Speaker 1: Look, it's just a very sad day around the around
Speaker 1: the show this morning. I'm not gonna lie. I was
Speaker 1: all excited for the big Sadie Hawkins dance the Shop right,
Speaker 1: look forward to that, very exciting. Wanted to go with
Speaker 1: my bow or bay or whatever we call it nowadays.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately Ross we got broken up with yesterday and
Speaker 1: they sent an email that they couldn't even do it
Speaker 1: face to face. So so I I got not one,
Speaker 1: but normally I would just ignore this because I'm like, yeah, you'll,
Speaker 1: you'll come around, But uh, not one, but two people
Speaker 1: are very upset because we have any criticism over the
Speaker 1: signal thing and have expressed said criticism. So I let
Speaker 1: me know what else is out there. Let me know
Speaker 1: how that works for you guys, because that seems like
Speaker 1: a little bit of an overreaction for pointing out that maybe,
Speaker 1: just maybe we should expect higher standards. I don't believe
Speaker 1: Ross or I and I maybe Ross tweeted something. I
Speaker 1: didn't see it. I don't believe ross Or I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they all have to resign and then they should all
Speaker 1: go to guantanamo. I don't believe that was a discussion
Speaker 1: that we had yesterday. I think the discussion we had
Speaker 1: yesterday is this is dumb. Why do you keep feeding
Speaker 1: the fire on this and right after the show, literally
Speaker 1: right after the show, because these leftist journalists do everything
Speaker 1: to screw me over. Right after the show, we had
Speaker 1: Goldberg release quote unquote the rest of the transcript. I
Speaker 1: think there's one little party didn't but and I immediately
Speaker 1: commented on it and pointed out, yeah, this isn't war plans,
Speaker 1: but it's also not nothing, and it's just a really
Speaker 1: bad look. And as I instructed on the show yesterday,
Speaker 1: maybe the best thing to do, because of course the
Speaker 1: Democrats and the media one and the same are going
Speaker 1: to feast upon it, is to stop tweeting out seven
Speaker 1: eight paragraph rebuttals and just go do what you were doing, right,
Speaker 1: Go do what you're doing. I don't excuse me, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I have confidence in Mike Waltz. Just
Speaker 1: just dear to the due to the sheer stupidity and
Speaker 1: boneheadedness of this. But a combination of Mike will Altu,
Speaker 1: the uh you know, obviously the VP Pete Hegge Seth
Speaker 1: is twenty times better than their predecessors. So like you
Speaker 1: can you can be upset like if your kid, if
Speaker 1: your kid did something right, if your kid did something
Speaker 1: you respond. It doesn't mean you're like, I don't love
Speaker 1: my kid anymore. I don't know, or maybe it does.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But for most people, they're like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't love my kid, And no, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: my kid did something really stupid. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: figure out how they're not going to do it again,
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll get a teachable moment out of this,
Speaker 1: and then you move on, right, you know, later that
Speaker 1: day when your kids, Oh, I wonder if dad's still
Speaker 1: mad at me. Hey, you give them a hug. You're like, hey, buddy,
Speaker 1: it's okay. That's it. It's very simple, right, because because
Speaker 1: the the opponents of this administration clearly overplayed what it
Speaker 1: is they had right, there's I read this thing and
Speaker 1: I saw and I pointed out yesterday, I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is it's very non specific. Now it's not so nonspecific.
Speaker 1: You didn't know you were dealing with the Hoothy's. I
Speaker 1: saw people saying that. I'm like, the literally the group
Speaker 1: chat is called like hoothy. You know, it's got HOOTI
Speaker 1: in the name. So like, you know what's up. But
Speaker 1: it's not like they only have one target, right, They're
Speaker 1: spread all over South Yemen there, but primarily concentrated for
Speaker 1: the purpose of jacking with ships. So what they're talking
Speaker 1: about is is not coordinates, it's not it's it's literally
Speaker 1: things like all right, the planes took off. I mean
Speaker 1: I could read it to you, but I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: read it. All right, planes are out, this is out,
Speaker 1: and then it's it's updates too. It's like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: blew that thing to smithereens target's there, doesn't say who
Speaker 1: the target is, but now you know, now in retrospect,
Speaker 1: we know who the target was. They blew up that
Speaker 1: apartment building, which, by the way, I saw associated press
Speaker 1: trying to pretend was like a daycare as well. It was.
Speaker 1: It was an apartment building, but it was one that
Speaker 1: was literally controlled by the Hootis and it housed it
Speaker 1: literally housed their fighters and also uh in in some
Speaker 1: cases in the case that we used it there, uh
Speaker 1: there you know their action there. There a little side
Speaker 1: piece there. His dude's married, but he went to his girlfriend's.
Speaker 1: Well not anymore because now he's missed. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: like you already know that they're going to do this,
Speaker 1: So why on God's green Earth when there is a
Speaker 1: possibility of some justifiable criticism, are you just like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to anybody who may have problems.
Speaker 1: But how do you think that's going to work for you?
Speaker 1: How do you think that attitude is one that comports
Speaker 1: with expecting, demanding, appreciating when it's happening Again, this, this
Speaker 1: group is one hundred times better than the last group,
Speaker 1: but having a certain set of standards that you don't
Speaker 1: just go, well, you know, since I voted for him,
Speaker 1: they don't have to live up to it. No, that's
Speaker 1: not how it works. And all they had to do
Speaker 1: was go, well, that was dumb, Mike, you're an idiot,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, And then you explain how it happened
Speaker 1: and why it won't happen again. You'd have been done
Speaker 1: with it. I mean, the media wouldn't have been done
Speaker 1: with this, but I'd have been done with it in
Speaker 1: the day. I'd been like, all right, because that's all
Speaker 1: you really want, that's all you really you just you
Speaker 1: want them to recognize. Hey, sometimes you just you just
Speaker 1: got to bite the bullet. Sometimes you're wrong. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: mess up. I don't like, I'm not attaching any sort
Speaker 1: of animis to it. I think somebody's just dumb. And
Speaker 1: then people are running around and they're like, well, you
Speaker 1: know what it was is it was a super secret
Speaker 1: hack from a you know, a Biden holdover. All right,
Speaker 1: well then show me that because it probably wasn't because
Speaker 1: you got to you just Oukham's razor this stuff. What
Speaker 1: is the most likely scenario as to how this journalists
Speaker 1: got on? There is the most likely scenario, some super
Speaker 1: secret holdover that was sabotaging government phones, which I saw
Speaker 1: people running around with yesterday, or once you do the
Speaker 1: Ockham's razor, is it somebody's got that that person in
Speaker 1: their contacts for whatever reason, and they are idiots when
Speaker 1: it comes to you know, maybe they're not tech savvy whatever.
Speaker 1: But if that's the case, holy hell, you better let
Speaker 1: your staff handle these things. What do you think is
Speaker 1: the most likely? So anyway, always appreciate your email. Don't
Speaker 1: always understand it. But could I be so bold as
Speaker 1: to suggest you're probably listening right now, just saying AnyWho?
Speaker 1: All right, coming up on the show. Good morning, It
Speaker 1: is six fifteen. There's another issue too that I don't understand.
Speaker 1: And I saw this going viral yesterday. So the kid
Speaker 1: of one of the producers, one of the big producers
Speaker 1: for the Snow White movie, he was on Instagram and
Speaker 1: somebody was criticizing his dad. Who's you know, who is
Speaker 1: the producer? I say, kid, he's a grown adult obviously,
Speaker 1: but was criticizing his dad for being weird, for flying
Speaker 1: from LA to New York to have a face to
Speaker 1: face with Rachel Zegler after you know, everything blew up,
Speaker 1: which I didn't know happened. Apparently it happened whatever. And
Speaker 1: then and then like Rachel Zegler apologists you know again,
Speaker 1: people who can't stop for a moment and just go, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe this isn't a good idea. They
Speaker 1: were all mad at this guy. And then his son
Speaker 1: wrote some thing like hey, she's a narcissist, she's entitled,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, yeah, you rock man. And then and
Speaker 1: then they're like, seemingly on the producer's side. Do you
Speaker 1: think Rachel Zegler was the only problem with that movie?
Speaker 1: Do you get what I'm driving at? So, like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I got a couple of things that annoy
Speaker 1: me this morning, and my voice sounds a little rough too.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll deal with that. But yeah, just
Speaker 1: just a couple of little things, and we got some
Speaker 1: fun stuff. We've got some audio that'll probably make you up,
Speaker 1: you know, punch your dash, but that's what we do here.
Speaker 1: So uh, let's go ahead and take a break. We'll
Speaker 1: come back. It is the CaCO Day Radio Progress. I
Speaker 1: guess some of you don't know the because you don't
Speaker 1: live on Twitter or I have way too much free time.
Speaker 1: And I can actually respect that. So so yesterday, going
Speaker 1: back to this yesterday, Mark Klatt is the guy's name.
Speaker 1: He is so one of the big producers for Snow White.
Speaker 1: He's not just a money guy. He's like muckety mucky
Speaker 1: exec Okay, so he is guiding the content. He is,
Speaker 1: he's not He's not just somebody who threw his money
Speaker 1: in because like when you see when you see those producers,
Speaker 1: executive producers all of that, like half of them are
Speaker 1: there for the credit and they really have no input
Speaker 1: on what ends up in the movie. They're just a
Speaker 1: money guy. Okay. That's how you get a producer tag.
Speaker 1: And a lot of times you'll see actors that are there,
Speaker 1: and those are generally how deals are structured if they
Speaker 1: have enough pull or if it's a project they themselves
Speaker 1: want to put money in, and it's it's just a way.
Speaker 1: It's just how the points get distributed. And the points
Speaker 1: are the revenue. Okay, So if you're a big actor,
Speaker 1: if you're like Tom Cruise and you go do a movie,
Speaker 1: chances are you got a piece of that, even if
Speaker 1: you didn't pony up money just for being Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1: And I know, beef with that that being said, when
Speaker 1: you are one of the working producers, one of the
Speaker 1: day to day producers, one of the people who is
Speaker 1: not just there for the money because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you're all there for the money, but
Speaker 1: also is you know, essentially has a boss, right So
Speaker 1: Mark Platt boss is Disney, and he's one of these
Speaker 1: people we were talking about maybe Head's roll And I
Speaker 1: saw this yesterday. I saw his kid who is again
Speaker 1: not a kid, but he was on Instagram and somebody
Speaker 1: and the dude is a grown man, right he is.
Speaker 1: He was on a podcast where they have a picture
Speaker 1: for the for the purpose of this article. Dude looks
Speaker 1: like he's in his late twenties, whatever, full beard whatever. Right,
Speaker 1: So just just to be clear, this isn't some seventeen
Speaker 1: year old who saw his dad getting roasted and it
Speaker 1: happened because there was a story that came out yesterday,
Speaker 1: I guess two days ago that Mark Platt as like
Speaker 1: boss Man producer after Zegler wouldn't shut her face hole,
Speaker 1: literally flew from Los Angeles to the it says East Coast.
Speaker 1: I assume it's New York, but flew to New York
Speaker 1: that it is New York and had a face to
Speaker 1: face with her going what are you doing?
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: You realize this doesn't look good? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: And like people got mad over that. Oh that's so creepy,
Speaker 1: Like here's your dad flew to New York City to
Speaker 1: reprimand a young actress. Any word on this because that's creepy.
Speaker 1: Af uncalled for people have the right to free spe eat.
Speaker 1: Shame on your father. All right, Well, that person's obviously
Speaker 1: a lunatic, right, they're in business together, and they hired
Speaker 1: her to do a thing. And I'm pretty sure they
Speaker 1: didn't hire her to sabotage her, you know, her movie,
Speaker 1: yet arguably she did and then so he writes this
Speaker 1: thing back, he goes, you really want to do this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad, the producer of this big piece of Disney
Speaker 1: IP with hundreds of millions on the line, had to
Speaker 1: leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand
Speaker 1: his twenty year old employee for dragging her personal politics
Speaker 1: in the middle of promoting the movie that she signed
Speaker 1: a deal for and then goes on for there and
Speaker 1: I saw people. I saw people sharing this, like a
Speaker 1: bunch of conservative sites sharing this. They're like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they get it. No they don't. Do you think Rachel
Speaker 1: Zegler is the only problem with that movie? What ross?
Speaker 1: I know we talked about Rachel Zegler, but I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure that we talked about literally everything else with the
Speaker 1: movie on Monday.
Speaker 3: You know, she was a big part of it, but
Speaker 3: she didn't right and come up with the concept of it.
Speaker 3: And she wasn't the one that wrote the new song
Speaker 3: and decided to get rid of the Prince, and on
Speaker 3: and on and on, Like everybody involved with his movies
Speaker 3: is responsible for the dumpster fire that became this movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so like people celebrating this, like Mark Platt's
Speaker 1: a moonbat dude, if if this is his work, if
Speaker 1: he thinks the only thing was that, and and this
Speaker 1: is what they're going this is this is the desperation, right,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta slough this off. So look, if
Speaker 1: your dad wants to be a moonbat, fine, but don't
Speaker 1: act like the only thing wrong with that was this.
Speaker 1: And and for people that are like, yeah, you get him.
Speaker 1: Finally somebody in Hollywood gets it. He doesn't get it.
Speaker 1: He hates you. A NERD correspondent Stephen Kental joined us,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if he thinks it's all Rachel Zegler's fault.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think he doesn't. But you know, that's why
Speaker 1: we have these conversations, okay, with the with the whole
Speaker 1: producer son and all of that. And we're gonna check
Speaker 1: in on those those super duper protests up in DC
Speaker 1: since that's where he lives, so he can give us
Speaker 1: a spy report on that. So we got a few
Speaker 1: things to get into. That'll be at eight o eight
Speaker 1: oh six. Okay, all right, very good, But before we
Speaker 1: get to that, get some popcorn grab that. And uh,
Speaker 1: if you missed the hearing yesterday with the CEO of
Speaker 1: NPR who is an absolute died in the wool moon
Speaker 1: bet And that's not that's not a new thing. Everyone
Speaker 1: knew she's the one. Do you remember, uh, you know what,
Speaker 1: I just realized I've probably probably should start here. She's
Speaker 1: the one you ever see that clip? And you know
Speaker 1: she's blonde woman, she's a nice looking woman, right, And
Speaker 1: so she's given like Ted Talker whatever, and she's like,
Speaker 1: you know the problem is that we use there's too
Speaker 1: many facts in journalism, right, remember that insane that just
Speaker 1: ends up in all the montages. That's the chick we're
Speaker 1: talking about. She's like, why do they have all these facts?
Speaker 1: You just sometimes you just got to go with your feels,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, not at all how people assume
Speaker 1: news is supposed to work, but is the reality of
Speaker 1: what we see so many days? But to say it
Speaker 1: out loud was insane. So she also tweets like that, right,
Speaker 1: So she's you know, she's one of these people. She's like,
Speaker 1: I just read this book on reparations. They literally you'll
Speaker 1: hear it in the audio. They're talking, they're asking about
Speaker 1: a book on reparations. And then she gets on like
Speaker 1: Twitter or Instagram or whatever it was and was just
Speaker 1: like this is the way, right, and and that's the problem,
Speaker 1: especially when you guys are suckling at the government teat
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Now, some people confuse MPR and
Speaker 1: PBS as to the levels of funding they get. And
Speaker 1: it's just because of how it shows up on paper, right,
Speaker 1: because they'll do they'll go, well, my local station, my
Speaker 1: local public radio station, they fundraise for theirs, right, right,
Speaker 1: But it's a larger apparatus called the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,
Speaker 1: which you all know, right, how many of you heard
Speaker 1: of this larger entity the quote unquote it's had two
Speaker 1: different names. But because you watched PBS as a kid,
Speaker 1: and in the credits they would have they would be
Speaker 1: like and brought to you by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Right,
Speaker 1: you remember that? Even if you don't remember that, now
Speaker 1: you do because I just said it. You're like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: because they would have that literally at the end of
Speaker 1: mister Rogers, at the end of Sesme Street, all of that.
Speaker 1: And it was just it was just one of those
Speaker 1: things that was burning to your brain. So don't let
Speaker 1: them pay play fast and loose, right, because a lot
Speaker 1: of times you're local public broadcasting station is not necessarily
Speaker 1: owned by the National one. Okay. In fact, in Minnesota
Speaker 1: it was a really weird setup because they had like
Speaker 1: they had the largest independent public broadcast, but it's all
Speaker 1: tied in, all tied in. So she's sitting there in
Speaker 1: front of Congress, and of course Jim Jordan's going to
Speaker 1: get a hold of her. But let's just revisit how
Speaker 1: her day was going, and we'll start with Congressman Gill
Speaker 1: from Florida. I think it's from Florida, because it was
Speaker 1: not going well for her, and like her answers after
Speaker 1: tweeting insane things which you'll hear them quote, were like,
Speaker 1: I don't remember tweeting that. And I kind of believe
Speaker 1: her because I think she's just that Looney Tunes. But
Speaker 1: also she clearly holds these views, which in my mind
Speaker 1: are a bit problematic. Here we go.
Speaker 4: Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?
Speaker 5: These are I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,
Speaker 5: I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the
Speaker 5: last half decade.
Speaker 6: It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?
Speaker 5: I don't recall the exact context, Sir, so I wouldn't
Speaker 5: be able to say.
Speaker 4: Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder
Speaker 4: and white democracy?
Speaker 1: And I want to I want to pause here before
Speaker 1: she lies. Excuse me answers. Here's the deal. If you
Speaker 1: went back to any moment in the history of this
Speaker 1: radio show, and I can't speak for Ross, I can
Speaker 1: speak for me, maybe Ross degrees. If you go back
Speaker 1: and you you dug a quote out and then I
Speaker 1: and even if I didn't remember the context, and then
Speaker 1: you provided the context, You're like, hey, you know, back
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve you said this. I'm I feel like
Speaker 1: I would remember why I said that. I know that
Speaker 1: sounds weird, but I have like I have kind of
Speaker 1: a weird photographic memory. I can't remember your name if
Speaker 1: I meet you for the rest of the day. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like the worst thing. But I can remember
Speaker 1: weird stuff, Like I can remember whole scenarios and situations
Speaker 1: for what are pretty innocuous conversations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it happens all the time, like all, Yeah,
Speaker 3: to bring up a random years ago Yeah, if we
Speaker 3: were to bring up a random audio cut, we can
Speaker 3: pretty like he wouldn't take long, like a matter of
Speaker 3: seconds to remember what the take was on that or
Speaker 3: with the purpose for it, like why did we have that?
Speaker 1: Because we do it. We literally do it live on
Speaker 1: the show yesterday. Yeah, yesterday when the guy with the
Speaker 1: rattlesnake right, yes, right, we remembered the details. I just
Speaker 1: had to call it up to confirm.
Speaker 3: You'll be talking about something we did a while ago,
Speaker 3: and with no communication, I'll find that audio cup like,
Speaker 3: oh that's yep.
Speaker 1: You guys have no idea how many times I'm literally
Speaker 1: in the middle of the conversation, I'm staring at my
Speaker 1: button bar and then all of a sudden it appears
Speaker 1: the cut. It happened yesterday. What did you pull yesterday?
Speaker 1: So Russ just randomly pulled something yesterday happen I played
Speaker 1: it within a second of it being on there.
Speaker 3: It happened a bunch of times. Yesterday it was se
Speaker 3: Eddie Murphy thing, yeah, they kill the white people. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I'm talking.
Speaker 1: He We didn't talk before the show that I was
Speaker 1: going to do it, because I you know, my brain
Speaker 1: sometimes wonders and boom there it is.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 3: It happens all the time.
Speaker 1: So I don't believe that five years ago. You don't
Speaker 1: know why you tweeted were addicted to white supremacy.
Speaker 3: And it's not like this is a tweet talking about
Speaker 3: something that was like super niche at the time, like
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, like I went to Wegmans or some
Speaker 3: meme that was going around, and you're like, I don't
Speaker 3: even know because I've done that. I've looked at my
Speaker 3: timeline before in the past, and I'm like, what was
Speaker 3: that about? And then it takes me a second. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: it was that stupid meme, a weird reference that maybe
Speaker 3: people won't understand. But this is different. This is a
Speaker 3: book you read during like riots and stuff.
Speaker 1: So and then you quoted yeah, and then you and
Speaker 1: then you agreed with and he took it a step further.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you, and I don't believe you because
Speaker 1: I don't think she's dumb. I think she's wrong, but
Speaker 1: I don't think she's dumb. You're not going to have
Speaker 1: that position being an idiot, even know your actions. I mean,
Speaker 1: people may think you're an idiot when you say things
Speaker 1: like that, but like from just the actual you know,
Speaker 1: brain function, I don't believe you. But whatever, all right,
Speaker 1: so let's keep going down this road.
Speaker 7: Don't believe that, sir.
Speaker 6: You tweet it.
Speaker 4: It's reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently,
Speaker 4: The Case for Reparations.
Speaker 7: I don't think i've ever read that book, sir.
Speaker 6: You tweeted about it.
Speaker 4: You said you took a day off to fully read
Speaker 4: The Case for Reparations.
Speaker 6: You put that on Twitter in January.
Speaker 1: That's it. By the way, that's a hell of a tweet,
Speaker 1: right She didn't just go, oh, this book's really good.
Speaker 1: She wrote, I took the day off to read it.
Speaker 1: Like that's a much more possessive statement right there.
Speaker 7: I apologies. I don't recall that I did.
Speaker 5: Don'tkay, no doubt that your tweet there is correct, but
Speaker 5: I don't recall not his tweet.
Speaker 4: Do you believe that white people inherently feel super perior
Speaker 4: to other races?
Speaker 1: I do not.
Speaker 6: You don't.
Speaker 4: You tweeted something to that effect. You said I grew
Speaker 4: up feeling superior. How wide of me? Why did you
Speaker 4: tweet that?
Speaker 5: I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
Speaker 5: to be to grow up in an environment where I
Speaker 5: had lots of advantages.
Speaker 4: It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.
Speaker 5: I don't believe that anybody feels that way, Sir. I
Speaker 5: was just reflecting on my own.
Speaker 6: Do you think the white people should pay reparations?
Speaker 7: I have never said that, sir.
Speaker 6: Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, yes, America, yes,
Speaker 4: our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
Speaker 4: on this day.
Speaker 7: I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparation. Sir.
Speaker 1: This is and I know some of your like you
Speaker 1: think she's smart. I don't think she's an idiot. I
Speaker 1: think she absolutely knows. She tweeted that.
Speaker 3: I love his delivery. I love the way he's doing. Yes,
Speaker 3: you did, because he's just like saying it matter of factly,
Speaker 3: and then he's it's just.
Speaker 1: Great and it's not even nuanced. No, but I feel
Speaker 1: like he's maybe she meant this, she said it, she
Speaker 1: said it. Oh, all right, one more with Gil and
Speaker 1: then we got to go to the goat. In these situations,
Speaker 1: but let's continue this addressing how.
Speaker 6: Much reparations have you personally paid?
Speaker 2: Sir.
Speaker 5: I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.
Speaker 6: Okay, just for everybody else.
Speaker 1: I'm not asking anyone whoms to be.
Speaker 4: What you're suggesting. Do you believe that looting is morally wrong?
Speaker 5: I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to
Speaker 5: it as counterproductive.
Speaker 7: I think it should be prosecuted.
Speaker 6: Do you believe it's morally wrong though?
Speaker 7: Of course?
Speaker 4: Of course, then why did you refer to it as
Speaker 4: counter productive? Very different, very different way to describe it.
Speaker 5: It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as
Speaker 5: being tweeted.
Speaker 6: It's hard to be mad about protests.
Speaker 4: In reference to the BLM protests not prioritizing the private
Speaker 4: property of a system of oppression. You didn't condemn the looting.
Speaker 4: You said that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted
Speaker 4: a book called Indefensive Looting. Do you think that that's
Speaker 4: an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 5: I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe
Speaker 5: that was my tweet.
Speaker 6: I think you read that book.
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe she's like sort of like Lebron James
Speaker 3: when it comes to reading books. You know, that's a
Speaker 3: good thing that's going around. That's like a Lebron me
Speaker 3: where you used to see him in the locker room,
Speaker 3: and he would always be on like the first two
Speaker 3: pages of a book, and it would be something you
Speaker 3: know right right, like like the biography of whoever or
Speaker 3: the history of whatever, and he's he's it's like the
Speaker 3: you're trying to make the impression or the make it
Speaker 3: look like you're super deep and you're intelligent, but you're not.
Speaker 3: So maybe she doesn't actually read these books, but she
Speaker 3: just tweets out like little stuff about it to make
Speaker 3: it look like she's smart that you know.
Speaker 1: What I I That is absolutely a distinct possibility, But
Speaker 1: like her pretending to have never heard of the book
Speaker 1: is a wild way to go about it, Like just say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I read the book, and I read a lot of books,
Speaker 1: a lot of there's some people just read a lot
Speaker 1: of books. Whatever, Okay, But she's like, I didn't. I
Speaker 1: don't know what a book is. Never now look as
Speaker 1: fun as Gil is one of my favorites. This is like,
Speaker 1: this is like back in the day when you turn
Speaker 1: on MSNBC after like the presidential debate just so you
Speaker 1: can watch the lunacy unfold because it's so entertaining. As
Speaker 1: soon as if Jim Jordan's in a hearing, I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's anybody better in Congress to absolutely picking
Speaker 1: picking you apart. He is really entertaining to listen to.
Speaker 1: And and a guy who I have met in person
Speaker 1: and never stops moving the dudes like and he's he's
Speaker 1: he's actually a very short dude. Little he's a little guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not picking this, says this little guy. And so
Speaker 1: like the first time I saw him in person, it
Speaker 1: was like because you you know, you just see him
Speaker 1: on you just see him on TV, you know, just
Speaker 1: cracking skulls and.
Speaker 3: He's like like a honey badger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, he did. But he gave me that straight
Speaker 1: because he was a wrestling coach obviously. Uh and uh,
Speaker 1: he definitely has wrestling coach vibe. Mister Lynch was our
Speaker 1: wrestling coach. He reminded me exactly of him. But anyway,
Speaker 1: but man, get him a microphone and some receipts and
Speaker 1: it's a fun listen. So shell we yes, we shall.
Speaker 1: He is MPR biased Congressman.
Speaker 5: I have never seen any instance of never of pro
Speaker 5: political bias determining editorial decisions.
Speaker 8: Now, well, miss mister Berliner.
Speaker 9: In his story a couple last year wrote, I've in
Speaker 9: the DC area editorial positions at MPR, he said he
Speaker 9: found eighty seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans.
Speaker 8: Is that accurate?
Speaker 5: We do not track the numbers or the voter registration,
Speaker 5: but I find.
Speaker 9: That as award winning journalists who worked twenty five years
Speaker 9: at INPR, mister Berlin or was he lying when he
Speaker 9: wrote that.
Speaker 5: I am not presuming such. I just don't have We
Speaker 5: don't track that information about our journalist. Eighty seven to zero,
Speaker 5: and you're not biased? I think that is concerning. If
Speaker 5: those numbers are accurate, it's concerned.
Speaker 9: I mean, it wasn't forty four forty three, wasn't sixty
Speaker 9: twenty seven, it wasn't seventy seventeen, It wasn't even eighty
Speaker 9: to seven. It was eighty seven Democrats, zero Republicans. And
Speaker 9: you say MPR is not biased.
Speaker 1: And as much as I do love listening to this,
Speaker 1: I I like Trump's I'm assuming Trump and Congress are
Speaker 1: going to grease this funding, right, because this is easy.
Speaker 1: This is a no brainer. And let me tell you
Speaker 1: this is not even just out of uh it's not
Speaker 1: some sort of competitive animosity.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I know you want to public radios out there, but
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, you know, public radio is
Speaker 1: I've never walked into nicer studios than the two public
Speaker 1: radio studios I've been in, And so you get a
Speaker 1: little of that because you're like, how do you guys
Speaker 1: have all this stuff? This is incredible? Right, ros have
Speaker 1: you ever been in a public radio facility.
Speaker 3: I've got a high school buddy that I that has
Speaker 3: worked for NPR up in Albany for like twenty five
Speaker 3: thirty years. Right, I saw a photo of a studio. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's super nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got our studios. The power flickers and whether
Speaker 1: do it construction?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it gives it character, you know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's true. Absolutely, all right, one more of
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, shall we?
Speaker 9: October twenty twenty, New York Post had the Hunter Biden
Speaker 9: laptop story, and one of those editors, I guess one
Speaker 9: of those eighty seven Democrat editors, said this, we don't
Speaker 9: want to waste our time I'm on stories that are
Speaker 9: not really stories. We don't want to waste the listeners
Speaker 9: and readers times on stories that are just pure distractions.
Speaker 8: Without a pure distraction story.
Speaker 5: Our current editorial leadership believes that that was a mistake,
Speaker 5: as do I.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the whole country knows that was a mistake. Definitely
Speaker 9: impacted the election, or I think it certainly impacted the election.
Speaker 8: How about the COVID origin story.
Speaker 9: That's pretty big story too, right, mister Berliner said, we
Speaker 9: became fervent members of the team Natural Origin, even declaring
Speaker 9: that the LAB leak was debunked by scientists. Turns out,
Speaker 9: though the LAB leak is what most people think actually
Speaker 9: caused the COVID virus.
Speaker 5: Congressman, I do not believe we are politically biased. To know,
Speaker 5: we are a non partisan organization.
Speaker 8: Nonpartisan organization.
Speaker 1: I mean just they're funding and you know what, here's
Speaker 1: the deal. Moonbats will fund them. They'll be fine in
Speaker 1: this short term, and then, like everything else, you know,
Speaker 1: then people will get distracted, We'll get onto other things,
Speaker 1: and then it will be sink or swim, which is
Speaker 1: literally every day every morning that Ross and I get
Speaker 1: on the radio is sink or swim, you know, text,
Speaker 1: every day that you go to work is sink or
Speaker 1: swim for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the thing like taxpayer money shouldn't it be
Speaker 3: going to NPR or these NGOs which specifically benefit one
Speaker 3: political party in the country, right, Like there's something unethical
Speaker 3: and and moral about that.
Speaker 1: And you'd have a lot easier argument if your news
Speaker 1: wasn't such garbage bias, right, because then, because what do
Speaker 1: they do They never should they never really defend that.
Speaker 1: When this story comes out, what do they do? They
Speaker 1: get Big Bird and Elmo to show up to a
Speaker 1: press conference, like why do you want to kill Big Bird?
Speaker 3: Right, and then they do the whole you know, for
Speaker 3: the children thing, right, Yeah, And it's like, no, I'm
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the rest of your operation going what
Speaker 3: the hell?
Speaker 1: What what are we doing here? So you go out
Speaker 1: and by the way, PBS has good programming, and I
Speaker 1: will say this, I don't know, maybe I'll get interesting NPR.
Speaker 1: There are some shows on NPR that I have on
Speaker 1: the regular I don't really anymore. But when I worked afternoons,
Speaker 1: I've listened to their midday show. It wasn't really biased.
Speaker 1: And then the car Guys, right, many of you probably
Speaker 1: listening to the Car Guys back in the day. So like,
Speaker 1: you have programming, go out and make the most of it,
Speaker 1: compete with the rest of us, But don't give me
Speaker 1: this garbage. Oh no, we're not biased, clearly you are.
Speaker 1: We'll be back I don't know why this makes me
Speaker 1: feel good, but it makes me feel good. Did you
Speaker 1: guys see the video of JD. Vance plucking head shots
Speaker 1: at the range at Base Quantico or there's Camp Quantico,
Speaker 1: what do we call it? No, Base Quantico, it's Marine
Speaker 1: Corps Base Yesterday. So he's out there and he's got
Speaker 1: a couple of different weapons. The main one though, was
Speaker 1: he had a machine gun, the M two four.
Speaker 6: What is it?
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm not nerdy enough on the automatic weapons there,
Speaker 1: But he was blazing man and he's and he's shooting.
Speaker 1: I think he was shooting a two hundred yard you're
Speaker 1: shooting two hundred yards popping head shots. I'm a pretty
Speaker 1: good shot at two hundred yards only because in Wyoming
Speaker 1: that's where all your rifles are sighted in. But trying
Speaker 1: to get controlled shots too with something that's in a
Speaker 1: bur on a burst fire mode pretty impressive. And I
Speaker 1: like the idea. I don't know, I kind of like
Speaker 1: the idea that our vice president could sniper somebody if
Speaker 1: we needed right, if it ever got real, real bad,
Speaker 1: and China's like, ah, here we are, and our VP
Speaker 1: could set a position on top of the White House
Speaker 1: and and stack kills. I'm okay with that, so and
Speaker 1: you know why, and this is this is the important
Speaker 1: thing here, because you know how I feel about politicians
Speaker 1: out couseplane, right, it didn't. It never felt like he
Speaker 1: didn't belong there? Does that make sense? Right? How often?
Speaker 1: How many times on this show have we made fun
Speaker 1: of And usually it's not machine guns. It's like kitchen right,
Speaker 1: where so and so is in the kitchen and they
Speaker 1: have their apron on. They're like, no, I always make
Speaker 1: dinner and it's like, no, you don't, because you're the
Speaker 1: vice president. Shut up, I don't expect you to that.
Speaker 1: Being said, you still have the folds in your apron?
Speaker 1: How many? How many of those have we taken down?
Speaker 1: Because nobody thought to iron an apron? And it just
Speaker 1: feels so fake, right, Nancy Pelosi with her kitchen tour
Speaker 1: and her twelve dollars ice cream pints, right, just everything
Speaker 1: just feels fake. Or you're you want to be a
Speaker 1: you want to be a man of the people. Jd Vance,
Speaker 1: you know that guy? You just feels like a dude.
Speaker 1: You'd go to the range with, right, throw a little
Speaker 1: five here, a little five there? What you can gamble
Speaker 1: at the range? They some of them don't want you
Speaker 1: to do that, but like, that's a dude you'd have
Speaker 1: fun with at the range. That's great man. And it
Speaker 1: never felt fake. And it's not even because I like
Speaker 1: the guy. It just never felt How many Republicans have
Speaker 1: I criticized for being fake, It's like, just do your
Speaker 1: law making stuff. This is not you.
Speaker 3: That's why the whole like you know, jd. Vance is
Speaker 3: weird thing never worked, right, Yeah, especially coming from somebody
Speaker 3: like Tim Walls, right, And I believe to this day
Speaker 3: they did that. They tried to attack Vance that way
Speaker 3: to preemptively, you know, defend Waltz from the same attack. Well,
Speaker 3: they're gonna say he's weird, so let's say they let's
Speaker 3: say he's weird.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, you know it's true because they
Speaker 1: didn't just say jd. Vance was weird. What did they say?
Speaker 1: They say, Tim Walls is folksy? Right? Remember what was
Speaker 1: the Remember what was the other word they kept using
Speaker 1: for Walls too, and it was every newscast used it.
Speaker 1: So that was their way of doing exactly what you
Speaker 1: just said, one preemptively getting on it, but also trying
Speaker 1: to delineate what would appear to be weird with Walls
Speaker 1: by claiming he's just folksy.
Speaker 3: He's just either I.
Speaker 1: Can't remember the word they used, it was so and
Speaker 1: it was so not true because what happened you watched
Speaker 1: Do you remember the first time you jd. Vance do
Speaker 1: one of the interviews after he was named.
Speaker 3: I remember when he was with THEO Vonn and he
Speaker 3: looked so comfortable, So he looked like he belonged there,
Speaker 3: Like is.
Speaker 1: Going on a rant about doing cocaine, right, And JD.
Speaker 1: Vance obviously is not like, yeah, I love coke man, No,
Speaker 1: but like he he felt natural in that conversation where
Speaker 1: he's just like, it's probably not a good idea, and
Speaker 1: he remember he did, and then Theovonn did it twice
Speaker 1: as much to Trump too, which I thought was funny.
Speaker 1: And Trump's like, well, all right, that's the thing, right
Speaker 1: and and and like Trump felt less comfortable in there.
Speaker 2: Jd.
Speaker 1: Vance is he was just a bro man. He's just
Speaker 1: sitting there, so I'm watching him, right.
Speaker 3: But at the same point, you sort of, even though
Speaker 3: Trump did well in those interviews, you expect him to
Speaker 3: kind of be a little uncomfortable even though he really wasn't, because.
Speaker 1: Especially because he doesn't do alcohol, drugs, anything.
Speaker 3: Right, right, completely sober so. But also he's like his
Speaker 3: seventy something old billionaire you know what I mean, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jd Vance is just like, yeah, man, that's great story.
Speaker 1: Here's when of mine and then when on it. But no,
Speaker 1: sitting him out to the it never felt fake watching him,
Speaker 1: watching him play around out there. And the other thing too,
Speaker 1: was to watch how the Marines interacted with him. That's
Speaker 1: the other thing, right. They didn't feel like they weren't
Speaker 1: they they weren't reacting to him. In a couple of eclips,
Speaker 1: I saw like it's the vice president. We're on pins
Speaker 1: and needles, right, you know, because you know you don't
Speaker 1: want you don't want your CEO to think that you
Speaker 1: were being a jackass in front of you know, the
Speaker 1: vice president. You're gonna get dressed down like it was
Speaker 1: never that. They're just like it was like a bunch
Speaker 1: of marines at the range. It's pretty wild. You haven't
Speaker 1: seen the video there, it's floating. They're all over Twitter.
Speaker 1: You go check that out, man, And I will say this, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, all right, all right, I know this guy's Joe.
Speaker 1: He's all right, so guy, I know this guy is
Speaker 1: a is a marine or retired marine. He says, sure
Speaker 1: he can shoot, thank you Marine Corps. But how clean
Speaker 1: was that rifle after the range? That's the true test.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I suspect he probably didn't have
Speaker 1: to clean his own. What if that is his rifle?
Speaker 1: He's like, I just brought it.
Speaker 3: From home, JD Vance. Was it a listed guy?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Like he didn't go to officers school or anything? Or
Speaker 3: did he?
Speaker 1: No? I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 3: I think that's another reason they really respect him the
Speaker 3: way they do.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what his rank was when he
Speaker 1: came out. Hold on, Yeah, and it's not to say
Speaker 1: you can't be an officer, but there is that whole
Speaker 1: dynamic obviously clearly right, I work for a living. Don't
Speaker 1: call me sir. You know that kind of stuff. But like,
Speaker 1: hang on, I want to check because I try, unlike NPR,
Speaker 1: I do want to be accurate here, so and uh,
Speaker 1: I don't have that off the top of my head. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think you're correct though, So all right, here we go.
Speaker 1: By the way, did you it was trying to get
Speaker 1: me to go to Wikipedia? Did you see a Wikipedia?
Speaker 1: Did to Pete haeg sass Entry where they removed a
Speaker 1: bunch of his commendations and awards just and then they
Speaker 1: threaten people who are trying to edit him in They're like, no.
Speaker 3: I mean that's another non biased organization.
Speaker 1: So absolutely, yeah, he certainly enlisted, right, that's yep, you
Speaker 1: are correct.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So I mean that adds a different a
Speaker 3: whole different dynamic to it. He's all one of the
Speaker 3: guys that came up from the from the bottom, you know.
Speaker 1: Dude. Again, that was the whole joke when when they
Speaker 1: announced that he's going to be VP. It's like, and
Speaker 1: it's not technically protocol, but it's generally how it works. Like,
Speaker 1: that's got to be a hell of a thing to
Speaker 1: be an enlisted member of a branch of the military,
Speaker 1: and now the generals have to salute you. They don't
Speaker 1: have to, but it's just you know, good order. In
Speaker 1: how they treat the president, vice president. A lot of
Speaker 1: people think they have to salute they don't believe it
Speaker 1: or not. And then the president, the vice president, but
Speaker 1: specifically you know, the president. Really the saluting the troops
Speaker 1: is a relatively new thing too. Uh yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: in uh, in more modern history, but it's kind of
Speaker 1: how it works. So yeah, I saw a video.
Speaker 3: I saw a video recently where there was somebody that
Speaker 3: slipped them a challenge coin and it was it was
Speaker 3: pretty fun to watch.
Speaker 1: Dude, I want have you seen Trump's challenge coin? I
Speaker 1: must have that. I got to figure. I got a
Speaker 1: nice little collection. Have you got any challenge coins.
Speaker 3: I've got a bunch that I've received throughout the years
Speaker 3: working here that some people have sent me, Like some people, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I got air Force ones and ones from BRAG and yeah.
Speaker 1: Got some military ones.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: Dan, I got a Dan Forest.
Speaker 3: I gotta, I gotta, I gotta. I got a weak
Speaker 3: four police Department one, and I carry it everywhere because
Speaker 3: if they pull you over, you show the coin and
Speaker 3: then and then you tell them you're in the media.
Speaker 3: And if that doesn't work, you say, am I being detained?
Speaker 3: And that's pretty much it's easy.
Speaker 1: All the secrets away? Yeah? Are you giving all the
Speaker 1: secrets away?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 1: You gotta have the coin, so I see see what
Speaker 1: you're doing there, trying to think, trying to think. I
Speaker 1: have a challenge coin from an Air Force general too.
Speaker 1: I really like that one. That one's pretty cool. And
Speaker 1: then I also have a challenge coin from the Wake
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department that they made to make fun of
Speaker 1: the old sheriff. And it's got a rooster on it.
Speaker 1: And I can't really get into all the details as
Speaker 1: to what it means as it was explained to me,
Speaker 1: but they were not fans of the former Wake County sheriff,
Speaker 1: so they and then no, I'm sorry, that's the state
Speaker 1: that's the state patrol one that has the rooster on it,
Speaker 1: and then they I have one for the Sheriff's department too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the state patrol one that's along with the rooster. There's
Speaker 1: some troopers listening to this right now, laughing. I suspect
Speaker 1: that one. In fact, that thing literally is. I saw
Speaker 1: it yesterday because I was cleaning out a like a
Speaker 1: bag that was in one of my drawers. It had
Speaker 1: all the challenge coins in it. I was just kind
Speaker 1: of going through some of them and then putting them
Speaker 1: where I have the other ones. But yeah, I love
Speaker 1: those things. But Trump's is, you can imagine, is a
Speaker 1: it's a you could murder somebody with that.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it, but I imagine it's probably the greatest
Speaker 3: challenge coin. It's so great.
Speaker 1: It's I'm gonna find you a picture and send it
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty huge it's it's.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, what would you expect. That's gotta be
Speaker 1: the that's got to be the final Boss Challenge.
Speaker 3: It's got to be like at least four times bigger
Speaker 3: than your average challenge coin. I would expect how.
Speaker 1: Much it weighs. But it looks giant. All right, hang on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing this on the air. I don't care because
Speaker 1: we're all we're all family here. So yeah, if you
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, and by the way, if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, it's all over Twitter, So just check out
Speaker 1: the just it type Trump challenge coin and there's a
Speaker 1: couple of different ones. All right, Yeah, that's the that's
Speaker 1: is this is it right here? All right? Hang I'm
Speaker 1: gonna send this over to Ross and then Ross you
Speaker 1: can tweak this out because it's a public domain picture.
Speaker 1: So yeah, here we go. Check that bad boy out.
Speaker 1: I just send it to you. I gotta get my
Speaker 1: hands on one of those.
Speaker 3: That is amazing. And I was making a joke about
Speaker 3: it being bigger, but that thing is ginormous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's a huge hand So you can kind
Speaker 1: of thing is Oh wait, wait, hold on, somebody just
Speaker 1: you guys need a challenge coin board. What is this
Speaker 1: message here?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, hold on? Yeah, hey, if you guys need
Speaker 1: a challenge coin board to display all the coins, let
Speaker 1: me know. Oh you make he makes custom ones? Oh cool,
Speaker 1: look at that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I I don't know. Somebody probably steal him out of
Speaker 1: the studio. Probably not. It just get moved because everything's
Speaker 1: getting moved. So but uh, yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I don't know if my collection is good enough yet.
Speaker 1: But if I had a Trump one, I would like
Speaker 1: that'd be over the fireplace, right, people come over, and
Speaker 1: if you're obnoxiously trying to show it to him, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie, because like, how often do you get
Speaker 1: a presidential challenge coin? Oh, now, I'm gonna see I'm
Speaker 1: you know what, you gotta talk to somebody I know
Speaker 1: up there. I wonder if they could. And then I
Speaker 1: saw I don't know if you saw it. So Trump
Speaker 1: coined one of the Marines on Marine one, right, so
Speaker 1: you know the Marines that stand outside of the helicopter there,
Speaker 1: And he coined one of the marines, but he didn't
Speaker 1: coin the other and I saw people who hate Trump
Speaker 1: are like, oh, he's discriminating, blah blah blah. They try
Speaker 1: to make some racial component, and it's like, do you
Speaker 1: not understand how it works? So if Trump's gonna coin somebody,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he will. He can make it up on
Speaker 1: the fly. But a lot of these things are predetermined.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know anything about challenge coins, just
Speaker 1: bear with me for just like a couple of minutes,
Speaker 1: because I have to explain this. A lot of this
Speaker 1: stuff is predetermined when somebody like Trump coins somebody, So
Speaker 1: you know, likely what happened is a commanding officer or
Speaker 1: you know, somebody up in the food chain basically said, hey,
Speaker 1: this kid, this guy, this man whatever, he you know,
Speaker 1: he's been doing this for ten years. He's got an
Speaker 1: exemplary record. He's a great dude. And and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: if you could do that, and even though it really
Speaker 1: I mean it has monetary value in the sense that
Speaker 1: it's from the president, I guess you could probably you know,
Speaker 1: sell it on eBay. That's not what it's about. It's
Speaker 1: it's about recognition of what you're doing. It's and it's cool, man,
Speaker 1: this is really cool. But Trump's is like, it's like
Speaker 1: the challenge coin to and all challenge coins. Man, it's
Speaker 1: a it's it's it's a beast, all right, seven nineteen
Speaker 1: here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Coming up on
Speaker 1: the show, we'll chat with Stephen Kent. That'll be at
Speaker 1: eight oh five. We'll get into that and uh, we
Speaker 1: have a whole big segment because tariffs don't work until
Speaker 1: they do. And I need ross to stare inside this
Speaker 1: gold box with a six angel wing to see if
Speaker 1: it's real.
Speaker 3: So are there challenge coins in it?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't see.
Speaker 1: It full of challenge coins. You should totally get up
Speaker 1: in there because this is just a it's a weird
Speaker 1: story because also the headline is fake. It says CI
Speaker 1: secret CIA files claim Arc of the Covenant has been found. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not really. I'll explain next hang out another day. Another
Speaker 1: tariff discussion, and also another group of companies that have
Speaker 1: decided it's probably a better idea to do some manufacturing
Speaker 1: here in the US. Except now we're getting into the
Speaker 1: big stuff, specifically Optimobile, and.
Speaker 10: This is very modest, and what we're going to be
Speaker 10: doing is a twenty five percent tariff on all cars
Speaker 10: that are not made in the United States. If they're
Speaker 10: made in the United States, is absolutely not terrorf We
Speaker 10: start off with a two and a hared percent base,
Speaker 10: which is what we were at, and we go to
Speaker 10: twenty five percent, and basically, as you know, and as
Speaker 10: you've been saying, not reporting as accurately as a chippy reported,
Speaker 10: because it's a massive story, business is coming back to
Speaker 10: the United States so that they don't have to pay.
Speaker 1: Tariffs, all right, And I will say this, I'm a
Speaker 1: little surprised at twenty five percent as it pertains to Europe,
Speaker 1: like not delineating, because Europe charges ten percent. So if
Speaker 1: a US manufacturer wants to offload a veicle in Europe,
Speaker 1: it's ten percent, and so for him to go to
Speaker 1: twenty five is more about attacking China. But also I
Speaker 1: don't know why you wouldn't like the matching of the
Speaker 1: tariffs is one thing. Going fifteen points above it on
Speaker 1: European vehicles, I don't know about that. A lot of
Speaker 1: people drive us to have I used to have what
Speaker 1: I did you know? I used to have a BMW right,
Speaker 1: although that technically I think that car was made in
Speaker 1: South Africa. BMW has a plant there. I think that's
Speaker 1: what the sticker was online. But when I did that
Speaker 1: endorsement for the BMW dealership, and they're great cars, a
Speaker 1: lot of people drive them. So and I know you
Speaker 1: drive America. I like, I hear you, I get you.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This never felt smart to me, but
Speaker 1: I know some of you love doing it. So here
Speaker 1: we go. This is from ral. How much is that
Speaker 1: doggie in the window? If it's your driver's side window
Speaker 1: and you're driving, it could cost you one hundred bucks
Speaker 1: if a new law or a new bill becomes law.
Speaker 1: All right, So and this is a Republican sponsored bill,
Speaker 1: by the way, dude, have you seen some of the apps?
Speaker 1: And we're going to talk more with Pete tomorrow about this.
Speaker 1: But the lunatic Democrat bills that were filed this week,
Speaker 1: holy crap. Like one lunatic who wants to make the
Speaker 1: minimum wage twenty two dollars, which absolutely would demolish small
Speaker 1: businesses in North Carolina. I mean, look what happened in
Speaker 1: California when they made it twenty dollars for fast food.
Speaker 1: The closures, and that's California where you could make a
Speaker 1: much much better argument for a higher dollar amount. I mean,
Speaker 1: they still went way too high, clearly, But twenty two
Speaker 1: dollars in North Carolina. So that's the stuff there. So
Speaker 1: that's some of the stuff that is being filed there.
Speaker 1: And remember when it's island time, as it is now,
Speaker 1: just because you file something doesn't mean anything. Also, I
Speaker 1: think the Democrat is she's a woman. I can't remember
Speaker 1: what the Rep's name was. You filed the twenty two dollars.
Speaker 1: What you do? This is strategy. Okay, let me explain
Speaker 1: something to you. What you do when you are not
Speaker 1: in power and you have no chance of your bills
Speaker 1: actually becoming law. It doesn't matter what you put in them.
Speaker 1: So you put, you know, you put big stupid ideas
Speaker 1: that you think stupid people are going to gravitate towards
Speaker 1: because they don't give a second of thought to what
Speaker 1: twenty two dollars an hour minimum wage would do in
Speaker 1: North Carolina. So that in the next voting cycle they
Speaker 1: vote for you and you never have to worry about
Speaker 1: the consequences of your actions here because you filed a
Speaker 1: bill knowing that it won't even get assigned to a committee.
Speaker 1: It's you filed it. That's going to be the end
Speaker 1: of it. It will go nowhere, so you can write
Speaker 1: stupid stuff in there. Right, Let's say Ross and I
Speaker 1: were elected officials and our parties out of power. Ross
Speaker 1: could literally submit a bill and be like free olive
Speaker 1: garden for life for all citizens of North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're doing it pretty much just for the branding
Speaker 3: and for the marketing that's going to come from the
Speaker 3: press covering it.
Speaker 1: Yes, and of course they ran out and did it,
Speaker 1: and then they do click baity headlines, so like the
Speaker 1: minimum wage in North Carolina soon could be twenty two
Speaker 1: dollars Fox Fox eight in Greensboro, raum with that head
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You know it's not you know
Speaker 1: that that bill is going nowhere, and then you don't
Speaker 1: do analysis as to frankly, how horrible that would be.
Speaker 1: How many of you own a business right now and
Speaker 1: could sustain twenty two dollars minimum wage if your business
Speaker 1: employees entry level employees.
Speaker 3: Not only that, but those people making that money now
Speaker 3: are going to ask for a raise because they don't
Speaker 3: want to repay them any minimum.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 3: They're going to be like, well, now I deserve more money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and I wouldn't blame them. I saw literally
Speaker 1: that point brought up to one of the National Congress.
Speaker 1: It might have been the former rep. From Houston who died.
Speaker 1: I think it was her, she Sheila Jackson Lee. They
Speaker 1: brought that up and she's like, well, those people are
Speaker 1: just greedy, and it's like, no, they're not, dude. If
Speaker 1: I work, if I work somewhere and we have in
Speaker 1: their entry levels ten dollars and I worked there for
Speaker 1: two or three years and now I'm making twelve fifty
Speaker 1: or fifteen or whatever because I, you know, supervisor, I
Speaker 1: got more, and all of a sudden, you're going to
Speaker 1: all of us are going to make twenty two now,
Speaker 1: even though I've got years more experience, I'm in a
Speaker 1: supervisory role. That's not sustainable. I'd leave. So, yes, one
Speaker 1: hundred percent bad idea. This, on the other hand, could
Speaker 1: get a hearing. So these are the ones we choose
Speaker 1: to talk about. And here we go. So this is Republican,
Speaker 1: A couple of different Republicans on this or the sponsors,
Speaker 1: and it's essentially a distracted driving thing. The bill would
Speaker 1: impose a one hundred dollars fine on driver who are
Speaker 1: caught operating a vehicle on a public street while holding
Speaker 1: an animal or allowing it to sit in their lap.
Speaker 1: How do you guys feel about that? I mean, I
Speaker 1: used to drive around with a dog in my truck,
Speaker 1: although he mostly would be in the back, but if
Speaker 1: it was raining, he'd get up in the cab. And
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you he was I never had him
Speaker 1: on my lap. Now, to be fair, he would have
Speaker 1: to tear himself away from sticking his half of his
Speaker 1: body out the passenger side window and having his eyeballs
Speaker 1: bleed because I'm doing eighty driving down the freeway and
Speaker 1: he's too dumb to put his head in. But hey,
Speaker 1: that's what made him happy. So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: But like, not in the lap. And I can't tell
Speaker 1: you the number of people I've seen driving around And
Speaker 1: if you know, most of the time people will have like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's cute kind of reaction to it. Right, there's h
Speaker 1: I had a I have a neighbor. I've a neighbors.
Speaker 1: He's got like a little white I don't know what
Speaker 1: the hell of the thing is. It's you know what
Speaker 1: it is? Whatever breed hates me so and and I
Speaker 1: pretty much anyone who gets near it except for her,
Speaker 1: and and uh, it's the wife's dog. But I've seen
Speaker 1: him driving with it too, and that thing will sit
Speaker 1: right in the lap. It's got his little head hanging
Speaker 1: out the driver's side window. And I just thought, well,
Speaker 1: that's probably not a good idea because I know your dog's
Speaker 1: a spaz and if that thing flips out in another
Speaker 1: dog while you're driving and it causes you to do like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that's not the safest thing. But
Speaker 1: also I don't know that I've ever done a story
Speaker 1: where the cause of the accident was a small dog
Speaker 1: sitting in somebody's lap, So who knows?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Now what there should be a lot is that you
Speaker 1: ever see weirdos who drive around with cats in a car.
Speaker 1: I've seen that those people need and we need to
Speaker 1: bring back the mental institutions because like cat, you know,
Speaker 1: I catt will turn on you in a minute, dig
Speaker 1: those claws and right into your right into your leg
Speaker 1: or whatever, and now you're you know, now you just
Speaker 1: hit a school bus. But yeah, with dogs, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You think it's do we need more laws? Do we
Speaker 1: need to know the laws saying you can't have a
Speaker 1: dog in your lap? And uh? One of the one
Speaker 1: of the comments here, and I suspect that that maybe
Speaker 1: some of you would identify is a woman claiming that
Speaker 1: it's the only way her dog will ride in the
Speaker 1: car and not be a lunatic. Right, he doesn't move
Speaker 1: if you try to put him elsewhere. He's like he's
Speaker 1: running around in the car. And our is our chiuhaha Isabelle?
Speaker 1: That's sound that she passed a while back. But that's
Speaker 1: the one that would like, you know, super scared of everyone.
Speaker 1: And she was like aggressive, like if.
Speaker 3: You got too close to her because she yea, she
Speaker 3: was abused, so it was like an abusive reaction. And
Speaker 3: every time we would put her in the car if
Speaker 3: we had to go somewhere, she would immediately like run
Speaker 3: into your lap because she was terrified of the vibration
Speaker 3: of the car. Sure, but she was also like this
Speaker 3: big like super tiny.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah again, I don't know that I have an
Speaker 1: opinion on this one. I don't have a dog.
Speaker 3: And she would just jump up in your lap and
Speaker 3: like curl up into a ball like terrified. Yeah what
Speaker 3: is uh?
Speaker 1: In the story they had their interview in this uh
Speaker 1: who is it? Yeah, it's a woman who has a poodle.
Speaker 1: Inter poodle is not a small dog either, So I
Speaker 1: don't know. And then you delineate based on size of
Speaker 1: the dog. What if you have like an African boarhound,
Speaker 1: that thing sat in your lap, you wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to see where you're going. You ever see one of
Speaker 1: those dogs. I just happened to see one in person
Speaker 1: here for the first time a few weeks ago, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, why, nice wolf? What is that? Holy cow?
Speaker 1: All right? What is it? You see? This is exactly
Speaker 1: what I thought. Now here comes the emails. My dog
Speaker 1: always rides in my lap. He's no trouble. I hear
Speaker 1: you again. I don't know that I have is a
Speaker 1: bad punt. I don't know that I have a dog
Speaker 1: in this fight because like I can see both sides
Speaker 1: like chill, Like the dog's not doing anything crazy. Most dogs,
Speaker 1: you get them in a car, they're like they're just
Speaker 1: like excited to see the world go by, right, same
Speaker 1: reason your dog stares out the front window and if
Speaker 1: it sees a squirrel, it's like I must protect the homestead, right. So,
Speaker 1: but like dogs can also wig out. Man, that dog
Speaker 1: that I talked about CALLI, who I would drive around
Speaker 1: of my truck with when she was younger. I couldn't
Speaker 1: put her in the back of the truck because if
Speaker 1: she saw something, she's like, I'm gonna go get that.
Speaker 1: And she did it one time when I was doing
Speaker 1: like twenty miles an hour, and how she didn't get
Speaker 1: hurt is beyond me. But it just terrified me. And
Speaker 1: so that's why I started putting her in the cab
Speaker 1: as we're working on training when she was younger. So,
Speaker 1: I don't know what is this, Boston Paul. Isn't there
Speaker 1: a law in the books already called heated operation? I
Speaker 1: don't know. You're the cop. You tell me, and I
Speaker 1: know I've seen your pictures. You drive around with your
Speaker 1: lunatic dogs literally on the dash. Boston Paul sent me
Speaker 1: a picture He's got like a little for his little
Speaker 1: one of his little tiny mongrels. It's got like a
Speaker 1: little bed sits on the dash or something. Again, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, but my email is filling
Speaker 1: up with people who love doing the with the dog there.
Speaker 1: All right, did we test? Are we good to go?
Speaker 1: Do we know what's up? Uh?
Speaker 3: So we're not really sure, but right, the com rex
Speaker 3: but it's sort of being weird. So he thinks he
Speaker 3: fixed it, mate, Maybe he did not.
Speaker 1: What's going on there? Just fix it?
Speaker 2: Am I underwater? Am I not? I don't know?
Speaker 1: Actually no, I mean you're a little quiet, but yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you sound much clearer than your home microphone.
Speaker 2: Don't say that. Don't say that.
Speaker 1: Wait, don't say that. You sound better, understand.
Speaker 2: I want you to say it sounds good enough at home.
Speaker 1: Obviously we get the job done.
Speaker 3: Unless so it's like it was going in and out
Speaker 3: like it would sound like he's underwater where he's like,
Speaker 3: we need to do it on the phone. I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: we're doing it like this.
Speaker 1: But it's going to be more fun if you write, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can make funny. So do you ever have a
Speaker 1: dog that like would ride in your lap while you're driving?
Speaker 2: Do? I? Yes? But I don't would you dog's not
Speaker 2: allowed in the new truck, so oh.
Speaker 1: Well that's a truck issue, but you had no problem
Speaker 1: in the old truck or whatever of dog chilling in
Speaker 1: your lap while you're driving.
Speaker 11: Most of the time, I don't really prefer that, but
Speaker 11: she runs over, she does it, and then I'm just
Speaker 11: on the tail end to get home. I would just
Speaker 11: be like, you know what, I'm just gonna deal with
Speaker 11: instead of trying to fight her off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying. They're thinking to make it illegal here.
Speaker 1: So and yeah, very divided.
Speaker 11: Listen, that's that's not a bad idea, not a bad idea,
Speaker 11: all right, horse ideas.
Speaker 1: I keep waiting for you to go under water, but
Speaker 1: you're not doing it. So I guess do your weather
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe a payoff for me at
Speaker 1: the end.
Speaker 11: Yeah, more dry weather statements out about fire worst fires west.
Speaker 11: I been some evacuations h Rutherford County. I believe in
Speaker 11: a Polk County get hit hard and wildfires in dry weather.
Speaker 2: Continuing next few days. I don't think much help.
Speaker 11: Special weather statement for the low related humidity and the
Speaker 11: dangerous fire conditions. Frost advisory too. This morning seeing tep
Speaker 11: in the low thirties in spots, but a beautiful afternoon
Speaker 11: mid upper sixties. Tomorrow low seventies to the mid seventies,
Speaker 11: especially from the triad West could get closer to eighty
Speaker 11: and the Triangle. And then as we look ahead towards Saturday,
Speaker 11: more dry weather, similar temperatures mid upper seventies before we
Speaker 11: start to get some showers by Sunday afternoon and to
Speaker 11: Sunday night, Monday and even on into Tuesday. Now a
Speaker 11: chance of shower, so so much needed rain is on
Speaker 11: the way case. Hopefully we'll get enough here to at
Speaker 11: least knock some of that fire down, especially to the
Speaker 11: west of us.
Speaker 2: So some hope, but probably not going to be enough.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, thank you sir. We'll try again in
Speaker 1: the next hour and hopefully it holds. Okay, thanks all right,
Speaker 1: racet aging there from the Weather Channel. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come back to the Ark of the Covenant thing
Speaker 1: just because that story is just that's just crazy. That's
Speaker 1: right up rally, and we had another sun we've had
Speaker 1: another sub mishap, not to the you know, it's not
Speaker 1: like the Deep Dive to go see the Titanic sub
Speaker 1: story with the PlayStation controller. But a tourist, a homemade
Speaker 1: tourist submarine. Ross you would you get on a homemade
Speaker 1: tourist submarine? You show up?
Speaker 3: Whose is it? Like if it was like Elon Musk's
Speaker 3: side project, like hey this is yeah, I might get on.
Speaker 3: That made me.
Speaker 1: No, we're talking about some dude who you know, is
Speaker 1: one of these guys who just sits. He just runs
Speaker 1: a tourist trap on the beach.
Speaker 3: No, this is like one of the guys where he
Speaker 3: took people down to see the Titanic with the controller,
Speaker 3: with the Xbox controlleror whatever.
Speaker 1: This is much more sketchy. This thing doesn't dive very
Speaker 1: It barely goes underwater, probably because the dude looks like
Speaker 1: he made it himself. Unfortunately, though, there there was a problem.
Speaker 1: So we'll get all that and much more coming up
Speaker 1: here on the KCO Day radio program. Kind of got
Speaker 1: back into the cycle with the release of some of
Speaker 1: the other CIA stuff and the JFK stuff and all
Speaker 1: of that, and this is I think I think they
Speaker 1: released part of it like in two thousand or something.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time. That being said, it's now
Speaker 1: entered the news cycle again. So and I think there
Speaker 1: was some supplemental documents that were part of that latest
Speaker 1: document dump, which is what revisited this. All right, So
Speaker 1: here's the headline, and again the headline. The headline is
Speaker 1: kind of bs all right, and it says secret CIA
Speaker 1: files claim Arc of the Covenant has been found. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, tell me more. Well, not really. So the
Speaker 1: documents talk about the studies during the nineteen eighties with
Speaker 1: remote viewing right now, and it's an interesting study. So basically,
Speaker 1: they brought in people they thought were remote viewers, and
Speaker 1: they didn't tell them what they were looking for, but
Speaker 1: they indicated kind of where they might try to look,
Speaker 1: and then they tried to influence what they would find.
Speaker 1: And they were trying to get them to say that
Speaker 1: they could remote view the Arc of the Covenant. Now
Speaker 1: they claim they didn't tell them that. And there was
Speaker 1: one dude who was, according to this was very talented,
Speaker 1: and immediately he said that he was remote viewing the
Speaker 1: Ark of the Covenant and started describing it, described it
Speaker 1: as you know, the gold and the handles, and it's
Speaker 1: got the it's got an angel with six wings, and
Speaker 1: you know, now here's the thing. You know, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of speculation, and then of course biblically we know
Speaker 1: what is said that the Ark of the Covenant looks
Speaker 1: like so, but it's the part where he honed in
Speaker 1: on that, and they were that's what they wanted, but
Speaker 1: they didn't tell him. So of all the objects to
Speaker 1: remote view, for him to remote view, and I'm making
Speaker 1: quotes this whole time with my fingers, to remote view
Speaker 1: the thing that they wanted. They found very impressive. So
Speaker 1: where is the Ark of the Covenant? Somewhere in the
Speaker 1: Middle East? You didn't find nothing. If that's your description,
Speaker 1: that's done. If Ross's cat runs out of his house
Speaker 1: when he gets home later he's like, oh, my cat
Speaker 1: ran outside. We can't find it, I'd be like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I found it. It's somewhere in the US. Yeah, give
Speaker 1: me my reward money. I mean, it's somewhere in the
Speaker 1: Middle East. Everyone with the exception of Ethiopia, believes it
Speaker 1: quote is somewhere in the Middle East, right the the
Speaker 1: I guess the worky knowledge of it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And and that, by the way, among people who believe
Speaker 1: it physically existed, But a lot a lot of people
Speaker 1: do is that it was in Jerusalem. It was kept
Speaker 1: inside the Holy of Holies, you know, basically the inner
Speaker 1: chamber of the Temple there and and then I don't know,
Speaker 1: Babylonia whoever sacked him in like six hundred BC or
Speaker 1: whatever took it. So and Ethiopia claims it's chilling in
Speaker 1: a church, but they won't let anyone come and see it.
Speaker 1: But a lot of.
Speaker 3: Tourists, yeah, but saying like it's in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: It's pretty vague. I mean, yeah, I thought that I
Speaker 3: saw a documentary was in a warehouse in the Nevada Desert.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, okay, were there Russians about?
Speaker 3: There were?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's not so you've seen the documentary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I just think, look, here's the deal. I think,
Speaker 1: if you're all in on this and you claim to
Speaker 1: have found it, you have to look at it first.
Speaker 1: And I'll stand over here right prove it to me.
Speaker 1: Open it up. There's all sorts of there's treasure INSI
Speaker 1: I do it, and if your face starts melting, I'll
Speaker 1: be like that dude found the Arc of the Covenant
Speaker 1: because I you know, I saw Indiana Jones. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that'd be great. So anyway, yeah, I don't know that
Speaker 1: I'm buying that thought. We had Steven locked down and
Speaker 1: then maybe but we didn't confirm. So maybe I missed
Speaker 1: did he maybe he send an email or so. I
Speaker 1: don't know. So that I guess we're not going to
Speaker 1: chat with him. What I mean, we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: snow white and some other stuff. We can still talk
Speaker 1: about it, obviously, but I didn't want to get his perspective. So,
Speaker 1: uh well, all right, we'll figure out what's up with that.
Speaker 1: He's a busy dude. He needs to travel over the
Speaker 1: world too. Where was he in Poland here not long ago?
Speaker 1: And maybe he found the Ark of the Covenant and
Speaker 1: looked inside. Now I'm gonna feel bad because his face
Speaker 1: is gone. So all right, well, anyway, I got a
Speaker 1: few other things we get to. I just saw this.
Speaker 1: I literally just saw this story here. So Giants New
Speaker 1: York Giants football team, Lashawn Johnson, a former running back
Speaker 1: for them. They just popped this dude for running a massive,
Speaker 1: massive dogfighting ring like multiple states, all sorts, like he
Speaker 1: was making bank off this. According to the DOJ, they
Speaker 1: announced the indictment yesterday, No, they announced it Tuesday. So
Speaker 1: they found this dude, They alleged they found this dude
Speaker 1: to be running one of the largest dog fighting operations
Speaker 1: that has ever been federally prosecuted. In fact, how many
Speaker 1: this is just in his house and his house. This
Speaker 1: is just his house, right, and there's other dogs at
Speaker 1: other facilities because again, he was doing this all over.
Speaker 1: Allegedly at his house he had one hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: pit bulls or they're described in the indictment as pit
Speaker 1: bull type dogs. They've been used. Honestly, man, here's what
Speaker 1: you do. Go do the trial, figure out and if
Speaker 1: he's guilty, dip him in beef tallow because that's all
Speaker 1: the rage now, right, the beef tallow ross. You got
Speaker 1: any beef tallow for your home? Somebody was sitting here
Speaker 1: and send me an email. He's like, hey, I sell
Speaker 1: beef tallow because I guess I mentioned it in something
Speaker 1: the other day. But beef tallow is now what like steaken?
Speaker 1: Was it a shake, shack or shake? I can't remember
Speaker 1: which one were Kennedy Junior was there eating and they're
Speaker 1: making their fries in that and so that's now the
Speaker 1: food rage, I guess. But you know, it's really easy
Speaker 1: to make and and in fact, a lot of times,
Speaker 1: although now everyone's doing it, you can. You can get
Speaker 1: all the parts you need to make it from scraps essentially,
Speaker 1: if you know a butcher. But so anyway, dip this
Speaker 1: dude in beef tallow. Throw them in a room with
Speaker 1: the one hundred and ninety pit bulls. If found guilty,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's fair. We'll see how well trained
Speaker 1: they are. But make sure you get lots of beef
Speaker 1: tallow on them. I hear pitbulls love that. US Attorney
Speaker 1: General Pam Bondi called the alleged animal abuse cruel and depraved.
Speaker 1: Well that goes without saying. Let's see here trying to
Speaker 1: figure out when he actually played it was the last
Speaker 1: time he played. Yeah, he retired at the end of
Speaker 1: the nineties. I was gonna say, it's been a minute,
Speaker 1: and he was. So he was running dogfighting operations in Kansas, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: I think his home was in Oklahoma, as well as
Speaker 1: some others, under the cover of running kennels. So that
Speaker 1: was his cover, except people got suspicious one because they
Speaker 1: got the dog fighting in two. He didn't take other dogs.
Speaker 1: So he's running like this business facade and it's just
Speaker 1: chock full of pit bulls and he doesn't take other
Speaker 1: dogs to actually kennel, so it wasn't probably very good cover.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that's the stuff I don't understand. It's
Speaker 1: like when they do the you know, the the cock
Speaker 1: fighting operations, right, they go down to Smithfield and there's
Speaker 1: like forty remember when they all ran into the woods
Speaker 1: and they just left like fifty cars there. I think
Speaker 1: that was down in Johnston County. It was somewhere in
Speaker 1: North Carolina and they just all ran into the woods.
Speaker 1: It's like all your cars are here, like you know,
Speaker 1: we could run plates losers and that shocks you that
Speaker 1: that goes on. But this guy, he took it to
Speaker 1: a whole new level. Like Michael Michael Vick was accused
Speaker 1: of I think involved what four dogs, five dogs that
Speaker 1: they actually seized, and then they accused him of killing
Speaker 1: I think ten or something. I'm not justifying one over
Speaker 1: the other. I'm just pointing out that this guy, this
Speaker 1: guy had franchised this thing basically because they made other arrests.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, here we go. Oh you know what,
Speaker 1: Ross I figured out why he did it? Do you
Speaker 1: know who drafted this guy? This explains everything. Do you
Speaker 1: know who drafted this piece of garbage? Allegedly? No idea Packers.
Speaker 1: This is exactly what a packers person would do. Patriots,
Speaker 1: Packers can't trust him. I want to watch out the
Speaker 1: teams with the P's No, no, no, except for the Panthers.
Speaker 1: They're fine. But all right, yeah, I'm not surprised any
Speaker 1: shot I can get in on the Patriots for the Packers,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. Over the course of the show,
Speaker 1: I had a vision.
Speaker 3: I just had a vision.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're Remo viewing something.
Speaker 3: But he, dude, that was super weird. You were just
Speaker 3: talking about the dogs, and I felt like I could
Speaker 3: see where the arc of The Covenant was. I'm not
Speaker 3: no joke.
Speaker 1: It is somewhere in the Middle East. Is that I know?
Speaker 3: I'm seeing it clearly.
Speaker 1: Sign maybe a business nearby.
Speaker 3: It looks like it's in the basement of the Alamo.
Speaker 3: Is there is a bike? He has a red bike.
Speaker 1: How did I know that? I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's super weird.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what I want you. Look. I want
Speaker 1: to see if you're right. So I want you to
Speaker 1: get in this semi truck with this nice woman and.
Speaker 3: She will drive you.
Speaker 1: What you don't want to ride with.
Speaker 3: It was scary as a kid, dude, that.
Speaker 1: Was And it's so like and if you watch it now,
Speaker 1: you're like, I was a kid, but you still jump
Speaker 1: just a little.
Speaker 3: We should. Yeah, it sure was claymation face.
Speaker 1: My sister wouldn't watch it. She couldn't watch it, and
Speaker 1: so me, being the super nice older brother, I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll fast forward and then I would stop and play
Speaker 1: right as it was gonna happen.
Speaker 3: You ever do a thing where you pause it so
Speaker 3: you see all the different formations of large margints face
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.
Speaker 1: I saw that. There was a whole article I saw
Speaker 1: on one It's one of those nerd sites where they
Speaker 1: basically were doing a deep dive of large marches transformation,
Speaker 1: and I clicked on it, so it clearly worked, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: good on, Good on you editor of whatever that website was,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that's interesting. So
Speaker 1: also I thought they're gonna have a little backstory there,
Speaker 1: but they kind of didn't. Oh that's nice, all right.
Speaker 1: I'm people are now telling me about all of the
Speaker 1: different busts in their various communities for cockfighting, her dog fight.
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? What is going on?
Speaker 1: And you see that by the way, you see the
Speaker 1: it's a big thing. And still in like Latin American
Speaker 1: countries it's a problem. And in fact, if you ever
Speaker 1: gone to keep Russ, you ever go to Key West,
Speaker 1: you ever made it all the way down there, I
Speaker 1: never have no. Okay, So if you go to key West,
Speaker 1: there's chickens everywhere, and there's cats. There's cats everywhere too,
Speaker 1: but there's chickens everywhere. If you're on the beach, which
Speaker 1: you know, Key West isn't really a beachy beach, but
Speaker 1: they do have a couple of beaches kind of on
Speaker 1: the I guess the south side of town there, just
Speaker 1: before you get into the main mix there. And so
Speaker 1: I go over that beach and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's people, you know, sitting with their tents and got
Speaker 1: their coolers, and then there's like two hundred chickens just
Speaker 1: run around. It is illegal to touch the chickens. They
Speaker 1: are protected and they and then they just see them
Speaker 1: walking around in Key West and there's a dude who
Speaker 1: has trained cats who does like a busker thing, you know,
Speaker 1: where he's like making the cats do tricks. Then people
Speaker 1: throw money in hat. And I just happen to be
Speaker 1: there's a there's a bar outdoor bar kind of in
Speaker 1: the middle there called Boars something or other. Anyway, I
Speaker 1: just it was a big gathering space and that's kind
Speaker 1: of where the cat guy was. And so I'm sitting there,
Speaker 1: I'm sipping a beer. I'm watching these cats and I'm
Speaker 1: like ugh, cats, uh. And and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: one of these chickens comes over and starts alfing the cats,
Speaker 1: and the cats are terrified. And all these chickens are
Speaker 1: literally the remnants of cockfighting operations. Like when you figure
Speaker 1: out what they what was, what was going on there?
Speaker 1: That was that was a big thing that was going
Speaker 1: on down there. And then one day they're like no,
Speaker 1: they just get to live and they think they run
Speaker 1: the place. Fascinating, but they all kind of look weird too,
Speaker 1: like they've seen some stuff, which they probably have. But
Speaker 1: watching those cats r get being terrorized by that chicken.
Speaker 1: But it's not something I ever expected to see, and
Speaker 1: that chicken was giving it. Man, you ever been you
Speaker 1: ever been chased by a chicken or a goose or
Speaker 1: something when you're a kid, it's terrifying.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I was chased by a peacock as an adult.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Oh that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because you took there Lincoln like to go right, yeah,
Speaker 3: the conservatory up there, like to the where is it
Speaker 3: in Ashborough?
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah, yeah, they're near near over there.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah no, And it's got this a peacock going
Speaker 3: around in the parking lot like like and it sees
Speaker 3: its reflection in the cars, and then it'll start pecking
Speaker 3: at the car by itself, like trying to attack it.
Speaker 3: And then if it sees you, like trying to chase
Speaker 3: me out of the parking lot.
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, this is Peacocks are aggressive and also
Speaker 1: U and I guess if you've never really been around peacocks,
Speaker 1: the noise that the females make sounds like somebody is
Speaker 1: getting murdered. Like it belot. You know, you think of
Speaker 1: a peacock, you generally you think of the plumage of
Speaker 1: the male, right, and you're like, oh, that's you know,
Speaker 1: it's that's beautiful, that's lovely. You ever listen to one
Speaker 1: of the hens a pea hen? I'm like, is somebody
Speaker 1: getting murdered in the woods over there? What is happening?
Speaker 1: I first heard it when I was down in Texas
Speaker 1: because they got like peacocks running around in Houston there,
Speaker 1: like in these like nice neighborhoods. And I just remember
Speaker 1: the first time I ever heard that. Literally, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I thoughts, I thought a woman had been hit, Like,
Speaker 1: what's going on in what's going on in that house
Speaker 1: over there?
Speaker 3: It's like an old rusty ironing board that you're like unfolding, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's worse than that. Like I don't even
Speaker 1: want to play it on the radio to torture you.
Speaker 1: I'd have to go find it. But like it's awful
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my gosh ah, even though now
Speaker 1: I was gonna make it a joke, get myself in trouble,
Speaker 1: won't do it. Won't do it yet another species where
Speaker 1: it's probably best if the women stay silent.
Speaker 3: It was a joke.
Speaker 1: Calm down, but no, have you ever heard those p hens?
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty awful man.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot one another tariff story. Let me throw
Speaker 1: this in Canada? Who has dude? I saw this stat
Speaker 1: I just remember this is gonna be perfect for this story.
Speaker 1: So here's the head, Like Canada bars tests from future
Speaker 1: ev rebate programs. So they've decided to because they're mad
Speaker 1: at the administration. They decided to now punish a private company.
Speaker 1: And I understand it's Elon's company, but Elon doesn't own
Speaker 1: the whole company. It's a publicly traded company, right, so
Speaker 1: you know, if you got two hundred and forty dollars
Speaker 1: or whatever the share price is, ay by the way,
Speaker 1: the share price has been up, up, up the last
Speaker 1: week and a half. I I don't know that we'll
Speaker 1: ever find out. Ross. You have to assume that some
Speaker 1: leftists tried to short Tesla once they started vandalyzing them, right,
Speaker 1: because I saw people saying they were gonna do that,
Speaker 1: like leftist lunatics. So they bet on the stock price
Speaker 1: going down, and the damn thing's up like forty bucks
Speaker 1: in like two weeks. It's it's pretty wild. So they
Speaker 1: shorted it. They lost, They had to have lost money,
Speaker 1: which gives me warm fuzzies. But anyway, back to this,
Speaker 1: So Canada off for his EV rebates, right, which we
Speaker 1: do here in the US. Some of the some of
Speaker 1: them are insane and and people are like, oh and
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is a welfare queen because they take advantage
Speaker 1: of those. Well, the rebates are for all EV's in
Speaker 1: most cases, although they did start to partition some of
Speaker 1: his out for some of the under the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: But Canada is going to rug pull the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Canada also, and this is the stat I saw, so
Speaker 1: Canada over the Justin Trudeau, the amount they printed an
Speaker 1: additional one third of money, so one third of what
Speaker 1: had been the standard what a loonies or whatever they
Speaker 1: call their money. They basically printed another third of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, we printed a bunch of money, but nowhere
Speaker 1: close to it it is. It has absolutely savaged their economy,
Speaker 1: and so much of that money got turned into green programs,
Speaker 1: and so they did analysis of the CO two that
Speaker 1: had been mitigated by Justin Trudeau's green programs. So you
Speaker 1: devastate your economy, or at least you savage it, and
Speaker 1: maybe it's not devastated yet, but you definitely give it
Speaker 1: a rib kick. And as a result, the like the exchange,
Speaker 1: the US dollars down all over the world. Man still
Speaker 1: a lot of it's still somewhat post COVID, but it
Speaker 1: really hasn't recover to where it was. Canada is far worse,
Speaker 1: and the exchange rate it used to be, if I
Speaker 1: spent a day, the Canadian dollar was worth more, same
Speaker 1: with the Euro. Now it's not. US dollar is stronger.
Speaker 1: And so they figured out how much CO two that
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau's green programs that required them to basically devalue
Speaker 1: their currency saved. How much time do you think it
Speaker 1: takes China to admit emit that much carbon, so of
Speaker 1: the carbon over the entire course of Trudeau. This is
Speaker 1: a crazy stat, over the entire course of Trudeau's green
Speaker 1: initiatives and and devaluing the currency. They saved this much carbon.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the amount here in a moment. How
Speaker 1: many how much time do you think it takes China
Speaker 1: to admit that much carbon? How many days? Weeks? Months?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go one week you no, no, a little lower?
Speaker 1: U five days lower, two days lower, one day lower?
Speaker 1: What lower?
Speaker 3: Twelve hours?
Speaker 1: Half? Put that in half? Six six hours because it's Canada.
Speaker 1: There's you know, there's there's not that many people there, right,
Speaker 1: and you really didn't have big carbon issues for the
Speaker 1: majority of the footprint of your comp of your country.
Speaker 1: Six hours. The amount of carbon that justin Trudeau saved
Speaker 1: while while squandering the value of their currency on top
Speaker 1: of everything else. China will put that out in the
Speaker 1: course of two of my shows. Good job, good job, loser.
Speaker 1: You did it, Yeah you did it, and they saved
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, well for six hours, but hey, six
Speaker 1: more hours with your family before you know, whatever happens.
Speaker 1: And that's nice. That was very nice of them. Six hours,
Speaker 1: six hours and as you can imagine, some Canadians were
Speaker 1: not happy at that story for obvious reasons. But now
Speaker 1: they're going to they care so much about the environment
Speaker 1: that they're going to de incentivize purchasing the most popular
Speaker 1: electric vehicle in the world. And again, I don't necessarily
Speaker 1: need rebates, but it's clear that they've delineated this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's wild. And by the way, yeah, somebody send me nema.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into this. Have you seen the Canadian
Speaker 1: billboards yet? And if you don't know what that is,
Speaker 1: they're right here in North Carolina. I'll get into it next.
Speaker 1: Hang on. Over the last two days, I've gotten three
Speaker 1: four or I was just trying to round them up
Speaker 1: so I can see where they are. To Triad one,
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is. The guy has a
Speaker 1: nine to one nine number. I'm looking at his email
Speaker 1: signature here, so I assume it's in the Trine. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. I haven't seen any of these. And
Speaker 1: then one in Fayetteville. So the Canadian government bought a
Speaker 1: bunch of billboards. I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's all over the nation or particular swing states or
Speaker 1: I don't know. The strategy. But they bought billboards. The
Speaker 1: Canadian government bought billboards and like this one and this
Speaker 1: one in Fayetteville. Here, what do you all right? So
Speaker 1: here's what they say. They say tariffs are attacks on
Speaker 1: your grocery bill paid for by the government of Canada,
Speaker 1: and that it's got the you know, the logo there
Speaker 1: from Canada and Fayetteville. I'm just gonna let me just pay.
Speaker 1: I'm not picking up Fayettville. I'm picking on the decision
Speaker 1: to put this in Fayetteville. Do you do you think
Speaker 1: the men and women popping in a Is this on
Speaker 1: brag Boulevard? I can't tell and tell where it is,
Speaker 1: but is that? Are you changed a lot of minds
Speaker 1: with that. Billboards are not necessarily cheap either. Now, as
Speaker 1: we all know, radio is the superior form of advertising.
Speaker 1: Send that to the boss. But you know, billboards, you know,
Speaker 1: we have a we had we used to have an
Speaker 1: entire iHeart when it was clear Channel cleol. We had
Speaker 1: clear Channel outdoor. For whatever reason, we didn't own billboards
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, which I thought was weird because we
Speaker 1: owned a bunch in Minnesota and a lot of states.
Speaker 1: And it's still it's spun off. It's its own company
Speaker 1: now with channels. It's still called Clear Channel. And and
Speaker 1: I remember our salespeople could sell billboards with radio in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: And one of our sellers his name was Kevin Gepphart.
Speaker 1: Uh he was. He showed me a pricing sheef for
Speaker 1: those billboards. Holy cow man. So it's like, that's a
Speaker 1: big investment. So I'm wondering. I'm wondering, and I don't
Speaker 1: know how big the investment is the amount of money
Speaker 1: that you're actually losing on this tariff war right now?
Speaker 1: Like did you spend more on billboards than what you've
Speaker 1: actually lost. I don't know the answer to that, but
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, if they want to, you know, if
Speaker 1: they want to invest in US companies, it looks like
Speaker 1: this one's a lamar, right. Those are the ones we're
Speaker 1: used to in North Carolina. So somebody over there is
Speaker 1: making money. That's fine. You guys should buy some radio
Speaker 1: ads on my show. You can whine about tariffs, that's fine,
Speaker 1: you know. You know, Ross, do you remember I when
Speaker 1: I literally was doing I did an endorsement for Canada.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? Was that you were? You were
Speaker 1: on the show by then, But I would do when
Speaker 1: I was doing the Hunting and Fishing Show, a little
Speaker 1: mini show for Canada, like I was the endorser. This
Speaker 1: is and this is the thing. I don't have beef
Speaker 1: with Canada per se, or Canadians for that matter. I
Speaker 1: have a bunch of friends up there. I used to
Speaker 1: spend an ungodly amount of time in Canada because the
Speaker 1: fishing in western Ontario is so amazing. So they had
Speaker 1: a national or a southeastern US pitch and they they
Speaker 1: opened it up to any any any you know radio
Speaker 1: hosts who might be interested in promoting Ontario tourism, hunting
Speaker 1: and fishing. And I'm like, so I they said, send
Speaker 1: your name and a short description of why you want
Speaker 1: to do it, and I sent, like, I sent like
Speaker 1: twenty pictures of me holding giant fish in Canada. And
Speaker 1: immediately I got it and I had so much fun.
Speaker 1: I got to interview all these different resorts and lodges
Speaker 1: and stuff. Was great, and I'm glad Canada spends the money.
Speaker 1: This I don't know. It seemed kind of wasteful to me. Also,
Speaker 1: the beef with Canada is more lumber and steel. The
Speaker 1: grocery thing seems like an odd thing. For you to
Speaker 1: focus on, because that's why the US was mad, because
Speaker 1: you guys were charging three hundred percent tariffs after a
Speaker 1: certain point on butter and what was what did you
Speaker 1: say the meat one was ross? It was something stupid.
Speaker 1: It was like seven eight hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's that's when I saw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's insane. That's absolutely insane.
Speaker 1: Now is it a huge slice? Do we import a
Speaker 1: lot of dairy from No? Is it because of the taroffs?
Speaker 1: Probably a little. But also you have to understand that
Speaker 1: the US, California and Wisconsin produce more dairy than I
Speaker 1: can't remember what the number is. They're very proud of
Speaker 1: this in Wisconsin. Most people don't realize that actually California
Speaker 1: produces more dairy and the Wisconsin people want to fight
Speaker 1: you when you point that out, but like they're the
Speaker 1: largest single producers in the world of combined dairy, just
Speaker 1: those two. If you add just those two states, then
Speaker 1: the US becomes the largest producer of exportable dairy I
Speaker 1: think is what the number is. So I'm sure China
Speaker 1: produces more interior, but they don't export as much because
Speaker 1: you don't want to drink Chinese milk. Probably got lead
Speaker 1: in it. But in this case, like the beef is
Speaker 1: over groceries, but the way that you're getting hit right
Speaker 1: now is over steel. That's that's what's happened. There's a
Speaker 1: there was a story the other day about a steel
Speaker 1: manufacturer up in Canada that's laying off a third of
Speaker 1: their workforce. I guess they're they're they're doing that thing
Speaker 1: where they park them so they'll hire and back if
Speaker 1: things change, but for right now, and and that sucks, man.
Speaker 1: But like the vulnerability that Canada allowed itself, uh with
Speaker 1: their single When you are essentially delineated down to a
Speaker 1: single trading partner and you find yourself in a spat,
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose. You're gonna I don't care what Joy
Speaker 1: Reid says. In fact, would you put that Joy read
Speaker 1: insanity up again? Please? All right? Russ from the other day,
Speaker 1: if you didn't hear this cut from Joy Reid who
Speaker 1: she'd interviewed, Oh, she's with Don Lemon, I think right,
Speaker 1: So she's on there. This is the reason this chick
Speaker 1: doesn't have a show anymore. She's an absolute lunatic. But
Speaker 1: if anybody thinks what she thinks, you're not doing the math,
Speaker 1: because here's the only thing you need to know, all right,
Speaker 1: the percentage of your GDP in Canada. Let's start in
Speaker 1: the US. The percentage of US GDP that is tied
Speaker 1: to US exports to Canada in any and Vicera is
Speaker 1: two percent of our GDP, so going both ways in Canada,
Speaker 1: it's depending on who you ask, it's twenty six to
Speaker 1: forty percent because there's seasonal adjustments. So when you have
Speaker 1: a fourth of your economy hinging on one trade partner,
Speaker 1: you're screwed. And on the steel thing, it's really not
Speaker 1: even the US's fault because China's been dumping below market
Speaker 1: value steel all over the world, trying to essentially box
Speaker 1: out producers, put them out of business so they can
Speaker 1: be the number one manufacturer. And it's just one of
Speaker 1: a thousand things that China does that is supposed to
Speaker 1: be illegal, and then they just do it anyway. So
Speaker 1: you get that double whamming up in Canada of getting
Speaker 1: in this fight with the US and then China doing
Speaker 1: what they're doing to manipulate the price of steel. I
Speaker 1: don't know why you're running billboards with groceries. That's not
Speaker 1: your problem. Your problem is the steel, and in fact,
Speaker 1: to help you solve the problem, I'm going to send
Speaker 1: you joy reed. The first I'm going to play this
Speaker 1: lunatic cut.
Speaker 12: First of all, you can't make Canada the fifty first
Speaker 12: state without going to war with them. And let me
Speaker 12: explain how that happened, how that worked out. The last
Speaker 12: time we tried to go to war with Canada, they
Speaker 12: burned the White House to the ground in eighteen fourteen.
Speaker 8: And won the war.
Speaker 12: Canada beat us in the War of eighteen twelve. They
Speaker 12: probably liked their chances against us. We're not gonna beat
Speaker 12: them in a war because we have never been able
Speaker 12: to do that. You'd have to occupy a country that
Speaker 12: is equivalent of the size of the United States, in
Speaker 12: which the top two thirds of it is uninhabited, frozen
Speaker 12: forest land that touches the Arctic.
Speaker 3: I can't, I can't, I can How did this get
Speaker 3: stupider from the other day right express how dumb she is?
Speaker 3: In eighteen twelve, did we have the biggest military in
Speaker 3: the history of the world, No, because we do now.
Speaker 1: No, we did not, and that's why we ended up
Speaker 1: leaning on the French for some of that. But they
Speaker 1: it was such a decisive victory. They took exactly zero
Speaker 1: square meters of land. I just want to point this out,
Speaker 1: and in fact, actually we hosed them on. We hosed
Speaker 1: them on some land after that too.
Speaker 3: We just went reported the fact that she points out
Speaker 3: their population is, but she doesn't point out their population
Speaker 3: and compared to our population.
Speaker 1: Well, then she does she but then she points out
Speaker 1: the size as though the size matter that Canada is
Speaker 1: quite a bit larger in the US.
Speaker 3: It is, but like she pointed out, most of it is,
Speaker 3: you can't inhabit it because but.
Speaker 1: Also it's not forest land, right, because there's a little
Speaker 1: thing that happens, and I've been there. When you start
Speaker 1: getting north in Canada, there's no more trees, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is one of the dumbest statements I
Speaker 3: think we've ever played in the show. And every time
Speaker 3: you play it's gonna sound just dumber and dumber.
Speaker 1: Hold on, she's not done. There's twenty more, twenty four
Speaker 1: more seconds.
Speaker 12: You know how that worked out when the Nazis tried
Speaker 12: that with Russia, which is the equivalent of Canada on
Speaker 12: that part of the world. But we don't lose what
Speaker 12: we don't have enough troops to occupy. They are a
Speaker 12: country of thirty nine million people who are who have
Speaker 12: about as many guns per capita as we do.
Speaker 3: Okay, she's so dumb.
Speaker 1: Also, it's spring man, it's raced agent from the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: Le's get him in here. It's spring. So not that
Speaker 1: we couldn't you get the tenth Mountain Division could go
Speaker 1: take that whole country in the middle of December. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but like it's almost summer and the
Speaker 1: snow melts in Canada. She's I don't know, maybe she's
Speaker 1: never been there. Sorry, Ray, it's got a weather angle.
Speaker 1: So and now he's not there. You know why, because
Speaker 1: he died from the stupid he was. He listened to
Speaker 1: joy read and he went, oh my gosh, that's a
Speaker 1: person with an opinion. He listened to the opinion and
Speaker 1: he just just dropped in. Okay, all right, he apparently
Speaker 1: he's recovered. I'm sorry. I think we killed you with
Speaker 1: the stupid that I apologize for that. Did that just happen?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, First as Comras died, he was there and died,
Speaker 3: and then then he called him the phone and then
Speaker 3: that died.
Speaker 1: All right, hold on, uh, go look out the window,
Speaker 1: look to the south, checked the smoke signals, he's he's
Speaker 1: back on the phone or on the comrades. S O.
Speaker 2: S Well initially dialed in it. And so I was
Speaker 2: kind of like said, I thought I.
Speaker 1: Thought you died listening to how I feel bad for you.
Speaker 11: Well we're still here, unfortunately or fortunately everyone.
Speaker 1: Words you think you're you're a meteorologist, Uh, Canada always
Speaker 1: covered in uh a Russian winter level of snow or
Speaker 1: green from time to think it's green.
Speaker 11: Well, remember a couple of years back they dealt with
Speaker 11: their own set up with the big wildfires too.
Speaker 1: No, that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a perfect way to say, no, it's not
Speaker 2: they okay, all right and dry.
Speaker 1: We'll call joy reading.
Speaker 2: You've gotta go probably way northward there the weather.
Speaker 1: Because your thing sounds like it's gonna die again. Really,
Speaker 1: that's I don't know.
Speaker 2: Man, that's whatever looks good.
Speaker 11: Little frost this morning, patche frost frost advisory thirties go
Speaker 11: to sixties today, so we probably double our temperatures you're
Speaker 11: seeing now in the car thermometer mid upper sixties tomorrow,
Speaker 11: mid upper seventies, maybe eighty for the triangle. Same thing
Speaker 11: on Saturday, with a little more cloud in and we'll
Speaker 11: get some showers Sunday through about Tuesday, and there might
Speaker 11: be some stronger storms in spots. So let's to keep
Speaker 11: an eye of swear weather threat, especially Sunday night.
Speaker 2: At the Monday. But much need of rain coming in too,
Speaker 2: so that will be welcomed. Casey.
Speaker 11: It looks like, you know, we're probably done with a
Speaker 11: real cold air. I don't know as we get into
Speaker 11: April on Tuesday and go through the month, if we
Speaker 11: get another little shot at chilly air coming in it
Speaker 11: Right now, looks like call signs are spring and hopefully
Speaker 11: little wet weather, not only for the Polem but some
Speaker 11: of the wildfires to the west of us that continue tomorrow.
Speaker 1: All right, hey you sir, try again tomorrow maybe, yeah, maybe,
Speaker 1: and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next hand. Good morning, Casey.
Speaker 13: Worries over inflation and the widening trade war sank the
Speaker 13: stock market yesterday. President Trump signed his order for twenty
Speaker 13: five percent tariffs on important autos before Wall Street rang
Speaker 13: the closing bell. Those levees will take effect next Wednesday.
Speaker 13: Stock market futures are mixed this morning.
