promo the rest of the week
Speaker 1: because Trump's gonna keep naming names and people are gonna
Speaker 1: keep losing their damn minds. And you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: here for it. Now. That doesn't mean I'm gonna like
Speaker 1: or you're gonna like any of the names, all of
Speaker 1: the names, whatever it is, some of the names, and
Speaker 1: you can be scratching your head. There is a divide
Speaker 1: over Rubio and Secretary of State is a powerful position
Speaker 1: if we could be adults and have this, But unfortunately
Speaker 1: that's not how we fight anymore. We're just like Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio's I saw yesterday scrolling on the timeline, the show timeline,
Speaker 1: I would say, separated by five tweets accounts that I
Speaker 1: recognize as people I don't follow, and yet somehow end
Speaker 1: up in my timeline that Marco Rubio is either a
Speaker 1: Jew hater or is owned by the Jews within five posts,
Speaker 1: and people had links and stuff, and I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: I'm out at that point. I'm out. So if you
Speaker 1: want to fight over and do your thing, fight over it.
Speaker 1: I'm here to partially be amused. Now another's serious stuff,
Speaker 1: and I will give you the serious assessment because you
Speaker 1: have to be able to do that. You can't just
Speaker 1: you can't meme a point one hundred percent. You can
Speaker 1: kind of and we do it all the time with
Speaker 1: meme appointments is a thing, you know what, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've heard anyone say that, So
Speaker 1: you know what, that's my thing, and if you ever
Speaker 1: hear anyone using it, call them out. You know. A
Speaker 1: meme appointment is uh, somebody who's who's put in there
Speaker 1: purely totrol people. And they would have to lack the
Speaker 1: qualifications because there are a lot of people who will
Speaker 1: have qualifications perhaps to do a job, but because of
Speaker 1: a news cycle or because of their time and how
Speaker 1: they've interacted with people previously. Where somebody's got an axe
Speaker 1: to grind that's not even relevant to this, Like somebody
Speaker 1: will point them and they'll do it just to get
Speaker 1: under the that person's skin. I have not seen that
Speaker 1: yet with Trump's appointments here, and I'll give you an exam.
Speaker 1: And it's not always that, but it's also sometimes a
Speaker 1: bad one. And I'll tell you a really, really famous one,
Speaker 1: and you guys remember it, even though you're probably racking
Speaker 1: your brain for an example, George Bush. Do you remember
Speaker 1: when George Bush did a me or attempted to do
Speaker 1: a meme nomination, in this case a meme nomination. Harriet Myers,
Speaker 1: his family attorney, a woman who I believe changed him
Speaker 1: at one point, like she'd been with the Bushes for
Speaker 1: a long time.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Was she a lawyer? Yes? Did she ever have any
Speaker 1: aspiration for Supreme Court? I guess maybe all lawyers do.
Speaker 1: But it was clear that he did that because he said,
Speaker 1: f and I'm going to do it, and also you
Speaker 1: ain't gonna like it, but I don't care. And then
Speaker 1: he realized some of the people around him didn't like it,
Speaker 1: and you remember they withdrew the nomination. Then he nominated
Speaker 1: a Hispanic guy. And famously you should research this. The
Speaker 1: Democrats and there are on the record within the sourced
Speaker 1: news articles of people who talked about how Democrat leadership
Speaker 1: at that time decided that they would not allow a
Speaker 1: Hispanic Supreme Court nominee or in this case, excuse me,
Speaker 1: I want to be very clear. They were empty to
Speaker 1: nominate him to the d C. Circuit Court or the
Speaker 1: DC Court district just under the Supreme Court. But they
Speaker 1: did it because they knew that he was gonna be
Speaker 1: the next guy. A lot of times they project this stuff,
Speaker 1: so they didn't want they didn't even let him get
Speaker 1: on the DC Court of Appeals because they knew the
Speaker 1: trajectory from there would be Supreme Court. And they realized
Speaker 1: that if they tried to you know, Nancy Kerrigan him,
Speaker 1: because that's of the era him at that point from
Speaker 1: when he was transitioning to the Supreme Court, then it
Speaker 1: would play very differently. So they recapped him and strategized saying,
Speaker 1: we can't allow him, we can't allow the Republicans to
Speaker 1: appoint the first Hispanic justice. That is that is not
Speaker 1: in dispute that any of that happened. It's just got
Speaker 1: memory hold to show you how slimy stuff is. And
Speaker 1: then you know from there from their removed so yesterday, look,
Speaker 1: if you don't like Trump, and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people who don't have the country, well less than half
Speaker 1: the country. You know, for doing math, you probably looked
Speaker 1: at the two big ones yesterday, like the Rubio thing.
Speaker 1: You're not even talking. Maybe that's the strategy, so they
Speaker 1: don't even talk about Ruby. I don't know you saw
Speaker 1: Pete hag. Let me start with this one, Pete hegg Seth,
Speaker 1: who you know from Fox News. And immediately immediately people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, Pete hegg Seth, Oh you got what?
Speaker 1: Did some guy some dufish reporter, some dufish reporter, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, did you This was from Jim Acosta yesterday?
Speaker 1: In fact, let me read. Let me read this guy
Speaker 1: who's probably gonna be fired next week, so maybe he's
Speaker 1: just having a bad day. Dude, did you see that
Speaker 1: CNN's going scorched shirt? I don't, honestly, I know you
Speaker 1: guys don't believe this, even at CNN, even at our competitors.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. Let me tell you a story.
Speaker 1: It is going to sound mildly self serving, So I'm
Speaker 1: not going to use any names. When when I first
Speaker 1: started on the air here in North Carolina, and both
Speaker 1: the Triad and Triangle will remember this. There was a
Speaker 1: talk station out of Burlington on the FM dial and uh,
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly what it called itself, but you
Speaker 1: remember it. It was like what was it one O
Speaker 1: one whatever? There was a talk station. So in each
Speaker 1: market we competed with somebody. Curtis, right, Curtis had a
Speaker 1: talk station in each marrio. Well I still do with
Speaker 1: PTF and s j S. And then in the middle,
Speaker 1: because we're on the FM dial, you had this other
Speaker 1: talk station out of I think they were licensed out
Speaker 1: of Burlington, one of the one of the communities right
Speaker 1: there in between Triad and Triangle. And when they decided
Speaker 1: they were gonna, you know, flip and get rid of everybody,
Speaker 1: there's a message board for like industry people, and I
Speaker 1: saw people just slamming on these dudes, and I called
Speaker 1: one of the hosts, toy Able, to get a hold
Speaker 1: of them and talk to them and be like, look, man,
Speaker 1: let's this sucks. Really, I really I hate this. And
Speaker 1: we commiserated about this shared thing and I actually had
Speaker 1: him to do some fill in. So maybe some of
Speaker 1: you know who it is, but I don't like to
Speaker 1: see this stuff unless I personally don't like the person
Speaker 1: and one of the people at the station is an
Speaker 1: ass so I did not call him. But I don't
Speaker 1: celebrate the contraction of the media. And here's why there
Speaker 1: is a little selfish component, because anytime a news talk
Speaker 1: station shuts down, if I ever need a job, that's
Speaker 1: one less person hiring. So there's a selfish component. But
Speaker 1: there's also just the human component. And I got to
Speaker 1: tell you, I am having a really hard time welling
Speaker 1: up any sympathy for the idea that CNN may scorched
Speaker 1: earth it's staff because they brought them there. Everyone who
Speaker 1: sat there and said, yeah, we don't need an on
Speaker 1: the record source. Yeah, just put it out there. We
Speaker 1: don't need to. You checked it once with your buddy
Speaker 1: you went to college with, who now works at the
Speaker 1: Department of whatever. Sure, yeah, absolutely, no, that's fine. Let's say,
Speaker 1: you know what, let's work in the good people on
Speaker 1: both sides thing about nine times. Let's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, CNN is getting massively sued in like nine
Speaker 1: different directions where those lawsuits are proceeding forward. They're gonna
Speaker 1: Veritas is probably gonna they're gonna owe Veritas a ton
Speaker 1: of money. Other people are not paying attention to this
Speaker 1: because it's it's early on, but a judge has just
Speaker 1: said that they can move forward, and it has excoriated
Speaker 1: CNN for their position. Their position basically is they can
Speaker 1: lie about who Veritas is because one time Veritas did
Speaker 1: something that they got their hands slapped for and that's
Speaker 1: not how that works. So I have a hard time
Speaker 1: with worrying about Jim Acosta's future. That being said, here's
Speaker 1: what he wrote. Where did I sorry, I tweeted a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff yesterday, dude, do all right? Here
Speaker 1: we go. Here is here's Jim Acosta's take and Pete
Speaker 1: hagg Seth being nominated for Secretary of Defense in a
Speaker 1: sign he has been watching his cabinet selections or making
Speaker 1: his cabinet selections while watching TV. Trump picks Fox anchor
Speaker 1: Pete hagg Seth he Secretary of of Defense, and then
Speaker 1: you get down there and people are calling him a
Speaker 1: do fish and a Costa po said something else along
Speaker 1: those lines. Obviously he's clearly like, oh, he only picked
Speaker 1: him because he's on Fox.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: This is why CNN's getting what they get because I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I actually here's I was full disclosure. I
Speaker 1: know I've I've met Pete haig Seth on several occasions
Speaker 1: because he is from the Twin Cities and he was
Speaker 1: working partially in the Twin Cities when I was in
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities and we were the Fox. We were
Speaker 1: the Fox Radio or Fox Radio affiliate too, and he
Speaker 1: did some radio stuff. And then the point, the point
Speaker 1: is I've met the guy I thought he was. I
Speaker 1: thought he was dec He came across as smart dude,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know much about him. I knew he'd
Speaker 1: been in the military because he's got the tats, all right.
Speaker 1: That being said, LaCosta throws this out there and never
Speaker 1: bothers to check. Pete hegg Seth has a degree from
Speaker 1: Princeton and a degree from Harvard, and I thought those
Speaker 1: on the left really respected those. But more than that,
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseeth also has trigger time. That's right. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a military member and he did he did. He worked
Speaker 1: at Guantanamo. He spent time in Iraq, Afghanistan to tours
Speaker 1: over there. He has two bronze stars. I believe he
Speaker 1: holds the rank of major within I think it's guard service,
Speaker 1: a lot of it. But he holds the army rank
Speaker 1: of major two bronze stars. Now he's not a general,
Speaker 1: but look where some of the generals have got us.
Speaker 1: Look at the current def sec. He is a He's
Speaker 1: a general, Lloyd Austin. Do you think that with the
Speaker 1: general in charge, the military is going in the direction
Speaker 1: that it should be a lot of people don't. But
Speaker 1: if you're going to insult the guy, maybe listen to
Speaker 1: him for a few minutes and then try to draw
Speaker 1: a conclusion whether he's going to be able to lead,
Speaker 1: because making that transition to lead, that's a fair question.
Speaker 1: But here's a little snip of heg Schef doing an interview,
Speaker 1: not doing the reporting, but doing an interview, and I
Speaker 1: think it provides a little insight.
Speaker 3: The Pentagon is in the book the exact amount of years,
Speaker 3: but in the past x number of years ten, twelve, fifteen,
Speaker 3: the Pentagon has a perfect record in all of its
Speaker 3: war games against China. We lose every time inside the
Speaker 3: Pentagon wargames.
Speaker 4: We know what our real capability.
Speaker 3: You see, we didn't even get to this part of
Speaker 3: the war and warriors, I mean the military industrial complex,
Speaker 3: the way we procure weapons systems.
Speaker 4: You know, we're always the.
Speaker 3: Way our system works, the way our bureaucratic system works,
Speaker 3: where the speed of weapons procurement works. We're always a
Speaker 3: decade behind and fighting the last war, whereas China there
Speaker 3: we have a we have you know what Romsfeld say,
Speaker 3: you go to the war of the Army, you have
Speaker 3: we have the army China's building an army specifically dedicated
Speaker 3: to defeating the United States of America. That is, that
Speaker 3: is their strategic outset. Take hypersonic missiles. So if our whole,
Speaker 3: if our whole power projection platform is aircraft carriers and
Speaker 3: the ability to project power that way strategically around the globe.
Speaker 3: And yeah, we have a nuclear triad and all that,
Speaker 3: but a big part of it. And if you know,
Speaker 3: fifteen hypersonic mixiles can take out our ten aircraft carriers
Speaker 3: in the first twenty minutes of.
Speaker 4: A conflict, what does that look like?
Speaker 3: I mean, and when they're if they've already got us economically,
Speaker 3: which you pointed out very well with our grid culturally,
Speaker 3: there's plenty of elite capture going on around the globe,
Speaker 3: I mean, and then microchips and everything.
Speaker 4: Why do they want Taiwan?
Speaker 3: They want a corner the market completely on the technological
Speaker 3: future and can't even drive our cars without the stuff
Speaker 3: we need out of China these days. I mean, they
Speaker 3: have a full spectrum, a long term view of not
Speaker 3: just regional but global domination. And we are we have
Speaker 3: our heads up our asses all right.
Speaker 1: Regardless of your political affiliation, did anything he bring up
Speaker 1: there not sound like a legitimate concern? You may not
Speaker 1: like how he's going to go about it, You could
Speaker 1: feel he's exaggerating. But are there people who believe that
Speaker 1: China just wants to hang out on their own property
Speaker 1: and not really screw with anybody? Is there? Is there
Speaker 1: anyone who believes that? Honestly? Not just people are going
Speaker 1: to respond to him, be like, oh, China is the great?
Speaker 1: Do you're going to see between him and uh the
Speaker 1: National security Uh? The Congressman Waltz not Walls. This is
Speaker 1: going to keep screwing with me? Who are both? They're
Speaker 1: obviously quite hawkish on China in the way that hawkish
Speaker 1: is meant not go attack them, but recognize and prepare.
Speaker 1: Does anyone disagree with that? Have you seen what China does?
Speaker 1: I've talked about this on the rate. It cannot be
Speaker 1: stressed enough China's modus operendi and I have seen it.
Speaker 1: I have there is visual evidence for any of you
Speaker 1: who travel go to a country that China's trying to
Speaker 1: ingratiate themselves in, there will be a new big big
Speaker 1: old something, big old something. There are many nations in
Speaker 1: Africa where they came in and this is how it works.
Speaker 1: This is this is what they do. Your people are starving,
Speaker 1: you live in a palace. You you know you spend
Speaker 1: all the money. They're gonna eventually come and behead you.
Speaker 1: You need to do something. China will come in and say, hey,
Speaker 1: what if we build a railroad between like whatever the
Speaker 1: two big cities are. It'll be a ton of work.
Speaker 1: So you can put your people to work, and we'll
Speaker 1: pay you to allow us to do this, because only
Speaker 1: half the employees are going to be your citizens and
Speaker 1: the other half will be China. They're creating work outside
Speaker 1: of China for Chinese workers. Meanwhile, the big, big old
Speaker 1: money payment that they give to the desk spot that
Speaker 1: just goes right in his pocket. And they have now
Speaker 1: pro heared an additional vote at the UN and access
Speaker 1: to resources. And sometimes it's not a railroad in central America,
Speaker 1: most of the soccer stadiums are built by China. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this same deal, We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. Obviously, not all these are going to pan out.
Speaker 1: Some of them need confirmation. Some someone will have a
Speaker 1: skeleton in their closet. And you know, the Democrat machine
Speaker 1: is currently doing that in the same way that the Republicans.
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing right now. They got all their
Speaker 1: OPO people just waiting for those names, and they're deep diving. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Pete hag Seth, Fox News anchor reporter, that's what
Speaker 1: most people know him as the Defense Secretary. But then
Speaker 1: if you make a good faith effort to figure out
Speaker 1: whether this guy's got the chops for it or at
Speaker 1: the very least has the right mindset for what you
Speaker 1: like to see and what you voted for. If you
Speaker 1: voted for Trump, that'd be the responsible thing to do.
Speaker 1: So I did, and again I full discloyed. I've met
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth on a few occasions. I found it be
Speaker 1: nice enough, dude, But he's a Twin Cities guy, and
Speaker 1: I was in Twin Cities media for a long time.
Speaker 1: So whatever, he's out there and I'm watching that interview.
Speaker 1: We played a little bit of it, and he clearly
Speaker 1: has some thoughts on what's going on, and they don't
Speaker 1: sound unreasonable. He also has two Ivy League degrees, two
Speaker 1: Bronze stars military service. He holds the Army rank of major.
Speaker 1: He has a CIB. For those you going, oh, well
Speaker 1: he was, you know, he's just in an office of
Speaker 1: the penging on. No, he's not.
Speaker 5: And I.
Speaker 1: Don't understand when this information is so easy, how you
Speaker 1: can't Now, if you say that somebody who served in
Speaker 1: the Guard shouldn't be able to be death sec then
Speaker 1: hold that opinion and let me know how that goes
Speaker 1: for you. If you say that somebody at that rank shouldn't,
Speaker 1: then hold that thought. I'll pull up a whole list
Speaker 1: of Defense secretaries who either didn't exceed that rank or
Speaker 1: didn't have a rank. So that's the easy way. He
Speaker 1: also talks about the procurement and the ability to go
Speaker 1: ahead and adapt, and that is something I firmly believe
Speaker 1: that the US has the ability to do. We are
Speaker 1: famous for it. Rosy the Riveter, right, Rosy the Riveter.
Speaker 1: Everything that was the home front side of our involvement
Speaker 1: in World War two is lauded for the ability to Hey,
Speaker 1: all right, we can't. We got a ration medal, So
Speaker 1: we're not going to do this for the war effort,
Speaker 1: food for the war effort. We don't want to do
Speaker 1: these things. Americans don't want to do these things. I
Speaker 1: question whether modern Americans could do these things. But I'd
Speaker 1: like to think that when it does hit the road,
Speaker 1: the majority of people can adapt. So with that in mind,
Speaker 1: when he's talking about the ability to adapt in new
Speaker 1: style warfare and the US is very slow to do it,
Speaker 1: that's a concern and it's not a unique concern to
Speaker 1: Pete hag Seth. I was watching an interview that Shapiro
Speaker 1: did with a couple leftist podcast hosts, and Shapiro I
Speaker 1: think did a very good job in that interview. It's
Speaker 1: an iced coffee hour if you want to if you
Speaker 1: want to go watch it, I would watch it. The
Speaker 1: one one host, though, is really creepy, but whatever. So
Speaker 1: he was talking about the way in which if there
Speaker 1: needs to be a development of an advancement in a
Speaker 1: weapons system, how it works in the United States and
Speaker 1: how it works in Israel, and what's crazy is Israel
Speaker 1: has essentially and I don't know that this process flies
Speaker 1: in the US, but they have a crazy efficient way.
Speaker 1: In fact, individual segments of their military will sometimes develop
Speaker 1: something just because they're empowered to do it. And Iron
Speaker 1: Dome or portions of Iron Dome are in fact one
Speaker 1: of those examples. They're like the idea like crazy, you know,
Speaker 1: because you're talking like Reagan Star Wars stuff when they
Speaker 1: first started developing this so and and Hexsa's talking about that.
Speaker 1: You want to see a funny version of what that
Speaker 1: looks like. There's a uh, there's a movie starring Wesley
Speaker 1: from the Princess Briy carry Eules called The Pentagon Wars
Speaker 1: and the whole premise, and it's definitely it's it's exaggerated
Speaker 1: a little, but it talks about the development of the
Speaker 1: Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Is the is what they use there.
Speaker 1: It's got Kelsey Grammar and who by the way, the
Speaker 1: other day, it's funny. The other day somebody's like they
Speaker 1: mentioned Kelsey Grammar as though he was dead, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what do you did something happen that I missed? And
Speaker 1: they were in They're like no, no, no, his wife shot
Speaker 1: him years ago. And I'm like that's Phil Hartman. So
Speaker 1: now that made me feel old, because I'm like, are
Speaker 1: we to the point now where the guys who were
Speaker 1: where all the stuff that happened when I was a
Speaker 1: kid are now getting into the forget pile? I hate that,
Speaker 1: but we move forward. So heg Seth was one. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you I don't. It's not often that
Speaker 1: I will laugh more than just chuckle when I see
Speaker 1: a story. And I was dying yesterday. I was dying
Speaker 1: yesterday when I saw this statement. In fact, when I
Speaker 1: saw the statement, because people mock these up online, I
Speaker 1: went and I wanted to make sure. So I found
Speaker 1: do you remember the Caroline Levitt, the spokeswoman, the campaign
Speaker 1: spokeswoman who we had on for Trump, very sharp lady.
Speaker 1: Also that video of where they're doing Oh wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: just wait, what is this? It's sec death not death
Speaker 1: set excuse me? Military guys are jump put on me.
Speaker 1: You got you and your acronyms and your abbreviations. I
Speaker 1: can't keep it straight. Whatever Defense Secretary's secretary of defense whatever.
Speaker 1: All right, anyway, So I'm sitting there and so the
Speaker 1: Caroline Levet, who's also in that video, who's like typing
Speaker 1: Trump's tweets. So I had not seen it. Ross when
Speaker 1: I sent it to you said you had seen it,
Speaker 1: what like a week or something before that, I had
Speaker 1: not seen it. I don't know. I think that stuff's
Speaker 1: kind of cool because it showed during a Harris campaign,
Speaker 1: kind of how Trump does the tweet thing, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of how I suspected or it is him tweeting
Speaker 1: but not physically pushing the buttons. But I think sometimes,
Speaker 1: because we've seen him literally tweet, sometimes it is him.
Speaker 1: So I found where she tweeted it out, so there
Speaker 1: was no question. Let me read this statement, all right,
Speaker 1: statement from President Donald J. Trump. I am pleased to
Speaker 1: announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with
Speaker 1: American patriot Vivek Ramaswami, will lead the Department of Government
Speaker 1: of Affairiciency. Let's uh, let's pause and think about what
Speaker 1: that acronym is for a moment. If we could ross
Speaker 1: Department of Government Efficiency, what would the acronym.
Speaker 2: Be on that? That would be a doge?
Speaker 1: Oh? How would you pronounce it?
Speaker 2: Doge? I believe?
Speaker 1: Oh doge?
Speaker 2: Huh? I had the same response. I read this last
Speaker 2: night and I was reading along and then I get
Speaker 2: to the Doge part because then in the in the
Speaker 2: memo or whatever the release, it's in parentheses, like you
Speaker 2: know Doge. And I just started laughing, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: this has to be like a mock made up Trump announcement.
Speaker 2: And I like had a quadruple check it because I
Speaker 2: thought it was so funny. And then it says that
Speaker 2: several times, you know, we keep reading the announcement, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna it's so great.
Speaker 1: That's just dog everywhere. Yeah, That's why I went found
Speaker 1: the Levit tweet because I'm like, I have to find
Speaker 1: somebody in the campaign or or you know, I need
Speaker 1: a Republican our record with this because I don't want
Speaker 1: to retweet this because it and people like, well, if
Speaker 1: it's insane for you, and I'm like, it's not that
Speaker 1: it sounds insane. You have to understand. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like you're a starving kid. Okay. To a lot of people,
Speaker 1: they're like, ah, and somebody just rolled some primary bin.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a weird reaction. You ever, you ever
Speaker 1: not fed your dog thirty minutes past when your dog's
Speaker 1: supposed to be fed, and you walk into the kitchen
Speaker 1: holding food in your hand. You see how happy slash
Speaker 1: insane your little friend is there. I think that's people's reaction.
Speaker 1: But we'll get to the reactions because they're so good.
Speaker 1: They're so the people are. It's so good. I didn't
Speaker 1: think this could be better until I started reading the
Speaker 1: Democrats coping with it. Oh, anyway, I continue. Together these
Speaker 1: two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration
Speaker 1: to dismantle government bureaucracy. There's a hashtag threat to bureaucracy
Speaker 1: that Elon tweeted out yesterday, and I saw everyone's using it. Now, good,
Speaker 1: that's funny. They'll sl excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and
Speaker 1: restructure federal agencies. And one of the objections was, we're
Speaker 1: not They're not do that. That's present. Yeah, they're going
Speaker 1: to give them a piece of paper and be like,
Speaker 1: here's what you should do, sir. But if you want
Speaker 1: to be two year olds kicking and screaming the whole way, fine.
Speaker 1: Essential to the Save America movement, this will send shockwaves
Speaker 1: through the system and anyone involved in government waste, which
Speaker 1: is a lot of people, stated mister Musk. It will
Speaker 1: become potentially the Manhattan Project of our time. That's a
Speaker 1: big boast. That's a big promise. And look if if
Speaker 1: you're able to purge half of government waste, considering the
Speaker 1: ramifications of that, to our deficit, to our ability to operate,
Speaker 1: to our ability to fight two wars on two fronts,
Speaker 1: and have the financial resources to do it, which we
Speaker 1: currently don't. You don't have the military resources and we
Speaker 1: don't have the financial resources. You know, a small business
Speaker 1: administration announcer out of money? How many small businesses in
Speaker 1: North Carolina are going? Where'd that go? That's a whole
Speaker 1: nother story on its own. I told you we got
Speaker 1: a lot today. So I'm gonna have to speed up here.
Speaker 1: But let me this fastward to the part of this
Speaker 1: I really appreciate, all right, So, well it's not just here,
Speaker 1: so I'll tell you what I appreciate. So in this instance,
Speaker 1: in the Tom Homan with the immigration stuff, in each instance,
Speaker 1: Trump also attached timelines to them. Obviously he's explaining this
Speaker 1: to him, but he's explaining it too to the American people,
Speaker 1: going all right, because you're going, all right, Well, then
Speaker 1: when am I gonna start seeing results?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is set parameters. Now, if he holds to him,
Speaker 1: that's one thing. If he doesn't, then he'll have to
Speaker 1: explain why that's up to him. But people are like,
Speaker 1: you can't do you can't just shut up your hold.
Speaker 1: When you go to work today, do you not have
Speaker 1: parameters or goals and timelines on stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how the real world works. I had to
Speaker 2: get up early today, right, I get up earlier at
Speaker 2: like three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to do spots, yeah.
Speaker 2: Three thirty because I have three commercials that are doue
Speaker 2: tomorrow so that to come in and do. It'd be
Speaker 2: nice if I could just be like, hey, I want
Speaker 2: to do these three commercials in like three weeks. They'll
Speaker 2: be done and then you know, it'd be done maybe
Speaker 2: in three weeks if I got a moment, But either
Speaker 2: way I get paid of course.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's not how it works. When you work
Speaker 2: in the real world, you have you have deadlines. Things
Speaker 2: have to be done on time.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter what you're doing. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you're having if you're a physician in an emergency room,
Speaker 1: where if you don't do this in this amount of time,
Speaker 1: the blood flow of the brain is probably like that's it.
Speaker 2: That's one.
Speaker 1: Or if you dig a ditch and your boss is like,
Speaker 1: I need you to dig the ditch for you know,
Speaker 1: eight feet by whatever, and you got to do it today,
Speaker 1: it's the same friggin thing. So the idea that you
Speaker 1: have government people nashing their teeth over there, and let
Speaker 1: me point this out, many government employees do recognize work
Speaker 1: with timelines and don't have a beef with it. A
Speaker 1: lot of them are in uniform, but also a lot
Speaker 1: of them aren't. I again, I I am always very
Speaker 1: careful because there are necessary government roles and there are
Speaker 1: people that I've met over the years, not elected people
Speaker 1: necessarily well I mean well, I've met elected people that
Speaker 1: I think probably are in it for the right reasons,
Speaker 1: but people who aren't, who I think are very good
Speaker 1: at their job and are more importantly, are an asset
Speaker 1: to our company that is America. And it's fine tooth
Speaker 1: combing and figuring out who's not you know, people like
Speaker 1: I don't know FEMA employees sitting around in break rooms, gone,
Speaker 1: oh you didn't send your people near Trump homes, did you? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: Because now we're finding out that may have been much
Speaker 1: more expansive. We'll get to that. So, yes, I'm here
Speaker 1: for it, love it one hundred percent. So what could
Speaker 1: possibly be the objection to having two really smart guys?
Speaker 1: Whatever you think of a VEC And frankly, he talks
Speaker 1: so fast sometimes and there are things that he's put
Speaker 1: out there. I'm just saying, I don't know about that, bro.
Speaker 1: But also I've never seen him, even when he's having
Speaker 1: a discussion or disagreement with some many of our policy issues,
Speaker 1: ever looked like he didn't want to go get a
Speaker 1: beer with you after. And that's a really here's a
Speaker 1: very fine balance, like he has an air of authority,
Speaker 1: but also he doesn't marginalize people when he disagrees with them,
Speaker 1: and maybe he doesn't in private. Maybe he's just you know,
Speaker 1: maybe just monster behind closed doors. But I don't get
Speaker 1: that impression. I don't get that about Elon either now.
Speaker 1: But also Elon is willing to fire eighty percent of
Speaker 1: you if it feels like the right thing, and so
Speaker 1: like between those two, I feel like that's probably a
Speaker 1: good combo. So what could possibly be the objection? Well,
Speaker 1: first thing I saw this morning and boil bl I'm
Speaker 1: glad I did. And then I saw this same argument
Speaker 1: fifty thousand times, so the talking points have gone out.
Speaker 1: What could possibly be the objection to Vivek and Elon
Speaker 1: with this Doge committee. It's not an official branch of
Speaker 1: government or anything, and it's not uncommon for each administration
Speaker 1: to have their own expansion of something, and it is
Speaker 1: an expansion of government, but it's an expansion to unexpanded.
Speaker 1: What could the objection be to have two geniuses in
Speaker 1: charge of that? You won't even guess, don't cheat, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you about it next here on the CaCO Day
Speaker 1: radio program eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven for so, let me ask you, what do you
Speaker 1: think of Pete haig Seth for the Defense Secretary or
Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense some grammar police follow me around
Speaker 1: in my email this morning? Or the idea that Elon
Speaker 1: Musk if a vac Cremaswami are going to be running
Speaker 1: a do doged apart. I can't. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: stop laughing. Look, you start getting result and I'm not
Speaker 1: laughing at it. I'm laughing at because there's a small
Speaker 1: part of you. When you read that press release, the
Speaker 1: first thing you want to go do is check on
Speaker 1: Keith Oberman, go check on CNN, MSNBC and the rest,
Speaker 1: because you just know they're gonna lose it. In fact,
Speaker 1: I just found Ross gonna get this dubbed and we'll
Speaker 1: play it here a little later. But MSNBC was absolutely
Speaker 1: shambles yesterday. But that's not my favorite reaction. Remember I
Speaker 1: mentioned what could you possibly object to other than ideology?
Speaker 1: Let me just be clear. You can object to it
Speaker 1: from an ideological standpoint. You can be like, I think
Speaker 1: what these guys think is dangerous because I'm a lunatic,
Speaker 1: But more importantly, I think differently. Okay, fine, but that's
Speaker 1: not it. And I didn't have to wait very long
Speaker 1: to be treated to be sorry Ross, I hadn't read
Speaker 1: the Banchie thing. Yeah, I mean one hundred percent. But
Speaker 1: let me I didn't have to wait very long to
Speaker 1: be treated to Elizabeth Warren Liawatha. I always look the biggest,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mistakes Trump ever made is go
Speaker 1: with Pocahontas when Liawatha is so much better. I thought,
Speaker 1: when we did the interview with we're talking about blood sport,
Speaker 1: because that's what you do. I thought about broaching that topic,
Speaker 1: but we ran out of time. Because blood Sport's too awesome.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so Eliahwatha tweets this, and she's not the
Speaker 1: only one. This became the official talking point. If you're
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you'll see it everywhere today. Okay, the Office
Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency and by the way, screw her, it's
Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency. So Elizabeth Warren first of all,
Speaker 1: is upset because the Doze story. So her big takedown,
Speaker 1: which is the dumbest take. This is the dumbest take.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the legitimate take because I have the
Speaker 1: same take. Once that announcement came with THEVEK and Elon
Speaker 1: doing their thing, Elizabeth Warren writes, the Office of Government
Speaker 1: Efficiency is off to a great start with split leadership,
Speaker 1: two people to do the work of one person. Wahaha.
Speaker 1: She added, Okay, she didn't add that, but I did.
Speaker 1: But again, I don't know the objection there. Now, if
Speaker 1: you could point out how it's not going to work
Speaker 1: between them and they wouldn't accomplish an I think that's
Speaker 1: a legitimate thing. But that's not the legitimate thing I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about. I try to be consistent and as much
Speaker 1: as I think that Elon Musk is a brilliant dude.
Speaker 1: He is a guy whose companies have a lot of
Speaker 1: contracts with the federal government, and I want to know
Speaker 1: how they're going to alleviate concerns there, because if you're
Speaker 1: looking for government inefficiency, you're probably not going to look
Speaker 1: over at the space side of things. Or and this
Speaker 1: is where I'm happy to be wrong. Maybe he recognizes
Speaker 1: better than anyone the inefficiencies on the space side. So
Speaker 1: what that looks like. And again, these are recommendations that
Speaker 1: they're making, too. Trump. I want to know. I want
Speaker 1: to know, and I don't care if it's you, if
Speaker 1: it's you know, picked the favorite politician you ever had.
Speaker 1: I understand what happens up in Washington there, and if
Speaker 1: you do something, there needs to be a strong and
Speaker 1: concise reasoning behind it. And I think that the VEC
Speaker 1: and Elon even more so of a VEC, because Elon
Speaker 1: tends to wander a little bit. I think can probably
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job of making the case. But
Speaker 1: you also have to explain to me how we're going
Speaker 1: to alleviate some of those concerns. Okay, that's a legitimate concern,
Speaker 1: because I want to hold everyone to the same standard. However,
Speaker 1: if that's your best talking point. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: You sound so stupid? And here's how she is extra stupid.
Speaker 1: You know what I just realized Ross this super badass
Speaker 1: clip we you.
Speaker 6: Have come on is a soul stupid.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be able to use that thing
Speaker 1: in a few months unless they appoint her to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Quarter soon I don't know, or try to, which
Speaker 1: they won't. Just stop all of that, and if they do,
Speaker 1: it'll be a disaster. But let me let me just
Speaker 1: real quick with Elizabeth Warren, and I am blown away.
Speaker 1: She didn't know this because I knew this, and a
Speaker 1: lot of you maybe knew this, but I you probably
Speaker 1: heard on the show. I have an immense amount of
Speaker 1: interest in history, especially Western history. Oh I loved it. Now,
Speaker 1: That's why I grew up. I'm a little a little
Speaker 1: biased there, but part of Western history, and arguably one
Speaker 1: of the biggest parts of Western history, is understanding what
Speaker 1: was going on with the native tribes, which is why
Speaker 1: I'm not one of these lunatics who came out of
Speaker 1: primary school thinking they all kumbahi yah and used every
Speaker 1: part of the buffalo kind of stuff. They were like
Speaker 1: any other groups of people anywhere else in the world, man,
Speaker 1: And they had the same horrific things and the positive things, right,
Speaker 1: they they would enslave their other other captured tribes. Right,
Speaker 1: things that we know today are horrific were part of
Speaker 1: it because that was the that was the part of
Speaker 1: that growth within our history. And of course I fully
Speaker 1: recognized the absolute raw deal in the inability to maintain
Speaker 1: treaties and stuff. But also it's you have to look
Speaker 1: at it under the premise of that part of the
Speaker 1: world in that time, not just in that part of
Speaker 1: the world, people were out conquering people. Every single group
Speaker 1: of people has been conquered at some point, except well us,
Speaker 1: And that's just because we're so young in this in
Speaker 1: this thing, Okay, So I love it, and so knowing this,
Speaker 1: I also knew, and I'm surprised Elizabeth Warren didn't know
Speaker 1: that a lot of tribes had multiple chiefs. And I
Speaker 1: don't mean successively or with different defined roles, including including,
Speaker 1: but not limited to crow Nez Pierce, the Asibon as Boni.
Speaker 1: I can never pronounce that one correctly. More locally, the Cherokee.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of Cherokee? I think you've heard of
Speaker 1: the Cherokee. You heard of Cherokee pre eighteen hundreds, the
Speaker 1: Cherokee would have two chiefs in a lot of circumstances, Natchez.
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on, and how Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: a Native American Harvard graduate, didn't know that that's crazy
Speaker 1: because I knew that, and I've never purported to be
Speaker 1: a tribal member. So and you don't. And and by the way,
Speaker 1: I would encourage you to do all this, I want
Speaker 1: you to look it up because it's actually much more
Speaker 1: fascinating than that. That you would have medicine chief, you'd
Speaker 1: have band chief, that's one way they break down. But
Speaker 1: you would also have two president chiefs in some instances,
Speaker 1: and then during times of a struggle or war, you
Speaker 1: would have war path chief. And then you would have
Speaker 1: homestead chief, so you would have a chief there. And
Speaker 1: so it is a delineation of duties, but they had
Speaker 1: equal power. Elizabethed In know that that's crazy. Meanwhile, over
Speaker 1: on MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell was not handling it. Well, here's
Speaker 1: a whole series of dumb arguments. We'll take it apart
Speaker 1: after he's done, or maybe while he's talking.
Speaker 5: Musk suffered a humiliating demotion tonight by Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna start the first line there, Ross,
Speaker 1: What do you think the intent of his argument is?
Speaker 1: Do you think he's trying to bait Elon like is
Speaker 1: going to be damaged.
Speaker 2: I've listened to it several times. I don't understand. His
Speaker 2: argument is stupid. It's dumb.
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like he's trying to personally it is,
Speaker 1: tell Elon that they're insulting who you are. Do you
Speaker 1: think Elon gives a flip?
Speaker 2: No, I think Elon is super excited about it, as
Speaker 2: you can see on X.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, all right, so this
Speaker 1: is but that's the that's where I think he's going here,
Speaker 1: and it'll quickly. I think he'll quickly realize why I
Speaker 1: think that. But you're not going to do an ego
Speaker 1: thing to Elon like you can do an ego thing
Speaker 1: to Trump with crowdside. I don't know why it works.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't let it work, but it does work with him,
Speaker 1: And I don't know, man, that's because he's led about
Speaker 1: every moment of the day and he just decided to
Speaker 1: pick a lane. But all right, so that's what this
Speaker 1: is going for. Let's listen to this genius cripkeeper looking
Speaker 1: dude to to enlighten us. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 5: The theory that Elon Musk might become in effect a
Speaker 5: co president or the real president while Donald Trump in
Speaker 5: effect retires to a life of golfing.
Speaker 1: This is you know it. It smells like he smells a
Speaker 1: little like the Cheney Bush thing where they're like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: George Bush, just chopswood. It is ranch. It's Dick Cheney's running.
Speaker 5: Everything suffered a significant setback tonight when Donald Trump announced
Speaker 5: that he would give Elon Musk a job that does
Speaker 5: not exist and will last at most eighteen months.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you know why eighteen months? Because the timeline
Speaker 1: thing we talked about, how many of you are independent contractors.
Speaker 1: It could be construction, you could be uh as, somebody
Speaker 1: comes in and is a consultant for a company. Right,
Speaker 1: this is literally how your life works.
Speaker 2: Oh, we got it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be on the job site three months. Now.
Speaker 1: A lot of times you guys say three months and
Speaker 1: it's five months. But what but whatever the thing is
Speaker 1: there not my listeners, they're all they all stick to it.
Speaker 1: But like this is not unusual, and the job that
Speaker 1: doesn't exist is going to become a recurring theme. Let's
Speaker 1: stick with that because I have I have a I
Speaker 1: have a response, but go ahead.
Speaker 5: And worst of all, Elon Musk, the richest person in
Speaker 5: the world, was assigned a working partner who, like Musk,
Speaker 5: has also never worked in government before. Kramswami, who's good
Speaker 5: not even a billionaire. Elon Musk didn't even get his
Speaker 5: own press reely he's from Donald Trump. He had to
Speaker 5: share it with Rawami.
Speaker 1: What is Ramaswami worth? He's not a billionaire, but he's
Speaker 1: a multi multi hundred millionaire.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean he's coming across as he thinks that
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has this ego about money. He's a tie
Speaker 2: woman to the track evil billion Yeah, that's what That's
Speaker 2: what he's trying to frame this as, where you have
Speaker 2: a guy like Elon Musk who doesn't own a yacht
Speaker 2: like Jeff Bezos and or the other.
Speaker 1: Billion does release them though, so that's a little bit.
Speaker 2: He sleeps on the floor of Tesla of the factory,
Speaker 2: works for the trickle Like, yeah, I don't know why
Speaker 2: he's trying to frame this, but it's not working. It's
Speaker 2: to be a troll job. The entire thing just has
Speaker 2: to be a troll.
Speaker 1: It has to be a troll job because when I
Speaker 1: mentioned about Elon having a significant interest, and now you're
Speaker 1: the person looking for a wait, that's a legitimate concern, right,
Speaker 1: And if if that's the concern that he was making,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be playing the audio. Because one, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it and I already did. But it also tells
Speaker 1: me something because it's not like Lawrence uh, Lawrence Moron
Speaker 1: here hasn't been around billionaires, right, because there's really really
Speaker 1: rich liberal billionaires that is, we'll find out are extensively
Speaker 1: involved in politics and money, especially here in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: So what he's telling me is maybe he doesn't in
Speaker 1: his maybe he's never encountered a billionaire who can operate
Speaker 1: independently of their own ego and being a billionaire. And
Speaker 1: that just tells me that all the moonback billionaires are
Speaker 1: a bunch of psychopaths. I don't know that to be true,
Speaker 1: but that's the vibe I get.
Speaker 5: Here got the first shared press release of any of
Speaker 5: Donald Trump's appointment announcements.
Speaker 1: Who cares even.
Speaker 5: The Fox host who isn't even the richest person at Fox,
Speaker 5: got his own press release from Donald Trump when Donald
Speaker 5: Trump announced that he would nominate Pete Hegseth as Secretary
Speaker 5: of Defense. That's right, a Fox Weekend morning host.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's his whole qualifications.
Speaker 2: It is. It is absolute troll. It doesn't matter if
Speaker 2: it's a shared job. This is what I'm gonna tell
Speaker 2: you right now, how Elon Musk is feeling about that
Speaker 2: press release. He thinks it's hilarious because his doge thing
Speaker 2: has got into an official.
Speaker 1: Right now, and he's been mass tweeting potential logos that
Speaker 1: have the doge dog.
Speaker 2: There might be some people who aren't familiar with him
Speaker 2: on on Twitter x and the whole doge thing. It's
Speaker 2: all right, you know what that's that's fairy, that's that's true.
Speaker 2: The reason, the reason it's funny. It's been like an
Speaker 2: Elon meme going back, like god what ten years now,
Speaker 2: and he got Trump to put it in an announcement.
Speaker 2: It's hilarious. That's how he's reading this. It's funny.
Speaker 1: It's and if you really really don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: it's a cryptocurrency thing, Okay, but it's not. It's it's grown.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's the dog, it's the doge, it's the.
Speaker 2: Elon said, the merchant is going to be fire. That's
Speaker 2: what he said. Last name, that's what he said.
Speaker 1: And it will be probably Yeah, we'll be made in America.
Speaker 1: That's how they try to get them negg. It probably
Speaker 1: will be. But then it'll be made in his factories.
Speaker 1: Then they'll lose their minds again. All right, hold on
Speaker 1: old like this a little bit left.
Speaker 5: If all goes well for the personnel in the Trump administration,
Speaker 5: unlike the last Trump administration, if all goes well, Elon
Speaker 5: Musk will be the first one kicked out because Donald
Speaker 5: Trump already kicked him out in the press release announcing
Speaker 5: his appointment to do a non existent job.
Speaker 1: I know, you guys only had a couple hours to
Speaker 1: put this together from announcement to is that really the
Speaker 1: best you could come up with were you're sitting in
Speaker 1: an editorial meeting. I'm sure, right, you know, here's here's
Speaker 1: the A bloc C block you know all that, And
Speaker 1: that's the best, gotcha you could come up with. That's
Speaker 1: and the jobs that doesn't exist. That's why they're here.
Speaker 1: That's why they're here. Like, this is what O'Donnell doesn't
Speaker 1: understand the reason that this thing is probably going to
Speaker 1: be a thing and is now very likely going to
Speaker 1: be a thing, is because of jobs that don't exist.
Speaker 1: Case in point, let me just let's just stick with
Speaker 1: Health and Human Services, shall we. This is reporting from
Speaker 1: look at that MSNBC Weird in conjunction with reporters from
Speaker 1: UH was this Tampa Time Tampa Bay Times talking about
Speaker 1: DEI employees that have been added and departments that have
Speaker 1: been added under the Biden administration. So for the purpose
Speaker 1: of this, these were jobs that didn't exist. Currently, taxpayers
Speaker 1: employ two hundred and ninety seven DEI staffers at Health
Speaker 1: and Human Services just in the general sense, right they
Speaker 1: have there's a DEI staffer in each little department and
Speaker 1: and all in the you know, and so they're monitoring people.
Speaker 1: They're the Karens of their groups. There's almost three hundred.
Speaker 1: Each of those three hundred makes over one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year plus benefits. But that's not all. In
Speaker 1: addition to that, they have several sub departments. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'm just going to highlight one of them. They have
Speaker 1: four primary ones, but the biggest one is the two
Speaker 1: hundred and nine workers for the Office of Minority Health,
Speaker 1: which is an entire office that didn't exist, staff by
Speaker 1: two hundred and nine people who fill jobs that also
Speaker 1: didn't exist, and who do things like just in case,
Speaker 1: What does that mean? What do they do? Let me
Speaker 1: give you an example. Well, here's their mission statement. The
Speaker 1: Office of Minority Health exists to quote improve the health
Speaker 1: of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of
Speaker 1: health policies and programs that will help eliminate health disparities.
Speaker 1: A word salad, but it's also something that I can't
Speaker 1: believe doesn't run a foul of civil rights legislation. So
Speaker 1: if you then go to their website and click wins,
Speaker 1: right ros, If you had a website and under it
Speaker 1: you had wins, what would you put under wins? You'd
Speaker 1: put the most impressive stuff you've.
Speaker 2: Done, right.
Speaker 1: First, win You ready you think I'm making you think
Speaker 1: I'm making this up. I'm not making this up. Hey,
Speaker 1: hold on, load, loadload. I had to click back. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go wins. Vaccine Equity What is vaccine equity?
Speaker 1: Vaccine Equity was a pilot program in Atlanta I aimed
Speaker 1: at getting monkey pocks vaccine doses to black gay men
Speaker 1: to help celebrate diversity and the impact of distinctly black,
Speaker 1: gay and queer culture within the community. Now, if you
Speaker 1: got monkey pox, I white blacker, Fine, this sounds like
Speaker 1: a healthy human services issue because there is a certain
Speaker 1: contagious nature to it. But how does that celebrate diversity?
Speaker 1: Aren't you just trying to help people who have this disease,
Speaker 1: which is an unusual and pretty horrific one, right? Why
Speaker 1: is that a diversity said? Do you think if you're
Speaker 1: a black gay man and you have monkey pocks and
Speaker 1: maybe your white partner doesn't, that you're celebrating diversity there,
Speaker 1: like the whole thing would. Regardless of what you think
Speaker 1: of all this DEI stuff, you have to admit that
Speaker 1: most of these positions and the ones I just told
Speaker 1: you about with an HHS and I just that was
Speaker 1: five hundred jobs between the two or four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty you're complaining about two. By the way, uh ross,
Speaker 1: do you think, oh, I'm sorry, look at that, all right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break, be right back. You're trying
Speaker 1: to appeal to the ego on somebody who really hasn't
Speaker 1: demonstra and I think the theory. The theory I have
Speaker 1: is that's what they think of Trump, so anyone around
Speaker 1: Trump therefore must respond in the same way. But I've
Speaker 1: seen no indication that either the Veck or Elon really care.
Speaker 1: Especially Elon. He's like, he's like a kid in a
Speaker 1: candy store this morning, and sometimes you want to Ross, Well,
Speaker 1: Ross was something off the air. I think that's really important.
Speaker 1: It's why one other motivation you think Trump has with Elon?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because people are like, well, why does he
Speaker 2: have Elon around him so much? Like why does he
Speaker 2: respect him? I don't know. Maybe he respects Elon because
Speaker 2: Elon is the richest guy in the world has ever known,
Speaker 2: and maybe you know, Trump sees worth in that. He
Speaker 2: could be jealous of it. It could be straight up like,
Speaker 2: how did this guy become the richest guy in the
Speaker 2: history of the world. That's something to be respected, right,
Speaker 2: And even if.
Speaker 1: You have a lot of similarities, you're gonna have blind spots.
Speaker 1: How did Trump make most of his money real estate? Right?
Speaker 1: That's his thing, real estate and stakes. Sorry, real estate merely.
Speaker 1: That's not Elon's jam, I mean all, but by the way,
Speaker 1: it is kind of a jam. Most billionaires hold extensive
Speaker 1: land holdings, and Elon does have a lot of land
Speaker 1: land holdings, but he mostly uses them to shoot rockets
Speaker 1: off of so or test stuff or build buildings those
Speaker 1: kinds of things. So that's not it. But sometimes you
Speaker 1: gotta go like ross you are. If people chose which
Speaker 1: of the two of us is the bigger video game guy,
Speaker 1: hands down, you're gonna win, right, I would think, So, yeah,
Speaker 1: what if they What if you had a question about Diablo,
Speaker 1: who would you go to? Who would you me?
Speaker 2: I'll go to you because I don't play that game,
Speaker 2: but I know you do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well kind of I thought you're gonna say, like
Speaker 1: DIBs or one of your gamer buddies. But thank you
Speaker 1: for that. I appreciate that you talk to them too.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you just to make sure I wasn't full of crap? Though?
Speaker 2: I no, I mean, I would trust, but verify.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fair, all right? So like that. But that's
Speaker 1: that's how that works. That's on normal people that are
Speaker 1: successful operate. If if you're stuck in your little petty
Speaker 1: jealousy box with the rest of your crew over at MSNBC,
Speaker 1: I can understand how your worldview would be that man.
Speaker 2: Well, there's this thing, and you see it on the
Speaker 2: left where they keep expecting Elon to fail because they
Speaker 2: think he's an idiot, right, They think he just stumbled
Speaker 2: into being the richest guy of the world has ever known.
Speaker 2: And you do not become the richest guy of the
Speaker 2: world has ever known by accident. You get that way, right,
Speaker 2: because you're really smart. And it's about time they start
Speaker 2: betting on Elon because so far the dude doesn't seem
Speaker 2: to miss. Remember he said I'm going to buy I'm
Speaker 2: going to buy Twitter, and they're like, that's laughable, you'll
Speaker 2: never buy it. He bought it, and then he started
Speaker 2: cutting and they said, oh, it's going to fail and
Speaker 2: it's going to crash. It's more efficient and it's more profitable,
Speaker 2: and there's more people on it that there's ever been.
Speaker 2: He keeps doing and then he said, oh, well, now
Speaker 2: I'm going to campaign for Trump and they said this
Speaker 2: is it. It's the walls closing in again, thing they
Speaker 2: used to do with Trump. Right, They've got to start
Speaker 2: learning that maybe the dude that you think is an
Speaker 2: idiot and just became the richest guy the world is
Speaker 2: ever maybe he's pretty damn smart.
Speaker 1: And one of the bigger one of the biggest tests
Speaker 1: is not just making money, because it admittedly Elon and
Speaker 1: Trump Trump to a much greater extent they did have.
Speaker 1: There was some family money there, and there was also
Speaker 1: the transference. Like nobody debates that Trump got what was
Speaker 1: it a million dollar seed money from his dad. That's fine,
Speaker 1: but how many of you know somebody who inherited money
Speaker 1: who's broke As a joke, and I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1: I went to school with somebody who his parents owned
Speaker 1: a we'll just say, a successful, very successful business. His
Speaker 1: parents died and I think it was a car accident,
Speaker 1: but I don't remember this was This was because this
Speaker 1: happened after I had left. So he's an adult now,
Speaker 1: he's in his twenties, and they died, and he decided
Speaker 1: that he was going to sell the business. Now nobody
Speaker 1: blamed him for that. He had his own thing going
Speaker 1: and he wasn't living there anymore, and he had a
Speaker 1: family by then. I think he had one or two
Speaker 1: kids by then, and so he sold it and he
Speaker 1: got I want to say, he got like three million
Speaker 1: bucks for it, which you know we're talking early two thousands.
Speaker 1: You could do a lot with three million dollars. You
Speaker 1: can do a lot with it today if you're smart.
Speaker 1: He lives in a busted ass house now and he
Speaker 1: worked ironically, he kind of works in the same genre
Speaker 1: of what his parents' business was. You know why, because
Speaker 1: he went bonkers with that money. He went crazy. I
Speaker 1: remember seeing a picture of the lift kid, the lifted
Speaker 1: truck that he had, which you know Wyoming and probably
Speaker 1: for many of you who live Rule that's kind of
Speaker 1: a little status symbol. It was the craziest thing he
Speaker 1: had he had. Uh, the what am I? Why am
Speaker 1: I not thinking of this? Whether the truck could raise
Speaker 1: in lower significant because so that like girls could get in.
Speaker 1: He didn't need it for him. He's a tall dude,
Speaker 1: like I remember that, and his wife wasn't that short.
Speaker 1: But it's like, that's the only time I've seen anyone
Speaker 1: do that. She ended up divorcing him, by the way,
Speaker 1: like real quick, and this was after the money was gone,
Speaker 1: and I guess he just kind of lost it. But
Speaker 1: like people react differently, so you can say they got
Speaker 1: a heads up. It's really hard, especially when you're going
Speaker 1: out making big deals, to hold onto money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, Lawrence o'donald like he's one of these
Speaker 2: guys that thinks that Elon just stumbled into it. I
Speaker 2: guarantee give give him a time machine and we'll start
Speaker 2: Laurence o'donald out with all the resources that Elon Musk
Speaker 2: had grown up. Right, there's a ninety nine point nine
Speaker 2: percent chance that he will fail and achievement, achieving what
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has achieved.
Speaker 1: Well, no, because let's go back to when Donald Lawrence
Speaker 1: o donal started his career. If he just buys standard oil,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. What is that guy one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty that is a that would be my chip?
Speaker 1: Buy standard oil, sir. But but but you know, flip
Speaker 1: it quick.
Speaker 2: Okay, to be fair. I was surprised to learn that
Speaker 2: Lawrence o'donald is still on TV, and he does, like
Speaker 2: you said, he looks very old. And look, the dude
Speaker 2: needs a n app he needs you literally, why are
Speaker 2: you on TV? Lawrence? You were a writer for the
Speaker 2: West Wing, hey man?
Speaker 1: Like you know what? That is the other irony of
Speaker 1: it when he turned to his panel because he because
Speaker 1: remember one of his beefs was they've never been in government?
Speaker 1: Well you're now going to turn to a panel of people,
Speaker 1: two of which were never in media until they were
Speaker 1: in government.
Speaker 2: So right, that's that's the trend, is that you work
Speaker 2: for the Obama administration, or you work for the buyer
Speaker 2: or the the Obama or Biden administration, the Socy politics,
Speaker 2: and then you become you on an MSNBC or NBC
Speaker 2: CB at one of the network panels. That's how it goes.
Speaker 2: So and then you're like, oh my god, how could
Speaker 2: the media be so biased? I don't know, because you
Speaker 2: all used.
Speaker 1: To work for Obama higher partisans.
Speaker 2: These Trump appointments, Right, maybe he's onto something right once again,
Speaker 2: maybe you should start betting on these people. Because if
Speaker 2: you believe that DC and the in the federal government
Speaker 2: is full of you know, swamp creatures, how about we
Speaker 2: bring people in that have never worked for the federal government.
Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how are we going to create a five
Speaker 1: hundred person DEI office just in health and human services?
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
Speaker 1: Normal people don't want to do that because it's not normal.
Speaker 1: Ah geez, all right, like let me let me just
Speaker 1: peel into something else. And this is gonna get people
Speaker 1: fired up and I saw that Senator Ted Budd did
Speaker 1: tweet that he is quote he is. It was more aggressive.
Speaker 1: It was actually like, we're on this. So the woman
Speaker 1: who was the FEMA director was on the FEMA director.
Speaker 1: She's me THEMA field director who was the one who
Speaker 1: gave the directive not to skip the Trump houses down
Speaker 1: in Florida. That's where that directive came out. So she's
Speaker 1: been doing interviews and I mentioned yesterday she said in
Speaker 1: an interview she's a patsy. Well she got more specific
Speaker 1: on Roland Martin's Who's not who? By the way, I
Speaker 1: don't know. There's like five you're gonna get this every
Speaker 1: time I hear that who does a radio show? He's
Speaker 1: a black guy does a radio show. In my mind,
Speaker 1: I'm like, why is the bass fisherman doing a radio show?
Speaker 2: Is a hey.
Speaker 1: Some of us grew up watching fishing on TV even
Speaker 1: as kids. Son, That's what That's the thing five of
Speaker 1: you will get, all right. So anyway, she's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm a patsy. This ain't me. And I got proof. Now,
Speaker 1: whether she does or not, keep in mind that this
Speaker 1: is a woman who's flipping on her murder accomplice okay,
Speaker 1: so take take everything with the grainisalt. This Ross said
Speaker 1: trust but verified, but she specifically talks about.
Speaker 7: Us stating that I was fired.
Speaker 8: They all alleged that these actions were made on my
Speaker 8: own recognizances and that it was for my own political
Speaker 8: What is there recognizance?
Speaker 1: All right, Sometimes I misspeak, so anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, advances.
Speaker 8: However, if you look at the record, there is what
Speaker 8: we call a community trend. And unfortunately, it just so
Speaker 8: happened that the political hostility that was encountered by my team,
Speaker 8: and I was on two different teams during this employment,
Speaker 8: they just so happened to have the Trump campaign signage.
Speaker 8: FEMA always preaches avoidance first and then de escalation, so
Speaker 8: this is not isolated.
Speaker 7: This is a colossal.
Speaker 8: Event of avoidance, not just in the state of Florida,
Speaker 8: but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas.
Speaker 7: Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that
Speaker 7: they do not know. But if you ask the DSA
Speaker 7: crew leads and specialists what they are experiencing in the field,
Speaker 7: they will tell you. Demand for FEMA to give you
Speaker 7: those incident reports.
Speaker 1: No demand that those people. And this is what's important.
Speaker 1: She didn't just say this is what I experienced, is
Speaker 1: he said? She said with the FEMA director. She gave
Speaker 1: a list, or she gave a job classification and a
Speaker 1: geographic location. That whittles it down to dozens, probably dozens
Speaker 1: of people pray, maybe even more than dozens. Every single
Speaker 1: one needs a congressional subpoena. The governor of Florida, on
Speaker 1: De Santis, is on this. Senator Ted budd I saw
Speaker 1: he said that he's on this. South Carolina. You had
Speaker 1: a couple of different folks down there, including Greenville was
Speaker 1: a Greenville's mayor. But the point is where is Roy Cooper.
Speaker 1: You don't have to believe her, because again there is
Speaker 1: a certain cover your butt going on here. But you
Speaker 1: don't have to believe her. But she gave you. She
Speaker 1: can give you names names, but she gave you names.
Speaker 1: These are leadership, These are middle management positions where you
Speaker 1: know who they are. Get to it. Because I got
Speaker 1: called a peddlar misinformation, many of you did. And if
Speaker 1: what she says is true, and I'm already seeing this
Speaker 1: narrative emerge ready, Oh we didn't see. It's not that
Speaker 1: it didn't happen, it's that it's a good thing. It
Speaker 1: happened because and this is like, this is one of
Speaker 1: the things Pete Calender likes to say, and it's true.
Speaker 1: Here it transitions from it's not happening to it is happening,
Speaker 1: but it's a good thing. And I kid you not.
Speaker 1: I saw people who would finally go, all right, this
Speaker 1: probably did happen. Who then argument is, well, imagine having
Speaker 1: to approach a Maga home. They don't even they don't
Speaker 1: like the government. They're probably gonna shoot at you. They
Speaker 1: are a bunch of militia people. And I'm like, well, well,
Speaker 1: so now you're saying it happened, but you you're cool
Speaker 1: with it. So if a disaster hits during the Trump
Speaker 1: presidency and you had one of those we welcome everyone
Speaker 1: signs in front of your house, you shouldn't get help.
Speaker 1: The hell is wrong with people? All right, raced Age,
Speaker 1: It's nothing wrong with him, although occasionally, you know, not
Speaker 1: one hundred percent to being a weather guy, but pretty close.
Speaker 9: That's why we I get a question for you. Did
Speaker 9: you have the brown Roland Martin fishing glass good sunglasses?
Speaker 2: Good, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Good man.
Speaker 2: I had them. I think I had multiple pairs.
Speaker 4: Would you have to do. You had to buy.
Speaker 1: Something, dude. I was the only kid that would transition
Speaker 1: from Sunday Morning cartoon, Saturday morning cartoons to Sunday morning fishing, yeah,
Speaker 1: or Saturday afternoon fishing. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I mean good, better and different. I don't have it fish.
Speaker 1: I don't talk about it a bunch because I don't
Speaker 1: do it anymore. So when I did radio in Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: I also did TV and then voiceover stuff, and I
Speaker 1: got to work with the lenders I worked with in
Speaker 1: Fishermen and I worked for North American Hunter Fishermen on projects. Okay,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, man, So I got to and I to
Speaker 1: go to a couple of shoots. Mostly I just did
Speaker 1: voiceover on videos and whatnot, but I went to shoots
Speaker 1: with these guys, and I was like living the dream
Speaker 1: as a kid. Man was living the living the dream
Speaker 1: I had as a kid.
Speaker 9: You really thought you were the you were the man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 9: You come out and you go fish and you pull
Speaker 9: out those brown yes, my mom, I could probably dig
Speaker 9: back of the boxes.
Speaker 2: In the attic.
Speaker 1: But you can't have them on too much because if
Speaker 1: a guy sees you go buying a boat with those,
Speaker 1: he knows, you know, where the fish are and you're
Speaker 1: gonna get.
Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, Uh well chilli morning.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 9: Frost advisories covered up most of the tried and the triangle,
Speaker 9: first time we've seen that. Some numbers in the thirties
Speaker 9: in many places. Some areas are closer to forty, especially
Speaker 9: down her Fayetteville. A beautiful day today with plenty of sunshine,
Speaker 9: a little bit fifties tonight, up a couple degrees rain tomorrow.
Speaker 9: Looks like that rain will start to roll in west
Speaker 9: east of the morning into the afternoon, maybe up to
Speaker 9: half inch, maybe a little bit more in spots, but
Speaker 9: not looking at a flood threat. Looks like we'll get
Speaker 9: back into sunshine by Friday afternoon, Sunday weekend, sunny early
Speaker 9: next week, milder temperatures and then some indications a big
Speaker 9: dump of cold air coming down here. Sometimes it'll end
Speaker 9: it next week, So keep an eye on that and
Speaker 9: what looks like it's going to become Sarah that could
Speaker 9: get into the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it coming up on
Speaker 1: the show. But I think Biden's entered into that thing
Speaker 1: that Ross was excited about that one day when you're
Speaker 1: old and it doesn't matter what you do. You can
Speaker 1: just be awful to people and maybe he's gonna have
Speaker 1: some fun with it. We'll share that with you. And
Speaker 1: this person on the internet decided to do they hey
Speaker 1: fellow kids, meme. We'll we'll get into that. But my
Speaker 1: favorite story, and it's it's a something, it's a Law
Speaker 1: and Order episode I remembered, is this guy in Wisconsin
Speaker 1: who he just decided to do something different and it's
Speaker 1: a crazy story. We'll get that for you next CaCO
Speaker 1: Day Radio program. A lot of examples out there where
Speaker 1: people looked at what was going on with their life
Speaker 1: and they went, you know what, you know what, I'm out.
Speaker 1: And sometimes that's a good thing. Like you quit a job,
Speaker 1: maybe just you realize it's a dead end thing. And
Speaker 1: he pulled the trigger there and and you parlayed into
Speaker 1: something better. I'll tell you. There's a lot of there's
Speaker 1: a lot of very inspirational stories where people talk about
Speaker 1: how they felt trapped and they had to do something.
Speaker 1: Maybe they started their own business and they became very
Speaker 1: successful and I again it's not one hundred percent, but
Speaker 1: you got to make that change. Then there's dad went
Speaker 1: to the store for a pack of cigarette and never
Speaker 1: came home kind of stuff. And you know that's that's
Speaker 1: bury him under the prison stuff. This guy though, Holy
Speaker 1: cow up in Wisconsin. You ready, here's the scene center, let's.
Speaker 6: Do this this morning a stunning discovery in the search
Speaker 6: for a missing Wisconsin husband and father of three.
Speaker 10: Family comes up with that he's drowned. And now all
Speaker 10: of a sudden they come up with he's not in
Speaker 10: the lake, he's someplace else.
Speaker 6: Investigators think Ryan Borgart didn't drown in this lake, but
Speaker 6: instead say he faked his own death to run off
Speaker 6: to Europe with a woman he met online.
Speaker 10: We identified that he purchased some airline coupons that he
Speaker 10: took out a life insurance policy.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know what he called it. Coupons, but
Speaker 1: they're coupons. But yeah, yeah, And frankly, the setup here
Speaker 1: doesn't even do a good enough job explaining what happened
Speaker 1: because he didn't run. It makes it sound like he
Speaker 1: met a woman at you know, at work. They decided
Speaker 1: to screw it, let's go, let's go to Europe together.
Speaker 1: That is not what happened. It's a very different thing.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna come back, We come back. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you the rest of the report here, but I'm
Speaker 1: also going to detail all the things he did and
Speaker 1: rest assured you're gonna this is. It's far crazier. Do
Speaker 1: you even know? Right now? And also I want to
Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do now? Wild story out of
Speaker 1: Wisconsin too. You got this guy? This is in Green
Speaker 1: Lake County. Will there be watertown? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: try to ignore Wisconsin when I live next door. Let's
Speaker 1: see here. So anyway, he's in Wisconsin. He's just a dude.
Speaker 1: He's got the all American family right, looking at the
Speaker 1: picture here there he is hanging out with the kids,
Speaker 1: got the wife there, big group photo. But what's simmering
Speaker 1: underneath is clearly some unhappiness. So he did what gets
Speaker 1: a lot of people in trouble these days. He went
Speaker 1: on the internet and he met somebody. But he didn't
Speaker 1: just meet. He didn't just go on tender, you know,
Speaker 1: and put anything within ten miles. No, no, no, he
Speaker 1: he went a little further. And then as the relationship blossomed,
Speaker 1: the two had never met. As it blossomed, a plan
Speaker 1: started to come together. And the plan was he was
Speaker 1: going to take a kayak out on I'm assuming Green Lake,
Speaker 1: whatever the lake was there and when, and then at
Speaker 1: some point he would sneak out of there, I guess,
Speaker 1: maybe look for a blind spot. Maybe he swam, or
Speaker 1: he had another kayak or whatever. He would then overturn
Speaker 1: his fishing kayak. Inside of the fishing kayak, you would
Speaker 1: find his fishing pole, wallet, keys, his driver's license, and
Speaker 1: near where the launch was his car.
Speaker 2: And he's gone.
Speaker 1: And for a month, for a month, they had rescue
Speaker 1: teams searching that lake. And as you know, when it
Speaker 1: comes to lake searches, sometimes people do drown in lakes
Speaker 1: and you don't find him ttil a long time until turnover.
Speaker 1: It's a thing called turnover that happens in lake and
Speaker 1: it's basically when the temperature at the bottom flips with
Speaker 1: which is warmer, which is cooler with water above it.
Speaker 1: And it's why there's times of the year where lake,
Speaker 1: especially in colder areas, they're just unfishable because there's just
Speaker 1: so much crap floating. It's called turnover. In Wisconsin. Obviously
Speaker 1: this is going to be a thing. So that gives
Speaker 1: him a big lead time, is what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: instead he decided to go meet this person he met online,
Speaker 1: who again was not down the street. It's not somebody
Speaker 1: from tinder a little further away.
Speaker 6: The forty year old was first reported missing health when
Speaker 6: he didn't come home after kayaking on this lake near
Speaker 6: his home in Wisconsin. Police finding a capsized kayak and
Speaker 6: Boregard's car parked nearby. Fisherman finding his fishing pole and
Speaker 6: tackle box with his wallet, keys, and license inside. An
Speaker 6: army of search and rescue volunteers began scouring the lake
Speaker 6: to bring him home. Keith Kormacan, who runs an organization
Speaker 6: called Bruce's Legacy, was on the water searching for nearly
Speaker 6: a month.
Speaker 4: You know what a waste of time that we did.
Speaker 11: We put so much time and an effort into that case.
Speaker 4: Very disappointed in him.
Speaker 1: Anybody that could do that and cut number three.
Speaker 6: Here we go, the apparent ruse unraveling last month. Investigators
Speaker 6: became suspicious after they found out Bogard's name had been
Speaker 6: checked by Canadian law enforcement August thirteenth, the day after
Speaker 6: his disappearance. They discovered he'd gotten a new passport last
Speaker 6: January after reporting his missing and he'd taken out a
Speaker 6: three hundred and seventy five thousand dollar all their life
Speaker 6: insurance policy. Investigators say Boorgarde had been communicating with a
Speaker 6: woman in Who'zbekistan and even move money to a foreign
Speaker 6: bank before disappearing. Authorities now pleading with him to phone home.
Speaker 10: The whole thing is to get Ryan back with his family.
Speaker 10: He's got three kids and they really missed their dad.
Speaker 1: All right, here's I feel horrible for the kids. I
Speaker 1: just said, I want to be a thousand percent here.
Speaker 1: They don't deserve any of this, or or the wife
Speaker 1: for that matter, as far as I can tell. Unless
Speaker 1: there's some crazy thing we don't know. Imagine concocting that
Speaker 1: every because that does it. You didn't do that on
Speaker 1: a whim, or you didn't meet somebody and go let's
Speaker 1: run off together like it's a rom com. You you
Speaker 1: know what? You know now? The planning it takes to
Speaker 1: go to his Bekistan. I actually looked up the entry requirements.
Speaker 1: It's not even that easy to get into there as
Speaker 1: a United States citizen, really not. And I don't like
Speaker 1: I don't And by the way, you've never met this woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say, how do we know
Speaker 2: it's even it's like a three or something. Right, you
Speaker 2: have no idea, it's act.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you and you're just you threw the you
Speaker 1: threw every bit of it away on this What if
Speaker 1: I get the heart once with the heart once? I
Speaker 1: literally saw somebody write that under there, and I don't
Speaker 1: think of it sarcastically. And whoever their spouses should be
Speaker 1: really unnoticed. Now the other side is why don't women
Speaker 1: want to see men happy? But Kitty, I'm kidding. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got her a three hundred and seventy five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars life insurance policy, but like, what do you? What
Speaker 1: do you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But if he comes back, he's never going to hear
Speaker 2: the end of it.
Speaker 1: Right, That's the other thing, because that was gonna be
Speaker 1: my next question. So if you're this guy, now you
Speaker 1: know it's up, like everyone knows what's up your news,
Speaker 1: beck Is Dan, You're probably they're probably not going to
Speaker 1: extradite you because what are they going to charge him with?
Speaker 1: Probably insurance fraud. But that'll be a tough part because
Speaker 1: he's beck Is and I don't think we have extradition
Speaker 1: with them. And let's say let's say you showed up
Speaker 1: and this woman is just as hot and everything's good
Speaker 1: to go. You still every day if you have a
Speaker 1: conscious in the back of your mind, you know, your
Speaker 1: kids are like, why where's I want to see my dad?
Speaker 1: How do you even begin to mend that even if
Speaker 1: you make the decisions, you're gonna stay over there because
Speaker 1: criminal charges? How how does that work? I mean, this
Speaker 1: is governor of South Carolina stuff, but worse somehow. I
Speaker 1: mean he went to Argentina. I've been to Argentina.
Speaker 2: I forgot all about that. Dude.
Speaker 1: Well, he went hiking on the right, yeah, on the trail.
Speaker 1: I never wrote a crazy story that was he started
Speaker 1: to hear it, like you're like, I'm sorry. Then he
Speaker 1: did the what the governor of this of a state did?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: Like, because that's a dude who really can't get away?
Speaker 11: This guy vand singing country roads, you know, just walking
Speaker 11: on the old l App trail there, huh? Checking in going
Speaker 11: where the banjo the banjo around.
Speaker 1: The fire to the place. Oh yeah, that'll never that
Speaker 1: story will never not be insanely funny and insane. But
Speaker 1: this guy, like, what do you do? And to Ross's point,
Speaker 1: if you come back right every if you let's say
Speaker 1: you're cooking dinner. Let's it's you mended it somehow. I
Speaker 1: don't know how that's possible. Cooking dinner. And I don't
Speaker 1: know she didn't have enough rice, and you're like, I'll
Speaker 1: go to the store for rice. She's gonna be like
Speaker 1: he is Becky Rice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ten years from now, she just brings it up.
Speaker 2: Remember that time you fake your death, then to Kayak
Speaker 2: and move to Uzbekistan. Like she'll never let it go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be some little fight that she's wrong on anyway.
Speaker 1: But she's got that Trump card, man, she got that
Speaker 1: Trump card. She's like, I know I'm wrong. I don't care.
Speaker 1: Remember that time. Yeah, and you and you're just cooked, man.
Speaker 1: So I don't know that that's quite repairable. But uh.
Speaker 1: And then the other one, the other version is what
Speaker 1: if you showed over and it is some three hundred
Speaker 1: pounds dude named Abdul or whatever I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of it. Huzbekistan is at a Muslim card I think
Speaker 1: it is. So I don't know, but let's just say
Speaker 1: his name is Jim right, and you're like, oh, this sucks.
Speaker 1: Now you're in his Bekistan, which from my little bit
Speaker 1: of research that I know about his bekistan. I don't
Speaker 1: feel like you're gonna be happy there, that'd be fair.
Speaker 1: It is poor enough that I don't know. Maybe there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of other is becky women that are tripping
Speaker 1: all over this dude. But what an absolutely insane story.
Speaker 1: And he's just like, nah, we'll go ahead and do this.
Speaker 1: But people do crazy stuff for love. Do you know
Speaker 1: one of my favorite local stories Ross Do you remember
Speaker 1: this a few years ago where a guy pretended to
Speaker 1: be a military dude and and got and took a
Speaker 1: helicopter to Sas to pick up a woman. Yeah?
Speaker 2: I remember that. Yep. Yeah, he did the whole like
Speaker 2: you meet somebody at the bar and you tell me
Speaker 2: like this, you know, super spy thing, and you take
Speaker 2: your leg to the next like ten levels above it.
Speaker 1: I almost respected the hustle. Not that not that what
Speaker 1: he did, because screw that guy, But like the effort
Speaker 1: that he put in. He didn't just you know, he
Speaker 1: didn't just like have some glasses. I'm cia, but don't
Speaker 1: tell anyone right now.
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes he you just have to appreciate the effort. No,
Speaker 2: he brought a he brought a helicopter into this. There
Speaker 2: you go. This guy went to his bechis stand man.
Speaker 1: All right? So uh eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seventy four. So, just to recap, most TV
Speaker 1: networks and leftists like Elizabeth warrener very upset over vivek Elon,
Speaker 1: Pete Haig Seth, John Ratliffe, probably for CIA. Oh, the
Speaker 1: Pentagon's gotta be Pedagon. She doesn't have the Pentagon. The
Speaker 1: three letter agencies. Man, we've had We've had Ratliffe on.
Speaker 1: Remember he was like acting director because they wouldn't confirm
Speaker 1: him for Trump for a little while. For National Intelligence.
Speaker 1: I think, uh, he comes across a very sharp dude.
Speaker 1: So look, that's that's they're losing their minds. And uh,
Speaker 1: we'll go with that, Boston Paul, send me weird stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to read that, Boston Paul. So
Speaker 1: you got that. You have the FEMA lady who was fired,
Speaker 1: who say no, no, no, this is sop ignoring Trump signs.
Speaker 1: And in fact, it's not just Florida, it's North Carolina,
Speaker 1: it's the Carolina. She said, that's scandal, man, if that's true.
Speaker 1: But again, she also is in a position where she
Speaker 1: feels she's being patsied here and she might have liability,
Speaker 1: so trust but verify in this sense that she told
Speaker 1: you who to talk to. There need to be congressional
Speaker 1: subpoenas on January twenty second, but in fact the House
Speaker 1: can get rolling on this. Now talk to those people,
Speaker 1: and if that's happening at FEMA, burn it down, not literally,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But there is a fourth
Speaker 1: story in our try what was going to be a trifecta,
Speaker 1: and then I saw this lunatic and I was going
Speaker 1: to ignore it, but now I'm not. The Mayor of
Speaker 1: Durham is delusional. The Mayor of Durham is stupid and
Speaker 1: is going to get people killed. And I don't use
Speaker 1: the ad Hominin has just add Hominin here. I think
Speaker 1: that he's not smart. He own he knows one thing,
Speaker 1: and that's grift and race hustle over big things, and
Speaker 1: that's not going to serve you well.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: This is a problem, and it is a problem that
Speaker 1: if you've listened to the show for five minutes. There
Speaker 1: are parts of the city of Durham that I love.
Speaker 1: I know that sounds weird to you. There's some great restaurants.
Speaker 1: I have some good friends over there. I think going
Speaker 1: to see a ballpark, Yes, I understand the ril thing.
Speaker 1: I think going to a Durham Bulls game should be
Speaker 1: a rite of passage when people move here, because it's
Speaker 1: just if you watch the movie or any of its
Speaker 1: nostalgic that the tobacco district there, the warehouse where they
Speaker 1: renovated there. It's great, but there is this constant need
Speaker 1: to ignore the fact that a six year old kid
Speaker 1: can't think he's going to go get a snow cone
Speaker 1: one day and then some failed rapper shoots him in
Speaker 1: the face. And you know how angry that story made me.
Speaker 1: So when I see who the guy in charge over
Speaker 1: there is saying the crap that he's saying here, because
Speaker 1: now it's not just his ass in a sling, but
Speaker 1: it's other cities that are having to deal with his
Speaker 1: inability and his unwillingness to do stuff. No, you're making
Speaker 1: the show, and you're making it next hang on, as
Speaker 1: somebody wrote, he goes. You know, it really highlights the
Speaker 1: difference between men and women. When men go off to cheat,
Speaker 1: they have to fake their own death, which is so
Speaker 1: in a way, they're taking ownership. When women want to cheat,
Speaker 1: they just claim that they were tricked or kidnapped into it.
Speaker 1: What ross That sounds like a do with a backstory
Speaker 1: that's a hyper specific sir. So I'm sorry the or
Speaker 1: you watch it on TV, I don't know, but any who,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. All right, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: Durham Mare. And you know what, you know, the one
Speaker 1: thing I don't do on this show, and I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people do this is when they talk
Speaker 1: about Durham. I've heard I've heard people use the same
Speaker 1: joke name for it, where they called Deroc or Drac. Right,
Speaker 1: it's obviously a play on the word iraq. If you've
Speaker 1: lived in the Triangle for more than three seconds, you've
Speaker 1: heard you've lived in the North Carolina more than five seconds,
Speaker 1: probably heard it. And again I am very clear here.
Speaker 1: I know I'm not one of these people. It's just
Speaker 1: like the whole city of Durham is trash. I don't
Speaker 1: believe that, even though it is moon batted to the gills,
Speaker 1: probably due to its proximity to a chapel hill, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of folks that aren't. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: there's a lot of cool stuff over there. The d
Speaker 1: Pak is an amazing facility, and and and that's fine. However,
Speaker 1: when you have leadership who doesn't seemingly care, it becomes
Speaker 1: a huge quality of life issue. Yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and weigh in on it, even though I don't
Speaker 1: live in Durham. I almost did, I kid you not.
Speaker 1: I looked at a really this is before it started
Speaker 1: to blow up, a really really nice place in Durham,
Speaker 1: and I just it was just too far from where
Speaker 1: the studios were. So with that in mind, I'm doing
Speaker 1: this not too pick on Durham or Duroc Drac, but
Speaker 1: rather because your mayor's an idiot and your mayor is dangerous,
Speaker 1: I think it is more important.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: This went back to. I remember when I really was like,
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing over there? I remember when
Speaker 1: Durham seemed to have a pretty competent police chief. He
Speaker 1: was a Hispanic guy too, and they ran him over
Speaker 1: racism stuff and I'm just like, this is dumb. And
Speaker 1: then they just brought in people. The one woman was okay,
Speaker 1: but they brought in people just didn't seem to care
Speaker 1: as much. So the newly minted mayor there, who's responding
Speaker 1: to an article that I kid you not, was done
Speaker 1: by WRL formally of Twitter, but not now Ross did
Speaker 1: I send you where They've actually explained that this was
Speaker 1: intentional to leave Twitter and go over to Blue Sky.
Speaker 1: That I said more Leslie tweeted or posted something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they're just out and I happened to see that
Speaker 1: a bunch of reporters, Washington reporters are also leaving Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I know people are like good, but also they'll
Speaker 1: be back.
Speaker 2: You know, A part of me wants to, like all
Speaker 2: of us just to go over there mess with him.
Speaker 2: I mean I don't, I don't want to, but here's
Speaker 2: the thing I want. I want you what's that.
Speaker 1: I saw somebody suggest that and I'm wonder if did that?
Speaker 1: Was that your tweeters?
Speaker 2: No, I was just thinking I haven't talked about it yet,
Speaker 2: but you know, yeah, I want to support Elon. I
Speaker 2: love Twitter and next but at the same point, be funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know blu Sky they would immediately ban
Speaker 1: all those accounts.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, because it's like the old Twitter. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but it'd be great just you know, just sign up
Speaker 2: and stick your head out and be like, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: what's going on over here?
Speaker 1: You're like Wow, No, where do we go? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: eventually you want to run them to parlor just for
Speaker 1: something to do. Let's go to parlor, everybody, That's what
Speaker 1: they should do, although that might be too fresh in
Speaker 1: the minds of people. Phone number eight eight eight nine
Speaker 1: three four seven eight seven four. All Right, so we're
Speaker 1: talking about the Merederham and this is not just It's
Speaker 1: not just me. I'm gonna help, right, I'm not just
Speaker 1: here too well with the with the mirror of Durham.
Speaker 1: I at this point, I just I have no use
Speaker 1: for the guy. So that's that's one thing. But the
Speaker 1: scenario still persists. So this is the article that's set
Speaker 1: it all off. WRL News gunfire and home break ins.
Speaker 1: How Durham violence is spilling into Wake County neighborhoods and
Speaker 1: it's it is, it's predicated often in that incident at
Speaker 1: Crabtree where you had the cowboys style gunfight, there's no
Speaker 1: other way to describe it. In the parking lot over there,
Speaker 1: get over what was it twenty five cars that got shot.
Speaker 1: No one was hurt, because while they do like the
Speaker 1: cowboy gunfight, they're really bad at it. Which happens I
Speaker 1: think when you hold gun sideways. You ever try to
Speaker 1: do that at the range, shoot sideways and above your head.
Speaker 1: And my buddies would do it whenever we go the range,
Speaker 1: gangster eyes and ears kids. Make sure the range is clear.
Speaker 1: I want you to be safe. But take your take
Speaker 1: whatever handgun you have, turn it, you know, ninety degrees
Speaker 1: if it has to your thumb, the bottom of your thumb.
Speaker 1: If you're envisioning, this has to be physically above the
Speaker 1: top of your hair. And you don't want to cheat. Now,
Speaker 1: try to hit a target. Have fun with that. And
Speaker 1: I understand that it's a little bit of exaggerating, but
Speaker 1: not really. When you guys are able to hit twenty
Speaker 1: five cars with multiple people and have this thing go
Speaker 1: on for several minutes that you don't hit anybody, I'd
Speaker 1: say practice, but I don't want you to. But that's
Speaker 1: just one. So what the numbers started to show is
Speaker 1: they looked at in Wake County. They looked at all
Speaker 1: the different communities. So you have Morrisville, you have Carrie,
Speaker 1: you have Raleigh, you have Wake Forest, you have Apet,
Speaker 1: you have all of them, Okay, And what they wanted
Speaker 1: to determine is because in that case and in many
Speaker 1: other cases, the people who end up getting arrested or
Speaker 1: at least are wanted, they don't live in those communities.
Speaker 1: They live in Durham. And so that was what this
Speaker 1: article was predicated on, because when you start crunching the numbers,
Speaker 1: it gets pretty crazy pretty quick. Let's see here, let
Speaker 1: me just sitch you with some of the numbers. Okay.
Speaker 1: From twenty nineteen through twenty twenty four, arrest data from
Speaker 1: the Sheriff's office as well as the various local police
Speaker 1: departments Morrisville, Holly Springs, carry Apex, Raleigh saw an increase
Speaker 1: of thirty five percent in charges against people from Durham.
Speaker 1: And I love how people go, well, how do you
Speaker 1: know they're from Durham because they give their address, you jackass,
Speaker 1: Like when they book you, they're getting your address. They
Speaker 1: probably have it. In the case of some of these
Speaker 1: folks because they've been arrested multiple times. That is a
Speaker 1: fifteen percent increase for all charges in the entire county
Speaker 1: over the same time, which is also funny because it's
Speaker 1: aril admitting that crimes were up in Wake County. But
Speaker 1: I digress, all right, But this is where it gets
Speaker 1: and look proximity should matter, but also the communities matter.
Speaker 1: In the city of Morrisville. In the city of Morrisville,
Speaker 1: where I briefly live for about five minutes, they put
Speaker 1: me in corporate housing in Morrisville. First moved out here
Speaker 1: off of Chapel Hill Road. I like Morrisville. I like,
Speaker 1: we make fun of Carry, but it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: the fun when you're being made fun of for being
Speaker 1: too safe, You're okay. But the problem is becoming not
Speaker 1: too safe. And Carry's got their own criminals. I've seen
Speaker 1: people jaywalk. I know what's up, but no more serious
Speaker 1: charges are coming in. So in the city of Morrisville,
Speaker 1: the percentage of people charge from Durham in the city
Speaker 1: of Morrisville for crimes coming in the city of Morrisville
Speaker 1: up sixty five percent. In the city of Carry, it's
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty percent. Which is why, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, you remember what I call Kerry the
Speaker 1: murder capital of North Carolina. The reason was is one
Speaker 1: year they had a two hundred percent increase in murders.
Speaker 1: They had two murders. They had no murders for like
Speaker 1: three years before it or something, And so that was
Speaker 1: the joke. This is no joke. This is an amalgamation
Speaker 1: of all sorts of charges, and many of them are
Speaker 1: pretty heavy charges. Right where you're talking about burglary with
Speaker 1: an occupant there, carjacking, you know, home invasion, carjacking stuff,
Speaker 1: just straight up robberies and burglaries that while a person
Speaker 1: may not have been injured or potentially injured, their lives
Speaker 1: have turned up side down. You ever had your home burglarized?
Speaker 12: I have.
Speaker 1: I wasn't there, which is probably good for them or me,
Speaker 1: depending on how it would have went down. It sucks
Speaker 1: you feel, you know. And they didn't even get much
Speaker 1: from me. They got like, they got a PlayStation four,
Speaker 1: some stereo stuff. They got a DVD player which I
Speaker 1: hope they enjoy that now, and a few other things.
Speaker 1: But still violet the my front door. So if you're
Speaker 1: sitting in the city of Carrie, you notice this stuff.
Speaker 1: So they write this report and that that should have
Speaker 1: you know. That is what it is. And it begs
Speaker 1: the question, Now, the City of Durham officials can't police
Speaker 1: the city of Carry, but you can't tell me when
Speaker 1: you have a soft on crime policy in your city.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what it's like it's like body odor. Right,
Speaker 1: you show up at your desk today and you showered,
Speaker 1: put on some clean clothes, you're ready to work. And
Speaker 1: yet the person who sits next to you in the
Speaker 1: next queue, they showered somewhere around the Ciska Centennial. They
Speaker 1: don't have a washing machine. They look disheveled.
Speaker 2: At me.
Speaker 1: I didn't say they were wearing a cane's hat, okay?
Speaker 1: Or bills? How are you wearing your bills?
Speaker 2: Staring at me like you just.
Speaker 1: I'm staring at you because I want to make sure
Speaker 1: that we hit ray on time. Why are you reading
Speaker 1: into it? That's all because as you know, I always
Speaker 1: hit my posts and everything on time.
Speaker 2: So okay, service elements.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So anyway, right, so now that's impacting your ability
Speaker 1: to do your thing. So it's a legitimate. So when
Speaker 1: you ignore it, and you're the mayor of Durham, the
Speaker 1: mayor of Durham, and you decide that your response to
Speaker 1: the existence of this article is not one to go, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what we should I should meet with the
Speaker 1: mayor of Kerrie and the Mayor of Morrisville and let's
Speaker 1: talk about ways we can be proactive with this. But
Speaker 1: unfortunately The way you most have to have to be
Speaker 1: proactive here is you have to police within your you
Speaker 1: have to shower. Okay, I can't even And all the
Speaker 1: people live in Durham deal with this on the daily.
Speaker 1: It's easy for them to be cynical. They're like, well,
Speaker 1: I saw somebody's like at least the going elsewhere to
Speaker 1: rob for five minutes. That's not a guy who wants
Speaker 1: you to get robbed. That's the guy is dealing with
Speaker 1: this on his own. Leonardo Williams is the mayor's name.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm aware and disappointed at the Rio investigative
Speaker 1: story why Durham crime is creep blah blah blah, and
Speaker 1: the quote despicable angle taken at our city? What was
Speaker 1: the angle? The angle is the numbers. This is the
Speaker 1: ultimate facts, don't care about your feelings thing. So somebody
Speaker 1: points out that when they arrest people, one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty percent more arrests are coming from people who self
Speaker 1: identify as living in Durham, who are clearly coming over
Speaker 1: to rob Morrisville and carry. I guess maybe they're running
Speaker 1: out of rich homes there, right, you want you're gonna
Speaker 1: go where the money is. Yeah, people rob in really
Speaker 1: poor communities. But if you're out there to you want
Speaker 1: to go carjack somebody with a beamer, you're probably gonna
Speaker 1: have a better There gonna be more beamers rolling by
Speaker 1: on high house. Okay, this is the reality of it.
Speaker 1: Probably more likely to meet somebody, or less likely to
Speaker 1: meet somebody who might be armed too, to be quite honest.
Speaker 1: So this guy's screaming racism, and and it dawned upon me, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna call youdrac or dirac anymore. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call you deracis because I'm getting a venezuela vibe off you.
Speaker 12: Like you.
Speaker 1: It's like you have the trend de ragua, and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: as long as they're not murdering people here, we're good
Speaker 1: to go. And that's why I say this guy's going
Speaker 1: to get somebody killed. The policies clearly have gotten people killed.
Speaker 1: We've done stories where somebody was put out on a
Speaker 1: bond or given cat no cash bond and then they
Speaker 1: go out and commit a murder. I could you want
Speaker 1: me to find examples? I got a bunch. Hell, I'll
Speaker 1: just give you the example. Thankfully, nobody got murdered that
Speaker 1: lunatic in the sandwich shop at UNC the two days
Speaker 1: before had pulled the same crap, arguably worse at a
Speaker 1: gas station down to the bottom of the hill from
Speaker 1: Chapel Hill, and you guys didn't do anything. So policies
Speaker 1: like what this guy probably ran on are now impacting others.
Speaker 1: So for the residents of Kerry, since the Mayor of
Speaker 1: Durham doesn't give a crap, I hopefully your city leaders do.
Speaker 1: But they can't stop unless you guys want to build
Speaker 1: a big fence, make it one big ho a. You know,
Speaker 1: actually that brings us up. Let me ask the residents
Speaker 1: of Carrie. Have you tried explaining to the home invader
Speaker 1: the HOA rules because that's clearly got to be against them.
Speaker 1: And if that doesn't work, what is that document four
Speaker 1: hundred pages? Beat them with it? Or try being less rich?
Speaker 7: Have you?
Speaker 1: Have you guys tried being less rich? Not to attract
Speaker 1: the ne'er do wells when it comes to your stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just spent in options hereaus. I want
Speaker 1: everyone to be safe, and I want people who make
Speaker 1: other people unsafe to not be able to make people unsafe.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know what you handle here,
Speaker 1: can you? We can't do sanctions, we can't oil and
Speaker 1: bargo Durham. But the thing is is like the people
Speaker 1: in Durham who cringe and recoil every time they hear
Speaker 1: shots were fired over it, and then pick wherever it
Speaker 1: was and a kid was wounded or god forget a
Speaker 1: kid was killed, like the kid who thought he was
Speaker 1: going to go get snow cones. But I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you support leadership there, and and
Speaker 1: even if you don't support it, maybe the maybe the
Speaker 1: answer is get the hell out of there. And I
Speaker 1: hate to say that because there have been a lot
Speaker 1: of really good investments in what they're trying to do
Speaker 1: there in Durham. But the the lynchpin here is going
Speaker 1: to be the government there, and now it's spilling out
Speaker 1: to other cities. And you scream racism when people point
Speaker 1: that out. You're you're you're much more unqualified and dumber
Speaker 1: than I thought you were, because this is going to
Speaker 1: come back and bite you eventually. But he doesn't care,
Speaker 1: all right, race stage, it cares cares about all of you.
Speaker 1: I care, I care, Yeah, what are they you getting
Speaker 1: a job in the Trump administration. Have you found out yet? No,
Speaker 1: not that I'm aware of. Nobody's I don't know. Not
Speaker 1: really they have like a meteorologist the United States? Is
Speaker 1: that even?
Speaker 12: Well?
Speaker 9: I mean the National Weather Service is the government.
Speaker 1: So can you imagine you're head of the National Weather
Speaker 1: Service and you get to come back into the weather
Speaker 1: channel down there and everyone's got to salute you. I
Speaker 1: don't know if.
Speaker 9: I want to be a general.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, that's gonna be like mafia man
Speaker 1: sitting there getting salutes from general.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well we don't have to worry about that happening.
Speaker 9: But yeah, you know, a man can dream.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: But Ross is going to be in charge of the
Speaker 1: department that goes and tests restaurants on food quality. So
Speaker 1: you can just walk away any restaurant in America and
Speaker 1: they have to give him whatever he wants.
Speaker 4: So that's great.
Speaker 9: I'd like to be a part of that base tested
Speaker 9: restaurant in the Yeah, that'd be good stuff, good stuff,
Speaker 9: good stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of good stuff.
Speaker 9: Cold, yeah, bit of chili this morning. Some frost advisories
Speaker 9: doesn't mean you're at freezing in at frost even when
Speaker 9: you're above freezing. So one of the colder mornings. We've
Speaker 9: had low mid fifties today and sunny tonight, will drop
Speaker 9: to the low forties and some rain coming in west
Speaker 9: to east probably early morning Triad, then across the triangle
Speaker 9: mid to late morning, mid fifties tomorrow, so kind of
Speaker 9: a raw day into tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: We'll have some rain.
Speaker 9: It'll taper off Friday morning, the suddenly back Friday afternoon
Speaker 9: in the low sixties. Beautiful weekend coming up mid upper
Speaker 9: fifty mid upper sixties with sunny sky. Longer range, Casey,
Speaker 9: not only may we have a hurricane in the Gulf
Speaker 9: next week, we might have a dumple cold air in
Speaker 9: late next week. That could be some of the coldest
Speaker 9: air we've had since maybe last winter. So we'll see.
Speaker 1: Okay. I'm going to be in charge of the interior
Speaker 1: and making the Pisga National Forest my private game preserve.
Speaker 1: So oh okay, you want to go hunt?
Speaker 2: Talk to me?
Speaker 1: Yeap? All right, thank you?
Speaker 2: Sure to duck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be back hanging out. Go ahead, okay.
Speaker 13: Now, I was just listening to the theme waiting for
Speaker 13: my introduction. Hey, good morning, Casey. Economists have gotten really
Speaker 13: good at forecasting government inflation readings. They were right on
Speaker 13: the money. When it comes to the Consumer Price Index.
Speaker 13: The CPI was up to tens percent last month, just
Speaker 13: as predicted, and stock market futures are higher now. They
Speaker 13: were lower until that report came out. We're higher across
Speaker 13: the board, just modestly. The ADOW futures are up thirty
Speaker 13: eight points. You have a lot of company if you're
Speaker 13: feeling stressed at work. A FLEX annual workforces report found
Speaker 13: there are high levels of workplace stress and burnout. Employers
Speaker 13: and employees alike are concerned about rising health care costs,
Speaker 13: financial vulnerability in their families' futures. Aflex says burnout effects
Speaker 13: nearly three to five American workers. Millennials and Hispanic workers
Speaker 13: are the most prone to burnout. A source of free
Speaker 13: streaming video will be going away soon, sources told Bloomberg.
Speaker 13: Amazon dot Com is planning to shut down on its
Speaker 13: free v service, which is supported by advertising. Spirit Airlines
Speaker 13: close to bankruptcy. A filing by the discount carrier says
Speaker 13: the company is in advanced talks with creditors on a
Speaker 13: restructuring that would be carried out under a Chapter eleven process.
Speaker 13: Elon Musk is the world's richest man. He may be
Speaker 13: the busiest man in the world, and he's about to
Speaker 13: get even busier. Must run six companies, and he'll have
Speaker 13: a role in the Trump administration, working with entrepreneur vivek
Speaker 13: Ramaswami on a project to make the government more efficient.
Speaker 13: Grub Hubs changing hands, Wonder Group buying the restaurant delivery
Speaker 13: service from parent company Just Eat Takeaway. Wonder Group is
Speaker 13: paying about six hundred and fifty million dollars. Grub Hub
Speaker 13: was once worth more than seven billion dollars in the
Speaker 13: early days of the pandemic. And Casey, today is World
Speaker 13: Kindness Day. Krispy Kreme is marking the occasion with a
Speaker 13: free donut offer.
Speaker 2: Casey, well, I.
Speaker 1: Screwed up for the last three hours then because I've
Speaker 1: not been kind this morning. But that's all. I'll try harder,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
Speaker 13: Jeff Right, a co worker, pointed out today is also
Speaker 13: Felix Younger Day.
Speaker 1: If you're interested, it's feeling you know, that's that's probably
Speaker 1: more likely for me to celebrate. All right, okay, well,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, yeah. In fact, what else is today?
Speaker 1: It's National Hug and Musician Day, and it's Sadie Hawkins Day. So, ladies,
Speaker 1: unless you're part of the four B movement, get yourself
